Chapter 91

Several days later.

Changping County City.

The news about the Ghost Soul Envoy being killed again by a mysterious martial artist in the city also spread quickly.

This matter caused a huge uproar in the circle of many martial artists, and it made everyone excited.

Even the dark clouds of the two Patrol Envoys' defeat were dispersed quite a bit.

At the same time, everyone learned for the first time from the news from Caohe Town the name of the mysterious martial artist, a martial artist named Ye Chen.

Soon, everyone began a carpet search in the city.

In just a few days, the martial artist named Ye Chen was found by everyone.

Inside the Zhang family martial arts hall.

A young man in white named Ye Chen looked at the crowd of martial artists in front of him, surrounding him, his expression quite panicked.

He was just a martial artist who had just entered the Skin Refining stage; where had he ever encountered such a battle formation?

Soon, he learned the ins and outs from the crowd.

"I did this? Am I that strong?"

Ye Chen was full of doubts in his heart.

He didn't know which big shot had secretly used his name, or if the other party was also called Ye Chen.

The surrounding martial artists stared at the young man in front of them, and didn't see any signs of a strongman, so they dispersed one after another.

At the same time, the matter of the mysterious martial artist Ye Chen also spread everywhere, and even the DemonSubduingOffice was secretly investigating the information about this person.

Although many martial artists didn't find the real person, they had a premonition in their hearts that the other party would definitely continue to act.

DemonSubduingOffice.

Inside a gorgeous hall.

The three Deputy Hall Masters sat on their chairs with solemn faces.

"This person's strength is quite good; we also received notification from the County Office that the other party didn't send any mysterious strongman, which is a bit strange."

Qin Ruobing's tone was a bit puzzled.

As one of the Deputy Hall Masters, the intelligence network under her command was astonishing, yet she couldn't find this person named Ye Chen.

"This person probably used a disguise, and his identity and name are also fake."

Xiao Tiansi said lightly.

Blood Transmutation martial artists in the city all had records in the government; it was impossible for one to pop up for no reason.

The other party clearly didn't want others to know his true identity.

"We don't need to investigate anymore; this person is clearly a martial artist on the government side."

HeChunlin also smiled.

At this critical moment of confrontation between the two sides, it was excellent to have a martial artist stand up.

It just happened to reverse the decline of the two Patrol Envoys' defeat.

…………

Outside the city, a dim underground space.

A group of Ghost Soul Envoys stood in the center of the hall, with green ghost fires flickering around, and the atmosphere at the scene was quite heavy.

"Humph... that trash Zhou Yunkou almost exposed the Holy Sect's stronghold."

Zuo Jiliang's face was cold.

For this Ghost Soul Envoy who had just been promoted, he was extremely disdainful in his heart.

This kind of ordinary Bone-forging Perfect martial artist, he could suppress and kill in a few moves; it was simply two levels away from Blood Transmutation.

"Next time this seat meets that Ye Chen, I would like to ask for advice."

His eyes were like electricity, scanning the whole scene, and he spoke again.

Qi Guangcheng on the side was also not to be outdone, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

As the only two Blood Transmutation Ghost Soul Envoys at the scene, the two would naturally not retreat because of a mysterious martial artist.

Only Bu Chichong on the side was extremely vigilant in his eyes.

He made up his mind to run away immediately if he met this person.

The other party's speed had left a significant psychological shadow on him.

Strong strength, fast speed; if there was any hesitation, it would probably be difficult to even escape.

…………

The next few days.

Lu Changsheng didn't pay attention to the disturbances in the outside world, focusing on practicing martial arts at home, and went to control the exotic beast to mine at night.

The resources in his hands were also increasing every moment.

It wasn't far from the next skill upgrade.

Sometimes when he felt bored, he would go to the restaurant to sit for a while, and a cup of wine would last a day.

Such days were extremely comfortable.

Looking at the outside of the city, it was another scene; under the competition of the two forces, it became more and more chaotic.

Even the Black Mountain Bandits attacked one after another, openly intercepting and killing merchant caravans heading to the prefecture city; this matter made the County Lord furious.

The entire county city had a feeling that a storm was coming, as if a decisive battle would break out immediately.

East of the city, inside a house.

A woman in a bright red robe leaned halfway on the edge of the bed, her face full of laziness.

In front of the woman, a beautiful woman in white was kneeling.

"Master, the spirit seed feeding plan can start the second stage."

The beautiful woman looked at the woman in front with awe.

"Let the cultists outside the city cooperate fully, start collecting young boys and girls, and refine human pills."

The woman in the red robe had a cold face, and her tone was extremely cold.

"Subordinate obeys orders."

The beautiful woman then got up and walked toward the outside of the house.

…………

Time flew by, and another ten days passed.

This day, late at night.

Inside a study, Lu Changsheng sat quietly on a chair.

In the past few days, because Lu Changsheng had been digging for spiritual creatures with all his might, the resource points in his hands had become full again.

Open the panel.

Source Energy Point: 800.

