Chapter 104: Return to the City; Trouble (2)

Although it was usually not open at night, the hunters had special privileges in many cities.

If it was a hunter they knew well or held urgent information, the guards would let them in.

The gate quickly rose halfway, and Zhou Jing walked in with Ross.

The four guards surrounded him and looked curiously at the cloth bag at Zhou Jing’s waist.

“What’s in here?”

“Evidence.”

“What?” The four of them were stunned.

At this moment, Zhou Jing suddenly attacked. His arms seemed to leave afterimages as he slapped the guards’ helmets.

Plop plop plop

Before the four of them could react, they were knocked out and to the ground.

Zhou Jing waved his hand. He still tried his best to control his strength when facing ordinary people.

He did not want to be questioned. Even if he could make up a reason, he would have to wait for the guard to announce him before he could see the lord. He did not want to give Lutt more time to prepare.

This was to be a sudden attack!

As soon as he opened the city gate, Zhou Jing did not delay and directly rushed to the Lord’s House in the city center with Ross.

In the study on the second floor of the Lord’s House.

The room was bright with candlelight. Lutt flipped through the ledger, occasionally glancing out the window.

The window here looked down on the castle gate. He was waiting for Maggi to return.

“It took too long… Seven against one, logically speaking, it should have been resolved long ago.”

Lutt frowned, dissatisfied with the efficiency.

He expected Maggi to have quietly captured Zhou Jing and brought him into the dungeon for interrogation.

Of course, this was the ideal situation.

And the worst outcome, Lutt had expected, was that Maggi and the others would fail in their ambush, and Zhou Jing would slip away.

However, he understood their courage. They would not go overboard. There was a high chance that they did not have the intention to kill Zhou Jing. Therefore, even if Zhou Jing escaped, he still had room to turn the situation around.

If possible, Lutt would prefer the buzz-cut man beside him to carry out this mission. But, unfortunately, the latter was not his subordinate, so he could not order him around.

However, he didn’t think it would be a problem for seven Mutant Blood Warriors to take down a First Enhancement Mutant Beast Hunter.

Lutt was deep in thought when he glanced out the window and saw two figures speeding down the street toward the castle entrance.

The guards on both sides of the door immediately stopped them.

Lutt immediately recognized Zhou Jing, who was covered in blood and was shocked.

“Why did he come over himself? Where are Maggi and the others?”

He hurriedly stood up and leaned towards the window to take a closer look.

However, in the next moment…

Boom!!!

From downstairs came the sound of the door breaking, mixed with the guards’ cries of pain.

“Oh no!”

Lutt’s heart skipped a beat.

He hurriedly walked out of the study to the corridor that overlooked his hall.

At this moment, the door had already shattered into pieces. A few of his guards were lying on the ground, screaming in pain.

Zhou Jing walked in on the fragments of the door as he slowly pulled out his two blades. At that moment, it was as if he was shrouded in the moonlight.

The commotion here alarmed everyone in the castle. Groups of guards appeared from all over and quickly surrounded the duo. There were about 30 of them.

“Jason! What are you doing!”

Lutt gripped the railing of the second floor and looked down at Zhou Jing as he angrily shouted out.

Zhou Jing looked up and saw Lutt on the second floor. He casually opened the cloth bag at his waist.

Roll, roll, roll…

The heads of Maggi and the other guards rolled out.

Lutt’s eyes widened, and his breath caught.

They… They’re all dead?

Seven against one, and they were all killed?!

Lutt was confused.

“Can you explain to me why these lord’s guards would try to kill me halfway on my journey back?”

Zhou Jing spoke in a deep voice.

Lutt suppressed his shock, took a deep breath, and shouted at the guard. “Seal the doors!”

The guards immediately took action. They circled around Zhou Jing and blocked the entrance of the residence.

Zhou Jing took a look and did not stop them. Instead, he tilted his head and looked at Lutt.

“You’re not going to explain?”

“This person killed seven of my guards for no reason. Take him down first!”

Lutt had no intention of responding. Instead, he solemnly ordered the soldiers.

