Chapter 36: An anonymous night watchman

The murder of Di Jin caused a great uproar in the Night Watch Department that night.

Similar killings…

Although there are not many in Jinyun City, they are not completely absent.

Even though there are many night watchmen patrolling in Jinyun City every day, it is impossible to keep an eye on every place in Jinyun City.

Usually, when such killings occur, the Night Watch Department will investigate, but it will not investigate too seriously.

After all, the murderer may have left the city on the same day after killing someone.

Even if it is found, it is useless.

Unless the murderer is a night watchman, it will be different.

However, this killing has attracted great attention from the Night Watch Department.

Because the murderer…

is a bounty hunter of the Senluo Organization!

“Have you confirmed his identity? Is this person really a bounty hunter?”

In a lobby of the Night Watch Department.

The captains of the four teams A, B, C, and D gathered here at this time.

“Based on the items on this person and his characteristics, it can be determined that he is a bounty hunter.”

The captain of Team B, who has narrow eyes, a black spot on his face, and is serious, said affirmatively.

“Preliminary investigation shows that this person sneaked into Jinyun City and is very likely to come for Cen Qingci.”

The captain of Team C, who is tall and looks like an iron tower, added.

Although Cen Qingci is not the only one on the genius bounty list in Jinyun City, he is the only new genius on the list.

Combined with the strength and cultivation of this bounty hunter.

It is not difficult to guess who he is going to hunt.

This made the captain of Team A, who was tied in a purple high ponytail, look ugly and feel a little scared.

As a night watchman under her command, she knows Cen Qingci very well.

She knows that Cen Qingci is not very vigilant.

If it weren’t for the mysterious man who took action to solve this bounty hunter, Cen Qingci would be in danger.

“The most important thing at the moment is to find out who killed the bounty hunter as soon as possible…”

Team B captain pondered.

“Judging from the situation at the scene, the bounty hunter was most likely cut in half by a single blow. Only a martial artist at the ninth level of the martial arts realm can do this!”

“At the same time, it can be ruled out that the other party is not our night watchman. If it was done by our night watchman, there would be no need to hide and show our tails. Killing the bounty hunter is a great achievement.”

“Could it be that the people of the Senluo organization rebelled?”

When the three captains made their guesses.

The squinting-eyed captain of Team D, who had never spoken, suddenly stood up and turned to walk outside.

This made the other three captains stunned.

“What are you doing?”

Team D captain smiled when he heard this.

“Instead of guessing here, it is better to report this matter to the director and let the director decide.”

…

After returning to the room, although Xiao Shi could not see the situation of the four captains, he could also think that this matter would inevitably attract the attention of the senior management of the Night Watch Department.

He was not worried about being exposed.

From the beginning to the end, he did not reveal any flaws. In the eyes of everyone, he was just an ordinary night watchman of Team Ding.

No one would focus on an ordinary night watchman.

“These bounty hunters… are not very strong!”

Xiao Shi recalled the whole killing process.

He felt that he even used too much force.

Even if he did not use the mark formed by the black ink stone, he could kill him with one knife.

After all, Di Jin was already unstable under the detonation of his mark at that time. Facing the knife he slashed with all his strength, he would definitely not be able to resist.

This also reduced the threat brought by the bounty hunters to him.

As early as the first time he heard Yang Zhen and Wang Changhuan mention bounty hunters, Xiao Shi was still full of fear of them.

But now after the fight, he found out…

That’s it!

The reason for this.

The main reason is that the bounty hunters this time were completely restrained by him.

The strength of bounty hunters usually lies in their sneak attacks.

For ordinary people, these bounty hunters are like poisonous snakes lurking in the dark. They will always suddenly burst out and kill with one blow when they are at their weakest and least prepared.

But when Xiao Shi used the [Enemy Detection Talisman] to turn him from a hunter to a prey, the advantage of bounty hunters no longer existed.

“Look at what treasures this guy dropped!”

Xiao Shi rubbed his hands expectantly.

Open the storage bag.

Take out the items dropped by the other party after death.

This is a palm-sized mushroom.

[Name: Ice Crystal Mushroom]

[Type: Natural Treasure]

[Grade: Martial Arts Level]

[Introduction: It looks like a mouth mushroom and has the effect of strengthening the internal organs. ]

[Note: It will continue to breed ice crystals in the body. Do not use it without a strong body. ]

…

Sure enough, only powerful martial artists who have entered the martial arts realm are likely to drop natural treasures!

Xiao Shi was filled with joy.

Last time, the treasures dropped by killing a martial artist at the seventh level of the martial realm.

This time, the treasures dropped by a martial artist at the eighth level of the martial realm.

Through these two kills, we can see that…

The chance of dropping treasures from martial artists at the seventh level or above is very high.

As long as he kills more martial artists at the martial realm with this strength, it will not be difficult to collect nine treasures and complete nine body refinings.

Under such a drop mechanism, martial artists below the seventh level of the martial realm are suddenly not so attractive.

Although they also have a chance to drop treasures and other high-quality items, the chance is very small.

It is still faster to kill martial artists at the seventh level or above.

Xiao Shi picked up the entire [Ice Crystal Mushroom], his eyes glowing with excitement.

According to the record of the body refining technique “Nine Refining Vajra Body”

In the nine body refinings of the martial realm, after three successful body refinings, some additional changes and improvements will occur.

He really wanted to know what kind of changes and improvements!

Thinking of this.

Xiao Shi immediately began to use the [Ice Crystal Mushroom] in his hand to start the third body refining.

…

At the same time.

In a study room of the Night Patrol Department.

Captain Ding, with narrowed eyes, stood aside with his hands down.

He had reported this incident to the Director of the Night Patrol Department.

The Director of the Night Patrol Department was over 40 years old, with phoenix eyes, eye bags, thick eyebrows, and a circle of beard around his mouth that showed the charm of a mature man.

He was elegant and majestic.

With a powerful cultivation that surpassed the martial realm, Jinyun City, where he was in charge, was as stable as a rock.

After hearing Captain Ding’s report at this time, he picked up the teacup, blew the hot tea gently, took a sip, and said lightly.

“No need to check.”

“Since the other party is unwilling to show up, there must be a reason for it.”

“To be able to kill a bounty hunter who has entered the eighth level of the martial realm with one sword, and to disappear without a trace in a very short time, this is not something that ordinary martial artists who have entered the ninth level of the martial realm can do!”

“Since the other party has no intention of showing up, if we forcefully find him, we will offend him instead.”

“For such a strong man, it is not appropriate to make an enemy, but to show goodwill to him.”

Captain Ding nodded and asked in confusion.

“What should we do?”

The head of the night patrol took a sip of tea.

“Now, in addition to us, the Senluo organization must also want to know who killed their bounty hunter. In this case, let’s help this strong man and distract the attention.”

“Later, you will announce to the public that the person who killed the bounty hunter was a night patrolman who did not want to reveal his name.”

“On the one hand, it can distract the attention of the Senluo organization.”

“On the other hand, we can also use this name to make the Senluo organization afraid of us.”

Captain Ding’s eyes lit up.

In their hearts, they couldn’t help but admire the director’s calculation.

They all knew that the possibility of this mysterious strong man being a night watchman was almost zero. If they announced that the other party was a night watchman, they could help this strong man very well, disrupt his sight, and win his favor.

At the same time, they could also tell the Senluo organization that there was a mysterious strong man in our Night Watch Department who specialized in killing bounty hunters!