He didn't hesitate anymore and immediately clicked the plus sign behind the footwork.

As the Source Energy Point decreased by six hundred instantly.

"Buzz..."

A fluctuation from the underworld descended into the depths of his mind again, as if a peerless martial artist was practicing footwork.

【After years of hard practice, the Cloud Smoke Step is finally perfect.】

Accompanied by a crisp prompt sound echoing in his mind.

This upgrade officially ended.

Lu Changsheng immediately walked into the courtyard and began to test it.

"Swish..."

He saw him gently activate the footwork, his entire body seeming to turn into a residual shadow, moving quickly in the courtyard.

Before long, the entire courtyard was full of Lu Changsheng's shadows, which was extremely miraculous.

"Hoo..."

Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly and stopped in the center of the courtyard.

The surrounding residual shadows returned to the main body instantly, like swallows returning to their nests.

This sign was just an illusion caused by moving too fast.

After this upgrade, his speed increased by about 30% again; even a Blood Transmutation Perfect martial artist couldn't catch up with him.

After the top-level movement technique was practiced to perfection, it was so terrifying.

Almost no martial artist in the entire Changping County could reach this realm.

You must know that a martial artist's energy is also limited; most people take the realm as the foundation, then practice the way of attack, and finally the footwork.

As for defensive martial arts, few people practice them.

Some people with high ambitions who practice all four often end up mediocre.

If Lu Changsheng didn't have the attribute modifier, it would be impossible to practice all several martial arts to perfection.

After testing the footwork, Lu Changsheng returned to the bedroom to rest.

The next day, early morning.

Early in the morning, after Lu Changsheng washed up, he walked straight toward the outside of the city.

After spending twenty days of peaceful life in the city, he prepared to go out of the city again to perform tasks.

Lu Changsheng, in a green shirt, with his hands behind his back, walked on the busy street, quite free and easy.

Hanging on his waist was an ordinary wine gourd; the leisurely time over the past few months had also made him fall in love with the wine from the Yue Lai Restaurant.

Most martial artists in the city were like this; due to long-term execution of tasks, most martial artists were in a state of high pressure, and there were not a few who loved good wine.

Many commoners around saw Lu Changsheng walking over and retreated in awe one after another.

For Lu Changsheng, this commoner martial artist, he was almost a household name.

All the way out of the city gate.

Lu Changsheng arrived at a dense forest, operated the Shrink Bone Skill, turned into a young man with a delicate face, and then ran quickly toward the distance.

…………

Five days later.

On an official road three hundred miles away from Changping County.

A large caravan was moving slowly on the official road; the caravan was dozens of meters long from beginning to end.

The front carriages were full of goods, and even the ground was pressed with traces.

There were also many Xuan Jia Army and DemonSubduingOffice martial artists escorting them. In the open-air carriages at the back, sat a large group of people heading to the county city.

In the last carriage of the caravan.

A young man with a delicate face sat at the back of the carriage, quietly looking at the surrounding scenery.

This person was Lu Changsheng.

A few days ago, he learned from intelligence that a large caravan would be heading to the county city recently, so he turned into a commoner martial artist and came into the caravan.

Since the outside of the city became more and more chaotic, every day a large number of wealthy families rushed to the county city to settle down.

Beside Lu Changsheng sat a group of young men and women, all from a small family with the surname Yan.

However, this kind of large-scale migration was most easily intercepted and killed.

Lu Changsheng suspected that there might be Ghost Soul Envoys coming to intercept the caravan, so he hid in the team in advance.

"Brother Ye, are you a very powerful martial artist?"

At this moment, a little boy beside him blinked his big eyes and asked with curiosity.

"Little brother, don't disturb others."

A young girl in white with a beautiful face hurriedly pulled the little boy over.

"Sorry, my little brother is young and doesn't understand things."

Yan Yuying smiled apologetically at Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng smiled lightly and didn't speak.

These two siblings were the direct descendants of this small family; in half a day, he had become quite familiar with them.

Because Lu Changsheng had a long blade hanging on his waist, the child was very curious.

He kept leaning toward him all the way.

The Yan family members in the same carriage were also quite in awe of him.

No matter where a martial artist's identity was, their status was extremely high.

Even if it was just Skin Refining, it was enough for ordinary people to look up to.

The caravan moved forward all the way, and everything was safe until evening.

Just when everyone arrived at a dense forest and prepared to rest for the night and set off again tomorrow, a sudden change occurred.

"Swish..."

A large group of martial artists in black suddenly rushed out from the depths of the dense forest in front, and soon surrounded the entire caravan.

Many men in black held bright steel blades in their hands, and their bodies were full of baleful aura.

The two leaders had particularly terrifying auras, and the killing intent around them seemed to condense into substance.

One of them was Lu Changsheng's old acquaintance, Bu Chichong.

The other was also a cult Ghost Soul Envoy, Jia Changning.

To surround and kill this large caravan, the two Ghost Soul Envoys actually acted together, which was quite rare.

"Enemy attack..."

