Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 306 Another Battle of Wits

There's just one more thing I'd like to ask for their permission to do.

"Master Qing, can you continue to guide me in slaying demons and monsters?"

She has a strong desire to uphold justice, and the sword in her hand is meant to cut down injustice in the world.

Xiao Qing had a bad feeling; it seemed that human cubs of this age shouldn't be allowed to appear in battle.

Li Yingqi possesses an innate talent and wisdom, and his ability to learn quickly is not limited to swordsmanship. If he were willing to put in the effort, he would also be quite adept at interpersonal relationships.

He spoke instinctively:
"Master is incredibly powerful, possesses divine swordsmanship, and has many magical treasures. He must be an extremely powerful figure."

"With your protection, I should be safe as long as I am just going to broaden my horizons."

After that came a lot of praise and trust for the master.

It should be emphasized here that Xiaoqing is a demon, and many of the concepts she has acquired later in life have not yet become ironclad rules.

Didn't we do that today, taking the little girl with us to infiltrate the enemy's lair?

So, under such pressure, their attitude softened somewhat, and they could only use a three-point agreement to restrain the girl.

"Ahem, we are about to face a fierce counterattack from the enemy. Stay far away and don't get close."

Li Yingqi nodded seriously, saying they would talk about it when the time came.

Yes, the master and apprentice are really compatible in this kind of thing; they are both opinionated.

Next, she went back to the kitchen to cook dinner, her hand still steady as she wielded the knife.

Most children would panic when facing an enemy, but she was Li Yingqi.

When practicing swordsmanship at night, the Yue Maiden Sword's killing intent became much stronger, and it acquired some of the Yue Maiden's style.

Day two.

The two female warriors, one big and one small, continued to wander outside, and sure enough, they encountered enemies again.

The other party led the captured child through the alley, seemingly unconcerned about the threat from the Xin'an County man.

Even when walking on the rooftops, it was brightly lit, for fear of being lost.

The two followed him to the outside of a house, and Li Yingqi looked at his master.

"Master, this must be a trap."

Master Qing nodded, but did not attack with the same domineering style as yesterday.

"The Art of War says: Therefore, the skillful strategist does not wait for the troops to be deployed; the skillful strategist eliminates problems before they arise; the skillful strategist defeats the enemy before they are invisibly defeated; the best strategist has no one to fight against."

Li Yingqi tilted his head; this statement was a bit beyond the scope of his comprehension.

"withdraw."

I understand.

The military strategist took Li Yingqi and turned to flee, deliberately making some noise.

Seeing the intruders retreat, the people inside couldn't sit still any longer. Two bald men smashed through the wall and rushed out to give chase, followed by more than a dozen military experts.

As expected, the prefect did indeed abide by the rules of being a bad person: he was extremely vengeful and treacherous.

Xiaoqing sneered as she wandered along the retreat route she had scouted out beforehand.

Only a fool would fight so many people. Although those two monks haven't entered the Dao, their magical artifacts are strange; they might be plotting something bad.

The experience of being defeated by Judge Lu with a single move of his Judge's Pen is still fresh in my mind. Xu Xuan also warned me to be careful of magical artifacts that I couldn't understand.

They kept a steady pace as they left the city, keeping an eye on what was behind them as they ran.

He only stopped after all the soldiers had fallen behind, and when he saw the monk approaching, he unleashed a bolt of lightning before the monk could say anything.

The vast ocean, with its boundless waters, cannot sustain all things. Amidst the somber thunder, waves of heat and chilling cold alternated, flashing by in an instant.

Even a giant turtle would be severely injured if it ate just one of these things, let alone two monks practicing evil magic.

When the monk saw the lightning, he felt despair. Why bother?
Even if you had such methods, we wouldn't be able to track you down.

Even the shattered white bone artifact in his hand couldn't withstand the attack; his human skin was instantly melted, revealing his true form.

Two enormous, three-zhang-long black-armored centipedes lay on the ground, barely alive, their limbs scattered everywhere. The crystals in the scorching pit were still emitting heat.

"Spare me."

"Hey! You heretics, how dare you beg for mercy!"

Xiaoqing never holds back in battle, so there's only one thing she needs to do right now.

Clang!
Two dazzling sword lights appeared in Li Yingqi's eyes, filled with obsessive longing and madness.

When its demonic power erupted, it was countless times more ferocious than the centipede on the ground. Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, the centipede was pulverized into dust.

Then the two sword lights were retrieved into the bracelet.

"Master, what kind of sword is this!"

Li Yingqi, who was still marveling at the power of the Gui Water Lightning and curious about the appearance of the centipede monster, now only had a desire for the sword left.

She vaguely recognized one of the swords when her master was demonstrating the Yue Maiden Sword Technique.

"The swords that slay kings, Gan Jiang and Mo Xie."

We'll tell the story when we get back; there are more important things to do now.

Xiaoqing then began the next step of her lesson: how to clean up a crime scene.

This is the introductory subject of Baoan Hall, and everyone must master it.

The process of extinguishing the crystals with cold water, burning the blood and corpses, clearing the grass, and chanting scriptures was carried out smoothly and efficiently.

"Remember?"

"remember."

Just then, the dozen or so military experts arrived. What a clever piecemeal tactic! Xiao Qing laughed.

Li Yingqi also drew his short sword and asked to have several to practice with.

Xiaoqing naturally had to fulfill her disciple's request, so she continued to pretend to be a martial arts master, kicking down most of the people with her leg techniques before taking charge.

"Hiss~~~ My swordsmanship has improved again, could it be that I can reverse the Yue Maiden Sword technique?"

Master Qing was somewhat numb. "Your behavior makes someone look really dull," he thought.

Humans are truly terrifying.

After looking at it for a while, he frowned slightly.

Xu Xuan said that the Yue Nu Sword was a divine sword bestowed by heaven, a natural principle, and that killing was just one of the side effects.

“But Yingqi’s bloodlust seems to be innate, which will lead to karmic consequences.”

It's not that I'm prejudiced against killing; the style of Baoan Hall is slightly different from that of the normal cultivation world.

I just feel that this would hinder my spiritual practice, and the losses would outweigh the gains.

Forget it, let Xu Xuan try to persuade him.

After a short while, all the bad guys who had been fighting the little girl were dead, and this act of chivalry was a great success.

In the afternoon, the streets of Shixin County became quiet again.

"This"

"What exactly happened in the county? Maybe we should go and hide in another county."

The appearance of a dozen naked men and several dead men together still created a strong sense of shock.

The people of Xin'an County flew calmly overhead.

"The wickedness of the human heart is far greater than that of demons; keep a close eye on the young children in your home."

"If the treacherous villain dares to make another move, be careful, or you'll lose your head. Don't say I didn't warn you."

The sound echoed throughout the county, causing someone to lose face completely.

The prefect of Xin'an County knocked over a glass cup and kicked over a candlestick, nearly starting a fire.

"Arrogant, too arrogant!"

"They act with impunity, defying all laws and regulations, and treating this prefectural governor as nothing!"

"Is this still Xin'an County? Is this still the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty?"

Jia Ning's eyes were bloodshot; he had never suffered such a loss since birth.

It was bad enough that the Imperial Guards were killed, but two masters were also lost.

Even prolonged impotent rage is futile. The difficulty lies in the inability to openly deploy troops; there's a difference between having your cards up your sleeve and having them up your sleeve.

If they force him, even his sister can't protect him.

In his extreme anger, he actually came up with a plan—a way to both capture the children and eliminate the people of Xin'an County.

"Beggar, come here."

"Xin'an County is going to be flooded."
