383: Attack the bandit's lair and instantly kill the three guardians

“this official has been ordered to patrol the Three Prefectures. this official will help you resolve your issue. No matter who is behind this, or who is involved, this official will not let them off!”

Chu Jiang said in a deep voice, continuing, “But before this official finds out the truth, you cannot indiscriminately kill people. Otherwise, this official will not only kill the rebels, but also kill you!”

“Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord…”

Li Qingxue’s crimson face showed a hint of joy. She immediately knelt before Chu Jiang and said, “As long as my lord can avenge me, this concubine is willing to be your ox or horse to repay your kindness!”

“Get up!”

Chu Jiang said indifferently.

“Thank you, my lord!”

Li Qingxue thanked him again, bowing as she spoke.

“By the way, do you still remember the Demon Suppression Guard who led them back then?”

Chu Jiang asked.

“Those people called him Liu, Commander, Liu Wuqing, the strongest expert in Liangan County!”

Li Qingxue blurted out. She would never forget that person’s name, even in death. And in the Hengduan Mountains, the Third Chieftain Ghost Face Scholar.

“I will give you an answer within a month at the latest!”

After Chu Jiang finished speaking, he turned and left.

Liu Wuqing, another one named Liu. This Liu family truly has a house full of loyal martyrs.

If this person was still alive, Chu Jiang would definitely make him wish for death but be unable to die.

Li Qingxue looked at Chu Jiang’s departing back. Seeing his decisive and ruthless actions, a feeling of “he can definitely do it” unexpectedly arose in her heart.

“I hope you succeed!”

Li Qingxue kept her promise. With a flick of her sleeve, the entire eerie village dissipated into the air, completely hidden.

Chu Jiang mounted the Fire Kirin, looked at the boundless night sky, and said coldly, “Head to the Soul Severing Mountain Range to suppress the mountain bandits!”

He did not want such vicious bandits to live in this world for another moment.

“Your subordinate obeys!”

Fu Yunxuan, Wang Chao, Ma Han, and others answered in unison.

“Your humble general receives the order!”

Principal General Zhao also nodded.

Thump!

Thump thump!

The earth trembled as if thousands of horses were galloping. Chu Jiang led the Demon Suppression Guard and the Tiger Brave Army, galloping all the way directly to the Soul Severing Mountain Range.

…

At dawn.

Yue Province, Soul Severing Mountain Range, ten li away.

Chu Jiang led four thousand troops, rapidly approaching.

The Soul Severing Mountain Range is the largest mountain range within Yue Province, three thousand li long and five hundred li wide, most suitable for hiding mountain bandits.

If the Yuezhou Demon Suppression Division and the Yue Province Army were to deploy half their forces, blockade the airspace, and advance step by step, it would still be possible to clear out the mountain bandits of the Soul Severing Mountain Range. But each time, they only went through the motions due to pressure.

The mountain bandits suffered almost no significant losses, and instead grew even larger.

Now, they had become the biggest cancer within Yue Province.

“Demon Suppression Guard, Tiger Brave Army, search the entire mountain. If you find mountain bandits, kill them on the spot without asking for instructions!”

Chu Jiang said coldly.

“Kill!”

In just a dozen breaths, everyone had charged into the Soul Severing Mountain Range.

“How dare you, who gave you the courage to trespass the Soul Severing Mountain!”

Soon, the elite mountain bandits patrolling the mountain discovered the Demon Suppression Guard, as well as a large number of murderous Tiger Brave Army soldiers advancing from all directions.

But when the mountain bandits saw the Demon Suppression Guard, they showed no fear at all. Instead, they were all arrogant and looked down on everything.

This was the Soul Severing Mountain Range, the largest mountain bandit force in the Three Prefectures. Even a Qianhu from the Yuezhou Demon Suppression Division would have to be cautious here and dare not show any disrespect.

“All mountain bandits, leave no one alive!”

Chu Jiang shouted coldly, his eyes filled with endless Killing Intent. He was too lazy to even make up a crime. A group of mountain bandits without even a Golden Core were so rampant, one could imagine how evil these mountain bandits usually were.

What?

The mountain bandits were stunned. Was this guy talking nonsense?

