The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 669 The Evil Dao Master, the Supreme Blade Perfected (Seeking monthly votes~)

Above the Thunder Mountain Range, amidst the howling wind, a figure stood suspended in mid-air.

His expression was cold as he looked down at the surrounding enemies, like a chilling and ruthless evil god.

"The Garrison Command!"

His voice was low and hoarse, like countless tiny insects crawling in his trachea, or like rotten iron chains being dragged through a dry well.

During the Long'an Rebellion, he, from the Evil Extreme Path, participated. His initial intention was to coordinate with various parties to test the Zhenfu Division's bottom line. However, the Zhenfu Division's resolve far exceeded his expectations. Moreover, the dynasty's strength, scale, and foundation also far surpassed his previous assessments.

As a result of this incident, the Northern Border Garrison intervened forcefully, forming a siege to annihilate him. The Evil Path suffered a devastating blow, with its headquarters destroyed and a large number of its elite troops killed in the battle.

The orthodox tradition is collapsing and on the verge of collapse.

He disregarded his lifespan, took secret medicines, used secret techniques, and employed his life-saving trump cards to forcibly elevate his combat power to the extreme of pseudo-celestial being, fighting for his life to break through the encirclement.

In the chaos, besides him, many other masters of the Evil Path managed to escape the encirclement. This barely preserved the last vestige of the Evil Path's tradition.

just
With the crisis still unresolved, it's likely that most of these escaped experts have perished in the pursuit of the Zhenfu Division.

He fought his way across tens of thousands of miles, constantly fleeing and changing his whereabouts, before finally turning back and escaping the encirclement and suppression by the elite troops of the Zhenfu Division.

"Berserk Blade!"

His gaze was icy, with a hint of madness lurking beneath.

How can we not avenge the destruction of our headquarters?!
Killing Mangdao here is like collecting interest first.

If we killed Mang Dao here, the Zhenfu Division would probably feel quite bad about it, right?

Even within the Northern Territory Garrison, this rising star carries considerable weight. With careful nurturing, given time, he could become a formidable figure.

If he were to kill such a person, he could quell the hatred in his heart.

just
He stood suspended in mid-air, his eyes shifting.

A few breaths later, he flicked his sleeves and flew away.

As the wind howled, his robes billowed, revealing the stark white bones beneath.

In this fierce battle, he suffered severe injuries, losing more than a hundred years of his lifespan, and his condition was far from its peak. Even now, he has not recovered much of his vitality.

In this situation, killing Mang Dao would be more than enough, but if it caused a commotion and attracted attention, it would not be a good thing for him.

Having finally fought his way out of the encirclement, he didn't want to go through it again. He could have fought his way out before, but that might not be the case now.

He didn't want to take any risks until he had fully recovered from his injuries.

The most urgent task is not killing Mang Dao, but finding a safe place as soon as possible to recuperate and recover.
The power of a powerful pseudo-celestial being!
Once I've fully recovered from my injuries, I can easily wipe out those scoundrels with a single hand. At that time, it won't be too late to seek revenge.

Even if there are some risks, we can afford to bear them with our full strength.

"Brawler! Keep your head on your body for now, and we'll come back for it when you've fully recovered!"

Blood Nightmare Luo's figure shot away, transforming into a streak of light, and left the place.

The Lord of the Evil Path, Blood Nightmare Luo!

The thunderous encirclement and suppression campaign has put the situation in a very favorable position.

In just half a month, the chaos was basically quelled. Although a few escaped, they were unable to cause any significant trouble under the heavy crackdown.

It's only a matter of time before the thunderous situation is completely quelled.

The cessation of chaos is a good thing for most people in Leiming. But for those forces that control the ecosystem of interests, it may not be so good.

Previously, they used the influence of evil spirits to control the ecosystem of interests, and through the power of selection, squeezed out the commercial interests of small and medium-sized forces, thereby expanding their share in a disguised way.

Through this back and forth, they reaped considerable benefits.

However, the ruthless methods of the Mangdao gang, which quelled the chaos, blocked this path to wealth for them.

With the demons subsided and the thunderous roars quelled, commerce flourished again. Their ambition to seize control of the profit-sharing ecosystem was clearly unsustainable. Smaller and medium-sized forces, whose share of the profits had been squeezed out, gradually returned to business, and their interests naturally suffered.

