If you don't bring disaster to the world, what kind of henchman are you to be?

Pfft!

The long sword swung down, and a head fell to the ground.

The body was quickly dumped off the stage, and the surrounding crowd pounced on it like hungry wolves, each taking what they wanted.

[Attribute value +5]

Looking at the subtitles that appeared in front of him, Zhu Qing was very satisfied, and then continued to strike with his knife.

[Attribute value +5]

[Attribute value +6]

……

Those White Lotus Sect members who were publicly beheaded by the Six Doors were at least minor leaders, and were mostly at least at the Body Refinement Realm.

Only in this way can the deterrent effect be sufficient.

This also benefited Zhu Qing, who gained a considerable amount of attribute points with each swift stroke of his blade.

Just as it was Qiao Manyue's turn, several sharp whooshing sounds suddenly came from the sky!

At the same time, the crowd below the stage became chaotic, and many martial artists unleashed their auras.

Zhu Qing stood still, his cold gaze sweeping around.

Ding Ding!

The blade flashed.

Qi Yunfei, Qian Wei, and others rushed to his side and cut down all the cold arrows.

"Aaaaaah!"

The crowd erupted in chaos.

"Help! Help!"

"The White Lotus Cult has stormed the execution ground!"

The executioner was so frightened that he fell to the ground, screaming at the top of his lungs.

Then, a shirtless, burly man twisted off his head, tossed it aside, and spat out a mouthful of phlegm.

"Corrupt official!"

After saying that, he suddenly drew two snowflake-shaped battle axes from his waist and charged fiercely at Zhu Qing.

Qiao Manyue, sprawled on the wooden stake, laughed maniacally, "Hahahaha! You surnamed Zhu, you're going to die today!"

Zhu Qing remained unfazed. With a flash of lightning, his thunderous blade cleaved the bare-chested man in two at the waist.

Blood splattered in the air, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

[Thunder Blade Technique +1]

[Attribute value +5]

"Leave no survivors."

"I killed my enemy, who was also at the mid-stage of the Body Refinement realm, with a single strike," Zhu Qing said coldly.

"yes!"

In the blink of an eye, the Northern Garrison and the Ministry of War mobilized and engaged in a fierce battle with these White Lotus Sect heretics.

Zhu Qing stood beside Qiao Manyue, his blood-stained longsword like the fangs of a ferocious beast, tearing apart those who rushed forward to try to rescue him.

"Kill him!"

"This lackey killed so many of our brothers, kill him!"

"That damned corrupt official!"

……

Zhu Qing, who had killed countless people, suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Come on, come on."

He stepped on Qiao Manyue's head, looking down at the menacing demons below.

At the same time, Zhu Qing suddenly noticed that many more enemies had sprung out from the surrounding alleys. They were all agile and skilled fighters, numbering more than twenty.

Especially not far away, there was a burly man with a strong build, wearing leather armor, whose aura was particularly heavy; he could crush a person into a bloody pulp with a single palm strike.

This one man alone routed the government troops, who were no different from paper in his presence.

This is... the Blood Burning Realm!

Zhu Qing felt a chill run down his spine; the aura emanating from this burly man was undoubtedly that of the Blood Burning Realm.

This is a true master.

Swish!

Just as he was frowning, the sound of a sword ringing out suddenly came from behind him!

Zhu Qing had no time to dodge. He held the long sword in reverse behind his back and blocked the sword with a clang.

The force was heavy, clearly at the level of flesh refinement.

Zhu Qing glanced to the side and saw a woman dressed in yellow behind him, with narrow eyes and a flat nose, her eyes filled with a particularly fierce look.

"Get your dirty feet off Miss Joe!"

The woman raised her hand and swung her sword again, the sword energy sharp and biting. Zhu Qingsui dodged to the side, but a bloody gash was still left on his shoulder.

However, it was just a minor injury, nothing serious, and a Thunder Blade Technique swept out!

Bang!

