Chapter 28 Annihilation, the Demon Child Descends
With that thought in mind, he didn't retract his right foot.
With just a slight touch to the fallen Li An, it flipped upside down in mid-air, its body outstretched headfirst, like a swallow spreading its wings.
whoosh...
Three jet-black needle-like rays swept past from below.
With a soft thud, the impact hit Li An, who had just collapsed to the ground.
A figure in a red dress darted along the ground like a snake, flashing silver light as she slashed and slashed.
If Li Xin hadn't already leaped into the air, his leg would already be struck by the black needles, and his neck would have been severed by the blade...
However, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, he dodged first, and the hidden needles and short sword attacks all missed their mark.
Instead, it revealed Tang Si Niang, the Green Bamboo Snake, who had suddenly appeared.
Tang Si Niang missed with both of her attacks, panic flashed in her eyes, and she rolled to one side and turned around quickly.
Before she could even stand up, her legs were bent and straightened, and she saw a gun barrel pressed against her forehead.
"No……"
Tang Si Niang's scream was still in her throat when it was drowned out by the sound of gunfire.
Flames shot out.
Her head snapped back, and a bloody hole appeared between her eyebrows.
"Bang..."
Just then, Li Xin completed a somersault and landed on solid ground.
A gasp of surprise rang out from all around.
The gamblers were in a frenzy, running around everywhere.
Four or five men, armed with knives and clubs, rushed up.
"kill!"
They are quite fierce and daring.
Li Xin sheathed his spear at his waist.
With a flick of his five fingers, he drew out the three-edged blood thorn.
It charged straight into the flash of blades, *splat*...
It had already pierced one person's throat.
As he drew blood, he swiftly moved past the two men and thrust his hand backwards.
One man's heart was pierced, and another man's back was splattered with blood.
His movements were elusive, each move deadly.
The secret technique of [Spirit Communication] has long been activated, allowing me to distinguish which people are surrounded by a gray-black light.
This is what it means to harbor deep malice towards oneself.
It's only when they're not enemies that something is suspicious.
He feels no burden whatsoever when it comes to killing people like that.
Evil must be eradicated completely.
Why aren't you worried about killing the wrong person?
The reason is very simple.
After I killed [Hanging-Eyed Tiger] Li An and [Green Bamboo Snake] Tang Si Niang, why do they still harbor evil thoughts and deep hatred towards me? Should I keep such a person around for the New Year?
He killed seven or eight people on the spot, and then chased down and killed five or six more.
The gamblers and remaining thugs in the lobby had all fled.
On the streets, pedestrians who had not yet returned home at night were also frightened and hurriedly fled.
Terrified cries rang out from all directions.
Someone shouted, "The Demon Child! That's the Demon Child reincarnated..."
"Nezha, Nezha is killing people! Tang Si Niang and the others are all dead, all of them are gone! If we don't move slowly, we'll die too!"
"Could it really be the Third Prince possessing him?"
"I told you long ago, the Qing family has done so many bad things, they'll get their comeuppance eventually. And now, the gods have descended to earth."
"Good riddance! Bah!"
Some people cursed incessantly, then looked back at the blood-soaked corpses at the entrance of the gambling den, cried out a few times, and then burst into laughter.
Some people, while walking along, would turn around, prostrate themselves on the ground, and kowtow.
One person, two people, three people, four people...
The streets were exceptionally noisy at night.
With his back to the door, Li Xin glanced down at the blood-soaked room and felt not disgust, but rather a sweet smell in the air.
The blood of the wicked always smells sweet.
His mind was like radar, sensing everything around him, and he kicked open the backyard door.
Amidst roars and curses, the triangular spikes once again unleashed waves of blood.
Several old women and thugs lay on the ground convulsing, but Li Xin didn't even glance at them.
She simply pursed her lips, picked up the knife from the ground, and cut the ropes binding the boy and girl one by one.
"You are saved."
These people were so terrified that even now, not one of them dared to flee.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she sobbed softly.
Like a kitten soaked by wind and rain.
Outside on the street, eleven or twelve pale red lights converged into a wave, rushing into Li Xin's mind.
Seven or eight pale red lights appeared in the room, converging around him.
A tiny golden light suddenly appeared.
Li Xin took a deep breath, his spirits lifted, and he turned to look at the spot where the golden light was shining.
He was a thin boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with red and swollen palm marks on his face.
