Wandering Swordsman |

Liu Ming looked at Wang Ruoling, a glint of greed in his eyes, and replied, "After successfully extorting her, I remembered that Master Wang only has one precious daughter, and she is very beautiful. If I become his son-in-law, then after he dies, I can enjoy endless wealth and honor."

Upon hearing this, Master Wang angrily exclaimed, "Liu Ming, Liu Ming! Even if I let a beggar marry my daughter, I will absolutely not let you marry my daughter!!!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Ming's expression changed, but he dared not say anything more. He Yun and Shen Mo exchanged a glance, their resolve to bring Liu Ming to justice strengthened.

Just then, a servant rushed in, shouting, "Master, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

Master Wang asked in surprise, "Ah Fu, what's all the fuss about?"

The servant, panting, said, "Master, a dozen or so thugs have arrived outside and are fighting with the guards. Those men are all burly; I'm afraid the guards can't hold them off."

Upon hearing this, Master Wang's expression changed, and he immediately stood up and said to He Yun, "Young hero, come with me quickly to take a look."

He Yun, Shen Mo, and Zhao Xue quickly followed Master Wang, and the group hurried towards the mansion gate. In the darkness, on the open ground in front of the mansion gate, a dozen burly men dressed in black were fiercely fighting with the Wang family's servants. These men were all burly and imposing, wielding swords and knives, and their attacks were ferocious. The Wang family's servants were clearly at a disadvantage.

Upon hearing this, Master Wang's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Quickly, quickly inform all the guards in the manor to prepare their weapons, guard the gate, and at the same time send someone to fetch the constables from the yamen."

Hearing the angry shout outside the door, He Yun and Shen Mo immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. He Yun quickly turned around and said to Master Wang, "Master, we'll go help the guards at the door. You and Miss Wang should take cover for now." His tone was firm, and his eyes revealed an unwavering determination.

However, Master Wang shook his head and said firmly, "Young Master He, I understand your good intentions, but I must face this matter together with everyone."

Seeing her father's determination, Wang Ruoling, though frightened, stood firmly by his side and said, "Dad, if you want to go, then I'll go with you."

Seeing this, He Yun secretly admired the courage of the father and daughter, but was still worried about their safety. He turned to Master Wang and said, "Master, this is really too dangerous. You and Miss Ruoling should take shelter for a while."

But Master Wang insisted, "Young Master He, I have made my decision and I will not change it."

Seeing that his attempts to persuade Master Wang were futile, He Yun turned to Wang Ruoling and said gently, "Miss Ruoling, listen to me. You need to stay in a safe place so we can focus on protecting your father. Do you understand?"

Wang Ruoling bit her lip, but still refused to leave easily. Seeing this, Master Wang had no choice but to order his servants to forcibly take Wang Ruoling away. Wang Ruoling struggled, unwilling to leave with the servants.

Just then, Liu Ming, who was watching this scene, laughed arrogantly: "Hahaha, you can't escape! Luckily, I had arranged with my men beforehand that if I didn't leave the city within half an hour, they would storm the manor. Hahahaha, now untie me and kneel down to beg for mercy, it's not too late."

Liu Ming's words were full of threat and arrogance, as if he had already won. Upon hearing this, He Yun's eyes instantly turned sharp as knives. He strode towards Liu Ming, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly, as if he were about to tear Liu Ming to pieces at any moment.

"You despicable scoundrel, today is your death day!" He Yun's voice was deep and powerful, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.

Seeing that He Yun was really about to attack, Liu Ming trembled with fear and was about to apologize immediately. However, at this critical moment, more than a dozen burly men barged into the inner hall. Seeing that He Yun was about to attack Liu Ming, they immediately surrounded He Yun. They were all muscular and had fierce eyes, clearly well-trained experts.

Faced with this unexpected arrival, He Yun made a swift decision, his tone unwavering. "Brother Shen, you protect the master and the two young ladies. Leave these people to me."

Shen Mo nodded and immediately stood in front of Wang Yuanwai, forming a solid barrier.

He Yun remained calm, gripping his short sword tightly and assuming a defensive stance. He took a deep breath, preparing for this fierce battle.

"Come on, let's see what you're capable of!" He Yun's voice was full of confidence and challenge.

Seeing He Yun's composure, the burly men couldn't help but feel a little wary. But they were no pushovers either. After a brief standoff, one of them swung his knife at He Yun, who deftly dodged it and slashed at the man's wrist with a backhand strike. The man screamed in pain, and the knife fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of the situation, He Yun unleashed several attacks, forcing back the burly men around him. However, more burly men quickly filled the gap, surrounding He Yun even more tightly. Every movement of He Yun was full of power and speed; his blade flashed like lightning, and each swing forced back several opponents.

Just as He Yun was locked in fierce combat with the burly men, one of them quickly ran to Liu Ming's side, skillfully untied the ropes binding him, and released the pressure points that had been sealed. Liu Ming flexed his wrists, a sinister smile appearing on his face, as if he saw the dawn of victory.

"You bunch of useless trash, how could you keep me trapped for so long!" Liu Ming cursed under his breath, then turned his gaze to He Yun, who was still fighting desperately. He carefully observed He Yun's every move, looking for a flaw he could exploit.

Although surrounded by numerous burly men, He Yun maintained a certain advantage thanks to his superb martial arts skills and agile movements. Every strike he made was precise, and every dodge was perfectly timed. However, Liu Ming's arrival completely changed the course of the battle.

Liu Ming waited for the perfect moment, and finally, in the instant He Yun swung his knife and repelled several burly men, he saw his opportunity. Liu Ming quickly circled behind He Yun, a ferocious smile spreading across his face.

"Brother He, watch out behind you!" Shen Mo's shout suddenly came, but it was too late. He Yun heard the warning and immediately turned around, but it was too late to defend himself. Liu Ming's foot, like a sharp blade, kicked He Yun hard in the lower back.

He Yun staggered and fell heavily to the ground. Seeing this, the other burly men immediately seized the opportunity and swarmed him. They mercilessly punched and kicked He Yun. Although He Yun tried to fight back, he was powerless against such a dense attack. In the end, covered in wounds, he was pinned to the ground by the men, unable to move.
