Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 66 Thunder God, Blood Qi (Seeking monthly votes)
A rumbling sound came from afar.

The ground shook.

Lu Wubing's eyes turned cold, and he drew his sword and stepped forward.

Blood was still dripping from the wound on his arm...

The sword's edge drew a faint white line on the stone floor.

Just as he was thinking, he planned to rush the carriage traveling in the middle of the long street before the city guards arrived, kill Zhao Shilian on the spot, and eliminate the biggest threat.

Before he could even get close.

Suddenly, they noticed that the hundreds of constables guarding the black-covered carriage had all made way for it.

All the constables either had shifty eyes, kept their heads down in silence, or slipped away...

All living beings are diverse and strange.

The only thing they had in common was that they all slowly got off the carriage.

"Damn it, you all deserve to die... I've been raising an army for a thousand days to use it for one day. What have I been doing raising this bunch of useless trash all this time?"

Zhao Shilian roared until his voice cracked, but he was at a loss for what to do.

Lei Hong, the city commander's brother-in-law, arrived quickly with his troops, presumably having received the news well in advance.

As long as these constables can hold me off for a while, I'll be safe.

They can also send out a large number of people to surround and hunt down this monkey-faced mad swordsman.

But what did he see?
Seeing these usually loud and boisterous constables become as docile as sheep was quite a surprise.

Upon encountering the enemy, retreat before even engaging in battle.

Zhao Shilian almost spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

"It seems you're not as popular as you thought."

At such a serious juncture.

Lu Wubing almost burst out laughing at the scene before him.

Legend has it that some people lose their fighting spirit when faced with an invincible enemy.

There will be situations where one or two people suppress hundreds or thousands of people.

They did not know how to resist, but simply waited to be slaughtered.

This time, he truly witnessed it for himself.

I am either the villain or someone else in it.

Where does this come from?

"Who exactly are you, and what grudge do you have against my Zhao family?"

He was about to die.

Prefect Zhao did regain some of his fighting spirit.

"Don't you understand? Actually, I just want to protect myself."

A hint of mockery flashed in Lu Wubing's eyes.

Even now, Prefect Zhao still doesn't understand why things have developed to this point.

He was thinking about which political enemy had secretly made the move, or whether someone with whom he had a past grudge had come to seek revenge.

But they never imagined that this was just a coincidence.

Within the accidental lies the inevitable.

Spoiling a child is like killing him.

If Zhao Xingwu wasn't favored at home, why would he so easily resort to vicious methods to force the Lu family to hand over the sword manual?

If it weren't for the fact that someone had covered for every mistake he had made in the past... how could he have been so lawless and gotten into trouble with someone he couldn't afford to offend?

Some things, once you do them a lot, you get used to them.

As a father, Zhao Shilian did not think there was anything wrong with his son's actions.

You'd think he's still a child.

What's the big deal about making a small mistake?
However, for those who had been bullied by Zhao Xingwu, it was a disaster.

With no one to turn to for help, he could only suffer in silence until his death.

Unfortunate things happen from time to time.

However, this time it's the Zhao family's turn.

Lu Wubing was too lazy to say anything more to this incompetent official...

People's perceptions can differ drastically.

Some people will never understand what others are thinking.

They also don't want to understand.

The only thing to do is to let him be reincarnated sooner, so that in his next life he can understand the principle of putting others first.

"laugh……"

He slowly made way for the carriage through the path cleared by the constables, and then pierced Prefect Zhao's throat with his sword.

Watching the light in the other person's eyes completely extinguish.

My mind suddenly felt clear and enlightened.

A crane's cry rang in his mind, and he felt his spirit become clearer and his mind cleansed. The [Dripping Water Force] within his body also circulated more smoothly.

Even the pain in the meridians and bones of his right hand, which held the sword, was relieved somewhat.

'Spirit and internal energy, even the physical body, are all connected in some way; they do not exist in isolation…'

Lu Wubing seemed to have figured out a certain problem.

