Chapter 36: Scum!

Chen Anping finished his cup of Snow King milk tea with a couple of gulps.

He watched the fierce battle. The talismans were all interfered with by the Azure Shadow Light Wave lingering around the Shadow-Roaming Azure Bat and could not be used for the time being.

“Sigh! It’s so boring to just watch. Is there any way for me to participate?”

[Top up ¥100 to receive a low-level Origin Opening Realm puppet. Top up ¥1000 to receive a mid-level Origin Opening Realm puppet. ¥10,000 to receive a low-level Meridian Unblocking Realm puppet (limited to one purchase).]

Heh!

As long as you want to top up, it’s faster than Cao Cao!

Chen Anping complained a few times and bought ten low-level Origin Opening Realm puppets, five mid-level Origin Opening Realm puppets, and one low-level Meridian Unblocking Realm puppet.

Just as he was briefly buying the puppets, a world-shaking change occurred in the game.

…

“I’m not reconciled!”

Lin Jintian clutched the bloody wound on his chest, a trace of painful despair on his face.

[Top up ¥6 to revive Lin Jintian?]

Top up!

[Top up ¥888 to repel the traitorous children who ambushed Xu Lingqing?]

You meow, I’m ‘Nuwa’!

Chen Anping looked at the game screen, so angry that his national curses flew out. He frantically clicked the top-up entrance!

Behind Xu Lingqing, two rebellious men held cold daggers and stabbed at his heart.

Just then, a fierce gust of wind happened to blow from the sky. The wind blew the two men a few steps away, and the daggers in their hands disappeared.

Senior, you saved me again!

On the other side, Lin Jintian had already been pierced through the chest by a cold dagger, and countless amounts of blood gushed out.

His aura instantly dissipated, and all signs of life were gone.

The wind howled past.

Xu Lingqing squinted her eyelids, her eyes flashing with a cold light as she stared at the three men behind her.

“You three are great!”

The three men were the three who had not received treatment in the City Lord’s Mansion yesterday. After being bewitched, they actually assassinated Xu Lingqing and Lin Jintian from behind.

They had already discussed that two people would ambush Xu Lingqing, and the other would ambush Lin Jintian.

But for some reason, Xu Lingqing’s certain death situation.

A gust of wind suddenly blew in the sky. A dazzling violet-gold light flashed around her, and the two men behind her were forcefully pushed back several steps.

The might of the Empress!

At this moment, the faces of the three men instantly turned pale. They tightly covered their mouths and shouted in horror.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… we didn’t do it on purpose, we know we were wrong!”

Xu Lingqing’s gaze was as cold as a knife. Under this gaze, it was as if their hearts were about to be cut to pieces.

“Heh, you don’t know you were wrong, you know you’re going to die!”

They buried their heads and stammered, not daring to look at Xu Lingqing’s eyes at all.

“No… it’s not like that… it’s Jialan Academy, it’s Jialan Academy that bewitched us to assassinate you…”

“Is that so? It’s Jialan Academy again! Is it that our Qing’an Academy is not good to you?”

Xu Lingqing’s teeth chattered, and her eyes burst with endless killing intent. The sword in her hand was ready to fall at any time.

The ferocious beasts that invaded Anjin City could be called demons, but the people who ambushed and protected him in the dark were not even as good as demons.

“Scum! Three scum!”

Faced with Xu Lingqing’s scolding, the three of them hardened their hearts and once again had the idea of assassinating Xu Lingqing. They took out the weapons hidden in their sleeves and aimed at her throat like poisonous snakes.

“I’ll fight you!”

Boom, boom, boom…

The moment the three of them got up, three Raging Fire Spells descended from the sky and burned them to ashes!

“Son of a bitch!”

“Lingqing was almost killed by you demons just now!”

“Since you’re an adult! You should be punished for your mistakes!”

“A life for a life, a debt for a debt. Let their blood pay for my top-up!”

…

There was not a ripple in Xu Lingqing’s cold eyes.

It was more that she didn’t personally deal with the three scum and had to trouble Senior to do it.

She supported Lin Jintian’s body and prayed loudly to the sky in a sad tone.

“Senior, please save City Lord Lin’s life. Anjin City still needs him.”

[You don’t have to worry, he’s fine!]

In an instant, a large group of soldiers in silver armor quietly appeared beside Xu Lingqing. They wore mysterious helmets that exuded an ancient aura, and their whole bodies exuded a cold aura.

“What is this?”

[This is a puppet, to protect your safety!]

Xu Lingqing’s face was blank and dazed. She stammered, “Could it be the legendary battle puppet that only a great refiner can create?”

Chen Anping scratched his head and replied, “I think so!”

Talismans, pills, and puppets.

The three most difficult professions in the Firo Continent were all mastered by Senior. What kind of great power was ‘Senior’?

Xu Lingqing stared blankly at the cold armor on the puppets.

“Senior, how do I use this puppet?”

Chen Anping also asked in confusion, “Customer service! Explain the rules of use to me.”

[Puppets need to be used with spirit stones as the source. A hundred low-grade spirit stones can be used for one attack of an Origin Opening Realm puppet, and one mid-grade spirit stone can be used for one attack of a Meridian Unblocking Realm puppet.]

“No way! With so many ferocious beasts, one attack costs a lot of money!”

[Top up ¥1888 to get a thousand mid-grade spirit stones?]

“Top up! I’ll top up!”

…

In Anjin City, the process of Lin Jintian’s assassination was witnessed by countless citizens.

Accusations rose and fell, and they all blamed the few rebellious children.

But soon, the ferocious beasts that had been deterred by the self-detonation were summoned by some kind of sound and recovered their wild nature of killing.

“Roar, roar, roar…”

The roars of the beast pack were like rolling thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth, and making the soul tremble.

The city crowd that had been immersed in their duties just now instantly turned into a group of panicked lambs and fled towards the back door of Anjin City.

Gong Zang carried Gong Yue’s body and rushed to the high platform. He anxiously waved his hand in front of Xu Lingqing.

“Awoo… awoo…”

Xu Lingqing didn’t understand what he meant, but the small beast on her shoulder frowned and cried out.

“Wah, wah~”

“Awoo, awoo, awoo!”

“Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah…”

Xu Lingqing’s eyes flickered, and her face was full of confusion.

Just then, Lin Jintian miraculously stood up. Except for the bloodstains on his clothes, the bloody hole had healed.

He clutched his chest and looked at the black ashes in front of him in astonishment.

“Didn’t I already die?”

Xu Lingqing’s beautiful eyes blinked as she looked at the sky. “It was Senior who saved your life.”

“Thank you!”

Lin Jintian trembled slightly, looked around at the many soldiers beside him, and shouted in a deep voice.

“Warriors of Anjin City, this is the moment of our life and death. I ask the young men to fight with their blood and let the women, the old, and the young evacuate first.”

“All soldiers of Anjin City, listen to my order. We will never retreat half a step until our blood is spilled on the battlefield. Follow me out of the city to meet the enemy and kill them!”
