Chapter 372: 221 rebels_2

This outfit clearly wasn’t something an ordinary person could possess.

"Eh, a Black Rosewood Bow!"

Big Beard had some insight and recognized that the bow Fang Zhixing carried was not ordinary merchandise; it was quite valuable, and greed flickered in his eyes.

However, Fang Zhixing seemed to be not so easy to provoke, which made him inwardly wary. He hesitated for a moment, then plucked up his courage and demanded, "Stop, who are you?"

Fang Zhixing’s expression did not change as he calmly replied, "Just a passerby, passing through your esteemed place, looking to buy a map."

This indeed was Fang Zhixing’s purpose as he didn’t have a map of Xiahe County.

But the shops in the town were all closed.

Big Beard chuckled and said, "This place has been taken over by the volunteer army; maps are military controlled items and their sale is prohibited.

Furthermore, to support the volunteer army’s resistance against the tyranny of the aristocratic families, the commander has already ordered the confiscation of all civilian weapons."

He pointed at the broad knife and bow and arrows on Fang Zhixing’s body and ordered, "Hand over your weapons immediately."

Fang Zhixing’s lips curled upward as he said wordlessly, "Quite the authority you wield, even more overbearing than the aristocratic families."

Big Beard glared and said, "Are you defying orders?"

Suddenly, Fang Zhixing reached out, grabbed Big Beard by the neck, and lifted him up.

"Wuuu~"

Big Beard’s feet dangled in the air, kicking about chaotically.

Seeing this, the volunteer soldiers were immediately shocked and raised their clubs, shouting, "What are you doing? Let go!"

Soon, Big Beard’s eyes rolled back, and his face turned a shade of purple.

Fang Zhixing asked, "Do you have a map on you?"

"Ho!" Big Beard let out an unintelligible moan.

Fang Zhixing released his hand.

Big Beard fell into a sitting position, coughed a few times, and gasped for breath.

"Give me the map," Fang Zhixing stretched out his hand.

Big Beard immediately reached into his bosom, fumbled around, and pulled out a palm-sized piece of animal skin.

Fang Zhixing took it, looked it over carefully. Although small, the nine counties of Xiahe County as well as some important mountains and rivers were clearly depicted on the animal skin.

"Hmm, it’s barely usable."

Fang Zhixing pocketed the map and turned to leave.

Big Beard watched him go, his expression gradually turning dark and ferocious. He gritted his teeth and with a venomous look, he turned to the others and angrily said, "Damn it, what are you staring at? Go notify the commander immediately, and catch that bastard..."

Suddenly, Big Beard saw that everyone else was already gaping, looking straight ahead, their faces filled with shock and terror.

He paused his breathing, stiffly turned his head, and his pupils shrank sharply.

Though Fang Zhixing had already walked away far, he had reappeared in front of him like a ghost.

"Gurgle~"

Big Beard’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he was terrified.

Fang Zhixing sneered coldly, "You think you can retaliate against me with your caliber? Seeking death!"

He lifted his hand and struck Big Beard’s chest with a palm.

Boom!

Big Beard’s body trembled, and he was flung back, crashing into his companions.

A series of bone-cracking sounds echoed through the area.

Fang Zhixing didn’t even look back and walked away.

Soon, he had left Black Stone Town and signaled with his hand.

Xigou immediately leapt from the nearby woods and landed beside Fang Zhixing, his tail wiggling.

"Got the map."

Fang Zhixing unfolded the map and whispered, "Xiahe County is no good place, full of poor mountains and harsh rivers. It only has two restricted areas, one first level and one second level, with very few cultivation resources."

Upon hearing this, Xigou smacked his tongue and said, "That poor, huh? What do we do now?"

"What else can we do but keep moving forward to a place rich in resources?"

Fang Zhixing’s finger traced a line on the map and murmured, "If we take a boat south from the county, we should be able to reach ’Dan Ye City,’ the capital of Dan State which is the central area. Surely, martial arts thrive there."

Xigou had no objections, as it was all the same to him wherever they went.

Suddenly, he thought of something, hesitated, and asked cautiously, "How many third-level meat pills do you have left on you, enough for me to eat?"

Fang Zhixing paused briefly and replied, "It should last about a month."

Xigou’s mind was slightly reassured.

Fang Zhixing, the show-off, didn’t need to consume meat pills to supplement himself, but Xigou did, and he needed to eat them every day.

