Chapter 211: Chapter 114: It’s Okay, Just Be More Careful in the Next Life_2

Some maids and young servants encountered Chen Shi, screaming in terror, scattering in all directions, but Chen Shi didn’t kill again.

His target this trip was Yan Jingsi; as long as no one threatened him, he was quite willing to be merciful.

Chen Shi arrived at the rear courtyard of Xuanwu Pavilion, without entering, cleared his throat, and said, "Is the lady of the house in? This humble one, Chen Shi, would like to inquire about the county magistrate’s whereabouts."

There was a flurry of panic inside the rear courtyard; many female family members were frightened and hid everywhere.

After a moment, the soft voice of a woman came through, "The master left yesterday to report for duty in the provincial capital. A new governor has been appointed in Xin Xiang Province, also a relative of the Yan Family. At the start of his term, he’s both reporting for duty and visiting relatives and friends."

"Thank you, madam."

Chen Shi bowed and said, "When the county magistrate returns from the provincial capital, would you please tell him that I was here and seeing that he was not, left in disappointment. If the magistrate wishes, he can find me in Huangpo Village, Xinxiang County."

The woman, from behind the wall, said, "I will certainly tell the master."

Chen Shi turned around and left Xuanwu Pavilion along with Black Pot and a herd of pigs, dogs, cattle, and sheep.

In the county city, when people heard the sounds of a fight coming from Xuanwu Pavilion, some curious onlookers waited outside; they saw Chen Shi herding a group of animals out, but no other people emerged from Xuanwu Pavilion.

"Did you come to kill the county magistrate?" someone excitedly asked.

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "No, I came to deliver livestock to the county magistrate’s family."

"What happened inside?" another crowded forward and asked.

"The young members of the Yan Family fought among themselves, many died. Excuse me, excuse me!"

Chen Shi parted the crowd, along with Black Pot, driving these animals out of the county town.

After traveling six or seven miles from Lei County, Black Pot suddenly started barking; Chen Shi looked, only to see a ewe about to give birth.

Chen Shi quickly stopped and brought some dry grass and leaves for the ewe to lie on.

The ewe was panting rapidly, lying there motionless, occasionally looking back.

Chen Shi and Black Pot then waited beside her; after almost half an hour, growing impatient, the ewe finally began to give birth.

This birthing was very smooth, yielding two lambs, stripping away the afterbirth, pure white.

Chen Shi lit a Fire Talisman to sterilize a knife, cut the umbilical cords, and tied a knot in the cord for both lambs and their mother.

At this moment, a cow also lay down, emitting a low mooing sound.

"This cow is also giving birth?"

Chen Shi was about to go over when two more pregnant ewes also settled down, along with a female dog that lay down, continuously looking back. He also saw a large sow grunting, seeming ready to deliver!

"Oh no, Doctor the tea master’s work was too successful; indeed, all the pregnant animals are ready to give birth."

Chen Shi became flustered and busy, helping these animals with the birth, and Black Pot also hurried about, finding dry grass and tending to the newborn lambs.

A man and a dog, busied themselves to no end, as if birthing was contagious; out of more than a dozen pigs, dogs, cattle, and sheep, half prepared to lie down!

Chen Shi’s hands became stained with blood, his whole body too, but not far away was De River, where he could wash himself after delivering the animals.

While Chen Shi was helping the big sow give birth, the birth canal was open, and the legs of a piglet were already showing, when the sound of hooves approached, Chen Shi glanced over, seeing an opulent carriage, pulled by two horses, heading towards Lei County.

Chen Shi withdrew his gaze, grabbed the piglet’s hind legs, and gently pulled it out; the piglet was white with black, with a white base and black spots on its back.

But no sooner had one come out, than another was reaching its feet out.

Chen Shi hurriedly grabbed another piglet’s leg, accidentally catching a glimpse of the stopping carriage and the curtains opening slightly; the person inside seemed to be very interested in his animal delivery.

Chen Shi paid no mind, having just delivered a piglet, the third one now stretched out its feet.

Looking at the big sow’s belly, it seemed there might even be a fourth!

The person inside the carriage seemed to have lost interest as the coachman snapped his whip, and the horses pulled the carriage towards Lei County.

Chen Shi grabbed the third piglet’s legs and suddenly froze, lifting his head to look at the carriage up ahead.

His heart began to pound violently!

There was no hint of anyone’s presence inside the carriage!

He could only sense the coachman’s presence, but the carriage itself was completely empty!

Just now, clearly, someone inside the carriage had lifted the curtain slightly; it was impossible for there to be no one!

His heartbeat intensified, Yan Jingsi!

