Strange And Troubled Times: Eternal Life Begins From Marrying A Wife

Chapter 83: Late Night Sparring with Lin Xue, the County Magistrate May Be the Chief Protector

"Yes, sir!" Qin Feng bowed.

"Just now, the County Magistrate sent someone over. Accompany me to the county office!" Liu Ruyan said, then walked towards the door.

Qin Feng quickly followed behind Liu Ruyan.

Eternal Peace County Office.

County Office.

When Qin Feng and Liu Ruyan arrived at the county office, there were already three people sitting there.

One of them was the head of the escort bureau, Lin Ruwu.

One of them was a wealthy household in the city.

And one of them was the head of the Wang family, Wang Jianren, who was also Wang Jiankang's older brother.

"Anomaly's aura?"

As soon as Qin Feng entered the county office, he sensed an Anomaly's aura from Wang Jianren.

"This person should be from the Black Water Cult!"

"And he has also cultivated the Anomaly manual!"

Qin Feng had already made a judgment in his heart.

This Wang Jianren must be a Pseudo-Corpse Anomaly.

"Master Liu!"

The head of the escort bureau and the wealthy household stood up and greeted Liu Ruyan.

Only Wang Jianren sat there without any expression.

After Liu Ruyan and the others exchanged greetings, she sat down in the first seat on the left.

"Yes!"

A few minutes later, Qin Feng suddenly looked towards the back door of the hall.

Because he sensed a familiar Anomaly aura from there.

"It should be Ma Yingjie!"

Qin Feng made a guess in his heart.

Sure enough, Ma Yingjie walked in with his attendant, smiling.

"Greetings, County Magistrate!"

Liu Ruyan, Wang Jianren, and the others stood up one after another.

"Sorry for being late, everyone!"

As Ma Yingjie spoke, he sat down on the chair with a smile.

However, there was no trace of apology on Ma Yingjie's face.

"County Magistrate, may I ask why you urgently summoned us? What instructions do you have?"

Wang Jianren asked first.

Ma Yingjie did not speak, but picked up a cup of tea and slowly drank it.

The attendant immediately stepped forward and said, "Recently, there has been an increase in Anomalies outside Eternal Peace County, which has affected the safety of the people in Eternal Peace County!"

"The County Magistrate has decided to form several teams to eliminate the Anomalies outside Eternal Peace City!"

"Form teams to eliminate Anomalies?"

Qin Feng's face was full of astonishment.

He had already eliminated the Anomalies in Eternal Peace County several times.

Now it was difficult to see Drum Maker Anomalies and beggars in Eternal Peace County.

When the Anomalies were rampant, Ma Yingjie did not take any action.

Moreover, Ma Yingjie was a powerful Black Python Anomaly.

How could he form teams to exterminate Anomalies outside the city?

There must be some hidden conspiracy.

"What does the County Magistrate mean?"

Lin Ruwu quickly asked.

Ma Yingjie put down the teacup and said, "Don't worry, it's not difficult!"

"As long as each of you can provide ten Martial Artists to patrol outside Eternal Peace County at night!"

"County Magistrate, I am just a wealthy merchant, I don't have so many Martial Artists!"

The wealthy household quickly stood up and said.

"You only need to pay one hundred taels of silver each year!"

Ma Yingjie said.

"Thank you, County Magistrate!"

The wealthy household quickly took out a one hundred tael silver note from his pocket.

"County Magistrate, rest assured, I will go back and prepare ten Martial Artists to patrol outside the city!"

Wang Jianren stood up and said.

"Good, thank you, Lord Wang, for supporting my work!"

After Ma Yingjie finished speaking, he looked at Lin Ruwu.

"I wonder what Chief Lin thinks?"

Lin Ruwu's face was very unsightly.

It was very dangerous outside Eternal Peace County at night.

It was possible that all ten Martial Artists would die there.

But if Ma Yingjie doesn't agree.

Ma Yingjie will definitely make things difficult for him.

"I am willing to send Martial Artists for patrol!"

In the end, Lin Ruwu still gave in.

"Good!"

Ma Yingjie smiled and finally looked at Liu Ruyan.

"Master Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Ruyan remained silent for a moment before saying, "After I return, I will arrange for people to patrol!"

"Good!"

"Thank you all for your support!" Ma Yingjie stood up with a smile.

"Thirty Martial Artists!"

Qin Feng quickly made a guess in his heart.

They must be preparing flesh and blood for Ma Yingjie.

Ordinary villagers' flesh and blood can no longer satisfy Ma Yingjie.

That's why Ma Yingjie came up with this plan.

These thirty patrolling Martial Artists will definitely be consumed by Ma Yingjie.

"Ah!"

