Skip this! Just tell me who to kill!

Qinghua County is much more lively today than it used to be.

The mansions of wealthy men and officials, where people used to speak quietly and not be disturbed when passing by, suddenly became a noisy scene today.

"Hey! How dare you step out the door with your left foot first? Die!"

"A mere NPC dares to ambush me? Thornmail!"

"Escape? Let's see where you run to! Strike by lightning!"

After Qin Muyuan wiped out the entire family of the fourth official, the county soldiers who had been following him finally caught up with him.

When the county constable, who was led by a county soldier, saw Qin Muyuan covered in blood as he came out of an official's house, he was filled with rage!

Because if Qin Muyuan kills someone in Qinghua County, he will lose his position as county magistrate!

If the imperial court were to blame him, not only would his hat be removed, but even the thing around his neck would have to be cut off as a sign of remorse!

"Stop! You murderer!"

The county constable roared and led a group of county soldiers forward.

However, Qin Muyuan acted even faster than them.

Qin Muyuan moved with ghostly speed, like a shadow, and vanished abruptly from the official's house in a flash.

The county constable only felt a gentle breeze, and Qin Muyuan, who was originally ten feet away, was already in front of him.

The county constable was immediately alarmed and was about to draw his sword: "You..."

"That's strange." Qin Muyuan stood in front of the county constable and raised an arm, placing it on the hilt of the constable's sword.

The county constable suddenly felt an immense force pressing down on the hilt of his sword, making it impossible for him to pull the blade out of his waist even an inch, no matter how hard he tried.

More importantly, while it was not clear from a distance, the county constable could now clearly sense the terrifying aura emanating from Qin Muyuan as he stood before him!

The aura of blood and fire, like that of a demon god descending, instantly calmed the county magistrate's furious emotions.

He even felt like a sheep being led into the tiger's den, and couldn't muster even a thought of drawing his sword to slash Qin Muyuan.

"Knowing I've killed so many people, you county garrison soldiers still dare to chase me?" Qin Muyuan shook his head and asked calmly.

"Who gave you such courage?"

"You...you should surrender now!" Upon hearing Qin Muyuan's words, the county magistrate, who had been intimidated by Qin Muyuan's sudden approach, suddenly felt confident again.

In his view, what does it mean that Qin Muyuan approached him but did not kill him with his sword?

This shows that he was wary of his official position!

You must understand that killing an official is tantamount to rebellion!

Now, under the control of the Huoyun Kingdom's court, the word "rebellion" is a very serious label.

No one would dare to wear this hat, not even the vicious and ruthless man in front of them who had killed countless people!

Thinking of this, the county constable suddenly felt confident, and his previously timid expression turned into a furious rebuke:

"Hey! You thug, surrender now, or else—"

Swish!

Before he could finish speaking, a cold, sharp glint flashed into the county magistrate's eyes.

The next second, a blood-stained head flew up, bidding farewell to its body.

"This NPC design is subpar... or maybe not?"

Qin Muyuan held the pure bone nail in his hand, thinking to himself.

He had been wondering why the county constable, upon seeing him standing in front of him, not only didn't panic but even suddenly seemed confident—this was completely illogical.

However, Qin Muyuan then thought that this county magistrate was not a smart person to begin with, so wasn't it normal for him to have such contradictory and incompetent behavior?

After all, Qin Muyuan had killed at least seven or eight martial artists, if not double digits, as he had fought his way from one end of the street to the other.

This county constable isn't even a third-rate martial artist, yet he dared to chase after me all the way. What else could he be but mentally unstable?

From the perspective of maintaining a consistent NPC personality and intelligence, the design of this county lieutenant is actually not a big problem.

"My reputation is still too low; even a random NPC would dare to hunt me down..."

Qin Muyuan could understand that as the county constable, if he did not issue a warrant for the arrest of this thug who had killed people in the county, he would lose his job and even his head for his incompetence.

However... one was decapitated afterward, while the other was killed by Qin Muyuan right now.

This county constable actually chose the latter?

This undoubtedly made Qin Muyuan's mood drop by several points: in the eyes of the county magistrate, he was actually a soft persimmon that could be easily manipulated!

Otherwise, the county constable would never choose the latter, but rather the former, since the former would allow him to survive for a while longer.

Listen.

Qin Muyuan looked at the county soldiers who were frozen in place, unsure whether to flee or fight back, and said:

"Did you see me kill your county constable?"

"No, no—"

Swish!

A flash of sword light, and another head flew off.

"Yes! Yes! I saw it!"

The other county soldiers nodded hurriedly and shouted in unison.

"Very good." Qin Muyuan said with satisfaction:

"Now, spread the news that I killed your county magistrate throughout Qinghua County."

"Remember, I want all the people of Qinghua County to know this news. And to know that the person who killed the county magistrate is Qin Muyuan of the Fenglingyueying Sect."

"Did you hear me?!"

"I heard it! I heard it!"

The soldiers from the county were completely baffled by Qin Muyuan's actions, but at this moment they had no intention of finding out; they only wanted to escape from this formidable villain as quickly as possible.

"Very good." Qin Muyuan patted the county soldier at the front with his blood-stained hand and said:

"Now, spread the word."

"If I find out that there isn't a single person in the county who doesn't know my name, Qin Muyuan, and my deeds..."

Under Qin Muyuan's threat, all the county soldiers quickly scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions.

Among them, the county soldier who had been patted on the shoulder by Qin Muyuan started scrambling and shouting:

"The county magistrate has been murdered! The assassin is the dashing and charming Qin Muyuan of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect!"

"The county magistrate has been murdered! The assassin is the dashing and charming Qin Muyuan of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect!!!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Muyuan stroked his chin and said:

"This way, my fame should spread."

He patted Wangcai's wolf head and continued forward following the arrow in his field of vision.

After killing several officials and their entire families, only three arrows remained in his field of vision.

This means that as long as these three families in Qinghua County are killed, the first phase of the mission will be completed.

"Um?"

As Qin Muyuan followed the arrows, he noticed that the three arrows in his field of vision suddenly seemed to be converging.

"All three families have gathered together? Could it be that they've hired some martial arts masters to deal with me?"

Thinking of this, Qin Muyuan grinned.

Perfect timing, I'm getting a bit tired of killing these weak monsters and NPCs.

If these last three households could unite and find a powerful elite monster to deal with him, then he could finally change his taste in killing.