Considering that children from poor families were generally malnourished in that era, this boy's age was estimated to be about a year older, around fifteen.
"Come with me, and gather all the money in the lobby and pack it up. Do you know how?"
"meeting!"
The skinny boy's eyes were full of surprise.
He wiped away his tears forcefully and ran into the lobby...
First, they gathered the money on the table, then went behind the counter to search carefully.
They quickly gathered a large bag of silver and copper coins.
"As always, those with homes go home, and those without homes seek refuge with relatives..."
If you really have nowhere else to go, try to make ends meet for a while. Find some odd jobs at embroidery shops, restaurants, or grain stores. You'll manage to survive, understand?
Li Xin slipped some loose silver and copper coins into each person's hand while giving them careful instructions.
"Understood."
"Alright, disperse now. I hope you'll all be careful and not get caught by the Qing gang again."
After speaking, watching the boys and girls of all ages walk into the vast night, Li Xin also turned to leave.
He took two steps, then stopped.
He turned to look at the thin boy beside him.
"You don't have any family?"
"My father became addicted to gambling and sold my sister. My sister hanged herself, and I grabbed a knife to fight them, but I was caught. My father was also beaten to death with clubs..."
"They, they even wanted to sell me to the elephant brothel."
The boy picked up a stick and swung it at Tang Si Niang's corpse for a while, then went to hit the other two. Only when he was tired did he throw down the stick and start sobbing.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Yang Fan. The master said he would give me a courtesy name later, but before he could, he..."
In the [psychic] vision, one can see the orange-red light emanating from the boy's body.
Li Xin then remembered the boy with the broken leg who had been huddled in the corner when he left the restaurant earlier.
"Yang Fan, I have a task for you. You know Yuanfeng Restaurant, right?"
"Know."
"There's a kid across the alley whose leg was broken, he's about eleven or twelve years old."
Once you find him, the two of you should go together to courtyard number 17 next to the Fire God Temple tomorrow morning... to find a girl named Zhuang Hongxiu. She will take you in.
"My benefactor..."
The boy knelt down to pay his respects, and was about to speak when he looked up to find that there was no one there.
He rubbed his eyes and turned around on the spot.
Looking around, the streets were sparsely populated, and people were calling out from afar as they rushed over.
He shivered.
Clutching a few loose silver coins in his palm, he bent slightly and darted into the darkness, hugging the wall.
……
Two major things were accomplished in one night.
Feeling refreshed, Li Xin didn't linger and ran wildly into the night.
Under the moonlight, the red and white Nezha mask on his face revealed a big smile.
He didn't even need to calculate how much silver was in the bundle he was carrying; he knew it was a considerable fortune.
At least, it's more than enough to cover the expenses of my family, as well as the medication and exercise I've been taking these past few months.
They could even buy a courtyard house.
Apart from some monetary gains.
There was also an account book in the package, along with the names of the people listed on it.
He found out that the boys and girls who had been kidnapped were not all of them, but rather a collection accumulated over a period of time.
Just like the large sum of money in the gambling den that has not yet been handed over to the general association.
[Green Bamboo Snake] Tang Si Niang is really too capable; she's so diligent even when doing bad things.
They absolutely deserved to die.
Of course, the faith he gained from the battle just now—rescuing some kidnapped boys and girls and killing some villains—was what he valued most.
In total, there is an additional 2.8 confidence points.
You can increase [Agility] to 20, activate [Erlang Shen's Divine Intent], and obtain a new secret skill.
Furthermore, you can increase your physical constitution.
Once you exceed 20 points, you'll need 2 more points of faith to improve it further.
We still can't afford to be so extravagant for now.
Let's improve the overall 3D capabilities first.
Reaching a score of 20 in all aspects means that, in terms of physical fitness, one has completely caught up with those masters who have mastered the art of internal strength training and possess formidable physiques.
At that time, even without activating the [Divine Strike] manual, he will be able to crush most masters with his comprehensive fist techniques and rich combat experience.
Once the divine will is activated and the attributes double, who knows how powerful it will become.
Perhaps, even if faced with concentrated fire from three or four guns, one could emerge unscathed.
At this level, security is basically guaranteed, and there won't be as many concerns as there are now.
……
He leaped over his own courtyard wall.
Li Xin was about to sneak into the main bedroom.
Suddenly, the window of the west wing opened, and a figure emerged.
A cold glint flashed, the blade gleamed like a bolt of lightning, and slashed down with a whoosh.
……
