If I, a death row inmate, am not to become a demon, am I to become a member of the Imperial Guard?

The three worked together seamlessly, blocking all of Zhou Yang's escape routes from three different angles.

The blade was sharp, imbued with internal force, and its whistling sound as it cut through the air was deafening.

"In your next life, don't join a cult!"

The leader of the flags cleaved down with a single blow from the front. A corrupted clerk, who had just entered the Hundred Battles Realm, was merely cannon fodder created by Fang Tian using evil magic. The fact that the three of them joined forces was already giving him too much credit.

Zhou Yang showed no sign of panic.

"Chaotic Void Step!" Just as the blade was less than a foot away from his body, his body suddenly became blurry.

"What?"

The blades of the three captains all struck empty air, and the three of them were startled.

What about people?

"I'm here."

A calm voice sounded behind them.

The three men felt a chill run down their spines and, without a second thought, turned to defend.

late.

Zhou Yang threw a punch, and a muffled sound rang out in the air.

Mighty Bull Demon Fist!

The fist didn't hit any of the three people, but instead struck the empty space between them.

A violent force exploded out, forming a visible shockwave.

"puff!"

The three captains felt as if they had been hit by a charging bull. The sound of their ribs breaking was clearly audible. Their bodies flew backward uncontrollably and crashed heavily to the ground, their vomit staining their clothes red with blood.

one move!

With just one move, three captains at the Body Refinement Realm were already seriously injured and unable to get up.

"hiss!"

The remaining six officers stopped in their tracks in shock at the sight, their eyes filled with wariness as they looked at Zhou Yang.

"Something's not right, he's not at the peak of Body Refinement!"

"This power can't possibly belong to someone who's just entered the Hundred Battles Realm! He's been hiding his true strength!"

"Damn it, that old fox Fang Tian actually had this trick up his sleeve!"

The six men exchanged a glance, no longer showing any contempt, and simultaneously drew their swords, surrounding the group from six directions.

This time, instead of rushing to attack, they moved their feet and formed a small combined attack formation.

The flashing blades sealed off all the space around Zhou Yang.

"That's interesting."

Zhou Yang muttered to himself, but his face showed a fanatical expression of fearlessness.

"For the Holy Church! For our adoptive father!"

He roared and charged forward again.

[Chaotic Sky Step] Unleashed with full power!

In an instant, six afterimages appeared in the arena, each one so lifelike that it was impossible to distinguish between the real and the fake.

"Oh no, it's a movement-based martial art!"

"Chop! Chop them all down!"

The six captains were thrown into disarray and slashed at the nearest afterimage.

The blade flashed, but it only cleaved through the air.

Zhou Yang's true form had already appeared behind a squad leader.

He pointed his fingers like a sword and struck the other man in the back.

"Bang!"

The captain's body stiffened, his protective internal force was directly pierced, and he fell forward, instantly losing consciousness.

Solve one.

Zhou Yang moved swiftly, weaving through the flashing swords like a ghost.

He threw another punch, this time at the knife of another squad leader.

"when!"

The Embroidered Spring Blade curved into an exaggerated arc, and tremendous force was transmitted through the blade. The captain's hand was split open, his weapon slipped from his grasp, and he was shaken backward.

Zhou Yang caught up and delivered a chop to his neck.

Another one has fallen.

In less than ten breaths, five of the remaining six captains were lying on the ground. Although none of them were dead, they had completely lost their fighting ability.

Only one person remained, gripping a knife, his legs trembling, his face deathly pale as he stared at Zhou Yang.

"Demon...demon!"

Zhou Yang ignored him and instead turned his gaze to the city wall not far away.

There, three officers dressed in flying fish robes were coldly watching the scene.

"He's at the Hundred Battles Realm, and his movement and fist techniques are of a high grade."

The three elderly men among the trial households spoke slowly, their voices hoarse.

"Fang Tian is quite ruthless, actually sending a master of the Hundred Battles Realm as a sacrifice."

The only female member of the Hundred Households was beautiful and aloof with sharp eyes.

"According to Eagle Eye, Fang Tian is fleeing in a northwest direction at an extremely fast speed."

