Chapter 20 Assessment Continues

In the central square.

The sun was shining brightly.

A group of young boys and girls looked at each other, at a loss.

All these changes came too fast, and they were caught off guard.

First, those who lied about their age and took the test were beaten with 20 military sticks each and kicked out of the square.

Later, ten testers were said to be spies of the cult and were killed by force.

Now the two martial arts academy disciples in charge of the assessment transformed into patrol guards and forced the two highest officials of Yunshui County to prove their innocence.

All this undoubtedly bombarded their cognition.

"Does it really have to be like this?"

Han Zhuang sighed slightly and stood quietly in place.

If the other party was not a patrol guard, he could find all kinds of reasons to not go through the Tongxuan crystal test.

But once the patrol token came out, his retreat was completely blocked.

But until now, Han Zhuang still didn't know why the Tongxuan crystal suddenly appeared, and it could also detect whether it was a cult member.

The strangeness of Han Zhuang immediately made the atmosphere of the whole scene solidify.

The city guards, wearing heavy armor and holding heavy crossbows, looked solemn at this time, but no one dared to move.

They knew very well that although the county lieutenant was their highest officer, they had to obey the order of the Sky Patrol even if they were asked to kill their own officers.

This was the deterrence of the Sky Patrol and the power of the Sky Patrol.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, their county lieutenant might be a member of the cult.

"Han County Lieutenant, you?" Jiang Hongji looked at Han Zhuang, as if he wanted to confirm something.

Slowly walked forward.

Han Zhuang looked at Jiang Hongji, who was full of disbelief, and said indifferently: "People like you who are idle and have no ambition can always stay above me. This shows the injustice of the court. Since the court is unfair, how can I not find another way out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong momentum burst out from Han Zhuang's body, his clothes fluttered, his black hair fluttered, and the bluestone under his feet trembled and shattered layer by layer.

Faced with such a powerful burst of momentum, the young men and women participating in the assessment retreated one after another, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Lu Yun quietly retreated and moved closer to the heavily armored city guards.

In his opinion, there might be a fierce battle next, and the closer he got to Lin Chen and others, the more dangerous it would be.

A true qi realm warrior was someone he could not estimate at the moment, not to mention Han Zhuang, who seemed to be more powerful than the true qi realm.

"What? Huayuan realm!" Looking at the red gas surrounding Han Zhuang, Jiang Hongji's heart sank. That was the true essence, a unique sign of a Huayuan realm warrior.

Although shocked, he remained calm on the surface and bowed to Lin Chen and said, "My two lords, Han Zhuang is already a Huayuan realm warrior. I'm afraid it will take the combined strength of the three of us to fight him."

Hearing this.

Lin Chen's mouth curled up a subtle smile: "Why do we need the three of us to join forces? County Magistrate Jiang and Junior Brother Meng will help me to prevent the other party from escaping or hurting others."

After saying that.

The smile on his face disappeared, and then frost covered him, white true energy surrounded him, and a roar shook the square.

"Han Zhuang, you colluded with the evil cult and betrayed the court, you plead guilty!"

The voice was loud, not only echoing among the young men and the city guards, but also heard by the warriors watching the battle far outside the square.

Among them, some warriors quietly retreated in the crowd and were not noticed by others.

"You are also a Yuanhua Realm warrior?!"

Han Zhuang's face turned ugly: "You are worthy of being the pride of the Star Hall of the Martial Academy. With your strength, you are enough to serve as a second-level Sky Patrol Guard even in the Sky Patrol Division!"

"As long as I kill you and eliminate the evil cult forces in Yunshui County, I will be a second-level Sky Patrol Guard."

As soon as the words fell, the knife came out!

The cold true energy burst out, and the moment the long knife slashed in the air, it seemed that ice flowers condensed in the air, and the square under the scorching sun actually made people feel the coldness.

Facing this knife, Han Zhuang was horrified.

After joining the White Lotus Sect, he obtained a lot of resources. He has transformed his true qi into true essence and promoted to the Yuanhua Realm. He is almost invincible in Yunshui County.

He did not take the two genius disciples from the Star Hall of the Martial Academy seriously.

After his identity was revealed, he was also relaxed.

