Starting as The Young Master of A Pharmacy, He Trained Swordsmanship in Seclusion For Twenty Years - Chapter 135

Seeking death!

Even if he was currently injured, he was not someone that these Muscle Refining Realm ants could afford to provoke.

Without a second word, Zhang Qi’s figure surged forward. His hands tightened into eagle-like claws, carrying a fierce and sharp momentum as he struck out towards the several constables.

The aura of a Marrow Refining Realm martial artist erupted from Zhang Qi’s body!

Seeing this, the constables panicked, trying to draw the swords from their waists to resist Zhang Qi’s assault.

“Ah!”

Successive miserable screams rang out. Deep, bone-exposing claw marks appeared on the chests of the three constables, and they fell to the ground, howling in agony.

Hmph!
These useless trash!
Zhang Qi had struck heavily for no other reason than that these men were all Su Quanchuan’s trusted lackeys.

In ordinary times, they had helped Su Quanchuan carry out who knows how many dirty and despicable deeds.

Of course, the main reason was simply that Zhang Qi disliked anyone associated with Su Quanchuan. This was just a lesson.

By leaving them with their miserable lives, Zhang Qi felt he was being exceptionally merciful.

Seeing these men fallen and powerless to resist, Zhang Qi turned around and spoke.

“Lord Enforcer…”

But before Zhang Qi could finish his sentence, he realized Lu Xuan’s figure had already vanished without a trace.

The Lu Xuan whom Zhang Qi wanted to find had already arrived within Su Quanchuan’s courtyard.

“The aura of the Purifying White Lotus Sect?”

“Traces of the Purifying White Lotus Sect actually exist here!”

Lu Xuan looked at the room ahead, an invisible power churning around him until it formed waves of crimson-colored Gang Energy.

The originally cool and comfortable air within the courtyard suddenly became unbearably hot and dry.

Inside the room, Su Quanchuan sat with his eyes closed on the training platform. Faint wisps of white vapor could be seen steaming from his body.

The next moment, Su Quanchuan opened his eyes, a trace of bizarre white light flashing within his pupils.

He himself was completely unaware of this change.

At this moment, the corners of Su Quanchuan’s mouth turned upwards. Feeling the boiling, turbulent power of his blood and qi within his body, he was ecstatic.

“Heh heh heh!”

“That man truly did not deceive me.”

“It’s true!”

“It’s actually true!”

“Blood Refining Realm!”

“I never imagined that one day, I too could step into this powerful realm!”

Su Quanchuan’s ambition swelled boundlessly at this moment, as if the entire world was within his grasp.

Originally, Su Quanchuan had planned to consume this Blood Lotus after the Enforcer from the Prefectural Black Tortoise Guard had left.

But the temptation of the Blood Refining Realm was something Su Quanchuan simply couldn’t resist.

Therefore, just a few hours ago, Su Quanchuan had directly taken out that mysterious Blood Lotus and swallowed it down without the slightest hesitation.

“Damnable Zhang Qi, I am the master of Lanshan County!”

“How dare you look down on me! I will definitely make you pay!”

If someone familiar with him were present, they would certainly notice that Su Quanchuan’s behavior was becoming increasingly strange, bordering on manic.

“Huh!”

“It’s so hot!”

After his frenzied venting of the rage deep in his heart, Su Quanchuan suddenly noticed the temperature in the air felt peculiar!

Strange, it was already night time. The weather should be cool, right?

Why did he feel as if he were inside a scorching hot furnace?

Before Su Quanchuan could puzzle out this question, he suddenly sensed something. In terror, he looked up towards the roof.

A feeling of immense dread, the kind only a martial artist of the Blood Refining Realm or above could perceive, gripped Su Quanchuan’s heart.

BOOM!

Under Su Quanchuan’s incredulous gaze, the solid roof was shattered by a massive, crimson, translucent hand.

Immediately after, that hand, which seemed to blot out the sky, tore through the roof as if it were crumbling dry rot.

Then, without slowing down in the slightest, the crimson giant hand reached directly for Su Quanchuan.

Under Su Quanchuan’s terrified gaze, the crimson giant hand grabbed him and hurled him straight towards the door.

CRASH!

The door was smashed apart by the tremendous impact force. Su Quanchuan’s body tumbled out and landed heavily on the ground of the courtyard.

Gritting his teeth against the severe pain, Su Quanchuan, lying prone on the ground, trembled slightly.

What happened!
What in the world just happened!

This……

What is this thing!
Su Quanchuan was scared. He was utterly terrified now!
That mysterious, sky-blotting giant hand had completely shattered his inflated ambition.

All the imposing manner he had gained from breaking through to the Blood Refining Realm was gone.

He didn’t dare anymore. He didn’t dare act arrogantly ever again!

As Su Quanchuan lay on the ground, questioning his life, a sound broke the silence.

Tap, tap, tap!

Several light footsteps sounded. A pair of black brocade boots appeared before Su Quanchuan’s eyes.

This sudden development made Su Quanchuan clench his teeth and use all his strength to lift his head, looking up at the person standing before him.

It was a young man he had never seen before!

The young man’s face showed no emotion whatsoever; he merely looked down at Su Quanchuan with indifference.

Su Quanchuan’s face was full of suspicion and wariness as he stared at the unfamiliar young man.

“You… Who are you!”

“Where are the men outside?”

“How did you get in!”

Su Quanchuan remembered clearly that he had posted guards at the entrance. How could this unfamiliar young man have just walked in?

At that moment, a figure rushed into the courtyard at high speed from outside the gate. It was Zhang Qi.

He had also witnessed the crimson translucent giant hand just now.

Naturally, Zhang Qi knew who was responsible for this mythical feat.

So Lord Enforcer had already arrived in the courtyard a step ahead of him.

Zhang Qi quickly moved to stand beside Lu Xuan. Seeing Su Quanchuan’s wretched state, he spoke loudly, his tone dripping with schadenfreude.

“Su Quanchuan!”

“Lord Enforcer already knows everything you’ve done.”

“Surrender quietly, or don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Seeing Zhang Qi, Su Quanchuan ignored the pain of his injuries.

He pushed hard against the ground with his hands, propelling his body upward in a springing motion until he steadied his footing.

“Zhang Qi!”

Lord Enforcer?

“Lord Enforcer, this is Su Quanchuan, the County Magistrate of Lanshan County!”

Zhang Qi stood beside Lu Xuan, his attitude both respectful and sincere.

“You… are the Enforcer!”

Lu Xuan completely ignored Su Quanchuan’s shock and spoke directly, his voice cold and devoid of any emotion.

“Tell this Enforcer, where is the member of the Purifying White Lotus Sect!”

Two exclamations of surprise sounded simultaneously, one from Su Quanchuan and the other from Zhang Qi.

“The Purifying White Lotus Sect!”

“The Purifying White Lotus Sect!”

In that instant, Zhang Qi’s eyes filled with glee.

You old fool, Su Quanchuan! You actually have ties with the Purifying White Lotus Sect!
Who would have thought!
Ha ha ha ha ha!

Originally, Su Quanchuan was only guilty of dereliction of duty.

But now, with his involvement with the Purifying White Lotus Sect, he had committed an unforgivable capital crime!

There was no room for argument, because within the Great Xia Empire, the Purifying White Lotus Sect was a target to be eliminated on sight.

The primary duty of the Black Tortoise Guard was to hunt down members of the Purifying White Lotus Sect.

They would pursue them to the ends of the earth, sparing no effort!
