Pushing martial arts horizontally: starting from depriving the mantis shrimp of its talent

Chapter 143 Ying Tianli

When Chen Cheng brought Sun Yuanda's body to the mission office to hand it over, the news of Sun Yuanda's execution spread like a whirlwind throughout the prison department.

Without any hesitation or doubt, Lu Ya was the first to believe the news.

Watching Mr. Shao take action again, he began to examine Sun Yuanda's body.

After watching Mr. Shao's professional operation, Chen Cheng hesitated for a while, and then entered the warehouse at the back not knowing what he was doing.

call!
A gust of wind blew in, and I saw a majestic and heroic man laughing and striding into the mission office.

Seeing Chen Cheng standing in front of the counter, his eyes lit up, he came to Chen Cheng's side in a few steps, and patted Chen Cheng's shoulder with his big hand.

"As expected, I was not mistaken!"

"Last time, second brother, you showed great strength and killed Sun Yuanda's master as soon as you took action."

"This time you have reached nine blood levels again. I had a premonition that you would do something amazing."

"I didn't expect you to kill most of Sun Yuan!"

Lu Ya looked at the headless corpse lying on the table at the mission office. Although he had no head, Sun Yuanda had given him a strong shock that night. He could tell at a glance that this was Sun Yuanda!

"What kind of human monster? In front of my second brother, he is just a chicken and a dog!"

Lu Ya looked at Sun Yuanda's body and sighed.

At this moment, the small door behind the counter opened, and Mr. Shao, who had been in for a while, came out again.

Mr. Shao has a kind face and looks like the grandfather next door, with a very gentle temper.

At this time, Mr. Shao walked out with something like a brass scale in his hand.

First, he took a little flesh and blood from Sun Yuanda's headless corpse and placed it on the right end of the scale, and then placed the scale on the counter.

Looking at this strange scale, Chen Cheng felt a slight fluctuation of the strange object.

"The Balance of Satisfaction? Mr. Shao, how can you take this thing out?"

Lu Ya frowned when he saw the brass scale.

Chen Cheng was a little confused. Seeing him like this, Lu Ya explained
"This scale is called the Satisfactory Scale. Place items on one end of the scale, and put items belonging to the person being questioned on the other end. It can be a personal item or a piece of hair."

"Then just ask that person a question. If it's a lie, the end where the personal belongings are placed will slowly rise. If it's true, it will sink."

"The price of using this thing is that the user will not be able to tell lies for the next half day."

"Because of this characteristic, it is generally used to interrogate prisoners."

"Let the prisoner interrogate the prisoner, and the case will be solved with no success."

As he said this, Lu Ya's face gradually turned ugly, and he looked at Mr. Shao with an unkind expression.

When Mr. Shao saw Lu Ya's face, he knew what he wanted to say and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. I've never seen the corpse of a warrior above blood refining before, so I'm a little afraid to confirm."

"And don't worry, Mr. Lu, the little old man will only ask a few simple questions. After all, it is a task involving [-] contribution points. If something goes wrong, I can't afford to sell the old bones of the little old man. Please Mr. Lu and Mr. Chen will take care of me."

Seeing an old man who was nearly a hundred years old handing over his hand and asking for mercy, Chen Cheng and Lu Ya were naturally embarrassed to say anything.

Chen Cheng put a hand on Lu Ya's shoulder. When he saw him looking over, he comforted him.
"Brother, I just want to try to see if this scale is really that magical, so let him ask."

Seeing how confident Chen Cheng was, Lu Ya finally nodded.

He stood aside with a keen eye, as if if Mr. Shao asked something he shouldn't ask, he would immediately pounce on him and beat him into panda eyes.

Shao Lao breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and said to Chen Cheng

"Captain Chen, please give me a personal item or a piece of hair."

Chen Cheng immediately pulled a piece of hair and handed it over.

Mr. Shao took the hair and checked it, then coiled it twice and placed it on the left side of the scale.

