Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou finally rushed within fifteen meters of Baili Shang and saw him suddenly flick his Fish Scale Sword, sending it shooting out.

He said, "Sword Control Technique."

The flying sword danced in the air. As long as he pinched the sword seal, he could kill. The flying sword danced with immense destructive power, slashing towards Ximen Shang's face.

Ximen Shang was shocked, not expecting Li Ergou to be a sword cultivator.

A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he took out a different kind of talisman from his怀中, actually a talisman treasure.

This item was the power of a magical treasure sealed into a specially made talisman, possessing one or two-tenths or more of the magical treasure's power. The most powerful aspect was the ability to instantly use the magical power within, causing immense destruction. This item was extremely precious and valuable.

Even Ximen Shang was reluctant to use this item, but seeing Li Ergou's aggressive approach, he was furious and said, "Damn you, you forced me to do this."

Saying that, he released the talisman treasure's energy without hesitation. Instantly, boundless killing intent spread like rolling dark clouds. Li Ergou felt a crimson red before his eyes, and red sand filled the sky like a surging tide, carrying endless terrifying power as it surged towards him.

Li Ergou was horrified and quickly exerted all his strength, gathering all his magic power onto the Xuanwu Armor. However, the red sand was extremely terrifying, tearing apart the invincible Xuanwu Armor as easily as crushing dry weeds.

The red sand continued to bombard him relentlessly, but its power had been reduced significantly. Li Ergou had no time to care about his injuries because he saw Ximen Shang trying to jump from the second floor and escape.

He couldn't help but think that if he let him escape, with this person's abilities and power, not only would he be unable to kill him in the future, but his own life would be in danger. So, he ignored the pain on his body.

He gritted his teeth and sacrificed his flying sword at the cost of his life. The power of the flying sword was extremely fast. A half-foot of sword light flew out from the Fish Scale Sword, like a sharp sword, piercing into Ximen Shang's chest with a whoosh. The Fish Scale Sword emerged from his back, dripping with scarlet blood.

Ximen Shang screamed, looking at Li Ergou in disbelief and said, "You... you dare to kill me? My brother-in-law won't let you go."

At that moment, Li Ergou leaped in front of him, looked into Ximen Shang's eyes, and rebuked in an extremely suppressed and angry voice, "Ximen Shang, I'll let you die knowing why. You killed my brother's entire family, causing them to be ruined and their family destroyed. You also raped and plundered, committing all kinds of evil. Today, I represent those you killed and sentence you to death."

Ximen Shang finally showed a look of fear, pleading with a face full of sorrow, "I was wrong, Brother Gou, no, Grandpa Gou, spare my life. I'll never dare to do it again. I swear, I swear I'll never do evil again. Forgive me, forgive me."

Li Ergou didn't have time to listen to his nonsense. He formed a sword seal, and the Fish Scale Sword shone brightly, suddenly emitting a buzzing sound.

"Don't..."

"Stop..."

Just then, several loud shouts came from behind him.

But it was too late. As Li Ergou activated the sword seal, a cold light flashed, and the Fish Scale Sword burst out with powerful force, directly cutting Ximen Shang in half, exploding into a cloud of blood mist, truly dying without a complete corpse.

In an instant, he saw that Ximen Shang had a Qiankun bag around his waist. This was a good thing.

With quick eyes and hands, he took advantage of the blood mist to directly suck the Qiankun bag from Ximen Shang's waist into his palm, and also picked up the talisman treasure on the ground. All of this was completed in the blink of an eye, as smoothly and cleanly as flowing water.

At this moment, he turned his head to look. The red sand just now was an indiscriminate attack, regardless of friend or foe. Dozens of people were lying on the ground, their life or death unknown. The flowing blood stained the Mandarin Duck Building scarlet, and a bloody aura permeated everywhere.

At the staircase, County Constable, Huang San, and Head Constable Wang were all there, along with a dignified middle-aged man dressed as a scholar, who came up together.

