Chapter 31: One strike cleaved the Eagle Wolf Guard's office in two, unstoppable! (Seeking monthly votes and continued reading)
"That kid is really cautious!"

Wang Yan frowned slightly as he looked at the token lying on the ground.

The martial artists in the Jianghu believed that Zhou Qing possessed a great opportunity, and he was just like them. So when he heard that there were people who seemed to be Zhou Qing, he followed the Eagle Wolf Guards and tracked them down.

However, to his surprise, Zhou Qing was so strong that he actually killed Fang Yuan, the leader of the Crimson Wolf Clan, who had mastered the seed of sword intent. This made him wary and he dared not make a move.

Although he also transformed the power of flames into a seed of flame intent, in terms of strength, he was only on par with Fang Yuan.

Zhou Qing's strength had reached the point where he could kill Fang Yuan in a short period of time, which was enough to show that he had a great opportunity, but he did not know how to step into the Innate Realm, and seemed to lack information in this regard.

This gave him an opportunity.

Therefore, instead of fleeing immediately, he appeared and tried to recruit Zhou Qing into the Zoroastrian Church.

Then, in order to lower Zhou Qing's guard, they told him the secret of how to reach the Innate Realm for free. This was not really a secret among the top-tier martial artists.

The most important thing is to step into what is required by nature.

Even if one knows how to reach the Innate Realm, neither the spiritual objects containing the primordial energy of heaven and earth nor the divine will can be obtained by ordinary top-tier martial artists.

Most top-tier forces do not possess any spiritual treasures or divine intentions.

If a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm among these top-tier forces were to pass away, the forces would rapidly decline. In fact, the moment a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm passed away, someone would come knocking on their door and annex and divide the spoils.

Therefore, Wang Yan used the promises of divine treasures and divine will as bait to recruit Zhou Qing into the Zoroastrian Church, believing that the other party would not refuse.

Zhou Qing is a wanted criminal by the imperial court. Apart from the Zoroastrian Church, no other force dares to accept him. The only way for him to obtain the resources to reach the Innate Realm is to join the Zoroastrian Church.

As long as the other party accepts the token.

Then he could use a secret method to pinpoint Zhou Qing's location.

Then, we can call on our friends and invite the experts from the Zoroastrian sect to come and deal with Zhou Qing and seize the opportunity he possesses.

But to my surprise, the other party was so cautious.

After the two separated, they immediately threw the token away.

Although Zhou Qing hadn't gone too far, and he could have pursued him using other methods, if he were alone and confident he could deal with Zhou Qing, he would have made his move outside the dilapidated temple earlier.

"Consider yourself lucky!"

Wang Yan picked up the token, put it away, and then left the place in a flash.

……

……

The prefectural city of Taining Prefecture.

It was bustling and lively, with crowds of people everywhere.

The Eagle Wolf Guard, the most feared guard in the Great Xuan Dynasty, has branches in every prefecture. The Eagle Wolf Guard office in Taining Prefecture is located in the center of this prefecture. Its buildings are magnificent and imposing, inspiring awe.

The dark and menacing Eagle Wolf Guard's office, resembling a crouching behemoth, exuded a chilling gloom even under the scorching midday sun. The five large, black characters "Eagle Wolf Guard Office" on the lintel were like knives, silently cutting away the warmth of the sunlight.

Apart from the Eagle Wolf Guards, all pedestrians on the road, whether they were peddlers carrying loads, wandering knights, shop assistants, or gang members, kept a safe distance from the alleyway where the Eagle Wolf Guards' yamen was located.

Occasionally, some people would steal glances at that dreaded government office, their eyes filled with hatred.

Boom——

A deafening roar shattered the deathly silence.

The sound was like a thunderclap from the heavens, striking everyone's hearts hard, and the entire alley where the government office was located seemed to tremble.

This sudden scene instantly drew countless gazes, all involuntarily turning towards the direction of the loud noise.

The lintel plaque of the Eagle Wolf Guard's yamen, a symbol of supreme authority, was cleaved in two with a single blow. The crossbeams collapsed, and the once solemn and imposing vermilion gate was also smashed to pieces. Fragments of the lintel scattered everywhere, some even flying onto the street several dozen feet away, causing pedestrians to gasp in surprise and scatter in disarray.

