The Blade Demon had just placed his Executioner's saber against an Imperial Guard's neck, ready to slit his throat, when his chest suddenly exploded.

Blood gushed out.

The two men, ferocious as fiends only a moment ago, did not even manage a single scream before they had gone to the Yellow Springs.

This sudden turn of events instantly froze the Fiend Demon and the Spear Demon in place.

Their faces were full of disbelief. The two sworn brothers who had roamed the martial world alongside them for years had fallen just like that?

They seemed unable to believe that what was unfolding before their eyes was real.

"How is this possible? You are so young—could you already be a Grandmaster Realm martial artist?"

The expressions on their faces froze.

In their place came terror that seeped into their bones. They looked at Su Fei as though they had seen a ghost.

The next second, the Spear Demon let out a strange cry. Carrying his long spear, he turned and fled, pushing his movement technique to its utmost; his figure was as nimble as a civet cat.

He did not even spare a glance for his sworn brothers' corpses.

The Fiend Demon also came to his senses then, a terrified low growl escaping his throat.

With his liver and gallbladder splitting in terror, he turned and ran. Judging by his speed, he was actually several notches faster than the Spear Demon.

"You killed my brothers, and now you want to run? Don't you think it is too late?"

Su Fei's voice was not loud, yet it rang clearly in both men's ears.

"No matter how fast you are, can you be faster than true essence?"

Before his words had faded, two more blasts of true essence shot from his fingertips.

The Spear Demon, who was climbing over the wall, suddenly stiffened. A burst of blood exploded from the back of his neck, and he fell straight down from midair. After twitching twice, he fell silent.

The Fiend Demon, who had reached the village entrance, was even more unlucky. He had just been about to charge through the wicker fence.

Just as joy rose in his heart and he thought he had successfully escaped,

his head abruptly exploded the next second, like a watermelon.

His headless corpse crashed to the ground.

In no more than a few breaths, the Four Demons of the Northern Region, who had struck fear throughout the martial world, had all been slaughtered by Su Fei with a flick of his fingers.

The sounds of battle nearby paused for a moment. Whether Imperial Guards or White Lotus Sect followers, all were stunned by this unfathomable, ghost-and-god-like scene.

Seeing this, Officer Zhang looked at Su Fei with gratitude before shouting loudly.

"Officer Su is mighty! He killed the Four Demons of the Northern Region!"

Immediately afterward, the Imperial Guards' earth-shaking cheers rang throughout the entire village.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The Imperial Guards' morale soared. Each was brimming with fighting spirit as they roared and charged at the White Lotus Sect followers.

The White Lotus Sect followers, who had originally been stubbornly resisting, looked at Su Fei with terror in their eyes, and their morale sank.

Even the Four Demons of the Northern Region had been killed by the Imperial Guard. How could White Lotus Sect followers like them possibly be a match for the Imperial Guard?

The battle began developing in the Imperial Guard's favor.

Su Fei's Spring Embroidered Saber left its sheath, and he rushed toward the areas where the White Lotus Sect followers were most numerous.

At this time, it was not as though no one had considered running away.

But the fleeing White Lotus Sect followers were swiftly driven back, their faces filled with despair.

"The entrances in front and behind have both been blocked by the Qingzhou Army. There is no way out."

After a while, Qin Wushang, who was fighting fiercely in midair, lowered his head to glance at the battlefield. He was instantly both shocked and enraged.

Because the situation on the battlefield was now extremely unfavorable for the White Lotus Sect.

Quite a few followers had already chosen to throw down their weapons and squat on the ground in surrender.

Only thirty or forty White Lotus Sect followers were still fighting. Surrounded on all sides by the Imperial Guard, they were in a very bad situation.

His face was full of shock and incomprehension. In his view, although the Imperial Guard had somewhat greater numbers,

the White Lotus Sect members were not weak either, and they also had the Four Demons of the Northern Region.

Why had they been defeated so miserably?

One had to know that these dead White Lotus Sect followers were the foundation he had painstakingly accumulated.