Qin Feng sighed softly.

At this moment, he had no way out.

After all, Ma Yingjie was a powerful Black Python.

Even if Qin Feng went all out, he wouldn't be a match for Ma Yingjie.

"Continue to cultivate!"

"Work hard to cultivate the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique to the Second Layer!"

Qin Feng felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

Training ground.

Qin Feng and Liu Ruyan returned to the training ground.

As soon as they arrived, Liu Ruyan announced the patrol.

"There are many anomalies outside the city!"

"Going out for patrol will probably cost lives!"

"Why suddenly patrol?"

"..."

The guards whispered to each other.

But no one was willing to go out for patrol.

After all, there were many anomalies outside Eternal Peace County at night.

If they encountered powerful anomalies...

They would definitely be in danger.

"Five hundred wen for each night of patrol!"

Liu Ruyan held up five fingers.

"What, five hundred wen for one night!"

"I'll do it!"

"There aren't many anomalies outside the city!"

"..."

Upon hearing the reward of five hundred wen for one night, more than ten guards stepped forward.

After all, their monthly salary was only one thousand two hundred wen.

One night was equivalent to half a month's income for them.

Looking at the guards who signed up, Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

It probably wouldn't be long before these people were consumed by Ma Yingjie.

Qin Feng also wanted to warn these people.

But they probably wouldn't believe Qin Feng's words.

After returning to the command post, Qin Feng silently began to cultivate the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique and the Eternal Peace Wind-chasing Steps.

His strength was still very weak.

Only by continuing to cultivate could he possibly defeat Ma Yingjie, Wang Jiankang, and Wang Jianren.

Just as Qin Feng was getting ready, the sound of a green bird came from a distance.

"Lin Xue is here!"

Upon hearing this sound, Qin Feng's face lit up with joy.

Because this was the secret signal agreed upon by Qin Feng and Lin Xue.

Whenever the sound of a green bird rang out, it meant that Lin Xue was nearby.

Qin Feng glanced at the courtyard and saw that Liang Weiwei and Hu Qingya were in their rooms, so he flew towards the outside.

A few minutes later, Qin Feng arrived at a courtyard.

This courtyard belonged to Lin Xue.

It was also the place where Qin Feng and Lin Xue had their rendezvous.

Qin Feng looked around and then flew into the courtyard.

Inside the house, Qin Feng saw Lin Xue taking a bath.

After more than an hour, Qin Feng finally walked out of Lin Xue's room.

At this moment, Lin Xue's favorability had reached seventy-five.

"I worked so hard, but only increased her favorability by five points!"

Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

Then he quickly headed towards Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

This time, Lin Xue sought Qin Feng for something other than their usual sparring sessions.

Lin Xue also told Qin Feng some big news.

Wang Jiankang's cultivation had encountered a problem and he needed a large amount of martial artists' flesh and blood to recover.

This patrol was arranged by Ma Yingjie to help Wang Jiankang in his cultivation.

Lin Xue told Qin Feng not to go on patrol outside the city.

At the same time, Qin Feng learned from Lin Xue that Wang Jiankang was a Half-Treant Anomaly.

The strange object Wang Jiankang cultivated was obtained from the divine tree on Soft Wind Mountain.

Before leaving, Lin Xue once again warned Qin Feng to be careful of Liang Xu.

"Why does Lin Xue have such a strong opinion of Master?"

Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

"Half-Treant Anomaly!"

Qin Feng already had an idea in his mind.

Half-Treant Anomalies were very afraid of realgar.

Once they came into contact with realgar, their strength would greatly decrease.

And if Wang Jiankang's cultivation had encountered a problem, then his strength was definitely not at its peak.

If Qin Feng took the opportunity to ambush Wang Jiankang while he was killing martial artists...

He might be able to kill Wang Jiankang.

In doing so, he could not only weaken the strength of the Black Water Cult.

But also obtain a large amount of life force.

"First, prepare the realgar!"

"Then wait for Wang Jiankang to go out!"

Qin Feng returned to the Commandery Lord's Mansion.

In the following days, Qin Feng didn't go anywhere and stayed in the courtyard practicing his techniques.

After several days of cultivation, all three of his techniques had made considerable progress.

[Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique: Great Accomplishment (1905/6000), withered wood meets spring, long life, increased vitality]

[Eternal Peace Chasing Wind Steps: Great Accomplishment (705/2500), light as a swallow, walking on the wind, elusive figure]

[Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique, First Layer (202/1500), guiding qi into the body, shedding mortal form]

However, Wang Jiankang still showed no signs of movement.

He had been hiding in Eternal Peace Medicine Manor all this time.

"It should be these few days!"

