Ranking Of Kings: My Land Is SSS Rank

Chapter 713 Three Kills In One Day

To a certain extent, it was not the secret assassins who caused the harm, but the chaotic civilians themselves. Especially the curfew, which might be what the murderer wanted to see the most in secret. No one knew what would happen in the dark. No one would even notice if one died in one's room.

The consequences would be even more severe.

Pfft!

Suddenly, a hawker was stabbed in the throat by a boning knife.

He died on the spot with a single slash. The scene was extremely bloody.

"D*mn it! Who are you? Come out and fight me if you dare. How can you be considered a powerhouse if you use these schemes behind the back? You're just like a stinky rat hiding in a smelly ditch!" Zhang Jian's expression changed drastically. He was furious on the spot and let out a roar.

"That's right! Get out here! The people of the Kingdom of Dawn will never be frightened by your tricks. You're dreaming if you think you can threaten us!"

The people of the City of Dawn were infuriated by the continuous assassination attempts.

The people of the Kingdom of Dawn had developed a tough culture. This was the bloodlust that came from killing. If only one or two were killed, they would feel a trace of fear. However, killing three in a row was a blatant provocation. It instantly infuriated all the civilians. The blood in their bodies burned, and they were all completely ignited with anger. They roared on the spot.

"That's right! There are no cowards in the Kingdom of Dawn. Ever since the Country Lord founded the kingdom, no one has been a coward. Death is not scary, but death without dignity is. If you want to kill, just kill. You can't make us afraid!"

"Come on! If you have the guts to fight me face to face, I won't hesitate even if I die. If I take half a step back, I'll take my head off and let you use it as a chamber pot. There are no cowards in the Kingdom of Dawn. Even if I die, I'll die standing straight! I'm not afraid of you!"

The civilians were enraged and started shouting. The angry citizens of the Kingdom of Dawn were like furious beasts.

They would die at most. It was already a miracle that they could live until now. They weren't afraid of death. What they were afraid of was being spurned and disgraced after death. That way, they would feel embarrassed even in death.

A figure hidden in a corner said to himself, "These lunatics from the Kingdom of Dawn aren't afraid of death! I had never seen such a human before. They're indeed different. However, the game has already begun, and it won't end so easily. If you want to die, you'll have to see if I want to kill you or not."

The reaction of the people in the City of Dawn was beyond the expectations of the mastermind.

The continuous killing did not trigger fear. Instead, it had the opposite effect and completely angered all the people. Even he was moved by their reaction. Under the suffocating aura, if one was not afraid of death, then there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Lord, look! There's blood on the ground."

"There are words written in blood!"

"What are the words?"

At this moment, the blood on the ground started to flow and gathered together strangely, forming a blood word.

"Three kills in one day!"

Zhang Jian looked at the words written in blood on the ground, his face ashen.

What did this mean? A declaration of war? A provocation?

Three kills in one day, was he going to kill three people a day?

Arrogant. Unparalleled arrogance.

This was a slap to the face, a slap to the face of the entire Kingdom of Dawn. It wasn't enough to kill people today, but he wanted to kill three people a day. If he succeeded tomorrow, the kingdom would undoubtedly fail.

"Lord, what do we do now?" One of the constables asked with a serious expression.

Now that the matter had been blown up. No one knew what the consequences would be if another murder happened tomorrow.

"I'm going to see the Country Lord!"

Zhang Jian took a deep breath. His eyes were filled with killing intent.

In any case, even if he had to bear the label of incompetence in front of Li Xiang, he had to report this matter. This was not something he could decide on. Killing three people in a day. If that were the case, the entire Kingdom of Dawn would be disgraced. This was not a responsibility that he could afford to bear.

Such a thing could not be hidden from the Lord of Dawn. He had to report it as soon as possible.

"Keep an eye on the scene and collect the bodies. Bring them back to yamen and wait for me to come back."

After Zhang Jian gave his orders, his figure flashed and he flew towards the palace.

"There's indeed an infiltrator. He can't help but appear and cause trouble so quickly. It seems like they can't wait to mess with my people's morale."

How could Li Xiang not know about this? Before Zhang Jian could report to him, the eye demon had already reported to him.

Li Xiang had already guessed that the foreign races were trying to slow down the Kingdom of Dawn's rapid development by launching sneak attacks. The price of facing the kingdom head-on was too great.

It would disturb the people's morale and shake the foundation.

The rat disaster couldn't shake the foundation of the Kingdom of Dawn. The Straw men had dealt with the rats, and even the Rat Devourers had been captured and sent to the Heavenly Prison. But now, they had even used assassination techniques.

If they couldn't deal with the assassination quickly and efficiently, it would be a huge blow to the people's morale and affect their confidence in the Kingdom of Dawn.

"To treat killing as a game. If that's the case, it'd be a little too much if I don't play with you." Li Xiang's eyes revealed a strange look.

Not long after, Zhang Jian came outside of the Star Palace and asked for an audience.

After he was summoned, he quickly recounted what had happened in detail.

"This matter is already beyond your capability. The assassin came from a foreign race, and he's an expert in the assassination. It should also be related to talents. I won't blame you for not being able to catch him. Next, you'll be in charge of appeasing the people in the city. No matter what, morale can not be thrown into chaos. Although the assassination from the foreign races has angered the people in the city, this anger and courage will be exhausted in a short time if the situation continues."

Li Xiang knew that this kind of morale would not last long. It was the blood that burst out after being angered, and it came from the inborn character. However, as long as the three kills in a day incident happened again, it would push the whole incident to a completely different situation. Panic would spread. The most important thing now was to find the killer.

He had to suppress and kill the killer, preventing the three kills a day from continuing.

As long as he could do this, everything else was a small matter.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jian's face revealed a trace of sadness. Without saying anything, he turned and left.

This kind of thing was beyond his ability. He had witnessed the murderer kill several innocent people in succession, but he was helpless.
