Battle for Northern Frontier: The game begins with the grassland woman buying him.

Lin Yu'er trembled with fear, clutching Su Zhan's clothes tightly, her face deathly pale: "Husband..."

"Don't be afraid, stay close to me!" Su Zhan's voice was unusually calm. He shielded Lin Yuer behind him against the wall, while he faced the five thugs.

Su Zhan's sharp eyes swept over his opponent, and he slowly unsheathed the broadsword at his waist and handed it to Lin Yuer.

"What an arrogant brat, not even using a knife." A man with a scar on his face grinned maliciously and swung his short stick down on his head.

Instead of retreating, Su Zhan advanced. Just as the short stick was about to fall, he slid to the left like a ghost, narrowly avoiding the blow. At the same time, he reached out with his right hand and grabbed the opponent's wrist holding the stick with lightning speed. Using his waist and abdomen, he turned around quickly and, taking advantage of the opponent's forward momentum, executed a clean and neat over-the-shoulder throw.

"Bang!"

The scarred man felt dizzy as the world spun around him, and he was lifted up by a tremendous force and slammed to the ground like a broken sack.

The short stick slipped from his hand and flew far away. He was completely disoriented, as if his internal organs had shifted. He rolled on the ground, groaning in pain, and couldn't get up for a while.

Su Zhan's movements hadn't stopped when two other people pounced on him almost simultaneously. One of them wielded a dagger and stabbed Su Zhan in the ribs, while the other threw a punch at Su Zhan's face. The situation was extremely critical.

A cold glint flashed in Su Zhan's eyes, and his left hand, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, precisely grasped the wrist of the dagger that was thrust at him and twisted it forcefully.

"Crack!" A chilling sound of bone breaking rang out as the thug's wrist bent in a bizarre position, and the dagger clattered to the ground.

At the same time, Su Zhan's right hand struck first, his five fingers pressed together like an iron cone, and stabbed the thug who was throwing a punch in the ribs with extremely fast speed.

"Ugh!" The thug was hit hard in the ribs, and felt half of his body go numb instantly. His fist went limp and powerless, and he hunched over in pain.

Su Zhan then delivered a knee strike to the man's abdomen, causing him to groan, clutch his stomach, and collapse to his knees, nearly vomiting bile.

In the blink of an eye, three of the five men were gone!

The remaining two, including the cross-eyed one, were dumbfounded.

The seemingly ordinary young man in front of me was like a ferocious beast when he got into a fight. His moves were ruthless, clean, and efficient, and every strike hit the most vital spot. Yet, he didn't actually kill him.

The precision strike that renders someone instantly defenseless is truly terrifying.

A flicker of panic crossed his cross-eyed eyes, but it was quickly replaced by ferocity. This was his territory; how could he back down? If he backed down, how could he remain the boss? How could he lead these little brats so freely?

"Attack him together, kill him! He's almost out of strength!" Cross-eyed roared as he and his last henchman pounced on him.

This time, the two learned their lesson and instead of going to their deaths one by one, they attacked from the left and right to prevent being defeated by Su Zhan one by one.

Su Zhan wasn't afraid at all. Instead of advancing, he retreated and faced his henchman on the left. Just as the henchman threw a punch, Su Zhan suddenly ducked and unleashed a powerful sweeping leg kick.

The thug lost his balance and was swept off his feet, falling face-first into the mud. His front teeth hit the stone slab, and his mouth was instantly filled with blood.

At the same time, a ruthless glint flashed in the cross-eyed man's eyes. He had somehow produced a dagger in his hand, and taking advantage of the moment when Su Zhan's center of gravity shifted as he swept his leg, he stabbed Su Zhan hard in the back.

This was extremely ruthless and could have killed Su Zhan.

"Husband, watch out behind you!" Lin Yu'er exclaimed in alarm.

Upon hearing Lin Yuer's reminder, Su Zhan's sweeping leg landed almost immediately, and his body twisted violently to the right like a spring. The cross-eyed dagger barely grazed Su Zhan's clothes as it pierced through the air!

Before the cross-eyed man could stop, Su Zhan's left fist, like a cannonball, slammed into the cross-eyed man's right cheek with a whistling sound as it tore through the air.

"Bang!" A muffled sound echoed in the alley. The cross-eyed man felt an irresistible force strike him. His mind went blank, stars flashed before his eyes, half of his face swelled up immediately, and his body staggered uncontrollably to the side for several steps before finally collapsing to the ground with a thud.

He mumbled something incoherently, but only spat out two bloody teeth and a mouthful of bloody foam. Half of his face swelled up into a pig's head at a visible speed.

From the outbreak of the conflict to everyone falling to the ground and groaning in pain, only a dozen or so breaths had passed.

Only painful groans and gasps could be heard in the narrow alley, while Su Zhan stood up straight, his breathing still steady.

Just now, with a bit of force, the wound on his shoulder burst open again, and blood soaked through half of his body.

Lin Yuer was so frightened that she quickly tore off her clothes and used them to tie Su Zhan's shoulders, while Su Zhan patted her hand.

"Let's get out of here first."

The two men went deeper into the alley, leaving the thugs rolling on the ground behind.

After a long while, the group of thugs helped each other to their feet, their cross-eyed expressions slurred.

"Damn it, find out who they are! I'm going to kill them!"

Two thugs ran away immediately upon hearing the noise, and the remaining few staggered away from the alley.

At this moment, Su Zhan and Lin Yuer had already left the alley. Once they were out of the dark alley, the path in front of them was relatively peaceful.

Su Zhan didn't take the fight to heart. They were just a few thugs, nothing special. He'd beaten them up, so what? In the past, Su Zhan would have killed them. Today, he was showing mercy.

Afterwards, the two arrived at Tongfu Inn, which Lin Yuer and her brother had agreed to meet.

When Su Zhan and Lin Yuer stood at the entrance of the inn, Su Zhan looked around and found that the inn was really too small. It only had one entrance, and the inside was dark and you couldn't see anything.

The two then went inside. Once inside, Su Zhan only saw a low counter and a waiter dozing off behind it, his head propped up with his hand.

"Waiter, a room, please!"

The waiter was startled by Su Zhan's words, and his face instantly lit up with a smile.

As for the blood on Su Zhan's body and the blood-soaked clothes, the waiter ignored them.

Disputes frequently occur in this place, and injuries are commonplace.

The waiter pretended not to see what he saw, because he wouldn't ask questions he shouldn't.

"Oh! Sir, would you like to stay in the dormitory-style room on the first floor, or a private room on the second floor?"

"A private room on the second floor!"

"Okay!"

Su Zhan paid the money, and then, together with Lin Yuer, they went upstairs led by the waiter.

This small inn is very similar to the inns in the Great Wu Empire. The first floor is a large dormitory, and a night's stay costs only a few copper coins, but it is very crowded and chaotic. At night, someone might steal your silver bag.

The prices on the second floor are much higher, but the environment isn't much better; after all, it's just an ordinary little inn.

However, the second floor has the advantage of being quiet and private, giving guests their own privacy.

The waiter booked a room for the two of them, brought hot water, and told them that they could come to him on the first floor if they needed anything, before checking out.

As soon as the waiter left, Lin Yuer couldn't wait to go out. A moment later, footsteps could be heard outside the door.

When the door opened again, Lin Qingshan and Lin Yuer appeared before Su Zhan.
