Chapter 153 Bloodbath
At the next day, Lu Tong and Xue Min stood opposite each other on the flat ground in a huge valley. The two were about twenty feet apart. Wei Fu and Ziwei Prefecture Linzhou Lord stood leisurely on Xue Minke's right hand, while Lu Tong's right were Chu Shixiong, Jin Qingkun and Qianfan Prefecture Dingzhou Lord. The three seemed to be slightly solemn in the competition.
Lu Chong instantly condensed his true energy on the fingertips of his hands, and a white air flow was swirling between his ten fingers. Lu Chong kept firing on his hands, and countless fierce true energy marbles flew towards Xue Minke on the opposite side.
Xue Min also quickly stirred her flexible hands, and large fog of qi-shaped clouds began to be shrouded around her body, and then condensed into raindrops. The particles flew down from the air and turned into countless qi-shaped sword rains.
I saw the true Qi marble and the Qi-shaped sword rain colliding and exploded between the two. Everyone heard a crackling sound in their ears. The exploded particles gradually expanded until they disappeared, and a clear light began to appear in the air again.
Lu Chong and Xue Min both stood steadily in their original place, but Lu Chong's face was still cold and dull, while Xue Min's hands were trembling with imperceptible tremors.
Xue Min took a deep breath of true energy, raised her hands above her head, and slowly fanned forward, as if calling for the clouds in the sky to move. Soon, thick layers of air gathered in front of Xue Min, rolling up like sea waves, continuously wrapping towards Lu Chong's whole body.
Lu Chong controlled the true energy to form an extremely huge handprint, and fanned violently towards the rolling sea waves. The first fan cut off the sea wave air layer in front, and the second fan blocked the thick sea wave seal that rushed from behind for more than ten feet to move. When the third big handprint fan passed, all the sea wave air layers disappeared, while Xue Min on the opposite side also kept taking a few big steps towards the back.
Lu Chong walked steadily towards Xue Min, who was retreating. Xue Min stared at Lu Chong who was pressing step by step. A mouthful of pure true energy was sprayed out quickly. Lu Chong condensed his true energy to protect his body and moved slightly to the left. Everyone saw the pure true energy shot into Lu Chong's true energy, and the protective true energy and pure true energy dissipated and melted at the same time.
Xue Minke, who looked at Lu Chong's true qi protecting his body and dissolving his pure true qi in shock, did not react for a while. The strong pure true qi representing the middle level of the martial arts realm was so vulnerable. Only then did everyone see that Lu Chong also sprayed a breath from his mouth, like a lightning-like feather arrow, cut off one of Xue Minke's right arm from the root and fell on the ground in the valley.
Xue Min's whole body was knocked back by a strong airflow for more than one foot and fell heavily on the flat ground. Her face was extremely pale, as if she was suffering from incomparable pain. The Wei Fu and the Linzhou Lord of Ziweizhou who were on the side rushed towards Xue Minke who was falling to the ground in panic. Wei Fu stepped forward to help Xue Minke up. The Linzhou Lord picked up the broken arm that fell on the ground. The three of them stared at the extremely cold Lu Chong opposite him with trembling.
Chu Shixiong, Jin Qingkun and the Dingzhou Master of Qianfanzhou were the result of a very unexpected competition. The three of them approached Lu Chong and were waiting for Lu Chong to make the final decision, because this was the best opportunity to kill Xue Minke.
Lu Chong shook his head, without any idea of continuing to take action. If he wanted to kill Xue Minke just now, it would have caused the other party to die. Lu Chong said calmly: "I don't want to cause too much harm to Changguo and the king, but I want to warn you that if there is another provocation, I will never kill him with scruples. Now give me what I promised and leave Chongmingzhou quickly, otherwise I will make you regret coming here."
