boom!
A terrifying thunder exploded.

The long sword in Fu Qingzhu's hand was wrapped in black lightning visible to the naked eye. When the long swords collided, the surging lightning spread towards Su Mu, turning into a terrifying lightning arc that completely enveloped Su Mu.

Meng Wanjun and others saw this scene out of the corner of their eyes and were distracted for a moment.

There was a snap.

They were too late to dodge and were blown away by the explosive power of the third-level monster.

After several Taiping captains landed on the ground, they spurted out blood from their mouths and struggled to stand up. After trying several times, they finally fell back to the ground.

Only Meng Wanjun was able to stand up, leaning on the ground with his sword, looking at the third-level monster.

The comrade who went to report the news had already run far away, which made him feel relieved.

It’s a pity that they might not be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive.

"Brothers, I'm leaving first."

Meng Wanjun looked at the Taiping captains who had fallen to the ground and grinned, his teeth already stained red with blood.

I'm afraid Su Zhenfu can't hold on any longer.

Being able to fight side by side with such a peerless genius and finally go on the journey together, Meng Wanjun's life is worth it.

"come!"

Meng Wanjun shouted loudly, raised his long sword with both hands, and slashed towards the third-level monster.

A hint of disdain flashed across the eyes of the third-level monster.

If I can’t beat that human, I can’t beat you?
With someone like you, I can smash you into a meat patty with just one hand.

It sneered and raised its arm, ready to slap Meng Wanjun into a pulp.

however.

Just when its palm had already broken the long sword in Meng Wanjun's hand and was about to smash Meng Wanjun's head.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared like a rainbow piercing the sun.

puff!
A long sword pierced through the third-level monster's forehead, then came out from the back of its head, and with a ding, it was nailed to the earth wall behind the monster.

The sword body trembled violently, and blood flowed down the edge of the sword.

Meng Wanjun looked at the third-level monster that was frozen in front of him in a daze. The palm of the third-level monster stopped half a foot above his head, but it could no longer fall down.

The pupils of the third-level monster were filled with fear and unwillingness.

Bang.

The body of the third-level monster fell heavily to the ground.

Only then did Meng Wanjun confirm that the third-level monster was really dead.

He subconsciously turned his head to look, and just saw Fu Qingzhu slashing Su Mu's back with a knife, sending Su Mu flying sideways.

Blood splattered in the sky, and a wound deep enough to see the bone appeared on Su Mu's back.

Meng Wanjun immediately understood what was going on.

Just now, Su Zhenfu threw out his sword at the critical moment and killed the third-level monster with one blow.

It was because of this distraction that Su Zhenfu was unable to avoid Lord Fu's attack.

Meng Wanjun's eyes widened and his breathing became heavy.

He owes Su Zhenfu a life.

"Master Fu, come and kill me!"

Meng Wanjun shouted at the top of his voice.

Fu Qingzhu was about to chase Su Mu, but suddenly he paused and turned to look at Meng Wanjun.

When Meng Wanjun was looked at by Fu Qingzhu's gray eyes, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

What kind of eyes are those?
There is no human emotion at all, extremely cold and indifferent.

"Come on, come and kill me."

Meng Wanjun summoned up his courage and shouted, "Fu Qingzhu, you coward, come and kill me if you have the guts!"

Fu Qingzhu seemed to frown, and he actually turned around and took a step towards Meng Wanjun.

Meng Wanjun's back was soaked with cold sweat. Only a fragment of the knife remained in his hand, and the hand holding the knife was trembling slightly.

But he still looked at Fu Qingzhu.

He definitely couldn't defeat the possessed Lord Fu, but if his death could buy Su Zhenfu some breathing time, it would be worth it.

boom!
Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky and landed right in front of him.

"Su Zhenfu?"

Meng Wanjun blinked and looked at the figure in front of him.

It was Su Zhenfu for sure. His clothes on the back were indeed cut with a large hole.

But his back was surprisingly smooth, with no signs of injury at all.

Meng Wanjun rubbed his eyes. Could it be that he had seen it wrong?

This shouldn't be the case. After all, he is a martial artist at the Transcendence Realm. How could he be wrong?
Just now, Su Zhenfu was clearly slashed on the back by the possessed Lord Fu, and he could even see the white bones exposed at the wound.

There is still blood on the ground.

There was a look of doubt in Meng Wanjun's eyes.

