Chapter 85

The next day, early morning.

Early in the morning, Lu Changsheng was called to the Demon Suppression Office by Qin Ruobing.

When Lu Changsheng stepped into the main hall, I saw Qin Ruobing was lowering her head to approve official documents, with a solemn face.

Seeing Lu Changsheng arrive, Qin Ruobing put down the writing brush in her hand and smiled sweetly.

"Calling you here today is mainly to inform you of some things."

"Please instruct, Hall Master."

Lu Changsheng smiled faintly.

"What is your opinion on the beheading of Duan Lingyun?"

Qin Ruobing's eyes moved slightly.

"Subordinate believes that the group of cultists will definitely retaliate crazily next."

Lu Changsheng's expression was very calm, as if he had nothing to do with this matter.

"Not bad, this is also one of the reasons why I summoned you. Next, you must be cautious when patrolling outside. The first few Ghost Soul Envoys may have Blood Transmutation strength. If you encounter them, escape immediately."

Qin Ruobing was very serious.

The two Patrol Envoys under her were not top-tier in strength, so naturally, she didn't want them to fall easily.

"I heard that you also practiced defensive techniques?"

A moment later, she spoke again.

"Hmm."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

"Sigh..."

Qin Ruobing sighed softly upon hearing this.

"The path of martial arts is like climbing a dangerous peak. The higher you go, the harder it is. However, a warrior's energy is limited, so you must still take the realm as the foundation..."

She had seen too many geniuses who wasted half their lives because they wanted to practice themselves to perfection.

"Subordinate knows."

Lu Changsheng smiled faintly and didn't explain anything.

It was impossible to tell others about such a heaven-defying thing as his own panel.

Seeing this, Qin Ruobing's eyes showed a trace of disappointment.

In her view, even a person with top-tier talent could not practice realm, blade technique, speed, and defense to the top level at the same time.

If you delay for more than ten years halfway, under the decline of blood energy, it will be difficult to impact the true peak of martial arts.

However, she had already warned him, so it was not good to say anything more.

She could only sigh in her heart.

"According to the County Lord's plan, it will take about four years to go out of the city to clear out bandits and cults. I hope you understand..."

She couldn't help but speak again.

The meaning was very clear.

Lu Changsheng only had four years left.

If he couldn't seize the time to improve his strength, it would be extremely dangerous when the great war came.

By then, even she couldn't say she could protect a group of Demon Suppression Office members 100%.

"Thank you, Hall Master, for the reminder."

Lu Changsheng arched his hands, with a solemn face.

He also understood that according to the increasingly urgent situation now, the great war was probably not far away.

Four years? It was enough for him to grow up.

He set a small goal for himself in his heart.

Break through to Blood Transmutation perfection within two years, and impact higher realms in the remaining time.

With the massive amount of spiritual creatures in the Cangyun Mountain Range, this was not very difficult.

Just as the two were talking, light footsteps came from outside the hall.

Lu Changsheng turned his head to look.

I saw a woman in white walking over gracefully, with a good face and outstanding temperament.

In a few breaths, the woman walked into the main hall.

This woman was another Patrol Envoy under Qin Ruobing.

"Subordinate pays respects to Hall Master Qin."

Tong Yuhua smiled and arched her hands in a salute.

Her eyes glanced at Lu Changsheng on the side, somewhat surprised.

She also didn't know why the Hall Master summoned both of them today.

"Sit."

Qin Ruobing smiled faintly.

Tong Yuhua sat down lightly, looking at Qin Ruobing with confusion.

Both were waiting quietly for Qin Ruobing to speak.

At this time, Qin Ruobing took out two strange stones emitting pure white light and placed them on the table in front.

"This is?"

Lu Changsheng and the other were quite surprised.

They had never seen such items before.

Naturally, they were very curious.

"This item is a contact gemstone, recently developed by the Heavenly Craft Hall. Its value is somewhat high, so it cannot be equipped for Demon Suppression Office members on a large scale."

"As long as you are within a hundred miles, activate the gemstone, and you can be sensed by other people holding it."

Qin Ruobing smiled and explained.

"These two are for you two. My branch hall, besides me, only has two shares."

"Thank you, Hall Master."

Lu Changsheng and the other were full of smiles.

This thing was quite good, at least when in a crisis, there was an extra backup.

"Do the other Patrol Envoys have them?"

Tong Yuhua smiled sweetly.

