Please, Do I Look Like a Bad Person?

In the darkness of night.

The Purple Sun Prefecture City was silent, like a vast, ancient beast lying silently in the moonlight.

"The weather is dry!"

"Watch out for fire!"

The slightly hoarse voice of the night watchman echoed through the deserted streets.

Recently, things haven't been peaceful in Purple Sun Prefecture at night, and even the number of yamen Yamen Runners on duty has increased significantly.

However, compared to the vast city, it was ultimately a drop in the ocean.

Luo Yao changed into night clothes and wandered around the city.

She heard from her returning senior brother that the Prefecture City was conducting the Avici Trial of the Drizzle Pavilion.

Besides the participants in the trial fighting each other, there were also many who took advantage of the chaos to loot and fish in troubled waters.

That's why she deliberately went out at night to perform acts of chivalry.

After all, assassins prefer to operate at night.

However...

"Miss Luo."

"I have been waiting here for quite some time."

As she walked through an alley, a voice came from within.

In the darkness, there was a gaunt figure, seemingly standing there all along, yet also as if it had appeared out of nowhere.

He was emaciated, and the black robe he wore clung to his body in the night wind.

" At the Blood-Qi Realm, and not even near the Burning Jade Forest, you dare to flaunt a famous artifact in the marketplace? I would have assumed you had a powerful expert by your side."

"I didn't expect you to actually sneak out."

The man's voice became increasingly erratic.

As soon as the words were spoken, a chilling wind seemed to blow around them, making them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their scalps tingling.

"Night Ghost Liu Heng?!"

Luo Yao recognized the person and was immediately shocked, her face turning pale.

The Night Ghost Sect is a lineage passed down through a single successor.

This is because the Cultivation Method are bizarre and require special Root Bone. Practicing the Night Ghost Sect's martial arts will result in a emaciated appearance, an inhuman look, and a strange temperament.

Moreover, his power is greatly reduced during the day, but greatly increased at night.

The previous leader of the Night Ghost Sect, Liu Heng's master, died in the siege of the Burning Jade Forest.

"I love eating children the most."

"Especially for someone as young as you..."

"If your father can kill your master, I'm not afraid of you!"

Startled, Luo Yao actually made the first move.

The Gentleman's Brush hidden in his sleeve was as sharp as a cold star, as fast as lightning, capable of piercing even the finest iron.

However, just when she thought she had succeeded...

The figure of Liu Heng before her vanished like a fleeting shadow.

"Fake?!"

"Hehehe... Your Purple Star Pupil are still not up to par."

A voice like that of an owl came from all directions.

The sound waves alone sent Luo Yao flying backward, rolling several times on the ground, her spotless brocade robes instantly becoming covered in mud.

Moreover, she had just lost her Gentleman's Brush due to a sharp pain in her hand.

"Truly a renowned treasure."

"The Judge would like it very much..."

Liu Heng toyed with the Gentleman's Brush, then put it into his bosom.

He slowly used his back to block the moonlight as he walked towards Luo Yao.

He most enjoyed watching the expressions of those handsome, chivalrous heroes as they faced death.

Would this little girl cry and beg for mercy?

Would you still spend money to buy your own life?

Or perhaps... it's an export threat?

"Hmm..."

Luo Yao's face was deathly pale, her eyes filled with despair.

She felt both regret and incomprehension.

Is the martial world really this treacherous?

The other party is clearly an Inner Breath Profound Pill Realm, so why would they shamelessly attack her, who is only at the Blood-Qi Realm? Isn't this bullying the weak?

She had never been in this pain at home...

Is she going to die?

The little girl cried, her face streaked with tears.

"I don't want to die..."

"Hehehe..."

"In the hands of such an ugly monster, sob sob sob..."

Liu Heng's laughter stopped abruptly.

He hates it when people say he's ugly, even though he really is.

Lies don't hurt, the truth does...

"You're asking for it!"

He lost interest in toying with her and prepared to take Luo Yao's life with a single palm strike.

At the critical moment.

Rumble--

It thundered?

No, it was the sound of air exploding.