The shouts were issued by the County Constable and the scholar at the same time, but it was all too late. Seeing the mess on the ground.

A trace of unspeakable color flashed in the County Constable's eyes.

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged scholar and said, "Bold, you dare to kill someone in the street. Men, take him down for me."

Head Constable Wang and Huang San looked at the County Constable with some embarrassment, seemingly waiting for his decision.

The County Constable said with a helpless expression, "Li Ergou, you are indeed a bit excessive. First, go back with Head Constable Wang and explain the matter."

He gave Huang San and Head Constable Wang a look, and the two understood and immediately came up. Huang San whispered, "Ergou, that is the County Clerk, who just returned from studying outside."

Li Ergou understood in his heart. He said, how could this person have such great official authority? It turned out to be the County Clerk. You must know that the yamen and the county magistrate's office are located in different places. Moreover, this County Clerk has been studying outside and is not in the county, so it is understandable that Li Ergou does not know.

He looked towards the Big White Elephant and whispered, "Third Brother, there is a friend of mine over there. Please take good care of him and don't let him get involved."

Huang San was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Don't worry."

Li Ergou walked to the County Clerk's side and immediately noticed the anger in the County Clerk's eyes, as well as the undisguised killing intent.

He heard him say, "Zhou Bin, this kind of scum must be executed with the most cruel means."

County Constable Zhou Bin remained silent, not speaking, and did not know what he was thinking.

Life in prison was not bad. Li Ergou ate roast chicken and drank good wine. After all, everyone was a colleague, and Li Ergou's identity was very different. Most importantly, everyone admired his courage.

What a joke, that Ximen Shang was the most ferocious of the three great pests of Kushui County, known to everyone. Over the years, any girl he took a fancy to was harmed by him, making the people of Kushui County miserable.

If anyone dared to sue him, their family would be ruined. After such a person died, people on the street actually began to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Everyone also began to spread the story of Li Ergou, praising his courage even more.

When the folk rumors spread that Li Ergou was going to be executed, everyone was unwilling and prayed for him. Some people even organized a petition of ten thousand people to ask the government to release Li Ergou.

For a time, Li Ergou's reputation among the people began to spread rapidly. Everyone in Kushui County knew about him.

In a bungalow, Zhang Kui ate tonic while listening to his wife, Wang Shi, recounting Li Ergou's bloody battle at the Mandarin Duck Building. Zhang Kui was so excited that he was in tears.

He couldn't help but say, "Alas, I really didn't expect Brother Gou to be so righteous. In order to avenge me and Wang San, he didn't hesitate to kill Ximen Shang. How can I repay this great kindness? If Brother Gou is okay, I, Zhang Kui, will definitely follow him to the death."

In another room, the Big White Elephant slowly woke up. He only felt pain all over his body. It turned out that he had been cut with many huge wounds, all of which were superficial wounds and did not matter.

The most serious injuries were those caused by the red sand, with more than a dozen small holes punched in his body, injuring his bones and causing burning pain. Fortunately, the Big White Elephant survived and did not die.

At this moment, he was very worried about Ergou, and he didn't know what to say to this brother in his heart. Instead, he secretly vowed that as long as he didn't die, he would stand in front of Ergou and be his meat shield.

In the prison cell, Li Ergou looked at the scars burned by the red sand on his body and felt a little sorry for his snakeskin coat, which had been punched with several small holes. Speaking of which, the red sand was really powerful. If his skin wasn't tough, he would have been hit into the bones.

He carefully recalled the previous battle, constantly thinking about how to deal with the enemy in the future. This fight allowed him to gain more experience in dealing with Shinto cultivators, and also once again verified his strength. Dual cultivation of magic and martial arts was indeed, as Wu Shenxian said, much more powerful than cultivating a single discipline.

After thinking for a moment, he flipped his wrist and took out Ximen Shang's storage bag,得意道 in his heart, "Hehe, Ximen Shang, oh Ximen Shang, so what if you were arrogant? Didn't you still kick the bucket? I'll see what good things are in your Qiankun bag."
