Chapter 12: Killing and Arson, Rewarded with a Golden Belt! (Seeking Collection)
With a single slash, heads rolled!
Using the thousand-pound strength from the Bodhimanda Wisdom Technique, coupled with the Ghost Head Blade Technique, there was no way Wei Feng could block this strike.
Blood gushed out from the severed neck, causing Qin Zheng to furrow his brows slightly.
He released his grip, letting go of Wei Feng's corpse, and tossed it to the ground.
Then, he turned around and scanned his surroundings. There were no signs of movement, and the place remained as quiet as if no one was around.
Judging by this, there shouldn't be any ambushes from the Golden Cicada Gang either.
Qin Zheng's heart relaxed, and he quickly withdrew his gaze, lowering himself to search Wei Feng's body, feeling around for a few moments.
Three hundred-tael silver notes, a bag of loose silver coins, and a booklet that was kept close to his body.
Qin Zheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the booklet from Wei Feng, discovering it to be the very martial arts manual he had refined, the Black Demon Palm.
Qin Zheng was delighted and immediately tucked the booklet into his bosom.
Next, he also placed the three hundred-tael silver notes and the bag of loose silver into his bosom.
He then tore off a piece of cloth from Wei Feng's body and used it to wrap up his head.
Normally, killing someone within the city would warrant an investigation and a manhunt by the government office.
But Wei Feng was a remnant of the Golden Cicada Gang, a wanted criminal.
Not only did Qin Zheng not have to worry about being hunted, but he could also take Wei Feng's head to the government office to claim a reward.
One could say that Wei Feng was truly a generous soul.
Not only did he bring silver to the impoverished Qin Zheng, but he also delivered a martial arts manual.
Even this head would bring Qin Zheng a substantial reward.
Qin Zheng smiled and stood up. He went home, grabbed a rag, and wiped the Ghost Head Blade before wrapping it in coarse cloth and carrying it on his back.
He took one last look around the simple earthen house, now with a gaping hole in it.
With this situation, it was definitely uninhabitable.
Now that he had refined the Bodhimanda Wisdom Technique and possessed thousand-pound strength, he no longer feared the threats posed by Shi Dian.
He no longer needed to rely on the narrow and complex alleys to increase his chances of escape.
Moreover, with the silver he obtained from Wei Feng, he could now afford a better living environment and improve his life!
Thinking of this, Qin Zheng smiled slightly, marveling at how quickly things had changed.
Just this morning, before leaving home, he had been cautious, fearing that someone from the Golden Cicada Gang might strike.
But now, with his thousand-pound strength, he was no longer afraid and could boldly change his residence.
One could say that martial arts truly had the power to change one's fate.
And only someone like him, who could ignore the difficulties of martial arts cultivation and directly use virtue to force his way through, could change his fate so swiftly.
Others, even those with natural talent, might not be able to match his pace.
As long as one had sufficient virtue, any martial art could be grasped in an instant, and perfection could be achieved in a single thought!
With this thought, Qin Zheng smiled contentedly and strode out of the house, leaving the slums behind.
Although the commotion from the fight was intense, the residents in this area were all impoverished and were mostly out working at this time of day.
So, the place remained quiet, and no one poked their heads out to investigate the source of the loud noise.
Qin Zheng's expression was calm, and behind him, he carried the wide Ghost Head Blade wrapped in coarse cloth. In his hand, he held the blood-dripping cloth-wrapped head.
He exuded a powerful and intimidating aura, causing passersby to avoid him, afraid to get too close.
In this manner, he made his way from the eastern part of the city to the northern part where the government office was located.
The flow of people here was much sparser compared to the western part of the city.
Especially near the government office, there were barely any people around.
Two government officers spotted Qin Zheng and tensed, immediately drawing their waist-hung blades and shouting sternly, "Halt, intruder!"
"I'm here to claim the reward for the head of a Golden Cicada Gang remnant!" Qin Zheng declared without hesitation, tossing the wrapped head in front of the officers.
As the blood-stained package landed, it revealed Wei Feng's head, filled with despair, startling the two officers.
However, as a government official in Black Goose City, he wasn't unfamiliar with such scenes.
The two men first confirmed the situation before rewrapping Wei Feng's head and addressing Qin Zheng, "Please wait a moment, Sir!"
After speaking, one of them carried the package and ran back into the government office, while the other remained on guard.
Qin Zheng didn't engage in conversation with them and slightly lowered his head, sensing the changes within his body.
The refinement of the relic had brought about changes to the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, and these changes were still ongoing. He could feel warm currents emerging from within his body, flowing through his limbs and bones, and finally merging with the outermost layer of his skin! This made Qin Zheng's skin even more resilient.
"Skin Refinement Realm," Qin Zheng muttered to himself.
This situation further confirmed that he was still in the Skin Refinement Realm.
However, his current strength had undoubtedly broken free from the constraints of the Skin Refinement Realm.
Qin Zheng sighed softly in his heart.
This was because the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill he had obtained was an incomplete version, lacking in its full essence.
Under the forced refinement and enhancement of the Virtue Scroll, his strength had increased, but his physique had not kept up!
What a pity. Otherwise, with his current strength, he would even dare to draw his sword against Shi Dian.
Soon, the messenger who had entered the government office came running out again.
This time, the package containing Wei Feng's head was gone, replaced by a money pouch.
"Young Sir, the government office has confirmed that it is indeed Wei Feng's head." The messenger approached Qin Zheng and spoke with a smile.
Wei Feng, the Black Demon Palm user, was not an unknown figure in Black Goose City and its surrounding areas.
The seemingly young man who had single-handedly killed him must possess exceptional martial arts skills.
Judging by his simple and unadorned clothing, he was probably a disciple of some hidden master. Naturally, they wouldn't dare to act superior.
"This is your reward, thirty taels of silver. Please accept it." The messenger respectfully handed the money pouch to Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng's lips curled up slightly, and he reached out to take the pouch.
Wei Feng had provided him with a total of three hundred and fifty taels of silver, thirty taels as a reward and three hundred and twenty taels found on his body.
It was indeed a case of killing and getting rich!
Qin Zheng took the money and was about to leave to find new accommodations.
But at this moment, the messenger behind him called out again, "Young Sir, may I ask where you killed Wei Feng?"
Qin Zheng didn't hide the truth, "In the east of the city."
With that, he took large strides away from the government office.
The place always gave him a chilling feeling, and even standing at the entrance made him uncomfortable.
No wonder there were hardly any people around.
Qin Zheng thought to himself as he headed south of the city.
This area wasn't as prosperous as the west or as simple as the east; it was somewhere in between.
Moreover, it was closer to the execution ground and the military camp, making it more convenient for Qin Zheng's comings and goings.
After a brief investigation, he spent thirty taels to purchase a small courtyard with a single entrance and exit, which became Qin Zheng's temporary residence.
The conditions were far better than the earthen house in the east.
After a quick cleanup, Qin Zheng prepared to go out for a meal.
Bang, bang! At that moment, a knock sounded on the door.
Qin Zheng was puzzled. He had just moved into the courtyard, so who could be visiting?
Could it be a friend of the previous owner?
He tensed up slightly and approached the door, asking, "Who is it?"
A familiar voice answered from outside, "It's me, Wang Er."
Qin Zheng opened the door and saw Wang Er, his face dark and filled with a mix of emotions.
"Brother Wang, how did you know I moved here?" Qin Zheng was taken aback.
"Ji Xiaowei wants to see you." Wang Er's gaze was complicated as he spoke.
