Chapter 30 Having accomplished his task, he departed without a trace, concealing his merit and fame.
On the mountain road, the scarred strongman and his group moved at a very fast pace, getting closer and closer to Ping'an Town.
They could already vaguely make out the outline of the small town in the distance.
"Haha, brothers, do you see that? That's Ping'an Town!"
"Beauty and food, both so close at hand, hahaha..."
The scarred, burly man licked his lips, his eyes filled with greed.
But just then, a figure appeared without warning in the middle of the road in front of them.
This action by the other party directly blocked their way.
The man looked very young, dressed in a simple police uniform, with a strange longsword wrapped in rags at his waist.
He simply stood there quietly, scanning the group of burly men with a gaze that seemed to regard them as if they were dead.
An invisible aura emanated from him, causing everyone present to feel a chill.
The burly man with the scar at the head of the group stared at the suddenly appearing young man, his pupils shrinking sharply!
A storm of emotions surged within him.
When did the other party appear?
Why did he, a martial arts master, not sense anything at all?!
It was as if this person had appeared out of nowhere.
Unable to understand these things, he dared not make any rash moves.
He sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from the other person.
This feeling was exactly the same as the feeling he had when facing a Grandmaster-level expert in his memory.
He suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Hanzhou, and said in a deep voice.
"My friend, we are just passing through and have no ill intentions."
"If this has caused any disturbance, please forgive us. I understand your meaning, and we will take our leave now."
After saying that, he was about to instruct his men to change direction and take a detour.
The men were puzzled by their boss's decision. What was so special about taking a detour over an ordinary police officer?
However, due to the prestige that the scarred strongman had established, none of them dared to ask questions at this moment.
However, at this moment, Lin Hanzhou spoke up.
"There's no need to leave. Since you've come this far, stay here forever."
His voice was calm, yet it contained a chilling killing intent.
"This auspicious burial site is perfect for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword wrapped in rags in Lin Hanzhou's hand was suddenly drawn from its sheath.
A sharp, cold glint flashed before everyone's eyes.
There was no astonishing sword energy, nor any sharp sound of air being torn apart.
Only the elegance and unrestrained spirit unique to the "Flowing Cloud Sword Technique" can be found.
With a "whoosh," an invisible wave swept towards the scarred strongman and his men.
A series of soft, rapid "plop, plop" sounds.
Led by the scarred, burly man who was a martial arts master, the heads of the dozens of bandits present were separated from their bodies at the same moment!
The fear and confusion of the previous second still lingered in the eyes of each of them.
It seems they haven't even realized they're dying.
Immediately afterwards, blood gushed out like a fountain from the dozens of headless corpses.
Their blood instantly stained the entire mountain path red.
At this point, the entire gang of once-rampant bandits were killed on the spot.
It couldn't even withstand one of Lin Hanzhou's moves.
The next moment, Lin Hanzhou sheathed his longsword and returned it to his waist.
There wasn't even a trace of blood on the sword.
It was as if he had simply drawn his sword casually, as if he were just playing around.
Afterwards, Lin Hanzhou cleaned up the scene as usual.
He used his sword to carve a huge pit in the nearby forest and buried all the bandits' corpses in it.
This is considered to be their last bit of value, as they can be used as fertilizer for flowers, grass, and trees.
After dealing with all of this, he returned to Ping'an Town.
He looked at the small town where he had lived for nine years, a town he knew well and found peaceful.
Lin Hanzhou knew it was time for him to leave.
His strength at the third-tier Qi Sea Realm was enough to allow him to protect himself in this chaotic world.
There's no point in staying in this remote town any longer.
This was something he had planned before he came here.
However, there was one last thing he had to do before he left.
He moved swiftly and silently into the government office where the town mayor worked.
The elderly mayor was sighing and worrying about the town's defense.
The recent appearance of a group of bandits made him very uneasy.
That band of bandits wreaked havoc throughout Gyeongju, specifically targeting remote towns.
He was often afraid that the band of bandits would come to their Ping'an Town, at which point Ping'an Town would cease to exist.
These days, he has been appealing to the higher authorities for help, but the court has not responded at all.
This made the old town mayor, who had believed in the Great Qian Dynasty his whole life, feel disappointed with the Great Qian.
"Is it really true, as those people say, that the Great Qian Dynasty is doomed?"
The old mayor muttered to himself, his aged face bearing an indelible sorrow.
Lin Hanzhou did not appear; he merely watched through the crack in the door as the old man, who had dedicated his life to serving the people, was seen.
He flicked his finger, and an incredibly pure spiritual energy instantly entered the old town chief's body.
The old town mayor's hunched body jolted, and he abruptly stood up from his chair.
He felt a warm current flowing through his body, and his long-standing ailment improved significantly in an instant, making him feel much more energetic.
He looked around in astonishment, but couldn't see a single person.
The old mayor couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt. Could it be that he had misjudged the situation?
However, when he turned his head, he found a martial arts manual that had appeared on the table at some point.
The cover of this exercise manual has no name or author.
This martial arts manual is a martial arts version specially developed by Lin Hanzhou based on the original martial arts manual practiced by the town mayor.
Combined with the pure spiritual energy he had just unleashed, it was enough for the old town mayor to break through to the Martial Master realm.
Having done all this, Lin Hanzhou left without a trace, concealing his achievements and fame.
In Ping'an Town, if a martial arts master were stationed there, they would have a greater chance of protecting themselves in this chaotic world.
The reason he helped the old town mayor was because the mayor was an upright person who loved the people like his own children.
Lin Hanzhou had lived in the town for so many years and knew the old mayor's character very well.
Helping the other party is also helping the entire Ping'an Town.
This was probably the last thing he did for the place where he had lived for nine years.
After finishing all these final tasks, Lin Hanzhou returned to his small courtyard.
He changed into a black outfit that he had prepared beforehand, and wrapped the extraordinary longsword again with strips of cloth before carrying it on his back.
On this day, Lin Hanzhou quietly left Ping'an Town without saying goodbye to anyone.
Just like he did nine years ago, he came quietly, and now he is leaving quietly.
From that moment on, Ping'an Town lost a kind-hearted young police officer.
In the martial arts world of Daqian, a new, unfathomable swordsman in black has emerged.
