Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 67 The City is Full of Mad Swordsmen

"Fuck me!"

Zhang Yao gave the order, but he didn't hear any shouts of battle behind him.

Feeling something was off, I turned to look.

All I saw was a sneer.

"Pfft..."

He felt a sharp pain in his back; his heart had been pierced.

The sword pierced through his chest, and a chill ran straight to his mind.

"you……"

Zhang Yao's body went limp, and he looked in disbelief at Teng Sanlang, the deputy captain who usually called him brother. He felt all his strength rapidly draining away.

"Chief Zhang, I forgot to tell you, my master [Dragon Subduing Sword], all my skills come from [Golden Jade Hall].

Zhang Yao's eyes widened on the spot, and he stopped breathing.

Do not look down.

"Brothers, can Jin Yutang be destroyed?"

"cannot……"

Behind him, a clamor arose, and pairs of eyes glared hatefully at Zhang, the head constable, who lay dead on the ground. If he hadn't already died, someone would surely have stepped forward and poked a few more holes in him.

Look at what he's done.

They actually wanted to rob the Shen family without saying a word.

It's really a dead end.

"So, how exactly did Chief Zhang die?" Teng Sanlang asked with a smile.

"The Mad Swordsman attacked, and we were unable to stop him in time. Zhang, the head constable, fought valiantly and died."

Several young men riding tall horses behind him answered with smiles.

"Then why are you all unharmed? Could it be that the Mad Swordsman showed mercy?"

Upon hearing this, several men behind him immediately drew their swords and stabbed the thickest parts of the body several times.

Despite wincing in pain, his smile remained unchanged.

Seeing this, seven or eight people in the crowd changed their expressions drastically and turned to run away.

They hadn't even taken two steps away.

He was stabbed to death by swords from behind.

These people were naturally Zhang Dutou's confidants.

He died as a matter of course.

After all, the Mad Swordsman is indeed insane.

Since he's already made his move, it wouldn't seem believable if he didn't kill a few more people.

At this point, Teng Sanlang nodded slightly, turned to look in another direction, and waited quietly.

He knew that Lei Hong, the city commander, was rough and reckless, used to bully others with his power, and often beat and scolded his soldiers, rarely showing them any kindness or loyalty.

These are not major problems.

The biggest problem is that this person often secluded himself for intensive training and was not patient with military affairs. Not to mention training formations, recruitment and training were all handled by his subordinates.

Therefore, Lei Hong would not know that, apart from a limited number of trusted confidants, everyone else in the city guard had received favors from Jin Yutang.
He had no idea what it meant that Jin Yutang had been rooted in the local area for decades.

……

Li Mingcan, the head constable, led three hundred men and charged headlong toward Huichuntang.

I just turned a corner of the long street.

Several dark figures emerged from the pavilion in the distance.

"Chichi..."

Arrows rained down.

Before he could react, seven or eight people around him had already fallen to the ground.

Li Mingcan was shocked. He fell off his horse and swung his long sword, creating a screen of light that deflected the arrows.

Bang!
A long arrow has already been shot, its tip emitting a three-inch burst of light.

"Fourth Rank..."

Li Mingcan watched helplessly as the arrow struck, futilely swinging his sword.

I only managed to sever one illusion, and my throat is slightly sore.

He was thrown backward and crashed heavily into a pool of blood.

"Retreat...retreat."

Several armored elite mounted soldiers behind him quickly turned their horses around and shouted, "The Mad Swordsman is too fierce. We can't stop him. We can't go to Huichun Hall. We should go back and report to the city commander."

……

'Alright, this is the Mad Swordsman's doing again. How come I didn't know I could split myself into several entities and simultaneously defeat multiple groups of people?'

Lu Wubing, who had been hiding to the side, activated the [Pine and Crane Technique] and concealed his presence, was speechless. He had indeed intended to ambush and kill him.

These troops included infantry and cavalry, but most of them were unmounted and did not move very fast.

He thought to himself that with his mobility, he could at least harass and assassinate the enemy, if not completely annihilate them.

Unless, of course, the Thunder God takes action himself.

I might not be able to defeat them.

After all, that person's external martial arts skills had reached the point of perfect mastery of the five internal organs, generating internal energy.

Reaching the third rank of external martial arts in one step would make him a first-rate master in the martial arts world.

However, no matter how much he couldn't defeat him, he could still stop him and let his parents and family escape to Jinyutang.

Ever since he witnessed his Uncle Shen Liancheng making a move in secret, he had developed a great deal of trust in him.

As long as Jin Yutang doesn't fall, nothing will happen to my parents.

Moreover, the master's wife has gone to the city.

When the time comes, she will not stand idly by.

There's really nothing to worry about.

Aside from his monkey-faced identity, which is hard to explain, everything is fine.

If this identity is revealed, it might be difficult to explain his swordsmanship skills.

After mentally rehearsing all the changes, Lu Wubing realized before he even took any action that he didn't need to do anything further.

City Commandant Lei Hong may have learned from the lesson of the previous prefect's death.

This time, he only sent his men to carry out the operation, while he himself led a group of troops to the Zhao residence.

Lu Wubing actually understood his thoughts.

Clearly, they were guarding against another counterattack.

Brother-in-law Zhao Shilian was stabbed to death in the street.

The Zhao family suffered heavy casualties, including the deaths of two nephews, with only the elder sister, Zhao Lei, still alive.

If the Mad Swordsman decides to go all the way and return to fight again, things will get really interesting.

Therefore, this person may look rough and rugged, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's brainless.

He still knows what's most important.

What truly surprised Lu Wubing was...

Three armies, defeated in bizarre and unusual ways...

The same rout occurred, and the same deaths of the commander and some higher-ranking officers followed.

The rest of the people, surprisingly, all gathered under the command of the deputy captain.

No one seemed sad; in fact, some people even had a hint of joy in their eyes.

"Jin Yutang is quite generous; I underestimated this Uncle Shen."

Not only me, but I estimate that all the forces in Mingyang City underestimated him.

Without realizing it, they had sidelined the city guards...

Just how many of Jin Yutang's disciples did he have planted in the army?

If Lu Wubing still doesn't understand what happened after seeing this, then he's really slow to react.

He even noticed that the previous attackers, whether they used knives, swords, guns, or spears, all bore the mark of the Thirteen Deadly Swords of the Heavenly Star Sect.

Each school and sect of martial arts and swordsmanship has its own unique characteristics, with subtle differences in the way power is generated and the angle of attack.

If you're truly observant and have a keen eye, you can still tell.

'A house full of gold and jade, wealth can move even the gods… Uncle Shen's name is indeed well-chosen.'

Thinking of Shen Liancheng, a name destined to bring him great wealth, Lu Wubing suddenly had an idea.

Therefore, the nickname "Dragon-Subduing Sword" is somewhat unlucky.

Aren't you worried about incurring the wrath of the imperial court?

The emperor was called the True Dragon.

Now that he's been subdued, won't he be unhappy?

The thought only crossed Lu Wubing's mind briefly before he stopped thinking about it and paid no more attention to the city guards who had made a fool of themselves.

He knew that Uncle Shen must have made all the arrangements.

Now that he has decided to launch a full-scale attack, the good days for City Commander Lei Hong are probably numbered.

Now that the prefect is dead, the situation has changed drastically... Regardless of Lei Hong's perverse actions and his dying struggle, he was killed on the spot by Shen Liancheng.

He remained hidden, swallowing his anger, until the newly appointed prefect of the imperial court stripped him of his post and left him idle.

The final outcome was already predetermined.
