C400 Screeching of wind and cranes

For the past half month, it could be said that everyone was panicking due to the appearance of the skinning demon. Dozens of people had already died here.

The identities of these victims varied, but they all had one thing in common. That was, they weren't weak, and could all be considered people of their own race.

It was one thing if the ones killed were the commoners, but if these people were killed, the Empire would naturally be under some pressure. Just this feeling of fear caused them to lose a lot every day.

The leader of the Rising Sun Empire Department, Cheng Zhi Ming, was sitting in his own yamen. In front of him was a middle-aged man; it was his assistant, Wang Bingzhi.

Wang Bingzhi said with a worried look on his face, "We've been under a lot of pressure recently. All the noble families are panicking, and now it's night time and everyone is panicking."

With a calm expression, Cheng Zhi Ming said, "Then what do you think about this matter? Do you have any preliminary candidates?"

Wang Bingzhi nodded his head and said, "I think the most suspicious ones should be those few guys who made a ruckus in the Clear Red House half a month ago.

Although I do not know the purpose of their skinning, I feel that this must be an extremely evil Cultivation Method, and it should be related to healing. "

Cheng Zhi Ming nodded and said: "I think more or less the same as you, but they are guests of the Fifth Prince. Don't say that we don't have evidence, even if we have evidence, what can we do about them?"

Wang Bingzhi said hesitantly, "Then let's just let them continue to do evil. If this gets out of hand, we won't be able to handle it."

A cold smile hung on Cheng Zhi Ming's face as he said: "They are in Fifth Prince's residence, of course we can't do anything to them, but if we were to kill them when they are committing a crime, there is nothing we can do even if we were to send them to Fifth Prince."

Wang Bingzhi said hesitantly, "But it looks like their background is not that simple. If we do this, it will cause unnecessary trouble. Why don't we go and talk to the Fifth Prince?"

Cheng Zhi Ming coughed and said: "Even if we have to talk to the Fifth Prince, we must first teach these fellows a lesson. Otherwise, we won't be able to come up with any results."

Wang Bingzhi nodded in agreement and immediately sent some men to arrange a lesson for those guys.

Soon it was night. Wang Bingzhi changed into a set of coarse linen clothes and hid his sharp blade on his body. He slowly walked on the street, his eyes secretly observing his surroundings.

He yawned and turned around to walk down a street. The night wind was blowing on the leaves, making this street look very desolate and cold.

He quickly stopped in his tracks. At the end of the street, there was a tall figure standing there. This person had a grimace on his face and his eyes were filled with a cold light.

A look of fear instantly appeared on his face. He quickly turned around and was about to run back, but he didn't expect that a fat man with a similar face would appear behind him.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and anxiously asked, "Who are you all? What do you want to do?"

That fat guy chuckled and said, "We don't want to do anything. We just want to borrow something from you."

Wang Bingzhi pulled out a short knife from his waist and said with trembling hands, "If you want to borrow anything, I can give it to you."

That big guy walked up to him in a few steps, and said in a fierce voice, "We want to borrow your skin. I wonder what you think?"

A smile suddenly appeared on Wang Bingzhi's face. He waved the dagger in his hand, and it turned into a blur.

He smiled and said, "If you like it, then take it. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Let's see where you two bastards can run to today."

Light lit up in the surroundings, and many constables appeared. These constables all had crossbows in their hands, and the arrows emitted a cold light as they pointed at the two men.

Wang Bingzhi laughed loudly, "Both of you, surrender immediately. I can consider letting you two go, otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless."

The big man looked around with disdain and said: "Do you think you can injure me with such a small thing? "I will skin you today and see what you can do about it."

Wang Bingzhi shouted, "You two really don't want to drink! Release the arrows!"

He said that when the whole person leaned back, a metal cover had appeared on his body and the crossbow bolts immediately shot towards them, densely covering the two of them.

The short fatty moved and hid behind the big man. The crossbow arrows pierced the big man's body, directly turning him into a hedgehog.

With a loud shout, the crossbow arrows on their bodies shot back. Since the constables were caught unprepared, they were thrown into a panic. More than a dozen of them were shot and fell from the rooftops, their lives unknown!

The remaining constables shouted as well. They took out their weapons and jumped down from the rooftop. Then, they rushed towards the two men.

Wang Bingzhi also reappeared, brandishing his dagger and attacked the short fatty, while the big man handed over the rest of the officers.

That fat guy's body swayed and he rolled to the side like a meatball. Then, with a move of his hands, a person appeared in front of him.

Wang Bingzhi was surprised to see this man. This man was one of the victims. He was a sword master himself, but he had seen his corpse before. Why would he be here now?

He saw that the man was holding a Longsword and thrusting it towards him. Wang Bingzhi dodged to the side and shouted, "Master Zhang, what is going on?"

That person, however, paid no attention to him at all. Instead, he swept his Longsword toward that person.

He noticed that this person's eyes were lifeless, and there was not even a hint of life in them. From this, he could determine that this person was clearly a puppet.

As for the other constables, they had no way to deal with that burly man. It was as if that fellow was covered with a layer of cowhide, and every attack he took was a complete defeat.

A constable let out a long and shrill howl, and a few other constable rushed out quickly after. They shook their hands and brandished the chains, which immediately entangled the big man tightly.

The constables began pulling on the chains. The chains were made of black iron and couldn't be broken at all. The constables used their power at the same time and pulled the big man down.

The big man was struggling on the ground, and the short fat man was also worried. Wang Bingzhi had seized this opportunity to chop off the puppet's head.
