Outside the main hall of the Suppression Bureau, two figures were locked in combat, the air vibrating with their power. Their fists and feet were of the highest caliber.
Their battle raged across nearly a hundred meters, filling the surrounding Imperial Guards with awe and forcing them to scatter.
Ye Ronghuo's face was etched with fear, and he retreated to the very back of the crowd, afraid that Su Changqing might seize an opportunity to shatter his head with a single punch.
Both of them possessed great strength; every punch, every kick, was capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks!
"You insignificant junior, you are merely at the Xiantian Second Layer, and you dare to wrestle with me?"
Tai Long roared furiously, the Yangtze River Three Waves striking again. His fist whistled through the air, smashing towards Su Changqing's body.
His fist, like iron and stone, surged with True Qi, wave after wave of power, enough to crush any in the Xiantian Realm.
"Enough with the nonsense! Take my Frost Snow!" Su Changqing's eyes were indifferent as he drew the Frost Snow Saber.
He held the Frost Snow Saber horizontally, ice crystals blooming around it, exuding a chilling aura.
A cold glint erupted, and he slashed down with immense force.
The saber energy was blinding, its power unmatched.
"Overlord Saber?!"
Tai Long's expression changed drastically. He retracted his fist, stood his ground, and condensed pale golden True Qi around his body. He stumbled back several steps with a muffled groan, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"Take this!"
Su Changqing stepped forward, crossing several meters in an instant.
Blinding saber energy swirled around him. Today, he didn't mind killing this Commander of the Suppression Bureau.
Facing this saber energy, Tai Long retreated rapidly, his gaze filled with terror.
This scene left the thousands of Imperial Guards stunned, frozen in place.
Wasn't Su Changqing only a Deputy Commander? How could he fight Commander Tai to such a standstill?
How could Ye Tian even be compared to him?
"Junior, let's call it a day. Do you dare to kill me?" Tai Long said coldly.
Su Changqing remained silent, his steps swift, the ice crystals of Frost Snow blinding.
Jin Yichuan and Zuo Qianhu were watching from afar. If he acted today, killing Tai Long would be the end of it all!
Overlord Saber, Death God Slash!
Blinding golden light erupted. Su Changqing's strength was more than enough to crush Tai Long, let alone a divine weapon like Frost Snow.
Tai Long's expression changed drastically. He couldn't block this saber; it would surely cleave his body open.
A slash tore through the sky, slicing through Tai Long's Flying Fish Robe. His Xiantian True Qi scattered like reflections in a mirror.
Blood splattered. Tai Long desperately shifted his body, but he was almost cut in half by the saber.
A deep, bone-revealing gash appeared on his right arm, and crimson blood dripped from his limb onto the ground.
The bloody scene sent a chill down everyone's spines.
If Tai Long hadn't possessed Xiantian True Qi and Innate Divine Strength, he would have surely died by Su Changqing's saber long ago.
"No one can save you!" Su Changqing said indifferently.
He gripped the saber in his palm and advanced again. This time, there was no Xiantian True Qi.
One slash was enough!
The saber energy was blinding, the aura of the Overlord Saber piercing the heavens!
"Commander Zuo, help me!" Tai Long's eyes widened in fear, and he could only roar.
A small flying knife streaked across the sky from the horizon, slicing through the air, carrying specks of cold light.
Su Changqing's eyes narrowed. He met the flying knife with his saber, cleaving it to the ground.
He instantly retreated a few steps, gripping Frost Snow tightly. His tiger's mouth felt numb. He looked at the middle-aged man in black on the steps, his heart stirring.
Zuo Qianhu, Xiantian Ninth Layer, only one step away from Earth Fiend.
If he unleashed his full power, he didn't know if he could contend with him.
"Enough. Do you intend for another Xiantian to die? Go vent your frustrations at the Cloud Dragon Lake battle, and direct that anger towards outsiders," Zuo Qianhu said.
"Su Changqing's divine strength is enough to be unparalleled in the Suppression Bureau!" Jin Yichuan exclaimed in admiration after seeing Su Changqing block the flying knife.
Several Deputy Commanders beside him were slightly taken aback.
