Chapter 456: Slaying Generals and Breaking Clans, Fame Shakes the World!

~15 min read 2,926 words

The Jianwu General led troops to surround the residence of Su Juxia.

Watching Su Juxia, who had walked out alone, with not a hint of fear on his face.

A flash of annoyance crossed the Jianwu General's mind.

Ignorant; this fellow was truly too ignorant.

You killed so many experts and government soldiers, and even killed the Commandery Governor; that is as good as stabbing the sky.

Why not run?

Could it be that the true body practiced some Magic Art to rapidly increase power and ruined his brain in the process?

"Enough, if you want to throw your life away, then I shall grant your wish."

"Form ranks! Fire arrows!"

The Jianwu General ordered in a low voice, relying on his personal retainers to quickly relay the command to the entire army.

Instantly, the first few rows of this army facing Su Ping raised their shields, while those further back drew their bows, preparing for a barrage.

The Archer squad leader standing in the fifth row had already drawn his bow to the full.

Just preparing to release and fire.

Relying on a height a head taller than others, this squad leader suddenly noticed the target figure slightly hunching his waist and charging over with a stride.

Regarding this behavior, the squad leader was not surprised; they had dealt with such experts among the bandits before.

Experts who realized they could not avoid the rain of arrows would also choose to close in on the military formation and fight the shield-bearers to the death, hoping to trade for a few more lives before they died.

However, the first row of the Jianwu General's formation consisted of true elites.

Besides shields, everyone was also wearing three layers of armor.

Boom!

The squad leader had no time to think further.

He discovered that Su Juxia had slammed into the first row of shields at a speed he could barely track.

Immediately, the squad leader saw the three-row military formation collapse to the left and right as if a levee had burst.

And Su Juxia's hands had even grabbed the long spears that were thrust out at the first opportunity.

Then, with a forceful toss toward the sky, he actually sent several spear-wielding soldiers—men and spears alike—flying into mid-air, letting out screams filled with terror!

The squad leader only tilted his head to look at the screaming spear-wielding soldiers in mid-air.

Immediately, he felt a bone-chilling cold wind blowing toward him.

He only felt a black shadow sweep past him.

The squad leader discovered he was already flying, and after spinning several times, he slammed into a group of soldiers behind him.

Although he was lucky enough not to die.

This squad leader felt as if all the bones in his body were shattered, and he could not even move his fingers.

As he gasped for air, desperately trying to take a deep breath.

Suddenly, he saw someone else fly into mid-air, just happening to block his field of vision.

Following that, he realized he recognized this person; it was the squad leader of the heavy infantry, born looking like a wild bear, also a colleague with innate talent and a limitless future.

But now, this person was falling vertically.

With a bang, the squad leader's vision went black, and he lost consciousness completely.

The street, where the traces of the battle from not long ago had not yet been cleaned up, suffered an even greater impact this time.

Accompanied by Su Juxia charging into the military formation before the arrows were fired.

The entire vanguard fell into Chaos.

Amidst the shouts of battle, as soldiers continuously fell and government troops flew into mid-air.

The wailing gradually overwhelmed the shouts of battle.

It also made the Jianwu General open his mouth slightly, muttering to himself:

"Is this the true Heaven-Born Divine Strength?"

"The previous records of Changle County must have been edited; isn't this Divine Power a bit too great?"

Hot sweat slightly beaded on the Jianwu General's forehead.

Yet he still steadily exercised his command ability, continuously ordering the rear ranks to fill in for the front ranks.

And upon discovering that the battle line was beginning to waver, no matter how reluctant he was, he decisively ordered his personal retainers to dismount, form ranks, and fill the gap.

Only, the Jianwu General soon discovered that after his carefully cultivated armored retainers went up, they seemed no different from the others.

It was either one punch per person, or they were grabbed by their weapons or bodies, and then sent flying into mid-air against their will.

After landing, those below the level of a Second-rate Expert basically made no more sound.

After the Jianwu General sent out the third batch of retainers to fill in.

Before the retainers could even make contact with Su Juxia.

He had already turned his horse's head and led the cavalry to begin retreating toward the city gate.

Boom!

In the close-quarters melee, Su Ping's Avatar could feel that with every breath and every kill, he was becoming more comfortable with this body, and his overall strength was continuously increasing.

After snatching a short blade, he then slashed the throats of five or six surrounding soldiers with one stroke.

As these soldiers fell to the ground, the space in front of Su Ping became empty; the surrounding soldiers, their hot blood having cooled, looked at the corpses of their brothers and comrades filling the street and were finally afraid.

Even the retainers retreated one after another, not daring to continue forward to meet the battle.

Su Ping's Avatar ignored these terrified soldiers and looked toward the Jianwu General, who was turning his back on him.

"The Commandery Governor is dead, and the Assistant General is dead too."

