Chapter 125: Slaying Protectors in Succession! Revenge Fulfilled!

"Woo..."

The next day, early morning.

A low-pitched horn sound resounded through the clouds, and the many martial artists in the entire city were instantly awakened.

They rose one after another and rushed toward the direction of the city walls.

On the streets of the town, a large number of martial artists were like a tide, holding weapons, their faces full of murderous aura.

After more than half a year of bloody fighting, everyone was all too familiar with this horn sound; it was the signal for that group of heretic cultists to launch a large-scale attack.

Lu Zhangsheng also walked out of the courtyard and rushed rapidly toward the street ahead.

Flying all the way, he soon arrived at the edge of the city wall.

At this moment, the city wall was already packed with dense crowds of experts.

The person in the lead wore a suit of white armor, his face resolute, only his complexion was slightly pale.

This person was precisely the Xuanjia Army Commander, the guardian god among the common people of the county city, Wei Shaoxuan.

Behind him stood six Tuotai experts with soaring momentum.

Among them were two late-stage Tuotai and four mid-stage Tuotai.

One of the old men with a pigeon-like face had sharp light in his eyes, his figure was thin, and his hands resembled chicken claws.

The other party was precisely one of the foundations of the Demon-Suppressing Division, Gong Zhangfeng, in the late-stage Tuotai Realm.

Around these few people, there were also some early-stage Tuotai experts standing scattered about.

The momentum of the group intertwined, stirring up violent gales, as if even the clouds in the high sky were shaken away.

Seeing Lu Zhangsheng arrive, Tong Yuhua and the others' eyes lit up, and they hurriedly walked toward Lu Zhangsheng.

Everyone understood that in such large-scale wars, only by huddling together could they survive better.

This small group had already experienced many large-scale wars, and each time they relied on Lu Zhangsheng's powerful strength to kill their way out of the encirclement, so they naturally trusted him incomparably.

"Patrol Envoy Lu, we are going to fight side by side again."

Tong Yuhua smiled sweetly, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

"You and I shall face the enemy together."

Lu Zhangsheng smiled slightly, and after the two looked at each other, they tacitly set a plan.

The two often went out of the city to carry out missions; they were all too familiar with such scenes.

At this moment, Lu Zhangsheng cast his gaze outside the city.

He saw a slender woman standing prettily in front of the formation, wearing a half-mask on her face, making it impossible to see her clearly.

The other party's figure was extremely seductive, and a red robe perfectly displayed her curvaceous form.

This woman radiated an extremely terrifying aura from her whole body, as deep as an abyss or the sea.

The many heretic cultists around did not dare to look directly at her, and with faces full of respect, they lowered their heads slightly.

On the edge of the city wall, many government martial artists saw the other party's grace and charm, and they swallowed their saliva one after another, a wisp of warmth rising in their lower abdomens.

"This demon witch Zhao Yuanjing's seduction art has become increasingly refined."

Lu Zhangsheng's expression was as calm as water.

Not only that, he sensed an extremely powerful threat from the other party.

That was the power of some kind of demon; the other party had clearly mastered it long ago, and it was absolutely not something those half-baked Protectors could compare to.

He scanned his surroundings; the large number of low-rank martial artists beside him were already red-faced, wishing they could rush up and pin this demon witch down to ravage her fiercely.

"Commander Wei, why insist on working for the government? How about coming to my Holy Sect to be a Vice Cult Leader? This slave will definitely sweep the bed to welcome you..."

Zhao Yuanjing blinked, her tone very frivolous.

It was as if ripples were flowing in her eyes, making people involuntarily want to immerse themselves in them.

Some people with low cultivation were unable to restrain themselves, staring fixedly at the other party.

"Hmph..."

Wei Shaoxuan let out a cold snort, which resounded through the entire hall, startling the many low-rank martial artists around him awake.

"There is no need to use such petty tricks; you and I had better see the real deal with our own hands."

He spoke slowly, his tone incomparably cold.

"Kill."

At this moment, Zhao Yuanjing waved her large hand and directly issued the attack order.

"Hoo..."

Behind her, a large number of heretic cult experts rushed toward the direction of the city gate, like a tide.

The momentum of the six people in the lead was the most astonishing, with bursts of murderous aura shooting straight into the clouds.

Among them, four were the four great Protectors who had surrounded and killed Lu Zhangsheng, Yu Zhangyuan and the others.

The other two wore black robes, their faces withered, their eyes cold and sharp.

These two were the heretic cult's first and second Protectors, possessing late-stage Tuotai strength.

"Everyone, take action immediately to intercept this group of heretic cultists..."

