In chaotic times, one can become a martial immortal.

Chapter 133 Corpse Puppet, Sword Saint's Legacy

"The old swordsman has granted me a chance?"

As Zhuo Hang finished speaking, a strange light appeared in Lu Yuan's eyes.

It seems that the news of his killing of Jin Sheng in the secret realm has not only reached the headquarters of the Suspended Sword Division, but has also brought him into the sights of that old sword saint.

"This mission will also serve as a test for you. If you complete it, you will not only receive 50,000 merit points, but you will also be able to study a sword move passed down by the Sword Master!"

Zhuo Hang looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Of course, if you really don't want to go, I won't force you!"

"Wow!"

Lu Yuan didn't hesitate for long and said directly.

Putting aside the 50,000 merit points, the old sword saint's sword technique inheritance alone was enough to tempt him.

Moreover, it's time for him to make a trip to the Chu family of Shangwu County.

"very good!"

Zhuo Hang nodded in satisfaction and said, "From now on, you will be directly promoted to Silver Sword Envoy. You will also have full control over all the forces of Tianshui Garrison when you go to Shangwu County."

"Is this for real?"

Lu Yuan's gaze shifted slightly; he hadn't expected such an unexpected surprise.

His promotion from Bronze Sword Envoy to Silver Sword Envoy not only meant that his official rank rose directly from the sixth to the fourth rank, giving him much more power, but also that he was one rank higher than any other official. He could freely command civil and military officials below the third rank.

Moreover, the basic monthly merit points also increased from one thousand to three thousand.

In this way, even without using those sacred medicines, his cultivation should not lack resources to assist him.

In particular, the progress of breaking through the limits of various cultivation techniques should also be accelerated considerably.

"Lu Yuan, do you need any help?"

Jiang Ying turned to Lu Yuan and asked.

"I am enough on my own!"

Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head.

Although Jiang Ying is quite capable, she probably can't help him much anymore.

"Then you'd better be careful!"

Jiang Ying nodded and said no more.

After obtaining the Silver Sword Token, Lu Yuan led a group of Bronze Sword Envoys and Iron Sword Envoys directly towards Shangwu County.

The Crimson Dragon Horse, which can travel ten thousand miles a day, took them only a few hours to reach the Shangwu County region.

"Kill them all—kill them all!"

However, before Lu Yuan and his group could actually enter the county town, they were surrounded by a group of men in black.

In an instant, shouts of battle filled the air as these men in black launched a ferocious attack on them, seemingly without regard for their own lives.

"Move them! Leave no one alive!"

As soon as Lu Yuan gave the order, many of the bronze and iron sword wielders of the Suspended Sword Division also took action to meet the attack.

"Ah————Ah————Ah————"

Immediately, screams rose and fell, and men in black continued to fall to the ground.

Although the men in black had an overwhelming advantage in numbers, they were quickly slaughtered by a dozen or so bronze sword wielders, and then by hundreds of others, leaving them screaming in agony.

Without Lu Yuan even having to lift a finger, the hundreds of men in black were quickly slaughtered.

"My lord, these are all remnants of the Longevity Cult!"

After inspecting the area, one of the bronze sword wielders reported to Lu Yuan.

"It seems the Longevity Cult in Shangwu County is far more rampant than in Anyang County!"

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, pondering to himself.

Not only could they gather so many experts of the lower and middle ranks, but they also dared to launch a direct ambush against them. This shows that the Changsheng Sect of Shangwu County has developed to an unimaginable level, far surpassing the small-scale operations of Anyang County.

What he is seeing now may only be the tip of the iceberg.

"Roar! Roar!"

At that moment, two roars suddenly came.

Immediately afterwards, two terrifying figures broke through the air.

These were actually two monsters, each over two meters tall, with extremely robust physiques, and looking like half-human, half-ghost figures.

"Everyone be careful, these are corpse puppets from the Longevity Cult!"

One of the bronze sword wielders looked horrified and hurriedly said...

The so-called corpse puppet is a puppet made from the corpse of a martial artist using special secret methods.

Although the corpse puppet has no intelligence, it can still retain the fighting consciousness it had in life.

Therefore, the more powerful a corpse puppet was in life, the stronger it will be now.

Furthermore, the corpse puppet is fearless of death and feels no pain; in fact, its defensive capabilities are much stronger than those of ordinary martial artists. Without absolute overwhelming strength, it would be difficult to completely defeat it.

"Stop them!"

Dozens of iron swordsmen launched an attack on the two corpse puppets simultaneously.

"Ding ding dong—ding ding dong—"

However, these attacks, when they landed on the corpse puppets, failed to cause them any harm, only producing a series of metallic clanging sounds.

"These two corpse puppets were at least at the middle third rank in cultivation when they were alive. I'm afraid ordinary attacks wouldn't be able to truly harm them. Let's try together. If that doesn't work, I'm afraid we'll have to ask Lord Lu Yuan to take action personally!"

Several bronze swordsmen exchanged solemn glances before simultaneously lunging at the two corpse puppets.

"Bang! Bang! Bang—"

The bronze swordsmen had barely approached the two corpse puppets when they were easily repelled by their fists.

"I think I've broken a bone. This monster is far beyond our capabilities!"

One of the bronze sword wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth exclaimed in surprise.

These two corpse puppets not only possessed extremely strong combat awareness but also immense strength. Their defensive capabilities were almost comparable to those of a fourth-rank martial artist, making it impossible for them to break through their defenses.

"roar!"

The two corpse puppets let out another roar, then charged out and madly attacked the crowd.

"You all step back, I'll handle them!"

At this moment, Lu Yuan's body trembled, and he arrived directly in front of the two corpse puppets.

"I wonder if Lord Lu Yuan is capable of dealing with these two terrifying corpse puppets!"

"Lord Lu Yuan can even slay a Saintly Body prodigy, so dealing with these two corpse puppets will naturally be no problem for him!"

Seeing Lu Yuan make his move, several bronze sword wielders and hundreds of iron sword wielders all stared intently at him, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Although Lu Yuan had only recently been promoted to Silver Sword Envoy, no one dared to underestimate him in the slightest.

Because they all knew that Lu Yuan was not only a fourth-grade cultivator, but had also recently killed Jin Sheng, the chief disciple of the Ziyang Sect.

It should be noted that Jin Sheng was not only a fourth-rank cultivator, but also a Saint Body prodigy. His true strength was probably comparable to that of a third-rank cultivator. Yet, even so, their newly promoted Silver Sword Envoy still managed to kill him without a scratch.

This is enough to show that Lu Yuan's true strength must far surpass that of Jin Sheng.

They were all very curious about where Lu Yuan's limits lay.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous roar, a streak of lightning sword energy flashed across the void in an instant.

The next moment, to everyone's horror, the heads of the two corpse puppets flew off and fell to the ground.

"Wow—what a terrifying sword strike!"

Only after the two corpse puppets collapsed to the ground did everyone finally come to their senses, and they were all deeply shocked.

Although they were mentally prepared that Lord Lu Yuan would be able to deal with the two corpse puppets, they still did not expect that Lord Lu Yuan would easily sever the heads of the two corpse puppets with a casual sword stroke.