A jet-black streak of light, like divine punishment or a meteor falling from the sky, crashed down with a deafening roar.

The powerful wind pressure made it almost impossible to breathe.

"Who?!"

Liu Heng used the same trick again, disappearing from the spot.

After he dodged it, the black light stopped, revealing the man's figure.

He was tall and slender, wearing Bronze Dragon Mask on his head. The dark light he had just seen was actually a short-handled hammer in his hand.

Mystic Weapon!

"You must be a fellow traveler in the underworld."

"In that case, everyone who sees it gets a share. Give me the little girl's life, and the rest are yours, how about it?"

Liu Heng's pupils flickered.

"Isn't the Avici Trial supposed to be a fight to the death from the moment you meet?"

The man with the Azure Dragon Head chuckled and spoke.

"Even opponents should be chosen based on their strength. Your strength is formidable, and we might even become colleagues in the future. Why must we fight each other?"

Liu Heng said with great sincerity.

"Alright, we'll do it your way. You can do it now."

The Azure Dragon Head nodded slightly twice, seemingly agreeing to his conditions.

Tread--

Liu Heng had only gone halfway.

Suddenly, a cold wind billowed beneath his robes, and he struck out abruptly.

What awaited him was a hammer brimming with the aura of a warrior.

"I knew you wouldn't be honest!" x2

Li Mo slammed his hammer into the opponent's claws, sending sparks flying.

Liu Heng's figure flew backward and disappeared again.

Immediately afterwards, his voice rang out from all directions:

"Heh heh heh, so you haven't even reached the Jade Liquid Realm yet."

"You dare to cross two realms and fight me just because you have Mystic Weapon and a Henglian technique?"

"It's nighttime now!"

A multitude of ghostly figures, accompanied by a chilling wind, swept in, and Liu Heng's figure seemed to flicker along with his voice.

But the eyes beneath the Azure Dragon Head closed at that moment.

When he raised the hammer again, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Having honed his skills in the Shang Wu arena, he no longer needs to rely on his eyes to see.

He can locate his opponent simply by sensing their murderous intent.

Then.

The hammer pierced through the many ghostly figures, landing slowly and firmly on one of them.

Boom--

Liu Heng's expression hadn't even had time to change.

This unavoidable blow turned him into a bloody mist.

This hammer blow, with its concentrated force, shattered Liu Heng without damaging a single brick or tile.

"If you're going to do it, then do it already."

"He just happens to like cats playing with mice..."

Li Mo was speaking when he suddenly remembered something.

In the past, when playing games, even with a huge advantage, he didn't like to push the crystal; he preferred to trap the enemy in their fountain...

emmmm.

Suddenly I kind of understand what the villains are thinking.

"Who... who are you?"

"If you're going to kill me... then let me... die knowing the truth."

The trembling voice of a little mouse betrayed her fear.

"Just call me the Northwest Hammer King."

Li Mo casually picked up the Gentleman's Brush, glanced at it, and tossed it into the girl's arms.

Aren't you going to kill me?

"If you don't leave, I'll beat you to death."

Li Mo threatened.

He was suddenly at a loss for words when it came to evaluating the young girl.

Why not seize the opportunity and instead waste it asking this question?

"Thank you... but I've never heard of you before. Which sect are you from?"

"Hard-as-Rock Gang".

"I'll remember that, I'll repay you..."

Luo Yao ran two steps, then turned back:

"By the way, do you know where Luo Yu of Burning Jade Forest is?"

"At the Prefecture Office."

Annoyance creased Li Mo's forehead.

"Thank you, you're a really nice person."

Luo Yao finally left.

And not long after she left.

Another cautious figure slipped into the alley.

"You're not done yet..."

Li Mo thought it was Luo Yao who had returned.

I just looked over.

Then a little beggar, whose clothes were very clean, scurried into the alley like a little mouse.

She carried a basket on her back, her eyes were still covered with tattered cloth, and her basket was filled with all sorts of things. She was also holding a tree branch in her arms.

She looked up, and could almost feel the cautiousness of the white eyes behind the strip of cloth.

"Um... do you have anything you don't want...?"

Li Mo: "..."
