Chapter 135

"Bang, bang, bang..."

A few breaths later, the four old men in green robes blocked Ye Yunze, and the two sides fought fiercely at the edge of the open ground.

Blood-colored runes also appeared on Ye Yunze's face, looking very evil.

The four old men were not to be outdone, their auras linked together, firmly surrounding the other party in the center.

And they were watertight in their attacks, temporarily dragging down this person.

For a time.

The entire battlefield of top experts was divided into two parts.

A group of people fought fiercely on the top of the mountain, and waves of roaring sounds resounded through the clouds.

Time passed slowly, and the night was deep.

Just then, a sudden change occurred.

In the center of the top of the mountain, Wei Shaoxuan was fighting fiercely with Zhao Yuanjing, when he suddenly smiled strangely.

A blood-colored mark rose on his face, and his aura suddenly increased by a section.

Then, he fiercely killed toward He Chunlin on the side; under the sneak attack, blood-evil aura gushed out.

"It's actually you! Why?"

He Chunlin was fighting with Liu Shiqi, and sensing a thick killing intent behind him, his expression changed suddenly.

As early as when Qin Ruobing informed the few of the intelligence, he was somewhat vigilant, but he hadn't expected the traitor to be Wei Shaoxuan.

That this guardian god in the eyes of the commoners would choose to join the Heavenly Demon Sect was somewhat incredulous.

He didn't have time to think and tried his best to dodge sideways.

From Wei Shaoxuan's sudden attack to He Chunlin's dodging, everything happened in an instant.

At this moment, the people in the field reacted, all of them full of shock and anger.

Cold light flickered in Lu Zhangsheng's eyes; even he hadn't expected that the other party would always be hidden in the shadows.

It had likely been a long time.

"Why? I have made great contributions to the Demon-Suppressing Division, but because of injuries, I missed the Innate Dao; so what?"

"The Imperial Court clearly has spiritual medicine, but would rather give it to those dull-witted Imperial Clan children; since the Imperial Court is unjust, then kill..."

Wei Shaoxuan sneered, his face covered with blood-colored stripes.

An evil demon aura permeated the entire field.

While speaking, his attack had already arrived behind He Chunlin.

Liu Shiqi took this opportunity to also strike with all his might, killing toward He Chunlin's face.

With the two joining forces, it had become a must-kill situation.

He Chunlin's expression was somewhat flustered, and he hurriedly swung his blade to block.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The three collided instantly, and sharp energy swept in all directions.

"Ah..."

Under one strike, the weapon in He Chunlin's hand was directly deflected, and a blood light suddenly pierced through his right arm.

Blood sprayed into the void.

He looked at Wei Shaoxuan and the other with fear.

If he hadn't avoided the vital point, he would likely have been finished under the other party's sneak attack.

Everything happened too suddenly.

"Everyone, retreat to the county city immediately."

Qin Ruobing shouted loudly, her face full of frost.

After issuing the order, she also specifically glanced at Lu Zhangsheng.

Her eyes seemed to be hinting at him not to take action forcibly.

"Retreat."

The numerous government martial artists retreated toward the foot of the mountain one after another like a tide.

Lu Zhangsheng's expression shifted slightly, and he also understood the meaning in the other party's eyes.

On the government side, He Chunlin had almost lost his fighting power, and the four old men in green robes couldn't drag it out for long.

Combined with Wei Shaoxuan's strength greatly increasing after swallowing demon essence blood, he himself couldn't kill the other party in a short time.

Dragging it out had too many variables.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhangsheng didn't take action either, but instead operated his footwork and ran toward the foot of the mountain rapidly, as fast as lightning.

"Kill them all."

Zhao Yuanjing was cold and led the numerous heretic cultists to pursue.

"Kill, kill, kill..."

The mountains and plains were full of shouts of killing and wails, and a large number of corpses and blood were mixed together, rolling down from the top of the mountain, the scene extremely bloody.

The group of top experts of the heretic cult also pursued Qin Ruobing and the others.

In a few breaths, they disappeared into the mountain forest.

Less than half a cup of tea time.

Lu Zhangsheng arrived at the foot of Black Mountain and hid in a dense forest.

He looked at the direction Qin Ruobing fled, his expression shifting slightly.

He Chunlin was seriously injured, likely with more misfortune than fortune.

Wei Shaoxuan and Zhao Yuanjing actually pursued Qin Ruobing, making Lu Zhangsheng quite worried.

He didn't think much and immediately performed the Bone Shrinking Art.

Crack, crack, crack...

With a light sound, his figure and facial muscles changed greatly, soon turning into a handsome man.

Two hours later.

Beside a large river.

