Chapter 343 Thin World

We walked all the way to the largest prison in Daming Prefecture.

This place is only three miles away from the royal palace. In recent years, all the criminals from the martial arts world who were imprisoned in the nearby Demon-Suppressing Tower, as well as criminals from the twelve counties of Yizhou, have been transferred here, causing the prison to be overcrowded.

“Boss, please follow me.”

“Don’t use onomatopoeia when speaking next time.”

“clear.”

A vicious knight was leading the way in front quite proudly. He had received “earnest teachings” from the boss. This glorious resume alone would allow him to be arrogant among the vicious and unruly people for a while, and he could be said to be favored by the emperor.

The prison was dark and cold, with a foul stench. There were six underground floors in total. Countless green eyes like hungry wolves were looking towards the aisle, most of them were focused on a certain person with white-blonde hair. His extremely handsome appearance directly detonated the long-dormant malice.

But before the obscene words surged, a dark red wave swept through the prison inside and outside. The deterrence of the Lord’s will descended, and the creatures under the silver had no power to resist. Except for a few individuals, the prisoners all foamed at the mouth and fell into a coma.

In the deepest part of the prison, the head of the Yan family slowly raised his head. His ragged prison uniform was extremely dirty. The giant who once had the final say in Yizhou had now fallen to the lowest point in his life.

“Life is like a dream.”

The head of the Yan family looked at the military merit marquis outside the fence. He was young, handsome, strong, and powerful. He stared at him for a while and suddenly laughed, looking carefree and unrestrained.

“I am willing to accept defeat. I have repeatedly harmed you, and now this end is nothing but fate. When a man is about to die, his words are good. My Lord, why don’t you listen to it? I see that the situation in Yizhou is turbulent. The Marquis’s Mansion is acting recklessly. Sooner or later, it will be in a state of panic. The wolves will bite back. It is better to avoid the edge for the time being…”

“You want me to stay out of the spotlight?”

Jiang He raised his eyebrows and interrupted the other party’s dying struggle.

“Kill him.” Zhuang Ya took out a black rose from her sleeve.

Patriarch Yan wanted to continue speaking, but Jiang He no longer had any interest in listening.

boom!
The bullet killed the head of the Yan family. His body fell backwards, but no blood flowed out. His soul fell apart unknowingly.

Bang bang bang!
Jiang He took the black rose from Zhuang Ya and walked along the aisle to kill the prisoners one by one. Many cells were packed with dozens or even hundreds of people.

The upper-class aristocratic families He and Yan had 910 direct and collateral descendants, and more than 3,200 family generals and private soldiers.

After the implementation of the new AI policy, there are 670 officials whose embezzlement value is greater than their hidden contribution value.

There are 3,455 gangsters.

There were 4,700 criminals who violated the “Great Prince Law” of the Marquisate.

There were 13,900 direct and collateral branches of nineteen middle-ranking families, private soldiers, inferior servants, and family members and in-laws.

There were more than 12,000 criminals, bandits, and thieves transferred from prisons in the twelve counties of Yizhou.

The diehards in the Anbei Army who obstructed reorganization…

The daimyo clan leader personally reported the opponents…

As they were killed along the way, seemingly uninjured corpses fell to the ground in large numbers. The original purpose of building this largest prison in Daming Prefecture was to detain a huge number of northern barbarian captives, but so far, this was the only time that the cells were filled.

The execution was not completed until the evening.

Jiang He rubbed his wrist, his energy was almost exhausted. This number of criminals was simply appalling. The laws of the Marquisate collided with the current situation in Yizhou, and it was completely forced forward by violence. From officials to village heads, there were countless opponents. If the Black Rose did not need materials, the Evil Army would have launched a purge on the spot.

“It’s almost as big as the Hongwu case.”

Jiang He walked out of the prison. It was getting dark outside. He led Zhuang Ya back to the Anbei Governor’s Mansion. Black Rose had been promoted.

Several generals in charge of guarding the prison had already turned pale, and thousands of vicious soldiers carried the corpses away one by one. Except for the founding period of Daqian, such large-scale implicate was extremely rare.

……

Prince Anbei’s Mansion.

A secret letter passed through many hands and finally arrived in the study.

In just one week, King Anbei seemed to have lost his original ambition, and the white hair on his temples spread uncontrollably. He thought again and again and reached out to open the secret letter.

After the evil army entered the city, Pingluan Hou stripped the royal palace of the functions of the governor of Anbei, and he took over the governor’s powers to govern the military and political affairs of Yizhou. The 160,000 Anbei troops were disbanded from top to bottom, and eventually streamlined and reorganized into 100,000 evil troops, which continued to be stationed in various places in Yizhou.

Throughout the whole process, he chose to cooperate fully, on the premise that his niece could marry into the Marquis’s Mansion and her life and property would be protected.

