West Factory Banner Recruit: Su Changqing, You're Even More Despicable and Shameless Than Us Eunuchs

The three men's eyes widened in disbelief, but they had no time to react.

Their heads were severed by the Steel Saber in Su Changqing's hand!

Three large heads flew into the air as blood surged forth, spraying across the sky and staining the weathered, dim red walls crimson.

Three headless corpses collapsed to the ground, twitching twice as they dyed the earth red.

Today's battle had been won through a sneak attack.

Su Changqing stared at the three bloody corpses without feeling the slightest nausea.

Instead, the blood throughout his body began to boil.

In his second life, he had fallen into the gaping Eight Trigrams Furnace, opened his eyes to see Golden Horn and Silver Horn, and been burned directly into ash. He had felt nothing.

In this life, he had been suppressed ever since his rebirth—by Li Kongxiang and Chen Mo.

Since the world was like this, then he would seek an unimpeded heart!

After narrowing his eyes for a moment, he slowly climbed the cracked high wall. Seeing the lime powder formed by the cracks in the wall, he silently grabbed a handful.

"Today is my first battle!"

"No battle without victory. Victory in every battle!"

There was no point wasting words arguing with a few eunuchs.

Find an opportunity and kill them with a single slash. A saber wielder pressed ever onward!

At that moment, in the courtyard of the Cold Palace's main hall, Li Yuanying coldly watched the discarded consort's daughter.

"I may not be able to kill you, but the Empress can. First, I'll ruin that face of yours. Once you, little brat, enter the Clean Clothes Workshop, I'll make you suffer until you learn what it feels like to become a woman ahead of time."

Li Yuanying's eyes were cold and sinister as he stared at Ji Xingyue's delicate, flawless cheeks.

The eunuch restraining Ziyue immediately grinned upon hearing this. He reached out, intending to claw up that face that looked so much like Noble Consort Wu's.

Suddenly, a pebble shot through the air like a flying dagger, instantly piercing his palm. Blood splattered everywhere.

The eunuch immediately let out a shrill scream. The pain of his pierced palm made him collapse to his knees, his cries nearly heart-wrenching.

"Who?" Li Yuanying's expression changed in alarm.

All the eunuchs' expressions changed as they looked toward the main gate where the pebble had come from, but they saw no one.

Seeing that everyone's attention had been drawn away, Su Changqing's gaze sharpened. He activated the Four Seasons Cloud Falling Steps and swiftly circled around the corner.

Moving at tremendous speed, he leaped onto the courtyard wall, then sprang down from it. Clad in a tight-fitting flying-fish uniform, he gripped a bloodstained saber.

His gaze was sharp and cold as lightning as his long saber slashed down from above, tearing through the air.

Blade Aura chilled to the bone as it rang with a metallic hum!

This slash went straight for Li Yuanying's neck!

Ji Xingyue's eyes widened as she stared blankly at the man in black, nearly unable to put her feelings into words.

With his back to Su Changqing, Li Yuanying's hairs stood on end in an instant. Without the slightest hesitation, he twisted aside, yet his arm was still nearly severed by the slash. Blood sprayed everywhere, splashing into the sky.

He staggered back in shock and spun around, rapidly striking several acupoints on his body to stop the bleeding. He looked at Su Changqing, his face filled with horror.

"You're that Imperial Guard from earlier?"

"I never expected this menial to be at Body Refinement Stage Eight. He killed three of my menials and even took the chance to ambush me. Pierce his shoulder blades and hang him from the East Factory's gates!"

Li Yuanying's right arm continued bleeding, the crimson blood glaringly bright. Fury surged within him, and his killing intent was as vast as the sea.

What a vicious and treacherous brat!

And this was supposed to be an Imperial Guard?

First, he threw a pebble through the main gate to draw their attention, then came in from the wall to ambush him.

If he had not cultivated the Heavenly Gang Virginity Art to a modest level, he might have been cut down by that single slash today!

The three men sent out earlier had likely already met with disaster as well.

The East and West Factories and the Imperial Guard had never gotten along. If they had a chance to kill one, they would kill one!

Besides, Su Changqing had stumbled upon such a major matter. If Su Changqing had been killed, then those three had merely been unlucky!

In the distance, four red-robed eunuchs charged toward Su Changqing. All of them were at Body Refinement Stage Eight!

They had officially become Banner Recruits of the West Factory and were far beyond ordinary menial eunuchs. They had even cultivated a Combined Attack Formation!

At the ordinary Body Refinement Realm, they already possessed several superior martial arts and a Combined Attack Formation!

This showed just how powerful Great Shang was!