She guessed that the Demon Suppression Office wanted them to patrol outside the city and then use the gemstones to watch over and help each other.

"The other four Patrol Envoys have them, plus the four experts from the Xuanjia Army, a total of ten people."

"After you encounter danger, you can try to activate it and wait for support."

Qin Ruobing smiled and explained.

"The next Deputy Hall Master will also be produced from the six of you. I hope you two will also try your best to compete."

"As long as your merits can reach it, I will also fully support you."

Her expression was very calm.

She didn't hold much hope for this in her heart, just followed the practice and encouraged them a few words.

The two Patrol Envoys under her were almost at the bottom in strength, and it was already good to be able to survive in fierce conflicts, so naturally, she didn't dare to ask for anything.

"We will definitely not fail the Hall Master's cultivation."

Tong Yuhua and the other arched their hands, with solemn faces.

Subsequently, Lu Changsheng and the other picked up the strange stones on the table and bid farewell one after another.

…………

After Lu Changsheng returned home, he took out the contact stone and played with it for a while.

Soon he understood how to activate it.

It only needs a trace of blood energy to immediately transmit his own position, which is extremely convenient.

In the future, when the six Patrol Envoys of the Demon Suppression Office are performing missions outside, they can all use this item to contact.

Among these six Patrol Envoys, the two Patrol Envoys under Hall Master HeChunlin are the strongest.

Probably have Blood Transmutation strength.

Next are the two Patrol Envoys under Xiao Tiansi.

As for Lu Changsheng and the other, they are the weakest Patrol Envoys recognized in the Demon Suppression Office.

Of course, this is also the reason why Lu Changsheng did not choose to expose himself.

In his view, these rankings are just empty names.

Ranking high, on the contrary, makes it easy to be targeted by cultists.

Lu Changsheng is still used to low-key development.

…………

Late night, silent as water.

Lu Changsheng separated a wisp of thought and cast it into the Pangolin's body.

Looking around, it was still a cave full of dry and hot aura.

The Ant Queen lay quietly in the center of the cave, her aura becoming more and more stable.

After being promoted to a Tier 3 exotic beast, the Ant Queen's egg-laying speed was also much stronger.

Not only that, the quality of the ant eggs laid also had a significant improvement.

Some ant tribes were born as Tier 2 exotic beasts.

Plus the feeding of a large amount of fire crystals in the crater, the ant tribe expanded several times in a short period of time.

Next, Lu Changsheng wanted to control the ant colony to start looting the magma river side with all his might.

He suspected that those high-tier fire crystals were all washed up from the magma river, as long as he could collect a part, it would be enough to greatly increase his strength.

Breaking through to Blood Transmutation perfection within two years depends on how many spiritual creatures this magma river can dig up.

Although there are a large number of fire toads in the magma river, relying on the number of ant colonies, he could barely start the action, although the consumption of the ant colony would be very large.

However, time was tight, and Lu Changsheng had to do so.

Just when Lu Changsheng was thinking, a giant Flame Ant crawled into the cave, with an extremely bright fire crystal in its mouth.

A flash of fire-red light instantly illuminated the dark cave.

Even Lu Changsheng was alarmed.

He rushed quickly to the side of this Flame Ant and placed his claws on this fire crystal.

"Fire Crystal Marrow discovered, absorb?"

"Absorb."

Lu Changsheng's expression was quite confused; this was the first time he had encountered this fire crystal marrow.

He clicked the absorb button.

"Source Energy Point +50."

In his mind, a crisp prompt sound echoed.

Lu Changsheng was surprised.

He didn't expect that this small piece of crystal could increase so many Source Energy Points.

Several times more than high-tier fire crystals.

"There must be many such crystal marrows at the bottom of the magma river, he must find a way to get his hands on them."

Lu Changsheng's heart was a bit hot.

These crystal marrows were related to his own opportunity to take off.

The next few days.

Lu Changsheng had been ordering the ant colony to go to the magma river to collect spiritual creatures.

Six days passed in a flash.

During these days, many fire crystals were collected, and even a fire crystal marrow was collected again.

This made him quite satisfied.

Open the panel.

Source Energy Points: 520.

Breaking through the 500 mark again, his own skills could also be improved again.

…………

Late night.

Changping County.

Lu Changsheng opened the panel and clicked the plus sign behind the blade technique.

"Hum..."

