No One Can Stop Me From Killing! (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Cough cough!

Zhang Xiuwen lowered his head, coughing up blood, and struggled to his feet.

When he looked up at Qin Zheng again, his eyes were filled with shock.

At the same time, this sudden turn of events brought a solemn silence to the entire battlefield in front of the city gates.

Both the bandits outside the city and the people within.

None had expected that Zhang Xiuwen, who had broken through the fourth major realm and was in the Bone-Refining Realm, would be so heavily injured by a single saber strike!

And the one who delivered the blow was merely a seemingly thin young man!

Canoe Gang's First Boss Zhang Wei, Black Tiger Gang's Leader Wei, Vermilion Bird Gang's Leader Xing, Three Origins Gang's Leader Xiong...

as well as countless gang disciples and fierce bandits.

At this moment, as they looked at Qin Zheng, their eyes were filled with the same shock.

Simultaneously, a thought surfaced in everyone's minds.

Black Goose City was saved!

"Kill!!!"

Someone shouted out of the blue.

The battle cries instantly shattered the silence at the city gates.

The battlefield erupted once again!

However, this time, the bandits were fighting and retreating, completely lacking the arrogant and unbridled morale they had moments before.

Zhang Xiuwen stood up, his gaze imperceptibly sweeping over the city wall, then he turned and used his movement technique to flee.

Seeing this, Qin Zheng immediately employed his own movement technique and gave chase to the bandit leader.

The surrounding bandits were all insignificant small fry; killing them wouldn't yield much Merit.

But this bandit leader was deeply mired in sin, the most Qin Zheng had seen so far. Killing him would be equivalent to killing dozens of ordinary bandits!

Since Qin Zheng was now going all out, he was determined to slay his opponent!

Thus, on the battlefield before the city gates, two figures could be seen, one after the other, rapidly moving away from the city gates and into the distance.

Concurrently, with Zhang Xiuwen's escape, the bandits also felt fear, and one by one, they turned and fled.

Under these circumstances, the battle trended overwhelmingly in one direction.

On the city wall, Magistrate Gao looked at the fierce bandits and robbers lying dead or wounded below, as well as the members and disciples of the various gangs and factions.

A look of deep joy appeared in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Wuchang the Monk from Rebirth Temple, after striking down a Flesh-Refining Realm bandit, also stopped.

He gazed in the direction Qin Zheng and Zhang Xiuwen had departed, and a hint of unintentional ferocity flickered in his calm eyes.

A short while later, the bandits at the city gates were almost completely wiped out, and sounds of celebration rose high into the air, spreading in all directions.

But Qin Zheng, at this moment, had no mind to pay attention to that.

His entire focus was on the figure ahead.

The moment he clashed with the opponent, a new line of text appeared on the Merit Scroll above his sea of consciousness.

[Zhang Xiuwen, leader of the bandits, a notorious killer. Killing him will yield nine taels and eight qian of Merit!]

This was the greatest Merit reward Qin Zheng had seen so far!

Even killing Shi Dian of the Golden Cicada Gang had only earned him two taels and seven qian of Merit!

This was enough to show how much sin the bandit leader currently fleeing had committed!

Nine taels and eight qian!

If, according to the usual practice of beheading a prisoner for three qian of Merit, then Qin Zheng would have to behead thirty-three prisoners to gain so much Merit!

This was also why Qin Zheng had abandoned the other bandits to focus on Zhang Xiuwen!

With the enhancement of the fourth level of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill, the so-called fourth major realm, Bone-Refining Realm, was no different from ordinary Flesh-Refining or Muscle-Refining!

Qin Zheng could kill them with ease!

So, it was more energy-efficient to kill this one person in front of him than to waste energy on those others!

The two figures darted through the mountains and wilds like arrows, with each step on the ground sending up a puff of mud.

After a short while, the two had already traveled far from the city gates of Black Goose City and entered the deep mountains.

Although "Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell" was not a top-tier movement technique, Qin Zheng had improved it to perfection!

Therefore, the distance between them was closing at a visibly rapid pace.

When the two figures were less than a sword's length apart.

Qin Zheng didn't hesitate, drawing his saber resolutely. The cold blade gleamed, and with a fierce glint, it slashed down towards Zhang Xiuwen.

Swish!!

Clang!!!

Zhang Xiuwen turned and blocked Qin Zheng's strike with his saber.

At the same time, using the force of the collision, he suddenly accelerated backward, creating distance between them.

However, he wasn't unscathed. After taking another direct blow from Qin Zheng, his hands trembled and went numb, making it almost impossible to hold his Crescent Great Saber.

"When did Black Goose City get such a monster!!"

Zhang Xiuwen's face was filled with horror, and he felt immense despair.

He didn't get far before Qin Zheng caught up and struck again.

Then...

Clang!

The two blades met. He used the force to propel himself forward again, but his internal injuries worsened.

After repeating this several times, the Crescent Great Saber flew out of his grasp.

Finally, as he reached a valley, he abruptly stopped his escape.

At almost the same moment, Qin Zheng, who had been pursuing him closely, felt a sharp sensation between his brows. His senses flared, and he took a sudden step back.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several arrows, nearly a meter long and as thick as a finger, plunged into the ground exactly where he had been.

If he had continued forward, he would have been impaled by these arrows!

"Good alertness, cough cough."

Zhang Xiuwen looked at Qin Zheng, his body relaxed, and said with a cough.

"Is this your confidence?"

Qin Zheng's expression remained unchanged as he looked at his opponent and spoke calmly.

They were currently in a hollow part of a valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides.

Several divine archers from the bandits were likely hidden in the surroundings.

Therefore, if Qin Zheng made any move, they would unhesitatingly loose their arrows.

However...

"Do you think these divine archers can stop me from killing you?"

Qin Zheng spoke again, and at the same moment, he took a step forward.

At that instant, several more arrows flew from the surrounding valley.

But Qin Zheng's expression didn't change. With an unhurried pace, he swung his saber, deflecting each incoming arrow.

Empowered by the Great Sun Golden Cicada Skill at its peak, Qin Zheng's mental power had greatly increased.

The moment these arrows were shot, he could sense them, allowing him to react in advance, dodge, or block them with his saber.

Not to mention, within ten meters of Qin Zheng, even an ant would struggle to escape his senses!

Thus, he walked step by step towards Zhang Xiuwen, as if unstoppable.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiuwen's expression finally became undeniably grim.

His internal injuries were severe, and he was already using all his remaining strength just to stand.

As Qin Zheng approached, he felt as though a dark cloud was descending upon him.

A potent sense of mortal danger erupted within him!

Under these circumstances, Zhang Xiuwen could no longer hold back and began to beg for mercy, "Spare me! I'll give you anything you want!"

"Money, women, martial arts, even internal energy!"

"I can give you all of it!"

As he uttered the last sentence, Qin Zheng's figure paused slightly.

"Internal energy?"

He looked at Zhang Xiuwen and asked.

"Yes! Internal energy! It's the internal energy that Gao Wusheng gave me years ago to persuade me to join his ranks and work for him!"

Zhang Xiuwen, as if grasping at a lifeline, immediately nodded eagerly, afraid that Qin Zheng wouldn't believe him and would strike him down with the next blow.

Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, suppressing the surging waves of shock within him, and asked, "You mean you and your men are with Gao Wusheng, Magistrate Gao?!"
