I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

Two incense sticks later, Zhao Heshan's confidant returned to the Fire Dragon Gang leader's residence and whispered a few words in his ear.

"As planned, a cultivator who has broken through the cultivation level will go to the Catfish Gang to arrest the members and bring them to justice for questioning!" Zhao Heshan began assigning tasks.

The first-level martial artist went directly to the Catfish Gang.

The remaining two-stage warriors followed Zhao Heshan out of the Fire Dragon Gang leader's residence.

"Junior Brother Xu, take a look, which direction is it?" Zhao Heshan turned to look at Xu Hao.

The previous inquiry only confirmed that there was a group of strangers in the Catfish Gang, but the small fry on the roadside had no right to know their exact location.

Therefore, he placed his hopes on Xu Hao.

Since some clues have emerged, and it was previously stated that the candidate had been identified, there should be some leads.

"I know!" Xu Hao nodded. "Come with me!"

With a game panel, these red-named players gathered together have nowhere to hide.

Either stay out of his sight, or become his experience points.

"Let's go!" Zhao Heshan took the lead, jumped over the courtyard wall, and followed closely behind Xu Hao.

The other constables, who had broken through to the second level of cultivation, looked at each other in bewilderment.

Everyone was the first to contact them and come to investigate, so how come they know nothing?

What kind of riddles are you playing?!

However, as second-stage martial artists, they were all well-trained.

Before long, the group climbed over the courtyard wall and quietly arrived at the vicinity of a secluded courtyard.

"Is this the place?" Zhao Heshan asked with a hint of curiosity.

This kind of courtyard is really too common in the eastern suburbs.

If Xu Hao hadn't had a previous experience catching a spy, he really wouldn't have believed it.

"This is the place, but it's a bit tricky. There are three-stage breakthrough martial artists inside!" Xu Hao's expression turned serious.

"A third-tier defeat?" Zhao Heshan sneered. "Dare to come to Qinghe County? Even a fourth-tier defeat will have to cower in fear!"

As soon as Zhao Heshan finished speaking, he waved his hand, and other reinforcements immediately surrounded the courtyard.

"Get ready!"

The others looked grave.

Xu Hao immediately gripped the constable's longsword at his waist.

These are all experience points; we can't let it escape.

Meanwhile, a group of people were eating and drinking in a room in a secluded courtyard.

"Haha, not bad this time. That Fire Dragon Gang leader is actually a second-stage martial artist. He's been hiding his abilities very well. But it's good, we can refine a second-stage Blood Condensation Pill too!"

"Second Brother, please give me this one. My younger brother back home is at a crucial juncture in his breakthrough. With this Blood Condensation Pill, he can become a second-stage martial artist and contribute to our Holy Sect!"

"Just a mere Blood Coagulation Pill, take it." The man called Second Brother then tossed a blood-smelling pill to one of the men, before arrogantly declaring, "Once we occupy Qinghe County, we'll have every kind of pill we need, even a fourth-stage Blood Coagulation Pill!"

Whoosh.

Just then, an arrow flew in from outside the room.

"Enemy attack!" The second brother of the Changsheng Sect's expression hardened, and he made a sudden move, sending the wine cup flying from his hand.

boom.

The wine glass collided with the arrow, creating a powerful shockwave.

In an instant,

Countless arrows then poured in.

puff.

Some members of the Longevity Cult were not strong enough to dodge the arrows and were pierced through.

"Go!" Almost instantly, the group of people sitting around the table stood up abruptly, scattered, and rushed out of the room.

"They're out! Kill them!" Zhao Heshan commanded from outside.

Xu Hao took the lead.

"Draw your sword, slash!" Having already gathered his energy and momentum, Xu Hao immediately unleashed his blade upon seeing someone escape.

puff.

The sound of a sharp blade slicing through flesh echoed throughout.

Xu Hao's longsword severed the necks of the Eternal Life Cult members, leaving them in disbelief.

Clang.

The head fell.

You gain 1000 experience points for killing a valuable creature.

Your level has increased, and you have gained free attribute points.

Xu Hao didn't stop; he drew his sword and pulled it out.

His strength was too great, and his sword-drawing slash was very simple.

He would stab someone with a knife.

Martial artists have a thick skin and strong defenses, so they are not afraid of ordinary swords. However, with Xu Hao's power, the sheer force of his strength alone is something that ordinary martial artists cannot defend against.

Almost one cut, one kill!

"Ah!" the members of the Longevity Cult shouted angrily.

But it didn't work.

They were merely a vanguard scout team sent by the Changsheng Sect. Furthermore, the Changsheng Sect had suffered a great loss at the Cui family's fishpond, and the surrounding strength was not high to begin with.

Furthermore, Zhao Heshan, with his calculated strategy, gained the upper hand.

This was a one-sided massacre.

You have killed a valuable creature and gained 2,000 experience points.

Your level has increased, and you have gained free attribute points.

Xu Hao's intervention was not unexpected.

A warrior who has just broken through one level cannot withstand a single strike, and the same is true for a warrior who has just broken through two levels.

When Xu Hao makes a move, there is no chance of survival.

Even the fellow constables were shocked by this scene.

"Isn't he from the Chen Family Martial Arts School, practicing the top-tier Tiger Fist, just like Lord Zhao? How come his swordsmanship is so powerful too!"

"One strike, and a second-stage martial artist is dead?"

Both being at the second breakthrough level, Xu Hao's combat power is ridiculously strong.

"Xu Hao, stop killing! Leave a few alive!" Zhao Heshan couldn't help but remind him when he saw Xu Hao slaughtering everyone.

If Xu Hao were to kill all the members of the Longevity Sect, how would he explain himself to the authorities?

Moreover, they also had to glean intelligence from the members of the Longevity Cult.

They're all dead, who are we supposed to ask?

"What a pity!" Xu Hao sighed inwardly upon hearing Zhao Heshan's shout.

His initial plan was to kill as many red-named players as possible before others could react, in order to gain enough experience points.

As a result, before he could even get his hands dirty, Zhao Heshan had already stopped him.

Now that I've taken the twenty taels of silver from the government office, I still have to do what I'm supposed to do.

Xu Hao immediately took action to capture the other members of the Longevity Cult.

boom.

With a single punch, a second-stage martial artist was sent flying backward.

The other constables exchanged glances and could only sigh helplessly.

The martial artists of the Longevity Cult, who were evenly matched with them, were not even a match for them.

Boom boom boom.

Xu Hao took action and quickly ended the battle.

Then, only Zhao Heshan and a third-stage martial artist from the Longevity Sect remained in the arena.

Looking around at the scene, Qiu Shen knew they were finished.

"You just wait, I won't let you get away with this!"

He gritted his teeth, glared fiercely at Xu Hao, bit his lip, and his whole body swelled with crimson blood.

This is a secret technique of the Longevity Sect, temporarily stimulating the flow of qi and blood.

He punched Zhao Heshan away and then turned and fled.

"You want to leave now? Did you ask me first?" Xu Hao saw the vicious look in Qiu Shen's eyes and, having prepared himself, leaped into Qiu Shen's retreat route.

No one here should even think about leaving.

"You deserve to die!" Qiu Shen of the Changsheng Sect roared when he saw that the person blocking his way was the one he hated. Instead of retreating, he advanced and charged towards Xu Hao.

Having regained his footing by retreating, Zhao Heshan saw Xu Hao blocking his path and quickly shouted a warning, "Be careful! That's the Bloodlust Technique of the Longevity Sect. Don't confront it head-on, dodge it..."

But it was too late...