Wei Shaoxuan roared, his loud voice shooting straight into the sky.

Following his order, the great battle between the two sides instantly erupted.

"Hum..."

Personnel from both sides immediately bent their bows and shot arrows at each other; countless arrows traveled through the void, as if they could cover the sky and block the sun.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Immediately after, a large number of low-rank martial artists held large shields and raised their blades to kill their way up.

The martial artists from both sides collided in an instant, and violent collision sounds resounded through the clouds.

All kinds of shouting, weapon collision sounds, and bone-shattering sounds intertwined; the entire battlefield was filled with rolling dust and smoke, and murderous aura soared to the sky.

The six Tuotai experts from both the government and the heretic cult also dispatched one after another, fighting extremely fiercely near the city gate.

Lu Zhangsheng also found a middle-aged man from the heretic cult in the mid-stage of Blood Exchange, and as his long blade danced, he firmly suppressed the other party.

While "striving" to control his strength to avoid accidentally killing the other party, he carefully observed the entire battlefield.

He also felt somewhat strange in his heart.

This demon witch Zhao Yuanjing had gone to great pains to attack the town, but until this moment, she had not shown any signs of being able to break through this city.

It was clearly somewhat abnormal.

The other party was no fool, coming to let this group of subordinates die.

Just at this moment.

Wei Shaoxuan took action instantly.

He kicked off with his feet and rushed out as fast as lightning; in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Zhao Yuanjing and thrust his sword forward.

Sharp sword light flickered in the void, as if it could pierce through everything.

Zhao Yuanjing was equally unwilling to be outdone; she drew a blood-red long sword and thrust it forward fiercely.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The two collided instantly, and violent collision sounds resounded through the clouds.

Energy splashed wantonly in the surroundings, stirring up layers of smoke and clouds, and even the bricks and stones on the ground were shattered by the aftermath of their exchange.

After one strike.

Both of them retreated several meters, landing steadily on the ground.

In their first probe, the two fought to a draw.

Lu Zhangsheng watched the scene of the two exchanging blows, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

This demon witch clearly had demon blood essence in her body; she was still hiding her strength.

If her strength erupted, it might even be above Wei Shaoxuan's.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Following this, Zhao Yuanjing and the other rushed toward each other again, engaging in fierce combat.

Snow-white sword light shuttled through the void, and a radius of more than ten meters turned into an ocean of sword Qi; it was extremely astonishing.

Many martial artists nearby fled to the surroundings with faces full of terror.

This kind of strength was already not far from an Innate martial artist; she was worthy of being one of the strongest people in the entire Changping County.

Lu Zhangsheng also watched the two exchanging blows with a solemn face.

This kind of strength was still a bit short even for himself; experts at the perfection of Tuotai truly could not be underestimated.

Not to mention that these two were likely the most top-tier figures among Tuotai experts.

When the two swung their swords, their moves seemed to carry some kind of inexplicable momentum.

There was a faint feeling of drawing upon the power of heaven and earth, making Lu Zhangsheng quite vigilant.

"Is this Martial Dao True Intent?"

A thought flickered in Lu Zhangsheng's heart.

It was rumored that for a martial artist to break through to the Innate Realm, Martial Dao True Intent was indispensable.

Only by using an extremely powerful Martial Dao True Intent to break the bridge of heaven and earth and draw spiritual energy to irrigate the body could one become an Innate martial artist and possess a long lifespan.

Of course, there was another possibility for breakthrough, which was taking an "Innate Pill," but because this lacked Martial Dao True Intent and relied on external force for the breakthrough, the strength would also be much weaker.

Lu Zhangsheng naturally would not use pills; he only needed a large amount of Source Energy Points to pile it up all the way, which would be a perfect breakthrough.

Lu Zhangsheng also did not expect that these two had actually begun to comprehend Martial Dao True Intent; they were indeed not comparable to others.

Presumably, the other few Deputy Hall Masters were about the same, as well as the few experts of the Black Mountain Bandits.

These people were the strongest combat power in Changping County.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The forces of both sides fought endlessly at the city gate, and bursts of murderous aura intertwined, making even the scorching sun in the high sky appear somewhat dim.

This battle continued until evening, when the shouting finally gradually ceased.

"Boom..."

Zhao Yuanjing thrust her sword toward the tip of Wei Shaoxuan's sword, and a counter-shock force suddenly struck.

Borrowing this force, her entire body flashed, and then she retreated rapidly, extremely gracefully.

"Retreat."

Seeing this, the many heretic cult experts retreated toward the rear, like a tide.

They soon disappeared from the battlefield, leaving behind countless corpses and wreckage on the ground.

