Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1344: Chapter 437: Killing and Interrogation, 5 Great Feudal Towns, 4 Su Family Siblings, the Excitement After a Long Absence

Just earlier in the Bone-Eroding Path, upon hearing the word "road fee" from the Black Wind General’s mouth, Xia Hong was both shocked and puzzled.

The deceitful monster actually knew how to set up a checkpoint to charge fees!

But what could it possibly collect?

Based on the monster’s needs, Xia Hong actually had some guesses about this road fee, but considering that Cai Qiu is, after all, a feudal town-level power, he thought there might be other possibilities.

It wasn’t until he was about to escape the Bone-Eroding Path, clearly perceiving the situation outside, that he truly confirmed that the so-called road fee turned out to be living people, and they were all young folks under 20 years old.

Poof......

Xia Hong spat another mouthful of fresh blood, lowered his head to see black air continuously emerging from the knife wound on his chest, furrowed his brows, quickly pulled out a piece of solidified fire oil from his pack, smeared it on his chest, then swallowed a healing Jade Wound Pill, and swiftly closed his eyes to meditate.

Hiss......

As the solidified fire oil touched the wound, sparks instantly flew, cooperating with the Jade Wound Pill to quickly suppress the injuries on his body.

"May I ask, senior, where have you come from?"

But barely three or four breaths later, He Qing led a group of soldiers over.

Xia Hong slightly opened his eyes, seeing the respectful posture of He Qing, who was holding a big saber, continuously approaching him, first feeling somewhat confused, then noticing those soldiers around, seemingly unintentionally but slowly surrounding him, suddenly finding it bizarre.

He looked up at He Qing, discovering that the other’s eyes occasionally glanced at the Shattered Star Sword and pack that he had just placed on the ground, realizing that he hadn’t released any energy after coming out of the Bone-Eroding Path, comprehending the actions of He Qing and the others, he couldn’t help but chuckle dryly.

This was thinking that his injuries were too severe, contemplating killing him to steal treasures!

"Senior, I have some healing pills; why not give them a try?"

He Qing kept cautiously approaching, waiting until only five meters away from Xia Hong, and even took out a bottle of pills from his bosom with the left hand, continuing to walk forward, seemingly genuinely planning to pass the pills to Xia Hong.

Xia Hong did not respond, merely watching He Qing with a calm expression, allowing him to walk all the way to his front.

Whoosh......

When only two meters away from Xia Hong, He Qing’s eyes suddenly turned cold, he violently struck, the big saber in his right hand directly slashing horizontally toward Xia Hong’s chest.

Xia Hong didn’t make any moves from start to finish; when his big saber touched the other’s chest, He Qing’s face revealed a grim smile, his eyes became extremely fervent.

A severely wounded Xianyang Level, if managed to kill, would definitely make a fortune...

Opportunity, this is my opportunity, He Qing’s opportunity!

Clang...

However, in the next second, the grim smile on his face abruptly ceased, and his previously fervent eyes seemed to have been doused with a basin of cold water, instantly replaced by terror and astonishment.

His basic strength of 38 zongs, coupled with the cultivation technique’s addition, this saber’s force had at least 45 zongs, and it targeted Xia Hong’s already wounded chest area.

Yet this saber couldn’t even break through Xia Hong’s skin membrane.

Not only did it fail to break, but the Ten Thousand Forged Great Blade in his hand even snapped.

"Finished!"

Two words popped into He Qing’s mind; without thinking, he swiftly abandoned the saber, exclaimed in surprise: "I am from Cai Qiu Baisui County, County Guard Army Captain, He..."

Bang!

Xia Hong didn’t even give He Qing a chance to speak; in the blink of an eye, he caught the discarded saber and, with a reverse grip, sliced through He Qing’s legs like reaping rice.

"Run!"

Over fifty soldiers around finally realized that this injured young man was not someone they could provoke; someone screamed, and the rest quickly scattered to flee.

"Run?"

The roles between both parties had clearly swapped; Xia Hong turned to watch the soldiers fleeing in every direction, a grim smile flashed across his face as he grasped the broken saber piece from He Qing, and then forcefully folded it.

Clang......

Despite He Qing’s saber being Ten Thousand Forged level and mixed with silver, in Xia Hong’s hands, it was like paper; with such forceful folding, the blade instantly shattered, transforming into dozens of small blade pieces that splattered outward.

The direction of the splatter turned out to be precisely those soldiers scattering outward.

Moreover, the target was without exception aimed at the back of their heads.

Thud... thud... thud...

The densely packed sound of blade pieces piercing through skulls was so overwhelming that it seemed only a few noises were heard before more than twenty corpses fell around.

And those soldiers at the periphery hadn’t even fled more than twenty meters away.

"Who dares to move, give it a try!"

Xia Hong’s low words, like the notes of a death knell, instantly scared the remaining twenty-something soldiers into stopping, but five of them, undeterred by death, paused for only a breath or two before gritting their teeth and continuing to flee.

Seeing the actions of the five, a sliver of coldness rose in Xia Hong’s eyes, directly picking up the small blade pieces scattered on the ground, and raised his hand, shooting them at those five.

Thud......

A slight piercing sound arose, the back of those five heads immediately erupted with small blooms of blood, and their bodies stiffened, vitality severed, crashing to the ground.

The remaining dozen soldiers, witnessing the tragedy of those five, were finally utterly terrified, no longer dared to act, not even to beg for mercy; they faced away from Xia Hong, still maintaining the fleeing stance, faces full of fear and unease.

"All of you, crawl over here and kneel!"

Following Xia Hong’s order, those total seventeen soldiers quickly turned around, nearly stumbling and scrambling over to Xia Hong, directly kneeling before him.

"Mercy, sir, mercy..."
