start running.

Zhang Wangyue seemed to recall his youth.

At that time, he was learning martial arts from his master, who often took a rattan stick and beat him while telling him to run faster.

That was his unforgettable youth.

He could never have imagined that even though he was already a pacification commissioner, he would be told by a Taiping captain to run away.

He improved Su Mu almost like a conditioned reflex, and in a few breaths, he had left Xu Chongyuan and his companions more than ten feet behind.

Only then did he react.

its not right.

I am the pacification commissioner and he is a Taiping captain. Why should I listen to him?
Zhang Wangyue subconsciously wanted to slow down, but suddenly he remembered what Xu Chongyuan said, and the expression on his face immediately became extremely solemn.

Is Shao Santong, the fourth-rank inspector of the Hujuguan Inspection Office, a traitor?

He colluded with the Demon Court and wanted to attack Huju Pass with internal and external cooperation?
Su Mu from Wuling Taiping Division was dealing with that reptile, and temporarily blocked the demon army of the Demon Court with his own strength?
Any one of them feels like a fantasy.

But any one of them is big news that is enough to shock the Tiger Pass.

Zhang Wangyue couldn't understand why people from Wuling Taiping Division appeared outside the Huju Pass?
And being chased by the demon soldiers from the Demon Court?

Wuling is hundreds of miles away from Huju Pass.

Could it be that these people grew wings and flew over from Daxing Mountain?

"How do you prove that you are from Wuling Taiping Division?"

Zhang Wangyue realized it later and turned around and said loudly.

"Run, don't stop!"

Xu Chongyuan shouted, "Saving people is like saving a fire. You haven't heard of my name Xu Chongyuan, but have you never heard of Su Mu's name?
Su Mu, ranked second on the Dragon and Tiger Rebirth List, defeated Wenren Jiangbo with one sword!
If you watch someone die without helping, you will be a sinner of the Taiping Division!
It was you who killed a future Marquis of Taiping with your own hands!"

Zhang Wangyue: “…”

Where the hell did this little bastard come from? Are you threatening me?

I asked you to prove your identity, not to threaten me!
How can you threaten me, Zhang Wangyue?

"Boy, just wait for me!"

Zhang Wangyue shouted, "Keep an eye on them, I'm going back to Huju Pass first!"

At this time, the Taiping Captain of the Taiping Division in Hujuguan Pass had caught up and met Zhang Wangyue head-on.

Zhang Wangyue gave an order and walked quickly towards Huju Pass without stopping.

That kid was right. If it was really that Su Mu, he absolutely could not watch him get into trouble.

Wuling Su Mu, this name is now very famous within the Taiping Division.

The limit of body tempering, the magical power of the flesh, eleven times blood transfusion, and the state of great achievement.

If this happened to any other warrior, any one of them could be called a genius, but Su Mu did it all.

He is the rising star of the Taiping Division.

No one doubts that as long as Su Mu survives, he will at least be a commander-level figure in the future, and even becoming the Marquis of Taiping is not impossible.

If such a genius died outside Huju Pass, all the people in the Huju Pass Taiping Division would just find a piece of tofu and kill themselves.

If these guys dare to lie to him, he, Zhang Wangyue, is not someone to be trifled with!
"Damn reptile, if you dare to eat Su Mu, I, the Tiger Juguan Taiping Division, will kill you at all costs!"

Zhang Wangyue's heart was also filled with urgency.

According to the news, Su Mu should only be in the rebirth stage. Although no one knows how he dealt with the reptile, no matter how talented he is, it is impossible for him to deal with the reptile for too long.

Zhang Wangyue finally understood why those little guys from the Wuling Taiping Division were so anxious and refused to stop even to talk.

Whether it is to save Su Mu or the matter of the traitor in Huju Pass, it is urgent.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Zhang Wangyue ran away leaving a trail of afterimages and returned to the outside of Huju Pass at the fastest speed.

"Open the city gate, I want to enter the city!"

Zhang Wangyue shouted loudly.

The gate of Huju Pass was closed tightly. Zhang Wangyue had already run to the foot of the city, but there was still no sign of the gate opening.

"Open the city gate!"

Zhang Wangyue frowned and shouted, "Where is Qian Yunshan? I am Zhang Wangyue!"

At this moment, a figure appeared on the top of the city wall.

The man was wearing a white police uniform with a large round patch on the chest with the word "监" embroidered on it.

Supervisory Department, Supervisory Commissioner.

"It turned out to be Envoy Zhang."

Shao Santong looked down at Zhang Wangyue and said loudly, "Since you are the governor, we should open the city gate and let you in.

But I don’t know if you are really the governor Zhang, so please prove that you are the governor Zhang Wangyue, and I will open the city gate and let you in.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Wangyue became furious.