After adjusting the swimming weight so that the two ends were even, Mr. Shao raised his head with a cheerful smile on his face and was ready to ask questions.

While he was adjusting the weights, several more chief catchers and silver order catchers wandered over. After seeing Shao Laolian taking out the scales, they all shut up and ate in silence.

"Then the little old man asked Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Cheng nodded.

After receiving the consent, Mr. Shao slowly asked

"Captain Chen, may I ask, was it really you who killed Sun Yuanda?"

When everyone heard this question, they immediately turned their attention to Chen Cheng's face and couldn't help but hold their breath.

Chen Cheng's face was the same as usual, as cold and stern as ever, and he said slowly

"Yes!"

squeak~
The sound of the bearings rotating slowly sounded, and everyone couldn't help but look at the brass scale placed on the counter between the two of them.

The end with the flesh and blood was slowly raised, while the end with the hair sank a little lower.

"Sigh~"

This change in the scale of satisfaction immediately caused everyone to take a breath of cold air.

"Is Sun Yuanda really killed by him?"

"I can't believe it!"

. . .

A loud buzzing sound suddenly echoed in the small building of the mission office.

Shao Lao's heart slowed down a beat when he saw the changes in the scale of satisfaction.

Lu Ya smiled happily when he saw this and said:

"Even the balance of satisfaction is like this. Mr. Shao, you have nothing to say this time, right?"

Mr. Shao raised his head, cupped his hands and smiled bitterly.
"It's because I'm blind, so I'll finish the task for Capt. Chen."

Mr. Shao asked for Chen Cheng's token and soon handed it back. At the same time, he also handed over a stack of gold tickets.

"Second brother, you have another huge amount of money coming into your account today. You must treat me to a drink! You won't come back until you get drunk!"

After Sun Yuanda's information was updated, the reward was increased from 2 taels to 4 taels.

Silver and other things are just a small part, and contribution points are the big part.

However, 4 taels of silver, converted into gold tickets, is 4000 taels, which is considered a huge sum of money.

Chen Cheng was naturally not stingy, and with a wave of his hand, everyone who saw him had a share, and the restaurant started.At the banquet, someone encouraged Chen Cheng to talk about his experience of killing Sun Yuanda.

Chen Cheng still had that stern expression and said slowly
"Everyone is saying that after Sun Yuanda forced his way into the prison department and devoured his master's body, he might take the last half step to achieve refining, and there will be no peace in the world from now on."

"When I thought that I was the one who killed his master, if Sun Yuanda succeeded in refining his form, I would be the first one to be killed, so I waited and waited in Longzhang until I finally found Sun Yuanda."

"As for why I can kill him..."

Chen Cheng paused as he spoke.

"Maybe it's because he was mysteriously resurrected just now and his strength has not been restored."

This explanation is obviously easier for others to accept.
-
Not long after, word spread that Chen Cheng killed a Half-Step Refiner again, and that the person he killed was the human demon Sun Yuanda.

The aristocratic family who had come to recruit once before came to visit again this time.

However, this time, almost all the people coming from the aristocratic family are the second and third leaders in the family, and the conditions offered are very attractive. Mountains of jewels, gold mines, beauties and mansions, anything that the world longs for are all within the conditions offered.

But when Chen Cheng asked if he could provide the training materials and training methods, he ignored him.

The form-refining technique is just that, but the form-refining materials, which are used less and less, may not be collected in a few decades. Even if they are available, they cannot be given to an outsider like Chen Cheng.

The only family that responded positively also had conditions, that is, this family would do its best to search for Chen Cheng's refining materials, and Chen Cheng needed to join first and then serve this family for 50 years.

This empty-handed white wolf's plan was instantly defeated by Chen Chengcheng.

After rejecting all the invitations from the aristocratic family, Chen Cheng took a sip of tea and sighed.

"It's really difficult to obtain a refining material."

"But fortunately, I'm still a long way from refining my form, and my strength can continue to improve!"

