Chapter 1328 -50: Night Talk!
After exchanging several blows, ‘Zhao Laosi’ was already unrecognizable under Jason who was mounted on him.
Not only was his skull shattered, but more than half of his chest had been turned into mush.
Yet,
‘Zhao Laosi’ was still alive.
That’s right!
Even without a skull, missing half of his chest, ‘Zhao Laosi’ was still alive.
He could even make sounds.
“I will return!”
After leaving these words, ‘Zhao Laosi’s aura completely dissipated, beginning to rot just like the scene Jason had seen earlier in front of the wonton stall in ‘Mountain City’.
Jason shook off the blood and stood up.
He stared at the rapidly decaying corpse without any expression on his face.
Yet, inside, he was laughing.
The opponent definitely possessed some kind of ‘undying’ secret technique.
Moreover, this kind of ‘secret technique’ could be prepared in advance.
Just like right now, abandoning one body, entering another.
‘If that’s the case…’
‘Evil-Slaying Slash’ should be quite effective.’
‘However, executing a slash in one blow is far less advantageous than using it cyclically. I had controlled my force earlier, showing I barely managed to win, even letting the opponent think it was due to carelessness, so next time he appears, the opponent would surely be fully prepared, likely armed with one or two powerful pieces of equipment. With the opponent’s status, this ‘food’ should be quite tasty, or gathering some manpower, those people might also carry ‘Secret Medicine’, powerful equipment, which would be equally delectable.’
Thinking of this, Jason’s mouth started to salivate rapidly.
He couldn’t wait for the opponent to return soon.
He even speculated in his mind what kind of food the opponent would bring back.
Only after two or three seconds did Jason snap out of it,
trying to maintain a calm demeanor, but a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes.
Although there was no one around.
But as a qualified ‘actor’, even without an audience, Jason still had to perfectly get into character.
His current role was a rural martial arts school owner with decent talent and strength, but devoid of much experience.
Naturally, such a martial arts school owner would definitely not have money.
So, the next moment, Jason bent down and picked up the box containing Silver Coins, also searching the bodies of the previous three people.
After doing all this, Jason looked with lingering fear at the rotting corpse on the ground, turned around, and left.
‘I look forward to your return.’
Jason said silently in his heart.
Soon, Jason disappeared from the street.
The night wind blew gently by.
The foul smell quickly attracted the watchman.
“Ahh! Ahh!”
“There’s been a murder!”
In the panicked voice, the watchman sounded the gong.
In no time, the constables appeared.
“Quick, go find Instructor Zhao!”
The leading constable shouted loudly.
One constable hurried off, but the supposedly reliable Instructor Zhao, was nowhere to be found this time.
Suddenly, the constables around became suspicious and uncertain.
The news quickly reached the ears of the ‘Fucheng’ lord.
Immediately, the once calmed Zhoufu was put under lockdown again.
However, this had nothing to do with Jason anymore.
Having left the ‘Black Market’ of Zhoufu and exchanged 10,250 Silver Coins, equaling 205 taels of Gold, for 100 ‘Nourishing Essence Pills’, Jason, wearing a mask, strolled back to his inn.
Compared to ‘Mountain City’, Zhoufu truly lived up to its name.
100 ‘Nourishing Essence Pills’ were just what was available on the market; there must be other good things under the table.
This is not a guess.
It’s what Jason literally smelled. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Moreover, in the recent ‘Black Market’, someone had cautiously asked Jason whether he needed more advanced ‘Secret Medicine’.
But Jason declined them all.
To Jason, unless it’s a great medicine, the ‘Nourishing Essence Pill’ offers the best value for money.
Jason tried to slow down, making two extra rounds.
But no one followed him.
In fact, someone was there at the start, but with Zhoufu under lockdown, they quickly withdrew.
Reluctantly making two more rounds, Jason had no choice but to return to the inn.
‘Even though the Empire has declined, does its might still linger?’
Thinking about the ‘Tiger-shape Fist’ Gousheng exchanged for him before, and the series of exchange systems, Jason couldn’t help shaking his head.
Even a dying tiger is still formidable.
He thought of this saying.
Of course, the current Empire hasn’t died yet.
It just shows a semblance of decline.
As long as the leaders wield absolute force, even in decline, there will surely be a revival.
Subconsciously, Jason thought of the ‘one Emperor, two Sovereigns, three Immortals, four Buddhas, five Demons, six Monsters, seven Kings, eight Dukes’ top nine experts in this world heard from ‘Zhao Laosi’.
Ranked first, the ‘one Emperor’ is the Emperor of the Empire.
Ranked seventh, the ‘seven Kings’ are imperial princes of the Empire.
Two of the top nine experts are claimed by the Empire, as long as these two are around, the Empire most likely has nothing to fear; even if there is, it would be just some trivial matters.
Or, to be precise, if one wants the Empire to fall, the first step is taking down the so-called ‘one Emperor’ and ‘seven Kings’.
Only by taking these two down, can there be a chance for the world to descend into chaos.
Otherwise, it would be nothing but child’s play.
But to take these two down?
If it were really that easy, the Empire would have fallen long ago.
Thinking about this, Jason didn’t linger on the street anymore, immediately retreating stealthily back to the inn.
