Chapter 10 Killing the Master

Chen Shi lowered his head, unfurling the talisman paper, and took out a small knife from the book box. He stood up and walked towards Li Xiaoding. The nearby Jin Yi Wei, seeing the knife in his hand, was momentarily stunned before quickly realizing and shouted, "What are you doing? He has a knife!" The other Jin Yi Wei, upon hearing this, quickly gathered their true qi, divine light surging behind their heads as the divine altar appeared, with the divine fetus sitting within, each preparing their spells, rushing towards this direction! Li Xiaoding, also startled by the shout "he has a knife," fell off the reclining chair, filled with uncertainty, and without further ado, took out a paper talisman. The talisman ignited with a buzzing sound, and instantly, a magical power erupted. In a moment, he was enveloped in golden light, as if a large bell had been overturned to protect him! Chen Shi's face turned pale with fear, trembling all over, the small knife in his hand unconsciously fell to the ground, and he hurriedly shouted, "I want to use dog blood to draw talismans! Don’t kill me! Brother Li Guang, save me!" Seven Jin Yi Wei had already prepared their spells, upon hearing this, each of them halted, spells withheld. Li Xiaoding also got up from the ground, and upon hearing, quickly looked towards Li Guang, who was also preparing a spell to deal with Chen Shi. Realizing the misunderstanding, he quickly smiled and said, "Misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding! Young Master, drawing talismans indeed requires black dog blood as a catalyst. Black dog blood has strong yang energy, combined with vermilion, makes the talisman's power even more potent." Li Xiaoding kicked a black dog nearby and scolded with a laugh, "I thought someone was going to kill me, turns out it’s just to deal with this beast. Damn it, you scared me!" He kicked the black dog again, laughing, "Why don’t you roll over and accept your death?" The black dog, having been kicked twice, wagged its tail disgruntledly, complaining about the fickle nature of humans, who just moments ago praised it as a good dog, now cursing at it. The black dog walked towards Chen Shi, who sighed in relief and bent down to pick up the small knife. At the same time, Li Guang and the other seven Jin Yi Wei also breathed a sigh of relief, dispersing their prepared spells. Six of them dismissed their divine altars, turning to prepare to do their own tasks, while only Li Guang's divine altar remained floating behind him, not yet letting down his guard. Chen Shi bent down to pick up the knife, his peripheral vision taking in the positions of the seven around him. Their raised feet, the stances they prepared to turn, were all clearly imprinted in his mind. "Four of them are within a yard of me, two are over a yard away, and Li Guang is the closest. Now is the best time to strike!" Chen Shi's palm gripped the knife handle, a glint flashing in his eyes, his first target was Li Guang! Although Li Guang still maintained his divine altar and divine fetus, he was confident he could deliver a fatal blow before Li Guang could release his spell! "Is this Li Xiaoding's camp?" Suddenly, a melodious voice came. A girl dressed in bright red sand pants with a purple skirt came to the camp's entrance, carrying a large fruit basket, smiling, "I am Ziyue from the Ding family, accompanying the Fourth Young Lady out for hunting. My Fourth Young Lady is still setting up camp, having heard that Young Master Li is also coming for hunting and spring outings, so she sent me over to connect our families and see if you brothers could help us set up our camp." Chen Shi's expression changed slightly, gripping the knife handle and standing up, his eyes devoid of killing intent. This maid named Ziyue coming made him lose the best opportunity to strike. He could indeed take action the moment everyone was distracted by Ziyue, but Ziyue outside the camp could prepare her spells in time! Even if he killed the seven Jin Yi Wei, he would still die at Ziyue's hands, and he wouldn’t even have the chance to kill Li Xiaoding. Moreover, even if Ziyue did not take action, if she escaped, the fact that he killed Li Xiaoding would be exposed, bringing disaster to his grandfather and even to Huangpo Village! This was something he absolutely could not tolerate. "I can only give up this opportunity." Chen Shi called for the black dog and walked towards the table. Ziyue only came to visit, with the intention of bringing the Ding and Li families closer, she shouldn’t stay long, and he still had other opportunities. On the other side, a Jin Yi Wei hurriedly let Ziyue in, smiling, "My young master was just saying he wanted to visit you, didn’t expect the young lady to come first." Saying this, he reached out to take the fruit basket from Ziyue's hands. Ziyue took out a visiting post and walked towards Li Xiaoding, smiling, "Young Master Li is quite the popular figure in Shui Niu County! Last time at the county examination, Young Master Li made quite the impression. My Fourth Young Lady also said she didn’t expect Young Master Li to hide his strength, being so low-key... I am Ziyue, pleased to meet Young Master Li, this is a visiting post from my young lady." She had a graceful figure and beautiful features, her makeup adding a touch of charm, causing the Jin Yi Wei who were supposed to be working to return, hoping to converse with her for a few more words, getting closer. Spring outings were inherently activities for men and women to find closeness; otherwise, who would come to the mountains to hunt? Chen Shi sat on a