Chapter 36 Yin Muhua's Death
The intense pain caused Yin Muhua's body to tremble and freeze for a moment.
Lin Qing immediately seized this fleeting opportunity, and with a sudden swift movement, his right leg lashed out like a whip, creating a gust of wind and striking Yin Muhua's abdominal wound.
Crack!
Yin Muhua let out a muffled groan, her body flying backward and crashing into a wall. The intense pain almost made her suffocate.
A sudden surge of fear welled up within her. She couldn't understand how an ordinary constable of the Soul Suppressing Division, a boy who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, could possess such strength. Even ordinary constables of the Soul Suppressing Division were only at this level.
A thought flashed through her mind. She rolled over and, enduring the excruciating pain, lightly touched the wall with her toes and leaped onto the top, intending to climb over and escape.
Lin Qing had anticipated this, so he flew over and flicked his wrist, sending three darts flying, which struck Yin Muhua's right leg.
Just now, his whip kick landed squarely on her abdominal wound, further aggravating Yin Muhua's injuries. It was visible to the naked eye that her speed had slowed down, which also caused her to be unable to dodge the spear this time.
puff!
With the sound of the spear piercing flesh, Yin Muhua suddenly lost his balance, abruptly fell off the wall, and collapsed to the ground.
Lin Qing then used his lightness skill to catch up, suddenly drew his sword, and slashed out with it.
The blade flashed like a shadow, tracing an arc. Yin Muhua's mouth gaped open, his face filled with terror. Before he could utter a sound, the blade had already sliced across his neck, blood gushing out, and his body was severed from his head.
Yin Muhua is dead!
Lin Qing's tense body suddenly relaxed. Even though Yin Muhua was seriously injured, he dared not relax in the slightest. After all, Yin Muhua was a ruthless person who could directly fight Cheng Yannian, and was at least a master of the Transformation Realm.
He took a deep breath, and seeing that no one was around, he quickly took away Yin Muhua's belongings. He then took out the corpse-dissolving water provided by the Soul Suppressing Division from his pocket and poured it on Yin Muhua's corpse.
In a short while, his body turned into a pool of sewage. At the same time, in the Record of Rebirth, Yin Muhua's progress in the salvation of souls reached 100%. The trivial skills he had left behind before his death were poured into Lin Qing's mind, and many scenes flashed before his eyes like a fleeting glimpse.
Lin Qing lit a tinderbox and threw it into the puddle of sewage. With a bang, a ball of flame rose up, and in an instant, the puddle of sewage turned to ashes.
Thus, no one knew that Yin Muhua had died at his hands.
Although carrying Yin Muhua's head would allow him to claim a large reward from the government, it would also expose his strength.
Lin Qing felt that the loss was not worth it. Even without this sum of money, he had the Record of Rebirth, and as long as he didn't die, he would definitely become a top expert in the future.
After doing all this, Lin Qing slipped into a nearby woodshed to quietly process this fragmented memory.
...
the other side.
Cheng Yannian drew his sword and sped north, passing through several courtyards, but he didn't even see a trace of Yin Muhua.
He felt quite regretful; if he let Yin Muhua go again, he didn't know when he would get another chance.
Just then, he heard a series of hurried footsteps, and a double wooden door in front of him was suddenly kicked open. A dozen or so men in black rushed in, the leader of whom was the tallest and strongest, half a person taller than Cheng Yannian.
"Go back to your hometown and be reborn in the Pure Land! Commander Cheng, why don't you join my Beagle Cult?" the man said in a deep voice.
Cheng Yannian narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a fierce aura rushing towards him.
"Han Qi, was you sent by that old ghost from the Han family?"
"Cheng Yannian, you do have a discerning eye. My Han family is large and powerful, why should we force you in every way? If you are willing to bow your head and join forces, I will let you go today, and we can make money peacefully in the future," Han Qi said coldly.
He did not deny it because his physique was too prominent.
