Chapter 5: I Don’t Think There will be Any Melodramatic Plot

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was already early in the morning, and the dark clouds blocked out the moonlight. 

A black shadow was speeding along the street. If one didn’t pay attention, others might even think that it was the wind. 

After completing the transaction, Zhou Ji lingered in the so-called “exchange” for a while before setting off in the direction of home. 

He had already made a long detour. It shouldn’t be like the melodramatic plot in novels, where someone would follow him from the black market, right? 

He thought to himself, wondering if he would give himself away. 

Hmm… yes, there shouldn’t be any. First, he wouldn’t reveal his wealth, and second, he wouldn’t make enemies. 

But just as he thought so, his expression suddenly changed slightly. 

What a f*cking jinx! 

In the vision of the Probing Spell, a light representing the early stage of the Foundation Establishment stage was gently jumping behind a corner dozens of feet in front of him. 

It was so late, who was at this corner? It couldn’t be that he was out for a walk, right? 

Zhou Ji’s expression became serious, and the wind around him gradually gathered. 

So what if he was in the Foundation Establishment stage? ! 

Although he had already discovered the situation, he still kept jumping forward and running forward. It was as if he didn’t notice anything unusual at all. He even jumped one step forward when he passed this intersection! 

In the Refinement stage and the Foundation Establishment stage, there was no such thing as flying. The most one could do was to practice the Soaring Spell and jump high and far in one go. However, jumping high and far was still limited to the range of the ‘jump’. A person in the air couldn’t control the trajectory of his body! 

The person who blocked Zhou Ji was obviously an old hand in this field. The moment Zhou Ji jumped in the air and fell, a metal bullet flew toward him with a piercing sound. 

Defensive Spell! 

Zhou Ji, who had long discovered all of this, was not going to be ambushed. In the air, he lightly stepped on the air, and his entire body shot up a large chunk. 

Second Stage Soaring Spell! 

When Zhou Ji “created” a spell, he would use the spell that he had posted as a template. This way, it would be simpler. Compared to the Second Stage Soaring Spell that he created today, the effect of the Second Stage Soaring Spell that he had mastered was even more powerful with the addition of the three blue words! 

The projectiles shot out by the defensive technique did not even hit Zhou Ji’s shadow, but Zhou Ji, who was in the air, had already swung his hand in the direction where the projectiles were coming from. 

Three wind blades, which had been accumulating power since just now, were shot out. With the five times speed boost, they arrived in front of the attacker in just a breath’s time. 

The attacker only saw that Zhou Ji, who was in the air, had dodged the projectiles that he had shot out. He swung his hand backward, and in the next moment, he felt a chill in his chest, abdomen, and neck at the same time, as if there was a wind blowing past. His last thought was, what the f*ck?! Wasn’t this guy only at the seventh or eighth level of the Qi Cultivation Realm?! 

Zhou Ji landed on the ground. In the alley in the corner, the head of the corpse had just fallen off. Three wind blades were the best level that Zhou Ji could control at the moment. 

Although he was only in the Qi Cultivation Realm, this Qi Cultivation Realm of his used the best cultivation techniques among the cultivation techniques, and his offensive and killing techniques were among the best among the middle-tier. When the two were combined, the attack could reach the damage standard of a Foundation Establishment Realm. 

‘What’s going on? No one should have left any marks on me…’ Zhou Ji felt that he was very cautious. He quickly recalled and quickly thought that the only flaw was the Foundation Establishment Secret Technique. This thing was sold to him by a tall and thin man. They might have a way to locate this secret technique! 

Zhou Ji was alert. He raised his head and looked in the direction he came from. Sure enough, there were two guys following him! 

The spirit lamp lit up. It was already early in the morning, and there was no one on the street. 

Not long after, two figures rushed over one after the other. 

“That guy’s position has stopped. It should be the boss who has stalled him. Let’s hurry over.” 

The tall and thin man spoke, and his speed increased by a few points. 

“Why can’t this guy be directly killed by the Boss? Speaking of which, this guy is also cautious. He actually led us around in such a big circle. If the boss hadn’t noticed the problem and gone around from the other side, this guy might have run away.” 

The person who spoke followed behind the man. It was a fat man. The fat on his body swayed as he ran. 

The three of them had just arrived in city No. 3 recently and were moving around on this planet. Every time they arrived in a city, they would find a private exchange or somewhere like that to sell Foundation Establishment Secret Scrolls. 

The three of them also knew that the people who bought these things were usually in the advanced stage of the Cultivation Realm and would accumulate some wealth. The advanced stage of the Cultivation Realm was also convenient for them to deal with. Of course, if they saw a more suitable fat sheep in the private exchange, the three of them would also make a move. 

After making a move in one city, they moved to the next city. This was already the third time the three of them had made a move. 

However, the situation this time had changed a little. 

When the two of them turned the corner, they saw a headless corpse sitting against the wall, and the Foundation Establishment Secret Technique they sensed was placed on the corpse. 

“Oh no!” 

“Watch Out!” 

The two of them were only shocked for a moment when they saw the corpse, but they immediately reacted and tried to dodge. However, before the two of them could make a move, the tall and thin man’s head flew up. Almost at the same time, his heart and chest were also pierced through. 

The fat man seemed to be scared silly. He stood on the spot and trembled — that was not trembling. From the ligature marks on his body, it could be seen that this guy was bound by the air! 

Wind Binding Spell. This was the name that Zhou Ji had given himself. Actually, this was not a spell. It was just a usage of the Hundred Blade Wind Control Spell. First, he controlled the wind, then he condensed wind blades. What Zhou Ji did was to condense the wind into a sheet and roll this fatty up. 

This kind of binding did not last long. Almost at the instant the tall and thin man was killed, the fatty broke free. 

If he had not been restrained, he might have been able to fight back. However, because he had been restrained for a few seconds, by the time he broke free, three more wind blades had already struck him. The moment he felt the wind… the fat man’s head also fell off. 

The voices of the few of them caused a noise to be heard from a house in the alley. Clearly, it had already alerted the bystanders. 

Zhou Ji casually used the Sand Raising Spell and the Clear Water Spell to create a ball of mud and splashed it on the window of the house. After putting on his mask, he walked out from the shadows of the alley. 

He did not care about his reaction of killing someone for the first time. He put on the gloves that he had prepared before and took out a small bag from each of the three corpses. He then rummaged through the pockets of their clothes to make sure that there was nothing left. 

Then, Zhou Ji used the Bending Spell to pile the three bodies and heads into the trash can in the corner. Relying on his knowledge from watching detective dramas and the famous detectives in his previous life, he carefully used the Water Spell and the Washing Spell to clean up all the possible traces on the street. 

It was obviously much more convenient to use magic to do these things. In less than a minute, the scene was cleaned up. 

Before he left, he did not forget to use the Flame Burning Spell to set a fire. This kind of powerful flame only needed five minutes to burn this place to the ground. 

According to Zhou Ji’s understanding, this was already the suburbs, and the time for the city guards to rush over was five minutes. He had wasted two minutes before and after, and those guys were still three minutes away. 

Although this period of time was not enough to completely burn the bodies, this burning, together with the process of spraying water to put out the fire later, could at least clear up some small clues that he did not notice. 

After dealing with everything, Zhou Ji’s body once again blended into the shadows and quickly flew in another direction….
