Chapter 87.

When those words were uttered, there was a silence in the room.

Zhang Si Xian and Sheriff Xie both looked at each other, not understanding what exactly Zhou An meant.

Sheriff Xie laboriously stood up and said, “Zhou An, don’t say anything confusing, hurry up and go, I’ll stop him for you again.”

Zhang Si Xian was also struggling and said, “This is not the opponent you have encountered before, this is a true second-rate expert, he already has the air group and has already produced a qualitative change.”

It wasn’t that these two didn’t trust Zhou An, in fact, they had always had immense trust in him.

But the situation now was different.

The air of a second-rate expert was one that had already turned into an air mass, and the degree of purity was completely incomparable to that of a third-rate expert.

It could be said that a second-rate expert was completely capable of killing a third-rate expert in seconds.

The reason why Zhang Si Xian and Sheriff Xie were still alive was because County Magistrate Chen wanted to plant evidence.

They wanted Zhou An to run, and wanted Magistrate Chen’s plan to fall apart.

Only Ye Frost was different.

Ye Frost coldly said, “Zhou An, okay.”

She trusted Zhou An all the same.

Her character, cold and clear on the surface, was actually a girl with a pure heart.

Pure of heart did not mean stupid.

She was also on the scene, the only person who trusted Zhou An to be able to decapitate Second Stream.

Magistrate Chen’s tone became cold, and the brush in his hand lifted up, pointing straight at Zhou An.

“It’s good to have dreams, but don’t let them become empty talk.”

“Whether it’s empty talk or not, try it and you’ll know.” Zhou An slowly said.

He raised the long sword in his hand, and the aura on his body was gradually rising.

“Ye Frost!”

This time, he did not call Mr. Ye.

Ye Frost looked back at Zhou An coldly.

“Assist.” Zhou An said indifferently.

Ye Frost nodded and a handful of talisman paper emerged in her hand, which she threw out.

In the next moment, water, fire, ice, wind, thunder and lightning appeared in a flash.

The white light on Magistrate Chen’s body was struck by these talisman papers and shook slightly.

At the same time, Zhou An made his move.

He lifted the long knife in his hand, his feet stepping on the Swimming Dragon Steps, and arrived in an instant.

The long knife was like a rainbow, bringing up a blade light, but this time, the blade light was different.

The blade light did not leave the long knife, but rather coalesced on top of it.

It was free to retract and release, lifting the weight as if it was light.

The blade light was compressed at its limit.

Zhou An felt that the air in his body was being drawn out at a rapid pace.

This rate of depletion was more than twice as fast as before, but the blade light that was masked on the long blade was even denser.

“Snort!”

The long knife entered the light screen like a sharp blade entering a white cloth.

Magistrate Chen was startled.

“How is this possible!”

“He actually broke through my defense!”

“Is he still human?”

Not only him, even Zhang Si Xian and Sheriff Xie were stunned.

They knew how outrageous Magistrate Chen’s defense was, even if the four of them had joined forces to attack, they hadn’t let the defense break through.

Now Zhou An was just like cutting tofu, breaking it with ease.

“Old Xie, why do I see in him, later?” Zhang Si Xian said in a daze.

“I saw it too, it was as if I saw him standing above the mountains.” Sheriff Xie swallowed his saliva.

Battling a second-rate with a third-rate.

If this kind of battle result were to be spread, Zhou An would surely become famous.

They suddenly felt that they were a bit short-sighted.

Because all of this, was happening to Zhou An ah!

The two of them couldn’t help but think of the moment when Zhou An was in the woods and the Upside Down Beast Sect Master.

It happened to Zhou An, and everything impossible became possible!

“No! Impossible!”

Magistrate Chen looked at the long blade that was slowly approaching, and his tone was already tinged with madness.

He waved his brush to block Ye Frost’s Ice, Fire, Thunder, Rain, Snow and Wind.

The words that coalesced from the book above his head continued to converge in a matter of moments, finally turning into a single word.

“Kill!”

The word kill appeared and flew down on Zhou An’s chest.

With this one word, heaven and earth changed color.

However, what made Magistrate Chen not expect was that Zhou An did not dodge and let the word fall on his chest.

“Why didn’t you dodge!” Magistrate Chen roared.

Zhou An’s face was calm: “If I dodge, I won’t be able to kill you.”

The long knife ran through the Chen Magistrate’s chest.

The white light above the knife suddenly exploded.

A bloody hole surfaced in the left chest of County Magistrate Chen.

“Boom!”

Zhou An similarly flew backwards, only to feel his chest sink.

When the person was in mid-air, he felt who he was being caught by and turned his head to see that it was the cold and quiet Ye Frost.

Ye Frost wrapped one hand around Zhou An’s shoulders, and the other around Zhou An’s legs.

At the moment, with this catching position, the roles were somewhat reversed.

