I am Master Maoshan

Liu Jun walked alone on the bustling streets, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He had just come out of the City Lord's Mansion and refused to follow General Nie Yun and Military Advisor Chu Liuying because he needed some time to think alone. The soldiers and civilians on the street were busy, some were carrying supplies, some were building fortifications, and the whole city was preparing for the upcoming war.

His eyes swept over these busy figures, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. As the newly appointed God King, he shouldered a huge responsibility, which made him feel particularly stressed.

At this moment, several patrolling soldiers stopped him. They obviously did not recognize the new God King, and just routinely asked about his identity and purpose.

"Stop! Who are you? Why are you loitering here?" the leading soldier asked sternly.

"Extreme Fire Army." Liu Jun answered calmly and showed a badge.

This kind of badge is only possessed by the Jihuo Army, and it contains a micro-formation for self-destruction to prevent being captured.

"This is an extraordinary period and everyone must be inspected. Please come with us." The soldier took a look at the badge, unable to confirm its authenticity, so he could only speak cautiously.

Liu Jun nodded without resistance. He followed the soldiers to a temporary checkpoint where there were several other travelers who had been stopped. Liu Jun noticed that most of these travelers were businessmen or refugees, and their faces were full of fatigue and anxiety.

While waiting for inspection, Liu Jun started chatting with one of the businessmen.

"Where are you from?" Liu Jun asked.

The merchant sighed and replied, "We were brought here by the army of the Catholic City. They drove us here to consume the food in Nanjiang City."

Liu Jun frowned slightly and continued to ask: "Catholic City?"

The businessman nodded, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes: "Yes, some who were unwilling were killed by them."

Liu Jun was silent for a moment. He probably knew why the Platinum Divine Realm had suddenly become so powerful, and he also knew who had framed his master's wife Feng Wanqing.

At this moment, the officer at the checkpoint came over and began to question the travelers one by one. When it was Liu Jun's turn, the officer obviously recognized him and his face turned pale instantly.

"Your Majesty!" the officer stammered and then fell to his knees.

When the surrounding soldiers and merchants heard this, they all showed shocked expressions and then knelt down.

Liu Jun waved his hand, signaling them to stand up: "No need to be polite. I just came out for a walk."

The officer said quickly: "Your Majesty, it is very dangerous outside. You should return to the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible."

Liu Jun shook his head: "I know my limits. You guys continue to perform your tasks and don't worry about me."

After saying that, Liu Jun turned and left the checkpoint, continuing to stroll on the street.

As night fell, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased. Liu Jun walked to a high ground and overlooked the entire city. In the dim lights, he seemed to see the future of this country.

"I can't take this loss for nothing." Liu Jun whispered to himself, "No matter who it is, I have to pay it back."

At this moment, a light sound of footsteps came from behind him. Liu Jun did not turn around, but said lightly: "Come out, you have been with me until now, are you tired?"

Several figures walked out from the shadows. The aura of these people was very strong, and they were obviously strong men at the half-step God King level.

"Take action!" The leading man in black waved his hand, and several men in black rushed towards Liu Jun instantly.

"Come on, don't you have any opening remarks? That's not how it's played in TV dramas." Liu Jun cursed inwardly and raised his hand to shoot out several cold rays of light.

Although the cold light was fast, it was easy for the men in black to dodge it. At the same time, they quickly dispersed and formed an encirclement, trapping Liu Jun in the center.

Liu Jun frowned slightly, secretly alert in his heart. He knew that these men in black were not ordinary people, each of them had the strength of a half-step God King. If he was not careful, he might fall into an irretrievable situation.

"It seems that you are determined to take my life." Liu Jun sneered, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

The leading black-clad man said coldly: "Nonsense, if I'm not trying to kill you, then am I kidding you?"

"Fuck you, you speak more harshly than me. Come on, if I give in, I'll be your grandfather," Liu Jun shouted.

The leading black-clad man said no more, and swung his sword, the sword light was like a rainbow, and went straight to Liu Jun's throat. Several other black-clad men also attacked, the sword light and shadow, instantly covering Liu Jun.

Liu Jun dodged the fatal blow from the leading man in black. At the same time, a cold light flashed in his hand, and several sword energies broke through the air and headed straight for the other men in black.

However, these men in black were clearly prepared, and they moved like ghosts, easily avoiding Liu Jun's attacks. They worked in perfect harmony, and their attacks were fierce, forcing Liu Jun to retreat step by step.

"We can't delay any longer. Nie Yun and the others will come to support me soon. What should I do if they steal my heads?" Liu Jun thought to himself. He then took a deep breath, and the spiritual power in his body circulated wildly, and the aura around him suddenly surged.

"Come, I'll show you something fun!" Liu Jun shouted, and he formed seals with his hands. A huge vortex of spiritual power condensed behind him.

The man in black's face changed slightly when he saw this. The intelligence said that Liu Jun was at the peak of the Lord God level and was not yet at the Half-Step God King level. However, the fluctuation of his spiritual power was far beyond that of an average Half-Step God King early stage warrior.

