"How did you do it?"

Qi Wuyong widened his eyes, stared at Su Mu in the flames, and asked in a deep voice.

"You mean this?"

Su Mu waved his hand, and the flames seemed to be obedient and automatically bypassed him and Wan Qing.

With just a wave of his hand, a vacuum zone without fire appeared around him.

Qi Wuyong's eyes widened, full of disbelief.

The flames did not burn him because he had mastered the Nine Dragons True Fire Formation.

But what is the basis for this Taiping Commander?
"The formation is on him. If we kill him, the formation will be lifted."

Wan Qing looked surprised and said weakly.

He already understood what was going on.

Although it is hard to believe, this is the only possibility that could lead to such a scenario.

The Divine Phoenix Rebirth Technique!

The body of the divine phoenix will not burn if it enters the fire!

Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, Su Mu had already mastered the Divine Phoenix Rebirth Technique.

Wan Qing looked relieved.

But now is not the time to be happy, they are still in danger.

Wan Qing quickly reminded Su Mu.

If he wanted Su Mu to leave before, it was because he knew that Su Mu was only at the Blood Exchange Realm. If the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow lost its effect, then Su Mu would definitely not be a match for Qi Wuyong.

But now, he has gained confidence.

Being able to enter fire without being burned shows that Su Mu’s Divine Phoenix Body has at least reached perfection.

That means that Su Mu has become a highly accomplished warrior.

Also in the Rebirth Stage, Su Mu practiced the Taiping Division's Divine Phoenix Rebirth Technique, one of the most powerful rebirth techniques in the world.

Although Qi Wuyong is also in the state of rebirth, how can he compare with Su Mu?

Wan Qing felt like he saw his own child finally grow up, and he could finally rest assured in his old age.

Seeing Su Mu stepping forward, a smile appeared on his face.

"I don't know why you're not afraid of fire though."

Qi Wuyong narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Su Mu, and said coldly, "But that's it, in my Nine Dragons True Fire Formation, your Five Fires Heaven Shocking Bow is useless.

Without the Five Fires Shocking Heaven Bow, you are nothing more than a Taiping Commander, only at the Blood Exchange Stage.

Since the fire can't kill you, I will kill you with my own hands.

Just like how I killed that Taiping Captain named Huang before!"

A grim smile appeared on his face.

Although Qi Wuyong relies on his brain, it doesn't mean he is not good at using his hands.

The ninth-ranked murderer on the wanted list is not just a man with a good brain.

Qi Wuyong's skills are also not weak.

It was easy for him to torture and kill a small Taiping commander.

The reason why he hid in the Nine Dragons True Fire Formation just now was because he was afraid of the opponent's Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow, not because he was afraid of a small Taiping Commander!

Qi Wuyong moved his shoulders, and his joints made a crackling sound.

Su Mu put the Five Fires Heaven-shaking Bow on his back and drew out the Thunder Blade.

"So, you killed Uncle Huang?
In that case, you can go die."

Su Mu said slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up.

call!
The flames were driven by the strong wind and suddenly formed a fire dragon that attacked.

Qi Wuyong snorted coldly, turned his wrist, and a judge's pen appeared in his hand. With a swish, he pointed at the two eyes of the fire dragon.

Ding!
Two crisp metallic sounds were heard, almost overlapping.

In a flash, Qi Wu used the Judge's Pen in his hand to hit the blade of the Thunder Blade twice.

The surging power coming from his hand made Qi Wuyong involuntarily take a step back.

There was a look of horror on his face.

"No, you are not in the blood exchange stage!"

Although he broke Su Mu's attack, there was no joy on Qi Wuyong's face.

This power definitely cannot be at the blood exchange level!
and--

Lihuo mood!

A bright red knife light was reflected in Qi Wuyong's pupils.

He raised the judge's pen in a panic.

boom!
He plowed the ground with his feet and his body slid backwards uncontrollably. He slid several feet before he managed to steady himself.

Before he could catch his breath, Su Mu had already jumped high and chopped him down from top to bottom with a knife.

With a loud bang, the energy is released.

Qi Wuyong fell to his knees with a thud.

He raised his hands high, used the Judge's Pen to hold the blade of the Thunder Blade, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

He felt his knees were shattered.

"you--"

As soon as Qi Wuyong opened his mouth, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

This is not the state of mind of Lihuo!
It is the artistic conception of Xunfeng!
No, it’s the artistic conception of Xunfeng and Lihuo!

