Under the buff of the Blood Burst State, Kong Wu's strength was further enhanced.
The Evil-Slaying Saber sliced directly into the talisman sword.
Then, it tore through the obstacles ahead like a hot knife through butter, carving out a silver arc of light.
All of this happened in an instant, so fast that the Blood Spirit's expression hadn't even had time to change before the scene in its eyes began to spin.
With a jolt, the Blood Spirit's vision stabilized.
Not far away, a headless body stood holding a sword.
"How is this possible?"
"I am..."
His thoughts were swallowed by darkness, and the Blood Spirit stopped thinking.
Congratulations on defeating "Blood Spirit", you have gained 10 Free Attribute Points.
As the system prompt sounded, Kong Wu let out a long breath, a satisfied smile on his face.
10 Free Attribute Points, very good.
Although he didn't get any Skills, in Kong Wu's opinion, none of the Blood Spirit's Skills were suitable for him.
Shouldering the Evil-Slaying Saber, Kong Wu didn't forget the main business.
He turned and walked towards Old Master Qian, who was trembling in the corner of the room.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I have money, I'll give it all to you..."
Old Master Qian, grabbed by the head and lifted up by Kong Wu, cried out and struggled.
Slap!
Kong Wu controlled his strength and lightly slapped him.
A few of his old teeth flew out, and only then did Old Master Qian regain his senses.
"Constable Kong! Spare me..."
Ignoring his pleas, Kong Wu directly asked, "Where can I find that scoundrel?"
"Huh?"
Old Master Qian was stunned for a moment. Noticing the impatience on Kong Wu's face, he quickly said, "Qingzhou Academy, I found him a... there..."
Squelch!
Before he could finish speaking, a watermelon exploded in Kong Wu's hand.
Casually wiping his hands on his clothes, Kong Wu walked out of the Qian residence without looking back.
Kong Wu was a very pure person.
Many people said that in the world, there were no right or wrong, only standpoints.
But Kong Wu didn't think so.
He didn't care what the world said; to him, what was right was right, and what was wrong was wrong.
If the world thought his actions were wrong, then it should come and defeat him first.
At the same time, Kong Wu was also a smart person.
When his strength was insufficient, he wouldn't forcibly correct things that were beyond his capabilities.
But as long as he had enough strength, nothing could stop him from pursuing what he believed was right.
The Qian Family had dominated Qingshan County for many years, possessing countless fertile fields and piles of gold and silver.
And in the process of accumulating wealth, how many souls of suffering farmers were pushed aside by that wealth.
In the past, Kong Wu was just an ordinary person. Although his combat power far surpassed that of ordinary people, he had not ultimately broken free from the mortal realm.
Facing those cultivators, it would be a lie to say he wasn't apprehensive.
But now, having clearly found the path to becoming stronger, he no longer had to worry about anything in Qingshan County.
Exiting the Qian residence, Kong Wu, covered in blood, walked down the street, scaring the passersby into fleeing.
After walking for a while, he finally reached his destination.
Kong Wu looked at the tense constables at the yamen entrance and said expressionlessly, "Are you... going to stop me?"
"Ah? No, no, no!"
"Constable Kong, please!"
The constables, who had hastily gathered upon hearing that someone was heading towards the yamen with a saber on his back and covered in blood, made way when they realized it was Kong Wu.
Seeing this, Kong Wu calmly walked in.
"Constable Kong, which bandit den did you take down this time?"
"Who knows which unlucky fellow it was."
"Disperse, disperse."
After some discussion, the constables dispersed.
The Qian residence was located in a secluded and quiet corner of Qingshan County, so no one had yet spread the news.
"Constable Kong, you're back."
Facing Skinny Monkey's smiling face, Kong Wu nodded rarely, acknowledging him.
He walked into his room and took a file from the bookshelf.
Seeing Kong Wu about to leave with something, Skinny Monkey solicitously stepped forward and said, "Constable Kong, are you going out to handle a case? Shall I help you carry the saber?"
"You can't lift it!"
Kong Wu chuckled and walked out.
Skinny Monkey scratched his head. Although he was puzzled, he hurried out.
As the two reached the entrance, they saw a young constable running over in a hurry. His eyes lit up when he saw Kong Wu, and he quickly said, "Constable Kong, the Qian family was attacked by bandits. Inside the Qian residence..."
Before he could finish, Kong Wu said calmly, "I did it. What's wrong?"
"Huh?"
This statement stunned the young constable on the spot. The constables standing on either side of the gate also widened their eyes and turned to look at Kong Wu.
Ignoring everyone's reaction, Kong Wu walked out directly after saying that.
Skinny Monkey, also filled with doubt, wanted to say something but stopped himself and hurried to catch up.
Since Constable Kong did it, the Qian family must have committed a crime.
However, that was the Qian family.
The most prominent wealthy family in Qingshan County.
He killed them just like that.
A trace of doubt arose in Skinny Monkey's heart.
Although Constable Kong's combat power was unmatched, influential families like the Qian family had many connections. Even the County Magistrate was a frequent guest of the Qian family.
What would happen after Constable Kong did something like this?
However, this trace of doubt vanished instantly with Kong Wu's subsequent actions.
It was replaced by deep shock.
Kong Wu, holding the file in his hand, visited several other wealthy families one after another.
Wherever he went, he directly broke in, apprehended the heads of the households, opened the file, and read out their crimes.
Then, he beheaded them.
"Li Le, five years ago, to seize land, he forced the Zhao family village farmer Zhao Desheng and his family of five to their deaths. Three years ago, he forcibly took Madam Yang, beating her husband to death in the street. A year ago..."
"Huang Shi, ten years ago, he killed all thirteen members of Steward Zhang's family outside the city and seized their property."
"Zhong Wuyuan, relying on his elder brother being the Chief Clerk in the county, he engaged in bullying and extortion. According to my information, he has taken eight lives. There's no need to investigate further; these alone are enough to sentence you to beheading."
In this way, Kong Wu visited almost all the influential families and noble households in Qingshan County.
They included landed gentry, wealthy merchants, and even the families of county officials.
Without exception, as long as their crimes met the threshold, Kong Wu beheaded them on the spot.
At this moment, Kong Wu finished reading the records in the file and raised his long saber to behead Zhong Wuyuan's brother.
After finishing, he turned around and found that countless citizens had gathered behind him at some unknown time.
Their eyes held gratitude and admiration as they looked at Kong Wu.
There were also numerous yamen runners and constables among them, but they merely watched Kong Wu's actions, and not a single one dared to step forward.
Or rather, as they witnessed these scenes, their hearts were filled with emotion.
"Thank you for your great kindness, Constable Kong!"
At the front of the crowd, a woman, tears streaming down her face, was about to kneel.
"Do not kneel!"
Kong Wu roared, and the gust of wind he created swept through the crowd, causing the woman who was about to kneel to stumble backward.
Tossing the file aside, Kong Wu strode away.
He walked through the passage cleared by the crowd, through the streets and alleys, and stopped at the city gate. He looked up at the characters "Qingshan County" carved on the city wall, paused slightly, and then stepped out.
Behind him, countless citizens watched his sturdy figure gradually recede, their cries echoing.
