Triple Kill

Wu Fei gripped a Bintie Long Spear and strode toward Song Changming.

Song Changming locked his gaze on him at once.

Before taking action, he had thoroughly prepared his intelligence.

He recognized the man at a glance. He was one of the Nine Leaders, his personal martial prowess surpassing that of the society's core members.

"I'll handle him. Stop the others," Song Changming told the Patrol Guard Team beside him. Fearless, he headed straight for Wu Fei.

"Boy, die!" Wu Fei roared. With both hands, he thrust out his spear like a dragon, stabbing straight at Song Changming's face.

Song Changming blocked the spearhead with his saber. His left toe tapped the ground lightly, and he spun like a top around the shaft, closing in on Wu Fei.

Wu Fei took a large step back, withdrew his spear, then swept it at Song Changming's lower body.

Song Changming raised his saber to parry again. Wu Fei was strong, but Song Changming's Bull Strength was even more extraordinary.

The two exchanged moves, and sparks flew the instant they clashed.

Wu Fei's spear technique was formidable as well, blossoming into lotuses in the air. His offense and defense were both flawless.

In terms of strength, he was certainly no weaker than a Patrol Captain from the Patrol Guard Headquarters. Compared with Lu Gang, Zhu Bairen, Zhang Sihai, and the like, he was only stronger.

But today, he had run into Song Changming!

After testing each other for a while, Song Changming stopped holding back. He tightened his grip on the hilt, unleashing his Body Refinement Cultivation and displaying the strength of two oxen!

After several slashes, Wu Fei's footing began to falter, as if he could barely withstand the blows.

His chest felt stifled from the battering. He had not expected this boy to grow stronger the longer they fought, with such astonishing force.

Another slash grazed past his brow, leaving a shallow bloody mark on his forehead.

Wu Fei's face was filled with lingering terror as he panted heavily and retreated again and again.

Seeing Song Changming press his advantage without mercy, he suddenly thrust out an incomparably swift Horse-Turning Spear at a tricky angle and perfect moment.

Song Changming leaped up, his toe landing precisely atop the incoming spearhead. Borrowing the force, he brushed past Wu Fei's side.

The saber spun several times in his palm, like a bird spreading its wings. In a flash, it swept across Wu Fei's head, and when Song Changming landed, it was firmly back in his grasp.

Wu Fei stood frozen in place, half his head sliced away.

He had just circled the gates of hell and had not even had time to celebrate his escape before ending up inside after all.

He had barely evaded the Soul Severing Saber's relentless pursuit, yet he had failed to guard against Song Changming's suddenly shifting Flying Swallow Style.

Thus, he died beneath the blade of the young Patrol Captain he had always looked down upon.

Those who did not know Song Changming assumed he had risen through the ranks by relying on the New Director's connections, that he was merely a lucky greenhorn. Little did they know that Song Changming's martial ability was far from ordinary.

"He's dead! Brother Wu is dead!"

The core society members who witnessed this scene were utterly panicked. They too had thought Song Changming would be the easiest of the Patrol Captains to handle, yet even Wu Fei, the society's Master Spear Technique, had died by this man's hand.

When Song Changming looked their way, they could not help but think of fleeing. But Song Changming's Patrol Guard Team soon caught up and slaughtered most of them.

Song Changming then looked to the other side. Amid the chaotic melee, of the other two Patrol Guard Teams that should have arrived alongside him, only Zhu Bairen's team had appeared.

Qian Wen's team had yet to show up. Whether they had run into trouble or were making their own calculations, he did not know.

But even without Qian Wen's team, the situation had once again tipped in their favor.

Especially after Wu Fei's death, no one from the Nine Bends Society could deal with Song Changming when he arrived.

Song Changming showed no mercy. Like a wolf among sheep, he led his team forward in an unstoppable push. Ordinary society members fell after a single exchange before him.

Suddenly, a Xuanhua Axe blocked Song Changming's path.

"I'm Fu Lu Lai, the man sending you to see King Yama!"

The burly man swung his heavy Xuanhua Axe, his attacks rolling in like ever-rising waves. It collided with Song Changming's saber, sending sparks flying. In terms of strength forged through Body Refinement Cultivation, he was not much weaker than Song Changming. The Xuanhua Axe howled through the air with ferocious force.

For a moment, even Song Changming was driven back several steps.

But Song Changming quickly adjusted and engaged him with the Soul Severing Saber.

His saber strikes were exceedingly fast, stirring up a Yinfeng. His blade paths were elusive and difficult to follow.

Though the broad, sweeping Xuanhua Axe was fierce, it could not remain watertight.

Before long, Song Changming's saber force tore open flaws in his defense, leaving wound after wound across his body.

"Save me!" Fu Lu Lai promptly lost his nerve and directly called for Outside Aid, showing none of the embarrassment of having just made bold threats only to be swiftly beaten.

At a life-or-death moment, staying alive was what truly mattered.

On the other side, another Leader nearby saw this and immediately drew his saber to come to his aid.

A battlefield was not a Duel Match. Ganging Up was perfectly normal.

Jiang Chunzi was frantic. He gave it everything he had, hacking down the society members before him as he tried to stop the charging Leader.

But his strength was lacking. After several exchanges, the Leader slashed him down and wounded him.

Had Fu Lu Lai not also been in dire peril, he could have taken Jiang Chunzi's life on the spot.

Yet it was precisely Jiang Chunzi's brief delay that allowed Song Changming, before that Leader could encircle him, to cut off Fu Lu Lai's arm holding the Xuanhua Axe with one slash, then kill him with another.

His fine head flew several meters away!

Blood splattered across Song Changming's Helmet and Hat and one side of his cheek.

The Leader who had just rushed over was horrified at the sight. He knew the strength of Fu Lu Lai and Wu Fei, yet both had fallen to this boy today.

Such a record left him without confidence to fight.

Just as he wanted to retreat and seek out his elder brother Zhu Changyi, Song Changming's blood-stained eyes locked onto him again.

"Take Chunzi out!" Song Changming ordered. He pushed off with his feet and, aided by his Light Body Technique, leaped several meters as though riding the wind. In two swift bounds, he caught up to the man.

Both were skilled with the saber, but in a contest of blade technique, the other man was ultimately a notch inferior.

Moreover, Song Changming had now fought himself into a killing state. Murderous intent boiled throughout his body, and his saber force was irresistible.

Blade light flashed as his strikes became faster and faster.

Within only a few breaths, the two had exchanged twenty or thirty moves.

Then—

"Big Brother!"

Song Changming knocked the Leader's saber away. In his panic, the man only had time for one final shout before Song Changming beheaded him, making him another soul beneath the blade.

Another Nine Bends Society Leader had fallen!

In the distance, Zhou Sixin was still fiercely battling the Scarface expert.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that although Zhou Sixin had not yet lost, he was clearly at a disadvantage and could no longer even maintain an even match.

At this rate, if they fought another hundred or two hundred exchanges, Zhou Sixin would likely be in grave danger.

But at that moment, Scarface's attacks suddenly slowed somewhat.

As he dealt with Zhou Sixin, he still had the spare attention to observe the entire battlefield.

He had now realized that there was no way to cut through these Patrol Guards and had begun to consider leaving.

"I never imagined that a mere Urban Patrol Guard Headquarters could possess such strength. As expected of the Prefecture City of Donglai Commandery!"