"As the veritable number one person outside the city in the Great Xia Dynasty, since you dared to come and suppress me, then you might as well be neat and tidy with your colleagues."

"That way, it'll be easier to just dig one pit and bury you all together."

Su Ping's Avatar instantly turned into a blurred shadow, running in pursuit of the cavalry troop.

The Jianwu General heard the sound of running behind him and looked back to see Su Ping's Avatar chasing after them.

He whipped his mount desperately to make it increase its speed.

These warhorses from the Red Dragon Realm were far superior to their kin on Water Blue Star; once they ran at full speed, they were not much slower than a racing car for a short time.

It was just a pity that what they had encountered was Su Juxia, whose body had been possessed by Su Ping's Avatar.

Two legs were actually faster than four.

The South Gate was already in sight.

Yet, the Jianwu General heard the screams of the cavalry behind him and felt a gust of wind blowing toward him.

As a First-rate Expert, the Jianwu General hurriedly twisted his waist and drew his saber to slash out.

Then, he slashed into a warhorse that had been kicked over by Su Ping's Avatar.

Bang!

The sharp saber cut into the horse's body, but it could not stop the warhorse's heavy carcass from slamming into him.

Amidst a loud crash, the Jianwu General and his mount were sent flying, rolling directly into a pawnshop.

The pawnshop could not withstand the subsequent destruction, and after the two-story building swayed a few times, it collapsed with a clatter.

Boom!

The ruins of the collapsed building suddenly exploded, and the disheveled Jianwu General escaped from within, seeing the gate guards and roaring at them to stop Su Juxia.

But those guards had all watched how the Jianwu General's cavalry troop had been wiped out by the devil chasing them.

Coupled with the Jianwu General's panicked appearance, the guards simply scattered in a rout.

In the next breath, the Jianwu General discovered that he had been caught up to by that Su Juxia!

His whole body shuddered, and just as he was about to find an excuse to beg the other party to spare his life,

he felt his occiput grabbed by a large hand.

Immediately, he was slammed directly into the ground within the gate tunnel.

Boom!

With this blow, the Jianwu General was slammed directly into the ground, creating a stone pit over three meters in diameter and more than half a meter deep.

Between life and death, this Jianwu General began to resist desperately, and a faint white light emerged from his body.

"A First-rate Expert who has already relied on a formidable physical body to intuitively sense a bit of the knack for circulating Dharma Power?"

Su Ping's Avatar looked at this white light without much concern.

He merely scanned with his divine sense to confirm that this fellow was not some pawn of a Moshen Huashen.

He clenched his left fist and delivered another punch directly to the Jianwu General at the bottom of the pit.

Instantly!

Following a dull thud, a shockwave emanated from the gate tunnel.

The Jianwu General bled from his seven orifices and ceased to breathe.

Su Ping's Avatar began to loot the corpse.

He found a short blade of decent quality and an Iron Bone Mace on the other party.

Then, he dragged the other party by the legs back into the city.

He looked at the Jianwu Army, which had lost all fighting spirit all around.

Su Ping let go of his hand and shouted loudly:

"What are you still standing there for!"

"Didn't you see how dirty and messy the commandery city has become because of our fight?"

"Hurry up and organize yourselves to clean it up, and help collect the corpses while you're at it!"

"Oh right, remember to find this guy, the Commandery Governor, and that so-called Assistant General and bury them together."

Su Ping paused, his gaze locking onto an armored house servant who looked like he held a decent position.

That servant was one of the Jianwu General's deputies, who had been stationed with the infantry and had instead survived by fleeing with the routed soldiers.

Targeted by Su Ping's Avatar, the man's legs went soft and he knelt on the ground, answering repeatedly that he understood and would do it right away.

Su Ping returned to the Su Family and had a meal.

When night fell, he took advantage of the darkness to leave the commandery city.

Then, he raided for a thousand miles in one night; Su Ping's Avatar, believing in settling debts without delay, set fire to the manors and fortified strongholds outside the city belonging to the local powerful clans that had offended him.

Unfortunately, among the five local powerful clans, only the lives of two clan heads were taken.

The other three families had been cautious and, without waiting for news from the Jianwu Army to arrive, had taken their valuables and fled to the Prefecture or even the Capital.

Of course, they did not foresee that Su Juxia would not even fear the regular army and would even behead a legitimate general.

Rather, like the Jianwu General, they felt that since Su Juxia had caused such a huge incident, he would most likely be fleeing.

They were not afraid of bandits while in their fortified strongholds outside the city.

But upon encountering an expert with Heaven-Born Divine Strength like Su Juxia, they all felt a chill on their necks and decided it was better to stay away for a while.

After this night.

The news of Su Juxia turning into a world-shaking devil, wiping out the Jianwu Army in one battle, and destroying the five great powerful clans of Changle County in one night,

spread across a radius of a thousand miles as if it had grown wings.

