Three Great Guardians
Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Qing was practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
His figure flashed, and he suddenly dashed forward. He was like a ghost, moving silently and at great speed. No footsteps could be heard; only afterimages could be seen behind him, as if he were flying close to the ground.
He sprinted back and forth in the courtyard, creating gusts of wind, and did so thirteen times in a row before stopping, with a little sweat seeping from his forehead.
"Excellent. In less than half a month, Passing Glimpse. I'm very satisfied."
Wang Ling leaped down from the rooftop, his gaze sweeping over Lin Qing, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
"How is this Lightness Skill to learn?" Wang Ling asked again.
"It's very difficult, more difficult than any other Lightness Skill I've ever learned before," Lin Qing said.
Every movement and posture contains a wealth of details. If it weren't for his Exceptional martial arts Talent and the foundation of several Perfect Mastery Lightness Skill, he would never have been able to master them in just half a month.
"It's difficult, indeed it is, but the benefits are great once you get the hang of it." Wang Ling nodded.
"Yes, this Lightness Skill allows for extremely fast short-distance sprints and is very effective in close-quarters combat, but it consumes too much energy and cannot be used for extended periods."
"Lin Qing pondered."
"You understand very well. This is just the beginning. Once you reach Perfect Mastery, in the Prefectural City, if you want to escape, no more than ten people can catch you. I'm here today to take you out on a mission. The information you provided before is indeed true. I have confirmed that there are Yinyuan Sect members hiding in Wanghai Tower, including Song Heilong and the witch Deng Qianyu. Tonight, I will lead the officers of the Soul-Calming Office Constable to wipe out these demons in one fell swoop!" Wang Ling said suddenly in a deep voice.
"I was just thinking of finding someone to test how strong I am now." Lin Qing nodded.
Night falls.
A thick fog descended upon the Prefectural City, and the streets and alleys were sparsely populated. Lin Qing, along with a group of Constable, stood in a small alley near the Wanghai Restaurant, gazing into the distance. He could faintly hear the shouts of the guests inside the restaurant.
The Wanghai Restaurant is doing very well; there are many customers at this time.
"Damn it, I should be sleeping at this hour. It's all the fault of those bastards at Wanghai Restaurant." Wei Dong stood to the side, his hands tucked into his sleeves, constantly cursing the ancestors of the Yinyuan Sect Fiend.
"Stop complaining, Lin Qing, Wei Dong. You two need to perform well later and try to kill as many Yinyuan Sect Fiend as possible. This operation involves all Eight Gold Tokens Constable and is an assessment set up by Commissioner Yang. If you perform poorly, even if you defeat the strongest among the newly Constable in next year's assessment, you may still be replaced by others because of insufficient merit." Old Tang stood to the side, holding a jar of wine in his hand. As he spoke, a rich aroma of wine wafted over.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing silently gripped the knife in his hand. This time, the Soul-Calming Office was truly serious, deploying almost all of its elite forces. Many Constable Chief, such as collecting corpses, patrolling at night, and exorcising evil spirits, were mobilized.
"Old Tang, what is our mission?" Wei Dong asked.
"Wait here and block Yinyuan Sect Fiend trying to escape from this direction!" Old Tang shouted.
As they were talking, suddenly, a firework rose into the sky from the due east direction, and with a loud bang, it exploded in the sky, scattering colorful fireworks in all directions and scattering across the sky.
"Let's make our move! Draw your swords!" Old Tang tossed the wine jar behind him, a chilling aura emanating from him. With a clang, he drew his Waist Saber and stood at the forefront of the group.
Lin Qing and the others also drew their swords and stood behind him, their bodies tense, exuding a chilling aura.
--
Wanghai Restaurant.
Wang Ling led his men into the fray, shouting loudly and startling everyone in the various rooms.