Qin Feng had already made a judgment in his heart.

After all, Wang Jiankang had encountered a major problem in his cultivation.

He couldn't suppress his injuries for too long.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

At this moment, the sound of drums came from afar.

"The Drum Maker Anomaly has arrived, it's time to go back!"

Qin Feng packed up while preparing to return home.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a powerful Anomaly aura came from a distance.

"This is the Anomaly aura from Wang Jiankang!"

Qin Feng looked at the depths of the estate with a face full of surprise.

Just now, he had already sensed the Anomaly aura from Wang Jiankang.

Sure enough, not long after, a black figure flew out from the depths of the estate and quickly headed towards Eternal Peace County.

"Tonight, I will kill Wang Jiankang first!"

Qin Feng picked up his Flowing Fire Blade and realgar, and quickly followed behind Wang Jiankang.

After more than ten minutes, Qin Feng followed Wang Jiankang to the top of the city wall in Eternal Peace County.

After arriving at the city wall, Wang Jiankang stood there quietly.

His gaze was fixed on the area below the city wall.

Following Wang Jiankang's gaze, there were more than ten martial artists sitting there drinking and chatting.

These people were the martial artists patrolling for the Wang family.

"This patrol task is really easy!"

"Who says it's not? Just sitting here drinking, we can earn so much silver!"

"It's fifteen taels a month!"

"With so much silver, we can drink flower wine several times!"

"..."

Many martial artists were very happy.

This kind of patrol task was very easy.

Just sit below the city wall every day, drink and chat.

Not only was there no danger, but they also received a high reward.

"Wuwuwu"

Wang Jiankang suddenly emitted a series of wailing sounds.

Immediately after, Wang Jiankang's body underwent a tremendous transformation.

Not only did his hands turn into tree branches, even his head became a giant tree.

"What's going on?"

"Where is the wailing sound coming from?"

Many guards stood up, their faces filled with confusion as they looked around.

After looking around for a while, they didn't find anything.

"Thud!"

At this moment, an arrow shot from afar.

The speed of this arrow was extremely fast, and in an instant, it hit the gate of the camp, producing a loud sound.

"There's trouble!"

"Everyone, be on guard!"

"..."

The guards put down their wine cups, picked up their weapons, and looked around with vigilance.

"Swish, swish!"

At this moment, more than ten huge tree branches flew over from a distance.

These branches were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the guards.

Fortunately, these guards were already on the defensive.

Except for three who reacted too slowly, the rest of them all managed to dodge this attack.

"Not good, there's an Anomaly!"

"Everyone, be careful!"

"A Half-Treant Anomaly is nearby!"

"..."

The faces of the guards changed drastically.

Just a moment ago, they were drinking and saying that there was no danger here, and that they were making easy money from the bounty.

But in the next moment, a powerful Half-Treant Anomaly appeared.

If it weren't for the reminder from the arrow, all of them would probably have been captured by the Half-Treant Anomaly.

"Be careful!"

The captain of the Wang family guards loudly reminded his brothers nearby.

As soon as the captain's words fell, several huge tree branches flew over again.

In the span of a few zhang, the huge branches arrived with a tearing sound!

"Hungry Tiger Saber Law!"

The guard didn't dare to be careless and raised his long knife to face the flying branches.

"Bang!"

The long knife collided with the branches, producing a loud roar.

The huge branches didn't cause any damage.

Instead, the guard was sent flying.

"Thud!"

With a loud noise, the guard fell to the ground.

Before the guard could scream, he was dragged down by another branch.

"Run!"

"The Half-Treant Anomaly is coming!"

"This Half-Treant Anomaly is too powerful!"

"..."

The remaining guards quickly dropped their weapons and ran towards the distance.

Seeing the fleeing guards, the captain of the guards' face changed drastically.

If they joined forces to fight against the Half-Treant Anomaly, there might be a glimmer of hope.

But running away with the Half-Treant Anomaly on their backs would definitely result in them being picked off one by one.

Sure enough, in the next moment, the sound of breaking through the air came, and all the fleeing guards were swept away by the branches.

Within the entire camp, only the captain of the guards stood there with a long sword in hand.

Looking at the many Wang family guards in the camp, Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

Originally, he wanted to rely on the guards to help him.

Then he could easily kill Wang Jiankang.

But these guards were completely useless.

Even though he used the arrow as a reminder.

In just a few minutes, there was only one captain of the guards left.

And judging from the appearance of the captain, he wouldn't be able to last a few rounds.

But fortunately, when Wang Jiankang was sucking the guards' blood, he would stay in one place.

This gave Qin Feng an opportunity to attack.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Arrow after arrow flashed with cold light as they flew towards Wang Jiankang.