To this day, the counties and prefectures outside Daming Prefecture have already seen countless deaths and the destruction of countless families.

But when King Anbei read the secret letter word by word, his face still turned extremely pale.

“Over 70,000 people, all killed!?”

“How dare you do that? How dare you do that!”

“Isn’t Jiang Wuyang afraid of being punished by God?”

Grandma Jiudu quickly handed over a bowl of medicine and comforted him, “Don’t panic, Your Majesty. They have already agreed to the marriage.”

Prince Anbei took the porcelain bowl tremblingly. The chief priest had no idea what 70,000 people meant, but as a powerful prince, he knew it very well. Even if there were only two or three thousand people lined up and dressed, they could fill up an entire parade ground.

“I regret it. This is a huge offense against the world!”

“Jiang Wuyang will be infamous for eternity!”

The Nine Poisonous Granny bowed her head and reminded, “Your Highness, you have no way to retreat. The Princess of Le’an County had already arrived at the Marquis’ Mansion before dusk. In addition, the Anbei Governor’s Office issued an order to announce that you, Du Chang, and General Hei will jointly command 100,000 evil soldiers and horses.”

King Anbei sat there in a daze. The military power in his hands sounded good, but from the garrison commander to the squad leader of a small flag, all of them were occupied by the villagers who called themselves Shuguang and Esha. He was just a memorial to stabilize the situation.

“The sky is falling!”

A bird retreats into the night, and every move of the monitored object will be reported to Commander Wu truthfully. As for the final “Tian Qing ye”, it can be simply translated as “It’s over.”

……

The night falls, fireworks alley.

A dozen or so people dressed simply but with jade waists and golden fingers gathered together. Everyone’s face was extremely serious, and some of them even had murderous intent and hatred in their eyes.

A middle-aged man in plain clothes walked into the room and sat in the main seat.

The owner of the Misty Rain Tower said tiredly, “Everyone, there is only one chance to assassinate. I believe everyone is dissatisfied with the Peaceful Marquis. Qingzhou in the eastern part of Daqian is the territory of the current regent, King An Dong. At this time, the regent has dispatched three master assassins to sneak in secretly, just to kill with one strike. I want to avenge the death of my lover and will never turn back.”

A few years ago, on the eve of the Jianchi Mountain Sword Contest, the Marquis Pingluan broke into the palace and killed Madam Chen, and the account has not yet been settled.

The young master of the Bian family, who was born in a middle-class family, said in a low voice: “The Marquis of Pingluan destroyed the city wall with one strike. He was truly a master of martial arts. We didn’t see it with our own eyes. Maybe there was some exaggeration due to rumors. But he is at least a great master. Even if the assassin doesn’t need to fight head-on, he still needs the help of magic weapons.”

Among the dozen people, the orphan of the He family presented a dagger without sheath, which was of excellent quality.

There are nine magical weapons in the world, most of which are in the hands of great masters, and a few of them are scattered around. Every time they appear in the world, they will cause a bloody storm.

“A sword without a sheath can kill with one blow.”

The master of Yanyu Tower stroked the bronze sword. With his own strength, which was the fourth best in the world, and this peerless magic weapon containing a strange poison, and if a few more masters were willing to sacrifice themselves, there might be a glimmer of hope to assassinate the grand master.

The young master of the Bian family stood up, clasped his fists and said to the people around him, “The Marquis of Pingluan is about to get married, and this is the only chance for the person beside him to reveal his whereabouts. I am willing to take the risk and hope that you will recover Yizhou after the success and not disappoint the heroes.” The orphan surnamed He gritted his teeth and said, “As long as the deep hatred of hundreds of people in my He family can be avenged, I will follow your lead in the future!”

Everyone expressed their opinions. They were just representatives. Behind them there were still a large number of remnant forces who were dissatisfied with the new policy and the Marquis’ Mansion. They all planned to fight to the death by connecting together. The new policy was too harsh. The requirement that the land should not exceed one thousand acres was unbearable.

The owner of the Misty Rain Tower clasped his fists and said, “Please wait patiently for good news. The Qingzhou army will soon arrive and will surely restore light to Yizhou and clear water to the turbid state.”

“It’s extreme, it’s extreme.”

…….
Late at night, Anbei Governor’s Mansion.

In the large house with three entrances and three exits, Jiang He sat alone in the yard, patiently practicing the solar breathing method. From dusk till now, he had practiced for ten hours in a row, which made the vortex of air in his body become thicker.

The daily fixed practice is over.

Jiang He exhaled like a sword, turned his head and stretched out his hand.

Noticing the movement, the little girl in white who was dozing off on a rattan chair not far away suddenly sat up straight.

She picked up the large box beside her and searched through it, then quickly turned around and handed over three volumes of grandmaster skills from the royal palace’s treasury.

The number of martial arts books had grown to 180,000, and now covered the entire courtyard.

“I have practiced until my body is like a crane, and I have two boxes of scriptures under a thousand pine trees.”