But he didn't know that Su Mu possessed the magical power of the flesh and an indestructible golden body.

As long as the person is not dead, any physical injury can be recovered in an instant.

The stronger the warrior, the greater his physical abilities will be, and its power will truly become apparent.

With Su Mu's current strength, unless someone can kill him in an instant, in terms of endurance, even a Jindan realm warrior may not be able to match him.

A hint of doubt also flashed in Fu Qingzhu's gray eyes.

He had clearly just severely injured this human, so why did he not look injured now?

After being possessed by the devil, Fu Qingzhu has lost his human sanity. He has even forgotten his past. Now, he only has the instinct to kill and has no ability to think at all.

The changes that had taken place in Su Mu were beyond his ability to think.

"Master Fu, you are really strong."

Su Mu turned his back to Meng Wanjun, his eyes fell on Fu Qingzhu, and he slowly said, "I am indeed not your opponent, but if you want to kill me, it won't be that easy."

Before he finished speaking, Su Mu suddenly let out a long howl.

Click!

Instantly, his body began to swell violently.

In an instant, his clothes exploded and turned into butterflies flying all over the sky.

Meng Wanjun felt a black screen in front of his eyes. He subconsciously raised his head and saw that Su Mu in front of him had increased tenfold in height and turned into an absolute giant.

Meng Wanjun was stunned. Before he could react to what was happening, he heard a muffled sound in his ears.

Then he saw the possessed Fu Qingzhu flying backwards as if he was hit by a sledgehammer.

The next moment, he felt like he was grabbed by a big hand and flew into the air like a cloud.

The wind blew towards me.

For the first time in his life, Meng Wanjun experienced the feeling of speeding at lightning speed.

This process lasted for about ten breaths.

Then he felt himself falling to the ground, a dizziness came over him, and he retched for a while.

When he recovered and looked around, he found that the surrounding environment had completely changed.

"No need to look. This place is four or five miles away from the mountain village. It will take a while for Master Fu to catch up."

Su Mu's voice sounded in his ears.

Only then did Meng Wanjun realize that several Taiping captains were lying on the ground in a mess, while Su Mu had regained his normal shape at some point. He even changed his clothes and was standing there, looking into the distance.

"Send a signal for help."

Su Mu said calmly, "I can't stop Master Fu by myself. I just repelled him just now. He is not dead yet."

Su Mu used his magical power to form a giant body and repelled Fu Qingzhu with one blow. Then, within the time limit of the magical power, he took Meng Wanjun and others and escaped several miles away.

He did not flee towards Jinshan Township, nor did he flee towards the Xiangzhou provincial capital.

As for Jinshan Township, leading Fu Qingzhu there would only affect ordinary people.

However, the direction of Xiangzhou provincial capital is not safe, and he may not be able to get through in his current condition.

Although the explosive power of the giant body of physical magical power is strong, there will be a period of weakness after the explosion.

Since the enemy has ambushed him here, they will definitely not let him escape back to Xiangzhou capital.

It is conceivable that there must be enemies in the direction of Xiangzhou provincial capital.

So Su Mu did the opposite and went straight into the forest.

The terrain in the mountains is complex, so perhaps we can delay for a while.

"Su Zhenfu, Lord Fu—"

Meng Wanjun tremblingly released the Taiping Division's distress signal, then looked at Su Mu and couldn't help asking.

"They were ambushed. This was not an accident."

Su Mu said in a deep voice, "They plotted against the Taiping Division's pacification envoy. No matter who they were, they were all dead."

Su Mu's tone was grim and full of murderous intent.

Meng Wanjun smiled bitterly. Perhaps only Su Zhenfu could say such words.

They are not out of danger yet, and they don't even know whether they can survive. How could Su Zhenfu still say such words? Is this the confidence of a genius of the time?

The problem is that even if they sent out a distress signal, the state government might not receive it.

Even if it can be collected, it is unknown how long it will take when the governors from the provincial capital arrive.

Can they last that long?
"Su Zhenfu, if you can break through, go on your own and we will buy you some time."

Meng Wanjun was silent for a moment, then said, "If you were alive, you could avenge us—"

"Do you think they'll let me go easily?"

Su Mu interrupted him and said lightly.

Meng Wanjun and others have been in Jinshan Township for many days. If the enemy wanted to eliminate them, they could have done it long ago.

There is only one reason why they have not taken action, and that is that Meng Wanjun and others are not important enough.