Under such circumstances, many forces naturally felt dissatisfied.

However, despite their dissatisfaction, Lei Ming's momentum was already established, and Mang Dao's power was unparalleled. No matter how much dissatisfaction they had, they could only keep it to themselves.

As the chaos subsided and the situation stabilized, Chen Ping'an gradually regained his previous composure.

He works long hours, often going on business trips and slacking off. Aside from a few special occasions where he needs to host, he never participates in any other events.

In this situation, Chen Ping'an finally accumulated enough experience.

Overlord Blade, perfect!
boom!
Inside the meditation room, a domineering and sharp sword intent swept through, as if a king of swords had appeared.

The spiritual barriers surrounding the meditation room flickered, showing signs of collapse. If it weren't for the Azure Flame Four Directions Command Flags swirling around, these spiritual barriers probably wouldn't have lasted this long.

"Dominator's Domain!"

Chen Ping'an showed a satisfied expression, and the fierce aura of the Overlord Blade on his body gradually subsided until it disappeared completely.

His eyes flickered slightly, and a golden finger panel appeared in front of him.

Name: Chen Ping'an
Realm: Late stage of Jade Balance - Breakthrough three stages (Nurturing the Divine Soul)
武学：青阳血炼法入门（0/5760）颠鸾倒凤·阴阳枢入门（0/8640）、太虚御风步小成（0/5760）七杀天罡拳小成（65/3840）、霸刀圆满、七绝神功圆满、万魔铸身诀圆满
As he had expected, the Overlord Blade technique reached its peak. Although the assistance provided by the Golden Finger panel was considerable, it clearly did not allow him to advance further in his martial arts realm and truly enter the third stage of the breakthrough realm.

However, the breakthrough of the Overlord Blade still brings considerable benefits.

Above his brow and soul platform, the divine soul within his spiritual fruit seemed to have gained a touch more, appearing even more agile and active.

He attempted to break through to the next realm using nine spiritual runes, each step of which would be extremely difficult. But equally, each step would be extremely solid.

The effects after a breakthrough will far surpass those of cultivators at the same level.

In addition, having perfected the Overlord Blade technique, he also mastered its ultimate secret technique, the Overlord's Domain. As a wide-area, all-encompassing attack, this is an indispensable tool for Chen Ping'an.

Having acquired this secret technique, his strength and foundation have been further enhanced.

Reaching the pinnacle of the Overlord Blade technique means that Chen Ping'an has mastered another supreme divine skill, and his understanding of martial arts has deepened considerably.

After mastering the Overlord Technique, he focused his subsequent cultivation efforts on the Seven Killing Heavenly Fist.

The Seven Killing Heavenly Fist is of a much higher grade than the Overlord Blade, but fortunately, with the Snow Spirit Leaf as an enhancement, the overall cultivation progress is not too slow.

He has now mastered three of the seven killing fist techniques of the Seven Killing Heavenly Fist. If he can master them to perfection, he will be able to obtain two more killing fist techniques.

With such an enhancement, his offensive power will undoubtedly become more pronounced.

At that time, once the killing fist is unleashed, it will possess extremely strong killing power, even against pseudo-celestial beings.

If other means are used, even a pseudo-celestial being at a powerful level will need to deal with it with all their might and will not dare to be careless in the slightest.

In the following days, Chen Ping'an devoted himself to practicing the Seven Killings Heavenly Fist.

They thought life would continue like this, but unexpectedly, some different voices emerged in Thunder City.

Behind all these voices lies one organization.

Qiankun Division, Leiming Branch.

There was a high-ranking official from the Qiankun Division who impeached Mangdao for his stubbornness, radical methods, disregard for the people's plight, and excessive taxation. Although he carried out a campaign of encirclement and suppression, it ultimately harmed the overall interests of the country.

This impeachment initially had very little impact, but gradually gained momentum over time.

The impeachment process listed numerous charges, including the decline of the interests of certain forces, which were used as evidence to substantiate the case.

During the rampage of evil, the interests of the faction could still be maintained. However, with the Mang Dao group's encirclement and suppression efforts, these interests became increasingly unstable and declined day by day.