Lu Zhangsheng stood quietly on the bank, looking at the turbulent river, his expression somewhat gloomy.

He tracked to this place and lost the traces of the few.

Presumably Qin Ruobing jumped into the river to escape in order to avoid pursuit.

This also brought great trouble to his tracking.

This waterway extended in all directions, with many tributaries, and even he found it difficult to quickly find Qin Ruobing's traces.

Lu Zhangsheng had to expand the search range, operate his lightness skill, and rush forward rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared nearby.

At dawn, the sky was slightly white.

Qin Ruobing rushed through the forest, her face somewhat gray.

After a night of fleeing, she still hadn't shaken off the two behind her.

The other party seemed determined not to stop until they killed her.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Qi and blood in her body hadn't been exhausted, she planned to fight to the death.

Subsequently, Qin Ruobing stopped under a big tree, her eyes extremely cold.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle..."

At this moment, two figures walked out from the forest behind, exactly Wei Shaoxuan and Zhao Yuanjing.

"Yo... isn't this the noble Imperial Clan child? Why are you so embarrassed?"

Zhao Yuanjing mocked full of mockery.

Wei Shaoxuan on the side was also full of killing intent.

"You can't escape; no one is coming to save you today."

"Hmph... then come and try?"

Qin Ruobing's tone was cold, her pretty face full of baleful aura.

Her identity was not a secret to some high-level personnel.

However, because she was just a concubine's daughter, she didn't have much cultivation resources in the capital, and was not even as good as some direct descendants of large families.

A few years ago, she came to the frontier of the empire under operation, seeking to accumulate merit and achieve the Innate Martial Dao.

"No need to waste words; immediately kill this bitch, it's also a great merit."

Zhao Yuanjing was grim, killing intent bursting from her eyes.

While speaking, she took action instantly, killing toward Qin Ruobing, her momentum fierce and peerless.

Wei Shaoxuan also killed up, presenting a pincer attack from left and right.

"Kill."

Qin Ruobing's face was somewhat determined, directly erupting the essence blood in her body, and her aura surged by a section.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

In an instant, the two sides fought fiercely in the forest, and violent energy swept in all directions.

Fallen leaves danced all around, a mess.

Relying on the secret art of erupting essence blood, Qin Ruobing fought one against two and actually held the upper hand.

Wei Shaoxuan and Zhao Yuanjing were quite relaxed, wandering beside Qin Ruobing without colliding with her head-on.

In their view, as long as the other party's essence blood was exhausted, it was a dead end.

They didn't need to take risks either.

As time passed.

Qin Ruobing gradually became strenuous, her face becoming increasingly pale.

Even the aura around her became much weaker.

"This woman is done for; immediately destroy the other party."

Zhao Yuanjing and the other were full of confidence.

Preparing to take action directly to launch the final kill.

The two erupted their weapons with all their might, and sharp auras traveled through the void.

Then they slashed fiercely toward Qin Ruobing.

"Shoo..."

Seeing this, Qin Ruobing spat out a blood-colored sword Qi, slashing toward Zhao Yuanjing and the other ahead, while her weapon slashed forward at the same time.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The two sides collided fiercely, and waves of roaring sounds resounded through the entire forest.

Under one collision, Qin Ruobing was directly knocked flying more than ten meters, a wisp of blood overflowing from her mouth.

Even several big trees behind her were knocked down.

Just then, a white figure rushed rapidly from the mountain forest in the distance.

Before the person arrived, a sharp cold light appeared from the void, killing straight toward Zhao Yuanjing and the other.

In an instant, the blade light arrived before the two, its aura extremely ferocious.

"It's Lu Zhangsheng."

Seeing the person arrive, Qin Ruobing was happy.

With the other party's strength, he was definitely not weaker than the two in front.

Then she couldn't hold on anymore and fell directly to the ground.

"It's that mysterious powerhouse!"

Seeing such astonishing momentum, Zhao Yuanjing and the other's expressions tightened, and their weapons struck forward together.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The three collided suddenly, and the overflowing blade energy swept out, even cutting traces on the ground.

One collision.

Lu Zhangsheng landed steadily on a tree trunk, and Zhao Yuanjing and the other retreated several meters away.

Wei Shaoxuan and Zhao Yuanjing were both shocked.

"This is impossible! Last time we fought, your strength was far from being this astonishing."

Even Zhao Yuanjing hadn't expected that the other party's strength would soar again in a short time.

The two joining forces couldn't even hold the upper hand.

This caused infinite chill to rise in her heart.

The two had fought several times, and every time after, the other party's strength would soar; this was simply too strange.

Lu Zhangsheng ignored the two, his footsteps flashed, and he arrived beside Qin Ruobing, immediately picking her up and rushing toward the rear.

