146: Kill all the way

“This…” The Red-Robed Priest felt as if his bones were dislocated, and the intense pain made him cry out in agony.

He never expected to suddenly stumble and fall so awkwardly, and he had no idea what had happened.

Lu Ming looked at the Red-Robed Priest with a strange expression. When the other party threw a punch, he noticed that he seemed to have never Cultivated any martial arts Cultivation Technique. The punch looked powerful but lacked any stance, making it full of flaws.

With a slight dodge, a push, and a hook, the opponent crashed to the ground!

“Speak, what exactly are you plotting? And where have you imprisoned the missing Demon Suppression Division Centurion?” Lu Ming raised his foot and directly stepped on the Red-Robed Priest’s back, asking in a cold voice.

After learning that there was no corpse of the Centurion in the tomb, Lu Ming deduced that he might still be alive.

If it had been earlier, he might not have asked this question, but the conversation he had just overheard led Lu Ming to conclude that the Golden Lotus Sect and Wu Shude and his son were closely related. In fact, it could be said that the Golden Lotus Sect was likely the mastermind behind everything.

If the Centurion dispatched from Tianshi City was truly still alive, then the probability of him being imprisoned within this Golden Lotus Temple was extremely high.

The Red-Robed Priest, heavily stomped on the ground by Lu Ming, had a flushed face, filled with anger.

“Damn government dog, if you have the guts, kill me! I’d like to see if you can walk out of this gate. You should know that I am…” the Red-Robed Priest threatened sharply.

However, before he could finish speaking, Lu Ming drew the long saber from his waist. With a hum, the saber vibrated, and a splash of crimson blood splattered onto the ground.

Ah!

The Red-Robed Priest screamed, clutching his right hand. Half of his palm had been cleanly severed by Lu Ming.

Following this, Lu Ming’s extremely cold voice rang out.

“If you don’t speak now, the next strike will sever your entire palm. Of course, you can continue to be stubborn, because I don’t mind cutting off your other palm, and then slowly flaying you alive, one slice at a time.”

Hearing Lu Ming’s words, the Red-Robed Priest’s eyes were filled with terror, and his entire body trembled like a sieve, whether from pain or fear.

Although he held the noble position of a priest of the Golden Lotus Sect, ultimately, his power was bestowed by the Saintess. Without power and authority, his true nature was revealed.

“No, don’t kill me, I’ll tell you everything,” the Red-Robed Priest stammered.

Lu Ming grabbed him and lifted him up. At the same time, the surrounding battles also concluded.

Facing Wu Lei and ten other experienced Initial Realm Martial Artists, the few Golden Lotus Sect followers couldn't last more than a few breaths before being cut down by Wu Lei and the others.

While the primary duty of the Demon Suppression Division was to slay demons and monsters, some cases also involved people. When facing those villains, the Demon Suppression Division would not hesitate. In fact, it could be said that those chosen to join the Silver Feather City Demon Suppression Division had all stained their hands with a good amount of blood.

The Red-Robed Priest looked at the fallen bodies, still not cold, and trembled even more with fear.

He had not had much interaction with the Demon Suppression Division, which was why he hadn't recognized their identity by their clothing when Lu Ming and the others appeared.

And now he finally understood what kind of existence the Demon Suppression Division was, so decisively eliminating everyone except him. Such ferocity extinguished the last shred of hope in his heart.

“Answer my question from earlier,” Lu Ming said coldly.

Under the gaze of those sharp eyes, the Red-Robed Priest felt his blood turn cold. He dared not hide anything and quickly spoke: “The ritual held today was to refine a Blood Pill. Saintess possesses a secret technique that can refine a Medicinal Pill for eternal life by refining human souls. As for the Demon Suppression Division Centurion, he is currently imprisoned inside. Don’t kill me, I can lead you there.”

“Blood Pill? Eternal life?” Hearing these two terms, a hint of solemnity couldn't help but appear in Lu Ming's eyes.

The others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with horror.

“Let’s go, first lead us to the place of imprisonment,” Lu Ming said in a deep voice.

Although he was skeptical about the effectiveness of the so-called Blood Pill, Lu Ming realized that he had stumbled upon something major today.

Even so, Lu Ming remained extremely calm, knowing what was most important right now.

Two accompanying Initial Realm Martial Artists immediately stepped forward, pushing the Red-Robed Priest and forcing him through the door.

The commotion outside the door had been considerable, so there was no longer any point in hiding.

With the Red-Robed Priest leading the way, Lu Ming, saber in hand, walked beside him, passing through the path ahead.

Just then, low roars similar to those of wild beasts echoed, and the group’s movement had clearly alarmed the demons within.

This was probably the main reason why disciples were forbidden from entering. Within this Golden Lotus Temple, there were many man-eating demons. Everyone knew that demons fed on humans. If people knew that the Golden Lotus Sect was connected to demons, there probably wouldn't be so many believers.

Lu Ming narrowed his eyes, looking at the demons that rushed out and blocked their path. Among them were several Plague Ghouls with ferocious faces, baring their fangs and claws.

“Kill them, leave none alive!” Lu Ming said sharply.

No longer concealing his Qi fluctuations, as a massive amount of True Qi was mobilized, an extremely powerful aura erupted from his body.

The strong power of vital Qi spread over Lu Ming's body. Upon sensing Lu Ming's aura, those intelligent demons all showed expressions of fear, because that power was truly a bit too strong, especially the blood-fire that gathered from his palm onto the long saber. Even from a distance, the scorching power still caused a burning sensation.

These demons never expected that an Extremity Realm martial artist would be leading the team, and the strongest among them was only at Initial Realm Perfection.

However, before they could react, Lu Ming had already charged forward.

In Lu Ming’s eyes, these obstacles were not just demons, but rather a source of demon cores and a large amount of demon lifespan for his own Cultivation and comprehension of talents.

The long saber in his hand swung, and as the blood-fire swayed, a cold glint flashed on the blade, shooting out countless sharp Protective Auras.

Under Lu Ming's leadership, the demons attempting to block their path could not stop them. Even the plague Qi sprayed by the Plague Ghouls, and their self-detonations, could not affect Lu Ming in the slightest.

Pfft!

A cold glint flashed, and another Initial Realm demon was beheaded by Lu Ming. Its tall body lost all strength and collapsed directly onto the ground.

Lu Ming ignored the System sounds echoing in his mind, leading everyone to a large bronze door.

This was the place the Red-Robed Priest indicated as where the Demon Suppression Division Centurion was being held.

Lu Ming swung the long saber in his hand. Clang! The sharp blade rubbed, creating a shower of sparks, directly severing the bronze lock on the large door. Wu Lei stepped forward and pushed with force. As the heavy door was pushed open, this temporarily modified prison appeared before Lu Ming and the others.
