After giving his instructions, Jiang Qingfeng did not linger in East Camp City. He had to hurry back to the Eight Desolations Mountain Range, so he immediately left with his men.

As for Xu Qi and the others, they stayed behind in East Camp City with Jiang Bei and his group to tidy things up.

Once they were done, everyone left East Camp City and returned to the Ren-Rank Camp.

"Jiang Bei, I truly didn't expect that sending you to East Camp City this time would cause such a huge stir. You really... keep bringing me surprises."

On the way back, Xu Qi could not help but sigh.

"Captain, you flatter me. I merely did what I was supposed to do."

Jiang Bei replied calmly.

"From what the Commander said earlier, it seems you'll still have another battle waiting for you once you return to the Ren-Rank Camp."

Xu Qi suddenly recalled something.

"The Commander said that if they're pests, they must be removed."

Jiang Bei said in a low voice.

The last person who had framed him was Liu Kui. By now, grass was probably growing over his grave.

And someone still dared to frame him?

Then they could not blame him!

Inside the Ren-Rank Camp.

At that moment, two figures sat inside a tent, leisurely drinking tea.

"Captain, Lei Tao and the others have been gone to East Camp City for so long and still haven't returned. Could Xie Kaiyue have..."

A man looked worriedly at Yang Ming beside him.

"You mean Xie Kaiyue went on a killing spree and, afraid that the news would leak, killed Lei Tao and Shen Changyang as well?"

Yang Ming said.

"That's right."

The man nodded.

"Don't worry. Probably not. The only person Xie Kaiyue wanted dead was Jiang Bei. Lei Tao and Shen Changyang should be fine."

Yang Ming slowly took a sip of tea and spoke indifferently.

There was another thought he did not voice.

He knew Xie Kaiyue's character well. It was not impossible for him to silence everyone, killing Lei Tao and Shen Changyang along with Jiang Bei before casually pinning the blame on the Barbarians.

But even if that happened, it would not matter.

He understood Xie Kaiyue's ways. Once the job was done, Xie Kaiyue would certainly give him a substantial reward—and Xie Kaiyue was always generous with his money.

Trading Lei Tao and Shen Changyang's lives for a large reward seemed... not entirely unacceptable.

If Lei Tao and the others had not died, then he had still helped Xie Kaiyue by luring Jiang Bei to East Camp City and providing timely intelligence.

Xie Kaiyue would likewise reward him.

At that thought, a cold smile appeared on Yang Ming's lips. No matter the outcome, he would not lose out. He would profit either way!

"Captain, could there be another possibility? What if Xie Kaiyue... failed to kill Jiang Bei and was killed by Jiang Bei instead?"

The man asked uneasily.

"You idiot! Do you even know what you're saying?"

Yang Ming shot him a sidelong glare and cursed, "Xie Kaiyue is an Eighth Rank Great Training warrior. He's killed countless Barbarians, and his strength is terrifying! Even I'm no match for him! Killing a mere Jiang Bei would be as easy as turning his hand! And you think Jiang Bei could kill him? Has your brain rusted over?!"

"This subordinate spoke out of turn!"

The man hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake. Thinking it over carefully, it truly was impossible.

Then he suddenly recalled something. "Right, Captain. Not long ago, after I saw Jiang Bei and his group leave the camp, Xu Qi and his men also seemed to rush out of camp. And the direction they headed in appeared to be East Camp City as well. Could they... have learned something?"

Yang Ming's pupils contracted slightly. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head. "Impossible! How could Xu Qi know anything? He most likely took his men to Yellow Wind Ridge in advance. Yellow Wind Ridge and East Camp City are roughly in the same direction. Stop worrying over nothing."

"Yes!"

The man nodded.

"Drink your tea slowly. Just wait for Jiang Bei's corpse to be carried back from East Camp City. Once Xie Kaiyue sends over the reward, I'll naturally give you a share!"

Yang Ming said with a smile.

The man's eyes immediately lit up, and he repeatedly thanked him. "Thank you, Captain! Thank you, Captain!"

BOOM!!

Just then, a thunderous crash rang out from outside the tent, and a massive wooden pillar shot toward them!

Yang Ming's eyelids twitched. He swiftly twisted aside as the wooden pillar grazed past him and punched straight through the chair behind him!

It was aimed at him!

"Who was that? The nerve!!"

Yang Ming shot to his feet, his face twisted with rage as he prepared to rush out.

Just then, several figures entered from outside.

He immediately spotted Xu Qi among them. But Xu Qi's expression was especially grim at the moment, and Yang Ming promptly asked, "Old Xu, what are you doing? And who threw that wooden post in here? Are they tired of living?"

Xu Qi said nothing. He merely shifted slightly to the side, and then a young man walked in from outside the tent and said, "I threw it."

Yang Ming and the other man immediately turned to look. The moment they saw the young man's face, their eyes widened sharply.

"Jiang... Jiang Bei? Why is it you?!"

Both men's expressions changed drastically.

They had never imagined that Jiang Bei had been the one to throw the wooden post!

Jiang Bei had actually returned alive from East Camp City!

How was that possible?!

