Panshi Town is located at the border between the Great Jin Nation and the Jinyun Nation.
The Severed Yang Road and Duanyang Bridge serve as the dividing line, with the north belonging to the Great Jin Nation and the south belonging to the Jinyun Nation.
The Great Jin Nation and the Jinyun Nation were on good terms and had not fought each other for nearly a century.
Therefore, Panshi Town is naturally peaceful.
Many merchants used Panshi Town as a transit point to conduct trade between the two countries.
A single transaction can generate a considerable profit.
This has led to Panshi Town becoming extremely prosperous and bustling. Although it is called a town, its area and population are comparable to those of a medium-sized city.
In the dead of night, with the Mingyue high in the sky, the daytime heat has completely dissipated, replaced by a refreshing coolness.
Two disheveled figures Haste ran across the Duanyang Bridge.
Judging from their figures, they were a man and a woman. The man was tall and robust, dressed in a blue robe, while the woman Linglong and charming, wearing a white long dress.
The two were incredibly fast, covering several meters in a single stride, clearly demonstrating their Kung Fu Hustle.
However, just as the two passed the middle section of Duanyang Bridge, three figures emerged from under the bridge on each side.
These six people, all dressed in black tight-fitting clothes to conceal their mouths, noses, and faces, stood in front and behind, blocking the man and woman in the middle of the bridge.
"Damn it, your Jinyun Nation has some nerve! This is already the Duanyang Bridge. Can you bear the consequences of the Duanyang Bridge being stained with blood?" the man in blue said angrily.
"Hand over the letter, and we'll spare your lives. Our only goal is the letter; your lives are irrelevant," one of them said coldly.
"Are you mistaken? What letter? I have no idea what you're talking about!" the man in blue said warily.
"You won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Peng Qi has already confessed everything. No amount of sophistry from you will work. This is your final warning: hand over the letter, or you will die!"
"Damn it, I never expected that it would be Peng Yun who betrayed us in the end!" the man in blue said angrily.
"Brother, don't listen to their nonsense. Although Brother Peng is a bit unruly, he would never betray others when it comes to matters of principle."
"Heh, ignorant. Our presence here already says it all. You're just fooling yourselves," the man in black said coldly.
"Since you're so eager to die, then so be it! Make your move and kill them!"
The man in blue had an extremely ugly expression. His cultivation level was only at the fifth level of the Acquired, and his sister was not even at the Acquired Realm.
Judging from their Aura, these men in black before him were at least at the same cultivation level as him.
They have virtually no chance of winning.
Now, for them, the only way out is the Duanyang River below.
He pulled his sister closer to the bridge and earnestly instructed her, "The matter of the letter is of great importance. From now on, you will have to walk your own path."
"I'll hold them off for a bit, you find a chance to jump into the river and escape."
"Brother..." the girl's voice choked with emotion.
"Listen to me, Second Master has been incredibly kind to us siblings. With this letter, we can help him achieve Azure Sky. Leave quickly!"
With that, the man in blue pushed the girl off the Duanyang Bridge.
"Do you think you can escape?" One of the men in black Doushou and threw three darts in quick succession.
The man in blue tried desperately to stop them, but he only managed to knock two of them away with his knife.
Just as he was about to throw the third dart, he was blocked by the men in black who surrounded him.
He watched helplessly as his younger sister was struck in the back, let out a muffled groan, and fell into the river.
"Bastard!" The man in blue's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he began to fight the man in black.
However, the man in blue was only strong enough to handle one person, let alone six.
Even with his superb skills, he was barely holding on, and his defeat and death would likely be imminent.
The man in blue wielded a knife with incredible speed and cunning, moving like a blur as it clashed repeatedly with the weapon of the man in black, producing a series of Dingdang sounds.
With the man in blue fighting desperately, he managed to fight the six men to a standstill.
However, human strength has its limits. The man in blue's rapid fighting style was extremely exhausting and he couldn't sustain it for long.
After another ten minutes or so of fighting, the man in blue risked injury for injury, seriously wounding two people and killing one, but he also had several more wounds on his body.
In particular, the wound on his abdomen was extremely severe, with blood gushing out.
Having suffered such a fatal wound, the man in blue was clearly no longer able to fight.
His arm, which was holding a knife, was first severed by a man in black, and then his throat was pierced by a sword.
"Swish!" The man in black withdrew his longsword.
The man in blue covered his neck and turned to look down from the bridge.
Gazing at the white figure Levitation on the river, the man's eyes were filled with resentment and despair.
He uttered two "ha, ha!" sounds, then knelt down and died.
A man in black stepped forward and kicked the corpse of the man in blue. After confirming that the man was unable to resist, he searched the body.
"Chief, no letter found."
"It doesn't matter, the letter must be on Ni Yunrui!" The leader of the men in black looked at the white figure under the bridge and sneered.
" Erzi, Sanzi, you two dispose of Liuzi's body. Sizi, go and retrieve Ni Yunrui's body."
Then, the Human Reincarnation, pointed to the disheveled beggar under the willow tree north of Duanyang Bridge, and said, " Wuzi!"
"Understood!" The Wuzi naturally understood their leader's meaning: to silence them.
Ling Yi "watched" almost the entire process; it felt like watching a live stream with live comments.
It's still a live stream with voice-over and live chat.
It wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but things happened so suddenly that he simply couldn't leave.
If he had dared to leave earlier, men in black would probably have come immediately and killed him.
Moreover, he's not quite used to the "data barrage" yet, so even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't do it quickly.
