From breaking the limits of archery to achieving martial arts godhood

Chapter 87 Sun Zheng and Sun Yuan

"Big brother, you have to stand up for me!"

One of the Seven Swordsmen, who had just been taught a lesson by Chen Xun, was crying to a young man.

The young man bore a striking resemblance to this person, bearing about five or six points of similarity.

This person's name is Sun Zheng, and the young man's name is Sun Yuan.

"Tell me, what trouble have you gotten into this time?"

Upon seeing his good-for-nothing younger brother, Sun Yuan frowned and spoke impatiently.

"Big brother, this time it wasn't me who caused trouble; it was someone else who bullied our Seven Swords Gang."

Then, Sun Zheng embellished the story and recounted the whole incident.

After listening, Sun Yuan's expression turned slightly serious.

"A martial artist with strength around the Silver Bone Realm?"

Based on Sun Zheng's description, Sun Yuan roughly deduced Chen Xun's strength.

This level of strength is considered quite good within the Seven Swords Gang.

"I understand what happened, and I will handle it."

"You can leave now."

Subsequently, Sun Yuan directly asked him to leave.

Sun Zheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing his elder brother's impatient expression, he could only leave dejectedly.

Seeing Sun Zheng leave, Sun Yuan called over one of his underlings.

"Greetings, Master."

Upon seeing Sun Yuan, the younger brother immediately bowed.

In the Seven Swords Sect, one needs to have the strength of the Blood Exchange Realm to become the leader.

The leader is already a high-ranking member of the gang; above him are the three hall masters, the gang leader and deputy leader.

"What business does the leader have summoned me for?"

"There's something I need you to do."

After a pause, Sun Yuan continued, "My younger brother, Sun Zheng, was harassed and injured by a martial artist who appeared to be at the Silver Bone Realm while carrying out a mission for the gang."

"I want you to investigate this person's background and address, understand?"

"Understood, Master."

The younger brother nodded, then took his leave.

After handing the matter over to his subordinates, Sun Yuan stopped paying much attention to this trivial matter.

As the leader of the gang, he had many more important things to do.

After leaving his brother Sun Yuan, Sun Zheng was filled with resentment and frustration.

He then invited a few of his cronies to go to the Drunken Flower Pavilion for drinks.

This Drunken Flower Pavilion is a mid-to-low-end brothel where customers can have women accompany them while they drink.

If the price is agreed upon, you can go upstairs to a hotel room and spend a night together.

There are no famous courtesans here who only sell their art; as long as you can afford the price, all the women in the building can serve you alone.

Inside a private room at the Drunken Flower Pavilion, Sun Zheng and his group of five were each holding a girl.

"Grandpa, have a drink."

The woman in their arms giggled as she fed them wine.

"Good wine, this wine is quite soft."

The men talked about good wine, but their hands were already reaching into the women's arms.

"You scoundrel, are you talking about alcohol?!"

"Of course it's alcohol, what else could it be?"

The sounds of men and women flirting filled the room.

"Young Master, are you in a bad mood today?"

One of Sun Zheng's henchmen saw that Sun Zheng was drinking continuously and not flirting with the woman next to him, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Little Master Sun" is a respectful title for Sun Zheng.

"The real Master Sun" is the respectful title given to Sun Yuan by the members of the Seven Swords Gang.

Because Sun Zheng is Sun Yuan's younger brother, the character "小" (xiao, meaning younger) was added before his name.

Of course, without Sun Yuan, Sun Zheng would only deserve to be called Little Sun.

"Little Liu, if I had to say, you understand me best."

"I know I'm in a bad mood today."

"Look at these three bastards, all they know is how to play around with women."

When Xiao Liu asked him this question, Sun Zheng's negative emotions immediately erupted, and he started cursing at the other three.

These three men were opportunists; upon seeing this, they immediately apologized with trepidation, even pushing the women they were embracing to the side.

This action immediately dispelled most of Sun Zheng's dissatisfaction.