Furthermore, this campaign has been extremely costly and exhausting, leaving all parties involved in the operation suffering immense losses in terms of manpower and resources.

Due to the power of the Mangdao, various forces dared not speak out. However, the Leiming Qiankun Division has the power to supervise. After learning about this matter, it should take pity on the people's feelings, speak out for justice, and impeach Mangdao Chen Ping'an!
Furthermore, bestowing the title of Blood Owl Gang by imperial decree is contrary to orthodoxy and constitutes an act of arbitrariness, which is an even greater crime.

This precedent must not be set, this practice must not be allowed. If everyone follows suit, then the law will collapse, discipline will be lost, and endless disasters will follow.

This impeachment was not only submitted to the Leiming Garrison Command, but also simultaneously sent to the Canglong Prefecture Garrison Command through special channels. It is requested that the Canglong Prefecture Garrison Command dispatch a special envoy to investigate this matter, conduct a self-examination and rectification, and avert disaster.

Furthermore, the Azure Dragon Qiankun Division will conduct an in-depth investigation into this matter to determine whether there is anything suspicious about Mang Dao's motives and actions!
Similar remarks quickly spread like wildfire!

"Impeachment by the Qiankun Division? That's really good!"

Chen Ping'an had just finished a day of cultivation when he received the news of the Qiankun Division's impeachment.

He has gained many insights recently. After consuming the Snow Spirit Leaf, his cultivation of the Seven Killings Heavenly Gang Fist has progressed much faster than expected. At this rate, he should be able to master the Seven Killings Heavenly Gang Fist in less than two months.

Upon learning of the impeachment by the Qiankun Division, Chen Ping'an remained calm, his face showing no emotion whatsoever.

This matter is probably not solely the idea of ​​the Qiankun Division; there may be other forces behind it.

It seems that this crackdown has truly affected the interests of many people.

Two days later, Feng Wuhen sent an urgent message asking whether the encirclement and suppression should be postponed.

It was clear that Feng Wuhen had also heard about the impeachment against the Qiankun Division.

While the overall situation has stabilized during the current encirclement and suppression campaign, failing to seize the opportunity to wipe out any remaining evil forces could lead to endless future troubles.

These evil spirits will cling to the thunder like a malignant tumor, secretly stirring up storms and wreaking havoc on the region.

Such a situation was naturally not something Chen Ping'an could allow.

"Tell Feng Wuhen that this matter need not be addressed. Focus all efforts on encircling and annihilating them in one battle, and restore order to Leiming! Also, inform all the officers that after the mission is accomplished, I will personally recommend them for credit!"

"Yes, sir." Inside the office, the steward respectfully responded and then hurriedly withdrew.

The military situation is urgent and cannot be delayed!

The slightest lapse could lead to a major mistake.

After the person in charge left, Chen Ping'an gently tapped the table.

"Impeachment?" Chen Ping'an smiled, and in a flash of inspiration, the impeachment notice from the Qiankun Division in front of him was completely reduced to ashes.

Since he began his cultivation, has he faced few impeachments yet?

These are just minor tricks, nothing to brag about!
The Qiankun Division possesses special communication channels, enabling it to deliver impeachments against Mangdao Chen Ping'an at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary express mail. The impeachments were quickly sent to the Canglong Qiankun Division and simultaneously to the Canglong Prefecture Zhenfu Division.

"Impeach the Brute?"

Inside the Qiankun Division, the Deputy Envoy of Qiankun, who was in charge of the Golden Gong, showed a hint of surprise upon learning of Lei Ming's impeachment.

"interesting."

A smile played on his lips: "Prepare the carriage, I need to go to the State Garrison Command!"

"Yes, my lord."

Half a month later, the encirclement and suppression by Lei Ming was complete, and Feng Wuhen led the vanguard back to Lei Ming Town to report on his duties. A group of elite troops followed, stabilizing the situation before returning one after another.

On that day, thunder roared and the whole city cheered.

"Lord Chen, I have not failed you." Feng Wuhen dismounted, walked to Chen Ping'an, and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Ping'an greeted him with a smile.

This siege lasted for over a month, involving numerous intricate details, requiring immense effort even for top-tier grandmasters. Furthermore, the matter of the Qiankun Division's impeachment also posed a significant risk not only to Chen Ping'an but also to Feng Wuhen's side.

