The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1745 Zhang Cheng: "Did he pick up the wrong script?"

Amidst the raging flames, shouts of battle erupted from within the Ximen mansion.
Stepping forward quickly, Zhang Cheng drew his knife and roared, "The constables of Qinghe County are here! Stop right there!"

In the spacious front hall, more than ten burly bandits dressed in black immediately turned their heads, their eyes filled with murderous intent.
Wearing his clothes, Ximen Qing couldn't help but shout, "Officer, save me!"

"Um, I... I came to the wrong place! Please continue!"

Looking at the servants and men lying scattered on the ground, their eyes wide open in death, Zhang Cheng felt a pang of guilt.
Because these thugs are not only incredibly rude, but they're also really good fighters!
"It's you!"

Enemies meeting are bound to be furious; one of the ruthless bandits, brandishing a knife, charged at Zhang Cheng.

Looking at the other party's ugly appearance and missing teeth, Zhang Cheng exclaimed in astonishment, "Holy crap, instead of running away, you guys actually dare to rob the Ximen family! You're incredibly audacious!"

"Second brother, this is the kid who captured me!"

Pointing at Zhang Cheng and roaring, the bandit turned around and howled.
"Kill Ximen Qing first, then chop up that constable!"

Pointing at Ximen Qing in front of him, the bandit couldn't help but shout angrily.

Upon hearing this, the remaining bandits immediately glared fiercely at Ximen Qing, their eyes filled with rampant murderous intent.
Seeing the tense situation, Ximen Qing gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, "You want to kill me, Ximen Qing? Aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth?"

After saying this, Ximen Qing immediately stepped forward, his coat billowing as he occasionally sent several people flying.

Staring at Ximen Qing in shock, Zhang Cheng's head was buzzing.
What the hell is going on here? Is Ximen Qing somehow playing the role of Ximen Chuixue? How come he even knows the Kasaya Subduing Demon Skill?

With a single move, "White Crane Spreads Wings," she flipped her arms behind her back, leaving Ximen Qing seemingly bewildered.
Because although Ximen Qing was arrogant and domineering, he never offended anyone to the point of death!
But why are these ruthless bandits risking their lives to kill me today?
Just as Ximen Qing was puzzled, Zhang Cheng had already figured it out: it must be because the captured thief was resentful and had come to seek revenge.
After all, he was referring to Ximen Qing's name!

If you ask everyone in Qinghe County if they know Zhang Cheng, many people might not. But if you ask Ximen Qing, well, sorry, everyone in Qinghe County can tell you how to get to his house!

"You bastard, I told you, once I get out, I'll take your life. Do you believe me now?!"

With a vicious slash, the bandit's eyes were now bloodshot, as if he wanted to tear Zhang Cheng to pieces.
Holding his ground against his opponent, Zhang Cheng revealed a mocking smile and said, "Take this hidden weapon!"

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng reached out and touched his chest.

Staring at Zhang Cheng in shock, the bandits instinctively backed away, fearing he might pull out some more lime powder.

But the moment he raised his hands to cover his eyes, Zhang Cheng slashed his neck with a knife, saying, "Ha! Just kidding!"

"puff!"

Blood splattered everywhere. The bandit glared menacingly at Zhang Cheng, hysterically shouting, "Second Brother!"

During the struggle, he turned his head and, upon seeing his appearance, the thug roared, "You dared to kill my brother? I'll take your life!"

After saying this, the other party completely ignored Ximen Qing and angrily charged towards Zhang Cheng.

Seeing the other party charging towards him like a heavy tank, Zhang Cheng immediately shouted, "Brother Laifu, help!"

"Canglang!"

Drawing his knife from his waist, Er Gou quickly stepped forward and said, "Goodness, let me give it a try!"

"Clang clang clang!"

The two sharp blades clashed together, sparks flying.

As Zhang Cheng grabbed the thief's wrist, he forcefully slashed the neck with the knife, then immediately pulled him violently.
"Wow!"

