Chapter 7: The Divine Legs Shake the Capital, The Sword Control Technique

Meng Qiushuang and a group of disciples were filled with concern.

Jiang Changsheng's voice echoed beneath the night sky, making it difficult to discern the direction from which the sound originated

Jiang Changsheng answered truthfully, and after Secretary Yang finished speaking, he turned and left. Only Chen Li and Jiang Changsheng remained in the room

The Evil Eye King widened his eyes, his face displaying an expression of disbelief, as blood gushed uncontrollably from his mouth, leaving a trail of blood in the night sky. He soared over one pavilion after another, flying above the heads of his disciples, crossing the cliffs, and plummeting towards the foot of the mountain, disappearing into the mist.

A line of text appeared before Jiang Changsheng's eyes, and he smiled, for it was no longer martial arts, but rather magic

I did not expect that besides the old man Qingxu, there is another expert at Longqiguan; it turns out the target is you

It is the ghostly eye ... ... the evil king ... ... he is dead !

Meng Qiushuang, the third disciple of Longqiguan, stood with her sword drawn in front of the Evil King of Guimu, her robe soaked by the rain. Although she was a woman, there was no trace of fear on her beautiful face

However, Jiang Changsheng is also an orphan, and they cannot make definitive assertions; they can only speculate based on the words of the Evil King.

Meng Qiushuang murmured to herself, gripping the sword in her hand

Meng Qiushuang coldly said: "Demon, you have slaughtered my disciples. When my master returns, you will certainly not be spared. Moreover, this is the capital city, and I have already sent disciples to report to the authorities. This capital is a net of heaven and earth, and you cannot escape from it"

Is this the correct direction

Jiang Changsheng shook his head and said, "He merely underestimated me due to my youth."

He immediately began to accept the inheritance of the Sword Control Technique

... ...

The Ghostly Eye Evil King swiftly charged towards Jiang Changsheng, leaping onto the eaves, as both sides rapidly closed in on each other. This scene left the disciples of Longqiguan feeling extremely tense.

Is that so? Your martial arts are so strong? You were able to kill the Ghost Eye Evil King, I heard that he was kicked off the mountain by you and fell to his death?

Chen Li introduced, and upon hearing this, Jiang Changsheng clasped his hands and bowed.

After slaying the Evil King of Ghostly Eyes, he was surrounded by his disciples. However, the disciples were not overly excited, as many of their peers had perished. The second senior brother, Meng Qiuhé, was severely injured. Currently, the Longqi Temple is under the management of the third senior sister, Meng Qiushuang. Meng Qiushuang advised him to return to his room to rest early, to avoid the possibility of treacherous individuals coming to kill him again

Jiang Changsheng sat on the bed, without any self-reproach; instead, he was contemplating whether the enemy would launch another attack.

The general, after examining the injuries of the Ghostly Eye Evil King, said in a deep voice: "He was kicked to death by an extremely powerful kick, dying instantly; the disparity in strength between the two sides was vast"

Third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, True Origin Realm, top expert

He can be considered to be in high spirits; after one night, all the nobility in the capital knows that a young and exceptional master has emerged from Longqi Temple, capable of kicking to death even the notorious Ghost Eye Evil King, which undoubtedly promises a boundless future in the martial arts-oriented Great Jing Dynasty

Chen Li waved his hand and said: "What modesty, your footwork is such that even the generals guarding the capital are astonished. That Ghostly Eye Evil King is a master above the True Origin Realm, classified as a top-tier expert in the martial world. Such martial artists can manipulate their true energy with ease, and are no match for ordinary individuals."

The third level of the Daoist method of natural power can already easily defeat top experts, highlighting the significant gap between cultivating immortality and martial arts

The soldiers were taken by surprise and quickly surrounded the area

When the two parties were less than 50 paces apart, Jiang Changsheng suddenly moved

"Long Life Junior Brother ... ... "

At the foot of Longqi Mountain, a large number of prison guards and officials rushed over, and Zhang Tianren also came running with a long spear. In the light of the torch held in his left hand, one could see that his neck was flushed red

Jiang Changsheng practiced his skills with peace of mind. Without a sword, he could not practice the Sword Control Technique, so he primarily focused on the Daoist principle of natural cultivation.

