Chapter 123 Rushing to the Rescue

Chen Chaoming froze, then his eyes welled up with tears, and he knelt down again with a thud, kowtowing heavily: "Great General, your kindness is beyond measure—"

"I have nothing to repay you with!"

Zhou Kui helped him up again and said in a deep voice, "You are my soldier, Zhou Kui's soldier. How can I, this general, sit idly by and watch your family be killed? Furthermore..."

He gazed at the dark night sky outside the tent, his voice tinged with coldness: "That Liu Tiangang, relying on his background at Qingcheng Mountain, has been running rampant in my Liangzhou territory, killing my Liangzhou generals. If we don't kill him, who will respect my Liangzhou army in the future?"

He turned to Cheng Yu and solemnly said, "General Cheng, on this journey to Zhenyuan, kill him."

A glint flashed in Cheng Yu's eyes, and he nodded slightly: "This subordinate obeys."

Chen Chaoming took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement and gratitude, and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "General, this humble general will depart immediately!"

Zhou Kui nodded: "Go. Remember, come back alive."

Dark as ink.

Two fast horses galloped out of the Liangzhou camp, heading towards Zhenyuan County. The two riders were none other than Chen Chaoming.

He and Cheng Yu.

Chen Chaoming galloped away on his horse, but his heart was in turmoil.

Cheng Yu rode alongside his horse and suddenly spoke up: "Captain Chen, that Liu Tiangang is a core disciple of Qingcheng Mountain. It's said that he has already reached the Gangjin realm at a young age, and his strength should not be underestimated. Do you know anything about his background?"

Chen Chaoming gritted his teeth and said, "This humble general only knows that he is the eldest son of the Liu family in Zhenyuan County, and was sent to Qingcheng Mountain to cultivate since childhood."

The Liu family was a tyrannical and domineering force in the area, oppressing the villagers.

Later, the Liu family was wiped out overnight, and Liu Tiangang returned to seek revenge. This humble general is worried—”

Cheng Yu remained silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "In that case, let's hurry on our way."

"Although your internal energy is strong, I am not to be trifled with."

Chen Chaoming nodded emphatically, lashed the horse's rump hard with the whip, and the horse galloped like an arrow towards its perilous hometown.

Behind them, the lights of the Liangzhou camp gradually faded into the distance.

Ahead, the night wind howled, and danger lurked everywhere.

As night deepened, the moon disappeared behind the clouds.

Wang Anping traveled swiftly, his internal energy flowing continuously, and the afterimages left by his flowing cloud steps appeared and disappeared in the dim mountain path.

He estimated the journey would take another half a day to reach Zhenyuan County.

With my parents' safety on my mind, I quickened my pace.

In the valley ahead, a dilapidated little temple can be vaguely seen, with broken eaves and crumbling walls. It is a good place to rest in this desolate wilderness.

Wang Anping hesitated for a moment, then slowed his pace and slipped into the temple.

The temple is small. In the center, a clay statue of a deity has long been blurred, the offering table is overturned, and the incense burner is overturned, clearly indicating that it has been abandoned for many years.

He found a relatively dry corner, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing. The true energy of the Great Formless Skill flowed slowly within his body, and the energy consumed during his rapid journey was quickly restored.

About an incense stick later, he suddenly opened his eyes.

In the distance, the sound of hurried footsteps and the rustling of clothes could be heard. There were quite a few people moving very fast, and they were clearly all martial artists.

Wang Anping frowned slightly, got up and walked to the temple gate, hiding in the shadows and looking out.

Under the moonlight, more than ten figures were rushing along the mountain path. Judging from their clothes, they were disciples of Qingcheng Mountain!

The leader was a burly man whose aura was significantly higher than the others; he was clearly at the Core Formation Realm!

"Quick! That kid can't have gone far! He dared to kill someone from Qingcheng Mountain, I'll tear him to pieces!"

The leader of the Baodan sect shouted fiercely, his voice filled with rage.

"Senior brother, the villagers confessed that they came in this direction! We've been chasing them all the way, they should be just ahead!"

"Hmph, once we catch him, we'll cripple his limbs first, then torture him slowly! Let him know the consequences of offending Qingcheng Mountain!"

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Wang Anping's eyes.

The villagers confessed?

