Chapter 602: Chapter 299 Do you realize you’re seeking your own death?_2

Lin Baici gave the order.

As a mere tool, Zhao Decheng was very obedient. Under the surveillance of Quan Sangin and Yi Jisheng, he negotiated with the general guarding the city gate.

Being a third-rank official, Zhao Decheng easily passed through, leading everyone into the city.

"What do we do now? Head to the palace?"

Quan Sangin was anxious and wanted to swiftly purify this rule pollution.

"Let’s find a place to stay for the night, and have Zhao Decheng ask his acquaintances about the situation in the palace. If everything goes well, we move tomorrow!"

Lin Baici arranged.

Half an hour later, everyone checked into the best inn in Hancheng. With Zhao Decheng with them, not only did they stay in the best rooms, but they didn’t even have to pay.

"Master Zhao, you sure have a lot of clout!"

Kim Jinsoo teased.

"Quit your nonsense, Captain Quan. The task of gathering intelligence is yours, and Qingqiu, you go with Yi Jisheng!"

With Gu Qingqiu there, Lin Baici felt at ease, not needing to follow in person. He planned to roam around the city; perhaps the sense of hunger would suddenly manifest.

"God Lin, let Kim Jinsoo accompany you. If there’s anything you need, just command her to do it, no need to be polite!"

Quan Sangin offered an apologetic smile. He wasn’t sucking up to Lin Baici; he was worried Lin Baici might do something that he wasn’t aware of.

"Okay!"

Lin Baici didn’t mind either way.

Everyone split up to carry out their tasks.

"Xiaobai, I’m coming too!"

Hua Yue Yu didn’t want to stay at the inn.

"Are you sure you’re up to it?"

Lin Baici was concerned and reached out to touch the streamer host’s forehead: "You still have a fever!"

"But I don’t want to be separated from you!"

The Little Merperson pouted, "I... I’m scared!"

"Alright!"

Lin Baici understood Hua Yue Yu’s mindset: "Then let’s go together!"

The ancient city was filthy and chaotic, and even though this one was Goryeo’s capital, it couldn’t compare with a modern third-tier city.

Because of the snow that had fallen and then partially melted, the streets were flooded with filthy water, all kinds of stenches mixing together as if they were fermenting.

For Lin Baici, who had enhanced his sense of smell, it was sheer torture.

As the sun set in the west, the evening breeze was like the hand of a giant, draping the curtain of night across the sky.

"Let’s go, let’s head back!"

Lin Baici didn’t want to endure the cold wind any longer.

After crossing a street, they saw some soldiers in azure blue uniforms with felt caps conducting a house-to-house search ahead.

Lin Baici waved his hand, signaling everyone to take a detour, but it was too late.

"Stop right there!"

The middle-aged general leading the team saw Lin Baici and his group and immediately called out, then rushed over with a team of men.

"They’re the imperial guards!"

The man with the big beard explained, all the while smiling, as he stepped forward: "Sir, I am the head of the thieves’ arrest from Shangqing Mansion, on official business to Hancheng with Master Zhao Decheng..."

Slap!

The middle-aged general slapped the big-bearded man across the face, his expression ferocious: "Did I allow you to speak?"

The big-bearded man shrank like a scared turtle, offering a sheepish smile.

"We are following the orders of the Lord Chancellor to capture rebels."

The middle-aged general’s gaze swept over Lin Baici, then lingered on Xia Hongyao and Hua Yue Yu: "I find you lot suspicious, come with us!"

"How could we possibly be rebels? They are friends of Master Zhao!"

The big-bearded man became nervous. He hurriedly made eye contact with Lin Baici, signaling him to offer a bribe.

He himself had often done such things, using orders to search as an opportunity to make extra money. If they encountered someone tougher, they could seize enough bribe money to eat well for a year.

Slap!

The middle-aged general slapped the big-bearded man once more. These people were well-dressed and obviously had money—he was determined to take his share. Moreover, the money wasn’t just for him; he had superiors to please as well.

"Take them away!"

The middle-aged general barked his order.

His team consisted of about thirty men, all with longbows slung and weapons in hand, looking strong and capable. They wore mocking smiles, as if they had spotted easy prey, herding Lin Baici and his group into the narrow alleys.

Extortion and blackmail were certainly not to be conducted in public and best done away from colleagues, so fewer would have to share the spoils.

Xia Hongyao and the others looked toward Lin Baici.

