Chapter 108: Chapter 92: A Thousand Steps with One Breath! The Might of the Qi Refining Realm!

Boom!

Lin Yan swung his long saber!

The crimson saber light surged to meet the attack!

At this moment, due to the effect of the Heavenly Sun Divine Pill, he displayed extremely powerful vitality.

But at this very moment, the red spear, without any hesitation, directly pierced through the crimson saber light!

The saber light suddenly dissipated!

The spear headed straight for Lin Yan’s chest!

"A warrior above the Refining Essence Realm!"

Lin Yan’s heart trembled as he saw the Jiao Linma transform into a streak of silver light, suddenly arriving and knocking him aside!

Boom!!!

The spear struck the ground!

Dust rose, and gravel flew everywhere!

A huge, deep pit appeared on the ground, about three steps wide, bottomless and fiercely hot!

Seeing this, Lin Yan’s expression changed abruptly.

Just then, the Jiao Linma let out a long cry and looked over.

Immediately, Lin Yan did not hesitate, mounting the horse.

The horse, like a streak of light, suddenly surged forward, kicking up a gale.

"Who dares to steal the mount of this Great Commander?"

Two thousand steps away, a tall figure approached with thunderous strides, shouting angrily.

Clad in heavy armor, yet his speed was unimpeded, he charged ferociously.

He held a great spear in his hand, its edge bitterly cold.

Great Commander Yuan Tongye of the Left City Guard Army.

"Great Commander Yuan, this man has murdered the Colonel in broad daylight, capture him quickly!"

An official from the Outer South Government Office shouted from afar.

Listening to the voice, Yuan Tongye’s eyes sharpened, and he saw the beheaded and bisected Colonel Wang Yuan.

In an instant, his expression changed drastically, his demeanor icy.

Even though Wang Yuan was not his confidant, he was after all the Colonel of the Outer South Government Office in High Willow City.

Although he was reluctant to see Wang Yuan involved with the Left City Guard Army, at the very least, from today onward, Wang Yuan had officially been the Deputy Commander of the Left City Guard Army.

"Great Commander, there is an issue with Wang Yuan," shouted a young officer from afar.

"Light the beacon smoke, close the gates!"

Yuan Tongye’s face was icy, and without hesitation, he rushed forward.

In an instant, he was gone like the wind, stirring up swirling dust.

Only his voice remained echoing in the area.

"First capture this man, discuss the rest later!"

"..."

The two Deputy Generals exchanged glances, sighing involuntarily.

There must certainly be issues with Wang Yuan!

Before the other party murdered Wang Yuan, he had already clarified the reasons.

However, according to the newly revised laws, regardless of what issues Wang Yuan had, without a trial, he was not a criminal!

This person attacked the current Colonel of the Outer South Government Office, Deputy Commander of the Left City Guard Army, and the recipient of the Green Phoenix Seal—a confirmed fact!

What’s more, Wang Yuan had now received recognition from Qifeng Prefecture City and had been awarded the Green Phoenix Seal.

This person murdered Wang Yuan in the street, violating the newly revised laws, and blatantly challenging the authority of Qifeng Prefecture City!

"This person is young with exceptional skills, a truly extraordinary talent; if he surrenders, having high-profile individuals vouch for him might spare him from death."

"Unfortunately, Wang Yuan had a powerful backing; moreover, since the Great Commander wants the Jiao Linma, he will surely not hold back his lethal force!"

"You are too young; the Great Commander wants more than just the Jiao Linma," said the middle-aged officer with a sudden laugh, before he quickly added, "No need for further discussion, light the beacon smoke!"

—

Outer South City Gate.

Today, Colonel Meng Lu was on duty, with four men beside him, appearing frail and weak, indeed his soldiers.

"Colonel Meng, beacon smoke has been lit up ahead, it’s time to close the city gate."

"Can the city gate even be closed?" Meng Lu tilted his head and asked, "Li Yang Trade Company, with insidious intentions, has likely compromised the construction of this city gate; go find the problem."

"Understood!"

The four exchanged glances, nodding silently.

They had originally been unhealed from injuries, lying in their sickbeds.

But when Colonel Meng found them, he only spoke a few words.

Someone handed over a life-saving item to us, avoiding the calamity of the deceptive lantern.

Now, we must lend our strength to this task, which may cost us our careers. Consider this carefully, and those willing to accompany me, join me on duty today!

So, they came.

"..."

Colonel Meng stood before the city gate, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.

His injuries, in fact, had not fully healed, but the reward from the City Guard Mansion had helped him recover a great deal.

The funeral procession for Great Commander Zhao Zhou was destined for Liu Zun Temple today, and thus all the brothers in city defense wished to attend the funeral.

Since he had volunteered for duty today, naturally, no one stopped him.

He closed his eyes slightly, remembering what Master had said earlier.

"The Great Commander’s demise involves secrets; today, one will strike down the real culprit, revealing the truth."

"This mission will be extremely dangerous, but if this person miraculously survives, he will surely be hunted by influential figures from all sides."

"If he manages to escape, he will head out through the proper south city gate."

"Your duty today might provide him a slim chance of survival."

"But afterward, you will face severe consequences, with a bleak future."

"Probably in the future, you, this Colonel, will only be able to serve as a minor banner officer at Linjiang Station."

"Consider this matter yourself!"

Remembering this conversation, Meng Lu chuckled.

He stood somewhat straighter, thinking to himself, "Master still underestimates others; why even consider this?"

He looked ahead, only to see a streak of silver light, arriving in an instant, stirring up a fierce wind.

Stalls on both sides were toppled by the fierce wind.

Doors of shops on both sides swung open.

Following that streak of silver light, a gust of wind swept through, with an iron-clad stalwart in close pursuit.

As the iron-clad stalwart gathered strength, he pointed his long spear.

A beam of spear light instantly condensed, shooting forth like a swift arrow, crossing thousands of steps in distance.

Although the Jiao Linma fled swiftly, it still couldn’t outpace the spear light.

Lin Yan, prepared for this, turned around with a swing of his saber.

The crimson saber light immediately slashed forward!

Yet it still wasn’t as sharp as the spear light and was instantly scattered.