A large amount of fresh blood stained the bricks and stones of the entire ground red.

Bursts of bloody scent permeated the entire battlefield.

"We won, we won..."

A group of martial artists cheered one after another, with great momentum.

Everyone had once again worked together to repel that group of heretic cultists.

Lu Zhangsheng stared at Zhao Yuanjing's departing figure, his eyes flickering.

This battle was quite easy, giving him a strange feeling.

The other side had attacked for so long without any progress; he did not believe there was no conspiracy.

"Is Patrol Envoy Lu suspecting something?"

At this moment, Tong Yuhua beside him smiled faintly.

"With Commander Wei's strength, he is capable of blocking this heretic cult Venerable Lord." Lu Zhangsheng smiled noncommittally and did not speak.

Regardless of what conspiracy the other side had, for him, it was nothing more than soldiers coming to block and water coming to cover.

With his own strength, he could also deal with everything.

Time passed slowly.

In a blink of an eye, two months had passed.

Since these days, the forces of both sides had engaged in fierce exchanges in Fulong Town, and a large number of experts had fallen one after another.

However, under Wei Shaoxuan's leadership, the government martial artists had firmly guarded this town.

Making it difficult for that group of heretic cult demons to cross the thunder pool by even a step.

This day, around noon.

Experts from both sides gathered near the city wall, and following the orders of the leaders on both sides, the great battle erupted again as usual.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Endless murderous aura shot straight into the clouds, and the entire battlefield was filled with all kinds of shouting and weapon collision sounds.

A large number of experts fought endlessly on the edge of the city wall, continuing until evening.

According to custom, just when many government martial artists thought the other side was about to retreat, a sudden change occurred.

Zhao Yuanjing, who was fighting Wei Shaoxuan near the jungle ahead, suddenly erupted with a powerful blood-fiend aura.

Her face was instantly covered in snow-white patterns, her pair of eyes were extremely bloodshot, and a snow-white fox tail grew out at her waist.

The momentum of her entire body was climbing step by step, as if there was no limit.

"Demonic Transformation?"

Seeing this situation, cold light flickered in Lu Zhangsheng's eyes.

The other party's demonic transformation was extremely complete, as if she were about to turn into a real demon.

It was completely incomparable to those few Protectors from last time.

And after the other party became demonized, Lu Zhangsheng sensed a powerful sense of threat.

"Is the other party a demon?"

The many martial artists on the city wall all looked at the Venerable Lord with faces full of terror.

This aura was too terrifying, making people unable to muster any intention to resist.

Even Tong Yuhua and the others were vigilant, their bodies trembling slightly.

That feeling of being stared at by a natural enemy made people's hearts tremble with fear.

At this moment, the battlefield of the two people ahead had another wave.

"Kill."

Wei Shaoxuan's expression was incomparably cold, and the sword Qi in his hand crisscrossed, as if it could slice through the void as he swung it.

He began to erupt with his utmost strength.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The two fought endlessly near the jungle, and as time passed, Zhao Yuanjing, relying on demonic power, firmly suppressed Wei Shaoxuan.

As the two exchanged blows, the movement became increasingly fierce, and the battlefield gradually moved toward the depths of the jungle.

Many government martial artists on the city wall saw Wei Shaoxuan blocking the demon witch and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They erupted with twelve percent of their strength one after another, firmly blocking the group of heretic cultists ahead outside the city.

Time passed, and it soon reached evening.

Just when many government martial artists thought they had won again today, a roar resounded through the clouds.

"Gong Zhangfeng, what are you doing!"

A man in black from the government looked at Gong Zhangfeng with a face full of terror.

It was seen that Gong Zhangfeng, who had been fighting the heretic cult protector, suddenly turned his spear around and slashed fiercely at the government expert at the late Tuotai stage next to him.

Gong Zhangfeng's face was still covered in blood-colored patterns, and the evil Qi around his body had greatly increased.

Under the pincer attack of the two, the government man at the late Tuotai stage could not dodge in time and had his chest pierced through by a pitch-black sharp claw.

The man looked at Gong Zhangfeng with a face full of disbelief.

"You are... a demon..."

Subsequently, this late Tuotai stage expert slowly fell backward, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"Not good, Gong Zhangfeng is a traitor."

A large number of martial artists looked at Gong Zhangfeng with faces full of anger.

This person had simply hidden too deeply, concealing himself in the Demon-Suppressing Division for decades; his sudden eruption today was something no one had ever expected.

Many City Guard soldiers on the city wall were also full of despair; if the city fell, the tens of thousands of commoners inside would all die without a whole corpse.

"Kill."

Gong Zhangfeng led a group of heretic cult protectors and charged toward the many government Tuotai experts.