The truth hurts, but it is the truth.

Meng Wanjun and others don't even have the qualifications to be targeted.

Their target may be themselves or other pacification envoys, but in any case, they must be people who are important enough.

Su Mu didn't think that the other party was targeting him. After all, his coming to Jinshan Township was a temporary decision, and he didn't even know that he would be assigned this task by Mingyi Hou.

When Fu Qingzhu disappeared, Su Mu was still in Songjiang Prefecture participating in the competition of Bailu Academy.

There was a flash of light in his pupils, and glowing threads appeared in front of Su Mu's eyes again.

In the distance, a ball of pitch-black silk thread was moving quickly.

"Those who can get up, please get up. Those who can't, Captain Meng, you carry them on your back and walk."

Su Mu said in a deep voice, "Master Fu has caught up with us."

The aftereffects of the physical giant he had just used were still there. He was weak all over and temporarily had no strength to fight again.

Meng Wanjun and the others were all shocked. The seriously injured Taiping captains struggled to get up, supported each other, and limped behind Su Mu.

Su Mu took the lead, shuttling through the mountains and forests.

The effect of the source of the miraculous skill energy was also brought into play. The direction where Su Mu walked was actually the direction where the clear and spiritual energy between heaven and earth flowed.

Although Meng Wanjun and others could not see the energy of heaven and earth, they felt refreshed and the injuries on their bodies did not hurt as much.

The pure and spiritual energy between heaven and earth has the effect of nourishing the body. Even ordinary people, if they live in a place where pure and spiritual energy gathers, can also benefit from strengthening their bodies and prolonging their lives.

The most important thing is that demons will not be able to adapt to places with strong pure and spiritual energy.

This can at least increase the difficulty for Fu Qingzhu who has been possessed by the devil.

"Who on earth plotted against Lord Fu? Are they crazy? What good will it do them to do such a thing in Xiangzhou?
Even if they succeed temporarily, won't they be wiped out when Commander Li comes back?
Even the Pure Land School wouldn't do such a thing, right?"

Walking among the mountains and forests, Meng Wanjun couldn't help but whispered.

He really couldn't understand.

Even if they all died here, Si Li would definitely notice something unusual soon.

When the time comes, other people will definitely be sent to investigate.

What's more, if Su Zhenfu died here, Commander Li and even the officials in the general yamen might be alarmed.

Are these demons crazy?

“Is there anything special near Jinshan Township?”

Su Mu asked in a deep voice.

"What's special?"

Meng Wanjun's face showed a thoughtful look. He thought for a while and suddenly slapped his head, "Su Zhenfu, there is an iron mine in the mountains near Jinshan Township. Is this special?"

"Iron mine?"

Su Mu looked thoughtful, "What kind of iron mine?"

Meng Wanjun's doubts were also Su Mu's doubts. The demons were not fools. They would not plot against Fu Qingzhu just because they had nothing better to do.

Even the Pure Land Sect would not do such a thankless task.

Assassinating Fu Qingzhu would not only incur the wrath of the Taiping Division, but they would also gain nothing.

Instead of assassinating a Taiping Division pacification envoy, it would be better to assassinate those geniuses in the Taiping Division who have not grown up.

As for the plot against Fu Qingzhu, it is conceivable that the other party must have paid a huge price to do it.

No matter who the other party is, you can't do this kind of thing without any reason.

It’s the same now. Su Mu just arrived in Jinshan Township, and they can’t wait to take action.

Su Mu thought about it and felt that there was only one possibility.

That is, they had some plans near Jinshan Township and did not want to be discovered, so they killed all the strong men above the level of Taiping Division's pacification envoy who appeared nearby.

"It's the iron ore used to forge weapons. The Imperial Court's Smelting Department even sent people to investigate. They said the mine was rich in iron ore. The Imperial Court was originally planning to mine it, but for some unknown reason, it was never mined."

Meng Wanjun said, "I've heard before that if all the iron ore in this mine is mined, it will be enough to forge tens of thousands of weapons, which will be enough to equip a large army."

"Do you know where the mine is exactly?"

Su Mu asked thoughtfully.

"It should be nearby. It's deep in the mountains and transportation is inconvenient. This may be one of the reasons why the court has not mined it yet."

Meng Wanjun said.

As he was speaking, the sound of a big tree being knocked down was heard from behind, and the possessed Fu Qingzhu was getting closer.
