The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 94: Pursuit and Killing
Before the soldiers on the city wall could react, Li Jingxiao flashed and jumped off the wall.

Just one step outside the city is more than twenty meters away.

In just a moment, Li Jingxiao's figure turned into a small dot and disappeared from the sight of thousands of people on the city wall.

The news soon reached the ears of the emperor and the emperor emeritus again.

Now the father and son were a little uneasy.

No matter how powerful Li Jingxiao was before, it always felt that as long as there were enough soldiers to surround and kill him, he would be exhausted to death.

But now he has revealed such a powerful Taoist magic of movement.

If they can’t defeat your army, can’t they just run away?

Especially his method of flying onto the city wall means that no city wall can stop him in the future.

If this were an assassination, it would make me shudder just thinking about it.

But wherever there is a downside, there is also a good side.

If Li Jingxiao went to the enemy city to cause trouble, whether it was assassinating enemy generals or destroying water sources.

Or if they burned the food supplies in the city, then one person would be against an entire army.

From now on, the few big cities on the grassland will no longer be difficult for the Great Zhou to conquer.

If the former capital of the Yuan Dynasty is captured, it will be an unprecedented achievement in expanding the territory.

It will be recorded in great detail in history books.

Therefore, the retired emperor and his son were both wary of Li Jingxiao at this time, and they also wanted to give him an official position and promise him a promotion.

I just hope that this kid will be loyal to Da Zhou and them father and son.

Li Jingxiao didn't think so much about it. In his mind, all foreign enemies deserved to die.

This mentality is more or less influenced by the previous life, and is somewhat different from that of the dignitaries of the Great Zhou.

Many civil and military officials in the court actually don't care who sits on the throne.

As vested interests, they only care about the interests of themselves and their families.

After leaving the city, Li Jingxiao ran at full speed to chase the stars and catch the moon. In just half an hour, he ran seventy or eighty miles.

He landed on a hill, frowned and thought carefully for a long time, but he really couldn't figure out where the assassin would hide after leaving the city.

The only way is to use the crude method, looking around for horse hoof prints or footprints of a large number of people.

Before I knew it, I had arrived near the Ming Tombs of my previous life.

The imperial tomb of the Great Zhou is actually not far from here.

The Great Zhou was a new dynasty that rose to power after the Tatars captured the capital during the Battle of Tumu.

Therefore, among the Ming Dynasty imperial tombs at this time, there were actually only three emperors buried in the Thirteen Tombs.

Thinking of this, Li Jingxiao suddenly had an idea.
He leaped forward, flew over 20 meters, and landed on a tree to gain leverage.

In just five or six minutes, it landed on the gate tower of Jingling.

Sure enough, I saw many muddy horse hoof prints on the shrine road.

Li Jingxiao smiled. When the Great Zhou was first established, soldiers were sent to guard the imperial tombs of the previous dynasty.

But a hundred years have passed, and the three imperial tombs have long been abandoned. The eunuchs who were stationed here at that time have also become old and passed away.

At this time, the camp was covered with weeds. Not to mention human figures, even the low houses provided for soldiers and eunuchs to live in had been demolished and taken home.

Speaking of which, Zhu Zhanji's Jingling Mausoleum is the smallest among all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

After many years, it has been badly abandoned and is indeed an excellent hiding place.

Walking along the sacred path and passing through the Xian'en Gate, I saw several people suddenly stand up on the Fangchengming Tower.

He shouted "Release" and then drew the bow and shot the arrow at himself.

Li Jingxiao could tell it was definitely Goryeo as soon as he heard it.

He dodged a few times, not only easily avoiding the long arrow, but also appearing on the top of the Ming Building.

He slapped one person with his palm.

The man only had time to block with the longbow in his hand, but he didn't expect that Li Jingxiao's palm would easily break the ox-horn bow and hit the opponent's chest.

The cotton palm technique may not be well-known, but its attack is invisible and its force can penetrate the internal organs.

Just a gentle tap can hurt someone's heart from a distance.

But Li Jingxiao was determined to break the ox horn bow with this palm.

The man who was fighting flew several meters away, hit the wall of Minglou, and fell to the ground covered in mud.

Needless to say, this palm strike directly broke all the bones in the man's body.

Li Jingxiao did this because he had realized that the person who assassinated Cui's daughter last night was a Korean, not a Tatar.

But Li Jingxiao has always disliked and even hated traitors.

Secondly, he was not fond of Koreans in his previous life.

Now that I've encountered this, of course there's some sense of venting my anger.

Several archers were already frightened by Li Jingxiao's ghostly movement speed.

Now seeing him beat the man into mud with one palm, the hands holding the bow and arrow began to tremble.