It was not until Lin Chen burst out with the cultivation of the Yuanhua Realm that he began to pay attention to him.

But he did not expect that when Lin Chen burst out completely, his strength would be so strong that it made him tremble, so strong that he lost his composure and even had no time to dodge.

Bang——

With a scream, accompanied by the spilling of bright red blood, an arm fell heavily on the bluestone ground.

Han Zhuang pulled back.

At this moment, he had been cut off by Lin Chen's sudden knife, and the remaining cold true essence eroded the wound, making him pale with pain.

"We are both in the Yuanhua Realm, why are you so strong?"

Han Zhuang gritted his teeth when he spoke.

They were both in the Yuanhua realm, but the gap between them was so huge that he had no power to resist!

Lin Chen's hand holding the knife shook slightly, and the blood on the blade solidified and turned into blood clots, which scattered on the ground as the blade trembled.

"You who rely on external forces to break through, how can you know how powerful the true essence is after the true qi is tempered to the extreme, but it doesn't matter, you can feel its power and terror carefully!"

As the voice fell, the long knife had slashed out again.

Compared with the previous one, this knife was equally chilling, almost freezing the hot air around it. The long knife fell with a brilliant white blade light and broke through the air.

A strange smile appeared on Han Zhuang's face.

"Although you are very strong, I want to leave, and you can't stop me!"

After saying that, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. When the long knife fell, it chopped into the air and lifted the bluestone on the ground.

At the same time.

A stunning figure came out, like a blue dragon out of the sea, raising a gust of wind.

Puff!

The sound of the long knife piercing the flesh sounded, followed by a scream, and Han Zhuang's body fell to the ground.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

The true energy swayed, and the blood on the knife fell to the ground. Meng Hongfei lowered his eyebrows and looked at the body lying on the ground indifferently.

In the distance, Jiang Hongji had already shown an expression of disbelief on his face.

"How is it possible for a Qi Realm person to kill a Yuan Realm person?"

Although Han Zhuang broke through with the help of external force and had one arm cut off, he was still a Yuan Realm person, but he was killed by Meng Hongfei, who was in the Qi Realm.

Meng Hongfei's strength was so strong that it was completely beyond Jiang Hongji's expectations.

No matter how much he couldn't believe it, the scene just now clearly told him that Meng Hongfei killed Han Zhuang, who was in the Yuan Realm, with the strength of the Qi Realm.

This Meng Hongfei is indeed a martial arts academy prodigy who was promoted to the Star Hall three years after entering the sect!

Recognizing this, Jiang Hongji's previous unhappiness suddenly dissipated.

"Hey, I originally wanted to ask him if he had any accomplices, but I didn't expect..." Lin Chen walked over and looked at Meng Hongfei, who looked indifferent, with a helpless look.

With his strength, if he really wanted to kill Han Zhuang, the first knife would not be his arm.

He prepared the second knife to make Han Zhuang completely incapable of action, and then interrogate him about his accomplices and the evil cult forces he belonged to.

Unexpectedly, Han Zhuang had enough energy to dodge, and was finally killed by Meng Hongfei.

This matter was somewhat unexpected to him, but it was harmless.

Their mission this time was mainly to verify whether the government of Yunshui County was infiltrated by the evil cult.

Now that it has been verified and the main culprit has been killed, they can find other hidden evil cult spies by following the clues.

At present, the task of the Patrol Department is almost completed, and only the finishing work is left, which can be handled by the Yunshui County Government.

Next, they need to continue to complete the tasks of the Martial Academy.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen said to Jiang Hongji: "Jiang County Magistrate, let's sit down and talk."

"Okay."

In this way, Lin Chen and Jiang Hongji, one after the other, returned to the platform and discussed.

And Meng Hongfei put away the long knife, looked at the frightened boys and girls, and shouted coldly: "The little episode just now is over, let's continue the next assessment."

"Yes!"

Lu Yun and others recovered from their previous shock and re-formed at the fastest speed.

At this moment, their eyes were filled with envy and admiration when they looked at Meng Hongfei.

This senior brother who was not much older than them, the figure of killing a Yuanhua Realm warrior with the True Qi Realm, if nothing unexpected happened, would remain deeply in their memory.
