Chapter 360 Going Home After the Fight
Jiang He used both the sword sheath and the staff.
The staff and scabbard fell with eighty percent of their force, specifically targeting sensitive areas:
"To make a move in the safe zone? I'd rather experience what it's like to get beaten up."
Jiang He spoke arrogantly, showing no sign of backing down.
She's not the kind of person who won't fight back when attacked.
The fact that the other party chose to strike from the shadows indicates that they did not want to expose themselves, and the mask they were wearing further confirms this.
Although Yun Jia's techniques were deadly, they were somewhat restrained. After exchanging blows with Yun Jia, Jiang He did not immediately choose to run into the Imperial Collection area, partly because she wanted to test her own strength, and partly because she had a good understanding of her opponent's intentions.
Yun Jia did not intend to kill her, but she was definitely malicious.
Faced with such malice, Jiang He had been under surveillance the whole time, and she would not and could not kill anyone.
If the sheriff discovers it, even if it's just self-defense, it's hard to say whether Jiang He will end up in jail.
Interstellar law clearly states that self-defense is permissible but cannot result in death.
To avoid further trouble, Jiang He retaliated in a brutal manner.
She set up the defensive barrier in preparation for her next move.
Jiang He specifically targets high-value parts of the human body, such as the throat, neck, nose, and abdomen, when attacking people.
With her head covered, Yunjia's vision was limited, and she could not see clearly. She could only feel herself being beaten with sticks, and the intense pain reached her skin.
Yun Jia, who had been poisoned, was weak and powerless to resist, and could only endure Jiang He's brutal beating.
Yunjia was in pain all over her body. Just as she was about to reach into her sleeve and use the sharp sword to cut the bag open, another blow came down.
The blow made her pull her outstretched hand back.
Yun Jia had long since lost her initial intention to teach Jiang He a lesson; her eyes were brimming with tears.
This person hit so hard it hurt; Yunjia almost knelt down and begged for mercy.
The tip of the staff burrowed into Yunjia's skin.
She had already added Jiang He to her revenge list.
Damn it, this is going to kill me.
Yunjia bit her lower lip, each moment feeling like an eternity.
She thought sadly when the sheriff would arrive. For the first time, she realized that the sheriffs of their empire were really inefficient; they still hadn't come.
The sound of an external force shattering came from the defensive shield.
"Please lay down your weapons!"
The sheriff's voice came, and Yunjia heard it as if it were heavenly music.
Jiang He's one-sided beating ended, and she simply threw her staff and sword on the ground.
With a crisp sound as the weapon hit the ground, Jiang He moved her foot off Yun Jia and clapped her hands.
However, the next second, Jiang He found herself in a pair of silver handcuffs.
"You are suspected of intentional assault under interstellar law and you need to come with us now."
The sheriff glared at Jiang He. He had never seen a cultivator so arrogant after injuring someone, and even had time to clean his hands.
Jiang He choked upon hearing this, raised the silver handcuffs on her hands, and pointed to Yun Jia, who was bound in a sack on the ground:
"Are you mistaken? She's the one who committed the crime, not me."
Jiang He's tone was firm. The sheriff had just opened the sack to let Yun Jia leave when he heard this and suddenly glanced at Yun Jia in the sack and the person in the video on the quantum computer.
Immediately afterwards, he awkwardly removed Jiang He's silver handcuffs and then handcuffed them to Yun Jia.
After all that, it turned out he was wrong.
Accompanying the sheriff was another, slightly older sheriff, who quickly apologized to Jiang He:
"I'm so sorry, he's a new intern and he's a bit face-blind."
"It's alright, I should go back with you according to the procedure."
Jiang He did not leave early, but followed the senior sheriff back to the police station.
The sheriff, who had initially made a blunder, silently pondered the scene he had just witnessed, finding it utterly unbelievable.
Even now, if you tell him that the monk who put a sack over someone's neck and beat them to death was not a criminal but a victim, he would still be skeptical.
The sheriff looked at Yunjia, who had been beaten beyond recognition after the sack was removed, and silently questioned the meaning of life.
Yunjia collapsed in the car, crystal tears streaming down her cheeks.
The pain is unbearable...
The process of determining guilt in the fight between Yun Jia and Jiang He was very brief.
Because there was surveillance footage, Yunjia bears full responsibility.
If Yun Jia successfully teaches Jiang He a lesson and leaves, even if Jiang He wants to find her, it will be difficult for Yun Jia, who is wearing a mask, to do so, thanks to the surveillance footage.
She'll most likely have to suffer in silence.
Now that Yunjia has been caught, it's like catching her red-handed.
The police station has a cure for the Rejuvenating Pill; after taking one, Yun Jia's true nature will be revealed.
Jiang He didn't recognize Yun, but the police officers were extremely familiar with Yun Jia's face:
"Angel?"
The sheriff looked on in disbelief.
Jiang He frowned, scrutinized Yun Jia for a long time, and still couldn't recall her:
"A messenger of God, is he a member of the church?"
Jiang He was a little puzzled. He hadn't made enemies with those people. The star history of this world was vast and complex. There were several forces in the Wanling Empire, where Jiang He was located.
The church was the force that Jiang He feared most.
The greatest authority in the church is the pope, who gathers a group of highly accomplished monks and believers who have come to be close to God.
It is said that with each prayer, their spiritual cultivation will advance further.
Every time Jiang He heard information about the church, she felt that these believers were somewhat like heretical cultivators, since any cultivator of this faith would die for the church.
What's the difference between this and handing your fate over to someone else?
Jiang He looked at Yun Jia, who was clinging to her, puzzled:
"I do not know you."
Yun Jia is a Nascent Soul stage cultivator with good recovery abilities. Her injured vocal cords can already produce sound, although it is somewhat hoarse.
"You eliminated Shangguan Ningxue and then got entangled with Xie Xing. Have you no shame?"
As Yun Jia made her move with zero frames, Jiang He's sharp gaze quickly faded.
Jiang He chuckled slightly.
So it turns out it wasn't a revenge killing after all, but simply a case of standing up for Shangguan Ningxue?
"Don't compare Xie Xing, that scumbag, with me. Shangguan Ningxue is a treasure to me, but to me she's like excrement. Instead of spending your time seeking revenge on me, you should go back and persuade your love-struck, useless best friend."
Jiang He's words were blunt, and Yun Jia was stunned for a long time.
Jiang He is absolutely right. Xie Xing is worse than a dog; he's just like a pile of shit.
For the first time, she found someone who shared her views, and this person was someone her best friend disliked.
Yun Jia's eyes were complicated, but her words remained sharp:
"Shangguan Ningxue is not a waste, you are! You are a waste with five spiritual roots!"
"No, that's not right. It's not a waste of five spiritual roots anymore, it's an eight spiritual root now."
Besides... you can't even beat a piece of trash like me, so what are you?
After saying that, Jiang He turned and left gracefully.
All that was left was Yunjia, trembling with anger.
As soon as Jiang He returned to her dormitory, she went straight to the bathroom and took out the magical artifact from her mustard seed pouch.
The seal on the magical artifact was broken, and a longevity lock resembling silver appeared before them.