A DemonSubduingOffice strongman at the head shouted loudly, and the loud voice instantly resounded through the whole scene.

Many Xuan Jia Army soldiers around also acted immediately, protecting the caravan in the middle.

The commander of the Xuan Jia Army on this trip was also a Bone-forging late-stage strongman, with strength similar to that of a Profound-tier Demon Suppression Envoy of the DemonSubduingOffice.

Lu Changsheng had reacted the moment the many cultists appeared.

His eyes were cold, ready to act at any time.

He guessed right; this interception indeed had Ghost Soul Envoys dispatched.

The large number of commoners at the back of the caravan saw this situation and were full of fear.

The whole crowd was a bit restless.

If it weren't for the Xuan Jia Army blocking around, everyone would probably have collapsed on the ground in fear.

Many people were even so scared that they directly leaked yellow and white things, and a foul smell drifted out.

"Kill."

Jia Changning waved his hand and gave the attack order with a cold face.

"Hoo..."

Many cultists immediately rushed toward the Xuan Jia Army, full of pressure, and whistling sounds came from the air.

The two Ghost Soul Envoys, Bu Chichong, also killed the two government Bone-forging strongmen.

"Boom boom boom..."

In an instant, the two sides engaged in close combat.

Bursts of air waves swept out, and the entire battlefield was full of dust and smoke, a mess.

The two government Bone-forging strongmen fell into a disadvantage just in the moment of fighting.

As if they were sailboats in a storm, they would capsize at any time.

Many Xuan Jia Army soldiers around were also struggling to resist.

A group of people had very ugly faces, and their hearts felt even more desolate.

Today, they were probably doomed.

The commoners at the back of the caravan were all crying loudly, full of despair.

If the government strongmen couldn't resist, they would have no way out.

Beside Lu Changsheng, Yan Ziying hugged her little brother tightly, her face extremely pale.

The surrounding Yan family members were also trembling with fear, and an atmosphere of despair shrouded everyone's hearts.

Just at this moment, Lu Changsheng jumped up, jumped off the carriage, and ran toward the battlefield in front.

"Brother Ye, don't go!"

Yan Yuying and the little boy in her arms said at the same time.

After traveling all the way, they had become familiar with each other and didn't want to watch the other party go to their death.

On the battlefield.

In just a few breaths, the two government martial artists were already in danger and probably wouldn't last long.

Both of them were full of despair.

Just at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

A dazzling cold light came from behind, as if to cut through the void, slashing fiercely toward the Ghost Soul Envoy Jia Changning.

The person who slashed was Lu Changsheng.

With this slash, he used his full strength, and the Three Fold Wave secret art was also activated to the limit.

"Not good, there is a strongman hidden in the caravan."

Bu Chichong was full of horror.

The momentum of this strike made his heart tremble.

He thought of the mysterious strongman from the government in the first place.

Then, after he deflected the long blade of the government martial artist in front, he fled backward without looking back.

In a few flashes, he disappeared from the entire battlefield.

"Bastard!"

Seeing this, Jia Changning cursed fiercely.

He didn't expect Bu Chichong to run away directly, without any intention of joining forces with him.

He also wanted to retreat, but he was firmly locked by a powerful aura.

If he turned around now, he would probably face a thunderous blow immediately.

He didn't dare to be negligent, activated his blood essence with all his might, and slashed forward with his blade.

"Zzz..."

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

"Boom boom boom..."

The two long blades collided fiercely, and violent energy swept out.

With one strike.

Lu Changsheng's Killing Pig Knife directly deflected the other party's weapon, and then killed Jia Changning again without losing momentum.

"Not good."

Before Jia Changning could react, a cold light was as fast as lightning, cutting through his neck.

After a breath, Jia Changning clutched his neck and fell backward to the ground, his blood-stained head rolling to the grass on the side.

One strike, and the Ghost Soul Envoy Jia Changning fell.

From Lu Changsheng's strike to the Ghost Soul Envoy's beheading, all this happened in an instant.

"What a fast blade, what an astonishing footwork."

"Is this person the mysterious strongman from the government?"

The two martial artists from the DemonSubduingOffice and the Xuan Jia Army looked at Lu Changsheng in horror.

For the momentum of killing a Ghost Soul Envoy in an instant, it had initially reached the Blood Transmutation level.

If it weren't for the other party hiding in the caravan today, their group would probably have been doomed.

"Thank you, sir, for saving us."

The two walked up slowly and bowed respectfully.

Although Lu Changsheng had changed his appearance again, the two could guess it.

The government's strongmen were just those few, so it wasn't hard to guess.

"You're welcome."

Lu Changsheng pulled his hoarse voice, picked up Jia Changning's head, and ran quickly toward the front.

In the awe-struck eyes of many commoners, he soon disappeared.

The Yan siblings were also shocked for a long time.

They didn't expect that Brother Ye, who was always easygoing, was actually a hidden top strongman.

"Big sister, I want to practice martial arts, and be as majestic as Brother Ye in the future."

The little boy clenched his fists tightly, full of determination.
