The Centurion's head suddenly exploded.

His body still maintained the posture of sitting with his waist lowered and holding a sword with both hands extended forward.

The next moment, the soldiers saw Su Que's figure suddenly solidify and become visible, landing beside the Centurion.

"If you don't want to die, hand over the signal cannons."

Su Que stood firm and said calmly.

Hearing Su Que's words, the soldiers who were about to activate the signal cannon immediately hesitated.

In the moments of hesitation of these soldiers.

Su Que suddenly urged the Myriad Poison True Qi.

A dark purple poisonous gas seemed to explode around him, and in an instant, it spread around him.

Soon, the area within five steps of him was enveloped in a cloud of purple mist.

The soldiers within five steps of him inhaled his Myriad Poison True Qi and immediately their bodies trembled.

Their facial blood vessels turned black, each one protruded, their eyes widened, and their whole bodies convulsed uncontrollably.

Their lives were rapidly fading.

Not only did he want to kill the soldiers preparing the signal cannon, but Su Que didn't intend to leave any of the soldiers here!

These soldiers had all seen him in action.

They had witnessed his speed and combat style.

These soldiers couldn't reveal his identity, but they would spread the word about his explosive speed, strength, body technique, combat style, and other details.

In the same way as killing Zhong Hengchuan, if he had used fifty moves.

The top masters of Jiannan Prefecture City, like Li Tunshan, Gui Risheng, Shenlou, and others, while thinking he was formidable, would not consider him a significant threat.

Because killing Zhong Hengchuan in fifty moves only made him slightly superior to Zhong Hengchuan.

These top masters wouldn't regard him as an opponent.

However, if these soldiers spread the word that he had killed Zhong Hengchuan in an instant.

These masters would take him extremely seriously.

If he really faced these top masters one day, they would approach him cautiously even before the fight.

If his body technique speed, combat style, etc., reached these masters' ears.

These masters would plan tactics against him in advance based on the information.

Thus, these masters would be prepared, and he wouldn't be able to use a surprise attack in a confrontation with them.

Moreover, whether joining the Thunderbolt Army or joining sects like the Zaiyang Sect and White Lotus Sect.

It is equivalent to entering the slaughterfield.

Either you kill me, or I kill you; it depends on who is stronger or weaker.

Su Que slightly opened his hands, and Myriad Poison True Qi spurted out from the four meridians in his hands.

He flew towards the other soldiers while urging the Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi.

Under the urging of Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi, Myriad Poison True Qi expanded again, reaching a range of ten steps!

More soldiers, horses, and war-dogs were affected, their bodies trembled, and their speed of running away slowed down instantly.

The soldiers who had previously inhaled Myriad Poison True Qi, one by one, fell weakly to the ground.

'Celestial Deformed Divine Skill True Qi!'

As Su Que flew forward, he activated True Qi again.

Immediately, Myriad Poison True Qi burst forth, expanding to fourteen steps away!

The retreating soldiers were like people trying to hide from a tsunami, attempting to escape the invasion of Myriad Poison True Qi.

However, Su Que's body technique speed was faster than theirs.

No matter how they flew, they still entered the range of Myriad Poison True Qi.

Humans, horses, all fell one by one, with sounds echoing continuously, and the forest dust rose everywhere.

At the same time, several trees, touched by Myriad Poison True Qi, withered and blackened visibly.

Before long, they toppled down, pressing upon the corpses of those soldiers and horses.

The soldiers holding bows and arrows and crossbows were terrified, retreating while shooting arrows at Su Que.

But Su Que didn't dodge, and the arrows were blocked by his Protective Poisonous Miasma one by one.

Then, as Su Que flew, he released all the True Qi in his body in succession!

Immediately, his clothes billowed, and Myriad Poison True Qi suddenly expanded, spreading to twenty steps away.

More trees were corroded by Myriad Poison True Qi, crashing to the ground, dust rolling in the forest.

More soldiers also entered the range of his Myriad Poison True Qi.