The lightning blade's speed and the sheer power of its energy combined to create an extremely ferocious attack, sending the woman flying several meters away in a single exchange.

whoosh whoosh~

She staggered to her feet, the sword vibrating and humming incessantly, and she felt as if her hand holding the sword was breaking.

How could that strike be so powerful?

Her eyes widened in horror. She had previously assumed that Zhu Qing was just an ordinary cultivator at the Body Refinement Realm, which was why she had mingled into the battle to launch a sneak attack.

All that's needed is to behead him and rescue Qiao Manyue; those two achievements will be enough to propel her to great heights within the sect.

But to everyone's surprise, the imperial henchmen's swordsmanship was so exquisite!

Before she could even regret it, Zhu Qing had already rushed forward and slashed down with his sword!

Having witnessed the power of his swordsmanship, the woman abandoned her underestimation of him and tried to dodge.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qing was only feinting; his real purpose was to suddenly extend a finger and strike her Zhangmen acupoint.

[Jade-Destroying Finger +1]

Uh!

With a flick of his finger, the woman let out a muffled groan, her body contorting like a boiled shrimp as she collapsed to the ground in agony.

"ah!!"

She screamed incessantly, struggling to breathe due to the excruciating pain from her broken ribs and ruptured spleen, her facial features contorted beyond recognition.

"...Destroy, destroy the jade fingers..."

"You... ah~~"

She looked at Zhu Qing in horror, her teeth breaking from the pain.

In terms of cultivation level, she has the ability to exchange a few blows with Zhu Qing.

However, the sudden injury to her acupoints caused her to plummet to rock bottom. Forget about fighting; even the slightest movement was excruciatingly painful.

Zhu Qing, too lazy to waste words, drew his knife and beheaded him.

[Attribute value +5]

After killing the woman, he turned to look at Du Meng.

That's the real raging flood.

By this time, Du Meng had fought his way onto the stage, his body covered in blood and flesh, looking like a god of war who had emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

He stomped his foot, causing the entire platform to shake violently, and cracks spread rapidly. In an instant, the atmosphere became as heavy as a mountain.

Zhu Qing used her flying goose technique to rise up and avoid the attack in time.

"Oh."

"Die, you son of a bitch..."

Du Meng let out a cold sneer, but was suddenly stopped in his tracks by a cold sword aura, and his roar came to an abrupt halt.

Zhu Qing looked at the scratches at his feet, which were covered with frost and the coldness could be clearly felt even from a distance.

"withdraw!"

Before he could react, Du Meng seemed to suddenly realize something and shouted.

"trap!"

"Retreat immediately!"

The sound was as loud as thunder, and all the White Lotus Sect members looked surprised.

But it was too late.

Suddenly, a large number of armored soldiers and armed constables emerged from the surrounding streets, completely surrounding the area.

The windows of the buildings on both sides were wide open, with more than a dozen crossbows sticking out, and people guarding the eaves, making it extremely secure.

"Close the net."

"Leave no one alive."

A cold shout rang out, and Zhu Qing looked in the direction of the sound. The newcomer was a woman dressed in the uniform of a constable, with a neutral and aloof beauty. She was tall and held two swords.

The left sword was fiery red, while the right sword was icy white; the two completely different auras of heat and cold coexisted as one.

Zhan Liangyu, the top female constable of the Six Doors.

"I never expected that she would be the one to close the net this time."

Zhu Qing was slightly surprised.

In fact, Xu Lai had already informed him from the palace last night that this public execution of the White Lotus Sect was actually a battleground set up for the enemy.

The execution by Zhu Qing and other officers was merely a formality; the real force in catching the thieves was the elite of the Six Doors.

Based on the current situation, the plan is progressing relatively smoothly.

Now that the people from the Six Doors had arrived, Zhu Qing decided to stay out of it and focus on recovering her strength while observing the battle.

"Damn bitch!"

Seeing that Zhan Liangyu was blocking his way, Du Meng pulled out two pumpkin hammers from his waist, cursed, and pounced on him fiercely.