Lin Baici pressed his left hand downward, signaling everyone to stay calm. Killing on a main street would attract even more guards, leading to more troubles.

"Xiba, you’re really walking right into Death God’s embrace!"

The big-bearded man was speechless. He looked at the middle-aged general as if he were staring at a fool whose head was filled with nothing but excrement.

Do you think your thirty fully-armed soldiers are numerous? The man in front of you could kill a hundred zombies single-handedly, and he even plans to enter the palace and kill the king tomorrow. Are you aware you’re courting death?

After leading everyone through three streets, the middle-aged general entered a narrow and cramped alley. By this time, the sky had darkened even more.

The middle-aged general looked around and couldn’t help himself. He reached out to grab Xia Hongyao’s chest, "Let’s see if you’re hiding any deadly weapons here!"

Slap!

Xia Hongyao caught the middle-aged general’s hand.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?"

The middle-aged general threatened.

Clang! Clang!

Some soldiers drew their swords, while others notched arrows on their longbows.

"If you don’t want to die, just stay put... Ow!"

At the end of his sentence, the middle-aged general let out a piercing scream as Xia Hongyao kicked him in the knee.

Bang!

Crack!

Amidst the clear sound of breaking bones, the middle-aged general’s right leg bent backward and snapped. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The soldiers were shocked by the sight and were about to shoot their arrows, to kill these people.

Lin Baici moved!

Lightning fast!

Whoosh!

Everything in vision slowed down as if the pause button had been hit. Lin Baici moved like a swimming dragon amongst the soldiers.

He couldn’t be bothered to draw his sword, so he simply greeted them with his bare-handed Drunken Fairy Fist, striking their heads.

Lin Baici completed a round, and Divine Grace ended.

"It’s over!"

The thought surfaced in the bearded man’s mind. He was preparing to crouch and protect his head when the soldiers’ heads suddenly burst open like fireworks.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bright red blood splattered everywhere, mixed with eyeballs and broken teeth.

"What happened?"

The bearded man was dumbfounded.

Kim Jinsoo and Choi Sunsil stared at Lin Baici, dumbstruck. What kind of divine ability was this?

It was way too powerful, wasn’t it?

The two of them didn’t see clearly what Lin Baici had done. They were preparing to take action after seeing Xia Hongyao break the man’s leg, but in the next instant, the soldiers’ heads exploded.

"Terrifying!"

"Horrifying!"

The two murmured internally, shivering. This scene meant that if Lin Baici wished to kill them, they would be powerless to fight back.

"They are rebels! Kill them, kill..."

The middle-aged general suddenly choked on his words, went blank, then began to kowtow, "I was wrong, please spare my life? I was blind and foolish!"

Lin Baici wasn’t interested in talking to the middle-aged general. He simply snapped his fingers with a pop and quickly walked away.

His stomach rumbled, hungry.

Bang!

The middle-aged general’s head burst open.

In such an environment, it was perfect for a Clay Human to ambush.

The alley was filled with the stench of blood.

Lin Baici stepped out of the alley and determined the direction of his hunger, then immediately headed to the right.

Kim Jinsoo and Choi Sunsil stole glances at Lin Baici’s retreating figure and exchanged looks, seeing the fear in each other’s eyes.

Should they leave Lin Baici?

This person was too strong. Staying with him was like sheep awaiting slaughter!

But what about the rule pollution if they left?

Honestly, Quan Sangin’s performance was too poor. Kim Jinsoo and the others felt that following Quan Sangin was akin to courting death.

Worrisome!

At that moment, the two envied Hua Yue Yu greatly.

This insignificant character, just because he was with Lin Baici, dared to enter God’s Ruins of ten years.

Due to hunger distracting him, Lin Baici didn’t notice that nearby, a short man was surveilling them.

"Has he noticed something?"

The short man mumbled to himself and followed.

Inside an inn, a Jurchen woman disguised as a prostitute, A’xin, looked at the room full of people she had made drunk with silver flower-laced wine and sneered. She locked the door and then carried out a small box from the room.

She carefully opened the wooden box, took out a silver needle from a cloth bag, uncapped a small bottle filled with yellow liquid, dipped the needle in it, and then pierced it into a man’s forehead.

Drip! Drip!

The liquid flowed down the needle into the man’s head.

"Father, uncle, auntie, little doggie, Ah Hua, I will soon avenge you all!"

After infecting the third person, A’xin suddenly felt something was off, looked up, and saw a tall figure outside the window.
