Chapter 35, Ambush and Encirclement? No One Can Stop It!
However, with the help of the Deductive System, He Chuan was always able to predict the actions of the imperial court in advance. No matter how dangerous the situation was, he could always turn the situation around.
The common people gave this nameless hero a nickname, ‘Night Slayer’!
As the name Night Slayer became more and more famous, something interesting happened.
When some small officials bullied the people like usual, the people only had to shout, ‘aren’t you afraid that Night Slayer will come looking for you?’ Then this official would probably hesitate for a moment before giving up on what he originally wanted to do, or even apologizing!
This way, Night Slayer’s fame went even higher, and the people would treat him as a guardian God against the dynasty officials!
It was probably at this time.
More and more martial artists went to assassinate some officials with bad conduct.
As time went by, Night Slayer no longer referred to a single person, but a group!
Whoever went against the dynasty and killed those corrupt officials would be a member of Night Slayer!
[Social status has been greatly raised, the ‘Inspiring a Resistant Spirit’ achievement has been unlocked, and final evaluation points have been greatly increased!]
He Chuan was surprised by this result, but he was also very gratified.
It seemed that the martial artists of this dynasty were not so hopeless.
They were still somewhat courageous.
They knew how to resist oppression and protect the weak.
They did not let the wails spread throughout the land.
However, they were unable to change the current situation of the people’s lives for a while.
This was a long and arduous road.
It would take a lot of time just to clean up the people in the human trafficking chain.
It had been almost a year since he left Qingyuan County, but he had only assassinated a small part of them.
Of course.
During this period, He Chuan did not just assassinate people.
Every time he went to a new place, he would collect a large number of local martial arts techniques to perfect his Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual.
However, the high-grade cultivation manuals in this world were all mastered by the commanders of the various armies of the dynasty, so it was impossible for them to take it out easily.
As a result, what he obtained were all relatively basic cultivation manuals and he could only cultivate them to the level of a second-rate martial artist at most.
Even though the Tyrannical True Cultivation Method had become more comprehensive and had no blind spots, it did not allow He Chuan to break through to the level of a first-rate martial artist.
Unless, he obtained a better martial art to carry on the deduction, and researched the Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual (upper).
Then, the people on the list who were in the military camp started to have bad luck.
At first, only a few adjutants and commander-in-chief had died.
Later on, those military officers who had upper-rank second-rate strength, and even some deputy generals who were only half-step away from first-rate cultivators, all died mysteriously in the middle of the night.
Comparing their wounds.
They were all killed in one move.
They didn’t even have the chance to resist.
Only then did they realize.
Night Slayer had attacked the military officers!
This was a big issue.
The dynasty’s greatest reliance on ruling the world was the army.
You killed my high-ranking military officers, how could I manage the people?
Hence, the imperial court was enraged and further increased the intensity of the arrests.
But in the end, only a few third-rate martial artists were caught.
They were all wandering people who had voluntarily joined the ranks of killing corrupt officials. They had no idea who the real Night Slayer was.
The people from the imperial court were flustered and exasperated. They began the order to kill without mercy.
These martial artists were collectively escorted to the Meridian Gate. Along with their families, wives, children, old and young, all were beheaded and displayed to the public!
The imperial court even said that if the martial artists in the world dared to collude with Night Slayer again, they would all end up like this!
For a time, the martial artists in the world did not dare to act rashly.
However, the legend of Night Slayer did not end there.
There was still one person who constantly swam in the darkness, making decisions for the common people of the entire dynasty!
This was the effect that the imperial court wanted.
Basically, the only person who would still go against the wind and commit crimes at this time was that ‘Night Slayer Master’.
The empire’s cultivators in charge of arresting followed the clues all the way, predicting in advance the next general who might be assassinated and would be lying in wait nearby.
In this operation, they sent out a total of three lower-stage first-rate experts, one middle-stage first-rate expert, and more than ten late-stage second-rate experts.
In addition, there were close to a thousand well-equipped crossbowmen and archers who were blocking and attacking from afar.
They were trying to kill the Night Slayer Master here in this battle!
In the middle of the night, the military camp was silent.
Only the occasional chirping of cicadas would bring about a momentary clamor.
Everyone was hiding in the dark, waiting for their target to appear.
Whoosh!
In the darkness, the sound of rushing wind could be heard!
A figure flashed by, flying out of the bamboo forest high above, and quietly landing on a tent that was loaded with provisions.
He Chuan looked around, and his gaze stopped at a few static weeds for a few seconds. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he circulated his inner qi to his legs with a faint smile, approaching the largest tent in the military camp at full speed.
Just as he approached, a loud shout suddenly came from the side.
“Attack!”
At the same time as the voice sounded, a cold blade light lit up from the curtain of the tent that had just been lifted.
He Chuan was already prepared. He calmly rolled back and easily dodged the attack.
However, the other party did not give him any time to catch his breath.
He immediately had the soldiers cover him with a rain of arrows.
However, a strange scene appeared.
He Chuan’s figure was like a ghost as he shuttled back and forth in the dense rain of arrows. The poisoned arrows did not even cause a small wound as they were all dodged.
The various experts who had successively landed and sealed off his escape routes were all dumbfounded.
Was this a joke?
Even if they had learned two top-tier movement techniques, they would not be able to dodge such a dense rain of arrows, right?
Was the Night Slayer Master’s movement technique so good to such an extent?
While they were shocked, they did not pay too much attention to it.
So what if his movement technique was good?
Today, there were so many first-rate and second-rate martial artists attacking at the same time. Let’s see where you can run to!
“Kill!”
After the order was given, more than ten people swarmed forward, completely disregarding the one-on-one martial artists’ morals in the martial arts world. They attacked He Chuan from all directions.
However, He Chuan blocked them left and right. Not only could he deal with these many attacks with ease, but he could also find the right time to counterattack in the gaps.
And the strength of the counterattack was extremely great.
A second-rate martial artist was slightly careless and his head was directly cut off. He was no longer qualified to attack.
At first, this group of dynasty martial artists only felt that He Chuan’s martial arts were not bad and his inner qi was abundant. However, after the battle continued for a period of time, his inner qi would be exhausted and he would immediately be hacked to death!
However, as time passed, everyone suddenly realized that something was not right.
In the chaotic battle, He Chuan was actually as slippery as a loach. The others could not even touch him.
However, if they were not careful, they would be severely injured!
In just a few minutes, half of the second-rate warriors that surrounded him died.
Although the first-rate warriors did not suffer any casualties, they could not do anything to He Chuan either.
