Next, it's time to leave Lin County!
After breaking through to the Refining Blood Realm, Gu Qingfeng's five senses also became much sharper. The entire Lin County gave him a strong sense of discomfort, and the blood mist hanging overhead was filled with Grievances and ill omens.
In his eyes, Lin County was now a dead zone.
Staying here.
Would surely lead to a dead end.
However.
Before leaving Lin County, Gu Qingfeng consolidated his cultivation Realm again and consumed and refined all three remaining blood refinement pills.
After his cultivation Breakthrough, the restrictions on him taking blood refinement pills were also greatly reduced.
Three blood refinement pills.
Gu Qingfeng finished refining them in just one day.
However.
blood refinement pills truly lived up to their name as pills taken by Refining Blood Realm Martial Artists. As the three blood refinement pills were refined, he felt his vital energy become much more abundant. If he truly had a large number of blood refinement pills, breaking through to the middle stage of Refining Blood later on would likely not be an issue.
Martial Artist cultivation.
Firstly relies on martial arts, and secondly relies on resources such as pills.
The former goes without saying; martial arts like Mountain Shattering Fist and Iron Body Skill are essentially specific methods that allow Martial Artists to temper their bodies and break through to higher levels.
If there are no corresponding martial arts, then one can only rely on exploring little by little on their own.
And then.
There are pills.
It doesn't matter if there are no corresponding martial arts to temper the body; having enough pills is sufficient.
With enough pills, breaking through is also an easy matter.
On the second day after breaking through to the Refining Blood Realm.
Gu Qingfeng finally decided to leave Lin County.
Immediately.
He took Gu Yang with him and walked towards the city gate.
Not long after.
The two arrived at the city gate.
They saw that in front of the Lin County city gate, there were already constables and yamen runners guarding it. This made Gu Qingfeng frown, but he still didn't stop his steps.
At the same time.
The constables guarding there also discovered his whereabouts.
"By order of the County Lord, no one is allowed to leave Lin County without permission!"
The leading middle-aged constable said coldly.
Gu Qingfeng didn't reply, but looked at the other constables and yamen runners. He saw that each of them unconsciously gripped the hilt of their saber, staring at him with stern expressions, as if ready to attack immediately if he disagreed.
"Did you hear what I said..."
Just as the middle-aged constable was about to scold him, he saw Gu Qingfeng suddenly release Gu Yang's hand. He took a sudden step forward, his shoulder crashing violently into the other party's chest.
"Boom!"
Gu Qingfeng's body was as hard as iron. Under the impact of his extremely powerful force, the constable's chest instantly caved in, and he was sent flying horizontally like withered grass. Before he even landed, he was already dead.
"How dare you!"
"Kill him..."
The remaining constables and yamen runners were all startled. They drew their long sabers one after another, intending to completely kill Gu Qingfeng here.
However.
Just as they were preparing to attack, Gu Qingfeng had already made his move first. His right fist shot out like a yellow dragon, and under the horrified gaze of a constable, he punched him in the face.
Bang—
A single punch powerful enough to break stone monuments caused the opponent's head to explode like a watermelon.
At this moment.
The attacks of the other constables and yamen runners also arrived.
The gleaming long sabers, carrying strong winds, chopped down. Several constables and yamen runners wore ferocious expressions, as if they were seeing Gu Qingfeng being chopped into meat paste by them.
However.
When the long sabers fell, the expected splash of blood did not appear. The blades were like striking hard rock, and the powerful recoil force even caused several nicks in the blades themselves.
"What!"
The several constables and yamen runners were greatly shocked.
Gu Qingfeng also turned around at this time. He grabbed a blade with the five fingers of his right hand, then squeezed it hard. The long saber forged from refined iron immediately shattered. A large number of blade fragments were casually flung out by him, instantly piercing the bodies of several constables and yamen runners.
"Ah!"
The severe pain caused these people to cry out in agony.
But when they saw Gu Qingfeng's figure, their previous arrogance was gone, and they begged for mercy with faces full of panic.
"Mercy, mercy!!!"
"Let me go—"
Gu Qingfeng's expression was stern. With one punch each, amidst the pleas for mercy from these constables and yamen runners, he completely killed them all on the spot.
This battle began abruptly and ended quickly.
It only took a few breaths from start to finish; all the constables and yamen runners had been completely killed.
Gu Yang, who was standing by, was stunned. Looking at the scene of blood and corpses all over the ground, his small face was blank, unsure if it was fear or something else.
When Gu Qingfeng came in front of him, the smell of blood rushed towards him, which finally made Gu Yang wake up.
"Father..."
"Now that the blood mist is pervasive, they deliberately sealed the city gates to make us die here. This Heaven is like this; if you don't kill others, others will kill you. In chaotic times, kindness will only harm yourself.
Today, Father will teach you the first lesson: if you don't act, so be it, but once you act, you must cut the grass by the roots and eliminate future troubles forever!"
Gu Qingfeng's expression was serious. The bloody killing intent on his body after killing people seemed to have increased by a few points out of thin air.
Gu Yang was stunned for a moment, then looked at the corpses on the ground again, and finally nodded vigorously: "This child understands!"
"That's for the best."
Gu Qingfeng was also observing Gu Yang's reaction. Seeing that the other party didn't show much fear because of the dead people, he was satisfied with this.
What he was most worried about.
Was Gu Yang fearing killing and being naturally kind. If it were in a time of peace and prosperity, such a character would naturally be fine.
But in today's chaotic times, such a character would only harm himself.
Having been in this world for over twenty years, Gu Qingfeng had witnessed far too much killing. Although he hadn't truly killed anyone before this, he had long felt the reality of such chaotic times.
Now that he was truly killing people, Gu Qingfeng's heart didn't fluctuate much. In fact, there was even a faint, indescribable excitement within him.
That's right.
It was excitement.
Gu Qingfeng didn't have much resistance to this change in himself. He glanced at the corpses of the constables and yamen runners on the ground. The commotion here was not small, and it was estimated that it wouldn't be long before the officials arrived.
Thinking of this, he had no intention of delaying further. He directly took Gu Yang's hand and walked towards the blood mist outside the city.
Not long after Gu Qingfeng and Gu Yang left, other hidden commoners also slowly emerged.
"Where did this ruthless person come from? He even dared to kill the officials!"
"That person looks a bit familiar, he seems to be an instructor at Golden Bull Martial Arts School."
"Is he tired of living? Not only did he kill someone, but he also dared to walk out of the city?"
Many commoners were shocked by the scene that just occurred. Because Gu Qingfeng had been in Lin County for many years, some people recognized his identity.
Upon hearing the words Golden Bull Martial Arts School, some people's expressions relaxed.
Afterwards, they looked at the mutilated corpses and broken limbs on the ground, their eyes showing obvious fear. But when they looked at the blood mist outside the city gate, their eyes became flickering, wondering what they were thinking.
