215: 144 Wind God 215: 144 Wind God Xigou approached.
From beginning to end, he had not gotten involved in this slaughter.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help.
This battle belonged to Fang Zhixing.
He had always wanted to test the actual gap between himself and the children of the noble families.
The massacre had proven a cruel reality.
Fang Zhixing was still not strong enough to sweep through his peers, let alone be invincible among them.
Xigou pondered, “If I had helped, you could have easily won.”
Fang Zhixing stood up, shook the water off his hands, and mused, “Ruan Yingchen’s turtle shell was very tough; you might not have been able to bite through it, and he was extremely fast, he could’ve kicked you to death with one blow.”
Xigou bared his teeth, “Don’t look down on a dog, with my Bloodline Burst Skill, my strength can definitely skyrocket to that of a Second Level Mutant Beast, biting through Ruan Yingchen’s turtle shell would be a piece of cake.”
Fang Zhixing glanced at the corpse of Ruan Yingchen, as dead as a doornail, the turtle shell on his skin’s surface was already gone, naturally, there was no way to verify Xigou’s claim.
“What a pity, I didn’t get to thoroughly understand Lady Hua’s background…”
Fang Zhixing pondered for a moment, then stopped dwelling on it, quickly searched the corpses and cleaned up the scene.
“Let’s go, we have to eradicate Mirror Water Villa, leaving no future troubles behind.”
Fang Zhixing turned around and headed back.
Xigou hurriedly followed.
Ruan Yingchen was dead, and it was only a matter of time before the people inside Mirror Water Villa would find out before naturally informing the Ruan Family.
Even if Ruan Yingchen was not favored in the Ruan Family, the mysterious disappearance of a descendant of the Ruan Family was bound to attract a lot of attention and investigation.
Fang Zhixing, who had once appeared in Mirror Water Villa and was seen by others, one and all must be silenced.
Moments later, the two arrived at the corner.
“Eh?
You’ve come back?”
The two youths chewing leaves looked surprised.
“Woof!”
Xigou split into two and pounced on them.
Soon after, the world quieted down.
One man and one dog winding up, killed their way back to Mirror Water Villa.
Xigou divided into eight, streamed in, and began a massacre.
The Martial Artists in the Great Python Realm within the villa were dealt with one by one by Fang Zhixing.
The rest were all cleaned up by Xigou.
“Splish splash~”
Next to the lake in the backyard, the turtle-snake raised by Ruan Yingchen was upside down on the ground.
The white snake at its tail was severed.
The turtle’s head was also cut off.
Fang Zhixing sheathed his Wind Listening Blade and turned to leave.
By evening…
A dark-covered boat docked in a corner of the lake, far away from the camp.
Fang Zhixing and Xigou disembarked, moved several boxes ashore, stashed them in the woods, and finally sank the boat.
Afterward, they walked towards the camp.
When night fell, they found the boatman who had taken them to Mirror Water Villa.
Fang Zhixing opened his eyes to ensure no one was around and used Shadow Stealth to silently approach the boatman, releasing a Heavenly Slaughter Palm.
Bang!
The boatman unexpectedly burst open, his body turning into a mist of blood, silently dispersing into the lake.
Then, Fang Zhixing retrieved his horse, bought a cart, and left calmly.
Three days passed in a flash!
Fang Zhixing and Xigou crossed mountains and forded streams, making their way back to Qinglin County City.
“Sigh, finally home.”
Xigou sat in front of the cart, raised his head, sniffing the familiar scent in the air, and couldn’t help wagging his tail.
“Hungry?” Fang Zhixing asked with a slight smile.
True to his word, he took Xigou to a restaurant, let Xigou order the dishes himself, and had a big meal.
Stuffed and satisfied, the man and dog returned to the County Government’s separate courtyard.
His Maid immediately came up to report, “A businessman named Yao Shancheng has sent several large boxes and a letter.”
Fang Zhixing nodded.
Calculating the time, Yao Shancheng had gone to Qinghe County and had just about returned at this moment.
Fang Zhixing entered his room and first opened Yao Shancheng’s letter.
The content was mainly accounts, how much money Yao Shancheng had made from selling the Heavenly Slaughter Grass, the division of profits, and so on.
Fang Zhixing didn’t look closely, as he had emptied Mirror Water Villa’s treasury this time and reaped a huge profit, making the money from selling the Heavenly Slaughter Grass negligible.
He ordered the Maid to prepare a bath.
Afterward, he enjoyed a comfortable bath and lay on the bed, sleeping peacefully.
The next morning.
Fang Zhixing visited the training grounds for a bit.
The Infantry was still trained by Wen Yudong, and the Archers camp operated as usual, efficiently and without the need for Fang Zhixing to worry much.
Around the time when the sun was three poles high, Fang Zhixing met with Ding Zhigang and chatted casually for a while.
Nothing significant had happened over the past few days.
Greedy Wolf had been defeated and led his troops to retreat from Qinghe County, hiding deep in the mountains and forests, not daring to show himself.
Qinghe County was still under the Luo Family’s powerful control, nothing had changed.
“The rule of the noble families is too damn solid, unshakeable!”
Xigou exclaimed, deeply moved by their journey which had broadened his horizons.
Fang Zhixing agreed, nodding in response, “You’ve seen how strong the descendants of the noble families are.
If you can’t beat them, nothing else matters.”
“Mm, we have to strive to become stronger as well.”
Xigou thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, “By the way, how far have you enhanced your agility?”
Fang Zhixing pondered, “It hasn’t reached the limit yet, let’s go to the Iron Casting Hall.”
The man and dog left the County Government and quickly made their way to Xuanwu Pavilion, heading straight for the secret chamber.
Without much thought, Fang Zhixing stood in front of the Shadow Leopard Bookshelf.
After waiting for a moment, the Full Level Conditions for each Shadow Leopard Series Technique were refreshed once again.
[Cloud Dragon Three Bends · Full Level Conditions:
1.

2.

…
As expected!
The Full Level Conditions for “Cloud Dragon Three Bends” had decreased by one, and the difficulty level had drastically reduced.
