Chapter 69: City-Wide Sweep!

As a crisp notification sound rang out in his mind, Lu Zhangsheng slowly opened his eyes.

It seemed as if a sharp glint was flashing in his eyes.

This body technique breakthrough allowed his speed to increase by another large margin.

If it could be said that before the breakthrough, his speed could rival some Bone Forging Perfection experts, then after this breakthrough, he had comprehensively surpassed Bone Forging experts and reached a brand-new realm.

Lu Zhangsheng walked quickly into the courtyard and began to verify it.

Swish...

As the body technique was operated, the entire courtyard was full of residual shadows, totaling sixteen, extremely astonishing.

Compared to when it was perfected, there were four more, and the speed was even more ghostly.

"Is this the speed of the Transcendent Realm?"

Lu Zhangsheng's expression was quite happy.

He felt as if the surrounding environment had a hint of rhythm, and every step he took could land on a certain node.

With this body technique at the Transcendent Realm, his safety would also soar by a large margin.

In the future, if he encountered an enemy he couldn't beat, he could also retreat quickly.

For the next few days, he had been testing the body technique until the Demon-Suppressing Division's transfer order came, only then did he stop.

Lu Zhangsheng walked quickly toward the Demon-Suppressing Division Yamen.

By the time he stepped into the main hall, quite a few figures were already standing around.

Qin Ruobing and the three Deputy Hall Masters, Xiao Tianci and others, were also sitting on the high platform.

Lu Zhangsheng walked slowly to Yue Shulan's side and entered the queue.

"Brother Lu, are you alright? Today's matter is likely still related to your encounter with the attack."

Yue Shulan said softly.

"There is no major problem."

Lu Zhangsheng smiled.

He knew Qin Ruobing would definitely take action, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

It had been decided in just a few days.

This also showed that Hall Master Qin still valued him quite a bit.

As time passed, people arrived at the main hall one after another.

Before long, there were already dozens of people.

At this time, Qin Ruobing on the platform said with full majesty:

"A few days ago, you must have all heard about the incident where our Demon-Suppressing Division personnel were attacked on the street."

"Those heretic cultists are truly daring; today I have summoned you all here to properly sweep through the city..."

The people below the platform heard this and looked at Lu Zhangsheng one after another.

Their eyes still carried traces of strangeness.

The other party's astonishing speed was also gradually spreading throughout the entire Demon-Suppressing Division, making quite a few commoner martial artists quite admire him.

To be able to retreat unscathed from the other party's meticulous assassination, this kind of strength was not something everyone could do.

Then Qin Ruobing scanned the entire scene and spoke again: "Everyone present, with the formal Demon-Suppressing Envoys as team leaders, is responsible for sweeping through an area; intelligence will be issued on the mission tokens."

"We obey your command."

The people below the platform shouted in unison.

Afterward, everyone went up one after another to receive their own tokens.

Soon it was Lu Zhangsheng's turn.

He took the token and turned to leave the main hall.

Then he took out the intelligence from the token and observed it carefully.

The area he was responsible for sweeping was exactly the West of the City, and there were three teammates to cooperate with him.

Before long, two men and one woman walked slowly toward Lu Zhangsheng.

The two men were one fat and one thin, both looking relatively young, and the woman had a somewhat delicate and pretty appearance, with a pair of tiger teeth that were quite cute.

Several people were only at the Refining Skin level, clearly having joined the Demon-Suppressing Division not long ago.

"We have met the team leader."

Tian Ziying led the two men and walked up with large strides, saluting with a look of respect.

"No need for formalities; the mission is urgent, so let's set off immediately."

Lu Zhangsheng smiled faintly, not dragging his feet.

Afterward, several people walked quickly toward the West Street.

Along the way, Lu Zhangsheng also learned the names of the two; the thinner one was named Yan Ziqian, and the fatter one was named Yan Ziqiang; the two were biological brothers.

Several people's families all did some small business, which was much better than commoners.

The three walked through the street, their speed extremely fast.

Before long, they arrived in front of a tavern on the West Street.