"Commander Zuo's flying knives are never off target. Even I wouldn't dare to face them. He intended to knock the saber from Su Changqing's hand, but Su Changqing detected it and cleaved the flying knife to the ground. This shows his extraordinary vision and strength!"
Jin Yichuan praised.
Tai Long's face was grim, as dark as charcoal. He glared fiercely at Su Changqing.
Su Changqing walked past him without a word, collecting the Thousand Year Golden Silkworm Silk from the ground into his sleeve.
His original intention was to use the Thousand Year Golden Silkworm Silk to break Tai Long's head, using the Frost Snow Saber to assist.
Just now, Ye Tian had died so vaguely, his True Qi not protecting him, and he had only been focused on Su Changqing's Purple Blood Soft Sword.
It was unclear if Commander Zuo had noticed, but a flying dagger had just stopped him.
Commander Zuo watched Su Changqing bend down to pick up the golden silkworm silk, a hint of a smile in his eyes, and turned to leave.
"Commander Zuo, this person is ruthless! He must be killed!" Tai Long suddenly roared.
Commander Zuo turned sharply, his gaze piercing, fixing on Tai Long, causing him to freeze in place, his heart trembling.
"Are you looking to die? How do you compare to him?"
A fighter at the Xiantian Second Layer versus one at the Fifth Level of Xiantian, how could Tai Long possibly compare to Su Changqing?
"Ye Tian is dead, you're lucky to be alive," Jin Yichuan said with a wry smile, shaking his head at Tai Long.
"Ye Tian is dead?" Tai Long froze, then quickly strode into the main hall. Upon entering, he saw Ye Tian's headless body, blood staining the hall.
"This scoundrel is truly ruthless, when did he make his move?" Tai Long pondered, then suddenly froze.
A hidden weapon?
Commander Zuo was skilled with hidden weapons. That flying dagger hadn't just intercepted Su Changqing's Overlord Saber, it was also the hidden weapon that had severed Ye Tian's head.
"What could be so terrifying to be able to cleanly slice off the head of someone in the Xiantian Realm?" Tai Long felt a chill, barely able to believe it.
"That was a golden thread, according to Commander Zuo, it's Thousand Year Golden Silkworm Silk. It can carry True Qi, and if he got close, even Commander Zuo wouldn't have detected it," Jin Yichuan said, coming up to him and gently patting his shoulder.
Tai Long had truly brushed past the gates of hell.
It was truly unknown where Su Changqing obtained so many treasures.
If Commander Zuo hadn't been here today, Su Changqing would have killed both master and disciple.
Soon, the Imperial Guard prepared, forming ranks. Commander Zuo held a steel saber, his gaze sharp.
"Today, we depart for Cloud Dragon Lake! Anyone who slacks off will be executed without mercy!"
Behind every Commander and Deputy Commander were large numbers of men, but Su Changqing stood alone with no one behind him.
He was clad in black as ink, his hair dancing in the wind, his eyebrows sharp as swords, his waist adorned with Snow Drifting, and he held an Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, not uttering a word.
Nearly a thousand Imperial Guards watched him, filled with shock.
Today, Su Changqing had completely made a name for himself in the Suppression Bureau. Had it not been for Commander Zuo's sudden intervention, he would have nearly killed Commander Tai.
Almost every Centurion had the thought of joining Su Changqing's command.
Unfortunately, Su Changqing had not taken anyone; he had long since passed the stage where he needed subordinates.
Commander Zuo glanced a few times, his brow furrowing slightly, "After today, Ye Tian's Imperial Guards will all be under Su Changqing's command. Changfeng Street and Youyun Workshop will both be managed by him."
Zhou Chu led a hundred men, quickly stepping forward and falling in behind Su Changqing. He had long wanted to join Su Changqing's command.
A moment later, Ye Ronghuo also arrived with a hundred men. He was a Centurion who had served under Ye Tian.
Commander Zuo, as the foremost of the Suppression Bureau's three Commanders, was obeyed by all.
He was puzzled and quickly asked someone nearby, "Where is Ye Tian?"
"Dead long ago," Zhou Chu said with a cold laugh.
Ye Ronghuo froze, his emotions a complex mix.
His younger brother, with his Seven Orifices Exquisite Body, who had looked down on the world with disdain, was dead just like that?
