Chapter 147 Cultivation, Sword Intent

"Treacherous officials are in power, the government is in chaos, demons are ruthless, and the people are suffering."

In the archives, after reading through the various information and intelligence gathered by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Commander Zuo couldn't help but sigh at how difficult it was for people to live in this world.

In modern society, people still say they have something to eat.

But the world is in chaos. The government is in disarray, treacherous officials are in power, and demons roam freely. People eat people, and demons eat people.

Survival is a luxury.

Based on the intelligence gathered by the Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) alone, there were no fewer than a thousand cases of demons eating people.

Not to mention how many people those treacherous and wicked people have harmed.

We are all of the same kind, why are we so eager to harm each other?

You can say that demons harm people, since demons eat people, but as one of their kind, you still harm your own kind when there are demons eyeing you covetously outside.

"Whether you're human or demon, I'll shred you with a single strike."

Zuo Qianhu closed his eyes, then opened them again, his aura becoming even more refined and domineering.

An invisible aura enveloped the room.

This is a kind of momentum, which gradually coalesces into a kind of intention.

Buzz~!

He picked up his longsword and strode out of the archives room into the courtyard.

"Heaven, Earth, Man, Gods, Ghosts, and Demons—I only cultivate the path of humanity!"

Zuo Qianhu brandished his sword, raising a cloud of dust.

Boom~~

In an instant, sand and stones flew everywhere!

"I don't care who you are, god, Buddha, ghost, or demon; anyone who stands in my way will be shattered with a single blow."

"The treacherous and deceitful shall be killed!"

"Demons and monsters, kill them!"

"Demons and monsters, kill them!"

"All gods and Buddhas, kill them!"

With each strike and shout, his aura surged.

With each swing of the sword, a terrifying intent was contained within it.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Zuo Qianhu leaped into the air, slashing with his sword. A terrifying blade aura tore through the clouds, leaving a huge gash.

The blade rang out, its intent soaring through the air.

The intensity of that sword intent caused the entire prefecture to tremble slightly, and countless soldiers with swords hummed and vibrated, all bowing slightly in one direction.

"It's Lord Commander!"

A group of Imperial Guards stared in horror at the figure swinging his sword in mid-air.

The man who dominated the heavens and earth, seemingly about to cleave the sky in two, was deeply shocked.

When did their commanders become so powerful?

"Yin~~"

A sharp clang of a blade echoed in all directions.

With a sudden burst of energy, Zuo Qianhu swept through the air, his entire body shattering the air as he passed by.

He swung his sword at a large mountain outside the state capital.

Boom~~

As the blade struck, the mountain was cleaved diagonally in two, with one section collapsing with a rumble, raising a cloud of dust.

Dashan: ...

You are noble and you are amazing.

"The might of the Thousand Households!"

Thousands of soldiers cheered in unison, their eyes fixed on Commander Zuo with fervent eyes.

He sheathed his sword and slowly stepped into the air, each step seemingly forming an invisible wall beneath his feet.

With each step, a ripple of air spreads out.

This is a realm of martial arts, where one treads on the void and transcends the void.

"By order of this officer, all brothers in the Thousand Households must resume their training and practice martial arts and combat skills every day."

As soon as Zuo Qianhu arrived, he immediately issued orders.

He wanted to maximize the strength of the thousand men under his control.

To be more efficient, I decided to take matters into my own hands and modify their bodies myself.

They called it a beauty treatment, a way to cleanse their marrow and rejuvenate their veins.

This moved all the soldiers under the command of the commander to tears, and they all knelt on the ground, swearing to be loyal to the commander to the death.

In such a chaotic world, strength is the key to survival.

Who wouldn't support a commander who could enhance their strength?

In just one month, the strength of the thousand people in the thousand-household office underwent a dramatic transformation.

Zuo Qianhu put a lot of effort into this.

Not only did he personally instruct them in martial arts training, but he also used nanoparticles to cleanse their marrow and meridians, thus transforming their bodies.