The Ghostly Eye Evil King leaped into the air, channeling his internal energy into his right palm. His smile was so cruel, and his eyes were filled with excitement.

Although Chen Li has never ventured into the martial world, he has still heard of the notorious reputation of the Ghostly Eye Evil King. He was previously aware of the incident involving Jiang Changsheng and the Ghostly Eye Evil King being captured by the imperial court

The Demon Eye Evil King sneered, "Oh? Another assassination attempt? It seems it has failed, but this time you are definitely doomed"

Jiang Changsheng kicked the chest of the Evil King Gui Mu in mid-air, accompanied by the crisp sound of bones breaking. The true energy erupted from his right foot, and the Evil King Gui Mu was directly sent flying.

The Ghostly Eye Evil King disregarded her and laughed, saying: "Why have you not made your move yet? Why have you not fled?"

... ...

The Ghostly Eye Evil King stood still, neither advancing nor looking at Meng Qiushuang, but instead fixated on the night sky behind her, where a figure on a rooftop was gazing at him

Meng Qiushuang finally understood that the other party was not watching her at all. She turned her head to look, and behind her were buildings; she could not see the figure a hundred zhang away. The disciples around her were also weak. Who was this top expert that the demon spoke of?

Under the night sky, amidst the thunder and lightning, the figures of both sides are illuminated

Jiang Changsheng stood on the eaves of the Mingxin Hall. From a distance, his true appearance was indistinguishable; all that could be seen was his upright figure, exuding an indescribable powerful aura beneath the thunderclouds of the night sky

Although the opponent's true energy is not even half of mine, it is much stronger than my master's. It seems that he has experienced many battles, so I cannot be careless and must go all out.

The thunderclouds are rolling in, and it is still raining in the night sky, with the rain becoming increasingly heavy

He leaped into the air and landed on the roof of the attic behind Meng Qiushuang. A group of disciples quickly gathered, retreating with the books to the front of the main gate of Longqi Temple. They looked out and finally caught sight of Jiang Changsheng's figure

Bang

Zhang Tianren nodded and said, "That's right, it's in this direction"

This night marks the most disastrous calamity at Longqi Temple in over a decade, with at least twenty disciples having lost their lives

Zhang Tianren came to his senses, recalling the scene when the Ghostly Eye Evil King broke out of the heavenly prison, his expression was complex

Rumbling sound

Meng Qiushuang and a group of disciples were left speechless, unable to believe their eyes

Chen Li no longer pretended to be serious, and exclaimed with excitement

Jiang Changsheng's strength made him feel that the investments he had made over the years were not in vain

"From what you are saying, you are here for me. Could it be that the previous assassination was also arranged by you?"

Can such evil be resisted by longevity

The general hesitated and said: "This is indeed the Dragon ... ... "

Yang Shangshu said expressionlessly: "Then speak of everything you have seen"

"Brat, die!"

A shocked prison guard exclaimed, prompting Zhang Tianren and the general to rush over to investigate. They found the Evil King lying on the stone steps, his limbs twisted in an unsettling manner, his chest caved in, and faintly visible were his ghastly white bones. He died with his eyes wide open, as if he had witnessed the most terrifying thing in the world, his eyes filled with horror.

Before the words were finished, a sound of wind came from above, startling them into instinctively turning their heads to look. A figure descended from the sky, crashing onto the steps at the foot of Longqi Temple, shattering the stones and spilling blood all over the ground

disparity in strength

The Ghostly Eye Evil King chuckled ominously, while Meng Qiushuang furrowed her brows, not understanding the other party's intentions

Those who are above the first-rate masters are all proud and arrogant individuals. The Chen family has managed to recruit a top-notch master, but he is not currently in the capital, so they can only summon him when necessary. Jiang Changsheng, on the other hand, resides in the capital and is an orphan, which makes it possible to recruit him to become a member of the Chen family

Yang Shangshu scrutinized Jiang Changsheng, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise. He inquired, "Do you recognize the Ghost Eye Evil King? He is the villain who attacked Longqi Temple last night, and it is said that he was killed by you."