Li Jingxiao would not give these people a chance to fight back. His body moved, appearing and disappearing, and he struck each of them with a palm.

Kill all three archers immediately, leaving only about 30 people alive, including the one who just shouted "Release".

Although he was still alive, Li Jingxiao's palm strike easily broke the tendons in his hands and feet.

He reached out again and removed the man's jaw, then picked up a longbow.

I tried to draw the bow, and it turned out to be a strong bow of 2 stones.

It seems that this group of people are indeed elite, otherwise they would not have been able to kill or injure more than a dozen soldiers from the Front Army Governor's Office and escape unscathed even after being ambushed last night.

As for how to escape from the city overnight, one can either use tools to climb up the city wall.

Or they have an insider in the capital who helps them leave the city.

Li Jingxiao carried his quiver on his back, jumped off the wall of Minglou, and a sharp arrow shot towards him.

Master.

If Li Jingxiao hadn't been good at martial arts, he would have definitely been hit by this arrow in mid-air.

He used the longbow in his hand to block the long arrows that were attacking him, and looked in the direction where the long arrows were flying.

I saw a pretty woman standing on a big tree in the mausoleum, drawing her bow and shooting arrows again.

The first arrow was useless to him, so the second arrow naturally couldn't hurt Li Jingxiao either.

However, when he blocked the arrow again and was about to draw his bow to fight back.

Seven or eight shouts rang out.

A group of Koreans holding long swords suddenly rushed out and attacked.

Li Jingxiao sneered, dodged another arrow, and dodged to the side towards a Korean who had rushed towards him.

He dodged the long knife and slapped the man on the back with his palm.

With a snap, the man's lumbar vertebrae were broken and he fell limply to the ground.

He casually pulled out a long arrow from the quiver and threw it at the Korean man two meters away from him.

The long arrow pierced the man's chest like a bullet.

He kicked the man five or six meters away, then turned around to avoid a knife attack, drew out a long arrow, and threw it at a man a few meters away.

He casually slapped the back of the head of the Korean man who had just chopped him.

The man's head exploded.

He dodged and appeared in front of two Koreans five or six meters away. With a flick of his finger, he deflected the long sword that was slashing down from one man, and seized the opportunity to grab the other man's arm and twist it hard.

He easily crushed the man's wrist and twisted his arm.

He took advantage of the situation and kicked the man in the knee, deforming his entire leg. The pain was so severe that he couldn't even hold the knife.

Li Jingxiao reached out and grabbed the fallen long knife, and with a slash of the blade, he cut off the man's neck.

He turned around and swung the knife again, piercing the chest of the Korean man who had just been hit by the knife and had just managed to stabilize his body.

In just five or six breaths, five elite warriors died.

The remaining two people were so scared that their legs were weak.

Even the woman standing on the tree was so frightened that she seemed to have lost all her strength.

Li Jingxiao was no longer in a hurry to kill people.

He shook off the blood on the long knife in his hand, stood up straight, looked down at the two men and said, "Kneel down and surrender. I won't ask you to do it again."

The two Koreans hesitated for a few seconds, and one of them didn't want to die in the end. Besides, Li Jingxiao was so young, and he was wearing a first-grade bullfighting robe.

His skills are as ghostly as a ghost, and he must be a top noble in the Zhou Dynasty.

He threw the long sword in his hand to the ground and bowed politely to Li Jingxiao.

The other man was furious and started cursing while waving the knife in his hand.

Li Jingxiao would not tolerate the Koreans. He flashed and appeared next to this man.

He reached out and grabbed the man's shoulder blade.

With a burst of palm power, he actually broke the man's shoulder blade with a snap.

Then he stretched out his foot and kicked the man's knee twice, and there were two more cracking sounds.

He knocked the surrendered man unconscious with one last palm strike, and then he turned his attention to the Korean woman in the tree.

At this moment, the female archer's only thought was to escape.

Flee far away.

Never set foot on the territory of the Great Zhou.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried to escape, Li Jingxiao appeared in front of her in just a moment.

His right hand was as fast as lightning, grabbing the woman's neck and lifting her up.

Just as he was about to twist the woman's neck, he suddenly had an idea.

Otherwise, try women other than the Twelve Beauties of Jinling, the Twelve Pairs of Beauties, and the Twelve Pairs of Beauties again, can that also help you gain more experience?

Just as he was thinking about it, the woman who was lifted up by his erection, endured the pain and stammered.

"I, I am Quan Zhili, the daughter of the Governor of the Western Sea Province of Goryeo. You, you cannot kill me."

Li Jingxiao frowned after hearing this. The chiefs of the various "dao" in Goryeo were originally called Jiedushi.

Later it was called "Anchashi". To put it simply, it was a system of nine grades and eighteen levels of officials created based on the official system of the Tang and Song dynasties.