"Click, click" sounds echoed, as soldiers and horses fell one after another.

Soon, none of the soldiers or horses were left standing in the forest.

Seeing this situation, Su Que stopped his flying steps, a thought flashed in his mind.

'Retract!'

In an instant, all True Qi was retracted at once!

The Myriad Poison True Qi, which had expanded to twenty steps away, immediately surged back into his clothes like a whale absorbing water.

In just a moment, it was retracted into his body.

After the Myriad Poison True Qi retreated, he looked at the ground and saw corpses everywhere.

The bodies of people, horses, and dogs were intertwined.

The broken trees and these corpses mingled together.

The scattered dried leaves piled upon the trees and corpses.

Su Que looked at this scene, shook his head, and thought:

'What's the use of practicing martial arts for you all.'

'With such weak martial arts, going to the army, encountering a strong person will only lead to death.'

'Your lifespan might not even be as long as most ordinary people...'

A multitude of thoughts ran through his mind, and his feet moved swiftly.

He flew through the forest, occasionally pausing, quickly searching the bodies of the soldiers.

If someone else were here, they would see a black shadow pausing, flying, pausing, flying in the forest...

After a thorough search, Su Que found five signal cannons and more than two thousand taels of Silver Coins.

Logically, these soldiers are martial artistes, so they should have considerable Silver Coins.

He could only find this much Silver Coins on over three hundred soldiers.

This means that these soldiers didn't carry all their Silver Coins with them.

Probably, these soldiers didn't expect that they would lose their lives on a simple search mission.

After collecting everything into a bundle, Su Que flew through the forest again.

As he flew, he punched the tree trunks on the corpses.

The first punch was imbued with Seven Injuries Fist Force.

With the urging of Fist Force, the tree trunk covering the corpses was immediately shattered into wood shavings, piling upon the corpses.

The following punches carried Red Fiend True Qi.

After a few punches, small flames ignited upon the wood shavings.

Soon after, the autumn wind blew, and the flames suddenly intensified, spreading across the wood shavings.

Before long, a raging fire blazed.

Su Que glanced at the cave where the body of Lu Sheng and others burned.

His figure moved, returning swiftly.

He wanted to watch Lu Sheng's body burn completely before leaving.

Though he had killed so many since leaving that cave.

However, he acted extremely fast, even when counting searching corpses and setting fires, all these activities didn't take the time of one incense stick.

At this moment, Lu Sheng's body might not be entirely burnt.

Upon returning to the cave, he saw that the four bodies of the Zaiyang Sect believers had their flesh and blood completely burned away, but the bones were not yet fully reduced to ashes.

Su Que waited a while longer until the bones were completely reduced to ashes, then performed Celestial Deformed Foot to extinguish the remaining fire.

Then scattered the ashes.

Looking around to ensure nothing was missed, he left the cave.

...

Outside Jiannan Prefecture City, in another forest.

Ou Haofeng rode on horseback, moving slowly through the woodland.

He waited for the Centurions nearby to report to him one by one.

Because he was a trusted aide of Li Tunshan, he was given charge of this thousand-men army, and assigned the most war-dogs, a full hundred.

His ten Centurions commanded their subordinates to release war-dogs everywhere, letting them search in the forests and caves.

Because of the number of war-dogs, the search efficiency was quite high.

However, that day after the army's search.

The war-dogs only brought back some severed hands, skulls, and a few bags of Silver Coins hidden underground.

He presumed these were some leftovers by nearby bandits or criminals.

Yet, as for clues about Lu Sheng, not even the slightest trace was found.

"Boss, the war-dogs discovered some items!"

While Ou Haofeng was thinking, suddenly, a Centurion under his command ran over, carrying a bundle.

"The war-dogs brought this over, and there are notable items inside!"

The Centurion said as he opened the bundle.

Inside were two Tight Back Head Down Crossbows, a steel mechanical arm, and a back mechanism.
