Chapter 57

One day later, at dusk.

Lu Changsheng had just finished clearing a mine and was preparing to leave.

Just as he arrived under a big tree, a sudden change occurred.

He saw a middle-aged man in blue sportswear walking out from the jungle not far away, his murderous intent exposed, his face full of ferocity.

"Boy, I finally found you, daring to be presumptuous near Black Mountain, you are really looking for death."

The man's tone was gloomy.

The Great Village Master sent several Bone-forging experts out to investigate the mine sweeping incident, and he had been full of anger all the way while scouting.

Today, he finally found the thief here.

With his own Bone-forging late-stage strength, it was enough to kill this young man who didn't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth.

"Kill."

He quickly raised his blade and slashed forward.

Bursts of sonic booms came from the void, and the momentum was extremely fierce.

This blade, he used all his strength directly without holding back at all.

Lu Changsheng gave a cold smile.

He quickly operated the Spiral Nine Transformations, and he saw several afterimages appear on the field, as if shifting positions.

"Whoosh..."

The long blade slashed directly at the afterimage, the blade light sliced through the tree trunk in front, the leaves around drifted, but no one was seen.

"Such fast speed! Such powerful footwork!"

The middle-aged man was full of horror.

The other party disappeared nearby in the blink of an eye, much faster than himself.

"When did such an expert appear in Changping County? No, I have to go back and report to the Village Master..."

The man turned his head and ran backward, soon disappearing into the dense forest.

Two hours later.

Black Mountain Village, Justice Hall.

Su Qilong and Liu Shiqi, the two village masters, sat on the high platform in front, sipping tea.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked in from the outside.

It was the person who had just fought with Lu Changsheng.

He knelt on one knee toward a strong man in front, his expression respectful: "Reporting to the Village Master, the other party's speed is extremely terrifying, and he has already escaped."

"No matter, I will send people to stare at the mine at all times."

Su Qilong waved his hand, cold glints flashing in his eyes.

"Could it be that the County Office knows our plan?"

Liu Shiqi shook his feather fan, his eyes like a poisonous snake.

"Impossible, only the three of us village masters know about this, plus that Sovereign of the Heaven Demon Gate."

Su Qilong's eyes flickered slightly.

"This matter is already on the string and must be fired; the net has been woven, we just need to cooperate well..."

In a jungle.

Lu Changsheng ran forward quickly, each step was several meters away, and the speed was amazing.

He didn't choose to fight with the other party just now, but retreated directly relying on his footwork.

With his current strength, he couldn't kill the other party for the time being, and there was no benefit in fighting, but instead, he would capsize in the gutter if he wasn't careful.

Next, he didn't prepare to search the mine again.

The Black Mountain Bandits were probably on guard, and now the atmosphere in the entire county town was becoming more and more strange, and he couldn't wait to improve his strength as soon as possible.

He returned toward the county town all the way.

Half a day later.

He returned to the inner city mansion.

For the next month, Lu Changsheng didn't choose to go out, stayed behind closed doors, and controlled the exotic beast clone to act with his thoughts.

Under the feeding of a large number of inferior Fire Crystal Stones, the Fire Ants grew very rapidly, and their strength was greatly improved.

That volcano was indeed extremely suitable for the Fire Ants to multiply.

Under the slow advancement of the exotic beast and the Fire Ants, the harvest was also quite good.

Almost every morning when he woke up, he could find that his resources were increasing.

One month later, early morning.

Lu Changsheng opened the panel.

Source Energy Points: 200.

Looking at the blue light curtain in front of him, he was quite happy.

The resources in his hand broke through the two hundred mark again, which was simply a shot in the arm in this increasingly strange situation.

And the plus sign behind 【Dragon Chant Iron Cloth Shirt】 lit up again.

He no longer hesitated and clicked toward the plus sign immediately. Source Energy Points: -160.

As the Source Energy Points were deducted, a fluctuation from the underworld descended into his mind.

It was as if he was practicing the technique day and night.

【After your many years of bitter cultivation, the Dragon Chant Iron Cloth Shirt has finally reached supernatural mastery.】

Note: This technique has reached an unprecedented degree and cannot be improved again; it needs to be fused and upgraded...

A crisp prompt sound came from deep in his mind.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

On Lu Changsheng's body, it was as if a mountain flood had erupted, and his blood essence surged crazily.

His whole body's muscles were as hard as steel, looking full of power.

"Skin like a membrane, meat like steel?"

"Is this Refining Meat supernatural mastery?"

Lu Changsheng clenched his fists, and an incomparably powerful strength surged into his heart.

If this punch hit, the cow would definitely die.

Refining Meat martial artists would also definitely be blown up.

He felt that his own strength had reached about fifty thousand jin, which was extremely terrifying.

It was no different from the experts in the early stage of Bone-forging.

Even if he didn't use the Burning Blood Secret Art, he could hard-hit the early stage of Bone-forging.

This was the ultimate combat power brought by perfect breakthrough.

The metamorphosis of strength also gave him a trace of security in this strange world.

After multi-party investigation these days, Lu Changsheng also had some guesses.

Wenxiang Sect, Sovereign, Black Mountain Bandits... these forces, whether bright or dark, were like a large net, surrounding the county town.

Coupled with the fact that the Sanhe Gang seemed to be colluding with some forces.

The surroundings of the entire Changping County were like a powder keg.

As for the County Office and the Demon Suppression Office, they were sitting firmly in the center, unmoved, and still powerful.

Both sides would eventually launch a fierce battle one day.

Lu Changsheng must improve his strength as soon as possible to deal with the upcoming changes.

He had a premonition that that day was probably not far away.

Time passed slowly.

Soon it was the end of the year.

This day, at noon.

Lu Changsheng was eating wine and food in the Fragrant Restaurant in the city, when suddenly, there was a commotion on the street downstairs, which was quite grand.

He looked down.

He saw a gorgeous carriage driving slowly toward the city gate.

Around the carriage, there were dozens of Xuanjia Army guards, and the guard was very strict.

The two guards leading them had sharp glints in their eyes, and their auras were as explosive as fire; obviously, they were both Bone-forging experts.

"Who is in the carriage?"

Lu Changsheng asked the waiter beside him casually.

"It's County Lord Du's daughter, Du Ling."

"It is said that the County Lord only has this one daughter, and he treasures her very much; every year at the end of the year, she goes to the Baiyun Temple outside the city to pray for her mother, and there are a large number of experts guarding her side."

The waiter answered with a smile.

Lu Changsheng nodded and didn't speak again.

He also knew about the Baiyun Temple, which was more than twenty miles east of the county town, and the incense in the temple was very prosperous.

The carriage, under the protection of many guards, moved forward slowly and soon disappeared on the street.

Two days later.

An extremely explosive piece of news spread throughout the entire county town instantly.

The County Lord's beloved daughter disappeared while offering incense at the Baiyun Temple!

And she disappeared under the protection of a large number of Xuanjia Army.

This news was like a deep-water bomb, causing the entire county town to rise in a monstrous wave.

The Demon Suppression Office and the County Office hurriedly gathered personnel.

Early in the morning, Lu Changsheng also rushed to the Demon Suppression Office.

At this time, the hall was already full of figures, and the three Deputy Hall Masters sat on the high platform in front.

Lu Changsheng found a corner in the back and stood in place.

Several colleagues nearby also nodded to him with a smile.

Since he became an official Demon Suppression Envoy, others had suddenly become much closer to him.
