Eternal Immortal Dynasty: Starting as a Petty Official

Chapter 127 Leave No One Alive (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

"shoot!"

At a command, several arrows whistled out.

Immediately, more than ten feet away, two or three figures fell to the ground.

"Phew!" Zhao Xian let out a long sigh, putting down the thunder-patterned golden silk war bow in his hand. The crimson light in his eyes gradually faded. "The overall situation is settled."

'

"Zhang Gong, you can hunt him down as you please!"

"I will obey Lord Zhao's command!"

Behind them, Zhang Gong and his squad of archers responded in unison. Looking down at the bandits who were fleeing in panic like headless flies, a hint of excitement appeared on their faces.

Zhao Xian, on the other hand, looked down at the Daoist people who had formed a battle formation and were fighting the bandits.

"The fighting has been going on for several dozen breaths, and the formation is still fairly orderly. If they can train for a few months, they will definitely be able to achieve perfect uniformity and reach an even higher level!"

After observing for a few moments, Zhao Xian couldn't help but ponder to himself.

"Unfortunately, we lack the financial resources to support even a few dozen people!"

With a sigh, Zhao Xianfu looked down at Zhao Hong, Huang Zhong, and the other three who were fighting.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of cold light pierced the sky and clashed with the ring-pommel sword in the bandit's hand!

"Snap!"

The two swords clashed, and with a crisp sound, the bandit's ring-pommel sword snapped in two!

"cut!"

The ring-pommel sword continued its momentum, slashing heavily at the bandit's neck!

"Sizzle!"

With a powerful horizontal slash, the ring-pommel sword instantly cleaved the bandit in two!

In the blink of an eye, blood and internal organs gushed out all over the ground.

Zhao Hong flicked the blood off his knife and continued lunging forward!

"die!"

The blond-haired boy beside him also brandished his spear, deflected his opponent's ring-pommel sword, and thrust forward fiercely!

The gun tip emerged from the bandit's back, and the bandit could only glare hatefully at the blond-haired boy before collapsing to the ground.

On the other side, the brothers Zhao Duan and Zhao Bing also worked together to knock their opponent's weapon away and kill him.

"It wasn't for nothing that I instructed them in martial arts every few days; now, among third-rate martial artists, the four of them are considered quite skilled!"

Zhao Xian nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the front line of the battle, where several figures were already entangled in combat.

"With two Bone Refinement martial artists and those two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from before, this group of dozens of bandits is truly formidable!"

Looking down at the battle below, Zhao Xian pondered to himself.

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound, sparks flew, and a deep cut appeared on the gleaming armor.

"kill!"

With a roar, the armored warrior seemed completely oblivious and continued to charge forward, brandishing his sword.

Seeing this, the black-clad warrior opposite also showed a hint of helplessness on his face.

Although the armored warrior opposite him was not weak in martial arts, he could only be considered a good second-rate martial artist, far inferior to himself, a first-rate martial artist.

But it was precisely because of the iron armor he was wearing that he was able to fight me to a standstill!

"Damn it!" the black-clad warrior cursed under his breath, already considering retreating.

The two envoys sent by the emperor are already dead, so why should I stay here and fight to the death?

Once those two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators on the other side are free to attack, he won't be able to escape even if he wants to!

Upon realizing this, the black-clad warrior immediately glanced around discreetly, and his attack with the ring-bladed sword naturally weakened by three points.

On the other side, four second-rate martial artists, Zhao Cheng, Zhao Ji, Zhang Wen, and Wang Cong, were also surrounding a black-clad warrior and locked in a fierce battle.

Chen Yuancheng usually gave the four of them a lot of guidance, and their strength was naturally considered quite good among second-rate martial artists.

Even with the four of them working together, they were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle with the black-clad warrior.

As for Chen Yuancheng and Xu Dekun, after killing the two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, they did not continue to attack, but instead cautiously surveyed the surrounding valley.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Zhao Xian let out a soft exclamation, and a smile appeared on his face as he looked at the black-clad warrior fighting with the armored warrior.

"Trying to escape?"

"Have you asked Zhao?"

With a light laugh, Zhao Xian drew another arrow, nocked it, and aimed at the black-clad warrior!

The moment the arrowhead aimed at the black-clad warrior, a warning immediately struck him, and cold sweat poured down his back, sending chills down his spine.

"Whoosh!"

With a sudden whooshing sound, a streak of cold light shot towards them!

In a flash, the black-clad warrior had no time to think and swung his sword forward with a fierce slash!

"Ding!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and then an arrow fell to the ground!

"Whoosh!"

Before the black-clad warrior could feel any joy, he caught a glimpse of a cold glint in the corner of his eye as it came again!

"No!"

In the face of life and death, a powerful force suddenly erupted from the black-clad warrior's body, causing him to abruptly shift to the side!

But he narrowly avoided the second arrow!

"Pfft!"

The sound of an arrow piercing flesh was heard, followed by a piercing pain. An arrow had pierced his calf perfectly!

"Thanks, Ah Xian!"

Upon seeing this, the armored warrior was overjoyed, roared, and charged forward with his sword once more!

Zhao Li was confident he could defeat a top-notch martial artist with an injured leg!

Meanwhile, the black-clad warriors who were locked in combat with Zhao Cheng and his group felt a chill run down their spines upon seeing this!

With such a sharpshooter on the other side, how can we possibly fight?

Upon realizing this, the black-clad warrior's face hardened with determination. He immediately deflected the ring-shaped sword in front of him with a single slash, then turned and fled into the depths of the valley!

"Ah Xian!"

