Chapter 3: Chapter 3 I spared him, who will spare me?! (Please favorite)
Merit!
One tael seven qian!!
Qin Zheng's eyes suddenly brightened.
With this one tael seven qian of merit, perhaps he was ready to bring the Ghost Head Saber Technique to Perfection!
Although the Ghost Head Saber Technique was not an extraordinarily powerful martial art, achieving Perfection should suffice to keep him alive!
Moreover...
Slaying criminals could earn him merit.
Those who needed to be beheaded at this execution ground were all people of extreme wickedness!
As the Executioner, he was the one who chopped off the heads of these criminals!
This meant that even if he did nothing else, he only needed to continue his work as the Executioner at this execution ground.
He would have a constant flow of evil people coming to him, bringing him merit!
This was much simpler than going out to perform acts of chivalry and good deeds!
Thinking of this, Qin Zheng suddenly felt that the job of an Executioner was specially tailored for him, an irreplaceable good opportunity!
Delight surged in Qin Zheng's heart, and he immediately turned his gaze toward the still shouting young man next to him.
At this moment in his eyes, the other party was no longer a deeply evil person, but a shining piece of merit!
He took a deep breath gently, calming the somewhat restless emotions within his heart.
Qin Zheng gripped the Ghost Head Greatsword, waiting for the moment when the order was given, and his beheading token fell, his sword would swing down, heads would roll, and merit would be his!
Shi Yan did not react, assuming that this Executioner, who had luckily survived, was feeling scared because of what he had just said.
He sneered and continued, "Let me tell you the truth, I am the Young Gang Leader from the Cicada Gang of Black Goose City!"
"You should know what you ought to do and what you ought not to do!"
As soon as these words left his mouth, a loud voice suddenly resonated in the execution ground.
"The time has come, behead!!"
In the pavilion, Ji Changyin emotionlessly tossed out the beheading token.
Upon receiving the order, Qin Zheng's eyes sparkled slightly, he immediately picked up the strong liquor beside him, took a wild gulp first, and then fiercely sprayed it onto the broad blade of the Ghost Head Greatsword in his hand.
The chilling blade emitted a cold air, causing Shi Yan's heart to begin trembling.
Someone come quickly!
Father! Come save me!!
Qin Zheng fixed his gaze on Shi Yan's neck, his eyes determined, and then lifted his sword into the air.
The trick to beheading surfaced, his eyes hardened, and he swiftly chopped down!
"Spare his life!!"
Bang!!
Just at this critical moment.
From among the spectators outside the execution ground, suddenly a loud shout exploded.
The sound was like thunder, reverberating all around.
Immediately afterward, several figures in black violently broke through the blockade, two of whom headed straight toward the pavilion where Ji Changyin was.
"How dare you!!"
Ji Changyin bellowed angrily, immediately stood up, grabbed the long saber next to him, and engaged in a fight with the two in black.
At the same time, another person swiftly sprinted towards Qin Zheng, who was in the midst of swinging his blade.
The incoming figure moved as swiftly as a cheetah, covering dozens of meters in an instant.
In just the blink of an eye, he was nearly upon Qin Zheng.
At that moment, the Ghost Head Greatsword's blade was just about to touch Shi Yan's nape.
Whoosh!!
Suddenly, two beams of silver light flashed briskly.
A sense of crisis exploded in Qin Zheng's heart.
Under this sense of crisis, he was forced to quickly lift the long saber and managed to block the two poisoned darts flying toward him.
By this time, the man in black had already reached Qin Zheng.
He didn't make any unnecessary movements, instead he quickly picked up Shi Yan from the ground and turned to flee.
"Why did you act only now!"
Shi Yan, still in the midst of his impending beheading scare, immediately cursed out loud to release the fear in his heart.
The man in black frowned slightly, but said nothing more, only glancing at Qin Zheng with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
As Qin Zheng watched the two attempting to escape, he immediately held the Ghost Head Greatsword, took a step out, and then swung it down.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Qin Zheng roared, his strength suddenly erupting.
The Ghost Head Saber Technique was swift and fierce, shadowing them closely, the chilling blade light instantly covering the two who were about to flee.
Whoosh!
The man in black, now carrying a person, was much slower than before and could not dodge this strike.
He forcefully threw Shi Yan towards the way they had come and swiftly turned around, his sleeves revealing nimble daggers.
Then, with a leap, he aimed to close the distance with Qin Zheng, his twin daggers targeting Qin Zheng's heart and neck.
Qin Zheng's eyes flickered, he took a step back and immediately countered with the Ghost Head Greatsword against the two daggers.
Approximately five feet long and weighing thirty kilograms, the Ghost Head Greatsword might not be as agile as the opponent's weapon.
But with every clash, it made the man in black's hands tremble!
This body of Qin Zheng, which could inherit the remnants of his ancestors and continue to act as an executioner, naturally had an extraordinary strength!
The two fought evenly, anxiety consuming the heart of the man in black.
He was skilled in Qinggong, but his combat skill had not been perfected, only enough to barely protect himself within Black Goose City.
He had thought he was rescuing someone from an executioner without martial skills and that he wouldn't need to intervene personally.
Who would have thought that the executioner knew martial arts and saber techniques!
As they stalemated for a moment, the soldiers in the execution ground had reacted and were swarming to surround them.
As for Shi Yan, bound by ropes at hands and feet, he could only squirm forward with difficulty.
"Trap him!"
Qin Zheng bellowed, then with one strike, drove the man in black into the soldiers' encirclement.
He then freed himself and quickly crossed several steps to reach the squirming Shi Yan.
He lifted him up at once.
At this moment, Shi Yan's face no longer held any arrogance, filled entirely with panic.
"I beg you! Let me go!"
"If you let me go, my father will give you anything you want!"
"Let me go, the colonel took my father's bribes, he won't blame you if you release me!"
Shi Yan said in a panic.
Upon hearing these words, Qin Zheng's eyes hardened.
Then, a tumult arose among the crowd outside the execution ground.
Clearly, seeing the situation change, someone was attempting to enter the execution ground to save others!
Qin Zheng did not hesitate. He immediately let go of Shi Yan, then stepped on his back, pinning him down.
He could pretend to let go, but would the Cicada Gang behind him let go of him?
Moreover, the dark palm print on his chest didn't leave Qin Zheng time to behead another.
If he didn't secure this merit today and seek a change, what awaited him was also a dead end!
Thinking this, Qin Zheng's eyes filled with resolve, and then with one hand, he lifted the Ghost Head Greatsword and aimed it at the back of Shi Yan's neck, savagely chopping down!
Splat!
The head rolled to the ground, and the bright red blood mixed with steam burst forth.
The merit was instantly secured!
Before Qin Zheng could rejoice, a loud shout came from outside the execution ground:
"My Son!"
Soon afterwards, a powerful aura emerged.
Qin Zheng's face darkened, and he immediately delved a part of his spirit into his Heart Sea.
Turning to the scroll, he mentally shouted, "Ghost Head Saber Technique, enhance!"
