The proof of Emperor Wu began with daily rewards for diligence.

bass!

Before Chen Jue could move, the icy sword energy emanating from the tip of the man in the bamboo hat's sword pierced towards Chen Jue's brow.

The next moment, Chen Jue suddenly rushed forward, arriving first despite being behind, his long sword slicing through the air and striking the man in the bamboo hat who was coming with a dagger.

Clang!

The straight, icy sword energy was cleaved apart by the longsword in Chen Jue's hand. The broken sword energy scattered in all directions was like flying needles and threads, piercing through Chen Jue's gray clothes and leaving streaks of blood on his body and face.

But as the saying goes, an inch longer is an inch stronger. The four-foot-seven-inch long sword in his hand was simply too long. After a violent slash, the blade broke through the barrier of true energy and went straight to the man in the straw hat.

The man in the straw hat clearly hadn't expected Chen Jue to fight in this way, risking injury for death, and hurriedly sheathed his sword to block.

when!

The heavy blade, carrying immense force, tore through the bamboo hat and slammed into the longsword of the man in the bamboo hat.

In an instant, a girl with long, black hair coiled up, narrow eyes and a cold, aloof appearance suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

The longsword in her hand could not withstand the weight and was unable to withstand Chen Jue's merciless slash. The back of the sword rebounded and hit her chest, causing her to be knocked back several meters. There were even signs of a fracture in her sternum.

However, Chen Jue was reckless in his attacks and never had the habit of stopping. After slashing with his sword, he instinctively lunged forward, catching up with the retreating, aloof girl.

The girl was instantly terrified, and as she swept her longsword across the room, six ice spikes formed from true energy were scattered out.

when!

With a flick of his longsword, Chen Jue shattered the six ice spikes that were aimed at his face.

At the same time, he took a step forward, closing the distance by several body lengths, and his left palm struck the girl's chin directly, sending her flying backward with her head tilted back.

Bang!

The girl landed with a dislocated neck, her body stiffened, lying sprawled out, unable to move.

Her eyes were misty as she looked at Chen Jue, who was approaching her with a knife.

This person was far too powerful; without using a single ounce of his true energy, he utterly humiliated her.

He is at least a powerful expert in the late stage of the True Qi Realm.

"Don't look at me with those pitiful eyes. I've tried to persuade you, but you're stubborn and won't listen."

Chen Jue crouched down and reached into the girl's warm bosom.

After carefully searching around, he pulled out three identical tan envelopes.

After looking at them, he returned two of them.

When I looked up at the girl's face, I saw that her eyes were slightly red and about to cry, and she looked broken and desperate.

"Hey, hey, hey!?"

"Am I that scary? We agreed to rob you, not take your life, you have to believe me!"

While making a racket, Chen Jue reached out and pinched the girl's slender, snow-white neck.

A chilling "crack" sound came from his own neck bones.

Just when the girl was in despair and thought she was going to die, control of her body miraculously returned to her.

Chen Jue turned and disappeared quickly into the alleyway.

The aloof girl stood there stunned for a long time before finally touching her neck in disbelief to confirm that her head was still intact.

That scoundrel actually kept even a shred of his word...

……

Chen Jue returned to the alley where he had killed the three people who blocked his way.

In the direction of the black market, a towering green tree, as thick as ten people could hug, had suddenly appeared.

Several streaks of light flew from the inner city, carrying immense power, and crashed into the green energy barrier surrounding the giant tree.

Bang!

The violent energy exploded, causing sand and stones to fly and making it impossible to distinguish people and animals within a radius of several kilometers.

Chen Jue felt a chill run down his spine. He stared at the raging wind and hurried forward, picking up the scattered cloth bags and medicinal herbs before turning and leaving.

"Su Limu! ~ Do you really want to die in Linjiang?!"

A figure flew through the air.

Accompanying him was a giant sword formed from three-colored fire-attribute spiritual energy, which cleaved through the green outer barrier and headed straight for the green tree itself, with heat waves surging like a tidal wave.

"Haha, I, Su, merely happened to be here and revealed my presence. You, a four-hundred-year-old prince about to undergo tribulation, still have such a volatile temper!"

A phantom emerged from the green trees, overcoming the disadvantage of the Three Wood True Qi being suppressed by the Three Fire True Qi, and gathered wood into a forest on the ground to draw away the three-colored flames that were burning towards the green trees.

"How dare you! How dare you, demons and evil spirits, set foot in Linjiang Capital!"

Before the sound even arrived, a Five Elements array diagram descended from the sky.

Suddenly, a beautiful woman dressed in silk and satin flew in from the horizon, stepping on auspicious five-colored clouds and holding a five-colored flower wreath. She was like a fairy queen descending to earth, with a magnificent aura.

"Ouch! Those lackeys of the Five Holy Lands, they really have no martial ethics! They draw their knives the moment they see you!"

The green phantom locked by the Five Elements Formation let out a strange cry, and its figure suddenly transformed into a beam of green light, merging into the green trees behind it.

Hearing the strange cry, Chen Jue, who was rapidly retreating, subconsciously looked back.

However, just one glance was enough to terrify him to death.

It turned out that the towering tree that occupied the office building was oozing green sap, and its trunk was expanding rapidly like an inflating balloon.

"Damn! If you're so fond of self-destruction, you might as well stop calling yourself the Medicine King Cult and start calling yourself the Dynamite Cult—that would suit your character much better!"

Chen Jue inwardly cursed and used "Reversed Blood of the Setting Sun" again to reignite the cooled-down blood and qi in his body.

"Inspectorate! Lay down your weapons and submit to inspection!"

Just as they were about to break out of the old alleyway, a patrol team from the garrison suddenly appeared at the exit and blocked their way.

It seems that Director Wu Yue heard about the incident in the black market and specially sent people to handle the aftermath and recover the losses.

However, their arrival was extremely unfortunate, as there was a real battle between powerful beings behind them. If anything went wrong, the energy would inevitably go berserk, affecting innocent bystanders.

He looked up at the inspection team at the exit.

Out of camaraderie, he intended to warn these people of the danger, but upon looking around...

Hey! Guess what kind of people he saw?

Zhang Yaozu! Zhang San! Zhang Hu! Zhang Qi!

Chen Jue, who had intended to stop, suddenly stomped his foot on the ground, shattering the blue bricks. His body, like a cannonball, crashed into the four members of the Zhang family who were gathered together.

"There's something terrifying going on in the black market! Don't block my way! Get out of my way!"

Clang!

Chen Jue charged forward and suddenly drew his sword, the blade flashing and creating an unstoppable, fierce gust of wind.

"don't want!"

Faced with the oncoming wind of death, the four members of the Zhang family felt their scalps tingle, and their loud pleas for mercy were met only with a merciless, powerful sweep of the blade.

Whoosh!

Blood plasma formed a line and spilled onto the main street outside the old alleyway.

Chen Jue was like a speeding dump truck, unstoppable and unstoppable, rushing straight through the cordon set up by the inspectors and disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Only then did the four severed halves of his body fall to the ground with a miserable howl.

"Quick! Quick! Quick! Call an ambulance! Help us! Help us!"

After Zhang Jia's body was severed and fell to the ground, he called for help from the other patrolmen around him while desperately trying to stuff his protruding blood and intestines back into his stomach. However, he soon lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss.

The other inspectors looked at each other in dismay upon seeing the horrific scene, a chill running down their spines.