Upon seeing this, Zhao Ji immediately roared in anger!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

In an instant, several arrows pierced the air and arrived!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

With three muffled thuds, the black-clad warrior rushed forward several steps, then suddenly collapsed to the ground, lifeless!

"Only by fighting to the death in the face of battle can one have a glimmer of hope!"

Seeing this scene from afar, Zhao Xian couldn't help but sigh.

If you were in the valley being attacked, the only way to break the deadlock would be to kill all the soldiers in front of you!

"kill!"

With a roar, Zhao Li lunged forward, while the black-clad warrior opposite him revealed a look of madness as he slashed at Zhao Li's neck with his ring-blade!

"Sizzle!"

Suddenly, Zhao Li's body swelled up, and the black-clad warrior's ring blade continued its trajectory, slamming heavily into Zhao Xian's shoulder armor.

"May you rest in peace!"

Zhao Li let out a low cry as the tip of his ring-bladed sword pierced through the back of the black-clad warrior, spurting out drops of blood.

"Kill the traitors!"

Zhao Cheng, Huang Zhong, Zhao Hong, and the others roared and charged towards the remaining bandits!

"I'm not playing anymore!"

One of the bandits stared in terror at Zhao Hong and his men, who looked like wolves and tigers, and threw down his weapon, shouting loudly.

But what awaited him was a blade gleaming with a cold light!

In the blink of an eye, the bandit had been cut down and was lying on the ground.

The people of Zhudao firmly remembered Zhao Xian's previous order: leave no survivors!

This matter is of utmost importance; whether or not to spare any lives is no longer of any concern!

Once the credit for suppressing the bandits is reported to the county government, those who should know will naturally find out!

Seeing that Zhao Hong and his men were ignoring everything and just attacking, the remaining bandits immediately collapsed, abandoned their weapons, and scattered and fled.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow whistled past Zhao Xian, and a fleeing bandit fell to the ground more than ten feet away.

"good!"

Zhao Xian immediately smiled and praised him.

"Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Zhao!"

Upon hearing this, the archer behind him immediately replied with a smile.

A moment later, apart from Zhao Xian and his group, there were no other survivors in the valley.

"Zhao Li, Xu Hua, immediately take stock of the casualties!"

Zhao Xian looked around the valley and immediately shouted.

"Yes, sir!"

The two bowed respectfully and agreed in unison.

"Zhang Gong, Mu Chun, you two lead the men to clean up the battlefield!"

"Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Gong and Mu Chun immediately responded loudly.

"Chen Jun, Xu Jun!"

Chen Yuancheng and Xu Dekun, who were in the distance, also walked over. Zhao Xian immediately jumped down from the rocks to meet them.

"The missing spirit rice is all inside that cave, piled up very neatly, but the carriage is the only thing missing!"

Chen Yuancheng looked at Zhao Xian and said solemnly.

"Lord Chen, eliminating the bandits and retrieving the sacred rice is enough. What do other matters have to do with us?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xian chuckled and said with a smile.

"It seems Yuan Cheng is too attached to appearances!"

Upon hearing Zhao Xian's words, Chen Yuancheng slapped his forehead and said with a smile.

"Bozhang, this is the thief's storage bag!"

Xu Dekun, who was standing to the side, looked at Zhao Xian and handed him a storage bag.

"That Qi Refining cultivator was killed by Xu Jun; how can Zhao Xian steal Xu Jun's spoils!"

Upon seeing this, Zhao Xian immediately refused with a serious expression.

"Haha, Bozhang, you've misunderstood. I've already taken everything from the storage bag; I'm only giving you this empty bag!"

"In that case, Zhao Xian thanks you for your kindness!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xian immediately took the storage bag and said with a smile.

"Without Bo Zhang's help, that thief would surely have escaped!"

"This storage bag of mine also belongs to Bo Zhang!"

A smile appeared on Chen Yuancheng's lips as he handed Zhao Xian a storage bag.

Zhao Xian didn't stand on ceremony and directly took the storage bag and stuffed it into his sleeve.

In just a few months, Zhao Xian already had three storage bags!

Before long, the battlefield had been cleaned up.

"Ah Xian, only five Daoist practitioners were injured; the rest are unharmed!"

Zhao Li also walked up to Zhao Xian and the other two and reported to Zhao Xian.

"Zhao Jun, forty-six heads were taken, and four low-grade ring-pommel swords, three iron-framed bows, and more than forty other swords, spears, and flexible bows were seized!"

Zhang Gong, who was standing nearby, also stepped forward to report at the opportune moment.

"More than four thousand talisman coins were also found during the search!"

Zhao Hong also walked over and chimed in.

"The seized talisman money will be distributed among the injured and the uninjured, two hundred coins each. Ah Hong, you distribute them now!"

"Uncle, immediately set up a pot and cook a meal; there's plenty of spirit rice!" Zhao Xian immediately took out dozens of kilograms of spirit rice from his storage bag and handed it to Zhao Li. Finally, he looked at Zhang Gong, "Ah Gong, clean up the battlefield thoroughly one last time, leaving not a single arrow behind!"

"Yes, sir!"

Zhao Li, Zhang Gong, and Zhao Hong all agreed and then turned to leave.

"Bozhang, isn't it a bit inappropriate to cook right here?"

After the three left, Xu Dekun immediately asked in confusion.

"Do not worry, this place is the safest place available right now!"

Zhao Xian chuckled and explained.

"After we've had a good meal and regained our strength, we'll send someone back to Shahe Township to fetch reinforcements!"

"We can't possibly carry over 20,000 catties of spirit rice back on foot!"