With his head held in his hand, the man's limp body slowly collapsed to the ground.
Having witnessed his brother's beheading, the ruthless bandit roared in fury.
"Oh!"

As Er Gou was kicked back, he fell straight down next to Zhang Cheng, coughing uncontrollably.
Shocked by what he saw, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Laifu? You..."

"No, no, this guy is too fierce! I can't beat him!" Er Gou waved his hand at Zhang Cheng, looking extremely embarrassed.
He even said he would protect Zhang Cheng, but I never expected this guy to be so ruthless.

"Take your life!"

They rushed forward in anger, only to see the ruthless bandit roar...

Seeing the other party's fierce appearance, Zhang Cheng dared not fight back. After all, fighting is not encouraged, and it's impolite to cut each other!

"A shower of gold coins!"

Zhang Cheng threw out the lime powder he had prepared beforehand; he had already used every trick in the book.

"Wow!"

The lime powder exploded in the air, immediately blinding the other person, who then let out a hysterical roar.

With a disdainful sneer, Zhang Cheng took the opportunity to brush a stray strand of hair back and said, "You think you're so tough? I'm tough too! You little punk!"

Staring at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, the bandits who were fighting Ximen Qing stopped what they were doing, because they had never seen such a shameless person before!

"what!"

He roared angrily, and the ruthless bandit instinctively swung his knife in response to the sound.

Just then, hurried footsteps approached.
Upon hearing the sound, many bandits immediately stepped forward and said, "Second Master, the constables are here, let's go!"

Seeing that they were still planning to help the thugs escape, Zhang Cheng immediately prepared to step forward to stop them.
But when he saw the men staring at him fiercely, he immediately stopped in his tracks.

The way these people held their knives and stood in formation was strikingly similar to that of border troops.
"Ximen Qing, I will never let you get away with this!"

With an angry roar, the man, with the help of those around him, quickly rushed out.
Squinting, Zhang Cheng's eyes flickered involuntarily.
There's something fishy about the background of this group of people!
How could a border soldier's swordsmanship and conduct possibly make him a "bandit"?

Something's definitely not right!

When Liu, the head constable, arrived at the Ximen residence with his men, he gasped in shock upon seeing the chaotic state of the courtyard.
The sight of the servants lying scattered on the ground was enough to demonstrate just how dangerous the battle had been.
"Ximen Qing, thank you, Liu Ban Tou, for saving my life!"

Stepping forward to speak to Liu, the head constable, Ximen Qing was also in a very bad state, as he was covered in blood.
However, because he had martial arts training, he had a decent foundation and at least didn't fall down.

"You're too kind, Master Ximen!"

Liu Bantou bowed to Ximen Qing, then looked at Laifu not far away and said, "Er Gou, if you're not dead, get up!"

"Boss, I really can't go on, that kick was too heavy!"

Clutching his chest, Er Gou immediately feigned being on the verge of death.

Seeing Er Gou's condition, Liu Bantou had someone go and help him up.
Just then, Ximen Qing stepped forward and said, "To thank you all for saving us, here is a small gift. Please don't take it seriously!"

As he spoke, Ximen Qing's still-living steward took out a box of silver.
Seeing Ximen Qing's generous spending, Zhang Cheng finally understood why this guy was so arrogant in Qinghe County. It was because he was rich and really had a lot of influence!

"Thank you very much, Master Ximen!"

After having the silver accepted, Liu, the foreman, didn't say anything, but instead nodded to Er Gou.
Looking at the two of them, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but twitch his lips. Good heavens, no wonder he said Laifu wouldn't get up after being kicked; it was all a setup! He was still too naive!
"Brother, thank you so much for tonight. I, Ximen Qing, will forever remember your great kindness!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, Ximen Qing disliked the man's methods, but Zhang Cheng had truly saved his life.

"You're welcome, you're welcome!"

While outwardly smiling at Ximen Qing, Zhang Cheng inwardly cursed him.

Because this guy wouldn't be interested in his fiancée, would he?
Zhang Cheng: Wait, do I have a wife?
