Chapter 205 - 205 57 Gold Rank Gold Rank First Update

Chapter 205: Chapter 57 Gold Rank! Gold Rank! [First Update] Chapter 205: Chapter 57 Gold Rank! Gold Rank! [First Update] Feng Yin killed Mo Zhengdao with a single blow without hesitation. As he pulled out his sword, the light from it turned into a circle of radiance. Launching a “Night Fight Eight Directions” maneuver, he shielded his entire body.

With successive clanging sounds, over a dozen weapons were split by his single stroke. With a slight sway of his body and a forceful step off the ground, he shot straight into the sky like a cannonball, ascending tens of feet.

A sharp whoosh was heard as a blade of wind carrying a strand of ink silkworm thread swept across. As it hit Feng Yin’s chest, the blade of wind dissipated, and Feng Yin grabbed hold of the trailing silkworm thread.

Outside the courtyard, Feng Ying’s tiny claws moved with lightning speed, forming afterimages as he tumbled backward, exerting a high-speed pulling force…

The pint-sized creature, dressed in a black robe, nearly blended into the large tree. After successfully feigning an attack on Mo Xiaoyu and escaping from the sewer, he returned here to wait for the moment when Feng Yin would be suspended high above, as planned.

Swish.

With the aid of the ink silkworm thread, Feng Yin’s body darted like a ghost across the sky, making a high-speed escape.

At this moment, Old Zhou finally arrived and shouted, “You bunch of tricksters, stay where you are!”

The gleam of a sword appeared out of nowhere, hurtling towards the retreating Feng Yin.

At the same time, Mo Xiaoyu also arrived on his flying sword. He yelled, “Capture him! I will dismember him into a thousand pieces!”

At this moment, they still did not know that Mo Zhengdao was dead.

Feng Yin rushed towards the giant tree outside the courtyard as quick as a flash of lightning. Despite Old Zhou’s sword beam being incredibly fast, it was still a notch slower than Feng Yin, who was utilizing the momentum generated by the ink silkworm thread, and it failed to hit its mark.

However, Old Zhou would not give up so easily. He released his maximum speed, and just as he was about to approach the large tree, he exploded with all his strength, driven by rage. He was desperate to cut Feng Yin into pieces with a single sword strike to avenge the humiliation he had suffered.

However, at this moment, another sneering laugh echoed in the air.

Just as Feng Yin disappeared into the tree canopy, another shadow swooped down from the treetops!

In the dark night, the man’s eyes glittered with a light reminiscent of a vulture in the desert.

The next moment, a tremendous slash came down!

There was a thunderous crash.

The sword and blade clashed in mid-air.

With a deafening roar, Old Zhou’s body shook vehemently. Blood seeped from his facial orifices; his heartbeat violently pulsed. He passed out mid-air and was sent flying away like a kite with a broken string.

His long sword was riddled with fissures.

There was a significant gap between Old Zhou’s and Zhuang Weiran’s cultivation levels. With the shock from the strike, almost all of Zhou’s meridians were shattered.

As for Mo Xiaoyu, at the moment he arrived below Old Zhou, he was about to draw his sword, but when he saw Old Zhou being blasted away by a slash, his soul simply fled his body, and he turned to leave.

“You dare try to escape from me!”

Zhuang Weiran closed and spread his palm in mid-air, and with a muffled thud, he threw a punch through the air that covered a distance of twenty yards and landed solidly on Mo Xiaoyu!

Boom!

Mo Xiaoyu didn’t even have time to scream before his whole body exploded into pieces in mid-air!

This young hero from Supreme Mountain, with pure blood heritage, had been dogged by ill fortune ever since he arrived at Yuezhou – first losing his target, then having his guard killed and being thrown into jail.

Finally, when he was freed, it hadn’t even been a few days before his Universe Treasure was stolen. Despite struggling to send out a message and then visiting Mo Zhengdao for drinks to lighten up, he stumbled upon this ambush, and ultimately lost his life here!

His unfortunate fate was arguably the worst luck anyone had experienced during this period.

If Old Zhou, realizing Feng Yin’s shallow strength, had discerned that his actual target was Mo Zhengdao and hadn’t turned back to counterattack, none of the subsequent events would have occurred. Similarly, if Mo Xiaoyu hadn’t sought revenge on Feng Yin, he would not have met his untimely end.

There was no other explanation for this severe string of misfortunes.

The man who vowed to dismember Feng Yin fell apart in quantities within moments; it was indeed a case of the words coming back to haunt him, a repercussion born out of utter vexation!

What was even more ludicrous was that Zhuang Weiran didn’t even know who he had just killed.

For him, was it really important to know who he had killed?

So basically, he had no idea he had sort of killed someone very important…

After launching that punch, he didn’t even bother to see what had happened. He stepped across the void, turned around, and retreated back to the treetop. Guarding Feng Yin, he left with insouciance.

Each tree along the way took in some of the ink silkworm thread, aiding their swift movement. They vanished instantly.

By the time they appeared again, they were already inside their own yard.

Having accomplished his mission, Feng Yin looked invigorated and elated.

“It’s done! I’m sure I can rank up this time!”

“That’s good.” Zhuang Weiran was indifferent. To him, it really was as insignificant as could be.

“So, can I go back to sleep now?”

“Sure.”

Zhuang Weiran left.