The East Factory's techniques were sinister and vicious, and their speed was astonishing. Their footwork was ghostly, while their hand techniques were formidable.

Su Changqing's eyes were frosty and indifferent. He held his saber horizontally, his killing intent as vast as the sea, without the slightest fear.

The four attacked together, their West Factory Shadow Claw Techniques flashing with cold glints and bone-piercing chill.

Working together, they were incredibly powerful. Even the thick round wooden pillars nearby were clawed apart and scattered across the ground, forcing Su Changqing to retreat.

"You're still so young, yet you dare show off? Is the West Factory something you can afford to provoke?" Li Yuanying sneered.

Using the Four Seasons Cloud Falling Steps, Su Changqing moved like a ghost. He suddenly leaped through a window, and his figure vanished.

The four entered together, their expressions cold as they swept their eyes across every corner of the Cold Palace's main hall.

"Where is he? That brat is only at Body Refinement Stage Eight. The four of us can kill him with ease!"

Su Changqing stood upon the wall like an eagle, his gaze cold as he surveyed the four men.

He suddenly drew the saber at his waist. Beneath the blazing sun, its blade reflected a scorching and tyrannical gleam.

"He's on the wall!" one eunuch suddenly shouted after the sunlight seared his eyes.

"Come!"

"Tyrant Saber!"

A slash swept across the sky, containing Golden Radiance Saber Qi that rang sharply through the air.

The two leading eunuchs looked horrified and dodged aside. The power of this strike was simply too great.

The two were instantly cut in half at the waist by Su Changqing. Their upper bodies crashed to the ground as blood spurted three feet high, staining even the main hall's bluestone steps red.

"Retreat! Retreat at once!" The remaining two eunuchs looked terrified and hurriedly fled back.

"Retreat? Can you get away?" Su Changqing gave a long howl, standing with his saber held crosswise like a demon god as he pursued them.

Every day at dawn, he practiced his footwork. The Four Seasons Cloud Falling Steps were exceptionally fast and were the first technique Su Changqing had achieved minor mastery in.

One slash for each, clean and decisive. Before they could retreat, their heads were severed, blood spraying in all directions.

Two heads rolled down the steps. Blood flowed as their eyes remained wide open, unwilling and resentful in death.

This scene shocked everyone, and Li Yuanying's eyes widened even further.

This man was ruthless and merciless, and his attacks were clean and decisive. He had first feigned weakness before suddenly striking and killing two of them.

Since when had the Imperial Guard produced such a figure? And he was only a menial disciple.

The four Body Refinement Stage Eight eunuchs were already dead. Only Li Yuanying and the young eunuch whose palm had been pierced by the pebble remained.

The young eunuch looked terrified, and water streamed down from beneath his feet.

He had actually wet himself in fear and turned to flee.

"Xiao Dezi, you dare betray me?" Li Yuanying shouted coldly.

"Godfather, I'm just a young eunuch..." Xiao Dezi cried.

"Your godfather is at the Body Refinement Ninth Layer. What are you afraid of?" Li Yuanying's cold eyes swept over Su Changqing before settling on the Steel Saber in his hand.

"Brat, I see that you're talented. Why not join my West Factory?"

"Sure." Su Changqing adjusted his breathing and smiled calmly.

"Let us cease hostilities and make peace. If you join the West Factory, you'll at least become a commander in the future," Li Yuanying said softly.

"Then let us shake hands and make peace. From now on, I, Li Kongxiang, will have to rely on you, Eunuch."

Xiao Dezi stood there in a daze. The two men were smiling warmly. If not for the two bloody heads nearby, one might have thought they were relatives meeting each other.

The two drew closer. Li Yuanying's eyes gradually turned cold as he clawed out, the wind whistling through the air.

Su Changqing likewise swung his saber, his Blade Aura overwhelming.

Saber and claw collided with an ear-piercing clang.

Li Yuanying's Eagle Claw Technique had clearly reached major mastery. Even though Su Changqing's Blade Aura was astonishing, he could still receive it head-on.

Their eyes met, both their gazes indifferent.

Li Yuanying felt somewhat wistful. He was nearly thirty this year.

As for Su Changqing, he was at most eighteen, and the childishness had yet to leave his face.

"Brat, you're quite something. You're talented. At your age, I... Ah..."

Su Changqing raised the lime powder in his hand and instantly scattered it into Li Yuanying's eyes.

A miserable scream rang out. Li Yuanying's eyes turned blood-red, injured by the sand and lime. Darkness filled his vision, and he could see nothing.

"You brat, you're even more despicable than us in the West Factory!"

He roared.
