Slaying the Myriad Commander, a New Beginning for the County Town

Zhou Qiming snapped the necks of the remaining few, showing no mercy.

In his opinion, Xu Hailai and Zhang Tie had gone to the front lines of the Luoshan Army and were temporarily safe. This was the sorrow of lacking strength; anyone could bully and control you. The weak had no choice but to go with the flow, unable to control their own fate.

"Still not strong enough. I must continue to train hard, collect better cultivation methods and better precious medicines. Only when I become stronger will others not dare to provoke me!"

Zhou Qiming clenched his fists, feeling a sense of urgency. Even the Luoshan Army harbored darkness; there were no longer any bright havens in this world. He could only rely on himself, struggle forward, save himself first, and then save all beings.

As he walked to the small courtyard gifted by the Cheng Family, he heard a familiar voice.

"It's the Wu brothers." He quickly stopped and eavesdropped from a corner.

"Second Uncle, I didn't expect you to be in this appointed team. Your nephew almost didn't get to see you." The brothers complained to their Second Uncle, Wu Hui.

"Stop crying. Banditry is rampant everywhere now, and Jinshui Town is also being built into a fortress by Lord Jiang. There's plenty of profit and opportunity here, so you must seize it."

Wu Hui stood before the rock garden and gave them a few pointers.

"It's a pity that Zhou Qiming brat ran fast. He made us look so bad back then by relying on Old Man Xu's favor. We must not let him fall into our hands!"

Wu Wen and Wu Wu clenched their fists, jealousy and resentment in their eyes.

Wu Hui frowned and sneered proudly, "Don't bother with ants. Once you join my Luoshan Army, you'll have whatever you want. But this brat really knows how to enjoy himself, living in a large courtyard all by himself."

Suddenly, a cold voice shattered the atmosphere, silencing the air.

"Are you looking for me?" Zhou Qiming's eyes glinted coldly as he emerged from the shadows of the corner.

"What, how are you here!" Wu Wen was greatly surprised, sensing something was wrong.

Wu Wu was shocked for a second, then revealed a mocking smile, "You walked right into a trap. How dare you come back? You don't know yet, but we personally broke the leg bones of that old thing Xu Hailai and escorted him onto the prisoner transport cart. He's probably at the front lines now, cooking and making fires."

"Go accompany him. Your cooking skills can't go to waste!" Wu Wen also calmed down, eager to try.

Once they were on Luoshan Army territory, Zhou Qiming was alone and could not escape even if he had wings.

"You are Zhou Qiming? You have some courage. Why don't you come work under me? When I'm promoted to Centurion..."

Wu Hui could see at a glance that the opponent had Body Tempering strength and was by no means as simple as a mere chef.

But in front of an expert like Jiang Baichuan, any attempt at resistance would be a joke.

What a pity, this brat had already escaped, yet he returned to rescue Xu Hailai. He was indeed a loyal person.

"Next lifetime."

Zhou Qiming shook his head coldly, and in the bewildered eyes of the two brothers, he grabbed Wu Hui by the neck with one palm.

"Tendon Transformation Martial Artist, how, how is this possible? Don't kill me, Commander Jiang won't let you go..."

Wu Hui desperately kicked his legs, struggling, but it was ultimately futile. His life and legs were lifted into the sky, leaving the mortal world like the spirits at the town gate.

"You, you're not Zhou Qiming!"

Wu Wen and the other man instantly knelt, terrified and wetting themselves. In their impression, Zhou Qiming was just a cook who clocked in and out on time. How could he possess such strange and terrifying power?

The four great gates of Body Tempering, the Tendon Transformation level of power, was the absolute Ceiling in this town. To have it bound to a fifteen-year-old boy made their scalps tingle.

"You can't discuss ice with a summer insect. You'll have plenty of time to figure it out after you're dead."

Zhou Qiming shook his head, too lazy to bother with these ants. If they had to blame anyone, it was themselves for provoking an enemy they couldn't afford to offend, despite being pitifully weak.

Plop!

The two heads collided, falling into a pool of blood.

