Human beings are deceitful, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

Chapter 248.
This weird phenomenon even made Xie Gaoguang have an extremely absurd conjecture.

He raised his head quietly, took a careful look at the figure wrapped in black robe, and then quickly looked away, suppressing all distracting thoughts.

Xie Gaoguang warned himself in his heart: "Why do you think so much?"

"Ignorance is a kind of luck."

The prince stared at him with a half-smile: "Gao Guang, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Gaoguang shuddered all over, and knelt down on the ground: "Slave, I have been worrying about the battle situation in Liuzhou for the past two days, and my mind is disturbed. Your Highness laughed at me."

The prince didn't care whether the words were true or not, but asked again: "I asked you to investigate, how did the investigation go?"

Xie Gaoguang swallowed, knelt on the ground and said.

"Qingzhou's acting town spirit envoy, Wu Quan, is extremely unpopular in Zhenling Division, and the warriors don't like it. Before entering the fairy cave, he had a dispute with Sanna of Yanzhou Zhenling Division."

"His death seems quite strange..."

The prince said lightly: "You should know what I really want you to investigate."

His tone was not serious, but there was a trace of indifference.

"I know! Of course I know!"

Xie Gaoguang was so frightened that his head broke into a cold sweat, kowtowed like garlic, and said repeatedly: "Ghost-masked man!"

"I found this name from the warriors. At that time, in that cave, he was the only one who was most likely to find the lost God General's armor and do something about it."

Then, Xie Gaoguang began to describe in detail what he knew about the ghost-faced man.

"This ghost-faced man is a martial artist who has gained fame in the Qingzhou and Lingzhou areas in recent months. It is said that his strength is suspected to be above the fifth level. His behavior is extremely mysterious. No one knows his true face. The armor, the mask is as hideous and terrifying as the face of a ghost, so it has this name..."

After listening to the prince, he didn't find any concealment or exaggeration, which was the same as the information he had learned through other channels. He nodded and muttered to himself.

"Ghost-faced man..."

Soon, the prince asked another seemingly unrelated question.

"The current Qingzhou Zhenling Division has the seeds of a god general?"

Xie Gaoguang nodded: "Yes, there are talents selected by General Tie himself, called Lu Bin, a jade-faced scholar, who has already broken through the fifth realm."

"Scholar?"

The prince lowered his brows and eyes, thinking of a figure he had seen in the crowd before, showing a thoughtful look.

******
The next morning.

The sky is getting brighter, and there is still a faint mist in the air.

An Le, who put all the prepared materials into the storage bag, brought Ye Linger to the agreed place.

Situ Yuan and several warriors were already waiting nearby.

Seeing An Le and the tall and conspicuous Ye Linger beside him, Situ Yuan had a strange expression on his face. After walking aside, he asked in a low voice.

"Brother Lu, you were born and died and still brought your wife with you?"

You know, they are going to suppress the rebellion this time, and they are not going on a tour. It is obviously inappropriate to bring the female relatives with them.

Situ Yuan also met Ye Ling'er a few times, and his impression of her is that she is very tasty, and the second is that she has a very innocent personality.

As for strength?

Looking at Ye Linger's delicate skin and tender flesh, one can tell that she is probably powerless.

In a dangerous battle, it is undoubtedly just a burden.

An Le naturally understood that Situ Yuan had good intentions, but this was his promise to his senior sister, how could he break his promise?

Besides, with Ye Linger's combat strength, it might be uncertain who will protect who when the time comes!

An Le patted Situ Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, she is strong enough to protect herself."

Suspicion appeared on Situ Yuan's face, but since it was An Le's decision, he didn't want to persuade him too much, so he could only say, "Brother Lu, you just know what's in your mind."

Although the other Zhenlingsi warriors had strange eyes, they didn't dare to meddle in Anle's fifth-level affairs, let alone say anything more.

"Senior sister, take this."

