Chapter 198: Killing a Young One

The battlefield of sand in front of the desolate city.

Qiao Mu appeared again, carrying Dao Shun’s body, but now he had a different identity.

Qiao Ruosen!

After Qiao Shuangsen, the second Qiao’s family to enter the desert, the second member of the so-called Immortal Slaying Army.

The presence of such a character naturally brought a shock that just a "Qiao Shuangsen" alone could not reach to Captain Hai and others.

"Is there really reinforcement?"

Captain Hai’s hand holding the sword trembled slightly as he looked at the old man in front of him, his gaze unintentionally falling on the body of Dao Shun, dressed in the Great Dao Sect robe, at his feet.

Immortal Slaying Army! Using Martial Arts to Defeat Immortals!

This is the magnificent blueprint that Qiao Shuangsen depicted when he entered the lonely city, in front of the military and civilians of the entire city!

It was as beautiful as an unrealistic dream.

Just like the little girl who sold matches and was about to die from hunger and cold, she lit the matches and saw the fantasies from deep inside her heart.

Captain Hai knew that it was just an illusion, a lie he deliberately made up.

It was supposed to be like this.

But at this moment, he hesitated. He looked at the lifeless body of Qiao Mu, and his mind was filled with turmoil.

Don’t say kill someone who is inhuman.

How many years has it been since he last saw a real inhuman on the battlefield?

The number of old soldiers trapped in the isolated city decreases every year, to the point where they can’t even see the true face of an inhuman anymore.

Occasionally, when an inhuman attacks the city, they only encounter Taoist soldiers like paper manbean soldiers, who sacrifice their lives for generations but can’t even exchange one life for another.

And now, when he thought the isolated city was about to perish, he saw the day when the beautiful dream came true.

The person in front of them was Qiao Ruosen, not the previous Qiao Shuangsen.

Their different identities naturally meant that there was an important message behind it.

"The so-called Immortal Slaying Army really has the possibility of using martial arts to defeat immortals."

"Has the outer Jiu Province finally mastered the way to enter this vast desert after the existence of the great formation for forty years?"

This Hundred-mile Desert is not without outsiders, there are just very few of them.

Just like the Wu Ling people accidentally entering the Peach Blossom Paradise, occasionally there are people who can enter this vast desert.

Other than that, there are only a few martial artists like Qiao Mu who are intentionally or unintentionally deceived by the people from the Immortal Gate to come in.

But today, they see a third type of person.

With unknown means that they have yet to understand, the Immortal Slaying Army actively enters the desert from the outside!

"Does the Immortal Slaying Army really exist?"

Captain Hai’s heart echoed with Qiao Shuangsen’s last words, his emotions rising and falling.

At this time, he was not quite sure about the truth of the matter.

The "Xumi Mountain King Sutra" is real, and there has indeed been remarkable progress in martial arts in the outside Jiu Province under the pressure of immortals.

It is true that Qiao Shuangsen has already died in battle, and Qiao Ruosen, who was the second to enter the desert and appeared with Dao Shun’s body, is also real.

As for their mention of the Immortal Slaying Army…

After the initial joy of surviving the calamity and the shock of realizing the existence of the Immortal Slaying Army, when they came back to their senses and looked at Qiao Ruosen before them, Captain Hai felt a heavy burden in his heart again.

"Elder Lao, Qiao Shuangsen…?"

"He died in battle, I already know. It was his personal choice, unrelated to any of you," Qiao Mu said with a deep gaze.

"The Qiao family motto, guiding the heart and leading the way."

"He chose this path for himself, so even if he dies, he can’t blame others."

"But a tree cannot grow into a forest alone. Even though Qiao Shuangsen is dead, there will still be successors."

"Beyond the great formation, there are still remaining members of the Immortal Slaying Army, and I am the second vanguard."

Does it have nothing to do with us?

Captain Hai remained silent.

He turned around and looked at the twisted and bloody body of Qiao Shuangsen on the battlefield, then glanced at the ruined town behind him.

"You and your father are outsiders, right? It’s correct that the matters within this city have nothing to do with you," thought Captain Hai.

"With your strength, perhaps you can also be self-sufficient like the Earth Sword Immortal…."

Earth Sword Immortal is the pinnacle of a martial artist who has been in the martial world for forty years.

Heroes who violate the law with their martial arts often clash with the imperial court. Officials see martial artists as lawless troublemakers, while martial artists see officials as loyal followers of the court.

Although many martial artists joined the military forty years ago, more martial artists focused on their own matters.

Clearly, Earth Sword Immortal is also one of the representative figures in the martial world forty years ago.

……………..

Three people arrived in the lonely city.

There were two bodies and one live person.

The bodies were Dao Shun, a disciple of the Great Dao Sect, and Qiao Shuangsen who was there before.

The live person was Qiao Ruosen, the father of Qiao Shuangsen.

But a short fifteen minutes of time.

Qiao Ruosen arrived and the news of Qiao Ruosen slaying the inhuman spread throughout this isolated city.

"The second Immortal Slaying Army has arrived!"

"The inhuman of the Great Dao Sect is dead, and the Immortal Slaying Army has truly slain someone from the Immortal Gate!"

"Is he also practicing the ‘Xumi Mountain King Sutra’? Is martial arts really effective? Is this the progress happening outside in Jiu Province?"

The soldiers and civilians within the isolated city immediately became excited.

If Qiao Shuangsen had entered the city before and spread the ‘Xumi Mountain King Sutra,’ it would have been like painting a beautiful picture for the people in the city.

And now, when Qiao Ruosen returns after slaying the inhuman, it truly shows these people in the city that the possibility depicted in this picture can come true.

"But why is there only one person coming in?" Some people wondered about this.

Soon, an old soldier retorted. What era is this? Are we still fighting traditional battles?

"Since Qiao Shuangsen and his son have surpassed us old soldiers and have the ability to form an army on their own, why can’t one person be a whole army?"

He personally witnessed Qiao Shuangsen fighting to the death on the battlefield and saw his impressive strength, so he naturally held him in high regard.

The old soldiers were already old, and their vitality was declining due to their age.

This isolated city desperately needed a hero to turn the tide.

Even if it was false, these old soldiers would try their best, just like Captain Hai’s previous lies, to make the soldiers and civilians in the city believe this lie.

Moreover, Qiao Mu truly did kill the inhuman Dao Shun.

……..

Inside the dilapidated Taoist temple.

Earth Sword Immortal looked calm and unaffected by the noisy crowd in the city, continuing to carve the statue in his hands.

Lu Yanbei, with his wound bandaged, sat beside him and chattered on about the adventures of Qiao Shuangsen and Qiao Ruosen, full of emotions.

"Second brother, are you done talking? You’re bothering me," Earth Sword Immortal said impatiently.

"Just killing a disciple from the Great Dao Sect, what’s there to be so happy about?"

The higher you stand, the farther you can see.

Earth Sword Immortal once stood at the pinnacle of the martial arts world, hailed as the Sword Immortal in exile by martial artists everywhere.

He stood taller than any other martial artist, naturally allowing him to see farther as well.

"Remember, the Nine Immortal Gates are involved. After killing a disciple from the Great Dao Sect, have you considered how the Nine Immortal Gates will handle this?" Earth Sword Immortal said calmly.

"This place is already under the control of the Nine Immortal Gates. It won’t be easy to hide today’s events from them."

"Killed a young one, attracted an old one, this is a common occurrence, after all, Nine Immortal Gates are really powerful."

"How many people are in the Immortal Slaying Army you mentioned, enough to be killed by inhumans?"
