Chapter 28 - He Died Just Like That? (1/2)

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

Peng Dongcheng could not believe his eyes.

He did not expect that a mere apprentice could block his sword and break the body of his sword with a ruler.

However, no matter how surprised he was, it was useless.

The reason for that was because the next moment, he saw the ruler swinging towards his head after breaking his sword.

Most importantly, he had no time to react.

The other party’s speed was too fast. When he thought of this and the fear in his eyes appeared, the ruler was already hovering above his head.

Bang!

A terrifying force that he had never felt before struck down like a thunderclap, smashing his skull and shattering his brain. He fell to the ground, motionless.

“He died just like that?”

Chen Shaojun stopped what he was doing and was a little puzzled.

In fact, the moment he recognized Peng Dongcheng, he was extremely nervous.

In his memories, the scene of Peng Dongcheng killing Zhao Quan’s family of seven with a single swing of his sword was still vivid in his mind. He knew very well that Peng Dongcheng was definitely a martial arts expert who killed others without batting an eye.

Thus, he didn’t hesitate in the slightest to immediately take out the only weapon he could take out, the Baleful Breaking Ruler. Then, he fiercely smashed it against Peng Dongcheng.

He did not know if the opponent’s long sword was too brittle or if he was too strong. Chen Shaojun only felt that the Baleful Breaking Ruler in his hand was especially useful.

With a clang, he broke the other party’s sword and smashed the ruler into him again.

The dull feeling in his hands made him feel uncomfortable.

The battle was over.

It ended too fast and in such an unexpected manner.

The opponent’s combat power was far weaker than what he had imagined.

“It should be because he’s too weak.”

“This person killed Zhao Quan’s family, who is made up of weak and ordinary people. Thus, it was naturally easy for him to kill them.”

“However, he probably can’t defend himself when faced with a true martial artist. That should be why I managed to kill him so easily.”

Chen Shaojun mumbled and quickly convinced himself.

He wouldn’t think that he was very strong.

After all, he had only practiced martial arts for a few days.

Even if his martial arts realm improved quickly, he only had strength but no skill. He could only fight but had no accomplishments.

Thus, he naturally could not compare to those real experts.

Since this person died so easily under his hands, this person was definitely not an expert.

“This killer was obviously coming for me. It’s a life-and-death battle. Of course, it’s better for him to die.”

“But what should I do next?”

“If someone dies, I have to deal with it, right?”

Chen Shaojun muttered to himself and was soon put in a difficult position.

If this person died in the courtyard, the authorities would definitely be alerted.

Even though Peng Dongcheng was the one who took the initiative to find trouble with Chen Shaojun, and Chen Shaojun could say that this was an excessive use of force in self-defense, how should he explain it?

How could an apprentice have the ability to kill such a murderer?

Should he dump this corpse?

That was a good idea.

But he had to find a place to dump the corpse, right?

Chen Shaojun had a headache.

“Why did you have to find trouble with me, out of all people?”

He spoke hatefully. He could not just leave this body in the pawnshop.

After thinking for a while, he picked up the corpse, walked to a corner of the courtyard, and threw it outside the wall.

After that, he threw Peng Dongcheng’s long sword, which had been cut into half, outside the wall as well.

Then, he remembered that there was an alley on the other side of the wall.

If he threw the corpse into the alley, he definitely wouldn’t be able to extricate himself from this matter. However, it was better than leaving the corpse in the backyard of the pawnshop, right?

In any case, as long as he did not admit it, no one would suspect that an apprentice pawnbroker like him was responsible for Peng Dongcheng’s death.

What about throwing the corpse further away?