After Situ Yuan walked away, An Le took out the black hat and veil and asked Ye Linger to put them on.

The area they will set foot in next is extremely chaotic, and the appearance of the senior sister may cause unnecessary trouble.

Ye Linger obeyed obediently, she looked around at the warriors around, and said in a low voice.

"Little brother, they are so weak..."

An Le forced her voice into a line, and directly passed the voice into her ears: "...There is no need to say such words."

"If it's not a last resort, senior sister, you'd better not make a move, especially don't use supernatural powers and spells."

Ye Linger obediently pecked her little head: "I see."

While the two were talking privately, many warriors rushed to this small hill one after another, waiting in full force.

Compared with the last operation commanded by Wu Quan, this time the Qingzhou Town Lingsi can be said to have truly come out in full force, leaving only a very small number of left behind.

To everyone's surprise, the mysterious man in black robe also came here, as if he wanted to go out with them.

As the saying goes, the son of a daughter cannot sit still.

For a person of such illustrious status as him, there is absolutely no need to take personal risks.

But people also thought of a possibility—perhaps, it was because this mysterious person thought that nothing could threaten his own safety, so he dared to act like this?
In any case, after the other party arrived, the atmosphere near the small hill became solemn with the naked eye, and the voices of the warriors subconsciously lowered their voices.

Last night's demonstration by the mysterious man was surprisingly effective.

How dare everyone be careless with such a boss who is so ready to kill?
An Le's face remained calm, silently looking in the direction of the man in black, thinking to himself.

"The movements are slow and dull, and they are not observing the outside world at all."

"Sure enough, they are all in the same state as in the deduction."

As the owner of [War God's Pose], An Le can naturally see the abnormal movements of the man in black.

Compared with the killing demonstration yesterday, he is now more like a stiff puppet, as if controlled by countless invisible threads.

But because of this, An Le became more and more vigilant.

Can make a puppet become Qingzhou's deputy town spirit envoy, the identity of the person behind it seems to be ready to be revealed.

It didn't take long for the warriors of Qingzhou Town Lingsi to gather.

With so many people, it is naturally impossible for them all to gather together, but to be divided into several small teams and leave in batches.

Although An Le has not yet been promoted to Qianhu, the strength of the fifth realm is there after all, and he has also assumed the responsibility of commanding a group of warriors.

******
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Qingzhou is located at the junction of Liuzhou, Yanzhou, and Lingzhou. It is sandwiched between these three states. It is not too far away from Liuzhou. In addition, the warriors of Zhenling Division are all elite, and their marching speed is far faster than ordinary people. , It only took three days to reach the border of Liuzhou.

"Gentlemen, do me a favor, give me something to eat, I'll kneel down for you..."

Several ragged refugees knelt down in front of the warriors. They were all yellow, thin, and bony, with fear in their eyes.

Ordinary people's attitude towards Zhenling Division is like a snake and a scorpion, and it is too late to dodge on weekdays. If they are not really hungry, they will never dare to take the initiative to approach the warriors of Zhenling Division.

The begged martial artist was quite kind-hearted, so he distributed some food at will and sent these refugees away.

If there were some ferocious warriors, maybe they would do something.

"Hey, I have met more and more refugees recently."

Seeing this scene, Situ Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Counting this time, we have encountered five waves today."

"Has the situation in Liuzhou deteriorated to this extent?"

An Le next to him was silent.

The closer they got to Liuzhou, the more miserable the situation they saw along the way.

Many fields are abandoned, and refugees fleeing for refuge and uncontained corpses can be seen everywhere, which is shocking.

Apart from the war in Liuzhou, the long-term drought and high government taxes have already made many people unable to survive--after all, the situation in Baoqi County is only a minority.

Faced with this situation, An Le's heart is also very heavy.

The power of the individual is extremely small in the face of this general trend.

The group of people walked forward for a while, when Anle's token suddenly sounded an exclamation.

"It's a small group of rebels from Liuzhou!"