He also understood why he couldn't cultivate his own [Primordial Spirit Sword Manual]. It wasn't that just because you were willing to be a wicked person with no scruples, you could cultivate such an evil sword.

This sword technique doesn't cultivate essence or energy, but rather the soul.

When the soul deviates from its proper course and the mind becomes abnormal, it fundamentally alters a person. It can even cause the physical body to react negatively and eventually break down.

This is the true meaning of "Kind and righteous people should not practice this skill, for it devours souls and spirits, and all swords return to their origin."

According to ancient legends, even innate masters can only scratch the surface of the art of soul refining.

Only after one has cultivated to the level of a supreme grandmaster can one truly begin cultivation.

As a mere mortal martial artist below the Innate Realm, who hadn't even fully mastered internal energy cultivation, venturing into such a high-level field would surely lead to certain death.

"Woo..."

The thought had just flashed through my mind.

Lu Wubing felt a sudden pang of heart palpitation, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

A glimmer of light appeared in my eyes.

His mind remained unmoved; the sword transformed into lightning, boom...

Following a subtle, unseen connection, it pierced the bright light directly.

boom……

Lu Wubing staggered back five steps, a bloody spurt erupting from his right arm as the force of the energy had slightly torn his muscles.

Only now can I see it clearly.

What did I stab with my sword?

That was a feathered arrow.

The arrow was still covered with wisps of blood-red flame.

It dissipated upon landing.

"The Thunder God is coming! Run!"

Lu Wubing took the arrow head-on and was surprised to find that the constables had already fled.

Yes.

They did not resist when the prefect died before their eyes.

On the contrary, he is suspected of aiding and abetting the assassin to commit murder.

This crime is no less serious than his own as an assassin...

I'm afraid of being investigated.

Now that the prefect's brother-in-law has arrived, and this man is not one to be reasoned with, how can they not be afraid?

In particular, the other side also had at least a thousand city guards and soldiers with them.

"What is Lei Gong's cultivation level?"

Lu Wubing took a quick step and got close to the middle-aged constable with a bitter look on his face, running closely behind him.

【Pine and Crane Melody】Activate at full power to minimize one's presence and threat.

The middle-aged constable, who ran like lightning, replied casually, "This man is named Lei Hong. He is skilled with two golden hammers and is also quite good at archery."

With his external martial arts skills, he has already reached the third-grade Qi Realm, making his combat power extremely formidable.

Prefect Zhao has really gone all out on him, wasting countless amounts of silver every year.

Understood.

This brother-in-law of the prefect was personally groomed by Prefect Zhao.

Furthermore, he promoted the other party to the position of Commandant of Mingyang City, and he had more than a thousand infantry and cavalry under his command.

They are considered the standing troops of Mingyang City.

What does it mean to have one hand cover the sky?

That's what you call having absolute power.

He had complete control over the army, finances, and personnel.

Furthermore, he has a good reputation among officials.

No wonder he had a chance for promotion.

"Your Excellency..."

When Lei Hong arrived at the carriage, he saw that all the constables had run away.

With his eyes red, he gave the order.

"Zhang Yao, Li Mingcan, Tang Sande, you guys each take a group of men and divide them into three groups... surround Huichuntang, the Lu family, and Jinyutang. If there is any resistance, leave no one alive."

"Subordinates take orders."

The three fierce generals responded loudly and immediately led several detachments of troops, rushing towards the three locations.

I had already received news before I came and knew the cause of this sudden incident.

They also understood who the enemies were.

【Jin Yutang】is the closest, near the prefectural government office, and is located on the right.

Zhang Yao ran the fastest, leading three hundred elite soldiers to rush to Jin Yutang. Without hesitation, he roared, "Bows and crossbows are ready, listen to my command!"

What do you mean by "enclosed" or "surrounded"?
Ready-made credit and immense wealth are laid out before them...

Normally there's no excuse to plunder, but now that we can openly loot, why wait?
……

Asking for a monthly ticket.
