……

……

The captain of the guard unit was always surrounded by many guards, no matter the time.

Therefore, assassinating him would not be easy.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei chose to confront them head-on.

They could just cause a ruckus at the guard post; after all, they're all corrupt and greedy, so what if they die?

"Hey, who are you? The security detail doesn't allow unauthorized personnel to enter."

The dragon blood within Lu Mingfei's body had already ignited.

The raging Dragon King has awakened.

Now is the time for slaughter.

A flash of cold light swept across, and the two guards at the entrance of the guardhouse were instantly sliced ​​in half.

At the same time, alarms sounded throughout the guard unit's outpost.

"The cleaning is about to begin."

After activating the violent dragon blood within him, Lu Mingfei exuded an extremely terrifying dragon aura.

His burning golden eyes were even more terrifying; no one dared to meet his gaze.

Chaos erupted inside the stronghold, and a few seconds later, hundreds of guards armed with rifles rushed out.

The leader was a burly man with scars on his face and an extremely fierce appearance.

This person is Lu Mingfei's target: the captain of the guard team.

“This little guy dared to trespass on our guard post, take him down.”

With a wave of his hand, the captain of the guards unleashed a barrage of bullets at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei merely glanced at everyone indifferently before unleashing his Word of Power.

Words of Power, a dust-free land.

Words of Power, Lord Flame.

A hail of bullets stopped in front of Lu Mingfei.

The katana in Lu Mingfei's hand was burning with intense flames.

At this moment, he compressed Jun Yan to the extreme.

With his incantation of words and terrifying swordsmanship, Lu Mingfei was like a demon at this moment.

The knife fell.

A huge column of fire shot up into the sky.

The blazing flames swept in all directions.

It was as if the explosion of a Dongfeng missile had directly engulfed the entire guard post.

All the guards inside the stronghold were killed.

Amidst the raging flames, Lu Mingfei sheathed his sword and left.

The appearance of the arsonist plunged the nobles and some unscrupulous people in the capital into fear.

Night raids and arsonists are like two swords hanging over everyone's heads.

It could fall behind at any time.

No one wants to die, especially those who have been given unparalleled power.

For example, ministers.

……

……

Minister Ernest held the zenith of power in the empire.

At the same time, corruption reached its peak.

First, there were the exorbitant taxes. The ministers exploited the people and villages through heavy taxes, leaving many villages impoverished, including Tatsumi's village.

Many people starved to death as a result.

Anyone who dared to defy the ministers would be publicly executed.

After being tortured to death with extremely cruel methods, their bodies were hung on crosses and erected in the center of the empire.

When a loyal minister wanted to report the people's current situation to the emperor, other ministers would obstruct him.

The current emperor is just a child, and the ministers are the favored officials who helped him ascend to the throne.

Therefore, the emperor trusted his ministers very much, and the ministers would use this trust to execute loyal officials and even take their wives.

Some have commented that this was an era of heinous crimes and where life was as fragile as paper.

The minister was furious after the night raid and the arsonists' rampage through the city.

In particular, the blatant attack on the Imperial Guard was a slap in the face to the Empire.

……

……

The empire was secretly in turmoil, but that was none of Jiang Nan's business. He continued to stroll around the capital.

Xiao Yan and Jiang Nan walked together on the road.

There were many ordinary people buying and selling things around.

It is bustling and lively.

It's hard to imagine that such a city could harbor such unparalleled rot and stench.

Inside the royal palace in the heart of the capital at this moment.

Soldiers are reporting on the combat situation at the front.

"Generals Gard and Hemi have betrayed their country."

The already corrupt empire had exploited its people to the point of exhaustion, and many chose to join the revolutionary army.

Several courtiers in the royal palace frowned deeply.

The fact that two valiant generals have joined the rebels is not good news.

However, the minister did not show any signs of anxiety.

With the Supreme Imperial Arms and Esdeath in hand, a small rebel army can be destroyed in the blink of an eye.

"I'm so heartbroken. Whether it's the arsonist, the night raid, or the traitorous general, they've all made me gain weight."

The minister tore into the beef in his hand; his appetite was very strong.

"Recall General Esdeath. It's time to make those foolish thieves pay the price."

When the surrounding courtiers heard that Esdeath was going to return to the royal city, they immediately became anxious.

"Don't we also have General Bude as a minister?"

“Sending the general to punish a foolish thief would only bring shame to his dignity. My mind is made up. I will recall Esdeath.”

The surrounding officials dared not oppose the minister, and thus fell silent.

……

……

Xiao Yan returned to the base of the Night Raid.

Jiang Nan was still wandering around the Empire, and before he knew it, it was dark.

The empire is in turmoil lately, as a mad executioner is hunting down civilians.

"Oh dear, it's gotten dark before I knew it."

Walking along the pitch-black path, a figure followed behind Jiang Nan.

"You dare to stay out at this hour? It's all your fault. Why did you have to be targeted by me? There are terrifying monsters that roam at night."

The person who wanted to hunt Jiang Nan was Zank the Decapitator, an executioner in the empire who specialized in beheading criminals. His personality became twisted due to his long-term beheading work. Dissatisfied with killing only in prison, he began to kill people on the streets.

His Imperial Arm is the "Observer," a five-vision omnipotent Imperial Arm with five abilities: penetrating vision, farsightedness, X-ray vision, future vision, and illusion vision. These abilities allow him to see into people's hearts, observe distant places, penetrate visual barriers, see the future, and cast illusions.

"Hahaha, I'm so happy, I really want to cut off your head."

Zanke coldly stared at Jiang Nan, who was completely unprepared ahead.

He then burst out of the darkness, two sharp blades springing from his wrists.

Two blades, like scissors, crossed and slashed towards Jiang Nan's neck.

As they drew closer, each beheading brought Zank, the decapitator, unparalleled joy.

"Pleasure, pleasure."

The next moment, a head flew up.

Jiang Nan turned his head in confusion, and then saw the headless Zank.

"Where did these mosquitoes come from? Honestly, to keep out of you boring mosquitoes, I've set up a causal reversal defense on myself. Any damage I suffer will be returned to me exactly as it was."

Chapter 439, Interception

Esdeath returned home in triumph.

This has brought nightmares to many people.

Her strong personality and sadistic tendencies made her seem incredibly terrifying.
