Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!-Chapter 14 - This Sword Training Was Not in Vain

After that, Duan Yun and the accountant went to check the accounts, leaving only the "young cubs" dead without closing their eyes.

After coming out of the accounting room, Duan Yun confirmed that the County Magistrate was also the main culprit behind the unreasonable protection fees.

So tonight, he had to go and kill the County Magistrate too.

Afterward, Duan Yun left.

The accountant watched him go.

Even now, he was utterly confused, even feeling quite surreal.

If it weren't for the severe pain in his severed palm telling him this wasn't a dream, he couldn't understand why someone would kill, then check the accounts, and leave.

Could it be, he really went to kill the County Magistrate?

But thinking about this person's actions, he felt it was very likely.

Where did this Demon emerge from?

Because the Gang Leader Yue Langlang was discussing matters with the high-level gang members at the time, the ordinary gang members wisely avoided that courtyard. Moreover, they were noisy while drinking, so aside from a few guards who heard the commotion and were instantly killed by Duan Yun, the rest inside were not disturbed.

This was also why Duan Yun called the Xuanxiong Gang a makeshift troupe.

The organization was too loose.

After Duan Yun left, he killed everyone he encountered on the roads.

Until his hands became numb, then he walked towards the outside.

When exiting the main gate, the gang member guarding the gate saw Duan Yun and asked, "Doctor, how is the Gang Leader's illness?"

Duan Yun nodded and said, "It's fine now."

"That's good, that's good," the guard said with a happy face.

...

Now it was completely dark.

Just like last time when he counter-killed Wang Li, this time Duan Yun still felt the nervous excitement of killing, with adrenaline surging.

There was a sense of exhilaration too.

If last time killing Wang Li was for self-preservation, this time he was acting for the people, Acting for Heaven!

To be more specific, he was temporarily eliminating an unreasonable fee.

The breeze swept over his body, and he felt life fading easily under his fingers.

Whether it was any elite member or the red-dressed Gang Leader of the Xuanxiong Gang, they weren't much stronger than the mosquitoes in the latrine.

Is this all to the Xuanxiong Gang Leader?

A master?

But Duan Yun knew that he had only done half of eradicating the unreasonable fees; he had to proceed with the other half soon.

After asking for directions to the County Magistrate's Mansion, Duan Yun continued on his way.

The moon came out. After killing the County Magistrate, he still had to go back to eat, practice his sword - a busy night indeed.

...

At night, the County Magistrate of Lishui City drank a large cup of Dragon Tiger Wine and then started being busy with his newly married concubine.

After ten breaths, the County Magistrate got off the concubine, feeling he still retained his youthful vigor.

The concubine gave him a reproachful look and then turned over to sleep.

At this moment, a maid's voice came from outside— "Sir, the doctor you requested has arrived."

The County Magistrate was somewhat baffled and said, "What doctor?"

"The urologist."

While talking, the door was pushed open.

Both the County Magistrate and his concubine were startled.

The County Magistrate reacted quickly. His plump body rolled instantly, protecting the screaming concubine in front of him.

"Who are you and what do you want!"

"I came to kill you," Duan Yun said seriously.

"Why do you want to kill me?"

"Because your protection fees are unreasonable."

"What??? People, com..."

A flash of white light, and a clear blood hole appeared at the forehead of the County Magistrate.

Duan Yun withdrew his finger and walked straight out.

In the deep night, the courtyard soon filled with the piercing screams of maids and the concubine.

The County Magistrate lay there, his eyes wide open, even more unwilling to close them in death than the Xuanxiong Gang Leader Yue Langlang.

In his final moment, he even thought it was because of unequal profit-sharing with the Xuanxiong Gang.

He was the County Master, entitled to a thirty-seven split!

"Stop!"

As Duan Yun walked out, suddenly someone blocked his way.

"Breaking into the County Master Mansion, why don't you surrender!"

The blocker was a skinny man, temples bulging like a pigeon's egg, looking fiercely formidable.

"A master?"

Duan Yun looked solemn.

This must be the toughest opponent he had encountered so far tonight.