"Shao Santong, open your dog eyes and see clearly, who am I if not Zhang Wangyue?"

Zhang Wangyue was originally a little skeptical about what the kid from Wuling Taipingsi said, but now it seems that there is a 70% chance that what the kid said is true.

Shao Santong might really be a traitor!
But Zhang Wangyue was not stupid, he did not reveal Shao Santong's identity.

Now he is outside the city and Shao Santong is on the top of the city wall. Even if Shao Santong's identity is revealed, the soldiers on the top of the city wall may not believe it. Instead, it will force Shao Santong to do something desperate.

Once I enter the city, I can capture Shao Santong directly.

"That's hard to say."

Shao Santong said, "I heard that the monsters in the Monster Court have mastered the method of transforming into human form. How do I know that you are not a monster in the Monster Court?
If we let you in, who will bear the consequences?"

"Bullshit! Since when did you take charge of Huju Pass? Qian Yunshan, let him come over!"

Zhang Wangyue said angrily.

Qian Yunshan is the commander-in-chief of the Hujuguan border defense force and one of the important figures in Hujuguan.

The soldiers on the city wall are all Qian Yunshan's men.

"General Qian was assassinated a few days ago and is now recovering in his mansion."

Shao Santong said, “According to the court’s rules, during special periods, the Supervisory Department will temporarily take over the city defense.

Even General Qian was assassinated, how could I not be cautious?

So, if you can't prove that you are Zhang Wangyue, don't blame me for being rude."

He waved his hand, and a row of inspectors appeared on the top of the city wall.

Those inspectors all held magic-destroying crossbows and aimed them at Zhang Wangyue who was standing under the city.

At the same time, the soldiers on the city wall also drew their bows at Zhang Wangyue.

As long as Shao Santong gives the order, Zhang Wangyue will be attacked by a rain of arrows.

Even if Zhang Wangyue was a strong man in the Zhenyuan realm, facing the attack of so many arrows, there would be only one outcome.

Zhang Wangyue's heart sank, and he thought to himself that something terrible was going to happen.

He had previously asked those little guys from Wuling Taiping Division to prove their identities.

Now the retribution comes so quickly, and it is his turn to prove that he is Zhang Wangyue.

How the hell do you prove this?

But even if it could be proven, it would be useless.

It is now clear that Shao Santong is the traitor. I don't know what means he used to get rid of Qian Yunshan. He is clearly targeting me now.

As long as you can't prove yourself, you can't enter Huju Pass!
Zhang Wangyue reached out and grasped the badge at his waist, ready to use it to contact everyone in the Taiping Division in the city.

The badge vibrated slightly, but the message was not sent.

Zhang Wangyue's pupils contracted. Obviously, someone had used a formation to disable the communication function of the Taiping Division waist badge!

This kind of thing is not uncommon in Huju Pass. Huju Pass is an important border town and has formations set up there.

During wartime, all communication within and outside the city is prohibited.

However, he could not contact the people of the Taiping Division in the city and therefore could not ask for help.

If you want to climb up the city wall, those magic-destroying crossbows on the top of the city wall are not just for show.

"Shao Santong, open the city gate. After I enter the city, I will find a way to prove my identity."

Zhang Wangyue took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Or, you can ask Commander Yang to come to the top of the city. He can prove my identity!"

"Commander Yang has a heavy responsibility. If he has to prove his identity to anyone, he will be too busy to handle it."

Shao Santong sneered, "I think you are a monster in disguise, shoot!"

Zheng! Zheng!
The sound of bowstrings rang out, and immediately hundreds of crossbow arrows were shot down.

Zhang Wangyue was shocked and angry. He drew his sword and tried to block and dodge.

Huju Pass is an important border town, and the city is famous for its ruggedness and solidity.

Even for a fourth- or fifth-level monster, it would be almost impossible for them to climb up the city wall.

Zhang Wangyue waved his sword to block several crossbow arrows, then lunged forward and rolled into the doorway of the city gate, which was a blind spot for crossbow arrows.

boom!
Zhang Wangyue chopped the city gate with his sword.

The heavy city gate remained motionless.

At this moment, a group of people caught up from a distance.

Zhang Wangyue's face changed.

As expected, he heard Shao Santong shouting, "It is indeed a monster that came to steal the gate of Huju Pass, and it even has accomplices!

Brothers, shoot me! "

"Don't come over here, go away!"

Zhang Wangyue shouted loudly, no longer caring about hiding, and rushed towards Xu Chongyuan and others.

…………

Gudong.

The appearance of the originally ugly gecko has obviously changed.

Its body became more slender, and the scales on its body turned dark green, revealing a sense of vastness and heaviness. It was countless times more beautiful than before.

And there was actually a horn on its forehead.

It opened its mouth and swallowed Su Mu's bloody body. Light appeared on its body again, and the horn on its forehead, which was originally just a rudimentary form, slowly grew again.