"I am Wang Ling, an Executive of the Soul-Calming Office Division. Yinyuan Sect Fiend Yuan Sect is lurking in the Wanghai Restaurant. I have been ordered to apprehend him. Everyone, stand still! No one is to move or leave. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"
As Wang Ling spoke, an astonishing aura erupted from his body, causing many guests in the lobby of the restaurant to squat down.
Among these people were many noble young men from prominent families in the Prefectural City. Some of them were of low character and usually acted arrogantly and domineeringly, but when they saw Wang Ling, they all put away their arrogance and dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction.
In Shichuan Prefectural City, the Soul-Calming Office is the law. Anyone who dares to oppose the Soul-Calming Office will be annihilated in an instant. Even the Golden Family, which is currently the most powerful, does not dare to do so.
Not to mention, standing before them was Wang Ling, the sharpest blade of the Soul-Calming Office.
Splash!
Accompanied by a series of rapid footsteps, a group of Constable rushed out from behind Wang Ling and ran up the stairs to the top of the restaurant, preparing to search every floor and every room thoroughly, leaving no Yinyuan Sect Fiend undetected.
Just then, a loud laugh suddenly came from inside the building.
"Wang Ling, you old thief, you're quick on your feet. I've only been here for half a year and you've already found my location. But it doesn't matter. Others may fear you, but I don't. You think you can catch me? No way!"
The guests looked up and suddenly saw a red-clad figure burst out of a window of a room on the top floor, letting out a long howl.
This long howl was a dark magic possessed by Red Embroidered Lady. The sound waves swept in all directions, and in an instant, many people's minds were impacted. Some clutched their heads and covered their ears, their faces showing pain. Some fainted on the spot, and some bled from all seven orifices, their lives hanging in the balance.
"Deng Qianyu! You dare to speak so arrogantly even when you're about to die! Today I will definitely kill you!" Wang Ling drew his sword and suddenly used his Lightness Skill to rush towards Deng Qianyu. The latter did not confront him head-on, but instead used his Lightness Skill to move forward all the way to the top of the Pavilion. Suddenly, he broke through the roof and escaped to the outside world.
At the same time, Deng Qianyu's unrestrained and arrogant laughter echoed again.
"Wang Ling, you think I've fallen into your trap? What a joke! I was prepared. Today, you're the one who deserves to die!"
As she spoke, Deng Qianyu landed on the roof of a nearby house. Just as Wang Ling was about to chase after her, a Chain Hammer smashed through the window of a third-floor room in the Wanghai Restaurant, hurtling straight toward him with a howling wind and waves.
Wang Ling frowned, then suddenly swung his sword, slashing the Chain Hammer down from mid-air.
"Haha, Deng Qianyu, I'll help you deal with Wang Ling, you slut, you owe me one. I'll definitely fuck you to death when we get back!"
A burly man's voice came from inside the restaurant, followed by a figure leaping down like a meteorite, crashing heavily to the ground and creating a large crater. Instantly, dust billowed up.
Lin Qing and the others watched from a distance. Although they were some distance from the Wanghai Restaurant, Martial Artist have eyesight far exceeding that of ordinary people, and they could still clearly see the battle situation near the restaurant.
The burly man who had fallen to the ground stood up. His body was extremely robust, about the height of two people. He carried a Chain Hammer and was covered in heavy black armor. Red lines ran across his exposed skin, making him look like a walking humanoid behemoth.
"This is bad. This is another protector of the Yinyuan Sect, Tan Yuchun. He is worshipping another Evil Spirits of the Yinyuan Sect Yuan Sect, the Blood Bull. It can store the absorbed essence blood in its body and activate it when needed for battle, greatly increasing its physical strength." Old Tang's expression was solemn.
That wasn't all. He glanced around and Wanghai Restaurant. From a distance, it was a short boy carrying an extremely large black Scythe on his back, his eyes cold as he looked down at the earth.
"There's a third protector, Ma Meng, who is worshipping the Evil Spirits Spirit-Devouring Demon Child!" Old Tang's expression grew increasingly solemn.