“Grandmaster’s technique – White Crane Mysterious Technique.”

“The clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle. The clouds and water are the true scriptures.”

“The Nine Provinces lift heavy things with ease, the Nine Provinces True Dragon Jue.”

Jiang He flipped through the pages of the book at a terrifying speed, but before each flip, he activated his divine thinking.

A page of the meridian flow diagram of the White Crane Mystical Art appeared before his eyes. The book said: Ordinary people can master it in ten years. A genius can master it in one year. A white crane can master it in three months.

At the speed of gods’ thinking, time seems to stand still.

A green leaf falls from the branch.

Jiang He comprehended the mysteries of the White Crane Profound Art, and the Overlord’s body gave him a 100% comprehension bonus.

When the green leaves fell to the ground, he had already read through this martial arts secret book completely and mastered it.

“Normally it would take three months of practice to comprehend all the essentials, but now it only takes three seconds.”

Jiang He burned the copy and gained a thorough understanding of the great master’s book. Thinking about it, it was equivalent to spending dozens of days, but in reality it was only a few seconds.

At the same time, excessive thinking caused some damage to the brain, but the ultimate self-healing could easily repair it.

“If one can comprehend millions of martial arts, the martial arts that are ultimately transformed will definitely be of extremely high quality.”

Jiang He took out the Knight King’s skin from the portable temple. As energy was poured in, countless alchemical patterns emerged. This was the body of an alchemical knight created by a top master.

The divine mind started working, and he began to imitate the above techniques. Faced with the alchemical results that had already been put into actual combat, stealing and adjusting them was much easier than creating from scratch. All the skins were in front of him, and there was no secret at all for him.

Thinking time, thirty days passed.

Ultimate Self-Healing consumes energy to repair brain damage.

Jiang He raised his right hand, and a subtle alchemical pattern appeared on his palm. He took the first step on the road to becoming a symbol of warrior. This alchemical pattern was very similar to the one on the Knight King’s body.

“Martial Mark, the starting point of the body of the Alchemy Martial Saint.”

“The estimated extraordinary spearmanship is equivalent to the collection of extraordinary knowledge in the entire ancient martial arts world.”

“The upper limit of the extraordinary in this world is below gold. As the culmination of all, I’m afraid both of them can reach the ultimate level.”

Jiang He calmed down the surging energy in his body. If he could get the two expected gains, then this mission would not be in vain, especially the extraordinary gun skills, which were enough to significantly enhance his lethality.

“Aya, give me a few more books.”

“Ok.”

Zhuang Ya handed over a few secret books, then got up and went to the back kitchen, and brought back a pot of dragon blood wine that had been prepared in advance. Because it was soaked in ice water, the surface of the silver pot gleamed faintly under the moonlight.

Jiang He drank and read books. Even the experience left behind by inferior martial artists could serve as a novel way of thinking. Different perspectives of observation could expand one’s thinking in understanding martial arts, just like calligraphy, painting, and music in the world.

In the morning, the sun rises.

Repeatedly repairing the brain caused the ultimate self-healing to use up all its energy. Because he was still suffering from the curse of the earth, Jiang He chose to activate the final time ring to refresh the energy to full value.

At noon, the energy was exhausted again.

After Jiang He activated the time ring, he slightly controlled the reading speed. In order to ensure his own safety, he tended to keep a refresh opportunity as a trump card to avoid any unexpected situation.

In the evening, the energy level is exhausted.

On Jiang He’s right hand, more than ten thousand martial arts patterns spread across the palm and back of his hand. Countless martial arts essentials echoed in his mind, making him look rarely tired, and his face turned pale.

“I can’t hold on any longer. I need to take a break.”

Jiang He burned the copy in his hand, sat cross-legged and began to practice the solar breathing method.

Ten hours passed and the night deepened.

Finally, the knight’s time rings have been filled.

After Jiang He had rested, he took decisive action and picked up the martial arts book again.

……

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.

One hundred and eight thousand martial arts books were all turned to ashes. Jiang He’s right arm was filled with mysterious and profound martial arts patterns. After the power was dissipated, these patterns disappeared under the skin. He looked inward into the spiritual world and found that there were flashes of golden light between the dark clouds and the sea.

The high-intensity comprehension and learning have tempered the spirit like never before, and the golden will is being nurtured.

“Not only that.”

Jiang He clasped his hands together, strands of energy lingering in front of his chest, vaguely forming a sphere of energy, but it was not refined enough for the time being, and had a form without substance.

“Golden Will and…Dan Jin have begun to show their power.”

“Less the world and make yourself fat.”

“But if I don’t sleep, I feel like I’m going to die.”

Jiang He closed his eyes sincerely. For him now, sleep is still an important means of self-cultivation, and the most important thing is that it is “good quality and inexpensive”.

“You should study a sleeping skill.”
