office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi took the lead, leading forty to fifty prisoners onto the main road, charging mightily towards the Inspection Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, Zhu Darui said worriedly, \"Bringing this motley crew may not be effective, and they might drag us down instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter, I have my own plans,\" Lou Yi replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once near the Inspection Bureau, Lou Yi shouted loudly, \"Sunset Mountain is doing big business today, let all irrelevant people disperse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sunset Mountain is doing big business!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sunset Mountain...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other prisoners, unaware of the truth, felt a rush of delight at trampling on authority, their blood boiling, and they started shouting along with Lou Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The onlookers noticed the situation here, still uncertain, until they heard Lou Yi’s declaration and were surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The bandits from Sunset Mountain are really daring, to crash into the village government office.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks like they’ve escaped from prison, is this a jailbreak?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhu Darui couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi wants to dump the blame on Sunset Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Sunset Mountain is already notorious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the night succeeds, it might boost its reputation and be beneficial instead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xinxiang Inspection Bureau had long heard the commotion, with numerous archers guarding the gate, as if facing a great enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inspector Cao’s voice also rang out from afar: \"Are you rebelling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the look from Lou Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Darui stepped forward, puffed out his chest and said, \"We were good citizens, captured by you dog officials, tortured, forced to sign, and extorted for money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, we’re only seeking justice!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seeking justice!\" Others echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some bold ones couldn’t hold back, holding crude knives, already charging towards the government office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Release the arrows!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, more than a dozen arrows flew from the government office’s gate with a ’swish,’ instantly covering these few, turning them into porcupines!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their tragic fate, Lou Yi’s group couldn’t help but be unsettled, their ’morale’ shaky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a bunch of trash, watch me break them apart!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Man Slaughter laughed as he walked out from the government office, upper body bare, displaying a body covered in horrifying scars, wielding a wolf fang club full of sharp spikes, and charged at the prisoners!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Thump thump thump!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he moved, it was like a beast passing through, kicking up dust from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His club fell with force, directly smashing an unlucky fellow’s head to sink into the chest cavity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, the masked Iron Hand followed like a ghost, the silver hooks on his right hand gleaming with a dangerous cold light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s the Man Slaughter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that Poison Snake-like Iron Hand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some prisoners recalled the years-long reputation of the Man Slaughter and Iron Hand, their faces showing fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many already retreated subtly, looking for an opportunity to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the increasingly low morale, their group was about to collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi wrapped a black cloth around his face, stepped forward and shouted, \"What dogshit Man Slaughter, Third Boss, I, the Masked Guest, will take him down for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi grabbed an axe found in the cell and charged at the Man Slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What dogshit Masked Guest... it’s you!\" The Man Slaughter engaged with Lou Yi, recognizing him within two moves, his expression becoming slightly serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, he almost fell into a trap with this kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful of his Enchanting Heart Technique!\" Iron Hand quietly reminded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two formed a pincer, surrounding Lou Yi in the center, Xinxiang’s two strongest Chief Constables conjointly dealing with a youngster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolf fang club was powerful and heavy, the silver hooks dangerous and agile, the combination doubling the danger index.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must quickly break the deadlock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi knew that once entangled, unable to break free, the rabble behind him would surely be dispersed by other soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in terms of stamina or experience, they can only fight well uphill and cannot withstand adversity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the deterrence effect of Splitting Mountain was used last time, this time they were prepared and it would be difficult to succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, break through with absolute strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi swung the axe with wide-open force, aiming at the Man Slaughter’s chest, slashing diagonally at a forty-five-degree angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force exceeding a thousand pounds propelled the axe, tearing through the air with a noticeable sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Screw you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Man Slaughter fearlessly swung up the wolf fang club, his entire right arm red-hot as if just roasted by flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the force it carried was also truly astounding, completely resisting Lou Yi’s powered strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even among martial artists, the Man Slaughter was a being of incredible strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the clashing metal resounded several times, piercing the eardrums.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two exchanged several moves in an instant, unable to determine victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they were at a stalemate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Hand silently approached Lou Yi’s side, his body constantly shifting, searching for an opportunity, the silver hooks reflecting the daylight, dangerous and blinding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragon Piercing!\" Lou Yi growled inwardly, revealing his trump card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first took a deep breath, and his chest swelled up instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a line of muscle on his chest gathered and charged toward that Candle Dragon Acupoint hidden deep inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Tss!