Chapter 336: Chapter 49: The Death of He Jinyun_2

“These dark clouds cover a larger area than last time!” he muttered to himself.

At that moment, he still remembered the night he led people out of the city engulfed by the heavy rain, and immediately knew something was off with the rainstorm that was so fierce.

And it was a big problem.

The rain must have been artificially created.

Otherwise, how could there be rain that hadn’t yet covered the entire county?

There are coincidences in the world, but so many coincidences together are no longer coincidences.

“Has he grown stronger?” Looking at the range covered by the dark clouds overhead, Liu Linmen couldn’t help but take a deep breath inward.

If such a rain had come before, he would never have suspected it was man-made.

Because he knew very well how difficult it was to pray to the heavens for such rain.

In the Yellow Heaven Sect, only a few heavenly kings could possess the ability to summon such a deluge over a county.

“I guessed right before, Jiang Ning must be the most terrifying existence in Luoshui County!”

Seeing the changes in the heavenly phenomenon today, Liu Linmen was even more certain of his previous guess.

Jiang Ning was either a reincarnated great figure like Daoist or Buddha’s son, or an old monster who had taken over someone else’s body.

According to Liu Linmen’s understanding, the method of seizing another’s body was recorded many times in ancient times.

…

Cloud Pavilion.

“This weather… it’s rather peculiar!” said the man in the blue robe with slight graying temples, glancing up at the sky and muttering.

“Peculiar?” Gongsun Yu looked in surprise in the direction the blue-robed man was staring.

Then he asked, “Why does the Valley Master say this weather is peculiar?”

The blue-robed man said indifferently, “Weather changes follow natural laws, like ants moving home and snakes crossing paths signaling that heavy rain will soon arrive. Like ‘red sky at morning, sailors take warning; red sky at night, sailors delight!'”

“Do you remember the scene of the evening glow covering the sky just now?”

“I remember!” Gongsun Yu nodded repeatedly.

“That’s it!” the man in the blue robe said indifferently, “With the evening glow covering the sky, how could dark clouds suddenly envelope the city? This emergence of dark clouds -”

He paused, then emphasized, “is very peculiar!!”

…

Inspection Office.

Hong Minghu glanced out the window.

“It’s actually going to rain, how odd!” he exclaimed.

Then, with a wave of his sleeve, he suddenly closed the open window.

On the other side.

He Jinyun looked up at the sky.

“Ptui, ptui!”

As the rain thundered down, he quickly lowered his head and spat out the rainwater from his mouth.

He then quickened his pace through the buildings of the Inspection Office.

At the entrance of the Inspection Office, his personal carriage was there; getting inside would allow him to avoid the rain and prevent a shabby appearance.

…

Meanwhile.

Under the enhancement of the heavy rain, Jiang Ning’s senses rapidly expanded, covering a radius of several miles.

Within this range, nothing could escape his perception.

Even the smallest corners of the Inspection Office, which wasn’t very large, fell under Jiang Ning’s surveillance.

This included Hong Minghu.

And Hong Minghu was Jiang Ning’s key surveillance target.

Because Jiang Ning knew that at this moment, the most likely person who could stop him from killing He Jinyun was Hong Minghu, the strongest in this place.

And this was the reason Jiang Ning hadn’t made a move all afternoon.

Inside the Inspection Office, if he chose to strike at He Jinyun and didn’t succeed in killing him instantly, it would only take a few breaths’ time for Hong Minghu to appear in front of He Jinyun.

Once Hong Minghu was shielding him, trying to kill He Jinyun would be harder than reaching the heavens.

Not to mention killing silently.

Thus, Jiang Ning had been waiting all afternoon, waiting for He Jinyun to leave the Inspection Office, to walk out of Hong Minghu’s sensory range.

The farther from Hong Minghu, the more time he would indeed have.

“Finally willing to come out,” Jiang Ning thought to himself as he watched He Jinyun cross the gate of the Inspection Office.

The next moment.

Under Jiang Ning’s covert surveillance, He Jinyun got onto the carriage.

Soon, the carriage slowly moved away along the main road.

