For the next few days, Lu Changsheng stayed at home, rarely going out, and not interacting with anyone.
In addition to cultivating the army of ants every day, he also mines in the crater.
Watching his source energy points grow little by little makes him feel very satisfied.
If I continue like this, I won't be far from achieving a breakthrough in the next technique.
At the same time, after the guardian of Wenxiang Sect was killed by himself, the city temporarily calmed down.
He estimated that the other party would not give up easily, perhaps he was hiding something even deeper.
After a series of incidents occurred in the city, the Demon Suppression Bureau began to cooperate with the county government and sent warriors to patrol the city day and night.
Lu Changsheng was also assigned a small area.
This area is located on the banks of the Cang River in the west of the city.
Cang River is a small tributary of Miluo River with a small flow, running across the entire county.
The two sides of the river are quite prosperous, with a large number of peddlers unloading goods and many gang thugs maintaining order.
The wharf by the river is under the control of the Sanhe Gang, which mainly runs some water transport business.
This day, early in the morning.
Lu Changsheng was wearing an official uniform and holding a butcher knife, patrolling the streets along the river.
The whole person looks very majestic and upright.
Wherever he passed, a large number of civilians avoided him and looked at Lu Changsheng with awe.
Even some members of the Fenglei Hall of the Sanhe Gang retreated away, their eyes dazed, not daring to come forward to cause trouble.
They also knew about the grudge between their hall master and Lu Changsheng, but since Lu Changsheng was promoted, no one mentioned the matter again, as if it had never happened.
Lu Changsheng glanced at the entire room and ignored this group of gang members.
Today is just a routine patrol, and we are not here to cause trouble.
Just as Lu Changsheng patrolled to the end of the street and was about to return, something strange happened.
He suddenly felt his whole body tighten, as if he was being stared at by a tiger, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.
"A strong bone forging expert is attacking!"
He reacted in an instant.
He immediately activated the secret method of burning blood, drew his sword and slashed backwards at an astonishing speed.
Even the air was filled with sonic booms.
"Crash…"
At this moment, a dazzling cold light flashed in the void and suddenly stabbed towards Lu Changsheng's back.
The man holding the sword was a masked man in black, with extremely sharp eyes full of murderous intent.
But judging from her figure, she looks like an old woman, with a slightly hunched back.
From the time Lu Changsheng sensed the crisis to the time he took action to resist, it only happened in an instant.
"Boom boom boom…"
The two sides suddenly collided with each other.
A violent gust of wind swept in all directions, cracking large areas of the stone bricks on the ground. The scene was filled with smoke and dust, and was in a mess.
Lu Changsheng only felt a surge of power coming from the butcher knife in his hand, and the blood and energy in his body condensed and became somewhat sluggish.
He quickly activated the Dragon Roar Iron Shirt and the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover to the limit, and only then was he able to stabilize the qi and blood in his body.
"A strong person in the late stage of bone forging?"
He was shocked. To be able to suppress the strength after activating the secret technique, he must have surpassed the middle stage of bone forging.
Following this backward push, Lu Changsheng immediately activated the Nine Spiral Transformations, turning into a series of afterimages and retreating backwards.
In the blink of an eye, he was dozens of meters away from the old woman.
"What a fast speed, what amazing body movements!"
The old woman looked at Lu Changsheng with horror.
Just when she was thinking about launching a series of attacks, the opponent disappeared.
This was something she had never expected, and it caused huge waves of shock in her heart.
Seeing the large number of Black Armored Army rushing up from the corner of the street, she no longer hesitated, and immediately rushed to the river, jumped, and jumped into the icy river water.
It disappeared in an instant.
It all happened so fast that it was over before the people on the street could react.
Lu Changsheng stood on the street, his eyes full of coldness.
He knew without thinking that it was a master from the Wenxiang Sect who was trying to assassinate him.
He had just killed a guardian of the Wenxiang Sect, and then the assassination attempt came. How could it be such a coincidence?
It seems that he accidentally ruined someone's plan, which led to the other party taking the risk and assassinating him in the city.
"It seems that some forces that have been hidden for decades should not be underestimated."
Lu Changsheng became more and more alert.
He will definitely avenge this grudge someday.
A moment later.
Lu Changsheng put his thoughts aside and walked quickly forward.
The crowds on both sides looked at Lu Changsheng in awe.
They all saw the power of Lu Changsheng's attack just now.
The blade light and the speed of his body movements far exceeded those of warriors of the same level, it was simply astonishingly fast.
Everyone speculated that Lu Changsheng must have cultivated his body skills to an extremely high level, otherwise it would be impossible for him to have such speed.
Lu Changsheng and the old woman only fought once, and no one on the field could see the strength of the two.
You can only get a glimpse of the situation by relying on your speed of attack and your body movements.
But even so, it's scary.
As expected, he is a commoner who managed to break out of the siege among the apprentice demon-suppressing masters.
With this slight move, Lu Changsheng's fame gradually spread among these low-level warriors.
Soon after, he was given the nickname "Quick Knife", which made him feel a little amused and helpless.
When Lu Changsheng reached the end of the street, a large man from the Black Armor Army saluted with his fists clasped, his face quite respectful:
"I'm sorry to have frightened Lord Lu. I will immediately report this to the county magistrate and have him do everything in his power to eradicate this evil cult from the city."
He was only a squad leader of the Xuanjia Army, and his official position was not as high as Lu Changsheng's, so he naturally did not dare to neglect him.
"Thank you very much, brother."
Lu Changsheng smiled, quite kindly.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two of them left.
...
In a dark room.
The candlelight flickered.
"Report to the Lord, the mission has failed. This subordinate is guilty of death."
An old woman knelt on the ground, looking at the red-robed woman in front of her with awe.
"With your strength, why did you fail to kill a flesh-refining warrior?"
The woman was also quite confused.
"This person was extremely alert. He spotted me before I could even attack. He used his skills to dodge the blow."
"His strength is not weak either, he has reached the bone forging level."
The old woman gritted her teeth, her face full of resentment.
She also knew the consequences of mission failure. Although she would not die, she did not want to endure that feeling for a moment.
"Go down and accept the punishment yourself."
The woman in red waved her hand.
"I respect your orders."
The old woman stood up and slowly backed away.
...
As soon as Lu Changsheng returned to the Demon Suppression Office, he reported the matter to his immediate superior, Qin Ruobing.
"Oh? Are you saying they were attacked just now? Do you suspect the demon from the Wenxiang Sect was responsible?"
Qin Ruobing frowned slightly.
"I will discuss this matter with the county magistrate as soon as possible. You go back and wait for a few days for the news."
"I respect your orders."
Lu Changsheng bowed, turned around and walked back.
Seeing Lu Changsheng's disappearing back, Qin Ruobing's eyes became a little vague.
She is still very optimistic about Lu Changsheng, the rising star.
Since he only had such a good talent under his command, he naturally took good care of him.
Now that group of monsters actually dared to attack in the street, which was simply a challenge to the authority of the entire Monster Suppression Bureau.
She had to act quickly.
The next few days.
Lu Changsheng has been waiting for news at home.
At the same time, the clone was also searching for the fire crystal with all his might.
Finally, after three days, he reached the requirements of a martial art.
Open the panel.
Source energy points: 200.
"Add some."
Lu Changsheng's mind moved, and he pointed towards the [Spiral Nine Changes].
A mysterious wave descended, as if a powerful person was practicing footwork in his mind day and night.
My mind was filled with afterimages, more and more, as if there was no limit.
[After twenty years of hard practice, you have finally mastered the Nine Spiral Transformations to perfection.]