This overly young Taiping Commander actually mastered two artistic conceptions!

"You are too weak."

Su Mu said lightly, and kicked Qi Wuyong away.

Qi Wuyong's eyes showed rage.

Why do you say I'm too weak?
I am Qi Wuyong, and have achieved perfect cultivation in the Rebirth Stage. Although I have not comprehended the artistic conception, I have comprehended two kinds of power. In the Rebirth Stage, I am definitely not a weakling.

It's not that I'm too weak, it's that you're too perverted!
Qi Wuyong looked up and saw Su Mu's figure following him closely. The anger in his eyes instantly turned into fear.

"Do not--"

The screams stopped abruptly, and Su Mu, holding the Thunder Blade, passed by Qi Wuyong.

Qi Wuyong fell to the ground with a bang, and a clear red line appeared on his neck. The red line spread rapidly and blood gushed out.

Qi Wuyong covered his neck in vain, struggled a few times, and then became motionless.

Su Mu flashed to Qi Wuyong's side, touched his chest, and took out a small command flag.

"Uncle Wan!"

Su Mu flashed again to Wan Qing, who was trying his best to resist the flames, and stuffed the flag into Wan Qing's hand.

He didn't know how to control the Nine Dragons True Fire Formation.

The moment Wan Qing took the command flag, the flames that were about to devour him immediately retreated obediently.

He breathed a sigh of relief and waved the command flag with a serious expression.

The flames around the other white-haired Taiping captains also receded.

Those white-haired captains were in a miserable state, their hair and eyebrows were burnt clean, and their brocade and black shirts were also tattered. If it weren't for the embroidered words on the chests of the brocade and black shirts with defensive functions, I'm afraid they would have been running naked now.

"Lao Wan, if you were any slower, we would be cooked."

An old lieutenant spoke up.

"You are useless, so you blame me?"

Wan Qing said sarcastically.

"How f*cking much better are you than me? If it weren't for Xiao Su, you'd be turned to ash by now."

The old lieutenant curled his lips and said, "Mutually mocking each other is the way these old guys get along."

They can turn their backs to each other on the battlefield, but without the war, don't expect them to live in peace.

Cursing each other was the least of their worries. When they were in the city, they would fight every now and then.

"Uncle Wan, let's break this formation first."

Su Mu said with a smile.

These old men were already at the end of their strength. Although the fire on their bodies had been put out, they were all injured, and it was not easy for them to survive in such a high temperature environment.

Wan Qing now obeyed Su Mu's words and smiled dotingly.

"Look at me."

Holding the command flag, Wan Qing muttered something.

He walked forward a few steps, moved sideways a few steps, then squatted down and used the steel knife in his hand to dig out a half-foot square white disk from the ground.

hum!
I don't know how he fiddled with it for a while, but a burst of light emanated from the white disc, and then flames all over the sky were sucked into the white disc in an instant. Then the light shield began to shrink and finally retracted into the white disc.

"nice one."

Wan Qing patted the white round plate in his hand and a smile appeared on his face.

"This array is as valuable as the Five Fires Sky-shaking Bow. Keep it well. You never know when it might come in handy."

Wan Qing handed the white round plate and the command flag to Su Mu and said casually.

These are all Su Mu’s spoils of war.

Su Mu did not refuse and sent Bai Biyuan and Lingqi to his subordinates.

Turning around, he saw several white-haired Taiping captains venting their anger at Qi Wuyong's corpse.

"Poor old Huang, a hero in his lifetime, ended up dying at the hands of such a villain."

Wan Qing also spat twice, strode to Qi Wuyong's body, and kicked him hard twice.

"Qi Wuyong, ranked ninth on the wanted criminal list!"

Wan Qing snorted coldly, "Even a character like this has come to attack our Taiping Division. Do you really think that the Taiping Division is no longer viable?"

Wan Qing's face looked very ugly.

In the past, the criminals on the wanted list had to avoid the people from the Taiping Division. How could they dare to provoke the Taiping Division?

The Taiping Division is their nemesis!
But ever since the death of the two marquises and the establishment of the Supervisory Office by the imperial court, all kinds of evildoers have dared to jump out and provoke the Taiping Office.

Su Mu looked at Qi Wuyong's body and also felt the changes.

Think about how glorious it was when he first joined the Taiping Division.
The four major families in the inner city of Wuling City were polite and showed enough respect to the Taiping Commander.

The criminals on the wanted list simply don’t dare to appear in front of the people from the Taiping Division.

