…

As time passed, the matter of many experts failing gradually fermented.

The 28 Jiang Chun and the nearby martial artists joined forces to chase after Chen Feng, but more than half of them were killed and fled in a sorry state. The news had already spread in the southern martial world, causing an uproar.

So many experts had joined forces, but they had actually suffered a huge loss. The reputation of these famous martial artists had suffered a huge blow.

Their lifetime of fame had instead benefited Chen Feng, adding to his illustrious reputation.

All kinds of powerful deeds of Chen Feng had been circulating in the martial world to begin with. Now, it was spread that he could even deal with the famous experts of the martial world as easily as cutting vegetables. With such a brilliant battle record, the clamoring of the people for his “number one expert” title in the Green Forest increased.

Yan Hanjun, An Dafeng, Lu Xilin, and the other famous martial artists who had been lucky enough to survive fled back to their sects in panic, afraid that Chen Feng would come knocking on their door.

However, even after the matter spread, Chen Feng did not make any other new actions. He continued to wander around the county cities to seek revenge. This made the surviving martial artists think that Chen Feng had no intention of visiting their sects. They could not help but feel lucky and glad that they had escaped.

The plan of the Ning Tian Prefecture’s aristocratic family to kill Chen Feng had failed this time, but they still wanted to gather their forces to suppress him again.

However, after this battle, the people of the southern martial arts world understood that Chen Feng was an extremely difficult bone to chew. Many sect heads near Jiangchun had been beaten to death and crippled by Chen Feng. The remaining famous experts were either from small families or were loners. Now, they were unwilling to attack no matter what. Even if they might offend the nobles by ignoring them, they did not care.

Helpless, the Ning Tian Prefecture’s aristocratic families could only temporarily give up on this thought. The officials and nobles in the county cities of Jiangchun had suffered, and they could not do anything about it for the time being.

Year 11 of Xinghe, mid-autumn.

The weather was wet and cold. In a forest filled with fallen leaves, Chen Feng and the others were warming themselves by the fire. Many of them were already wrapped in cotton clothes and leather jackets.

A few days ago, in the battle with a famous figures in the martial world, the team had lost more than ten members. Later on, as they sought to rid evils along the way, and there were more and more poor people following them to replenish their numbers. At this moment, the number of people had reached 40 to 50.

Among them, the number of Green Forest experts had already increased to 14, which was more than before.

“Second Brother, it’s been a few days. When are we going to find trouble with those martial arts sects?”

Fang Zhen sat in front of the fire, his tone urgent.

“Let’s wait a little longer.”

Chen Feng replied casually. With his spear placed in front of him, he was still dressed in thin clothes, as if he could not feel the cold at all.

“Second Brother said the same thing a few days ago. How long do we have to wait?”

Fang Zhen complained.

He had been thinking about finding trouble with the martial world sects and had to ask him a few times a day on their course of action.

Chen Feng however closed his eyes and did not answer.

At this moment, his body suddenly trembled. He opened his eyes again, and they lit up. It was Zhou Jing who had projected himself down this time.

“Phew, looks like nothing happened…”

Zhou Jing received the experience log and quickly went through it in his mind. He heaved a sigh of relief.

Killing the corrupt officials and tyrants in the various county cities and escaping the pursuit of the officials was not difficult for Apostle #004. The only thing that caused a certain number of casualties in the group was the joint attack of the famous martial artists.

“Unfortunately, I didn’t come personally at that time. Otherwise, I would have attacked first and twisted off the heads of this group of martial artists.”

Zhou Jing inwardly shook his head.

Before he personally projected himself, the record of an apostle’s AI would not refresh the information he had. In the placement mode, the apostle was still a little inflexible. He did not attack immediately when he encountered Shen Sanqiu, or else there would be fewer casualties.

Moreover, if he personally attacked, most of these martial artists would not be able to escape. It seemed that the current not-so-high synchronization rate of the apostles still affected their adaptability to handle the enemy.

The placement plan of the apostle was to go around the county to right evils and not stray too far from the group.

Previously, Zhou Jing had specially made such adjustments. The crusade against the martial world sects was not part of Apostle #004’s current affairs. Therefore, after the group of people was attacked, although Apostle #004 said that he wanted to take revenge, he did not take any action for a long time. This time, the placement plan had a slight advantage and stopped the apostle from showing off his personality.

Zhou Jing opened the interface and took a look. He realized that after this period of actual combat cultivation, his various martial arts skills had clearly improved. His resistance and energy attributes had all reached the standard that could be broken through.

The progress of the [Massacre of All] milestone steadily increased. At the same time, because of the help of various famous figures in the martial world, the progress of [World’s Number One] increased by a large margin.

In addition, he had accumulated and defeated 50 experts who were proficient in martial arts. He had also obtained a new achievement, [First-rate Expert], which gave him 2,500 Astral Points, and a [Aptitude Enhancement – Martial Arts (Small)].

Ever since Chen Feng debuted, he had done things that were quite influential. The Information State Particles had benefited a lot, and his progress in clearing the level had already reached nearly half.

At this rate, he might be able to satisfy the requirement of 240 points before his life objectives were even achieved.

However, this was only the most basic evaluation standard. With Bill’s example, in order to obtain a higher clearance rating, the greater the Information State Particles had to exceed the standard set.

However, to be honest, the life objective of Apostle #004 was indeed a level higher in difficulty. Until now, he had yet to achieve any of it. Currently, the only things he was relatively close to achieving were the simpler [Justice on behalf of the heavens] and [Gathering the Mountains].

If he ignored the consequences, he could rebel now and have a chance to achieve the objective of [Inciting a Rebellion]. However, his team was limited at the moment, so he planned to develop first… Although his current behavior of killing officials everywhere to right evil was not much different from rebellion, as long as he did not officially raise the flag of rebellion, there would not be a qualitative change.