“You little bastard, who do you think you are? Even the Yue Province Pacification Commissioner wouldn’t dare to speak such arrogant words in the Soul Severing Mountain Range!”

The mountain bandit leader scoffed. Leave no one alive? Was he joking? The ones who should be left alive were them.

“Dare to insult my lord, you seek death!”

Ma Han roared, directly breaking through the air and charging forward, cutting off the head of the arrogant mountain bandit leader with a single slash.

In an instant, blood gushed like a pillar.

Blade light and blood shadows.

A large number of Demon Suppression Guards advanced, slaughtering the patrolling mountain bandits.

“Ah, Captain!”

“Send the signal, Demon Suppression Guards have invaded the mountain. Kill them all, not a single one can be allowed to escape!”

A mountain bandit roared. Signal flares exploded in different parts of the Hengduan Mountains, alarming a large number of mountain bandits.

Did this group of Demon Suppression Guards really think it was still a thousand years ago, when the Demon Suppression Division suppressed the world and could act recklessly?

Today, let them see that times have changed.

Chu Jiang did not stop these mountain bandits from calling for reinforcements. It just saved him the time and effort of searching for them one by one.

In an instant.

Countless mountain bandits, like a tide, swept out from different parts of the Soul Severing Mountain Range.

“Damn court dogs!”

“You killed the saints of my Soul Severing Mountain, you all must die!”

The number of people alone was tens of thousands.

This was not some scattered bandits.

This was no longer called mountain bandits; it was a local armed separatist force.

…

“Report to the Ten Protectors and the Three Chieftains that Chu Jiang, the Demon Suppression Guard from the Imperial Capital and the Three Prefectures Patrol Envoy, has arrived at the Soul Severing Mountain Range!”

“There was a conflict with our people. Have them deal with the people as soon as possible.”

A middle-aged man in a grey-blue long robe, holding a feather fan, gently waved it, appearing both mysterious and elegant.

“Yes, Sir Zhiduoxing!”

His subordinates immediately began to send messages.

…

Chu Jiang sat on the Fire Kirin, quietly watching. These low-level mountain bandits were not worth his action.

The human emperor banner had already been inserted into the Void Realm, with rolling yin winds and surging purple Qi, secretly absorbing the mountain bandits’ souls.

Although these mountain bandits were numerous, ninety percent of them were Vajra Realm and Grandmaster Realm martial artists. There were less than a thousand martial artists above Transcendent, and Faxiang Realm martial artists were even rarer.

In contrast, the Demon Suppression Guard and the Tiger Brave Army, all four thousand of them, were Transcendent, none below Golden Core fifth level, and each possessed formidable combat power. Moreover, there were Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu, the Four Vajras, leading the charge.

After just a few charges, the mountain bandits were at an absolute disadvantage.

Chu Jiang’s ten personal guards, as well as the Four Vajras, were slaughtering madly. Almost no one could withstand a few moves against them.

“You beasts, you killed the saints of my Soul Severing Mountain, die for me!”

Boom!

One after another, Heaven and Earth Realm experts charged from the depths of the Soul Severing Mountain Range, their powerful aura sweeping across the surrounding airspace.

The Protectors of Soul Severing Mountain arrived upon hearing the news, followed by hundreds of people, all of whom were Golden Core and above experts. There were over fifty Faxiang Realm hall masters and Elders alone.

All ten Protectors were in the Heaven and Earth Realm, none below Qiankun third level.

The Great Guardian’s eyes were crimson, burning with rage. His Soul Severing Mountain had been established for so long, and no one had ever dared to so wantonly slaughter their people.

In just this short time, the Soul Severing Mountain Range was already a river of blood, with an estimated seven or eight thousand mountain bandit casualties.

The losses were extremely heavy.

“Noisy!”

Chu Jiang on the Fire Kirin let out a cold shout. The Demon Slayer Blade automatically unsheathed, like a meteor streaking across the heavens and earth, instantly traversing tens of thousands of meters and appearing before the high-ranking mountain bandits who had come to reinforce.

“Pfft!”

The blade light shone brightly. The several Protectors at the very front were directly pierced through by a single blade, instantly killing three Heaven and Earth Realm experts.

In an instant.

Blood splattered, and three heads flew high into the air…