"Young Master Sun, who upset you? Tell us, and my brothers and I will take care of him for you."

One of the lackeys patted his chest and said to Sun Zheng.

The others were not to be outdone, each seemingly transforming into a chivalrous hero, thumping their chests louder than the last.

Anyone with eyes can see that these people are not sincere at all.

Sun Zheng, however, fell for this act. He slammed his hand on the table and began to explain the whole story to the others.

After listening, the group exchanged glances, and then, one after another, they began to belittle Chen Xun, whom they had never met, to the point of being utterly despicable.

After this belittling, there was nothing that could be done to Chen Xun, but Sun Zheng felt much better, and his smile became noticeably more frequent.

Seeing this, the group began to toast Sun Zheng.

It was as if they had already won the victory.

Just as the atmosphere in the room reached a climax, a figure suddenly burst in through the window.

The instant they burst in, a dazzling flash of blade light appeared.

After the flash of the blade disappeared, a figure appeared on the table.

Immediately afterwards, the women's piercing screams rang out.

Someone died.

All that could be seen were the bodies of Sun Zheng and the other four men, their heads severed, clearly dead beyond any doubt.

The man who killed them glanced at the screaming women and then left through the window again.

Not long after, the guards from Zuihualou entered the room. Upon seeing the corpses and blood in the room, their expressions immediately changed, and they immediately sent someone to report to the authorities.

After a while, the person who went to report to the authorities brought back two yamen runners on duty.

At the same time, Sun Yuan of the Seven Swords Gang also received the news and rushed over.

"Who is it?"

"Who killed my brother?"

Sun Yuan was furious and roared.

Then a somewhat sarcastic voice rang out: "Chief Sun, stop shouting, it's disturbing the peace."

"Who is it?"

Sun Yuan looked over with his bloodshot eyes.

Then they saw two officials from the government office, one middle-aged and one young.

The young man who spoke looked at Sun Yuan with a mocking gaze.

"It's you."

"You actually managed to infiltrate the government office?"

Sun Yuan suppressed his anger and squinted at the young man; there was clearly a grudge between the two.

"That's right, it's all thanks to you."

The young man's tone at this moment was also quite resentful.

"Alright, Xiao Luo, we can talk about your grudges later. We're here to investigate a case."

Another middle-aged yamen runner suddenly interjected.

"Yes, Chief Liu."

The young man named Xiao Luo immediately fell silent, but his eyes remained fixed on Sun Yuan.

"Chief Sun, was your brother among the dead?"

Liu then looked at Sun Yuan and asked in a businesslike manner.

"good."

Sun Yuan replied through gritted teeth.

"Do you know who your brother's enemies are?"

Liu continued to press for answers.

Upon hearing this, Sun Yuan's expression froze. Speaking of Sun Zheng's enemies, there were quite a few, and he didn't even know them all.

Before he could say anything, the head guard of the Drunken Flower Pavilion suddenly spoke up: "My lords, I just received a report from my men that the ladies in the room at the time all saw the murderer's face."

"real?"

Two voices rang out.

A moment of doubt, a moment of surprise.

Liu was the one who had suspicions. He was somewhat skeptical that the murderer would deliberately break in through the window to kill someone and still be able to show his face.

To everyone's surprise, it was Sun Yuan.

With a clear image of the murderer, even if the authorities are ineffective, he can still mobilize his own resources to arrest the culprit and avenge his brother.

"It's true."

The guard leader nodded quickly.

Then he had his men bring over the women who were trembling with fear.

"Have you all seen the killer?"

Liu asked again, as if to confirm.

The women nodded quickly.

"Alright, Xiao Luo, take them back to the yamen and have an artist draw the murderer's likeness."

"clear."

Xiao Luo quickly agreed.

Afterwards, Liu Tou and Xiao Luo led several witnesses back to the yamen.

Sun Yuan took his younger brother's body back with him.

The crowd that had gathered at Zuihualou to watch the spectacle quickly dispersed.