Feng Yin returned to his room with a relaxed smile. As always, he petted his cat a little first, then took out the Heavenly Judgement, beaming at his achievement, and reveling in the joy of his rank promotion.

Task: Mo Zhengdao, coveted the daughter of a martial arts academy’s director. Despite his attempts at matchmaking and forced marriage, he killed everyone in the academy in frustration when he failed to have his way, claiming a plague was responsible for their deaths. The girl was abducted and ravished to death by him…

His ruthless methods and monstrous intentions have stirred up public outrage. That’s why a Heavenly Judge has been assigned to kill him, to serve justice to the heavens and pay homage to the civilians.

The task has been completed.

Task completed by: Gentle. Rank: Gold. Position: 19,325.

Gold rank!

Indeed, I am finally at the Gold rank!

Feng Yin’s heart surged with excitement!

Not only had he successfully ranked up, but his rank was also not low – he had risen to the top 20,000.

It is evident that the value of the target Mo Zhengdao was quite high!

And there are also material rewards: a set of swordsmanship, footwork, and mental cultivation methods; coupled with a steamed bun. In terms of pills, there were two Upper Three Ranks Breaking Realm Pills, a bottle of Upper Three Ranks Yuan Li Pills, and a bottle of Marrow-Cleansing Pills of the same rank.

Finally, there’s 500 taels of silver.

Such rewards for an ordinary Gold rank killer of Heavenly Judge, can be considered extremely generous!

Even the wealthy Feng Yin couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear.

This time, more provisions for the little one had arrived!

The little one’s appetite has gotten pickier.

Ordinary Yuan Qi pills were sniffed at. If the pills were of a lower rank, it would nudge Feng Yin’s hand with its head, whining in dissatisfaction.

In general, it wouldn’t stop until it had something better to eat.

However, high grade elixirs are naturally more rare, and they can’t be bought just by having money. Despite Feng Yin’s abundance, he had to be economical; the pills rewarded from Heavenly Judge tasks couldn’t keep up with Feng Yin and the little one’s cultivation speed. Although not completely behind, the aid they provided was somewhat limited…

However, considering the timing, the compensation from Wu Tiejun and He Bibiqu should be coming soon!

The countless pills previously worked tirelessly on by Feng Ying and himself to produce, even if sold at half price, were still quite valuable!

He was sure that they wouldn’t treat him unfairly; by then, there would be lots of provisions not only for Feng Ying but also for the knife.

Thinking about this, everything seemed to fall into place, the joy was overwhelming.

The next time the Heavenly Judgment refreshed, Feng Yin saw the news he had been waiting for.

“Killer’s Name: Gentle. Serial Number: 19325. Advanced to Gold rank on a particular day of a particular month, at a particular time; meets the requirements for Gold rank training. Please be sure to assemble in the Black Crow Valley of Wutong Mountain between the 10th and 15th of August. Those who are late will be assumed to have forfeited automatically.”

“Password for entering Black Crow Valley: One hand controls the Heaven, the other hand controls the Human realm.”

“Rely on the Heavenly Judgment, with the Power of Bloodline as the guide.”

“May you cleanse this world of all filth; may your martial arts reach the stars!”

Feng Yin could feel his heart pounding.

It’s here!

Finally, it’s here!

The Gold rank training of the Heavenly Judge, it had finally come!

He had waited for this day for a very long time, it had been months!

Today was the 13th of July, about a month until August 10, he still had plenty of time to do so many things, there was no need to rush!

After successfully completing the task, Feng Yin could not help but kick back and relax on his bed, feeling proud and satisfied.

He would soon officially become a member of the Heavenly Judge’s regular army.

However, this Mo Zhengdao who had been named on the Gold Rank list for so long, yet no one had been able to kill, was really puzzling. In my opinion, his strength is mediocre, probably mostly guarded by his underlings, he has quite a few powerful subordinates, including Human-Level cultivators, plus tight defense, that’s probably how he lived till now!

Feng couldn’t help but be complacent.

He hasn’t realized that while Mo Zhengdao was difficult to kill and his strength played a part, it wasn’t the main reason. The fact that Feng Yin swiftly advanced from the Innate Seventh Rank to the pinnacle of the Innate Fourth Rank was one of the main reasons why he was able to succeed. In other words, Feng Yin’s strength now surpassed many Gold rank killers.

Moreover, there was a more important reason: Rarely can anyone, like Feng Yin, make such a premeditated exploration of Mo Zhengdao’s homestead. He knew it better than Mo Zhengdao himself.

He had even calculated and made use of a sewer outlet as small as a rat hole.

Not to mention the plants in Mo Zhengdao’s house were assisting Feng Yin…

After these meticulous arrangements, and at that critical moment, using an unexpected, ruthless strike, coupled with the knife’s bizarre abilities beyond human comprehension, its indestructible blade going through everything, how could Mo Zhengdao possibly survive?!

If such a strike still couldn’t kill Mo Zhengdao, then…the existence of the Spiritual Transformation Technique and the knife would be utterly useless, they wouldn’t be necessary at all.

The man was killed now, the task was completed, attaining the gold rank was successful and the final objective of attending the Gold Rank training had been achieved.

However, what Feng Yin didn’t know, was that he had unwittingly stirred up a huge trouble!

It can even be said, that even if the other party came knocking on his door, Feng Yin would only be bewildered.

“What’s going on? I didn’t do it…didn’t you find the wrong person to take revenge?”