Ye Frost had just landed on the ground when he heard County Magistrate Chen’s frantic voice.

“Hahahaha, both die together, both lose, well well well, you succeeded, but you also have to die!”

County Magistrate Chen was cloaked in hair, his face was full of madness, and the bloody hole in his chest was flowing with blood.

He couldn’t figure it out!

Why did Zhou An want to die with him!

But now he understood.

“A lion fighting a rabbit still uses all its strength, so you want to die with me!”

Magistrate Chen dropped to the ground and looked at his empty left chest.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he was a second-rate expert, he would have already died of gas at this moment.

Just at this time, a voice suddenly rang out.

“Ye Frost, if you have to hug, I think it should be me hugging you, not you hugging me.”

Zhou An said very seriously.

Ye Frost was slightly stunned, and only then did she coldly place Zhou An on the ground.

Zhou An stood up, looked at the torn clothes on his chest, and let out a long breath.

“Fortunately, fortunately, this thing is really useful!”

The crowd then followed the line of sight and saw a soft armor in the tattered clothes.

At the moment, the soft armor was also badly torn, but it did not injure Zhou An.

“You! What is this!”

Magistrate Chen was in a state of madness.

Originally, he had thought that the two were going to die together, and had even prepared for it, but now he was unbalanced in his heart.

Apparently, Zhou An had relied on this soft armor and nothing had happened at all.

“This ah, I built it myself, what else, you think I’m crazy, I’ll die with you ah?” Zhou An smiled and said.

The reason why he was able to break through Magistrate Chen’s defense actually stemmed from the fusion within the Fusion Casting Method.

At the very beginning, he hadn’t used this move, but was exploring the bottom line of County Magistrate Chen.

When he saw that with one of his slashes, he was able to make the book sway slightly, he was already sure.

The Fusion Casting Method was a percentage boost.

To use a very common phrase – it was unreasonable.

Combined with the fact that he had compressed all of his slashes to the limit, breaking through the defense was normal.

As for the hard catch of a kill word, it came from the soft armor.

Actually, he wasn’t exactly a hard catch.

After piercing through Prefect Chen, the soft armor on his chest had already received the word kill, but he knew that if he really took it hard, he would definitely be injured.

So at the moment of crisis, he used the Swimming Dragon Steps and dodged the attack behind him.

In all of this, the soft armor played a crucial role.

After all, without the soft armor, by the time the killing word made contact with his chest, he himself would probably have already turned into a pile of broken meat.

Magistrate Chen froze.

Suddenly, he was a dead calm.

“Sure enough, all of you talented people are the ones who have been favored by the heavens, this world is just so unfair.”

He knew that he had lost, but tickling his previous memories, it was as if he thought of the injustice he had encountered in the imperial examinations.

Zhang Si Xian also finally recovered and stood up.

He and Sheriff Xie supported each other and looked at Zhou An with eyes that became very complicated.

This young man, could no longer be considered a person.

To take a third-rate and kill a second-rate, it was simply outrageous!

If this matter was spread out, it was estimated that not many people would believe it.

Ye Frost asked coldly, “Kill?”

Zhou An shook his head, “He doesn’t have much time left.”

When the blade light on the long knife exploded, it had already cut off all life.

Zhou An came in front of Magistrate Chen, looking at the dead expression on his face, he sighed, “There is no absolute fairness in this world.”

Magistrate Chen raised his head, the deathly gray on his face did not dissipate.

“Is this the consolation of a victor for you?”

“It’s useless, I’ve clearly experienced it.”

“You know what? Ever since I was a child I was indoctrinated by that asshole of a father, saying that I should study hard, and that only studying was the fairest of them all.”

“Later, one imperial examination, one division, I realized how ridiculous the word fair is.”

“Your efforts, in their eyes is a joke, I could have gone to a richer land ……”

Before he could finish his words, Magistrate Chen was interrupted.

This time, the one who interrupted him was not Zhou An, but the cold and clear Ye Frost.

Ye Frost, in this cold and clear state, said very little, but this time, he said a lot.

“His Majesty’s imperial examination, has done his best to be as fair as possible, he has truly done it, letting the children of the cold family have the possibility of getting ahead.”

“In fact …… there are many readers who have not stepped into the threshold and can achieve high positions.”

Magistrate Chen shook his head, “It’s not the same, I put in the effort, but why can’t I just step into that threshold?”

“Why do you want to step into the threshold?” Ye Frost asked.

Magistrate Chen was slightly stunned, then said, “If I don’t step into the threshold, how can I walk to the high places?”

Ye Frost said coldly, “Selection.”

Magistrate Chen was silent.

At this time, Zhang Si County took over.

“Actually …… His Majesty is changing.”

“But change takes time.”