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a daze, Lou Yi seemed to hear a faint cracking sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, his chest went numb, his whole body’s blood qi surged and boiled like a dam breaking, finally concentrating on his axe-wielding right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The axe that was originally swinging outward accelerated instantly under the superposition of newly born Dual Strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Woo!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where the axe blade passed, a sound similar to ghost wails echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something’s wrong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Man Slaughter, a veteran of a hundred battles, wanted to retreat as soon as he noticed something was off, but how could Lou Yi give him that chance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The axe shadowed him closely, inching closer and closer to his body, leaving Man Slaughter no choice but to desperately swing his club to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, his expression changed dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the Wolf Fang Club, he felt an overwhelming force rushing towards him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wolf Fang Club slipped out of his hand, while Lou Yi’s axe showed no pause, mercilessly cutting toward Man Slaughter’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Man Slaughter’s half-naked upper body, from right shoulder to left waist, had an obvious red line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a ’poof’ sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His torso was split into two neat halves along the red line, with a large amount of blood and organs bursting out, staining the ground around him red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few moves, this Chief Constable, who terrorized Xinxiang and could make children cry, the only Martial Artist in all of Xinxiang, died under Lou Yi’s axe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he provided Lou Yi with two points of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The onlookers, whether enemy or ally, were all stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was this masked guest of such mastery, able to kill Man Slaughter in one strike?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to react was Iron Hand, a Chief Constable on par with Man Slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, he turned and fled, vanishing into the alley beside the Government Office in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brothers of Sunset Mountain, Man Slaughter was butchered by the masked guest, charge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Darui, worthy as the third leader of Sunset Mountain, decisively seized the opportunity, launching an all-out attack using the morale’s ebb and flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Charge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill these bastards!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today I’ll have my revenge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prisoners in the cells were excited, charging madly at the Inspection Bureau, even if the ones in front were shot down, they couldn’t stop their frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within ten steps, in close quarters, arrows became ineffective, and both sides were immediately entangled in a chaotic battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi, leading Zhu Darui and several robust men, charged like a dagger into the heart of the government troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cao, you dog officer, where do you think you’re going!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi shouted angrily, his voice like heavenly thunder, startling Inspector Cao, who stumbled as he ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With two axe strikes, he settled the guards next to Inspector Cao, and Lou Yi grabbed him as easily as catching a chick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, spare my life...\" The once imposing Inspector now had a ghastly pale face and wet pants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you think of today when you hunted and threatened me with my loved ones back then?\" Lou Yi stared at him, speaking softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... you’re Lou Yi? You can’t kill me, or the main city will...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You treat us like weeds, today I tell you, weeds cut you like chickens!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi swung his axe down, beheading the head with the soft cowardly features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inspector Cao of Xinxiang, dead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with Inspector Cao’s death, the remaining archers completely lost the will to resist, scattering like birds and beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hang his head on the plaque!\" Lou Yi bore deep hatred for Inspector Cao, not content with just killing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What should we do with this dog’s family?\" A prisoner came to report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Darui turned his head to look at Lou Yi, his eyes inquiring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When this dog officer coerced my loved ones, how did you expect me to act?\" Lou Yi said grimly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subordinates heard and understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, some sharp ones rushed into the Government Office, and after a moment, several screams were heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi stood in place, his gaze deep and thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to indiscriminately kill innocents, but if someone crossed the line, ignored rules, then he must use violence to respond, as a warning to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading the crowd to the Government Office’s backyard, they found nearly twenty official horses, tall in stature, much better than those on the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those who want to leave, you can go now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those who want to follow us to Sunset Mountain, go grab a horse yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Darui quickly exchanged words with Lou Yi, then shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to go to the mountain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My life, I’ll sell it to you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Lou Yi and Zhu Darui led a crowd of Sunset Mountain bandits, along with other men from the prison willing to join them, riding towards Sunset Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their attack on the Village Government Office and the killing of the Inspector and Chief Constable soon stirred up a storm in the Tai City area!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunset Mountain once again entered the eyes of some important figures in Tai City Main City, becoming their target to be eradicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1737,"2026-05-30T02:45:59.887Z","2026-06-01T04:30:04.667Z",1,"novelbin.me","691ab94b0283f4ad829b4522ee4a234755c8748a61c959f09e0710f5eeaf82dc","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-56","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-54",784,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-cover.jpg"]
