Chapter 398 - Late Stage of Innate

"Why did you attack my Black Tiger Gang?"
Amidst a sea of blood, someone finally stood in front of the agents from the Eastern Agency.
This was a slender man with a cold, harsh expression on his face. He had a shaved head and a faint scar on his cheek, radiating a chilling aura.
He held a black iron stick in his hand, which was as tall as a person. The surface of the black iron stick was carved with some subtle patterns.
It looked like a dragon and a tiger.
It was particularly majestic.
This person is Chen Heihu, the leader of the Heihu Gang.
He was resting in the room when he heard the news of a massive attack on Heihu Village. Immediately, he grabbed his own iron rod and rushed out. Then he saw these agents from the Eastern Factory who were killing recklessly.
He knocked back two people with an iron rod.
Then, he saw this Qianhu of Dongchang, who is Chen Kang.
The black iron rod heavily stabbed into the ground, smashing the stones on the ground into pieces, splashing debris.
Cracks spread on the ground like spider webs.
Chen Heihu's gaze, like a fierce tiger, seemed as if he wanted to devour Chen Kang.
"Why?"
Chen Kang looked coldly at Chen Heihu and smiled, "...
"Just because you are a bandit, and we are officials."
"Killing you, exterminating you, no reasons needed!"
Whoosh!
In that instant, Chen Kang swiftly lifted the long spear in his hand, then pointed the spear tip towards the location of Chen Heihu. The spear tip glimmered with a faint red light, chillingly cold.
He smiled and said,
"I thought you would be like others, hiding and fleeing everywhere like a scaredy-cat, but I didn't expect you to show up. With this kind of courage, I'll give you a good fight."
As soon as the words fell, Chen Kang's wrist flicked vigorously, and the Pear Blossom Spear was already carried with a lightning-like coldness, stabbing directly towards Chen Heihu. In the blink of an eye, the spear tip of the Pear Blossom Spear was already in front of Chen Heihu's face.

The above is extremely sharp and cold.
It seems to have shaken the air, causing tiny cracks.
And that sharpness has caused a strand of black hair on Chen Heihu's face to flutter.

"Overestimating his abilities!"
"Castrated dog!"
Facing Chen Kang's attack, Chen Heihu showed no fear. He swiftly kicked below the iron rod, causing it to spin and block his path.
Boom!
The middle part of the iron rod hit the tip of Chen Kang's pear blossom spear, while at the same time, Chen Heihu's body slightly bent downwards, just dodging the stab of the pear blossom spear.
Splash!
Chen Heihu's body twisted again, using the strength of his waist to rotate. At the same time, he kicked towards Chen Kang's lower leg. This kick seemed ordinary, but given Chen Heihu's strength, if it really hit, it would bring a lot of trouble to Chen Kang.
Movements in the feet will be significantly slower.
Pa!
There was no hesitation from Chen Kangbing. He saw the pear blossom spear being retracted and the tip of the spear handle poking the ground. Then, using this force, he was already soaring through the air.
Chen Heihu's foot kicked into thin air.
However, he continued to kick towards Chen Kang's gun handle.
Splash!
Chen Kang's body was in mid-air, but his hands had already used internal force to lift the pear blossom gun from the ground. Immediately after, his body turned sideways in mid-air and directly stabbed the gun towards Chen Heihu's neck.
That sharp tip of the gun seems to be piercing the latter's neck.
Boom!
At this moment, Chen Heihu's body is almost touching the ground. Originally, exerting any more force would be restricted by his body. However, he directly uses the power from his waist to sweep the iron rod in front.
There was a muffled bang.
This iron rod is what shattered Chen Kang's Pear Blossom Spear. Sparks flew and both men were forced to retreat.
They each retreated about ten feet.
Both men's faces became serious.
Before they started fighting, Chen Kang thought that Chen Heihu was just an ordinary martial artist who couldn't match his Pear Flower Spear, while Chen Heihu thought that Chen Kang was just a normal official who couldn't withstand his Black Iron Club.
However, both of them now realize that they have underestimated each other.
Whether it is Chen Kang's Pear Blossom Spear or Chen Heihu's Black Iron Club, both are extremely cold.
The techniques are also very spicy.
"I didn't expect to find such a skilled person in the court. I underestimated you!"