A wave from the underworld descended again, as if a strong man was practicing blade techniques in his mind day and night. 【After several years of hard training in blade techniques, you have finally practiced the Profound Origin Slash to the stage of great accomplishment.】

Lu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, as if time was flowing in his eyes.

At this moment, his blade technique finally reached great accomplishment.

Lu Changsheng walked into the courtyard and began to verify it.

"Whoosh..."

He immediately drew the Killing Pig Knife and slashed forward fiercely.

The dazzling cold light flickered in the void, and it seemed that even the moonlight could hardly cover its brilliance.

Not only that, after the blade technique reached great accomplishment, his attack power increased by about 20% again.

Don't underestimate this 20%; as strength gets stronger, the increase becomes more astonishing.

After this improvement in strength, the safety of the subsequent patrol missions would also be greatly enhanced.

He still had two martial arts that hadn't been improved to great accomplishment, and he thought that the crystal marrow by the magma river was enough to make him transform.

He thought to himself in his heart.

…………

The next day, early morning.

Early in the morning, after Lu Changsheng got up, he prepared to patrol outside the city again.

Although the Demon Suppression Office did not have clear regulations, it was ultimately not very good to stay in the city all the time, as his colleagues were all fighting outside the city.

Ever since he took over as Patrol Envoy, compared to the other few Patrol Envoys, he had spent the fewest days outside the city.

Fortunately, Qin Ruobing didn't say anything, and others couldn't control him.

Lu Changsheng was able to be so free.

He crossed the courtyard, walked all the way, and soon left the city gate.

After finding a small dense forest, he operated the 【Shrink Bone Skill】.

"Click, click, click..."

Bursts of light sounds came from his whole body, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a burly man.

It was exactly the appearance when he killed Duan Lingyun last time.

Even the Killing Pig Knife in his hand turned into an ordinary standard long blade.

Subsequently, Lu Changsheng rushed toward the front quickly.

The next few days, Lu Changsheng had been patrolling outside the city, killing cultists when he met them.

He rescued many ordinary warriors and commoners.

After taking action many times, he had fruitful results.

During the period, he also encountered a few Blood Transmutation cultists, but they were all easily retreated by him.

With his current speed, ordinary Blood Transmutation warriors couldn't catch up with him at all.

……

Three days later.

On an official road more than three hundred miles away from the county town.

"Kill..."

The two sides were fighting fiercely, shouting and weapons colliding, echoing throughout the official road.

The surroundings were full of flying sand and stones, rolling up a large amount of smoke and dust, making people unable to see clearly.

A group of Wenxiang Sect men in black surrounded the government warriors firmly in the center.

The leader was a man in red robes with a gloomy face, his whole body full of murderous intent, and his momentum was extremely astonishing.

This person was exactly the ninth Ghost Soul Envoy of the Wenxiang Sect, Liao Jinping, famous for being cruel and bloodthirsty, who once slaughtered a village in half a day.

The person fighting with Liao Jinping was a woman in white with a good face and a quite slender figure.

This woman was Patrol Envoy Tong Yuhua.

When she was executing, she met the opponent and came to rescue, and the two sides fought directly.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The two's force splashed wantonly, the ground was shaken and cracked, and the scene was in disarray.

Tong Yuhua's strength was obviously not as good as the opponent's, and she soon fell into a disadvantage.

Her expression was quite anxious.

As early as when the two were fighting, she activated the contact stone, but no one came to rescue for half a day, which made her quite helpless.

"Jie, jie, jie... Little girl, are you ready to be abused and killed by this seat?"

Liao Jinping had an evil intent.

He had already thought about how to deal with the opponent.

Just at this time, a blood-red figure in the distance rushed toward the battlefield quickly.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the center of the official road, revealing a young man with a hooked nose.

The man's hands were like chicken claws, and his whole body was full of murderous intent.

This person was also a Ghost Soul Envoy, named Bu Cong, with Bone-forging perfection strength.

Seeing this, Tong Yuhua's pupils shrank, her face full of despair.

She could barely resist one Ghost Soul Envoy, and now that another one came, she was definitely not an opponent.

Many government warriors on the field all showed fear.

Now they would probably all die here.

At this time, Bu Cong immediately killed his way toward Tong Yuhua, kicked his legs for several meters, and arrived before the opponent in the blink of an eye.

Raised the long blade in his hand and slashed quickly.

Tong Yuhua hurriedly swung her sword to resist, and cold light flickered in the void.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The force around splashed wantonly, rolling up bursts of wild wind.

