Han Feng Executed! His Name Resounded Across Qingzhou!

Jiang Bei's gaze was as cold as ten thousand years of ice, without the slightest hesitation.

His left hand, pressed against Han Feng's face, suddenly drove downward. Pinning the head that had lost its support from the broken spine, he slammed it into the hard ground with all his strength!

"BANG—!!!"

The tent shook violently, as though it had been struck by a massive cannon!

The hard ground instantly exploded into a deep crater webbed with cracks!

Han Feng's entire head vanished completely. Red and white matter, shattered Bone Fragments, mud, and stones mixed together, bursting into a horrifying, steaming pulp! Only a mutilated, twitching headless body remained beneath the neck!

A deathly silence fell!

Only the drip-drip of thick blood falling onto the dirt remained.

Whether it was Wang Meng and the others or the people Han Feng had brought, all of them were stunned on the spot.

They had never expected that, in the blink of an eye—

Han Feng, a Sixth Rank Lesser Training expert... would be killed outright by Jiang Bei!!

"Y-You've got some nerve! You actually dared to kill Lord Han!!"

"Do you know who Lord Han's elder brother is?! It's Han Qixian, Great General Han, one of the Four Great Generals!!"

One of Han Feng's personal guards was the first to recover from his shock. His eyes split wide with rage as he shrieked, instinctively reaching for his saber.

The other guards' expressions changed drastically as well. Their fury surged to the heavens, and their bodies trembled.

They truly had not expected Jiang Bei, someone who was not even a Commandant, to be this bold!

"Bang!"

Wang Meng stepped forward, his aura surging as he roared with bloodshot eyes, "The one who was bold was Han Feng! He connived with fiends to slaughter the people of our two prefectures and used the lives of my fellow soldiers as bait. Such acts deserve condemnation from both Heaven and man! Under the military law of Great Qian, colluding with the enemy, abetting the enemy, harming fellow soldiers, and bringing disaster upon the local people—which one of these is not a crime warranting the execution of nine generations?! Report this to the Commander-General? Once the Commander-General learns of it, he will surely have him torn into ten thousand pieces!"

Xiong Hai was even more enraged, his beard and hair standing on end as he pointed at that pile of flesh and roared, "That's right! That beast worse than pigs and dogs killed the elders of our Ren-Rank Camp! He killed brothers who lived and died alongside me! He committed such a monstrous blood debt on the territory of my Ren-Rank Camp—even the Heavenly King himself couldn't save him! Lord Jiang killed well! What a satisfying kill!"

Jiang Bei slowly straightened up and shook the blood from his hand, his movements carrying a chilling indifference.

His icy gaze swept over Han Feng's guards, who stood mute with fear and pale-faced. Every word he spoke seemed to have been carved straight out of an ice cave:

"Did you hear that? This blood debt stained the soil of my Ren-Rank Camp. The people killed were men of my Ren-Rank Camp, people under the jurisdiction of my Ren-Rank Camp! No matter whose dog he was, after committing such sins on the land of my Ren-Rank Camp—"

He paused, his voice exploding like thunder. "Then it falls to me to deal with him! Whether he is flayed or killed, whether his dog head is taken, I will be the one to take it with my own hands!"

After those words fell, the guards were left completely speechless, unable to utter a single word for a long while.

It was not merely because Jiang Bei's words were reasonable and well-founded, but because they had been utterly cowed by his overwhelming bearing!

"Throw this beast's corpse out for me!"

Jiang Bei looked at the headless body on the ground and barked coldly.

"Yes!"

Wang Meng and Xiong Hai personally stepped forward.

"Lord Han!"

Seeing this, the guards hurriedly followed them out of the tent.

Then, carrying Han Feng's corpse, they did not dare linger any longer. They immediately left the Ren-Rank Camp and returned to Qingzhou Camp!

"Quick, hurry! Report this to General Han!"

"That Jiang Bei is far too arrogant! General Han will never spare him!"

As they watched the guards carry Han Feng's corpse away, every Ren-Rank Camp soldier who saw the scene was shocked beyond measure.

Just moments ago, after Han Feng arrived at their Ren-Rank Camp, he had acted lofty and overbearing, oppressing them until they scarcely dared breathe.

The moment he entered the camp, he had barged straight into Lord Jiang's Commandant's tent and demanded that all the unit leaders come see him. As for Squad Leaders... he said they were not even qualified to stand before him!

They had been furious at such arrogant behavior, yet they had only dared to be angry in silence. After all, he was a Sixth Rank Lesser Training expert from Qingzhou Camp!

His elder brother was even one of the Four Great Generals!

Who would dare provoke him? Who could afford to provoke him?

When they saw Lord Jiang enter the tent earlier, they had worried for him all the more. Especially after hearing Han Feng's furious tone, they did not dare imagine what kind of wrath Lord Jiang would suffer after entering...

They had been worried sick for Lord Jiang.

But they had never expected that what they would ultimately see was Han Feng's headless corpse being thrown out!

His guards had then carried it straight out of the Ren-Rank Camp!

Han Feng, a Sixth Rank Lesser Training expert, had actually... died!!

As the news spread, word that Han Feng had, for personal gain, caused the deaths of countless civilians and fellow countrymen in Myriad Transformations County—and that Lord Jiang Bei had flown into a rage and executed him on the spot—swept through the entire Ren-Rank Camp like a tidal wave!

Everyone was shocked and delighted. They were horrified that Han Feng had committed such an outrage against Heaven and man, and equally horrified that Lord Jiang had dared to strike directly.

But their greatest joy was that their Ren-Rank Camp had produced a Sixth Rank Lesser Training expert!!