"What? Surprised Xie Kaiyue failed to kill me?"

Jiang Bei stepped into the tent. That single step seemed to land directly on Yang Ming's heart.

At the same time, he threw out a sack he had been carrying.

A bloody head rolled out from within!

It belonged to none other than Xie Kaiyue!

"Xie... Xie Kaiyue?!"

Yang Ming's face went pale with fright, and his legs turned weak.

Not only had Xie Kaiyue failed to kill Jiang Bei, he had instead been killed by Jiang Bei!

Xie Kaiyue was an Eighth Rank Great Training warrior!

He was far stronger than Yang Ming. How could this be possible? How had Jiang Bei done it?

Yang Ming's heart pounded wildly. He quickly came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Y-you... what did you just say? I don't understand."

"You don't understand?"

"Then die!!"

Jiang Bei roared as he shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow, moving so fast that the naked eye could barely follow!

Yang Ming was startled. He had never expected a mere Squad Leader like Jiang Bei to dare attack him, a dignified Company Commander!

His reaction was swift, and he threw a punch.

But the instant he struck, Jiang Bei's palms latched onto him at an even faster speed, fiercely gripping his arm.

Then Jiang Bei twisted his body, tightened his stance, and abruptly exerted force with his fingers!

Rip!

"Ahhh—!!"

A shriek as miserable as a pig being slaughtered rang out.

Jiang Bei tore Yang Ming's arm clean off with brute force!

Yang Ming collapsed to the ground in agony, rolling about wildly as blood gushed without stop.

Without hesitation, Jiang Bei stomped on the severed arm and ground it beneath his foot, making Yang Ming feel as if his soul were being torn apart.

Fury blazed in Jiang Bei's eyes, yet he still did not feel appeased.

What he hated most in his life were people who betrayed and framed him. If not for Yang Ming, how could he have drawn Xie Kaiyue's murderous vendetta?

How could he possibly have become enemies with Qin Yang?

It was all because of this beast!

Jiang Bei grabbed Yang Ming by the head and smashed it straight into the table.

Bang!!

The table shattered on the spot, while Yang Ming's head was smashed into the ground, blood pouring from his wounds.

Yet Jiang Bei still did not stop. He seized Yang Ming's head and slammed it down again and again!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One blow after another.

The entire tent shook along with them.

The man who had been drinking tea with Yang Ming earlier had long since gone pale with terror and wet himself.

Even Xu Qi and the others could not bear to watch. They had never expected Jiang Bei's methods to be so ruthless!

But no one pitied Yang Ming. A beast who framed his comrades deserved to be beaten and killed!

In the span of mere moments.

Yang Ming's head was smashed in by Jiang Bei.

Every tooth in his mouth shattered, leaving him in a pitiful state!

Even his speech was slurred!

"Y-you dare kill me? I-I'm the leader of the Second Squad..."

Hearing this, Xu Qi and the others' expressions turned even colder.

Even now, Yang Ming did not think he had done anything wrong.

He still wanted to use his status as squad leader to suppress Jiang Bei!

What he did not know was that Jiang Bei had Commandant Jiang Qingfeng backing and supporting him!

"Squad leader?"

Jiang Bei gave a chilling smile, then his gaze abruptly turned vicious as he slammed a fist into Yang Ming's head.

Bang!!

Yang Ming's head exploded like a watermelon on the spot, red and white splattering everywhere!

With that, the leader of the Second Squad was thoroughly dead!

Jiang Bei slowly straightened up, shook the blood from his hand, then turned and walked out of the tent.

"Quick, clean this up!"

After Jiang Bei left, Xu Qi immediately ordered.

After this incident, the news that Jiang Bei had killed Xie Kaiyue, gained the support of Commandant Jiang Qingfeng, then returned to camp and brutally beat Yang Ming to death spread through Ren-Rank Camp like a tidal wave!

It instantly caused a huge uproar!

No one had expected that Jiang Bei, a soldier who had only returned from Death Squad Camp a few days ago, would possess such ability!

In a single day, he had killed two squad leaders in rage!

Those who had once looked down on Jiang Bei, or even mocked him openly, all hid in their barracks and did not dare come out.

For a time, Jiang Bei's name resounded throughout the camp. Everyone feared him, and no one dared provoke him!

At this moment, Jiang Bei headed to the Merit Hall to register his military merits.

There was only one thing he needed to do now.

Exchange for the Qi and Blood Method!

Then break through to the seventh rank!

And kill Qin Yang!

He knew very well that Qin Yang would never let him off lightly over what had happened in East Camp City today.

Perhaps Qin Yang was already thinking of how to kill him at this very moment!

Although Jiang Qingfeng had said he would protect him, he was currently stationed in the Eight Desolations Mountain Range, burdened with a difficult mission.

Jiang Bei could not place his life in someone else's hands.

All he could do was increase his own strength and swiftly break through to the seventh rank.

Then personally kill Qin Yang—kill that enemy of his!

And he believed that, with the panel, that day would arrive very soon.

After all, he had gained quite a few Merit Points after killing Xie Kaiyue and Yang Ming just now!