The three of them quickly handed over the 130 purple gold coins that had been prepared to Lu Chong, and then quickly disappeared outside the valley. Lu Chong gave the 30 purple gold coins to Chu Shixiong, Jin Qingkun and the Dingzhou Empress of Qianfanzhou said: "I'll bother you to try your best to maintain the affairs of Chongmingzhou. I won't say much if you thank you. We will still be an allied army that supports each other in the future. I believe that Xue Min's strength has been greatly reduced after being injured this time. We can also take the opportunity to expand our business strength, and they dare not go against us openly."
The three of them happily put away the purple gold coins distributed by Lu Tong. They did not expect that Lu Tong had such a brilliant martial arts. Even Xue Min, who broke through the middle level of the martial arts realm, was not a match for Lu Tong. It can be seen that Lu Tong's martial arts had reached an unfathomable level, and there was a faint sense of the powerful aura of the Great Prefecture Lord. The Dazhou Tongmenghui, with Lu Tong as the core, was promoted by more benefits.
After seeing off Chu Shixiong and the other two who had returned with great pleasure, Lu Chong brought Chu Yu, Chu Li and the eight officers who returned with him to the army. At this time, various exercises had been reduced in the army. Lu Chong and the others saw an extremely chaotic and scattered scene.
When Lu Chong asked someone to beat the war drum in the military camp, General Jia in the army came over with a group of people angrily. When he saw Lu Chong standing in the camp, he came over to salute in surprise. Lu Chong asked him to rectify the military camp immediately. General Jia hurriedly summoned all the officers to line up and set up a formation.
Waiting for the entire military camp to set up a formation, Lu Chong led a group of senior officers to the high platform where the lecture was held. Lu Chong said in a deep and shocking voice: "I feel very angry when I see your situation today. You are soldiers who serve the country and cannot even do the most basic exercises. Where is your conscience? What are your face? What qualifications do you have to say that your military salary is insufficient? How can such an army protect the people and how can you face the battles at the border?"
Seeing many officers and soldiers lower their heads, Lu Chong continued, "Although I am angry at this situation, this is not everyone's responsibility. This is mainly because your General Jia and the two lieutenants who are with him are working. Your respected General Jia is about to lead a group of people out of Chongming Prefecture and prepare to go back to Yanzhou to appoint, so I must clean up the rebels in our army today."
After Lu Chong finished speaking, he didn't wait for General Jia to argue. A big hand seal grabbed General Jia who was the six-mechanic craftsman, threw General Jia's body into the air, and immediately fired ten true qi marbles on General Jia. General Jia screamed in the air. When General Jia's body fell from the air, it had turned into several large pieces of bloody mass.
Nearly 10,000 people in the entire army were shocked. Lu Chong acted as usual to kill the two lieutenants who followed General Jia, and then handed him a list of 21 active-duty officers who followed General Jia and others in the army, and beheaded and displayed in public.
When everyone calmed down from the shock, Lu Chong said loudly: "As soldiers in the military camp, we must have the spirit of dedicating ourselves to the country. Military disciplines are scattered and greedy for money must be cleaned up. What I want is soldiers who can conquer and fight well and get high rewards through military merits. What we need is iron-blooded honor."
Lu Chong pointed to the eight officers who returned from the Lost Island and said to everyone in the barracks: "They are all warriors who went to the Lost Island with me to open the route. They all crawled from the blood. There are also several brothers who have stayed on the Lost Island forever. However, such soldiers are considered real soldiers. They should have the highest honor and reward of huge wealth. Each of them eight received a reward of 200 gold coins, and the families of the dead soldiers also received a reward of 100 gold coins."
Lu Chong looked at the excited officers and soldiers and continued, "Now I announce that the new general will be Chu Yu, two of these eight people will serve as lieutenants, and the other six will serve as officers at all levels. In the future, all soldiers will have to practice hard. I will ask the state government to pay you enough fees to increase training materials. A strict reward and punishment plan must be set up in the military camp. You can only use skills and military merits to obtain more coins and honors. Tell me loudly, are you willing?"
"Will!" All the officers and soldiers shouted high, wishing to start practicing hard immediately and strive to win countless coins and honors like those award-winning officers.