The matter spread swiftly, and as those guards departed with Han Feng's corpse, more and more people heard the news of this incident!

For a time, it caused a tremendous uproar.

This time, Jiang Bei's name was no longer known merely throughout Pingyang Prefecture and Xuanyang Prefecture—it had become known across all of Qingzhou!

"A mere Squad Leader actually dared to kill the younger brother of one of the Four Great Generals. What nerve!"

"Just who is this Jiang Bei? Why had no one ever heard of him before?"

"But this man's strength truly is extraordinary. Who would have thought that such a small Ren-Rank Camp would produce such a hero!"

"What Han Feng did was truly heinous! But now that he has died in the Ren-Rank Camp, his elder brother will likely go mad."

After hearing this news, people throughout Qingzhou discussed it fervently, and the uproar never ceased.

Though they had not known Jiang Bei before, most of them had heard Han Feng's name.

Yet now, he had died at the hands of a mere Squad Leader. How could they not be shocked?

At this moment, within the Ren-Rank Camp.

Xiong Hai wore a worried expression as he looked at Wang Meng beside him and said in a low voice, "Lord Jiang is so powerful that our Ren-Rank Camp can be said to have welcomed new hope. But... what if word of Han Feng's death reaches Qingzhou Camp and his elder brother, Han Qixian, learns of it? Lord Jiang is strong, but he is no match for a great general like Han Qixian! And besides..."

Xiong Hai paused before continuing, "And from what I know, Han Qixian has two younger brothers and is exceedingly protective of each of them. I'm worried..."

"It shouldn't come to that. If the Commander-in-Chief learns of this, he will surely be enraged as well. He would never allow Han Qixian to act recklessly, nor would he punish Lord Jiang. Don't worry."

Wang Meng patted his arm. Though his tone was steady, his eyes flickered slightly.

"But the Commander-in-Chief is currently tied down by powerful enemies and cannot get away at all. He isn't even in the provincial capital. I fear he may be... unable to spare the effort."

Xiong Hai sighed.

"This..."

Wang Meng was immediately left speechless. His brows furrowed tightly, and in the end, he could only sigh. "You're right. Qingzhou's situation is already unstable, especially in Qingzhou Camp, where the Commander-in-Chief and several core generals are all tied down by powerful enemies. Sigh!"

"What are you talking about?"

Just then, a voice came from behind them.

The two turned around and saw Jiang Bei approaching at an unhurried pace.

"Lord Jiang!"

They hastily cupped their fists in salute.

"How is the situation in Pingyang Prefecture and Xuanyang Prefecture now?"

Jiang Bei asked.

"Ever since Lord Jiang made a name for yourself in the battle at Myriad Transformations County and slew five Seventh Rank Lesser Training warriors in succession, the two prefectures have become much calmer. Ordinary Seventh Rank martial artists no longer dare to show themselves and cause trouble so easily."

Xiong Hai hurriedly replied.

"Mm. Keep a close watch. The moment anything happens, report to me immediately."

Jiang Bei said.

"Yes!"

Xiong Hai and Wang Meng cupped their fists and accepted the order.

Jiang Bei turned and left, returning to his barracks and opening the panel once more.

"Seven hundred and eighty Merit Points. I have enough for the other techniques, but it's still not enough to upgrade the Dragon Elephant Subduing Demon Skill..."

"The last upgrade cost 480 points, so the next one should require 960 points. I'm still short by 180!"

Jiang Bei's brows furrowed slightly. Even after killing Han Feng and those members of the Myriad Souls Cult, he was still somewhat short of the Merit Points needed to break through to Sixth Rank Major Refinement.

His desire for strength was undoubtedly extremely intense now.

Batu Feng was still hiding somewhere within the two prefectures and could appear at any time. There was also the Myriad Souls Ancestor Han Feng had mentioned. Although he might have already retreated to his lair, no one could say for certain what the situation was. If he failed to follow the usual course of events and suddenly entered the territory, that was not impossible either.

He had no choice but to stay on guard!

Not to mention, there was also Han Qixian!

That was not someone he could handle at his current level.

Yet he did not regret it in the slightest. He only knew that if he had not killed Han Feng in that tent, he would have failed the people of Myriad Transformations County who had died, failed Ling Rui, Zhang Feng, and all those fallen soldiers!

Han Qixian was powerful, but he had the panel. Before long, he would become strong enough that he would no longer need to fear Han Qixian!

His most urgent task now was to keep earning Merit Points and break through to sixth-rank Major Refinement as soon as possible!

"Where can I get Merit Points?"

Jiang Bei pondered in silence.

For now, within the lands of the two prefectures, whether it was the barbarian tribes or those ambitious forces, they had all temporarily reined themselves in.

He made a rough plan in his heart: tomorrow, he would continue patrolling the two prefectures. If he encountered an enemy, he would kill them.

The next day.

Just as Jiang Bei was preparing to leave camp and patrol the lands of the two prefectures—

Wang Meng returned with earth-shattering news—

"Lord Jiang! Batu Feng has appeared!"

Batu Feng!

The barbarian leader who had broken through to sixth-rank Minor Refinement in the Eight Desolations Mountain Range, severely wounded Jiang Qingfeng, and killed a captain from their Ren-Rank Camp.

After leaving the Eight Desolations Mountain Range, the man had vanished without a trace!

And now, he had suddenly shown himself!

"Excellent!!"

A chilling murderous intent flashed through Jiang Bei's eyes.

He had been worrying over the lack of Merit Points to break through to sixth-rank Major Refinement, and worrying that he could not find an opportunity to eliminate this grave threat.

At last, he had shown himself!

"Quick, tell me! Where is he now?!"

Jiang Bei hurriedly asked.