The last young man, who was also a centurion, said that his eyes still maintained their eagle-like gaze.

"A bait of a Hundred Battles Realm expert is a bit too extravagant."

The old man shook his head.

"I'll take care of him. You guys keep chasing Fang Tian and don't let him get away."

As the aloof and beautiful female officer spoke, she moved swiftly, leaping down from the ten-zhang-high city wall. She landed silently and then transformed into a blur, rushing straight towards Zhou Yang.

So fast!

Zhou Yang felt a chill run down his spine; this woman's strength far surpassed that of the captains.

The aura emanating from the other party was also at the Hundred Battles Realm, but it was much more solid than that of him, a beginner who had just broken through.

"You demon, prepare to die!"

Before the aloof and beautiful female officer arrived, a sharp blade of energy had already pierced through the air.

True energy released externally!

No, this is a manifestation of highly concentrated internal energy; it's still one step away from releasing true essence externally.

Even so, its power is not to be underestimated.

Zhou Yang dared not be careless. He took a deep breath and mobilized the innate true energy in his dantian, pouring it into his right fist.

"roll!"

He roared and instead of retreating, he advanced, throwing a punch straight at the blade's energy.

Fist clashed with blade energy.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a powerful force spread outwards, kicking up dust from the ground.

Zhou Yang swayed and took three steps back.

The female officer also did a somersault in mid-air and landed steadily, her gaze towards Zhou Yang now more serious.

"He actually managed to take my knife head-on?"

She was a little surprised.

"Is this all the henchmen of the Embroidered Uniform Guard are capable of?"

Zhou Yang shook his slightly numb fist, but he didn't back down verbally, continuing to play the role of a fanatical believer.

"You're not qualified to arrest our sect leader!"

"court death!"

Enraged, the aloof female officer, Shi Baihu, brandished her embroidered spring knife, which was now covered with a thick layer of internal energy, and charged forward once more.

Zhou Yang inwardly groaned.

Damn it, I only have three years left to live. I can't afford to fight this crazy woman head-on.

We need to find a way to escape.

His eyes lit up, and an idea came to him.

Facing the charging female officer, he once again adopted the stance of the Mighty Bull Demon Fist, looking as if he was ready to fight to the death.

"Godfather, I'm here to help you!"

Just as the two were about to make contact, Zhou Yang suddenly shifted his feet.

【Rankubu】!

His figure vanished instantly, not retreating, nor dodging, but running wildly in the exact opposite direction from Fang Tian's escape.

"Trying to run away?"

The female officer reacted very quickly and immediately turned to chase after her.

"He's bait! Let's ignore him for now."

The voice of the old man, who was trying to become a centurion, could be heard from the city wall.

"Fang Tian is the mastermind; we can't let him escape our sight!"

The female examiner paused, a look of resentment on her face.

A demonic cultivator at the Hundred Battles Realm, just like that, escaped?

"This person is quite powerful; if left unchecked, he will surely become a major threat in the future!"

She was still somewhat hesitant.

"Chase Fang Tian first!"

The old man gave the order again, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"The Dragon Phoenix Army has surrounded us from both sides; Fang Tian can't escape! We must deal with this bait first to prevent him from tipping off the enemy!"

Young man Shi Baihu also jumped down from the city wall and gave a different opinion.

In the short time they were arguing, Zhou Yang had already run more than 100 meters away.

"Damn it, I finally managed to fool them."

Zhou Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

He was betting that the Embroidered Uniform Guard could distinguish between primary and secondary matters.

Fang Tian, ​​a True Essence Realm incense master, is far more valuable than him, an unknown Hundred Battles Realm cultivator.

"Send two captains to pursue him! The rest of you, follow me and pursue Fang Tian!"

The old man finally made a decision. With a flash, he led the young centurion and the remaining captain in pursuit of the direction Fang Tian had fled.

The aloof female commander snorted and gave orders to the two lightly injured captains on the ground.

"You two, go and bring back his head!"

"Yes, sir!"

The two captains struggled to their feet and left to carry out their orders.
