C200

From the Ferry Pier to Shanghai City, they were still about five miles away.

Meng Kang thought for a while, then threw the new clothes into his storage crystal. He was still dressed in his yellow border army uniform, with a Miao Dao at his waist, and followed the people on the pier into the city.

After paying a fee of half a tael of silver to enter the city and stamping a red stamp on the road, Lei Qu finally officially entered the city.

Meng Kang did not go straight to the marshal's residence. Instead, he first wandered around Vermillion Bird Street.

Compared to the calamitous city, which was full of danger and smoke, the Shanghai City was like a paradise. Whether it was the flood or the army, they all did not affect the ancient capital at all.

The residents of Shanghai City had only heard from the other tabloids about the disasters that had happened in the five cities, as well as the news that the imperial government had sent troops to help them. It was far away from their daily lives, but at most, they could only sigh and shake their heads, not take it to heart.

Those people who escaped to the Shanghai City from the calamity zone soon forgot about their past and blended into the prosperity that was before them.

Although many of them still lived in refugee camps near the city walls, they yearned to integrate into the city and become residents of Shang Jing.

In the end, humans were the animals that were best at forgetting. They threw all their unhappy thoughts to the back of their minds, and imagined the beautiful life that was about to come was just around the corner.

Meng Kang walked from the bustling and noisy Vermillion Bird Street all the way to the Western Workshop, yet it was as if his spirit had left his body.

Vermillion Bird Street had many official residences. The West Plaza was where the common folk lived. The fish and dragons were mixed here, and there were all the upper and lower class residences here. It also seemed like a market.

Both sides of the street were filled with small vendors, who were shouting with all their might just to earn a little bit of profit.

The street was filled with sounds of greeting and smiling faces. This was clearly a familiar culture between commoners. Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, they all hoped that the other party would take care of some business.

Meng Kang was going to cultivate the [All Living Beings].

He had to blend into the human society and experience the life of the people before he could truly become a part of the people.

In Meng Kang's eyes, this "Eternal Life Ji" …

The first chapter was not simply borrowing the emotions of all living things to practice the art of stealth. It also had the function of nurturing the thorny person's compassion.

The path of the assassin was to carry out justice for the heavens and to carry out the path of all living beings. It was not for personal gain. Only those who had a deep understanding of the suffering and joy of all living things would have a deeper understanding of the path of the assassin and fully implement it.

At this time, a commotion on the street woke Meng Kang from his deep thoughts.

A pure white fox beast rushed through the streets, trying its best to escape. It wasn't much bigger than a cat, but its movements were nimble and agile, giving off an appearance.

Following closely behind the white fox were several big horses that were sprinting at full speed. The red horse in the lead was a god. Under the superb riding skill of the horseman, it could still maintain its high speed in the complex streets.

However, in this way, it would be very difficult for the little commoners who set up stalls.

Seeing the big red horse crazily charging over, they hurriedly opened up their stalls to hide. Some of them had no time to dodge, so they could only pick up the valuable items from the stalls and roll on the ground.

As the red horse galloped over, it knocked down countless stalls and left the scene in a sorry state.

At this moment, it was unknown who's child was separated from their parents. The child cried and rushed to the middle of the street, unaware that he was standing in front of the red horse's hooves.

Seeing that the red horse was about to crash into the toddler, many people were so scared that they couldn't bear to look straight at it. They all closed their eyes.

Meng Kang's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to charge forward, a white figure flashed past unexpectedly. That person was much closer to him, and his movements were very quick as well.

It was a wandering child wearing white clothes. Relying on his strong martial arts, he forcibly threw himself over. Clearly, he wanted to save that child from the hooves of a horse.

The big red horse saw a person rushing out and was immediately startled. The sound of the horse's hooves became chaotic.

Right after the red horse, which was only half a body height, a Knight wearing a black armor and a red cloak coldly stared at the movements in front of him. Seeing the white robed travelling adventurer pouncing towards him, the Knight's mouth suddenly revealed a faint evil smile, and he immediately pulled out an iron spear from his back with lightning speed, throwing it forward with all his might.

As the short spear flew through the air, it let out a sharp whistle like a whistle. The bystanders could only see a streak of black light streak past them. That brave white-robed travelling adventurer's chest was pierced by the spear and nailed to the ground.

Meng Kang's heart trembled, and he rushed out without hesitation.

The owner of the big red horse seemed to be aware of the situation as he pulled on the reins to stop the horse from running away.

However, this big red horse was probably stimulated by the smell of the blood and refused to turn around. It actually raised its front hooves high and then heavily fell down.

Seeing a pair of bowl-sized hooves about to land on the tender bodies of a child, the onlookers' hearts were in their throats, and many people involuntarily cried out.