Chen Heihu clenched the black iron club tightly in his hands, with veins popping on the back of his hand and arm. With a fierce shake of his wrist, the head of the black iron club created a blossoming pattern.
There was also a low and deep howling sound in the air.
"As a hero in the martial world, you have quite some skills!"
Chen Kang's pear blossom spear in his hand was shaking slightly, and the red tassel on the spear tip seemed to be rising like flames.
He looked coldly at Chen Heihu and smiled,
"Meeting a worthy opponent in chess today is quite enjoyable!"
"Please!"
Meeting a worthy opponent in chess is a great pleasure in life.
Chen Kang hasn't had such an exhilarating battle in a long time, so the blood in his heart is also ignited, and his eyes are full of fighting spirit.
"What you said is right. Meeting a worthy opponent is a great joy in life. Let's have a fierce battle!"
Chen Heihu also agrees with Chen Kang's words.
During the years at Heihu's Lair, he had encountered many people to spar with, but either the opponents were too strong and he was powerless, or the opponents were too weak and he easily dominated them.
I have never encountered an opponent like Chen Kang before, who is completely on the same level as me.
Today is the first time I have felt the thrill of facing a worthy opponent in chess.
Therefore, I have a sense of exhilaration from this battle.
It is impossible to have a good day today.
Thousands of agents from the East Factory have arrived here, and they are bound to destroy the Black Tiger Gang. Since there is no way to escape, why not have an intense battle?
And it's worthy of my martial arts.
A lifetime of glory.
"Please!"
Both individuals have the desire for life and death struggle, with a fierce fighting spirit burning in their eyes, like a raging fire.
In an instant, two people rushed towards each other.
The silver light and thunder on the tip of the pear blossom spear flickered, while the wind created by the swinging of the black iron rod was majestic.
Every collision between the spear and the rod in mid-air would emit dazzling sparks.
However, every time the two people get close to each other, they always go all out and clash.
The intense feeling of head-on collisions allows people to feel the grandeur and dominance within.
Boom!
Another hard clash, the tip of the pear blossom spear quickly descended along the pattern on the black iron rod, appearing directly in front of Chen Heihu's gripping right hand.
Chen Heihu was caught off guard for a moment and saw a flash of blood. The tip of the pear blossom spear directly cut off his right thumb from the knuckle.
Puff!
Splashes of deep red blood splattered into the air, with even a finger grazed in the process.
Due to an injury on his thumb, Chen Heihu's right hand, which was gripping the iron rod, suddenly became useless, and the explosive force emanating from the iron rod also sharply diminished.
Ding ding ding!
Chen Kang took absolute advantage with his gun and naturally did not hold back. This long gun flashed like lightning, constantly flickering in front of his eyes. Every shot carried his maximum strength and fierce attack, all aimed at Chen Heihu's vital points.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a brief collision, Chen Heihu was left with only his left hand supporting him and was no longer a match for Chen Kang. His black iron rod in his hand suddenly trembled and flew out directly.
Immediately, the lily spear completely broke through his defense and directly pierced his chest.
Puff!
A strong splash of crimson flew up, and the lily spear instantly stabbed into his heart, then pierced through his back, with blood flowing from the tip of the spear.
Blood, slowly dripping down the barrel of the gun, fell onto the ground.
The blood droplets shattered into several pieces.
The soil on the ground slowly became soaked.
"Impressive marksmanship."
Chen Heihu looked at the gun handle on his chest, a smile appeared on his face.
Then, he coughed up blood and lost his breath.
Puff!
Chen Kang pulled the gun out of the latter's body, and a stream of bright red blood gushed out from Chen Heihu's heart. Then, the corpse slowly fell to the ground.
Red blood kept flowing from the latter's chest, staining all the soil beneath the corpse crimson.
Chen Kang stood in front of the body, watching the blood trickle down from the tip of the pear blossom spear, with a hint of regret in his eyes.
Sorrow for the enemy.
This is the first time in Chen Kang's history.
"Go well!"
Chen Kang muttered softly, then the expression on his face returned to calm, even peaceful.
He raised his head lightly and looked at the people still fighting.
Countless corpses had fallen on the ground.
Most, or even it could be said the vast majority, were from the Black Tiger Gang.
The eunuchs from the Shenwu Bureau, as well as the Fanyi staff of the Dongchang, hardly suffered any damage.