"Come on together, don't give him a chance!" The leading black-clothed man shouted sternly. Several black-clothed men attacked at the same time, swords and knives came out, and spiritual power surged, rushing straight towards Liu Jun.

Liu Jun sneered and suddenly pushed out his hands. A vortex of spiritual energy instantly exploded, transforming into countless sharp sword energies, shooting in all directions.

"boom!"

The sword energy collided with the black-clothed man's attack, and a thunderous sound shook the earth. Smoke and dust rose up, and the whole space seemed to be shaking.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Liu Jun stood there with a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he was also injured in the collision. The men in black were forced back several steps by the sword energy, and they also had several more wounds on their bodies.

"As expected of the new God King, you are quite capable." The leading black-clothed man said coldly, "But do you think you can escape this way?"

Liu Jun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Escape? There is no such word as escape in my dictionary. But you, if you don't show some real skills, your relatives and friends will visit your graves on this day next year."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the black-clothed man's eyes, and he was obviously angered by Liu Jun's words. He growled, and spiritual power gushed out of his body. The long sword in his hand instantly turned into a huge sword shadow, slashing down at Liu Jun.

A trace of solemnity flashed across Liu Jun's eyes. He knew that this blow was of great power. If he couldn't take it, he would be seriously injured if not dead. But, was it possible that he couldn't take it?

Liu Jun took a deep breath, and the spiritual power in his body circulated wildly. He formed seals with his hands, and a huge spiritual power barrier condensed in front of him.

"boom!"

The sword shadow collided with the spiritual barrier, and a loud noise shook the earth. Liu Jun felt a huge force rushing at him, and he took several steps back. The black-clothed man at the head was even more shocked by the powerful shock wave and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground.

The leading man in black stood up with difficulty, spurting blood from his mouth, obviously seriously injured.

"It seems that I still underestimated you." The leading man in black smiled bitterly.

"It doesn't matter whether you underestimate me or not. You can't leave anyway. You might as well fight to the death. Maybe you can kill me," Liu Jun said with narrowed eyes.

A gleam of determination flashed in the eyes of the leading man in black. He knew that if he didn't fight hard, he might not have any chance.

He took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy in his body circulated wildly. The aura around him surged again, and the whole person seemed to turn into a sharp sword, rushing straight into the sky. Obviously, this was a truly powerful killing move.

"This is quite interesting!" Liu Jun shouted, and his whole body turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the man in black, with the spiritual power in his body surging wildly.

The man in black's face changed drastically when he saw this. He obviously didn't expect that Liu Jun, the new God King, would fight so desperately.

"Retreat quickly!" the leading man in black shouted sternly.

However, it was too late. Liu Jun was as fast as lightning, and he rushed in front of a man in black in an instant. The dark sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and a sharp sword energy went straight to the throat of the man in black.

"puff!"

The sword energy penetrated the throat of the man in black, and blood gushed out. The man in black widened his eyes, obviously not expecting that he, a half-step God King, would die so easily in Liu Jun's hands.

Seeing this, the other men in black retreated one after another, their eyes filled with fear.

Liu Jun sneered, flashed, and rushed towards the other man in black again.

"boom!"

There was another loud bang, and Liu Jun and the man in black collided with each other, erupting with earth-shaking force.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Liu Jun stood there, his body covered in blood, obviously injured. The men in black fell to the ground, their lives or deaths unknown.

"Emma, ​​I'm still tired." After dealing with these men in black, Liu Jun let out a long sigh, and sat on the ground as if he was exhausted.

His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and the rise and fall of his chest gradually calmed down. Although the battle did not last long, these killers were all powerful warriors in the early stage of the Half-Step God King Realm, and the fight was still quite dangerous.

"This power, hmm, is quite interesting." Liu Jun looked down at his hands. There was still a faint breath of fire in his palms, which was the trace of the power of the origin of fire flowing through his body.

"whoosh whoosh"

A series of voices rang out, and in the blink of an eye, General Nie Yun and others came to Liu Jun's side, with a look of concern on their faces. Nie Yun was wearing silver armor, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and his eyes were sharp, and he was obviously nearby. Military Advisor Chu Liuying held a feather fan, frowned slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Chu Liuying asked softly, with a hint of nervousness in her tone. Her eyes swept over Liu Jun, as if to see if he was injured.

Liu Jun waved his hand, a faint smile on his face: "It's okay, I just use them to consolidate my own realm."

Although his voice was calm, his eyes revealed a trace of fatigue. Ever since he merged with the origin of fire, it was like a seed was planted in his body. As the seed grew, his realm was constantly improving.

In just a few months, he jumped from the middle stage of the Lord God level to the late stage of the Lord God level. This speed is incredible in the eyes of ordinary people. However, this rapid improvement of realm is not without disadvantages. If the foundation is unstable and the realm is superficial, one may go astray if he is not careful. Therefore, Liu Jun thought of using these killers to hone himself and consolidate his realm through actual combat. (End of this chapter)