Jinshui Great Stockade, under the soldiers' construction, was booming with activity and had taken on a defensive scale, looking like a different world compared to the small town before.

"Who goes there!"

In the Main Military Tent, Jiang Baichuan, who was resting, suddenly stood up and drew the sword from his waist.

He was reviewing the accounts seized by the Jinsha Gang when he keenly sensed danger, as if being targeted by a Demon or Ferocious Beast, a prickling sense of crisis.

Zhou Qiming walked in, carrying the Mountain-Weight Saber on his back.

"Are you Myriad Commander Jiang?"

"Are you from the Sky Shaker Bandits? To trespass into my camp alone, you have great skill. Which of the Five Great Heavenly Generals are you? Jiang will not kill an unknown foe."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Qiming's figure vanish from his spot.

The Mountain-Weight Saber weighed hundreds of pounds, but in Zhou Qiming's hands, it was like Lifting Heavy as Light. His Limit Breaking twice Woodcutting Saber Technique was as swift as lightning.

With the long saber in hand, Brute Force combined with the Body Piercing attribute, this strike was the epitome of power and speed.

"I, have I died?"

Jiang Baichuan felt his whole body fly into the air, but looking down, he saw his body still charging forward, while his head had already spurted blood and flown off.

"So, so strong. Why kill me..." Jiang Baichuan died with his eyes wide open.

"Your subordinate Wu Hui threatened me. I hate not being able to sleep peacefully the most, so I had no choice but to send you on your way."

Jiang Baichuan: "..."

Zhou Qiming quickly searched the corpse, without any hesitation, and immediately disappeared from the large tent.

The disturbance in Jinshui Town had finally subsided, and he could head to the county town with peace of mind.

"This world is too dangerous. I have a few more lives on my hands."

Zhou Qiming shook his head. If he didn't kill, he would be killed. He had no psychological burden. However, this time was different; he had actually gotten involved with the Luoshan Army, which was troublesome.

But the County Lieutenant wouldn't be able to trace it back to him. At most, the blame would fall on the Sky Shaker Bandits' sneak attack. Even if the truth were exposed, Zhou Qiming's strength would be vastly different by then, and how many people would dare to deal with him?

Zhou Qiming packed the three thousand taels of silver he had looted and rushed to Luoshan County overnight.

Behind him, Jinshui Stockade was in chaos.

"Heavens, Commander Jiang's head is also hanging on the flagpole."

"Could it be that the Hantian Army has attacked? Damn it."

"Quickly go to the county and report the news. This is trouble."

The soldiers trembled in fear, utterly lost. But all of this was no longer Zhou Qiming's concern.

Five days later, Zhou Qiming had already rented a quiet courtyard in the Outer City of Luoshan County. During these days, he had consolidated his strength, and his Root Bone Value had also been replenished and recovered.

His cultivation of the Evergreen Skill had also progressed, and everything was developing in a positive direction.

Meanwhile, Jinshui Town had not caused too much of a stir. The County Lieutenant had attributed the incident to the Sky Shaker Bandits. King Chaotian had massacred the small town and killed Jiang Baichuan to establish his authority. By the time the Luoshan Army reinforcements arrived, the bandits had already fled.

At least, that was what the public announcement stated. Seeing this, Zhou Qiming was relieved and prepared to register at Hero's Tower.

"Kid, are you here to eat or to challenge?"

In front of Hero's Tower, two guards stopped Zhou Qiming.

According to the rules, Hero's Tower was a place for the Heavenly Prodigies of the several counties under the prefecture to make a name for themselves. Experts on the Hidden Dragon Ranking could enjoy free food and drinks on the top floor.

But if one was just a idler looking for excitement, they had to obediently pay the entrance fee and dine on the first floor.

"Challenge?" Zhou Qiming frowned, not expecting Hero's Tower to be this kind of place. He naturally had no idea what the Hidden Dragon Ranking was.

"I'm here to see the Tower Master," Zhou Qiming said directly, taking out the letter of introduction given by Xu Hailai.
