Hai Yuqing looked solemn, with sweat slowly dripping from his forehead.

The Da Tai Divine Dynasty governs the country with military force, and most of the officials appointed and appointed are warriors of a high level.

And Hai Yuqing, who once entered the core area of ​​the Da Tai Divine Dynasty, is naturally not a weak person.

He has entered the third realm for seven years. His blood and energy are extremely vigorous, and he is only one step away from the fourth realm of transcendence.

But just like the huge gap between foundation building and golden elixir, such a step has stopped countless talented people.

Some warriors are stuck at the border between the third and fourth realms for decades, unable to advance an inch throughout their lives, and because of their age, their Qi and blood weaken, making it impossible for them to condense a pill. Unlike the situation where spiritual power becomes deeper as it accumulates, the average lifespan of warriors is shorter than that of monks, and when the body ages, the Qi and blood will weaken instead.

Therefore, warriors are only at their peak during their youth and prime years, when it is easiest for them to break through to a new level.

If Hai Yuqing had broken through to the fourth level, he probably wouldn't have been exiled to a place like Baoqi County.

And now, the hidden aura in front of him made him feel strongly threatened.

"The fourth realm?"

Hai Yuqing narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, "I haven't even entered the county yet, and you can't help it?"

He remained calm on the surface and said, "If you have anything to say, why don't you just say it directly? Why are you being so secretive?"

"happy!"

"I heard that County Magistrate Hai is a straightforward person. After meeting him today, I found that he is indeed the case."

The powerful Condensed Core Master hiding in the forest laughed loudly: "Then I will be frank. I have always been very curious about the Divine Dynasty's appointment documents. County Magistrate Hai, can you send the documents to me for a look? When I have read them enough, I will return them naturally."

"I wonder...what does County Magistrate Hai think?"

When Ah Tian heard this, his expression immediately turned ugly and he shouted angrily, "How dare you!"

"How dare you snatch the documents of the Divine Dynasty's official!"

The Condensation Pill expert sneered: "Haha, I've already said that I'm just borrowing it for a look, how can you call it stealing?"

"My dear friend, please do not confuse right and wrong."

Hai Yuqing couldn't help but look pale, with grief and anger flashing in his eyes.

It is not difficult to guess that this was the work of some people in Baoqi County who did not want him to take office.

Once the appointment document was lost, Hai Yuqing would not be able to prove his identity. Even if it was returned afterwards, it would be a great shame and humiliation for a warrior, and his prestige would inevitably suffer a severe blow.

If he can't even keep the documents, how can the people below believe that Hai Yuqing can enforce the rules?

In this way, if Hai Yuqing wants to re-establish this authority, he can only cooperate with those people in the county and become corrupt, just like the previous county magistrate.

In the blink of an eye, Hai Yuqing saw through the other party's intention and sighed in his heart: "What a show of power!"

However, this is a naked conspiracy.

It was useless for Hai Yuqing to see through it. The other party was just relying on his cultivation level of the fourth realm to bully him, who was at the third realm.

The gap in strength does exist.

But Hai Yuqing was unwilling to just hand over the document, so he said: "If you want to see it, you can come and get it in person. I will not stop you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a surge of warning signs in his intuition, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

There seemed to be a cold murderous intent in the air.

Hai Yuqing stared in front of him and saw a thin figure wearing a bamboo hat walking out of the woods slowly.

He clearly did not feel any energy or blood from the other party, but he felt a strong sense of crisis.

"As expected of the fourth realm..."

When the man in the bamboo hat was about to approach him, Hai Yuqing suddenly threw out a burning talisman.

A powerful wave of spiritual energy suddenly erupted and swept towards the man in the bamboo hat.

"Humph!"

The man snorted coldly, stretched out his big hand, and the cold spiritual power surged out, transforming into several transparent long snakes, which kept biting and gnawing at the talisman, and easily took on the spell.

But when he looked up again, Hai Yuqing and the servant had disappeared.

Seeing this, the man did not panic, but said coldly: "You escaped very quickly."

Behind him, several warriors with black clothes and black cloths covering their faces walked out.

One of them asked a little uneasily.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

The venomous man smiled grimly: "Don't worry, they can't escape."

******

In the mountains and forests.

Hai Yuqing carried the servant on his shoulders and ran wildly all the way. His movements were extremely light and his feet landed on the ground without even leaving a shallow pit.

This was a skill he had mastered that allowed him to move quickly and easily, and it was perfect for escaping.

Even so, Hai Yuqing still did not let down his guard and looked back from time to time.

Ah Tian on his back couldn't help but ask: "Master, who are they?"

"Do you still need to ask?"

Hai Yuqing said with a hint of sarcasm: "All warriors in the fourth realm are under the control of the government, and the freest warriors in the fourth realm in the world are naturally the people of the Zhenling Division themselves."

Ah Tian couldn't believe it: "What!? Even the Zhenling Division..."

"Don't think too highly of the Zhenling Division. There are all kinds of people there."

At this time, Hai Yuqing's face changed again: "Oh no, they are catching up!"

******

After escaping from the enemy several times and being caught up again, Hai Yuqing was shocked to find something.

From the beginning, he seemed to have been wandering around in the mountains and forests of Black Tiger Ridge.