Like the official positions in the Ming Dynasty of the Celestial Empire, Goryeo used casual officials, official positions, and honorary officials at the same time, and the official positions and power positions were very confusing.

Not to mention that Goryeo also borrowed the official system of the Song Dynasty, which made the power and position system even more chaotic.

The Censor of the West Sea Road in Goryeo was a local official, just like the head of a prefecture in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Considering the chaotic party struggles in the late Goryeo period, this man was equivalent to the military governor of the late Tang Dynasty, a veritable local tyrant.

No wonder he dared to send people to hunt down Cui's daughter all the way, and finally assassinated her even after knowing that Cui had entered the capital.

However, in Li Jingxiao's eyes, the entire Goryeo was just a vassal state.

Saikaido is probably only about the size of one or two counties on Zhou Island, so it's not something that would be taken seriously.

He reached out and grabbed the deerskin belt around Quan Zhili's waist and pulled it off.

But thinking that this was the imperial mausoleum, Li Jingxiao felt no guilt in killing people.

But it doesn't feel good to have fun here.

Anyway, there is a tent prepared earlier in the inventory.

After taking Quan Zhili out of the imperial mausoleum, they took some time to set up the tent.

At first, the woman was reluctant to spar with Li Jingxiao. She always felt that she had preserved her innocence for more than ten years, and it would be a disgrace to her ancestors if it was taken away by the people of Da Zhou.

Li Jingxiao tried to persuade her again and again, and finally had to use some tricks to force Quan Zhili to cooperate.

After the two fought for more than ten rounds, the woman actually began to fight back.

For a while, the two fought back and forth, with no winner.

An hour later, Li Jingxiao walked out of the tent and breathed a sigh of relief with joy, but felt a little regretful in his heart.

After a great battle, he felt refreshed both physically and mentally, but the result was just as he had expected.

It's just like doing what women outside the Red Mansion love to do, and the enjoyment is the same, but there's no experience to draw on.

Li Jingxiao did not kill Quan Zhili to silence her. In order to save her life, this woman was willing to reveal the insider of the Da Zhou who cooperated with their assassination last night.

Even her own father was betrayed.

He revealed all the officials in the Goryeo court who colluded with the Tatars.

As for Quan Zhili's statement that her father was only forced to secretly defect to the Great Zhou, although Li Jingxiao despised her in his heart, he knew that he could give it a try.

With this list and Quan Zhili as a witness, Da Zhou had enough reason to reprimand Gao Li.

And there will inevitably be a bloody storm in Goryeo.

Eliminating the pro-Tatar Goryeo forces would naturally be a good thing for the Great Zhou.

After the beginning of spring next year, the ice and snow on the grassland will melt, which will take about three months.

This gave Goryeo enough time to prepare for the Tatar invasion.

So from the overall situation, Li Jingxiao knew that he could not kill Quan Zhili.

By the way, showing your lustful shortcomings is also good for yourself.

Not long after, Quan Zhili, with a slightly flushed face and disheveled clothes, walked out of the tent with a strange gait.

Seeing the Chinese man who took her virginity, she naturally felt a lot of hatred in her heart.

But when she thought of this man's god-like strength and the happiness he had just brought her, the hatred she felt gradually faded and turned into admiration.

This is a typical admiration for the strong.

From ancient times to the present, Goryeo has been trapped in a cycle of surrendering to the Celestial Empire, being beaten, and then becoming obedient again.

He would jump out to cause trouble in troubled times, but when the Celestial Empire was at its peak, he was as obedient as a son.

Not only were they severely sinicized, but even the people in the court, from top to bottom, spontaneously felt that the Celestial Empire was the superior country and they were just foreign nations.

Quan Zhili blushed as she looked at Li Jingxiao for a moment, then heard Li Jingxiao say without turning back, "I'll give you one stick of incense. Bring all the surviving Goryeo warriors on horseback, and we'll return to the capital."

Quan Zhili subconsciously said "hmm", and saw a small porcelain bottle thrown at her.

"It contains Sanhua Yulu Pills. Take one and any injury will be healed. Hurry up, I don't have time to waste with you."

Quan Zhili hesitated for a few seconds, and finally poured out a pill and put it into her mouth.

Unexpectedly, all the injuries on my body recovered in a short period of time.

He couldn't help but look at Li Jingxiao with shining eyes.

Unfortunately, Li Jingxiao didn't even look at her, which made Quan Zhili angry and a little inferior.

He secretly thought that it was quite normal for this young official from the Celestial Empire to look down on the daughter of an official from a vassal state.

Then he hurriedly shook the small porcelain bottle in his hand, but unfortunately there was only the pill in the bottle.

When he looked at Li Jingxiao again, his eyes were full of resentment.