“From the imperial examinations to the selection, the problem of the cold family entering the civil service has been solved, as for fairness, His Majesty is also thinking about it, it’s just that you can’t afford to wait.”

Sheriff Xie said, “In the end, you are actually a selfish person.”

“You’re ashamed of the woman who waited for you in the village, you married three outside, you practiced the water burial method, and even took action against the village that used to be your village, the one that fed you with a hundred meals, and killed more than two dozen children.”

“You also killed your original wife and all of your concubines, it’s not that you can’t afford to wait, you want to take shortcuts, and you’re still a selfish shortcut taker.”

Magistrate Chen became even more silent.

After a long time, he finally spoke.

“Maybe …… I was wrong.”

Magistrate Chen lay on his back on the ground, looking at the gray sky.

“Still, thank you all, at least I didn’t kill her.”

Zhou An held his sword and did not say anything.

Magistrate Chen just lay there.

Slowly, turning into a cold corpse.

“Snap!”

Zhou An sheathed his knife and reached out to place his hand on Ye Frost’s shoulder in the eyes of Zhang Si Xian and Sheriff Xie who were stunned.

“Can’t top it, it’s tough!”

This blade had really drained all of his air.

Right now, he was still feeling weak in his legs.

Battling a second-rate with a third-rate, it would have been impossible if he wasn’t an enlightened one.

It was good that there was a little recovery.

Ye Frost looked at the hand resting on his body, “Why don’t you help them.”

Zhou An said in a normal way, “Why should I take a man?”

“Oh.” Ye Frost coldly and quietly returned a sentence.

“Hiss ……”

Zhang Si County and Sheriff Xie looked at each other.

This bastard …… has a bit of thick skin!

“Lord Zhang, I’ll leave the aftermath to you, Ye Frost, help me home.” Zhou An said.

Zhang Si Xian nodded, this matter still had to be left to them, the professionals.

Zhou An was helped out of the village by Ye Frost.

“Found it, right?”

Ye Frost gently nodded, “Uh-huh.”

“Something on your mind?” Zhou An continued to ask.

Ye Frost stopped, like the eyes of the star and moon staring at Zhou An, softly said, “Zhou An, do you say …… there is fairness?”

Zhou An understood, together with the words of County Magistrate Chen just now, it made this pure minded girl have doubts.

In fact, this kind of shock was fine for others, but it was indeed a bit too much for Ye Frost.

Zhou An thought about it and suddenly laughed.

Ye Frost said strangely, “What are you laughing at?”

“Want to eat?” Zhou An asked.

Ye Frost looked around and nodded mysteriously after realizing that there was no one else.

“Then don’t you?” Zhou An said.

Ye Frost didn’t understand.

Zhou An said with a tigerish face, “Is fairness or unfairness something that can be defined by one person’s words?”

Ye Frost thought about it and shook his head, “I don’t know.”

Zhou An said with quite a headache, “If you don’t know, eat more, you can’t think too much with this brain.”

Ye Frost let out an oh, “Then tomorrow morning I want to eat buns, I don’t want to eat noodles.”

“Don’t you eat noodles every day?” Zhou An said suspiciously.

Ye Frost stopped, holding Zhou An, and said seriously, “I’m tired of eating it.”

“Heh, woman.” Zhou An said.

The two walked further and further away until they disappeared into the wilderness.

The next day, Zhou An got up from his bed, his entire body in high spirits.

Last night, after Ye Shuang sent him to his room, he rested early.

Throughout the night, he slept soundly.

Especially when he thought that Magistrate Chen was dead, even the dreams he had were fragrant.

By the time he got up in the morning, the deficit from last night had already been replenished long ago.

“I don’t know what kind of sensation will be created by today’s aftermath.” Zhou An washed up, thinking as he did so.

What happened last night, especially when Magistrate Chen died, the aftermath was actually quite troublesome.

The one who died was the magistrate of a county, and this matter could not be concealed.

One could only see how the Zhen Gui Si could fool the people.

“Telling the truth won’t work either, otherwise we lose our prestige.”

Thinking like this, Zhou An opened the door of his room and walked out.

After going out, this time, he did not go to eat noodles, but found a baozi store.

In the evening, Ye Frost said she wanted to eat buns, so Zhou An ordered a portion for three people, and ordered two bowls of thin porridge.

Two people, why eat three people’s portions, because the girl’s stomach was too good.

Not long after, the two bowls of thin congee had only just come up when Ye Shuang had already disguised herself in a state of gray clothes and came to the stall.

“Eat.” Zhou An knocked on the bowl.

“Oh.” Ye Frost nodded without any spirit and took small sips of congee.

“Why are you in a wrong state today?” Zhou An asked.

Just now, Ye Frost just focused on drinking congee and didn’t even eat the buns, not her state.

Ye Frost raised her head and said mournfully, “I’m leaving tomorrow.”