No matter how he escapes, he will be caught up by those men in black.

"Could it be..."

Hai Yuqing, sweating profusely and gradually losing strength, frowned and his mood sank to the bottom.

He had only heard of this method from his colleagues. It seemed to be called a "magic circle". Those who fell into it would be difficult to detect it, and they could not escape unless the center of the circle was destroyed.

"County Magistrate Hai, do you still want to escape?"

A sinister voice came from the man in the bamboo hat, and several men in black appeared from the woods.

A siege network has already been set up.

"If you had handed in the paperwork earlier, you wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."

Hai Yuqing looked at him coldly: "It is because of treacherous villains like you that my Great Tai Dynasty has become so corrupt!"

Hearing this, the man in the bamboo hat finally flashed a trace of anger in his eyes: "County Magistrate Hai, you are so noble! You are amazing!"

"But now... aren't you in my hands?"

The man in the bamboo hat walked towards Hai Yuqing step by step, determined to teach him a lesson he would never forget.

At this moment, a long howl suddenly came from the nearby forest.

The whistling sound pierced the sky, startling all the birds in the forest.

Countless monsters looked around in panic, and the entire Black Tiger Ridge became restless in an instant.

The man in the bamboo hat looked slightly changed and looked in the direction of the howling sound: "This is..."

Hai Yuqing couldn't help but look sideways.

"Such a strong blood and energy!"

A warm feeling blew onto his cheeks along with the breeze.

The raging burning current seemed to boil the air, making everyone feel like every breath was burning their lungs.

Even the qi and blood in their bodies began to stir under the heat.

In the eyes of everyone present, a young man in green clothes walked out of the woods slowly.

He was three meters tall, and his face was covered with a mask made of unknown material.

After the young man appeared, the branches and leaves of the nearby trees turned visibly yellow and bent, and all the moisture evaporated.

The ground beneath his feet kept cracking and seemed to be melting under the high temperature.

Just standing there, this person looked like the sun falling from the sky, making people feel like they couldn't look directly at him.

Hai Yuqing's eyes widened: "Fourth level!?"

This level of strength of Qi and blood can only be attributed to a warrior at the fourth level.

It was hard for Hai Yuqing not to be surprised.

Normally, warriors at the fourth level are extremely rare, but in this small Black Tiger Ridge, there were actually two of them?

The man in the bamboo hat had a gloomy expression on his face: "How come a fourth level person suddenly appeared?"

Baoqi County is only this big a place, and all the warriors in the fourth realm should be registered by the Zhenling Division, but the person in front of him is someone he has never seen before.

This person will naturally be at peace.

But now, he has to act in an identity different from that of the old immortal Wuxu.

"Who is making noise here?"

Anle spoke softly, her voice was leisurely and clear, which easily made people feel good about her.

Seeing this, Hai Yuqing immediately shouted: "Senior, save me!"

"I am the new magistrate of Baoqi County, and this man wants to harm me!"

"Please help me, senior! I will reward you with a generous gift after the task is completed!"

Hai Yuqing didn't dare to reveal the identity of the man in the bamboo hat directly, for fear that he would be enraged and kill people to silence him.

Anle pretended to be surprised: "Is this true?"

The man in the bamboo hat's eyes flickered several times. He could see that the young man's martial arts skills were extraordinary, and he was indeed afraid of him.

But when he thought about how he had spent so much effort to show Hai Yuqing his power, only to end up returning empty-handed, he couldn't help but feel unwilling.

"This person is most likely just a newly promoted fourth level, which is why he can't control his qi and blood well."

"Plus, his attainments in spiritual power are almost zero. With my accumulation over the past few years of breaking through the realm, my strength is definitely higher than his."

"Why not try him first."

Thinking of this, the man in the bamboo hat no longer hesitated and walked towards Anle with a smile.

"I didn't expect to see someone like you in such a remote place..."

Halfway through his words, the man's hands were like two poisonous snakes without bones, piercing Anle's vital points at an extremely tricky angle.

At the same time, a cold and strange spiritual energy hissed, as if there was the sound of scales rubbing against each other.

Several long snakes made of spiritual power climbed up along Anle's body and were about to pierce his flesh.

Anle looked at it and couldn't help shaking his head in his heart: "What a crude spell."

After being accustomed to seeing the Taoist magic performed by Nascent Soul cultivators such as Zhang Haiyun and Jiang Yun, looking back at the magic of the man from the Zhenling Division was like seeing toys for children to play with, and they were extremely low-quality and unscrupulous products, rough and crude.

There seems to be a technological gap between the two, and the gap is not just a little bit.

"You are such a sly trick, and you dare to embarrass yourself?"

Anle shouted softly, and his body expanded again, reaching five meters in height.

The surging energy and blood spread out, and the scorching wind even caused blisters and burns on the man's body.

He didn't even need to use his spiritual power. His unparalleled masculine energy and blood broke free from the entanglement of the long snakes and tore them apart with unreasonable violence.

The man exclaimed: "How could it be!?"

This is a spell he has carefully studied for several years, called "Ten Thousand Snakes Devouring the Heart".

If an ordinary warrior was caught off guard, he would definitely be injured by the spirit snake and infected by its sinister spiritual power. But now, it was actually broken so easily?