At this time, Jiang Ning was not in a rush.

Making a move at the entrance of the Inspection Office was still too close to Hong Minghu.

…

In no time at all.

The carriage had already traveled a full mile away from the Inspection Office.

“Now is the time!”

As Jiang Ning’s thoughts arose,

a mile away, the torrential rain suddenly froze in mid-air, only to transform into long, diamond-shaped needles.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh–

Needles formed from the rain, like a violent rush of pear blossoms, shot towards the carriage.

In an instant.

Bang, bang, bang–

As the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles, formed from the rain, hit the carriage, the carriage, crafted from precious wood, immediately became riddled with holes.

“Who dares to ambush me!!!” a bloody figure suddenly burst through the constraints of the carriage, soaring into the air.

As He Jinyun soared, countless splinters burst and scattered all around.

At this moment, He Jinyun’s body was already covered in blood.

At the same time,

As soon as he was freed from the carriage, He Jinyun scanned his surroundings, his expression becoming grave.

For he had not found the enemy he anticipated, but saw only dozens of Water Needles reforming in the heavy rain.

“What demon are you!!!” He Jinyun yelled again, his voice, despite his injuries and blood-soaked body, still thunderous.

“Just relying on the Water Control Divine Ability, trying to deliver a mortal blow to He Jinyun from a mile away is still not feasible!” Jiang Ning, observing the scene from afar, mused inwardly.

The next moment,

his mind stirred again.

As He Jinyun’s thunderous voice echoed, the newly formed Water Needles shot like Rainstorm Pear Blossoms towards him again.

…

Faced with dozens of Water Needles densely surrounding him from all directions, He Jinyun immediately regretted leaping into the air, having been overly confident.

Now, suspended in mid-air, like a rootless water plant against the 360-degree assault of the piercing Water Needles, he was completely unable to dodge or defend.

Subsequently, he shielded his face and head with his arms, his Qi-Blood turbulence inside, trying to endure the onslaught with his body.

Aah–

What followed was He Jinyun’s agonizing scream.

These Water Needles drilled into every gap, penetrated every orifice.

Despite his strong physique, the Water Needles barely entered three centimeters into the flesh before losing momentum.

But the vulnerable human openings like the ears were still targeted, now penetrated by water-turned-needles.

The pain made He Jinyun’s screams excruciating.

Not until this point,

did his earlier cry of “What demon is this” reach Hong Minghu a mile away.

And it had taken more than half a moment.

“Young Master!!!” Hong Minghu, hearing He Jinyun’s cry, suddenly opened his eyes.

Boom–

With a stamp of his foot, the wooden planks immediately burst.

Hong Minghu’s figure also directly crashed through the solid wall, rushing towards He Jinyun a mile away.

“So fast!” Noticing Hong Minghu’s movement, Jiang Ning’s heart tensed.

“I only have two moments to kill He Jinyun!” he made a snap judgment.

Then, with no further distractions in his mind,

he fully activated his Water Control Divine Ability, countless raindrops solidifying into sharp points, relentlessly penetrating He Jinyun’s body.

Eyes, ears, nose, groin…

Every vulnerable human spot was Jiang Ning’s focus of attack.

At this moment, in the face of immense pain, He Jinyun had completely lost any capability to resist.

He could only curl up on the ground, screaming.

Each raindrop that transformed into a solid needle could penetrate up to one to three centimeters deep into He Jinyun’s flesh.

At the same time,

in the extensive rain, Hong Minghu had already seen He Jinyun in a pool of blood.

“Young Master!!!” he immediately shouted.

Boom–

However, the only response was the thunder that flashed overhead.

On the other side,

Jiang Ning also breathed a sigh of relief.

Before Hong Minghu found He Jinyun, he had already inflicted a fatal wound on him.

A heart-piercing, fatal injury.

Such a wound could claim He Jinyun’s life in a short period.

Not to mention the wounds all over his body riddled with thousands of needles.

So when Hong Minghu saw He Jinyun, the rain-formed Water Needles had already silently dispersed.

Leaving no trace at the scene.

Any investigator arriving would be unable to determine by what means He Jinyun had died.