Everyone's strength increased dramatically, with even the weakest possessing the strength of a first-rate martial artist, naturally causing their combat power to skyrocket.

On this day, Zuo Qianhu summoned ten centurions.

"Jiang Qing, Han Yue, I need to go out for a while."

"This trip is to find some materials to forge better weapons for you. The return time is uncertain. For the next period of time, I will rely on you brothers to keep an eye on the Thousand Household Garrison."

Zuo Qianhu made arrangements before his departure.

He is preparing to leave and has already learned the exact time.

It's not time for me to escort Fu Tianchou yet; Fu Tianchou is currently doing well.

So he decided to go out and find some demons to practice against.

My current martial arts Golden Core cultivation level seems insufficient.

One must go further, combining the strengths of all schools to break through the Golden Core realm of martial arts and enter an even higher realm before one can be considered an invincible martial saint.

A martial saint must be recognized and acknowledged by countless people; their fame must be earned through countless battles.

"I humbly obey my orders!"

The ten households all knelt down on one knee.

Now, they only truly acknowledge the Left Commander in front of them.

His orders are everything.

It's because Lord Qianhu gave them too much; not only did he give them cultivation techniques and secret manuals, but he also used his own internal energy to cleanse their marrow and meridians.

You couldn't find a superior like that even with a lantern.

"While I am away, if anyone commits any crime or offense within my jurisdiction, regardless of who they are or their status, they shall be arrested."

Commander Zuo gave the order in a serious tone.

"Yes!"

"Your subordinate will certainly comply."

The group carefully wrote down his instructions.

"Alright, you can all leave now."

Left Commander waved his hand, then went out, took a horse, mounted it, and left the Commander's Office.

Soon after, he arrived at a large mansion in the state capital.

"Young master, you've arrived?"

The woman in red opened the door and welcomed him inside.

Commander Zuo shook his head and refused.

He stood at the door and instructed, "Red Robe, Xiao Li, you two stay here and cultivate well. I'm taking the Hundred Ghost Banner with me."

"The sword of Chi You will be carried by the woman in red. If anything happens, she can send me a message via soul communication."

After saying this, he mounted his horse, turned around, and rode off towards the outside of the prefectural government.

Only Hongyi and Xiaoli remained, along with the Chiyou Sword floating to the side, vibrating with a buzzing sound.

"The young master has left."

Xiaoli's eyes darted around, and she said, "Red Robe, shall we help the young master find a few beauties to take back?"

"Young master, there are too few people to serve you. There are many demons and monsters in this world. You could capture a few beautiful demonesses or female ghosts."

Xiaoli made a suggestion.

Very good, keep it up next time.

“Okay, I sense some demonic aura. Let’s go take a look.”

The woman in red thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

As a half-step drought demon, the red-clothed woman's strength is beyond doubt; even the Tree Demon Granny would have to kneel before her.

Taking this opportunity, she will advance to become a true drought demon in this world.

"Let's go."

With a wave of her hand, the woman in red took Chi You's sword and Xiao Li and vanished into the ground in a flash.

And the other side.

Zuo Qianhu was riding a black horse, heading towards Guobei County.

That's right, it's Guobei County.

Guobei County happened to be one of the counties under the jurisdiction of his commandery.

"I wonder if the Tree Demon Granny was killed, and what about the Black Mountain Demon?"

On the way, Commander Zuo kept thinking about this matter.

The purpose of bringing the Hundred Demon Banner is to upgrade it.

He remembered that there was a group of female ghosts in Lanruo Temple.

Especially that peerless ghost, Nie Xiaoqian.

There's also the Black Mountain Demon's City of the Wrongfully Dead. If you go in with Yan Chixia and collect the thousands of evil spirits in the City of the Wrongfully Dead into the Hundred Ghosts Banner, it will surely be upgraded to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

"Black Mountain Demon, I hope you won't mind if I borrow some evil spirits and ghost soldiers from you."

The left commander's lips curled into a smile, and he spurred his horse to increase its speed.

Dust billowed up along the way, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the official road.

Life's journey is as long as a beautiful dream~~~