The voice was quite confident at first: "With our strength, we should be able to solve it quickly."

It has to be said that Zhenlingsi's token is really effective in this relatively primitive war, whether it is dispatching warriors or passing information, it can be one step faster.

But just a few seconds later, there was a trace of panic in the speaker's tone.

"No, their state... is very wrong!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of fighting from the token, among which were suppressed gasps and strange roars.

"Request support! Request support!"

By this time, his voice was filled with great fear, as if he had seen some kind of terrifying monster.

"They are not human at all..."

"No...don't come here!"

Finally, after a crisp "click", the red dot belonging to the other party on the An Le Token was completely extinguished.

Situ Yuan was shocked: "What happened?"

From the news to the death of the speaker, it took less than three minutes in total. A group of warriors from the Zhenling Division were wiped out like this?

An Le's face was serious, knowing that they still ran into an unavoidable enemy.

"follow me!"

Not long after, An Le arrived at the area where the battle took place.

This is a flat open space, which shows that the warriors of Zhenling Division encountered the rebels head-on, rather than falling into any trap.

The ground was full of traces after the fierce battle, the soil and rocks were cracked, blood was mottled, and there were several mutilated limbs hanging on the side.

Soon, An Le found the bodies of his colleagues, four of them in total.

Their deaths were extremely miserable, either their stomachs were disembowelled, or their heads were smashed to pieces, and almost none of them remained intact.

Normal fighters usually would not kill people in such a brutal way, it was as if they were attacked by monsters.

"What is this..."

Another small group of warriors nearby also came here. Seeing this tragic scene, they couldn't help but change their expressions.

"Didn't the enemy leave even a single corpse?"

"Did they leave with the dead, or... no one was hurt at all?"

Situ Yuan only felt that it was extremely ridiculous: "How can the strength of the rebel army be so strong?"

"Is it because of that immortal law?"

At this moment, An Le's token vibrated again: "I also encountered rebels here, come to support!"

The opponent's red dot was located very close, and it only took half a minute for everyone to rush to the battlefield.

An Le's eyes were fixed, and he looked into the battlefield.

At this time, the enemy had already fought with the warriors of Zhenling Division.

Speaking of the rebels, these people actually looked like refugees. They were dressed in rags and didn't even have a handy weapon in their hands. They didn't look like much threat.

But there seems to be a strange activity in the bodies of these people, their running speed is not slow at all, and they can even step on the ground when they fall on the ground, which shows their considerable strength.

"Hoahahahah!!!"

Their eyes were bloodshot, their expressions were crazy, and they were filled with crazy hatred, and they let out low and weird roars.

"The heavens are dead, and the immortals shall stand!"

A martial artist punched a refugee's chest, and his chest immediately sunken inward.

Such an injury would undoubtedly kill an ordinary person, but this person grinned, opened his mouth, and bit the warrior's throat, directly biting off a large amount of flesh and blood.

Blood is flying!

The martial artist with a ruptured trachea stared wide-eyed in astonishment, unwilling to die.

There was also a warrior who easily cut off the arm of a refugee, but there was no pain on the opponent's face. The blood that flowed from the wound was thick and black, with a rotten smell.

In the battle situation, there were many similar situations. Seeing Situ Yuan and the others, the hairs stood up and their backs shivered.

"What kind of monsters are these?"

"Aren't they afraid of pain and death?"

In hand-to-hand combat, the advantages of being unafraid of pain and unafraid of death are enormous.

Many warriors were about to fight, but they saw An Le wave a palm.

The white palm fell lightly, as if the air was twisted under this palm, and the indescribable pressure fell on the refugees.

laugh!laugh!laugh!
The sound of flesh and bones collapsing continued to be heard.

In just one breath, the bodies of the dozen or so refugees all burst open and turned into a puddle of flesh.

There was only one exceptionally tall and strong one-armed man. Although he suddenly fell to his knees and couldn't stand up, he was not blown away by this palm.

