Today.

Is the day Wang Xiaoqiang's army sets out.

The Huang Ce Faction sent six martial officials to Liu Jingtun to see him off. These six officials happened to be those who were dissatisfied with Wang Xiaoqiang. Firstly, they felt that Wang Xiaoqiang's promotion to Grand Marshal of Soldiers and Horses blocked their opportunities for advancement and stole their limelight.

Furthermore, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't toast them individually at his wedding banquet, neglecting them, which made them quite displeased.

Now, taking this opportunity, they couldn't resist mocking Wang Xiaoqiang a few times.

After drinking the farewell wine, they started to say some things. Although on the surface they seemed like words of blessing, there was a sarcastic tone to them.

A chubby, round-faced official, with the face of a smiling tiger, spoke with a fake smile, "General Wang's divine skills are peerless. This expedition will surely be a triumph. Here's a toast to General Wang... wishing General Wang immediate success."

"Immediate success? That's a bit too easy, isn't it? Those loose cultivators aren't pushovers. They're all ruthless killers. A few years ago, His Majesty sent a general to round them up; what happened? He never came back... I hope General Wang won't follow in his footsteps. Haha, I'm just joking..." said a long donkey-faced official, adding a cold laugh. The sarcasm was even thicker.

"Makes sense. One must know there are people beyond people, skies beyond skies. Excessive pride will eventually lead to downfall." An elderly martial official concluded, staring intently at Wang Xiaoqiang.

...

Wang Xiaoqiang wasn't foolish. He had already heard that the reason Huang Ce sent him on a mission to eliminate the loose cultivators was thanks to these officials. These officials had frequently impeached him behind the scenes.

These incompetent officials only knew how to abuse their power in peacetime, but when the country faced trouble, they became ostriches. When Ann Guochu rebelled, they all shirked responsibility but repeatedly recommended Wang Xiaoqiang. Now that Wang Xiaoqiang has returned with merit, they again impeach him, fawning shamelessly, discarding the donkey after it's unloaded... It's utterly despicable!

If it were up to Wang Xiaoqiang's temperament, these people should be killed on the spot.

Moreover, now, even though these officials came to see him off, their faces were repugnant and their words abominable. How could Wang Xiaoqiang endure it?

Although they are empire officials, hurting them without reason would be like openly defying Huang Ce. However, not killing them but giving them a little lesson isn't a problem.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes turned cold, and he said, "Gentlemen, if you have something to say, just say it. It's fine. I dislike whispering behind people's backs, unlike some people who love to talk bad behind others' backs, vile beings..."

As soon as Wang Xiaoqiang said this, a martial official suddenly stood up, pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang, and said, "General Wang, who are you talking about? Who are you calling a vile being?!"

"Exactly, are you trying to insult us indirectly here?! We don't take kindly to sand in our eyes."

"How rude, we're kindly seeing you off, and he, he actually cursed us. So uncultured!"

A group of officials started criticizing Wang Xiaoqiang one after another, their words filled with anger, seemingly about to start berating Wang Xiaoqiang.

They think they're empire officials and that Wang Xiaoqiang wouldn't dare touch them, so they become fearless.

At this point, even Wang Xiaoqiang's personal guards couldn't stand it anymore and all drew their Immortal Swords, glaring at the officials.

Wang Xiaoqiang saw these officials becoming more and more despicable, so he sneered, "Hmm, you really think that because you're empire officials, I don't dare touch you? You're overestimating yourselves. To me, Wang Xiaoqiang, you're less than pigs and dogs. Today I'll teach you a lesson, so you don't remain childish forever..."

"What, you, you dare touch us?"

"You, you dare!"

Several officials, all at the Immortal Sage level, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang preparing to act, immediately stood back to back, each summoning their Divine Weapons and preparing defensively.

Wang Xiaoqiang sneered and released the Spirit Fixing Disk, which cast light over the six officials.

Wang Xiaoqiang was now at the One Elephant Realm Stage of the Immortal King, capable of condensing a Thunder Elephant. His comprehensive strength could challenge an Immortal Emperor. Several officials at the Immortal Sage level were no match.

With the rise in Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base, the Spirit Fixing Disk also became more powerful. Under the light, the six officials struggled desperately but couldn't break through the light barrier, every one of them showing extreme anger and some fright on their faces, pointing and cursing at Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Curse all you want, the more you do, the angrier my fire becomes. The angrier I am, the more severe the lesson for you." Wang Xiaoqiang sneered contemptuously, took out the Heaven and Earth Whip, and started lashing at the six officials under the Spirit Fixing Disk.

The six officials, under the vast light screen, couldn't dodge at all, each raising their Soldier Aura Barriers, but they didn't expect Wang Xiaoqiang to add a layer of Elephant Qi to the whip.

Elephant Qi surpasses Soldier Aura.

When their Soldier Aura Barriers were struck, they shattered one by one.

Then, as the whip struck, blood immediately started to flow, and intense pain hit them.

From under the Spirit Fixing Disk came the officials' wailing cries.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang abusing the empire officials, his personal guards felt immensely gratified, though slightly apprehensive as well, as after all, being reprimanded were empire officials. This was no trivial matter.

If it were them, they definitely wouldn't dare touch these officials. Wang Xiaoqiang's boldness won their admiration, to the point of prostrating themselves in service.

These officials, pampered and used to indulgence, had never experienced such harm. Under the intense pain, they couldn't help but let out shrill screams, having no energy left to curse Wang Xiaoqiang further.

Once Wang Xiaoqiang started whipping, he couldn't stop, laughing as he lashed, "Feeling good? Why aren't you cursing? Come on, curse me, the more you do, the more motivated I become to whip you..."

Crack! Crack! Crack-crack-crack!

The whip sped up, each strike faster than the last.

Ah! Ah! Ah...

The officials' cries gradually became weaker, each more miserable than the last. Wang Xiaoqiang said, "If you don't want to suffer, kneel down and beg me. Otherwise, I'll whip you to death today..."

These officials were all spineless, couldn't endure pain, and feared death. So they all knelt down, one by one, speaking in humiliation, "Please, General Wang, spare us."

"Haha, a bunch of useless trash!" Wang Xiaoqiang stopped the whipping, put away the Heaven and Earth Whip, the Spirit Fixing Disk, walked to the several bruised officials, kicked them a few times, and said, "Hurry up and get lost. Go complain about me to His Majesty. I know you love doing this kind of thing. Go on, let me tell you, I fear nothing and no one! Haha..." (To be continued.