If this continued and they all died, his status in the Divine Sect would surely plummet like a thousand-foot waterfall in the future.

Qin Wushang wanted to intervene and save them, but Feng Changqing had been tangling with him all along.

Their strengths were nearly identical; both were at the Grandmaster Realm Third Layer.

If he wanted to drive him back and take his people away, it seemed he had no choice but to use that method.

Qin Wushang grew increasingly agitated.

A vicious glint flashed through his eyes as he abruptly pulled a blood-red pill from his robes.

Commander Feng's expression changed drastically upon seeing it.

"The Life-Sacrificing Pill? You actually brought a Life-Sacrificing Pill?"

He had seen records of it in the case files. It was an evil pill refined by the White Lotus Sect, one that overdrew the body's potential to temporarily raise one's cultivation.

The price was damage to one's foundation, and its effects lasted only the time it took to burn one incense stick.

Qin Wushang did not answer. He tipped back his head and swallowed the pill.

In an instant, his blood and qi surged throughout his body. His skin swelled crimson like blood, his aura rose sharply, and a faint blood-colored glow appeared around him.

His aura reached the Grandmaster Realm fifth level.

"Feng Changqing, get out of my way!"

Qin Wushang struck out with a palm. Its force was several times stronger than before.

Enveloped by this aura, Commander Feng did not dare be careless and circulated his Stone Splitting Hand with all his strength to block it.

With a muffled bang, he was sent flying like a kite with its string cut. He barely managed to stop himself in midair before coughing up a mouthful of blood. He had clearly suffered serious injuries.

"You troublesome pest, I will spare you today."

Qin Wushang snorted coldly and ignored Commander Feng. His body descended from the air like an arrow as both palms swept out.

Several Imperial Guards who tried to stop him were instantly sent flying.

He strode toward the encircled White Lotus Sect followers, madness gleaming in his eyes.

"Come with me!"

When the surrounded White Lotus Sect followers saw this, hope reignited in their eyes, and they hurriedly gathered around Qin Wushang.

The Imperial Guards were cowed by Qin Wushang's current might. Not one dared step forward to stop him.

The pressure of a Grandmaster Realm fifth level expert was simply beyond what they could withstand.

Moreover, they had all seen Qin Wushang take the forbidden medicine and drive Commander Feng back with one palm strike.

They certainly did not think they were Qin Wushang's match.

At that moment, a clear voice rang out.

"You want to leave? Did you ask me?"

Su Fei appeared before Qin Wushang, blocking his path.

His eyes were cold as frost.

To Su Fei, if Qin Wushang took these White Lotus Sect followers away,

wouldn't that mean his mission had failed?

He could not even let Qin Wushang escape, much less the others. After all, Qin Wushang was the mastermind.

At Su Fei's words,

Qin Wushang was so furious that he laughed instead, looking Su Fei up and down.

"It is you. I remember you, brat. You were the one who ruined this envoy's good plans last time, and now you have been promoted to Officer."

"You are just an Officer. Do you really think you are so impressive? You dare block me? Are you courting death?"

Commander Feng, in the distance, felt his heart tighten at the sight and hurriedly shouted.

"Su Fei, get out of the way! Do not throw your life away for nothing!"

"As long as the green hills remain, there will be no lack of firewood. If we cannot catch him this time, we can catch him next time."

He knew full well how terrifying Qin Wushang was at the moment. For a short time, Qin Wushang was comparable to a powerful Grandmaster Realm fifth level martial artist. Hadn't he nearly beaten him to death just now?

Although Su Fei's cultivation was decent, Commander Feng did not believe Su Fei could defeat the Qin Wushang before him.

Qin Wushang sneered.

"Since you seek death, this envoy will grant your wish."

He thrust both palms out violently, unleashing the White Lotus Annihilation Palm.

A massive gray palm condensed into form, carrying gray gale-force energy as it slammed down upon Su Fei like dark clouds pressing over a city, as though it would crush him into mincemeat.