A yellow shadow flashed past, cutting into the space between the horse's hooves and the toddler. He turned around and picked up the toddler, then bowed with his back, forcibly taking the two hoof s on his back.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Meng Kang took a deep breath. With the protection of Wan Zhongshan's Qi, he released the Qi.

"Boom!"

The front hooves of the big red horse suffered from a burst of energy, its legs were broken on the spot, the entire body of the horse fell to the left, shocking the jockey who was on the horse so much that he immediately flew and landed.

Only now did Meng Kang clearly see that the jockey on the horse was actually a woman, and it was also a young woman. He was at most seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance could only be considered that of a middle-aged man.

When Meng Kang and the woman looked at each other, they could not help but glare at each other fiercely.

In an instant, the black horse behind him rushed over, the face of the black armored knight who had just killed the white clad travelling adventurer with his spear was ice cold. Without saying a word, he pulled out a blade from his waist, and used the momentum of the horse to slash ferociously at Meng Kang.

This slash was extremely aggressive, it seemed to slash both Meng Kang and the child in his arms into two, it was extremely ruthless and brutal to the extreme.

This black armored knight dared to recklessly kill a person under the feet of the Shanghai City's Heavenly Son. Without even thinking, one could already tell that he was a strong and confident person.

Using the momentum of the horse and the strength of the horse, this man combined the strength of his blade with his physical strength and instantly erupted, forming a terrifying combination. Ordinary martial artists were not a match for this strike.

Even if it was Divine Mystic Realm, under the premise that the domain had not been opened and that the preparations were insufficient, facing this surging blade strike, the only way was to avoid it for a while, unless it was a Life Taking Realm Ranker who could take this strike head on.

In the blink of an eye, the saber's light arrived in front of him. An intense killing intent surged out like a gale, indicating that this black armored Knight was naturally a cruel and easy to kill person.

Meng Kang instantly changed his state of mind and entered into a state of tranquility, reflecting all reactions from the outside world into his eyes, mind and heart.

The horse's running speed, the way the other party swung his blade, and the acceleration formed a clear structure in Meng Kang's mind.

It was too late. It was too soon!

The commoners on the street saw the ugly military man in the khaki uniform draw his sabre with lightning speed. The sabre was raised diagonally, drawing an extremely beautiful arc.

Meng Kang's blade was like an army waiting to be slaughtered. When the blade tip reached a certain height, it became extremely precise, and just happened to stay in place for a moment.

Immediately after, Meng Kang turned to the side with lightning speed and hugged the upper half of the child's body. He only felt a gust of wind blow past his face, and a few strands of hair in front of his forehead were cut off by the blade light, and slowly floated down.

As the horse and the man passed each other at lightning speed, the surrounding citizens cried out in alarm.

Immediately after, the black horse let out a mournful cry and fell to its knees. The horse's body was bleeding heavily, which immediately dyed the street red.

He stood there in a daze, staring at Meng Kang with a strange expression. Pointing at the Miao Dao in's hand, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Good blade!"

After saying that, a red line appeared on the waist of this black armored knight. With a cracking sound, this black armored knight broke into two pieces, landing on the ground with a thud, dying in the middle of the street.

"Hua!"

All of a sudden, the people in the surrounding area were all scared silly, and a large area of the crowd suddenly opened up.

Meng Kang thought that it was a fluke. This black armored knight had extraordinary strength, and the fact that he managed to kill him with just one slash was due to luck, moreover, he took a huge risk.

Someone did not want to expose his true combat strength, but just now, he did have the intention to kill this black-armored knight. That was because in the situation just now, either he had killed someone or he had been killed.

Meng Kang relied on his exquisite hand on the Underworld Saber Technique, not revealing his realm, at the same time allowing his opponent to underestimate his opponent, and at the same time borrowing the other party's momentum, to utilize the blade technique to its limits.

Of course, it was also thanks to the Miao Dao in his hand, if the blade's edge was not strong enough, Meng Kang would be the one to die.

Seeing that, the female rider on the big red horse was in a daze, her face filled with disbelief as she stared at the black armored rider who had been slashed into two. After a long while, she turned her gaze towards Meng Kang, her eyes blazing with fire.

Following which, the sound of galloping horses broke the silence of the street.

The eight war horses charged forward, and the warriors on the horses surrounded the female knight, protecting her.

Just then, Meng Kang felt that the sheath was slightly shaking. Lowering his head, he realized that the child in his embrace was actually very bold, he reached out his hand to touch the pattern on the sheath.

The child was fair and fat, like pink sculptures of jade. His pair of big black eyes were fearless, and he smiled at Meng Kang, looking very cute.
