Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 193

[Chapter 193: Secret Action]

The next day, it was close to noon.

A certain open space in the center of the city was filled with onlookers.

Dozens of government officials blocked the crowd outside a white line. Noon was almost here, and it was time to execute several traitors from the Tiandao League.

Many people in the crowd sighed in their hearts.

The righteous men of the Tiandao League punish the strong and help the weak, and do things for the heaven. Many people in Jiangnan who were oppressed by local thugs and corrupt officials have received their kindness.

In the eyes of the people, they are good people.

It’s a pity that good people don’t get good rewards. These three righteous men will soon be beheaded by the government.

As civilians, they can’t do anything for them.

On the execution platform, the prefect of Jiangnan sat there, looking at a figure standing beside him from time to time.

Although he is the parent official of Jiangnan Prefecture, this position is also rewarded by others. He is just a puppet, or a chess piece, of the Zhang family to control Jiangnan. All actions today must be arranged by others.

Noon was about to arrive. Beside the governor of Jiangnan, a middle-aged man, with hawk-like eyes, scanned the crowd back and forth, and his eyes lingered on several figures.

A foot deep under the ground of the execution ground, another figure was hidden in the soil.

In the river beside the street, a person was stuck to the bottom of the water like a stone. On

the execution platform, the governor of Jiangnan looked up at the sun and said to the three people kneeling below: “You three rebels, what else do you have to say when you are about to die?”

Upon hearing this, the executioner took the cloth balls out of the mouths of the three people.

The man on the far right laughed loudly and said, “You dog official, if you kill one of me, there will be thousands of me. There are so many righteous men in the world, you can’t kill them all!”

The other two men who looked similar seemed to be brothers. One of them looked at the governor of Jiangnan and said, “Although we die today, someone will avenge us sooner or later. We two brothers will go first and wait for you on the road to the underworld!”

The governor of Jiangnan was furious and said coldly, “You dare to be stubborn when you are about to die!”

He looked at the middle-aged man beside him and asked, “Sir, the time is almost up. Do you want to execute?”

The middle-aged man withdrew his eyes from the crowd and nodded slightly.

The governor of Jiangnan took out a warrant from the lottery tube, threw it on the ground, and shouted, “The time has come, execute!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud shout came from the crowd.

“Do it!”

Then, five figures rushed out of the crowd and went straight to the three people on the execution platform.

The three people kneeling on the ground felt their hearts sink. They shouted with all their strength:

“Go!”

“Don’t worry about us!”

“This is their trap!”

…

But their reminders were too late.

The ground around the execution platform suddenly collapsed. The five people who were running towards the execution platform lost their balance and almost fell down. In front of them, a man in a brown gown appeared. A

figure also jumped out of the river, blocking the retreat in another direction. On

the execution platform, the middle-aged man looked at the five people below, sneered, and said: “You really dare to come, traitors, I want you to see with your own eyes that your people will die in front of you…”

He waved his hand and said to the three executioners: “What are you still standing there for? Execution!”

The executioner raised his big knife, aimed at the necks of the three people, and swung it down with force. Among the five people, a man said angrily: “How dare you!”

He wanted to rush to the execution platform, but was stopped by the earth-based magician.

“Get out of here!”

The man roared, punching the magician’s head. The punch was so loud that even the air made a dull sound. The earth magician did not dare to be careless. He immediately formed a thick earth shield on his arms to block it. His fist hit the earth shield hard, and the earth shield shattered. His body also stepped back several steps.

However, he was not surprised but happy. He did not expect that he would actually attract a strong man from the Earth Rank of the Heavenly Dao League. This kind of person is at least at the level of a helmsman. If he can be kept today, it will be a great achievement.

The executioner raised his hand and slashed. In this short period of time, the big knife above the heads of the three people had fallen.

Just when the five people were almost desperate and the three were ready to welcome the arrival of death, the big knives in the hands of the three executioners hovered above the necks of the three people.

The middle-aged man on the execution platform was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, “What the hell are you three doing!”

The three executioners stood there, trying their best, but the big knife just couldn’t fall. Suddenly, they threw out the big knives in their hands at the same time, and the big knives flew straight towards the middle-aged man on the execution platform. The middle-

aged man unsheathed the long knife at his waist, swung it twice casually, and the three knives flying towards him broke in the middle, broke into two pieces, and fell to the ground.

But his face darkened.

There are still strong men.

Moreover, he was a master of the Golden Art. He hated this kind of guy who was as hard as iron and turtle-like. Even if the opponent was a lower-level Xuan-level warrior, ordinary earth-level warriors could not break their defense.