Su Mu staggered and sat down on the ground.

His face was pale, and he looked weak and powerless, as if he had drunk too much alcohol and had sex too much.

He wasn't pretending, he was really weak.

In less than a day, he had used Blood Body three times, consuming half of his blood each time.

The Xuanhuang blood in his body only had one eighth of its peak state left.

He felt like he was almost becoming a dried up person.

If he had not already reached the stage of Transcendence, he would probably not even have the strength to move.

"No way."

Su Mu looked at the drastically changed lizard and waved his hands, saying, "I need to take some supplements, otherwise, I will really die.

If I die, there will be no one to provide you with blood."

The lizard looked at Su Mu with a thoughtful look in its eyes.

I don’t know if it understood what Su Mu said.

Swish!
Its tongue suddenly stretched out like a long whip.

boom!
In the blink of an eye, the lizard's tongue retracted, and then a black shadow appeared in front of Su Mu.

That black shadow was actually a fourth-level monster!
The fourth-level monster was restrained by the lizard in some way, and lay stiffly on the ground with fear in its eyes.

"eat."

The lizard cannot speak human language, but it can convey its thoughts through thoughts.

Su Mu widened his eyes, looked at the fourth-level monster in front of him, and couldn't help swallowing.

Maybe this lizard has misunderstood?
Its understanding of nourishment is to devour monsters?
Speaking of which, it seems to be true for monsters.

The flesh and blood of a fourth-level monster is actually a great tonic for human warriors.

Isn’t it a bit too extravagant to eat a fourth-level monster?
A fourth-level monster is comparable to a human at the Jindan stage.

However, it would be a waste if you don’t eat it!

Su Mu drew out the Thunder Blade, struggled to stand up, and stabbed the fourth-level monster in the heart.

Fortunately, his Thunder Blade is a magical weapon, otherwise with his current strength, he might not be able to pierce the skin of this fourth-level monster.

The fourth-level monster opened its eyes wide, kicked its limbs violently, its eyes full of humiliation, and then slowly became motionless.

Su Mu gasped twice and regained some strength, then he cut off a large piece of meat from the monster.

He rubbed his hands together and a ball of flame wrapped around the large piece of meat.

The divine body of the Vermillion Bird, when combined with the fully developed Lihuo artistic conception, has exactly this kind of effect.

After the meat was roasted, Su Mu sat on the ground and started eating it with big mouthfuls.

He has lost too much blood and really needs a lot of nourishment now.

The flesh and blood of a fourth-level monster is no less effective than ordinary elixirs.

After eating a large piece of barbecue, Su Mu only felt a warm feeling in his stomach, and the feeling of weakness was finally reduced a lot.

The energy attached to the flesh and blood of the fourth-level monster began to merge into his body, and the four divine bodies began to operate. Xuanhuang blood was continuously produced from the bone marrow, replenishing the previous losses.

Su Mu selected the tenderest piece of meat from the corpse of the fourth-level monster, roasted it, and ate it voraciously.

He repeated this process over and over again, and soon he had eaten twenty or thirty kilograms of fourth-level monster flesh, and he couldn't help but burp.

His strong physique gave him amazing digestive ability. As his stomach and intestines moved, the meat he swallowed was digested.

Su Mu even felt that his cultivation had improved slightly.

In fact, the meat of a fourth-level monster is more effective than ordinary elixirs. If a martial artist in the Transcendence Realm can eat the meat of a fourth-level monster all year round, his cultivation speed will definitely be greatly improved.

However, the meat of a fourth-level monster is hard to come by. Even the true disciples of the major sects may not be qualified to eat the meat of a fourth-level monster when they reach the rebirth stage.

It is simply unimaginable for Su Mu to watch an entire fourth-level monster feasting on it.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to kill a fourth-level monster, and it is even more difficult to keep the body of a fourth-level monster.

Looking at the corpse of the fourth-level monster in front of him, Su Mu started to think in his mind. It would be great if he could bring it back and let the brothers in the Taiping Division have a taste of it.

Swish!
Su Mu once again used his physical magical power, and his bloody body walked straight to the lizard.

"I still need to replenish my body, and I'll get another fourth-level monster."

Su Mu said bluntly.

The lizard showed a look of surprise in its eyes and swallowed Su Mu's bloody body in one gulp.

This is truly a heaven-sent opportunity. This human's blood actually contains the power of a dragon. If I swallow it, in ten years, I will be able to turn into a dragon, and in a hundred years, I will be able to turn into a dragon!

This is much more cost-effective than just eating him directly.

Just a tonic, right? No big deal!
A powerful suction burst out from the mouth of the lizard. In the distance, among the army of demon soldiers from the Demon Court, a fourth-level demon flew towards it, screaming.
