The First Sage of Military Strategists

Chapter 63 The Murder of Luo Sheng (Part 2)

suddenly.

Luo Sheng paused, his eyes narrowed, and he stared at a figure that appeared at the alley entrance ahead.

"These people are up to no good! Are they Qi Chong's men?" Luo Sheng drew his sword, the blade pointing diagonally, and questioned in a deep voice.

Han Qing had already changed into a black outfit, having made preparations before setting off.

At that moment, upon hearing Luo Sheng's question, he sneered inwardly, then suddenly let out a deafening roar: "The one who killed Luo Sheng is the Yin-Yang Scholar!"

With a clang, Han Qing drew his sword, his body enveloped in a cyan-gold light, and charged toward Luo Sheng at an extremely fast speed.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, he must go all out this time and strive for a swift victory.

In the instant he rushed out, he not only activated the Jade Void Skill at full power, but also urged the Ceasefire Sutra.

That surge of magical power coursed through every part of his body, completely taking control of every muscle and every inch of skin, greatly increasing Han Qing's combat strength.

That wasn't all. This surge of magical energy quickly transformed into wisps of malevolent energy, which, on one hand, flowed into Han Qing's blood, greatly enhancing his physical abilities, and on the other hand, flowed into the blade in his hand, casting a dark shadow over the blade and transforming it into a malevolent blade.

All of this may seem complicated, but it all happened in the blink of an eye. Han Qing had already raised his combat power to its peak.

Luo Sheng's face twitched a few times after hearing Han Qing call out the words "Yin Yang Scholar".

He thought to himself that he had seen the Yin-Yang Scholar before, and his physique was definitely not like that.

When he saw the cyan-gold light shimmering on Han Qing's body, he suddenly realized what was going on.

"So it was you, Han Qing. How dare you! Although you can defeat Yang Wu in a sparring match, your strength is far inferior to mine. Moreover, in a life-or-death battle, courage is the most important thing! Let's see how much courage you have and how much combat power you can unleash!" Luo Sheng sneered.

As the saying goes, "When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave shall prevail." In a life-or-death struggle, when the difference in hard power is not significant, whoever has more courage and can better utilize all their knowledge will achieve the final victory.

Luo Sheng is very confident in this regard.

He felt that he had been working in the government for more than 20 years, had killed many people, and had seen countless corpses. How could he lose to a teenager?

However, when Han Qing actually rushed in front of him, Luo Sheng's expression became serious, and he even felt a sense of shock.

He saw the overwhelming killing intent in Han Qing's eyes, and felt a surging aura rushing towards him, as if the one charging towards him was not a person, but a jackal or a ferocious beast.

"How can this kid have such a strong aura? Is he a madman?"

A thought flashed through Luo Sheng's mind, but his hands kept moving.

The two men drew their knives almost simultaneously.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

The air was filled with the glint of blades and the shadows of their blades swirling around. In the blink of an eye, the two blades clashed more than ten times.

"Excellent swordsmanship!" Luo Sheng was startled.

He possessed the Perfect Hundred-Crack Blade, yet he unexpectedly found himself at a slight disadvantage in a swordsmanship contest.

"What a fine knife!" Han Qing exclaimed inwardly.

His knife was imbued with a murderous aura, making it incredibly sharp and unstoppable. Ordinary knives simply couldn't withstand it, but Luo Sheng's knife managed to withstand it, which meant it must be a fine knife.

While exchanging sword techniques, the two were also testing their agility, almost spinning around each other as they moved rapidly.

Although Luo Sheng was a realm higher than him, Han Qing was a Refiner of the Spirit and possessed several martial arts techniques that broke through limits. In terms of combat strength, Han Qing was far superior to Luo Sheng.

In just a few breaths, Luo Sheng's swordsmanship became chaotic, and great fear appeared in his eyes, vaguely sensing that he was no match for him.

"Wait! Han Qing, retreat immediately! If you kill me, the Luo family will not let you off!" Luo Sheng threatened loudly.

Han Qing remained unmoved. He had only one goal today: to kill Luo Sheng! He wouldn't stop even if the Heavenly King himself came!
"That's the one strike!"

The next moment, Han Qing's eyes lit up, and he keenly grasped the flaw in Luo Sheng's swordsmanship.

He suddenly raised his sword and slashed forward. A flash of cold light appeared, and Luo Sheng's arm fell to the ground, still clutching the long sword in his hand. "Ah!"

Luo Sheng grabbed the arm and stumbled backward, his steps faltering and falling, letting out a shrill scream.

"No, it was Han who killed me..."

Luo Sheng roared, but before he could finish speaking, Han Qing had already slashed out with his sword.

A gleaming blade flashed, a head fell to the ground, and blood shot into the sky.

Luo Sheng fell forward to the ground, right in front of Han Qing.

Han Qing felt a surge of exhilaration. After enduring for so long, the villain was finally dead. In short, it was awesome!

He picked up Luo Sheng's knife, then searched the corpse for a while, finding several silver notes and a key.

Then Han Qing kicked Luo Sheng's corpse away in mid-air, took another step forward, and struck out with a palm, unleashing a burst of power that directly shattered Luo Sheng's corpse in mid-air.

This heavy snowfall will cover up all traces of the battle, and the fragments of the bodies will be completely frozen.

He glanced around and found the surrounding houses quiet.

After he called out the name "Yin Yang Scholar," normal people dared not go out.

However, it's fine for him to go out; even if someone suspects him, they can't convict him without any evidence.

Moreover, if he passes the guards' test in a few days, the Luo family will have to think twice before investigating.

"There must be a lot of good stuff in Luo Sheng's house," Han Qingxin thought.

He wasn't in a hurry to leave. After all, the Luo family mansion was nearby, and it would be a shame not to plunder it.

A moment.

He used his lightness skill to leap over the wall and land in Luo Sheng's private residence. At the same time, the Seven Killings Stele appeared in his mind, and he chose to absorb Luo Sheng's soul light.

He pressed himself against the wall, hidden in the darkness and shadows, quietly observing these fragmented memories.

After about ten breaths, the image disappeared and the sound vanished.

Han Qing opened her eyes, a clear goal in her mind.

From these fragments of memory, he saw a hidden room behind the bookshelves in Luo Sheng's room, containing a wooden box filled with treasures he had collected over the years.

Originally, Luo Sheng's house was very large and winding, and he was worried about where to start, but now he suddenly had a clear direction.

So, following his memory, he made his way to Luo Sheng's room under the cover of night.

Along the way, he encountered two guards on night patrol, but they did not notice him. Han Qing was too lazy to take action, so as not to alert others.

After the two guards left, Han Qing quickly arrived at the entrance of Luo Sheng's residence, slipped inside, and found it pitch black. However, with the blessing of his magical powers, his vision was sharp, and he could see even at night.

His gaze swept across the room and he noticed the bookshelf directly opposite him.

"That's it!"

He stepped forward and slowly moved the third bookshelf on the left, revealing a passageway leading to an inner room.

Han Qing went inside and saw a wooden box on a table in the center. It was ornately decorated with many gems and jades, and had a thick copper lock on it.

Han Qing used the key he had taken from Luo Sheng to open the copper lock, and saw that the box contained a lot of silver, as well as many agates, jade pendants, and pills.

One of the pale purple beads immediately caught Han Qing's attention.

He reached out and grasped the bead, seeing arcs of lightning flickering within it, giving him a tingling, numb sensation.

"This is... Thunderstorm Heavenly Bead!" Han Qing was shocked.