He jumped down from the execution platform and shouted, “What’s the point of hiding in the dark? If you have the ability, come out and fight me openly!”

The three companions were rescued, and the five people were relieved. One of them asked the man, “Helmsman, is this the master you invited?”

The man was also confused. Could it be that there are other brothers from other branches here?

But this is not the time to think about these things. While the earth-based magician was distracted, he immediately jumped onto the execution platform and cut the iron chains that bound the three people with a few knives. However,

at this time, the dozens of officials had surrounded them, and the people who were watching the excitement around them had fled in all directions as soon as the incident happened.

A dozen archers quickly pulled the bowstrings and locked the arrows on them.

However, the next moment, the archers’ bodies suddenly shook, and their faces showed fear. They dropped their bows and arrows one after another, with extremely terrified expressions, and some even burst into tears.

“Ghost, there is a ghost!”

“Go away, don’t eat me, don’t eat me!”

“Dad, Mom, save me!”

…

In a flash, more than a dozen archers ran away, some jumped into the river, and the scene was very embarrassing.

The remaining constables also showed terrified expressions and retreated subconsciously. A terrifying atmosphere began to spread among them.

“What’s going on?”

“What’s wrong with them?”

On the Jiangnan Mansion side, three earth-level magicians and warriors couldn’t help but change their faces. What kind of strange ability is this? There are more than one person hiding in the dark! What

frightened them even more was that until now, they didn’t know where those people were.

Could it be that one of them has the ability to become invisible?

This time they were planning to capture more rebels from the Tiandao League in Jiangnan Prefecture, but they didn’t expect to attract so many big fish. The magicians were very rare in the Tiandao League, and every capture was a great achievement. They could use these achievements to exchange for certain cultivation resources from the Zhang family.

But they didn’t know how many people were in the dark, and the development of things was also going in an unpredictable direction.

In order to prevent things from getting out of control, the earth-level warrior made a prompt decision and said, “Do it now, kill all the rebels of the Tiandao League on the spot!” As

soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen figures broke out of the windows of the houses on both sides of the street. Judging from the fluctuations of their true qi and Yuanli, their strength was below the earth level.

Even so, the strength of the two sides was extremely different.

Jiangnan Prefecture had three earth-level warriors and more than a dozen Xuan-level warriors, while the Tiandao League had only one earth-level warrior, four Xuan-level warriors, and three wounded. The result was no suspense no matter how you looked at it.

Even Lin Xiu, who was hiding in the dark, couldn’t help shaking his head.

It is good to have feelings and loyalty, and not abandon or give up, but you can’t die for loyalty. Why are

these righteous men of the Tiandao League so impulsive? These people are like this, and so is the girl with big breasts and straightforwardness. If he hadn’t met them by chance, none of these people would have thought of escaping today.

The sacrifice of the five people behind is meaningless.

These three earth-level masters are not capable of fighting. In order to prevent casualties among the people of the Tiandao League, he must take them away as quickly as possible.

The dozen or so Xuan-level magicians and warriors were about to form a siege against several people from the Tiandao League, but suddenly they seemed to be hit by something, one of them vomited blood, flew back, fell to the ground, and could no longer get up.

In a short moment, there were only three earth-level people left in Jiangnan Mansion.

The three looked at each other and saw horror in each other’s eyes.

Who did they attract?

However, the next moment, an even more bizarre scene appeared.

The bodies of those people from the Tiandao League suddenly floated up and flew directly into the sky.

“Not good!”

Three earth-level warriors suddenly jumped up at the same time, and countless sword lights, water arrows, and earth cones shot into the air. However, at this time, the people of the Heavenly Dao League had already flown to a height of dozens of feet, and the water arrows and earth cones also fell to the ground and the river.

None of them had the ability to fly, so they could only watch these people leave gracefully.

The muscles on the warrior’s face were trembling, and he gritted his teeth and said, “It was those people from last night. There were at least five of them, with the Earth Art, the Gold Art, the Control of Objects, the Hidden Art, and one who could affect people’s minds. When did so many strong people appear in Jiangnan?”

Seeing the people of the Heavenly Dao League leave, they didn’t even dare to chase them out.

Those people hiding in the dark, their strength and number were unknown, what could they use to chase them? The one who could take everyone flying was most likely the flying art that had awakened five times. After the five awakenings, the ability was not flying, but the control of objects. A strong man with the ability to control objects could pose a great threat to the three of them. If

I had known earlier, I might as well have executed the three people in the prison.

They were greedy and wanted to use them as bait to catch another big fish. Now, the fish was caught, and it was quite big. They couldn’t eat it, and even the bait was snatched away…