If they ran out of dog food, Xigou’s growth rate would definitely slow down significantly.

Moreover, after running out of dog food, Xigou might have to hunt on his own, which would be too damn uncomfortable.

A man and a dog continued walking forward.

As they were walking, they glanced at each other and suddenly split apart, one to the left and the other to the right.

Shortly thereafter, they both dashed toward a clump of wormwood, encircling it from front and back.

The wormwood shook slightly, revealing half a head.

Fang Zhixing said indifferently, "Who are you and why are you spying on me?"

A delicate jade hand reached out, parted the wormwood, and revealed a young person in tattered hemp clothes and a felt hat, his face dirty, his body filthy.

The young person’s chest was bulging, with no Adam’s apple visible, and his eyes were tearfully clear, especially soulful.

One could tell at a glance, this was a woman disguised as a man.

The young woman looked anxiously at Fang Zhixing, her voice pinched, and with a coarse tone replied, "Hero, I mean no harm. I saw you kill a few rebels just now, and thinking you are very skilled, I followed you to ask you for a favor."

Fang Zhixing responded coolly, "Oh, what favor do you want from me?"

The young woman knelt down on the ground, her eyes brimming with tears, excitedly said, "My entire family, more than a hundred people, were killed by the rebels. I beg you to seek justice for me."

Emotionally overwhelmed, she couldn’t control her voice, which turned into a weak feminine tone.

Fang Zhixing sneered, disdainfully said, "I am no hero, nor am I interested in upholding justice. You’ve got the wrong person."

He turned to leave.

"Hero, please wait!"

The young woman persisted, crawling over on her knees, pleading, "If you help me with my revenge, I am willing to offer you my family heirloom."

Fang Zhixing stopped in his tracks, glanced at the woman sideways, curiously asked, "What heirloom?"

The young woman’s spirits lifted, seriously said, "Honestly, I am Wang Jiayun, the young lady of the Wang Family. My family’s ancestor was a renowned figure in the martial arts world, who left behind the family’s secret ’Antelope Sword Scripture.’

When the rebels came to Black Stone Town, they initially coveted our family’s wealth. Later, their leader Yue Pingjiang, no idea where he heard it from, demanded our family sword scripture and forced us to hand it over."

Out of desperation, my family handed over the secret cultivation techniques, not expecting Yue Pingjiang to turn hostile and murder us mercilessly after getting what he wanted.

My parents fought to their deaths to save me, enabling only me to survive."

At this point, Wang Jiayun was sobbing uncontrollably, tears streaming down, wailing endlessly.

Fang Zhixing frowned and said, "So, the cultivation technique is in Yue Pingjiang’s hands? What will you offer me then?"

Wang Jiayun answered, "I didn’t deceive you, ’Antelope Sword Scripture’ consists of a cultivation technique and a visualization diagram. Fearing Yue Pingjiang might betray us, we took precautions and gave him the real cultivation technique and a fake visualization diagram."

Fang Zhixing suddenly realized, no wonder the woman had told him the rebels were looking for a diagram, the young lady of the Wang Family, in pursuit of a certain diagram.

"The real visualization diagram, is it in your possession?"

Fang Zhixing’s eyes lit up, condition 3 desperately needing this item.

Wang Jiayun, however, replied, "The visualization diagram is not with me. In that urgent moment of escape, I didn’t have time to take the diagram with me, so it’s still within the Wang Estate."

Fang Zhixing understood, no wonder Wang Jiayun had not fled yet; she presumably was waiting for a chance to retrieve the heirloom.

He asked, "Do you know the level of Yue Pingjiang’s cultivation?"

Wang Jiayun shook her head and said, "Not sure. My father was in the late stage of the Great Python Realm and fought him for over a dozen rounds before being killed by him."

Fang Zhixing’s heart was clear, and he was invigorated, "Lead the way, let’s go to the Wang Estate."

Wang Jiayun faltered, astounded, "But, Yue Pingjiang is staying right inside my Wang Estate..."

Fang Zhixing interrupted, "Just lead the way."

Wang Jiayun took a deep breath, overwhelmed with joy, and promptly got up and headed towards the town.

Seeing this, Xigou couldn’t help but remind, "Xiahe County is teeming with rebels. Once you kill Yue Pingjiang, you’ll definitely face their pursuit."

Fang Zhixing laughed, "Doesn’t matter, debts don’t crush the debter."