stool, bent over, preparing to bleed the black dog, and suddenly froze. "Everyone is not far apart again, the best opportunity to strike has appeared, but there’s an extra Ziyue in the middle... Damn Ziyue!" The black dog gritted its teeth, somewhat unwilling. Its old master would give it a knife, and then toss it a piece of exotic beast meat to make up for it, but the young master wouldn’t give it meat to compensate for the knife. It closed its eyes, preparing to endure the knife, when suddenly the wind roared, and with a whoosh, Chen Shi with the knife had already disappeared from in front of it. The black dog was stunned, just about to turn its head, when Chen Shi's knife had already pierced Li Guang's throat, pulling hard, blood sprayed out! Li Guang's eyes widened, his mouth opened to call out, but Chen Shi's hand, already holding the bloody knife, was at the back of the next Jin Yi Wei, the sharp knife piercing through that Jin Yi Wei's back and into his heart, precisely avoiding the ribs. Then, pulling out the knife and turning around, he arrived in front of that Jin Yi Wei, the knife piercing through his chest and into his heart again, stabbing once more, also precisely avoiding the ribs. Chen Shi pulled out the knife but found it slippery, the handle slipping from his grasp, unable to pull it out. The knife was covered in blood, particularly slippery. Without a second thought, he took a step out, covering a distance of about a yard, spread his fingers and stabbed into the eyes of the third Jin Yi Wei, puncturing his eyeballs, fingers digging into the skull, stirring his brain. Chen Shi withdrew his fingers, twisted his waist, turned around, and at the same time stepped out with his left foot, by the time his left foot landed, he had already covered a distance of eight feet, and as soon as he landed, his right foot had already kicked up, landing on the neck of the fourth Jin Yi Wei. This kick was like a large cleaver, striking his neck with such force that it twisted the Jin Yi Wei's neck, producing a cracking sound of broken bones. The man’s body tilted towards the ground, but before his face could hit the ground, Chen Shi had already leaped over him, both palms crashing heavily onto the ears of the fifth Jin Yi Wei, instantly causing blood to spurt from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets! At the same time, only then did Li Guang's cry come, but accompanying the cry was a gurgling sound, mixed with blood flowing out. Li Guang raised his hand to cover his neck, only then realizing that his neck had almost been severed by Chen Shi's knife, with only the muscles of his nape still attached. "This kid is so fast!" A thought flashed in his mind, "Why is he trying to kill us?" His vision was fading to black, only seeing Chen Shi's small figure lunging towards the sixth person, whose face still bore a look of shock, clearly still not having come to his senses. Chen Shi's right hand curled four fingers, making a fist that was not quite a fist, suddenly exerting force, smashing into the chest of the sixth Jin Yi Wei, a crunching sound of bones breaking echoed. That Jin Yi Wei spat blood, but the divine altar behind his head had already formed, only he had yet to mobilize his spell, Chen Shi's left hand pressed against his face, an enormous force erupted, making him feel as if an elephant was pressing down on his face! "Bang!" His occipital bone slammed against the ground's stones, both stone and skull shattered! Chen Shi then bent his knees, squatting down, his gaze falling on the seventh Jin Yi Wei. That Jin Yi Wei mobilized his true qi, activating the divine altar, the divine fetus within the altar revived, instantly filling his body with divine power. But as soon as this divine power enveloped him, Chen Shi's knee had already violently slammed into his groin, crushing his manhood along with two dangling items! His body was propelled by this force, floating upwards, head down, feet up, crashing back, but before he could fall, the tip of Chen Shi's other foot had already kicked against his temple. Crack. His neck tilted to one side. At this moment, there was a thud, the sound of Li Guang falling to the ground, the second and third Jin Yi Wei also swaying, about to topple down. Suddenly, a shadow flashed, and Chen Shi had returned to the front of the second Jin Yi Wei, reaching out to pull the knife out. No one in the room had anticipated this turn of events, and by the time they reacted, it was already too late. Ziyue was even more shocked, just as she was about to activate the divine fetus, suddenly her chest ached, and looking down, two blood-stained hands had already gripped her head and lower jaw. Ziyue's vision shook violently, her sight abruptly crossing from her chest to her back. Chen Shi's hands twisted the woman’s neck, and before she could fall, his hand had already reached her chest, pulling out the small knife from her heart. "Thud." "Thud." "Thud." One corpse after another fell down. Suddenly, with a buzzing sound, Chen Shi turned his head to look, only to see Li Xiaoding was igniting the golden bell talisman, the golden bell talisman burning, forming a bell shape with dazzling golden light. Li Xiaoding trembled, his eyes filled with terror, staring at Chen Shi standing there. He was a practitioner at the divine fetus realm, and if he activated his spell, he could easily kill Chen Shi. But he was too terrified, his mind blank, unable to recall a single spell he had learned before. In fact, he even forgot he was a practitioner, forgetting he still had the divine fetus! — Next chapter will be updated at six in the afternoon!
