Chapter 530: Chapter 451: Night Exploration of the County Government + Chapter 452: Plundering Like Fire_2

Zhou Ping’an’s feet briefly halted as he listened to the mournful howls carried by the night wind, feeling a pang of regret in his heart.

How much the common people suffer.

What those at the very bottom of society feared the most was their high-and-mighty overlords not doing their proper duties, recklessly causing trouble, leading to a life where the people couldn’t make ends meet.

The Master Cui from Guangyun County had gone beyond mere reckless trouble.

He was using the people as fodder to cultivate evil skills, turning his jurisdiction into a living hell...

"We can’t keep developing slowly; Guangyun County needs to be taken down as soon as possible. Even if not out of pity for the suffering of the people, if all that’s left is a shattered land with barely one in ten inhabitants remaining, it would hold no power or fortune..."

With that thought.

Zhou Ping’an accelerated once again.

His form turned into a wispy smoke as he headed straight for the Guangyun County City.

This time, taking the familiar path and entering Guangyun again, he noticed that the place was less bustling and more desolate compared to his last visit.

Even the areas of debauchery had extinguished their lights early and closed for the night, with a faint smell of blood and decay lingering in the air, making one want to flee after spending just a short time in the city.

Judging from the smell.

Life in the city must have been difficult during this period.

And the number of deaths had been considerable, to the extent that the odors of blood and decay were overwhelming.

"It has been rebuilt here."

Zhou Ping’an once again arrived near the Governor’s Mansion, merged his body into the fine mist and clouds, paused, and floated slowly towards the inside of the mansion.

Reaching the courtyard wall, nothing seemed amiss to his Mental Induction, but deep in his heart, a subtle sense of crisis arose.

Last time, he had gotten this far but didn’t explore further.

"This time, no matter what, I have to test its mettle."

Zhou Ping’an felt confident, considering his "Carefree Journey" was extraordinary, and his combat power had grown by leaps and bounds since his last visit. With some assurance in his heart and a flash in his eyes, he silently drifted into the vast mansion.

"Buzz..."

As soon as he breached the courtyard wall.

Zhou Ping’an heard a faint buzzing sound in his ears, like hundreds of blood-sucking mosquitoes flapping their wings together, which was annoying and suddenly turned his vision blood-red.

He lost perception in all Five Senses at once; a swirl of blood enveloped him, the air turned into a sticky blood plasma, firmly clinging to his body, making taking even a single step extremely difficult.

Pff...

Zhou Ping’an landed on the ground, wielded his sword in a Sea-Splitting motion and abruptly slashed behind him, tearing open a long safe passage. Just as he was about to exit the way he had come, he felt a slight heaviness on the blade.

A sound of light clashing between sword and blade rang in his ears.

A cold and slippery force traveled up the blade into his arm, aiming for his internal organs.

Golden sparks flashed on his body, surrounded by starlight, and he immediately blocked the cold force outside, still feeling a slight dizziness in his head.

"Eh, it’s you again, daring to intrude my Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Array. Since you’re here, don’t even think about leaving."

A chilling voice, filled with deep hatred, approached from afar, stopping ten yards in front of him.

At this moment, Zhou Ping’an saw, under the hazy red light covering the courtyard, a figure in a high-crowned robe and blood-red silhouette appearing.

The man was wielding a crimson longsword, his brows furrowed with ferocity.

If not Cui Guangling, then who else could it be?

Compared to their last encounter, Cui Guangling’s presence had grown more than tenfold.

The overwhelming pressure melded with the surrounding red light, converging into an unmatched blood-colored Sword Qi, roaring as it slashed towards Zhou Ping’an.

This blood-colored sword light seemed empowered by something; with every ten yards it advanced, the pressure doubled.

By the time it reached Zhou Ping’an, the sword light had become overwhelming, blotting out his sight.

This time, Zhou Ping’an didn’t retreat.

He found himself enveloped by a cold air, and the Blood Sword seemed to lock onto him with eyes of its own, impossible to dodge no matter how he moved.

"If I can’t dodge it, then I won’t."

Zhou Ping’an felt no regret and instead of hesitating, he stepped into the Formation, dismissing all thoughts, flashes of the Kunpeng Wing Vibrating Pattern crossed his mind, and he unleashed an ethereal slash with his sword.

At the same time.

A red lotus bloomed slowly at his heart.

A ring of Golden Flames erupted around him.

"Slash..."

The Purifying Lotus Body burst forth with thirty-six times its power.

Zhou Ping’an’s arms shook, and the ground and sky around him echoed with loud cracking sounds as buildings collapsed, the void tore open, blood mist turned to dust, and shattered into the tiniest particles.

A streak of Sword Light like water slashed through.

The roaring blood-colored Sword Light in front of him, like a mere illusion, was cleaved apart by this slash.

Pff...

It dissipated like a burst bubble.

Further away, the high-crowned elegant middle-aged man in red robes wore a look of astonishment, and in an instant, he was cut in two from his forehead down to his groin by this slash.

The Sword Light rushed a hundred yards ahead, splitting the main hall, cutting through buildings, and carving a deep trench in the courtyard.

Seeing the crisis unfolding, Zhou Ping’an didn’t hold back.

He immediately activated the Double Layered Sea Splitting Blade and Seventh-layered Lotus Body, thinking that even a mountain could be split in half by him.

Of course, the result was as he expected.

Before him, whether it was the mist, lake of blood, or the Blood Shadow Divine Sword, with his slash, everything turned into a Dream Bubble Shadow, shattered with one strike.

It was an exciting feat indeed.

Yet Zhou Ping’an’s expression shifted, and he did not linger.

Taking advantage of the slash that had opened the Formation and created a fissure through which the moonlight could be seen, his form flickered, merging with the void, and he withdrew a hundred yards away.