He practiced for the entire afternoon, but after just a few steps, he became dizzy and disoriented by the massive amount of constantly updated data.
It will probably take a long time to practice.
Looking at the Wuzi approaching, Ling Yi sighed. Was this what they meant by "sitting at home and getting blamed from the sky"?
As the Wuzi approached, they realized that the beggar was actually not very old, only in his early twenties.
Not only that, this person's eyes were entirely white, clearly indicating that he was Blind Man.
"Brother, I'm just Blind Man!"
"Since you can hear and speak, you can both listen and talk, so naturally you cannot be allowed to live," Wuzi said coldly.
Ling Yi really couldn't refute that; what the other person said made sense.
"Are you really going to attack a Blind Man like me?"
"It's just bad luck that you're like this. Living like this is too hard for you. You might as well reincarnate soon, and maybe in your next life you'll be able to see this world properly."
With that, the Wuzi raised their longswords and, without any fancy moves, thrust them straight at Ling Yi's throat.
However, this sword strike, which should have been a sure thing, missed its mark.
The Blind Man beggar, as if he had foreseen the future, tilted his body in advance and dodged the sword.
"Why bully Blind Man?" Ling Yi shook his head.
Wuzi immediately sensed something was wrong. Just as he was about to swing his sword again, he felt his hand go empty, and the long sword inexplicably appeared in the Blind Man beggar's hand.
Then, he saw the Blind Man beggar clumsily raise his longsword and thrust it at him.
Such a slow, seemingly harmless sword strike almost made Wuzi laugh. He had more than a dozen ways to dodge it, but the next instant, everything went black before his eyes, and his consciousness was plunged into darkness.
From a third-party perspective.
The whole process became: the Wuzi swung their swords at Ling Yi, but Ling Yi dodged them. Then, the swords were taken from them, and they were killed by Ling Yi with a single sword strike.
Including the dialogue, it only lasts about ten seconds.
The basic plot is plausible, but the events leading to the sword being stolen and the deaths of the Wuzi finalists are quite bizarre.
Upon noticing something amiss, the leader of the men in black immediately led the remaining members of his group over.
"You killed my men!" the leader said with a grim expression.
"If someone wants to kill me, I can't just sit here and wait to die, can I? You don't need to be angry."
"Who are you!"
"I also want to know who I am, but knowing who I am doesn't seem to make any difference, since we're all going to face life and death eventually, aren't we?"
"That makes sense." The leader said, and suddenly thrust out his sword.
This sword strike was incredibly fast, ruthless, and extremely insidious; clearly, this leader was not a man of martial virtue.
But this sword still missed its mark.
Not only did he miss, but the sword in his hand also vanished, inexplicably appearing in the opponent's hand.
The leader was greatly alarmed and retreated several meters at lightning speed, as did the other three.
But Ling Yi wouldn't let them leave.
This world is so dangerous; he doesn't want to cause too much trouble. Isn't it better to just stay low-key and farm up his buffs and skills?
"Wouldn't it be better if we all kept to ourselves? Really, why bother?"
Ling Yi spoke, he Youyou swung his sword, just like before.
The four leaders, however, were on high alert and assumed defensive postures.
But Ling Yi didn't use a sword to kill them; the sword was just a decoy.
The real killer move is the " Click to Collect " function in the inventory.
Even Ling Yi himself found the feature somewhat terrifying after an afternoon of testing.
Once data is generated, it can be added to your inventory. This range is the data range, which is approximately 500 meters.
You can't put any living creature in the backpack; if any living creature goes in, it will die instantly.
In the afternoon, Ling Yi only tested a dozen or so fish in the river. As for people, that was the first time, and this was the second time.
Ling Yi's backpack now contains fifteen dead fish and over one hundred taels of loose silver.
As for where the silver fragments came from, they were naturally obtained by Ling Yi during his afternoon test of [ Click to Collect ].
Ling Yi didn't know if there were any costs or side effects to collecting living creatures, but he figured it was best to use such a powerful ability, which even terrified him, as little as possible.
No matter how you look at it, this backpack function seems completely out of place with the rest of the system.
Just then, the Bullet-Comment Data suddenly started scrolling again.
Ling Yi turned his head, as if searching for something.
This is also the drawback of Bullet-Comment Data.
The Bullet-Comment Data does not indicate direction, only distance, and only the horizontal near point distance and horizontal far point distance.
For example: { Ni Yunrui 425.200m - 426.810m} [ Click to View ][ Click to Collect ]
The difference between Ni Yunrui's near and far points is 1.61 meters. A person's width cannot reach 1.61 meters, but this height is exactly matched with a person's height.
Therefore, it can be determined that Ni Yunrui is currently lying down or prone.
This is the lateral distance between the near and far points.
To put it in more mathematical terms, it can only label two-dimensional data horizontally, and only has x1 and x2, without y coordinates.
Ni Yunrui wasn't dead yet, but her condition wasn't good either; the darts thrown by the leader of the group of men in black seemed to be poisoned.
Fortunately, the man in black carried the antidote.
Otherwise, this girl would probably be finished today.
As for how Ling Yi identified the antidote, [ Click to View ] to find out!
Ling Yi staggered for two minutes before finally reaching Ni Yunrui. After fumbling around for a moment, he stuffed a black pill into her mouth.
"That's all I can do to help you. The rest is up to Creation!"
After saying that, Ling Yi stood up, turned around and left. This was no place to stay any longer.
But just then, a small hand grabbed his ankle...