The environment and circumstances they face require them to bear immense pressure.

The elite troops returned to the city, and Wu Benqing, who was rarely seen on ordinary days, also appeared before everyone. His expression was warm, and he looked calm and composed.

This has led to a lot of speculation from the outside world.

"Lord Chen, you are truly young and promising! I admire you!" Wu Benqing said with a smile.

Wu Benqing acted as if nothing had happened.

"I greatly admire Lord Wu's composure," Chen Ping'an replied calmly.

"The actions of the Garrison Command are so complex that a single move can have far-reaching consequences, so how can we act rashly?" Wu Benqing smiled and narrowed his eyes, as if he hadn't understood the meaning behind Chen Ping'an's words.

Chen Ping'an had little patience for Wu Benqing. His time was precious, and he didn't want to waste it on this.

Seeing the elite troops return to the city, he left directly.

"Please take care, Lord Chen."

Wu Benqing stood still, with a warm smile.

"Return to the Garrison Command."

"Yes, my lord."

Three days later, the Thunderclap Garrison Command mobilized a large force and held a victory banquet. On the same day, Chen Ping'an submitted a memorial to the Canglong Prefecture Garrison Command, requesting commendations for the elite troops.

Xiong Sanrang and others were prominently featured on the list.

Furthermore, Chen Ping'an brought up the matter of bestowing official titles upon the Blood Owl Gang once again. He had previously reported this matter after returning to the Thunderous Garrison and stabilizing the situation. He analyzed the pros and cons, explained the reasons, and requested authorization from the Azure Dragon Prefecture Garrison.

In this urgent matter, we urge the State Garrison to exercise expediency and request their understanding. With the imperial decree in place, the situation in the Thunder Mountain Range can be gradually addressed. Given time, the predicament in Thunder Mountain will resolve itself.

The Thunder Mountain Range is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are also vested interests involved. Canglong Prefecture had tried several times before, but all failed to eliminate it. Now, Chen Ping'an's strategy, although it may not be the best, has successful precedents, so it is definitely worth a try.

However, while this is a good thing, it will likely face considerable obstacles.

His impeachment is likely motivated not only by Lei Ming's interests but also by the intentions of others.

However, Chen Ping'an didn't care about these things.

Instead of searching for them yourself, it's better to wait for these monsters and demons to emerge on their own.

Save time and effort, and catch everything!
Five more days passed.

Judging by the timeline, the Great Qian Hidden Dragon Ranking, which is updated every six months, should have been updated long ago.

But this time, for some unknown reason, the update time of the Hidden Dragon Ranking was delayed.

Such events have occurred in previous years' Hidden Dragon Lists, but overall they are not very common.

I wonder what happened?

During his trip to the Thunder Mountains, he displayed combat power that surpassed that of ordinary martial arts grandmasters. With all his techniques employed, he could even rival those powerful grandmasters. If the Hidden Dragon Ranking were updated, it's unknown where he would rank.

Chen Ping'an didn't care much about his ranking on the Hidden Dragon List. However, he was concerned about the significance and power behind the ranking.

The higher one's ranking on the Hidden Dragon List, the higher their status in the Zhenfu Division.

Provided there is sufficient security, his position in the Zhenfu Division will naturally rise higher and higher. The higher the position, the more advanced the level of things he can access.

The more information and items you can acquire, the more you will be able to obtain.

Such treatment would greatly benefit him, whether he was plotting to acquire a great treasure or scheming for something else.

Besides resolving Lei Ming's matter, he also harbored this intention when he revealed his combat power.

His current combat strength is far above that of ordinary pseudo-celestial beings. He openly displays a cultivation level of the mid-stage of Jade Balance and the combat strength of a Grandmaster, which is not particularly outstanding.

The difference in combat power between the two still leaves enough room for safety.

Several more days passed.

Chen Ping'an didn't receive an update to the Hidden Dragon Ranking, but instead received a transfer order from the Canglong Prefecture Garrison.

Order Chen Ping'an, the shrewd swordsman, to resign from his post as the chief inspector of the Thunderous Garrison, hand over all matters concerning Thunderous Garrison within three days, and return to Azure Dragon to await further orders.

This incident caused a stir, stirring up a storm and creating a turbulent undercurrent.