He suddenly remembered the woman and the villagers he had rescued earlier.

Could it be that...

"And those few peasants who dared to help cover it up have all been sent on their way!"

Another disciple added obsequiously, "Don't worry, senior brother, not a single one was left alive."

Wang Anping's heart sank suddenly, and then a surge of overwhelming anger rushed to the top of his head!

Those people—are they dead?

They were silenced by these beasts simply because they witnessed him saving people and because they took in the valuables he left behind.

He clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking, and the Great Formless Skill's true energy surged within his body, the intent of the Five Elements' rotation almost bursting out of his body!

But instead of rushing out immediately, he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and waited quietly.

A moment later, the dozen or so figures rushed to the front of the temple.

The leading disciple, who had just reached the Dan realm, waved his hand: "Search the temple! If they're not there, continue the pursuit!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a figure in blue slowly walked out from inside the temple gate and stood in the moonlight.

"No need to search anymore." Wang Anping's voice was eerily calm.

"I'm here."

The disciples of Qingcheng Mountain were stunned for a moment, then overjoyed!

"That's him! The one in the portrait!" someone recognized him.

The leader of Baodan sneered and strode forward, looking Wang Anping up and down: "Kid, you've got guts, you're not running away."

"Perfect, saves Grandpa the trouble! Tell me, why did you kill the people from Qingcheng Mountain?"

Wang Anping did not answer his question, but coldly asked, "Did you kill those civilians?"

"Common people?" The leader of Baodan was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "Oh, those few peasants? That's right, I ordered them to be killed!"

What, feeling sorry for them? Let me tell you, in this world, the lives of the weak are as worthless as weeds!

You killed our people, and they protected you; they deserve to die!

The disciples behind him also grinned maliciously, as if they were saying something perfectly natural.

Wang Anping closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When I opened my eyes again, all I saw was a cold, lifeless stillness.

"it is good."

He only said one word.

The leader of Baodan was taken aback by his reaction, then angrily shouted, "Playing tricks! Brothers, attack! Capture him and take back the reward!"

More than ten figures rushed forward at once, their swords flashing and shadows looming over them!

Wang Anping made a move.

He didn't use any special moves; he simply took a step forward.

With one step, his body's energy exploded!

"boom!"

An invisible, immense force swept outwards from him! The dozen or so Qingcheng Mountain disciples who rushed forward were as if they had crashed into an invisible wall of energy. The ones at the front didn't even have time to scream before their bones were shattered and they were sent flying backwards!

"What?!"

The leader of Baodan's pupils shrank sharply. Before he could react, Wang Anping's figure appeared in front of him like a ghost.

With five fingers forming a claw, it gently probed and gripped his throat, lifting him up.

"Gang—Gang Force!"

The leader of Baodan then realized who he was facing, his face drained of color, and his eyes were filled with fear.

"No—impossible! You—"

Wang Anping did not give him a chance to speak.

With a slight exertion of force from his five fingers, a cracking sound was heard, and his cervical spine broke.

The leader of Baodan slumped his head, and his body was thrown aside like a rag.

The remaining disciples who had miraculously survived were terrified and turned to flee.

Wang Anping raised his hand, his five fingers loosely clenched, and his inner energy condensed into five invisible swords, which he then swung down!

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

Five heads fell to the ground simultaneously, and the headless corpses rushed a few more steps before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

In just a few breaths, more than ten disciples of Qingcheng Mountain, including one who had reached the Core Formation stage, were all wiped out!

Under the moonlight, the air was thick with the stench of blood.

Wang Anping stood amidst the corpses, not a single drop of blood staining his clothes. He glanced down at the gruesome bodies, his eyes...

There was not a ripple in the middle.

"Are the lives of the weak as worthless as weeds?"

He murmured to himself.

"Then in my eyes, you are not even worth as much as weeds."

He turned around and looked into the distance, towards Zhenyuan County.

From what the leader of the Baodan sect had just said, he learned an important piece of information:

Liu Tiangang has already gone to Zhenyuan County, while Chen Chaoming is on his way back to the rescue.

After killing the civilians, these people planned to kill him first and then go help Liu Tiangang.

"Liu Tiangang—" Wang Anping murmured the name, his eyes filled with even more murderous intent.

Without lingering, he transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the night.