Now, Qi Wuyong dares to take the initiative to provoke the Taiping Division.

In the past, this would have been unimaginable.

The death of the two marquises had a huge impact on the Taiping Division.

If the two marquises had not died suddenly, how could forces like Shennong Baicao Sect and Shenbing Pavilion dare to force the palace?

How could the imperial court dare to set up an inspectorate?
"The two marquises have fallen, but we still have so many commanders, pacification envoys, Taiping lieutenants and Taiping commanders in the Taiping Division. How dare they do that?"

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"You are right. Although two marquises have fallen, we still have so many people in the Taiping Division. They underestimated our Taiping Division."

Wan Qing sneered, "The two marquises have not yet passed away, but those people in the court can't wait to weaken the power of our Taiping Division.

Little do they know that we in the Taiping Division never care about these powers.

If it weren't for our Taiping Division, could they live in peace and prosperity all day long?
If they really anger our Taiping Division, they will know what kind of existence they have provoked!"

The other old captain also had a sneer on his face.

The power of the Taiping Division never came from anyone's gift, but was fought for by everyone in the Taiping Division.

Su Mu shook his head. When it came to the power struggle at the top, he was just a small Taiping Commander and couldn't care less.

As long as these people don't mess with him, it will be fine.

If you really provoke him, he won't tolerate you.

Qi Wuyong is a lesson for us.

"Uncle Wan, as I recall, arresting the criminals on the wanted list is also one of the duties of our Taiping Division, right?
Qi Wuyong is ranked ninth on the wanted criminal list. Does killing him count as a merit?"

Su Mu stroked his chin and said.

"of course."

Wan Qing nodded and said, "He is not only the ninth most wanted criminal on the wanted list, but he also killed the Taiping Captain, and even a few of us almost died in his hands.

Qi Wuyong has reached the stage of rebirth, and his strength is equivalent to that of a second-level monster.

Killing a second-level monster independently as a Taiping Commander..."

Wan Qing looked embarrassed.

If you are a Taiping Captain, you can get 2,000 points of merit by killing a second-level monster independently.

But the Taiping Commander...

Under normal circumstances, it is basically impossible for the Taiping Commander to deal with a second-level monster independently.

If the Taiping Commander encounters a second-level monster alone, he will basically die.

If I can kill it independently, it will be almost enough, although it is not enough for a special achievement.

"What are you dithering about?"

An old lieutenant nearby said, "Xiao Su has done so many things, but he is not worth 10,000 merits?
He saved these old guys! He also avenged Old Huang!
I feel that 10,000 merits is too little!"

"I'm considering whether I can apply for another special merit for him."

Wan Qing rolled his eyes at him and curled his lips.

Several old captains took a look at the collar of Su Mu's uniform.

The uniform that Su Mu was wearing was no different from that of an ordinary Taiping Duwei, except that there was an extra cloud pattern on the lapel.

That is a symbol of special merit.

Anyone who has achieved special merit is eligible to have cloud patterns embroidered on his lapels.

A cloud pattern is a special achievement.

This is a symbol of honor.

With this cloud pattern, even if Su Mu is only a Taiping Commandant, he does not need to salute when meeting a Taiping Colonel or even a Pacification Envoy.

This is not a privilege, but an honor, and it is the respect for military achievements by the entire Taiping Division.

Two cloud patterns...

The breathing of the old men began to become heavy.

In the history of Wuling Taiping Division, no one had ever had two cloud patterns on his lapels.

"The lives of us old guys are not that important. I'm afraid they are not enough for a special achievement."

Wan Qing finally regained his senses and shook his head.

The last time Su Mu received special merit was because he turned the tide and saved Wuling City from a level 5 monster tide.

In comparison, this incident was too small.

The ninth-ranked criminal on the wanted list cannot be compared with the fifth-level monster wave.

"How about this, I will approve 15,000 merit points."

Wan Qing thought about it.

"It doesn't matter how much I have achieved. I just did what I was supposed to do."

Su Mu said calmly, even though 15,000 merit points were something an ordinary Taiping Duwei could not earn in a year, he did not feel the slightest bit of ripple in his heart.

He only cares about one thing.

"Master Wan, you see, I have now broken through to the Transcendence Realm, and I have also made achievements. Can I be promoted to Taiping Captain?"

Su Mu said seriously, "I remember that according to the rules of our Taiping Division, if one of the two is met, one can be promoted to Taiping Lieutenant. I think the burden on my shoulders can be increased."