After flashing a few times, he disappeared in front of Zhao Yuanjing and the other.

"Such fast speed."

Cold light appeared in Zhao Yuanjing's eyes; even carrying someone, the other party's speed was above the two.

"When did the government produce such a powerhouse?"

Wei Shaoxuan's face was also somewhat uncertain.

... Lu Zhangsheng held Qin Ruobing's soft body and rushed through the mountains.

His speed was so fast that it formed trails of residual shadows.

Glancing at Qin Ruobing, he found that the other party's state was not optimistic, her internal injuries were quite serious, and her aura had withered a lot.

Lu Zhangsheng didn't dare to delay too much, found a mountain cave, and put her down.

Then he took out some healing spiritual medicine from the panel space, crushed it into juice, and fed it to her.

In a daze, Qin Ruobing felt some sweet spiritual medicine juice being fed to her lips, making the pain in her body gradually decrease.

She didn't hesitate and swallowed it in large gulps.

One day later, evening.

Qin Ruobing woke up leisurely.

Looking at Lu Zhangsheng sitting cross-legged in front of the cave entrance, her expression was somewhat complex.

She also had some impression of her state before being injured.

The heat from the other party's chest seemed to linger, causing ripples in her heart.

Thinking of Lu Zhangsheng rising from under her hand all the way, and now having a powerhouse demeanor, she felt very gratified.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

Qin Ruobing smiled sweetly, her tone gentle.

"One day."

Lu Zhangsheng answered with a smile.

"Thank you for this time; if you hadn't suddenly arrived, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Qin Ruobing felt lingering fear on her face.

Thinking of Lu Zhangsheng guarding the cave entrance all the way, she also felt a warmth in her heart.

"Your injuries are quite heavy; do you want to stay for another day?"

Lu Zhangsheng's eyes were somewhat grave.

If not treated in time, it might affect future cultivation.

"Your spiritual medicine is good, and combined with timely treatment, there is no major problem."

Qin Ruobing waved her hand with a smile.

"I'm a bit worried about the county city; the other party racked their brains, and there must be a huge plot."

"Then Sister Qin, rest here for a day, and I will return to the county city to investigate."

Lu Zhangsheng said immediately.

He was also a bit worried about the Fang siblings.

But fortunately, they had already built a refuge at home, so it shouldn't be difficult to hold on for a few days.

"That's good, be careful on your way there."

Qin Ruobing nodded with a grave expression.

Subsequently, Lu Zhangsheng stood up and walked toward the outside of the cave.

After leaving the cave, he operated his lightness skill and rushed rapidly through the mountain forest.

The next day, afternoon.

Changping County.

The entire county city was full of fire, and everywhere was full of shouts of killing and the sound of weapons colliding.

The Xuanjia Army and a group of men in black were fighting fiercely on the streets.

The ground was full of blood and broken corpses, and the scene was extremely bloody.

The fighting around the County Government Office was the most tragic.

A group of Xuanjia Army soldiers, led by a middle-aged man in white, guarded the County Government Office firmly.

The middle-aged man in white was Tai Shi You, an expert sent by the Imperial Court to protect the County Magistrate.

Tai Shi You looked coldly at the front.

Confronting him was a woman in red, her whole body exuding amazing charm.

After fighting with Lu Zhangsheng, Zhao Yuanjing immediately rushed to the county city.

"Kill."

Zhao Yuanjing issued an order and led the numerous sect members to kill.

She took the lead and met Tai Shi You directly.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Sharp energy swept in all directions; as soon as they fought, Tai Shi You fell into a disadvantage.

No matter how desperately he tried to delay, he couldn't stop the pace of this group of people.

A group of heretic cult powerhouses advanced rapidly toward the rear of the County Government Office.

In the northwest of the County Government Office, Wei Shaoxuan was also fighting with an old man in green robes.

"Wei Shaoxuan, you traitor, the Imperial Court will definitely not let you go."

The old man was full of anger.

As an expert hidden in the shadows to protect the County Magistrate, whenever he appeared, it meant the situation was extremely dangerous.

He and Tai Shi You were exactly one in the light and one in the dark.

Inside the County Government Office main hall.

Du Wentao stood in the main hall, his expression restless.

He hadn't expected the situation to suddenly deteriorate to such a point.

A large group of female family members behind him were also full of panic.

Only Du Ling in the corner smiled strangely.

"Boom..."

Just then, a corpse was suddenly thrown into the main hall, making Du Wentao's expression shocked.

Many female family members were scared out of their wits.

Zhao Yuanjing walked in slowly, her hands still carrying wisps of fresh blood.

She slowly took off her mask, then her face squirmed rapidly, soon turning into a handsome woman.