This was a completely one-sided and overwhelming massacre.
"After killing them all, burn this place to the ground!"
Chen Kang had completely lost the desire to continue fighting. He smiled and wiped the blood off the tip of his pear blossom spear while giving orders.
"Yes!"
The captain of the Eastern Factory received Chen Kang's order and respectfully saluted.
Chen Kang then put the pear blossom spear on his back and slowly walked towards the foot of the mountain.
Here, it seems that he is no longer needed.
……
Yunzhou City.
In the spacious yamen, there are still not many people.
Because of the original officials, Lu Xingzhou has already dealt with a large number of them using the incident of the Circle Square Church's rebellion.
In a short period of time, there are not enough officials to come up and take over.
And some officials who were transferred from outside were unable to arrive at their posts immediately.
This has led to a serious shortage of officials in the government office of Yunzhou City.
However, although there are fewer people, the efficiency of getting things done has not decreased.
On the contrary, it is even smoother than before.
Because Noah is here watching.
No one dares to have any other thoughts like before, and no one dares to slack off.
Furthermore, LUXINGZHOU has provided many people with opportunities, benefits, and rights, and these people don't have any intention of being lazy from the bottom of their hearts.
With such a great opportunity to show your abilities, if you still want to be lazy and slack off, then there is really no hope for you.
These people are all eagerly trying to climb up.
How could we miss this opportunity?
Therefore, the political affairs of Yunzhou City have actually not been greatly affected.
In the backyard of this government office.
Luxingzhou leaned against the small pavilion in the bamboo forest alone.
The weather in late autumn and early winter was still a bit cold, with gusts of wind blowing from a distance, swaying the bamboo forest continuously, making a rustling sound and creating a somewhat quiet atmosphere in this world.
The canoe leaned against the wicker chair.
The silver-white hair hung down, loose and flowing.
Swaying with the wind.
But the expression on that face remained calm like undisturbed water in a well.
It seems like not even a single breeze can move it.
He seems like he's already dead, with no trace of breath.
Completely like it vanished.
If it weren't for being able to see the apparent presence of the walking boat here, ordinary people wouldn't be able to sense his existence.
Can't fully feel his breath.
Chirping and chattering!
There was no change in the wind in the heavens and earth, but two birds flew over from a distance. They landed on the branches of the bamboo forest and looked around, seemingly not perceiving any threat from the hovercraft.
A bird flew down from above and landed on the back of Lu Xingzhou's right hand.
Lu Xingzhou didn't feel anything at all.
The back of his hand didn't move.
There was no change in the skin or muscles on his hand.
Even the inner strength that can actively protect the body from attacks completely disappeared, without any response, like an ox into the sea.
The signs are like this bird landing on a rock, on wood.
Chirping and chattering!
Chirping and chattering!
Immediately, another bird flew down from the top of the tree and landed on the back of the land boat, chirping at the other bird. Both birds had a sparkle of intelligence in their eyes.
The Land Rover still remained motionless.
This state continued like this.
After about half an hour or so, it seemed that the Land Rover finally reacted, and he slowly opened his eyes.
In his eyes, there is a kind of calm, indifferent, and profound light.
The feeling is that once you look at it, you will be deeply trapped.
There is absolutely no resistance.
Although Lixing Zhou opened his eyes, his aura is still so calm, stable, and without any fluctuation.
Neither of the two birds noticed anything and continue to chatter on his arm.
甚至，还有一只鸟趴在了他的手臂上，准备休息了。
看来这只鸟很喜欢这里。
“差不多了啊！”
陆行舟看着这两只已经安静下来的鸟，脸上露出了一丝淡淡的笑容。
那笑容里面，是一种心满意足的得意。
鸟雀能够落在自己的身上，并没有任何的反应，说明自己已经将气息完全的收敛了起来，再也不会外放了。
而同时，自己身上的那些生命气息，也是被收敛了起来。
就像是刚才那样，自己的生命好像是已经停止了一般，变成了一种没有生命的存在，和这些草木，山石，都变成了一样的东西。
这也就意味着，自己已经冲破了生死玄关。
生死在自己一念之间。
而不在天地之间，也不在自然之间。
这是突破先天后期的标志。
现在，自己应该算是差不多已经迈进了先天后期的门槛了啊……