The first thing he wanted to do was to explain and get rid of the blame, but on second thought, he suddenly realized that there was no need to explain anything. Zhou Jing had killed seven of his guards and even barged into the castle. He had the moral high ground right now. The more he said at this moment, the more mistakes he would make. There was no need to be in a hurry to say the reason behind it. There was no need to respond to Zhou Jing’s “one-sided story.” Instead, he directly focused on Zhou Jing’s current actions and made a fuss out of them. He treated Zhou Jing as a murderer and immediately commanded the guards to take him down.

This way, he could regain the initiative, and no one could say that he had done anything wrong.

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards were about to follow his orders and surround Zhou Jing.

However, at this moment, Zhou Jing raised his two blades and pointed them to both sides.

“Come up if you’re not afraid of death.”

The guards immediately stopped.

Many soldiers swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Everyone knew the extraordinary combat strength of hunters. Facing Zhou Jing, who was full of killing intent, everyone immediately hesitated.

What a joke. They were all ordinary people. They wouldn’t dare fight a hunter!

The heads of the seven guards were still on the ground. Many soldiers did not want to join them in their “party.”

At this moment, a sharp sound suddenly rang out.

Swish!

Zhou Jing immediately raised his saber to block.

Pak!

A stone hit the blade and immediately exploded into pieces.

This strike contained a shocking impact, and Zhou Jing’s wrist trembled violently.

He hurriedly exerted strength with his fingers before he could grip his weapon tightly again, preventing it from flying out of his hand.

There was an expert!

Zhou Jing looked over.

The buzz-cut man he saw before nonchalantly walked out of the room behind the lord. He jumped over the railing on the second floor and landed lightly on the ground floor before walking towards Zhou Jing.

“Take him down!”

Lutt spoke solemnly from the second floor.

Ever since Zhou Jing came in, Lutt had never been afraid.

It was because of the buzz-cut man’s existence. His unfathomable combat strength was Lutt’s greatest source of confidence.

Although he usually could not command the buzz-cut man, once his life was threatened, the buzz-cut man would definitely attack.

Therefore, Lutt did not panic at all. He was not afraid of Zhou Jing.

The buzz-cut man ignored Lutt. Instead, he glanced at the heads of the Maggi and company before looking at Zhou Jing.

“Put down the blade, I won’t kill you. The lord will judge you instead.”

Hearing this, Zhou Jing immediately grinned from ear to ear.

On the other side, in the Hunter Tavern, many hunters were gathering and chatting.

“…Don’t doubt it. That Jason only used three months to master two Hunter’s Breathing Techniques. It’s comparable to our years of training!”

Weiss pounded the table and yelled.

The hunters in the tavern roared with laughter, and the room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

“Stop talking nonsense. You can brag, but be more realistic.”

“Jason is quite impressive, but you’re exaggerating. No one can do such a thing.”

Weiss seemed to be indignant. He straightened his neck and said, “If you don’t believe me, let’s make a bet! Two hundred silver coins each. Do you dare?!”

The scene fell silent.

Then there was an even louder burst of laughter.

“Hahaha, are you trying to give us money?”

“Can you afford it?”

“Come, come, come. Those who don’t bet are raised by mutant beasts!”

Everyone laughed and agreed to the bet. They just wanted to see Weiss make a fool of himself.

“None of you had better go back on their word!” Weiss shouted.

“Haha, as long as you don’t regret it, we definitely won’t.”

“It’s a deal!”

Weiss seemed to be angry, but he was actually laughing in his heart.

Barong’s move was really effective!

Although that guy had thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was not inferior to others when it came to scamming people.

Weiss had been a sucker before. At this moment, he was using his rich experience to scam others.

He had made a killing this time! When the time came, he would split the profits with Jason!

Weiss was secretly delighted.

Meanwhile, Weber sat alone in the corner of the bar, drinking alone. He glanced over speechlessly and had no intention of participating in the bet.

At that moment, a loud bang came from the center of the city.

It was as if a building had collapsed.

The hunters present were shocked. They immediately stopped laughing and looked out of the window.

However, in the dark night, no one could see what was happening in the center of the city.

Weber got up without hesitation and walked out of the tavern with his weapon on his back.

“Let’s go take a look. Don’t let some flying mutant beast land.”

Hearing this, the expressions of the hunters turned serious. They put down their wine cups and headed toward the source of the loud noise.