Afterward, it spread further and further through peddlers, servants of the fleeing powerful clans, and deserters.

In the Prefecture of Tongzhou, to which Changle County belonged,

the Prefecture Governor Sima Yi was frowning as he looked at the document from Changle County.

Beside him, the various bigwigs of the Prefecture were also summoned over.

After all, the killing of a Commandery Governor was a heaven-shattering affair.

Not to mention that Commandery Governor Zhang had heaven-reaching connections.

Prefecture Governor Sima was very worried that this would implicate him.

After all, the current Great Xia Dynasty has been established for over two hundred years, and it is nearing the end of the dynasty.

Regarding such matters of killing officials, they were also exceptionally sensitive.

"This matter is of great importance, of great importance indeed!"

Prefecture Governor Sima put down the document, sighed a few times, and then his gaze swept across his colleagues.

Just as he was intending to state his thoughts, hoping to gain their support to minimize the impact of this matter.

Suddenly, the room door was knocked.

Hearing the sound was his trusted aide, Prefecture Governor Sima frowned, then let him enter the room.

Immediately, he saw this trusted aide of the Prefecture Governor approaching Prefecture Governor Sima's ear with his head full of sweat.

After a burst of Secret Language, Prefecture Governor Sima's pupils contracted.

Seeming to suspect he had heard wrong, he asked several times in succession, still not believing it.

He stood up and hurriedly went to the backyard, intending to send out the most trusted experts of the mansion to investigate.

The other officials attending the meeting also realized the situation had changed again and tactfully bowed and left.

Not long after, they learned through their respective connections what had happened subsequently in Changle County.

The Jianwu General was killed, and the great army was routed by that Su Juxia alone!

In the words of the deserters, that Su Juxia was simply not human; he did not know fatigue, was impervious to blades and spears, and possessed infinite strength.

As long as they were approached by the opponent, whether it was elite soldiers or First-rate Experts, they were crushed in a single exchange!

The various officials were just digesting this shocking news when they subsequently learned that Su Juxia had wiped out five noble families in Changle County overnight!

This news made many officials feel fear.

After all, most of them came from noble families.

Even if they hadn't before, once their official positions grew large, they would follow suit and acknowledge their clans.

Su Juxia's actions gave them a feeling of "the rabbit dying and the fox grieving."

Naturally, these people in the Prefecture were also the first to not believe it.

They also dispatched their most trusted experts to investigate.

At the same time, a Bounty Order for Su Juxia of Changle County was posted.

It was as high as one hundred thousand taels of silver, and if one wanted to be an official, they could also be recommended by the Prefecture Governor to become an Assistant General.

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.

Not to mention the various experts who considered themselves high and mighty.

In just a few short days, wave after wave of experts went to Changle County.

Then, after a series of thunderous sounds, these experts were all collected by soldiers and hauled to the Luanzang Gang outside the city.

Beside that Luanzang Gang, an extra mound of earth appeared.

On the mound were buried the corpses of the Commandery Governor, the Assistant General, and the Jianwu General.

It was just that, apart from the tombstones still remaining, the coffins and corpses of this mound had already been dug up and taken away by some people.

The Luanzang Gang was not lacking in grave robbers either.

It was mainly to probe Su Juxia's methods.

"Is it really Heaven-Born Divine Strength?"

A masked person examined more than a dozen corpses.

He did not see the slightest trace of Dharma Power residue.

He could feel that these people had all been smashed by pure, peerless strength.

This mysterious masked person clicked his tongue in wonder.

Then, not long after, under the gaze of this mysterious masked person.

He saw the Prefecture's number one expert: the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang Sect.

And the masters of the five major martial arts halls of the Prefecture, a total of six Martial Arts Grandmasters, came to this county city together.

Then the five hall masters arrived at the entrance of the Su Family first, and after encountering that Su Juxia.

In the time it took for that Sect Master to hear the commotion and rush over.

The five hall masters had already been beaten into corpses.

Seeing this scene, that Sect Master immediately turned and retreated.

Just at the moment of eye contact, that Su Juxia threw at him the Refined Iron Long Staff he had snatched from one of the hall masters.

It was clearly a throw from hundreds of meters away.

Yet the Refined Iron Long Staff crossed the distance of hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.

Even when the long staff arrived before him, this Sect Master only then heard the sound of wind breaking.

Then this number one expert of the Prefecture was, unsurprisingly, pierced through the body, and then directly stuck on the city wall to serve as a flagpole.

Which also made the subsequent corpse collectors quite annoyed.

"..."

"It is a wood-attribute innate Spirit Body."

"To be able to awaken on one's own without inheritance, the quality is priceless!"

The mysterious masked person's eyes flickered, looking at the back of Su Juxia who was returning to sleep, a flash of greed appearing.