Under one strike, Tong Yuhua was already in danger, and her whole body retreated more than ten meters backward.

The two Wenxiang Sect Ghost Soul Envoys chased up again.

Just when Tong Yuhua was preparing to fight for her life, a sudden change occurred.

I saw a white figure in the distance rushing toward the battlefield quickly.

Fast as lightning, in a few flashes, he arrived beside Tong Yuhua, revealing a burly man with a rough face.

It was exactly Lu Changsheng, who had changed his appearance.

When he was patrolling outside, he sensed the movement from the contact stone, so he rushed over to check the situation immediately.

Seeing that Tong Yuhua was in crisis, he took action without hesitation.

Seeing the person coming, Tong Yuhua's expression was extremely happy.

Although she felt extremely strange about this face, she had also heard of the opponent's battle record.

A person who could strongly behead a Ghost Soul Envoy was definitely not weak.

Moreover, this mysterious warrior also belonged to the county government side.

"It's you!"

Liao Jinping and the other had fierce faces, and murderous intent erupted in their eyes.

The two also instantly recognized Lu Changsheng.

"Kill."

At this time, Lu Changsheng didn't hesitate, and immediately took action.

He operated his footwork, arrived quickly before Liao Jinping, and swung his blade to slash forward.

The sharp cold light shuttled through the void, as if it could cut through everything.

"Die for this seat."

Liao Jinping took action with anger, and also slashed forward with one blade.

The blade edge rubbed against the air, emitting a harsh whistling sound, and the momentum was extremely extraordinary.

Tong Yuhua on the side also immediately took action to kill Bu Cong.

Bu Cong did not show weakness and directly met him.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Both sides fought bloody battles on the official road, violent air waves swept in all directions, the ground crisscrossed, and the scene was in disarray.

Under one strike.

Lu Changsheng stood firmly in place, like a Mount Tai, motionless.

With his own strength, he had completely surpassed the opponent.

In contrast, Liao Jinping retreated several meters away, and the hand holding the blade trembled uncontrollably.

His face was full of fear.

"Who exactly are you?"

The intelligence in the government did not have this mysterious man, and such strength made him feel inferior.

The opponent was enough to be comparable to some of the Ghost Soul Envoys in the front.

"Slash."

Lu Changsheng ignored the opponent and raised his blade to kill his way up again.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Both sides fought again.

As time passed, it became increasingly fierce.

Half a cup of tea's time passed.

Lu Changsheng seized a flaw in Liao Jinping and instantly activated the secret technique 【Three Fold Wave】.

"Whoosh..."

The blood energy in his body surged again, surrounding his whole body, which was quite miraculous, and even his strength increased a lot.

He raised his blade and slashed forward fiercely.

"Boom, boom..."

The steel blade in Liao Jinping's hand was directly swung away, and he instantly had a face full of fear.

"Not good."

Before he could react.

"Clatter..."

A cold light instantly slashed across Liao Jinping's neck.

"You..."

Liao Jinping held his neck and fell backward slowly.

A large amount of fresh blood gushed out, staining a large area of grass red.

Peak strike, Liao Jinping died.

Of course, this also had the reason that the opponent fell into a disadvantage.

All of this happened too quickly, and the people on the field reacted only then, with fear on their faces one after another.

"Not good, run quickly."

A group of Wenxiang Sect cultists ran toward the surroundings like a swarm of bees.

Bu Cong had already forced back Tong Yuhua with one blade before falling into a disadvantage, and ran toward the side.

He directly activated the blood essence secret technique, plus strange footwork, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"I, Tong Yuhua, thank you, brother, for your help."

At this time, Tong Yuhua walked up gracefully, bowing in a salute with a face full of gratitude.

A slender figure was perfectly outlined.

If the opponent hadn't arrived in time, she probably wouldn't have been able to escape the disaster.

Falling into the hands of this group of cultists would only be worse than death.

"You're welcome."

Lu Changsheng smiled, pulling his slightly hoarse voice.

Subsequently, he cleaned up Liao Jinping's corpse and turned to walk toward the rear.

A group of government warriors on the field all looked at Lu Changsheng's back with awe.

Even Tong Yuhua was quite confused.

"Such fast blade technique and body method, who exactly is this person?"

Moreover, this person actually gave her a sense of familiarity, which was extremely strange.

However, even if she racked her brains, she couldn't think of the opponent's identity.