The thin man was truly a skilled fighter hired by the County Magistrate for a hefty price. Not to mention this tiny Lishui Town, he even had some reputation in larger cities.

If it weren't for old times' sake, he wouldn't even bother to bully around in such a small town.

The next moment, the thin man charged over, his robe fluttering loudly, creating an imposing momentum.

Duan Yun didn't dare hold back, raising his sword finger and going all out.

Under the moonlight, the black-robed thin man showed vigorous energy and agile movements, executing sixteen dodging maneuvers within mere moments, but was then pierced twenty-one times by Duan Yun's Sword Qi, nearly turning him into a sieve.

Looking at him convulsing in a pool of blood, Duan Yun commented: "What's the point of scaring people."

After leaving the County Magistrate's residence, Duan Yun went to the riverside, took off all his clothes, shoes, socks, and mask, and set them on fire with a Fire Stick.

Afterward, he changed into the clothes he had brought with him, kicked the ash from his burnt clothes and shoes into the water, and then left along the branching creek.

Water is best at washing away traces and scents.

Even Duan Yun himself was surprised by how adept he had become at this.

It could only be said that the novels and TV shows he watched in his past life provided ample theoretical support.

After taking a detour back home, Duan Yun felt hungry.

Really hungry.

He started cooking noodles.

The freshly boiled noodles were served with broth, topped with hot chili oil, sprinkled finely with Sichuan pepper powder and fresh scallions bought during the day, making it delicious and appetizing.

Duan Yun enjoyed his meal greatly, and his mood was rather good.

Because he knew that for now, he wouldn't need to pay those unreasonable protection fees, nor fear the Xuanxiong Gang coming after him anymore. His practice with the sword wasn't for nothing.

Duan Yun felt exhilarated.

An unprecedented exhilaration!

So, solving unsolvable problems meant eliminating the people causing those problems, which felt this good.

Pretty nice.

This lousy world wasn't completely useless after all, because he possessed the power to solve problems...

...

Early next morning, Duan Yun woke up as usual, full of life, took a cold shower, and changed into clean underwear.

Like the last time when he killed Wang Li, yesterday he had killed people, many people, and he thought he would have nightmares.

But instead, he had a spring dream.

Again, with several wives, several times over.

Unlike last time when he killed the unremarkable Wang Li, by noon the entire Lishui Town was all abuzz.

Many people had died the previous night, and they were significant figures.

The Gang Leader of the Xuanxiong Wolf Gang, Yue Langlang, and the County Magistrate Wang Defu had both died violently overnight; one at the gang's residence along with almost everyone else there, the other at his own mansion, changing the underworld and lawful scene of Lishui City drastically.

By midday, even the vegetable-selling old ladies were discussing this.

"Who has such capability? To kill all those from the Xuanxiong Wolf Gang and the County Magistrate in one night."

"Who knows, maybe some passing master?"

"Do we even have such masters in our small place like Lishui City?"

"But a master killing people should have a reason, right?"

"The ones who master martial arts are always extreme, they don't give a damn reason for killing."

"It's said that the Xuanxiong Gang was charging unreasonable protection fees."

"What? That's a reason to kill? Isn't collecting protection fees a perfectly normal thing? It must be the work of an Evil Demon..."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, beware of the disaster that comes from loose lips."

"Will the Grandpas of the Xuanxiong Gang still collect protection fees next month?"

"The fees were collected on the fifteenth, and before the sixteenth came, both the Gang Leader and the County Magistrate were killed, who would dare to collect now."

"Ah, really no one left to collect, what are we supposed to do now."

...

For a time, there was widespread anxiety.

Listening to these people's conversations, Duan Yun couldn't help but frown.

It was apparent that these neighbors had gotten used to the protection fees, so much so that they felt uneasy without them.

They would need some time to adjust.

Friends who often kill know that after committing a murder, there's always the urge to revisit the crime scene.

Duan Yun was no exception.

He went back and joined the crowd to watch the hustle and bustle.

To his surprise, he saw a familiar face!

That busty Divine Catcher from the Qingqi Bureau, he wasn't sure if she was the older sister or younger sister.

This caused Duan Yun some concern.

Perhaps these sisters might have a way to find him?