Jiang Changsheng was still practicing, and there were four disciples guarding the courtyard. They were quietly discussing the events of last night; Jiang Changsheng's performance had shocked everyone in the entire temple, but some were also blaming him, believing that he had attracted the evil spirits.

He leaped up with a speed that was difficult to capture, like a ghostly figure, delivering a flying kick. His leg landed within the pupil of the Evil Eye King, creating an afterimage, as if dozens of legs were simultaneously attacking the Evil Eye King.

During the Great Jing Dynasty, the position of Minister of Personnel was considered the second highest official rank, and it is difficult to find more than ten individuals who held greater power than the Minister of Justice.

This is the Minister of Justice, Lord Yang, who has come to investigate the matter of the Evil King with Ghostly Eyes. The Evil King has not only killed disciples of the Longqi Temple but has also murdered several prison guards. This incident has already alarmed the court, and His Majesty is furious, ordering a thorough investigation into the matter

Jiang Changsheng thought to himself as he began to mobilize the true energy within his body, causing his Daoist robe to billow and flutter.

He was both excited and nervous, as it was his first time killing an enemy. He gave it his all, and fortunately, there were no mishaps

In the 14th year of the Kaiyuan era, the Evil Eye Demon King attacked you, but you defeated him, surviving a massacre and receiving a survival reward— the spell 'Sword Control Technique'

Zhang Tianren was moved, raising his head to gaze at the mountains ahead. In the night, with rolling thunderclouds, Longqi Mountain appeared so mysterious

Jiang Changsheng silently took note

A sleepless night

The position of the Minister of the Six Ministries is exceedingly high; in other dynasties, it would not be so easily toppled. However, during the Great Jing era, it was different, as most of the high-ranking officials were founders of the dynasty, and the emperor consistently sought to remove them. Almost every year, there were changes among the ministers, and the Ministers of the Six Ministries naturally treaded carefully, as if walking on thin ice.

Moreover, how could the martial arts sects located in the capital be free from calamities

Inside the house, Jiang Changsheng returned to the room and closed the door, letting out a sigh

He was not interrupted in his practice until Chen Li came to visit, and Chen Li did not come alone; he was accompanied by another person

Jiang Changsheng's hearing far exceeded that of ordinary people, and naturally he heard these remarks. However, he did not care; he was no longer a youth. He was an adult who had lived two lives. In this life, he only wished to survive for as long as possible and had no time to worry about the deaths of others

Jiang Changsheng replied: "In response to the esteemed Minister, I have been an orphan since childhood, living at Longqi Temple. Apart from Scholar Chen and His Highness the Fourth Prince, I do not recognize anyone from the mountain below"

The other disciples of Longqi Guan among the surrounding buildings all looked nervously at the Ghostly Eye Evil King, trembling in fear and not daring to take action

A general furrowed his brow and asked, his tone filled with confusion

Early morning

Jiang Changsheng gazed at the Ghostly Eye Evil King, his eyes icy, and the intent to kill had already arisen

Hearing the voice of Jiang Changsheng, Meng Qiushuang and the group of disciples were all taken aback. They naturally remembered Jiang Changsheng's voice, but Jiang Changsheng was an unparalleled master

Chen Li further elaborated on the situation of the case. The Tianlao prison is a crucial location in the capital, and the fact that a death row inmate managed to escape has brought great shame to the emperor. The prison guard responsible for overseeing the notorious Ghost Eye Evil King has already been ordered to be executed, and there will be further investigations into the personnel at all levels of the Tianlao prison. This is also the reason why the Minister of Justice has come in person; if the investigation is not conducted properly, his position as Minister may be at risk.

Your identity and background are quite simple. Master Qingxu has reported the household registration of every disciple, so you need not worry too much. Your killing of the Ghost Eye Evil King will surely earn you merit, and when the time comes, His Majesty will have to reward you. So, tell me, what do you want? If His Majesty brings it up during the court session, I can also speak on your behalf.

How is it possible