The collapsed beam smashed a hole in the open space in front of the government office, and dust flew up and lingered for a long time.

"Oh my God!"

"The door...the door was broken?!"

"This is the Eagle Wolf Guard's headquarters, who dares to be so bold?"

"Who, who is so audacious as to..."

The streets and alleys were in an uproar.

This scene left everyone present speechless, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

The Eagle Wolf Guard, as a symbol of the military power of the Great Xuan Dynasty, has long been deeply ingrained in people's minds as a symbol of authority and inviolability.

However, today someone dared to so brazenly challenge its authority, smashing the lintel and gate of the Eagle Wolf Guard's office with a single blow. This is undoubtedly a blatant provocation against the Eagle Wolf Guard.

Although people in the martial arts world refer to the Eagle Wolf Guard as the imperial court's lackeys, even if they are unhappy, they can only act in secret and not let anyone catch them red-handed, otherwise it would be considered a rebellion and they would face the Eagle Wolf Guard's full-scale siege.

Only a rebel leader like the Zoroastrian Church would dare to so openly attack the Eagle Wolf Guard's office.

"Who is this person? How dare he attack the Eagle Wolf Guard's office? He has some nerve! Could he be a traitor from the Zoroastrian Church?!"

"It shouldn't be. If they were Zoroastrian rebels, they wouldn't be so secretive. They would definitely make a big show of it and spread their fame."

"Could it be that some reclusive master has emerged, disapproving of the Eagle Wolf Guard's actions, and has come specifically to teach them a lesson?"

"Whoever dares to attack the Eagle Wolf Guard's office is making an enemy of the entire Great Xuan Dynasty, and he will definitely not escape."

Some people's eyes flashed with shock, while others were filled with excitement. Seeing the Eagle Wolf Guards suffer a setback, they couldn't help but clap their hands in delight.

All eyes were fixed on the figure dressed in black, wearing a bamboo hat, and holding a long sword in front of the Eagle Wolf Guard's office.

At this moment, hurried footsteps came from inside the yamen, and dozens of Eagle Wolf Guards dressed in black wolf robes and holding sharp blades rushed out of the yamen and quickly surrounded Zhou Qing.

Leading the group was a Red Wolf deputy commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard. He was tall with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and held a long spear that gleamed coldly. He shouted in a stern voice, "You audacious madman, how dare you trespass on the Eagle Wolf Guard's headquarters! Do you know that this is a capital offense!"

"Hmph, so what if they're Eagle Wolf Guards?" Zhou Qing said indifferently, "Haven't you been looking for me all this time? Today, I, Zhou Qing, have come to see what tricks you've up your sleeves!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Qing moved and rushed forward. His figure changed from one to ten, constantly shifting.

This is the ultimate Illusionary Demon Body Technique. When used at full power, it can manifest nine illusions to confuse the enemy's senses and make it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

"not good!"

The Red Wolf deputy commander, wielding a long spear, paled and wanted to attack, but a terrifying chill invaded his mind, freezing his thoughts.

He discovered that he couldn't move his body at all; even with his spear technique at the Enlightenment Realm, he couldn't withstand this freezing power.

puff!
The long sword swept past silently.

The spear in the hands of the Red Wolf deputy commander was severed, along with his head; half of the spear and the head fell to the ground at the same time.

The Red Wolf deputy commander, who was a first-rate martial artist at the seventh level of the Acquired Realm and was wielding a long spear, was instantly killed by Zhou Qing with a single strike.

The surrounding Eagle Wolf Guards were all stunned, standing frozen in place, as if their bodies and minds had also been frozen by the icy force.

As the military force of the Great Xuan Dynasty, the Eagle Wolf Guard consists of battle-hardened warriors. The lowest-ranking Eagle Wolf Guards are all second-rate peak warriors who act decisively and are quick to destroy families and exterminate clans, making countless criminals tremble with fear.

But at this moment, they were all shocked by the scene before them, standing still and not daring to move, watching Zhou Qing step into the Eagle Wolf Guard's office.

The deputy commander was killed with a single blow, and now that Commander Fang Yuan is not in the yamen, no one dares to stand in Zhou Qing's way, and no one can stand in his way!
