Then, Lin Yang charged directly towards the badly damaged Lin family compound. By this time, the green grass used to camouflage Lin Yang had long since fallen away. His full black armor, gleaming menacingly in the sunlight, was now completely exposed. Combined with the specks of blood on his sword, the sight was even more terrifying.
"This is bad! This man is ruthless and insane. He killed the patrol inspector without any fear. At this rate, we can't escape. In that case, let's fight to the death. If we win, we'll gain military merit. Even if we die, the court will remember us!" Wang Hua shouted.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Soon, a simple formation appeared. The four people at the front each carried a large wooden shield, about half a person's height. These shields were quite effective. Even if Lin Yang broke through the shields, his speed would inevitably be reduced.
Three meters behind were four men. These four held iron swords, ready to deliver a fatal blow once Lin Yang slowed down. The remaining three stood by, prepared to provide support at any moment.
Seeing this, Lin Yang couldn't help but nod. The Han Dynasty was truly incredibly powerful at this moment. Even the patrol officers in a small village like Dafeng Township had been trained to this extent. Moreover, each of them was fearless and valiant, truly deserving of the name "Great Han."
However, it was a pity. Then, Lin Yang suddenly whistled again. A surge of true energy followed, and the clear whistle sounded for over a hundred feet. Even many birds hiding in the jungle were startled and took flight.
"Oh, it's my turn again. Hmm, I'll aim at those four guys with shields in front of me." He muttered to himself as he raised the crossbow, which was already cocked.
"Now!"
With a click, the crossbow fired again. The immense recoil made Su Qing'er sway.
"Phew, this crossbow is incredibly powerful. The large yellow crossbows in the army also have this power, but they can't be controlled by one person. I wonder where Brother Peng got it from. Hmm, it must have come from another world."
Before they could react, the enormous arrow struck the wooden shield, piercing it and pinning the guard behind it to the ground.
ah
Accompanied by screams, before anyone could react, Lin Yang charged forward, catching them off guard.
This later had a grand name: infantry-artillery coordination. The Divine Arm Crossbow was like a cannon, and Lin Yang was the infantry. As soon as the cannon went out, the infantry charged forward, giving the enemy no time to react.
Lin Yang seized the opportunity instantly, a cold glint appearing as he channeled his domineering Longevity True Qi directly into the longsword. The sword, already forged from refined steel, became even more powerful. Nothing could stop it in its path.
"Wang Hua, Inspector Wang, please continue on your way." Lin Yang said with a smile, looking at the scattered corpses around him.
"You've gone mad, murdering an official and rebelling! I am an official, an official of the imperial court. Even if I'm just the lowest ninth-rank official, I'm still an official. After you kill me, you won't have a good end. I'll be waiting for you down there! Kill the traitor! Kill the traitor!" After saying that, Wang Hua charged forward.
"Hahaha, since ancient times, those who steal a hook are punished, while those who steal a country become nobles. It's just that you won't live to see that day." With that, he easily pierced Wang Hua with his sword.
"Kill the thief...kill...the thief."
"Because you will be completely destroyed, without even the chance to become a ghost." Looking at Wang Hua, who died with his eyes wide open, Lin Yang said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Calamity Scripture was activated at full power. Everyone's fate, fortune, and even the souls of those who had just died were instantly absorbed by Lin Yang and transformed into resources for his progress.
"The way of Heaven is to take from those who have too much and give to those who have too little!"
"The way of man is to take from the poor to give to the rich!"
Assessing his gains, Lin Yang frowned. At this point, the first-tier white destiny luck of these ordinary people was no longer of any use to him.
After all, Lin Yang's strength had already reached the peak of the first tier. To advance further, he would need to improve his destiny and then enter the second tier, which would require a second-tier red destiny luck.
"Oh, right, Brother Peng, what do we do next? Are we going to run for our lives? I think what this person said makes a lot of sense. No matter what, our actions can be considered killing officials and rebelling. We should run away as soon as possible." Looking at the corpses around them, Su Qing'er said anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang couldn't help but smile slightly. "Qing'er, don't worry. It won't be long before the imperial decree is issued. At that time, it will be our time to rise to prominence."
Lin Yang, possessing the original owner's memories, naturally knew what method the Spirit Emperor had used. With this imperial decree, all the chosen ones in the world would be grateful to the Spirit Emperor. Moreover, even the powerful families wouldn't dare to voice any objections.
"What do you mean?" Su Qing'er asked curiously.
Seeing this, Lin Yang's eyes darted around, and he immediately had a reason. "Well, it's like this, since ancient times, when major events such as the emperor's ascension to the throne occur, there has always been a general amnesty. Right?"
"Yes, when the emperor ascends the throne, in order to show his benevolence, he will pardon all but a very few rebel leaders. Even the most heinous rebel leaders will have their punishment reduced if they are willing to surrender."
"That's fine. In the end, we only killed a few dozen people. Besides, we can say it was self-defense, not intentional. Think about it, the Chosen One has been born. Such a big event, it would be normal for the Emperor to grant a general amnesty to celebrate, right?"
Upon hearing this, Su Qing'er's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "That's right, then let's hurry to the Wang family."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang was taken aback. His killing intent was palpable; he clearly understood the principle of eliminating all threats. No wonder he could kill so many inspectors without fear. Only someone like him could thrive in the Land of Reincarnation.
"Yes, you're right. We must nip this in the bud. Let's hurry to the Wang family."
...
Despite being clad in armor and fully armed, Lin Yang, whose body had already been successfully trained, didn't take the hundred-plus kilograms of equipment seriously at all. He jogged all the way and soon arrived at Master Wang's house.
At this time, everyone in the Wang family was in mourning. Even the maids and servants wore white flowers pinned to their clothes. They didn't dare to even breathe loudly when they went in and out.
"Old Wang, the hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. You killed my father first, and then poisoned me. Now, your death is at hand."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Yang kicked the door with a loud bang. The wooden door was utterly useless and shattered instantly. As for the two servants, each punched once, they lay on the ground groaning in pain.
Regardless of the facts, the first thing to do is raise the banner of avenging one's father; that gives one a legitimate reason to act. Suddenly, the nature of the matter changes from killing officials and rebelling to avenging one's father. Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he couldn't stop them from seeking revenge for their father.
"You, you little brat, how dare you come here! Where is my son? Quickly capture this brat and kill him to appease Kun'er!" Old Wang roared as he looked at Lin Yang.
At this moment, Lin Yang was wearing a blue robe, which effectively concealed his armor, and his face mask had also been removed. He still looked quite deceptive.
"This is your son, Wang Hua. Here you go." With that, a severed head was tossed over.
With a thud, the head rolled over. These servants were just ordinary people; how could they have ever seen such a scene? They scattered in all directions. Even the guests who had come to the door fled in panic.
"Oh no, oh no!"
"Run!"
"Hahaha, old man Wang, the hatred for killing your father is irreconcilable. But don't worry, I'll reunite your family soon," Lin Yang said loudly on purpose.
Old Wang is dead.