"You are..."

Du Wentao's eyes widened, full of disbelief.

He hadn't expected the sister he had been looking for for so many years to appear in front of him in this way.

Before he could speak, a blood-stained palm instantly pierced through his chest.

"My dear brother, go on your way with peace of mind; little sister will definitely step to the peak of the Martial Dao and live well for you."

Zhao Yuanjing's tone was gloomy, her expression extremely cold.

That year, for the sake of so-called fame, the other party indirectly caused the death of the entire family, and she would never forget it.

At this moment, there was only killing in her heart.

"Ling'er, kill everyone."

Du Ling licked the corner of her mouth: "Obey your command, Venerable Lord."

While speaking, she rushed toward the crowd rapidly, her eyes full of madness and bloodthirst.

Some female family members were already scared silly, sitting on the ground at a loss.

Soon, waves of screams came from the main hall, and blood and broken corpses were scattered all over the ground.

Du Ling lay on the ground and gnawed quietly, like a ghost.

In the quiet main hall, only the sound of bones breaking remained, making one's hair stand on end.

Then, Zhao Yuanjing groped on Du Wentao for a moment, took out a golden key, and stood up, walking toward the County Government Office treasure vault.

Passing through many passages and pavilions, she arrived in front of a large treasure vault.

After putting in the key, she twisted it gently.

"Boom, boom..."

The treasure vault gate rose slowly.

Zhao Yuanjing took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in her heart.

A long-cherished wish of many years was finally about to come true today, making her feel as if it were a dream.

After stepping into the treasure vault, she took a fancy to the golden Buddha statue in the center at a glance.

The entire Buddha statue was half a person tall, emitting wisps of light.

Zhao Yuanjing immediately walked up, picked up the Buddha statue, and then turned to walk toward the outside of the treasure vault.

She couldn't be bothered with the ordinary treasures inside.

Returning along the original path, just as she arrived at a square outside the County Government Office, a sudden change occurred.

"Where does the Venerable Lord want to go? Please leave the object in your hand."

Su Qilong walked out from the corner with the two leaders, full of mockery.

They had been waiting here for a long time.

"Are you not afraid of the Heavenly Demon Sect settling accounts later?"

Cold light flickered in Zhao Yuanjing's eyes.

Surrounded by the three at this moment, she had to temporarily yield.

Unfortunately, it was of no use.

"Kill."

Su Qilong and the three didn't waste words and immediately killed toward Zhao Yuanjing.

Every move was with full force.

Waves of baleful aura gathered together, stirring the wind and clouds in all directions.

Zhao Yuanjing gritted her teeth and immediately met them.

To let herself give up the object she had worked so hard to get was absolutely impossible.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The four fought fiercely on the open ground, and the bricks and stones on the ground cracked layer by layer.

Dust and smoke rolled all around, a mess.

After just a moment, Zhao Yuanjing fell into a disadvantage.

Just as she was preparing to take the opportunity to escape, a change occurred.

A white light rushed rapidly from the distance, like lightning.

In an instant, it arrived before Zhao Yuanjing.

The sharp blade light slashed fiercely at the Buddha statue in her hand.

The Buddha statue instantly slipped out of her hand and was thrown high into the sky.

The person who took action was exactly Lu Zhangsheng who had rushed over.

"Immediately take action to snatch this object."

Seeing this, Su Qilong and the three immediately rushed toward the front.

Zhao Yuanjing also followed closely behind, full of unwillingness.

But before everyone could react, a light flashed several times, and he arrived before the Buddha statue, then hugged the Buddha statue tightly and rushed forward.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the eyes of the few.

Looking at Lu Zhangsheng's distant figure, Zhao Yuanjing's eyes were full of resentment.

"I swear, I will grind you to dust for the rest of my life."

Her tone was grim, like a ghost from hell.

Years of planning had been done for others, and at this moment, she was already crazy.

Su Qilong and the three didn't want to bother with this crazy woman either and turned to retreat toward the rear.

Lu Zhangsheng rushed rapidly on the roof, splitting a wisp of his mind to carefully sense the abnormality of the Buddha statue.

【Discovered unknown energy source, absorb?】

A crisp prompt sounded.

"Absorb."

Lu Zhangsheng thought silently.

【Source Energy Points +7000.】

Looking at the changes on the panel, Lu Zhangsheng's expression was stunned.

What exactly is this thing? It actually added so many Source Energy Points.

A huge joy surged into his heart.

Open the panel.

Source Energy Points: 10,500.

The plus sign behind the Indestructible Golden Body had already been lit up, and he could improve his cultivation again.

Lu Zhangsheng couldn't wait to rush toward home.