At this time, there were still quite a few martial artists drinking in the tavern, and some were even acting crazy from alcohol.

Seeing Lu Zhangsheng and the others full of murderous intent, they were all stunned. The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense.

"Are there any misunderstandings for you officials?"

At this time, from the counter in the back, a pot-bellied middle-aged man walked over quickly, wearing a look of flattery.

This person was clearly the manager of this place.

"Misunderstanding?"

Lu Zhangsheng smiled coldly and slashed out with his blade.

A cold glint flashed in the void.

Clatter...

The manager's head rolled to the ground instantly, fresh blood staining a large area red.

Everyone on the scene was stunned instantly.

They did not expect that the Demon-Suppressing Division official would slash the manager without a word; everyone had not yet understood what had happened, and couldn't help but tighten their bodies, full of fear.

Tian Ziying and the others were calm.

The intelligence in their hands also showed that the other party was colluding with the Wenxiang Sect.

Since this middle-aged man was the manager, he was inevitably inseparable from it.

As for killing the wrong person, that was impossible.

The intelligence department of the Demon-Suppressing Division was not for show.

"The Demon-Suppressing Division is handling a case; all unrelated martial artists leave immediately."

After killing the manager, Lu Zhangsheng's cold gaze scanned the entire scene, making the hearts of the surrounding crowd cold.

"We will leave immediately."

The people in the surrounding seats immediately rose to leave, and no one dared to refute a word.

Soon, only Lu Zhangsheng and the others remained on the scene.

"Do you still need this Seat to invite you out?"

Lu Zhangsheng's tone was grim.

He had long been full of anger in his heart; he was determined to kill this group of heretic cultists.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Just as Lu Zhangsheng's voice fell, from deep within the tavern, inside a room, four men in black rushed out.

Several people held long blades, their eyes full of murderous intent.

"The location has been exposed; flee this place immediately."

The leading middle-aged man's pupils shrank the moment he saw Lu Zhangsheng.

He had also received intelligence about Lu Zhangsheng in the sect; the other party already had Bone Forging strength and was definitely not someone a Refining Flesh martial artist like him could withstand.

So he did not choose to fight hard at the first moment, but fled in all directions.

Just as several people were preparing to flee, Lu Zhangsheng moved.

"Clatter..."

Trails of residual shadows shuttled through the space, accompanied by flashing cold glints; the four were instantly slashed into several sections, their corpses scattered all over the ground, fresh blood gushing everywhere, and the surroundings were a complete mess.

In an instant, the four were killed on the spot.

Lu Zhangsheng only used Refining Flesh level strength, coupled with his own speed, to achieve such a terrifying effect.

Outside the tavern, a group of martial artists watching the show were all terrified.

This kind of strength was already beyond their reach.

Tian Ziying and Yan Ziqiang and the others also looked at Lu Zhangsheng with awe.

They had long heard of the other party's title of "Fast Blade," but they did not expect the speed to be so astonishing.

In the blink of an eye, he killed several heretic cultists.

Just now, several people were still worried that someone would break through the encirclement; now it seemed they had worried in vain.

Even they themselves did not have a chance to make a move; their team leader had already finished the work.

Tian Ziying and the others hurriedly went up to clean up the corpse parts on the ground, and after searching out some silver notes, they returned to their original place.

Of course, several people did not dare to take these silver notes and prepared to hand them over to their team leader afterward.

"Go, go to the next stronghold immediately."

To prevent news from leaking, Lu Zhangsheng immediately began the next step of action.

Tian Ziying and the three followed immediately.

Several people left the place under the awe-filled gazes of the surrounding crowd.

For the next few hours.

Lu Zhangsheng had been leading the three to sweep through the Wenxiang Sect strongholds.

A large number of Refining Flesh martial artists were easily killed by Lu Zhangsheng, and almost no one could escape.

With his speed, even if he only used Refining Flesh strength, he could sweep through ordinary martial artists.

Under repeated battles, Tian Ziying and the others became increasingly respectful toward Lu Zhangsheng.