Chen Cheng will never forget that his current true martial arts cultivation level is only five levels of blood.

Strictly speaking, he is his true self in the Jiuji Xuanjia state.

"When I improve all the horizontal skills to nine levels of blood, I wonder how strong I will be by then?"

"Perhaps we can resist the shape-refining warrior?"

Thinking about it, Chen Cheng was looking forward to that scene.

The day after rejecting the aristocratic family's solicitation, the concierge reported that someone else came to visit.

When Chen Cheng heard that someone else was coming, a trace of irritation flashed across his furrowed brows.

"Either these aristocratic families used ordinary things to fool me, or they were just trying to fool me with nothing. I haven't seen them. They've all disappeared!"

After Chen Cheng finished speaking, he waved his hand.

There was a hint of embarrassment on the concierge's face

"But, the person who came this time said he was from Prince Hui's Mansion."

"Prince Hui's Mansion?"

Hearing this name, Chen Cheng showed a hint of surprise on his face.

"They probably didn't come to me to avenge Ying Xuanji's death."

Chen Cheng thought for a while and determined that no one knew about his Black Armor Iron Man's vest for the time being. The only one who knew about it, Sun Yuanda, had also been beaten into powder by him, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

After pondering for a while, Chen Cheng made a decision.

"In that case, let's meet him."

Chen Cheng also seemed to know what kind of conditions Prince Hui's Mansion, which had mastered an undead army and fought against all races for hundreds of years, would offer. He didn't know if it would open the eyes of a bumpkin from a small town like him.

Chen Cheng went to greet him in person, opened the middle door, and saw a young man standing at the door who was gorgeously dressed but without any accessories.

In addition, there was a young man standing behind him with a golden sword in his arms and bulging chest muscles. He looked like he was a bodyguard or something.

Chen Cheng walked up quickly. When the simple young man saw an unusually tall figure approaching, his eyes suddenly lit up and he cupped his hands and said

"I have taken the liberty of coming to the door to excuse my intrusion."

"Ying Tianli?"

Chen Cheng's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this person reveal his name.

"It turns out that he is the second son. A distinguished guest is coming to the door. He may be welcomed at a distance or at a distance! Please come in quickly!"

Chen Chengcheng immediately welcomed Ying Tianli into the door.

As for the bodyguard following Ying Tianli, Chen Cheng just glanced at the scenery sword held in his arms. After seeing the familiar appearance, he stopped paying attention.

Last time, Ying Xuanji also carried a sword like this on his back. It seemed to be called the Demon-Slaying Sword. It was very effective in dealing with demons and ghosts.

After serving good tea, the two of them sat down.

After a closer look, Ying Tianli's face was elegant and he looked like a gentleman. He exuded a friendly aura that made people feel close to him.

In terms of appearance alone, Ying Tianli is much better than Ying Xuanji, who has a cold and arrogant face and doesn't seem to take anyone seriously.

"I wonder what the second son of Taoism is doing when he comes here?"

Ying Tianli said with a gentle smile on his face

"Just call me Tianli."

"Brother Chen is a young hero. With his body of seventeen, he can even kill the demon Sun Yuan and his disciples."

"Tianli loves making friends with young heroes the most in his life, so after hearing about Brother Chen's achievements, he was overjoyed. After finishing what he was doing, he immediately came to visit."

"Isn't it too late for Heaven to come?"

Ying Tianli glanced at the gifts that were almost filling a whole room next to him. They were all brought by the aristocratic families who came to recruit Chen Cheng.

“Of course it’s not too late”

"That's good."

When Ying Tianli received Chen Cheng's answer, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt happy on his face.

Just this set of performance made Chen Cheng involuntarily feel that Ying Tianli valued him. He couldn't help but feel good about him, and at the same time he immediately became vigilant.

"Another master of acting. An innocent boy like me really can't handle it!"

Chen Cheng lamented in his heart.