He remembered the scene when Yan Jingsi ascended the stairs in Xuanwu Pavilion, hearing his footsteps but sensing no breath, as if he were just a wisp of air!

"Black Pot!"

Chen Shi’s killing intent surged upwards, abruptly standing, his gaze fixated on the chariot speeding up.

Compelled as if by some demon, he strode forward, stepping over a large sow.

"You deliver the babies!"

Black Pot’s eyes widened, looking at him in utter confusion.

With each step Chen Shi took, Spring Rain Talisman, Rain Praying Talisman, Wind Talisman, and various Five Thunder Talismans flew out of his sleeves, igniting and floating into the sky. Suddenly, fierce winds arose, dark clouds gathered, and thunder and lightning boomed.

The charioteer looked up to see the storm-filled sky, where under the thunder and lightning, symbols as large as fists glowed brightly. They were suspended from the storm clouds and swirled in the mighty winds.

Unaffected by wind, undispersed by lightning.

The charioteer murmured in wonder, "Wasn’t the sky clear just a moment ago? How has it started thundering?"

On Chen Shi’s second step, his body grew taller and more robust, his Qi-Blood billowing. The Godspeed Talisman and Armored Horse Talisman on his legs were activated, and the light of numerous Warrior Talismans enveloped his entire body, shining golden.

With his third step, he picked up another pregnant sheep and was already on the run.

Golden light, Nine Palaces, alliance might, Eight Diagrams, general one, general three, general ten, all of his Protective Talisman were activated!

His frame now six feet tall, he was imbued with inconceivable strength, more than ten times mightier than when he had forced his way into Xuanwu Pavilion!

His Qi-Blood formed into two heads and four arms. With two hands behind him, he cradled the sheep to his chest. By the fifth step, he had reached behind the chariot!

Both of Chen Shi’s massive palms came from either side, slamming down onto the chariot!

"Boom!"

The chariot shattered!

A figure shot forward, a shrine flew up, the Divine Embryo emerged, with the Nascent Soul standing in front of it, a terrifying pressure erupting. The chariot and horses were reduced to crumbs, the charioteer included, ground into dust by the horrific Nascent Soul’s force field!

Yan Jingsi, clad in a Daoist robe, stood at the center of the force field, his expression tranquil, unflappable even when his assailant was Chen Shi.

His Taoist heart was unwaveringly firm; nothing could disturb his resolve.

Regardless of why Chen Shi attacked him, or whether Chen Shi’s grandfather Chen Yindou was alive or dead, once struck, he would retaliate with full force, with the intent to kill his adversary!

His Nascent Soul stood in front of the Divine Embryo, thunder constantly rumbling in the sky, with symbols like the Nine Yang Heavenly Thunder Guide hanging, attracting heavenly thunder. A single bolt could annihilate his Nascent Soul, but it was secured within the shrine, impenetrable to the thunder that could not sense the yin energy within, thereby unable to strike his Nascent Soul.

He casually lifted his hand, blood from the crushed bodies of the charioteer and horses formed a Jiao Long, lunging at Chen Shi!

Chen Shi roared, his fist thundering forward, and behind him, the small temple vaulted out. The shrine with the Three Ghost Kings felt the Righteous Qi flowing like a great river around them, unable to resist following Chen Shi’s lead, punching out together!

The fist’s intent surged, embodying the terrifying and ineffable Ghost King Divine Power, penetrating through Chen Shi’s punch!

With that one punch, where the fist peak reached, creation and destruction knew no bounds, and even the Nascent Soul’s force field was pierced through!

The blood Jiao Long met this punch and exploded into bits!

Immediately following that punch came an invisible Sword Qi, bursting from the temple, a streak of sword light aimed straight at Yan Jingsi’s brow!

Yan Jingsi’s face remained supremely calm as he raised his hand to meet Chen Shi’s fist. An immense force erupted between the two, Chen Shi feeling an overwhelming power transmitted from his palm.

And his indestructible Sword Qi had not yet reached Yan Jingsi’s brow when it was halted by the terrifying Nascent Soul’s force field, unable to advance a single inch further!

Chen Shi revealed a smile, suddenly turned around, the sheep he held in his arms now before Yan Jingsi. The sheep cried out in terror, voicing a "meh."

That sheep’s cry was faint, but in Yan Jingsi’s ears, it boomed like thunder.

The next moment, his world spun, his Nascent Soul trapped within the fetal sheep!

"Shh!"

A streak of sword light flew by, penetrating his brow!

"You deem yourself worthy of being a county magistrate? Mind yourself in your next life, don’t commit evil deeds before me!"

Chen Shi set down the sheep he carried, "I will deliver for you. Be a good beast!"
