Chapter 324: Killing Old Man Bai (2/2)

The entire village's walls were painted red and corpses were littered all over the street.

This was the sight that greeted Murong Jing and Tang Julong when they came looking for Old Man Bai.

Tang Julong, who had been hesitating whether or not to kill Old Man Bai, suddenly felt that it was for the better for him to die as soon as possible.

Murong Jing's eyes, which had been tranquil for a long time, were also filled with undisguised disdain and fury.

”Old Man Bai!” Murong Jing called out loud, and the man who had been drenched in blood, startled before he turned and looked at the two incoming experts.

His eyes flashed with surprise and confusion.

He instantly recognized Murong Jing and Tang Julong, but as to what their purpose was, he had no idea.

”Master Murong, Master Tang, what brings the two of you here?” he asked tentatively, and Murong Jing flew down and landed right next to him.

His face was no longer displaying any emotions, he seemed tranquil like a still lake, and his lips even carried a slight smile, so Old Man Bai could not feel even the slightest feeling of threat coming from him.

Tang Julong was not as capable of hiding his true emotions, but he stayed behind them, so Old Man Bai did not notice his expressions nor his killing intent.

”Old Man Bai, I need to speak with you,” Murong Jing said smilingly as he stepped closer and closer to the older man, and when he was within range, his palm suddenly shot out.

Rock Shattering Palm Strike!

The technique that he was using was not the highest ranked technique he controlled, but it was the one with the most direct power.

A cracking noise resounded in the surroundings as the palm strike made contact with Old Man Bai's chest, breaking his ribcage with a single attack.

When Tang Julong saw that Murong Jing was attacking, he rushed forward with his movement technique, and he brandished his sword before he unleashed an attack.

Sky Shattering Clouds!

This attack was the strongest that Tang Julong could unleash, and the sword light shot in front of Tang Julong and landed on Old Man Bai's shoulder, cutting a deep gash into his flesh.

Old Man Bai's eyes were widened in horror when he saw how the two Earth Saints were attacking him, his hands were trembling in terror and he was backing away as fast as he could, however with the injuries he had sustained, his speed was heavily impacted.

Neither Murong Jing nor Tang Julong was willing to let go just like that, and they pressed forward, cornering Old Man Bai in a pincer attack.

One was wielding a sword, while the other was raining fist and palm attacks down on him.

He could only defend himself from the most deadly of the attacks, but the remaining ones were drawing blood, breaking bones and making him spit out blood which mixed with the blood from the farmers and fishers he had killed previously.

”Why are you doing this?!” he roared filled with indignation and hatred, but he got no answer. Neither Tang Julong nor Murong Bai was willing to tell him the truth. They had the mindset of killers right now, and they would end their jobs as fast as possible.

While they were able to dominate Old Man Bai and push him further and further back, the old man started using life-saving treasures one after another.

Never would anyone have expected that he was that rich, he had a whole bunch of protective talismans, inscriptions, and formations.

If they had not been two, then it was likely that he would have succeeded in his escape, but since they were two who constantly attacked him, he could only passively defend.

The loud sounds of battling reverberated through the village and the survivors had hidden far away.

Some experts within Treasure City could feel the fluctuations of energy and came to see what was going on; others were blissfully unaware.

Sensing that others were on their way, the face of Murong Jing and Tang Julong turned solemn. They knew that they had to hurry up, and both of them used their most prized attacks.

Thunderous Mentality Sword!

Fist of the Ancient Demon!

Both of them did not hold anything back, and finally, they managed to break through all the defenses shrouding Old Man Bai, their attacks cutting the remainder of his life short.

His final breath was filled with bitterness and unwillingness. His eyes did not close but stayed staring at Murong Jing with disbelief and venomous hatred.

”Let's get going,” Murong Jing said, and Tang Julong nodded his head. The two of them turned into flashes of bright light and vanished into the distance before another person made it to the village.

Seeing the murder that had happened, he was stunned at first, but after questioning the survivors, he understood that it was Old Man Bai who had murdered wantonly and that two experts had arrived and killed him later.

As to what their reason was, no one knew, and who they were was also a mystery.

These villagers would never see the leaders of the major families within Treasure City, so it was impossible to guess their identity. Thus rumors said that it was two experts that came by and felt pity for the villagers, hence became the heroes saving the innocent.