The baleful aura rolled like smoke, making people incomparably terrified.

"The situation has changed, quickly go to the county city to bring reinforcements!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man in yellow robes shouted loudly.

The resounding voice echoed throughout the entire scene.

This person was also a mid-Tuotai stage expert within the Demon-Suppressing Division.

"Whoosh..."

Upon hearing this, everyone rushed in all directions, like birds startled by the bow.

"Don't worry about the city for now, first kill all these government experts..."

Killing intent erupted in the eyes of several heretic cult protectors.

For them, being able to kill more government experts would reduce some pressure on the day of the decisive battle.

A large number of heretic cult experts also rushed toward the many government martial artists, and baleful aura permeated the entire battlefield.

As early as when Gong Zhangfeng suddenly launched his attack, Lu Zhangsheng had already discovered the abnormality.

"Quickly follow."

He directly led Yue Shulan and the others and rushed toward the side battlefield.

Tong Yuhua, Yue Shulan, and the others did not dare to be negligent and immediately followed closely behind him.

Seeing someone blocking the way ahead, Lu Zhangsheng swung his blade several times in succession, cleanly and neatly beheading the person blocking the path, then led the group out of the battlefield, and then everyone arrived in a small forest.

Yue Shulan and the others looked at Lu Zhangsheng with faces full of surprise, and their hearts were even more filled with awe.

Among the heretic cultists blocking the way just now, there were also late Blood Exchange stage experts, yet they couldn't even block a single blade strike from Lu Zhangsheng.

Yue Shulan and the others couldn't even imagine to what extent the other party's strength had reached.

"It is safe here for the time being, let us disperse and flee back to the county city."

Lu Zhangsheng's expression was as calm as water.

Next, he planned to start executing his plan.

Those four protectors who had surrounded and killed him must die today.

"Everyone, take care."

Tong Yuhua nodded solemnly.

Then she turned around and quickly rushed toward the rear, disappearing into the jungle in the blink of an eye.

Yue Shulan and the others also said their goodbyes and scattered in all directions; soon, only Lu Zhangsheng remained on the scene.

Seeing that the few had already gone far away.

Lu Zhangsheng immediately began to circulate the Bone Shrinking Art.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

The bones and muscles all over his body changed violently, and soon he transformed into a man with a slender figure.

The mysterious strongman Ye Chen was online once again.

Next, Lu Zhangsheng kicked off with his feet and chased in the direction of the four protectors.

With a few flashes, he disappeared from sight.

Half an hour later.

Yue Shulan, Xiao Chao, and others were surrounded by many experts in an open space.

Not far ahead, the four mid-Tuotai stage protectors were also fighting with four government Tuotai experts, the movements extremely intense.

"That group of heretic cultists had long been prepared, and they have laid a net in all directions; we cannot escape..."

Yue Shulan's tone was somewhat desperate.

"I wonder how Lord Lu is doing?"

Xiao Chao's eyes were full of gravity.

"Presumably, with Patrol Envoy Lu's strength, he must have broken through the encirclement."

Tong Yuhua gritted her teeth, her face full of unwillingness.

If nothing unexpected happened, it would be difficult for them to break out, and if things went poorly, they would all fall here.

"Those few Tuotai experts are also in danger; once that traitor Gong Zhangfeng arrives, they will not escape this disaster, and they will all die then."

Her tone was extremely grim.

The many government martial artists surrounded on the field were all full of despair.

Just at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

"Whoosh..."

An extremely bright blade light flashed from the distant horizon, instantly penetrating the center of the battlefield and Yu Zhangyuan's neck.

"You..."

Yu Zhangyuan clutched his neck and fell toward the ground with a face full of disbelief.

At this time, a man in green clothes walked out from the end of the blade light, the long blade in his hand still dripping with blood.

"It is Lord Ye, we are saved..."

Everyone on the field saw this and was full of shock.

They began to cheer one after another, the momentum shaking the heavens.

Tong Yuhua and the others felt even more monstrous waves in their hearts.

Beheading a mid-Tuotai stage expert with one blade was simply terrifying to the extreme.

This kind of strength was absolutely that of a strongman in the entire Changping County.

The remaining three protectors also looked at Lu Zhangsheng with faces full of terror.

They did not expect that in such a short time, the other party's strength would actually skyrocket again.

Yu Zhangyuan hadn't even been able to block a single blade strike; although this was the result of the other party's sneak attack, it was enough to prove the terror of the other party's strength.

"Run quickly, this person is not someone we can resist, immediately ask the Venerable Lord to take action."

The three had long since been scared out of their wits and fled toward the rear one after another.