Besides, when the fight starts, Cheng Yannian will be able to easily determine his identity through his martial arts moves, so there's no point in denying it.
Therefore, since he chose to show himself, he had no intention of saving Cheng Yannian's life; only the dead are the safest.
"Heaven's justice is clear: your Han family has colluded with the Bai'er Cult, controlling all industries in the county and causing chaos among the people. Even if I, Cheng Yannian, die, I will never associate with you!" Cheng Yannian's words were resolute.
"Fool! Cheng Yannian, the world is corrupt. If you don't eat people, others will eat you. Don't you understand this basic principle? But it doesn't matter. From today onwards, the Chief Commander of the Soul Suppression Division should be replaced."
As Han Qi spoke, he drew a large longsword from behind him, and the twelve assassins behind him also drew their swords.
Their eyes were bloodshot, their breaths were heavy and labored, and they possessed inexhaustible strength as well as a boiling murderous intent.
"kill!"
Han Qi gave a low shout, drew his sword and charged straight at Lin Qing, with the twelve assassins following closely behind.
Cheng Yannian also drew his sword and stepped forward. In an instant, the two groups of people collided. The flashing of swords and the clash of metal echoed between heaven and earth.
...
"What a formidable family, the Han!"
In the woodshed.
Lin Qing opened his eyes and finally finished digesting all of Yin Muhua's memories from his previous life.
He obtained a lot of crucial information about the Han family and the Yin Yuan Sect.
First, let's talk about the Yin Yuan Sect, which is the largest heretical sect in Ishikawa Prefecture and a branch of the Bai'e Sect in Shu. It worships the evil spirit Hong Xiuniang.
Its followers can receive the blessing of the Red Embroidery Maiden by offering daily prayers, chanting, and sacrifices.
The so-called blessing is actually the absorption of evil spirits into one's soul. One can obtain evil magic by doing so, but one needs to continuously improve one's martial arts level and strengthen one's blood and qi to suppress evil spirits. Otherwise, once one is controlled by evil spirits, one will immediately go crazy and wreak havoc on the area.
Yin Muhua was a steward within the Yin Yuan Sect, but due to his advanced age and declining health, he was no longer highly regarded.
She came to Jiangyin County because her son had accidentally lost the Buddha statue there while being chased. Out of selfishness, she did not report it to the sect, but instead gathered a group of subordinates to search for it.
Secondly, there is the Han family, who also secretly colluded with the Yin Yuan Sect.
Han Shantong kept a wooden statue of Hongxiu Niang in his home, often bought young boys and girls to offer as sacrifices, and secretly manufactured private drugs and banned substances. In short, he committed many evils.
"No wonder children keep going missing outside the city; it seems the Han family has played a significant role behind the scenes."
Lin Qing whispered to himself that as long as the Han family remained in power, the people of Jiangyin County would never be able to escape their suffering.
However, being outnumbered and outmatched, even if he knew these things, there was nothing he could do.
Report it to the government office? What could a lowly constable like him do even if he did?
He didn't believe that no one had discovered the Han family's problems all these years. It was just that the Han family was so powerful that even if they found out, they couldn't solve the problem.
Lin Qing shook his head, deciding to stop thinking about it and quickly counted his gains from the trip.
Three hundred-tael silver notes, and various other miscellaneous silver coins, totaling three hundred and twenty-nine taels.
Three bottles of Nourishing Life Pills, each containing 6 pills, each weighing 1 tael, which can nourish qi and blood; one bottle of Bone Strengthening Pills, containing 4 pills, each weighing 3 taels, which can strengthen bones and build a strong physique; one Tendon-Changing Pill, worth 10 taels, which can stretch muscles and increase strength; and one Nine-Turn Spring Rejuvenation Pill, a precious medicine for healing injuries, which can cure internal organ injuries. The total price is 70 to 100 taels.
Finally, there was a row of thirteen golden needles, called the Bone-Penetrating Golden Needles. The needles glowed with a dark green light and carried a deadly poison.