Seeing this scene, the previous group of warriors were first shocked by this strength, then hurriedly walked in front of An Le, and said respectfully.

"Thank you Master Lu for your help!"

An Le's expression was still serious: "Which one of you was hurt by the rebels' nails and teeth? Don't hide it, all stand up."

Hearing this strange order, although the warriors were a little puzzled, they still followed it.

Three second-level warriors were injured by refugees.

At the third level of Martial Dao, Qi and blood can be turned into a layer of battle clothes, so you won't be easily injured by skin trauma.

An Le sighed softly, and then ordered.

"Tie the three of them up and keep them under strict supervision. Once they show symptoms of red eyes, low growls, and dull expressions, they will be shot to death."

Hearing this, the expressions of the three fighters who survived the battlefield changed suddenly, and they panicked.

"Why!?"

"I shed blood for Zhenlingsi!"

The leader of these people also couldn't understand, and asked cautiously: "What do you mean by this, my lord?"

"They shouldn't have provoked you, have they?"

An Le said seriously: "It's literally."

"If you don't want to kill more people, just do as I say!"

"Human immortality is contagious!"

Hearing this, there was silence all around, and there was no sound.

Everyone was terrified, and their backs were wet with cold sweat.

Situ Yuan murmured in disbelief, "Contagion?"

Seeing that they still had some disbelief, Anle explained a few words: "You can understand that the human immortal law is a kind of disease, once bitten or scratched by these people, you will suffer from this disease, and there is no medicine Curable!"

"Fucking fart! What do you know, a dog officer?"

At this moment, the suppressed one-armed man raised his head and cursed.

"After practicing the Human Immortal Method, you don't need to eat or drink, and you don't have to worry about pain or injury. This is a good thing for you to be free and at ease! How can it be a disease?"

"Those three people are about to become immortals, and they will be in the rank of immortals. Such a beautiful thing, others can't ask for it!"

Hearing this, the faces of the three injured warriors instantly lost their color and became extremely pale.

The one-armed man's words, on the contrary, confirmed An Le's correctness from the side.

An Le turned to look at this person: "It seems that your brain is not completely broken."

"Tell me, why are you here?"

The one-armed man sneered: "Are you stupid for me? I won't tell you even a little bit of information!"

The big man's words are extremely tough. He who has practiced the Immortal Law is not afraid of pain, let alone death. Traditional interrogation methods will not have the slightest effect.

"My lord, do you need my people to have a trial first?"

A martial artist from the Zhenling Division managed to regain his composure and offered to propose.

There are many talented people in the Zhenling Division, and there are also some warriors who specialize in torture, and he happens to have one of them.

Although An Le didn't have any hope in her heart, she still said, "Then you guys try it first, and be careful not to be hurt by him."

After the big man was taken down, many warriors still haven't recovered from the shock just now.

Fearless, fanatical, unafraid of pain, even without food and water...

No one wants to face an enemy who possesses both of these qualities.

Situ Yuan can also see now that in terms of individual combat power alone, although civilians who have practiced the Human Immortal Law are stronger than before, they are still not as good as orthodox warriors.

In a martial arts competition, these people are definitely not opponents, but if it is a life-and-death fight, the lethality they bring is extremely terrifying.

Moreover, if An Le's words are true, the warriors who are injured will also be infected...

There seemed to be a haze in Situ Yuan's heart.

Now he finally knew why Liuzhou was destroyed in such a short period of time.

"These guys, don't they have any weaknesses?"

An Le replied, "Of course."

"Didn't you realize that those refugees... were all crazy?"

Situ Yuan was taken aback for a moment, recalling the expression of the rebels, except for this big man, the rest of the people had only madness and hatred on their faces, it was a kind of... disgust for the living!

"Could it be that these people not only attack officers and soldiers, but also all civilians are their targets?"

Just realizing this, Situ Yuan didn't dare to imagine what kind of hell on earth is in Liuzhou right now.
