Trantor: 549690339
Bursting through the door was none other than Lu Yun, Xiao Chen, and Captain Wang.
“Hmm?” Upon seeing the trio, the ck Tiger Vige Chief’s heart was filled with surprise and suspicion. His thick, muscr hand immediately reached for the cold, flickering saber at his side.
The vige chief didn’t recognize Lu Yun and Xiao Chen, but he was well-acquainted with Captain Wang after several encounters in the past.
However, after a few moments, when only Xiao Chen, Lu Yun, and Captain Wang had entered the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness, and no one else followed, the vige chief’s tense heart gradually rxed.
To him, Captain Wang was just at thete stage of the Meridian Passage Realm, and his strength was still somewhat inferior to the chief’s. Moreover, this was his territory, not the county town where Captain Wang would have other Arresting Officers to assist him. Naturally, the vige chief wouldn’t take Captain Wang too seriously.
As for Lu Yun and Xiao Chen, he simply saw them as young kids who had not yet blossomed into full maturity.
“Captain Wang, long time no see. Why have you suddenlye to my ck Tiger Vige today?” The vige chief looked at Captain Wang, his tiger eyes ring angrily. His voice was unfriendly, but he didn’t attack right away.
Truth be told, Captain Wang’s sudden appearance caught him off guard.
Besides, the vige chief couldn’t figure out how Captain Wang had managed to infiltrate the vige undetected. Although the vige’s defenses had beenx, it hadn’t been easy to deal with the guards without raising any rm.
Furthermore, he didn’t know if anyone else hade with Captain Wang and that was part of the reason he didn’t make a move right away.
“That’s the ck Tiger Vige Chief, Song Xing. He’s been at thete stage of the Meridian Passage Realm for a long time and possesses incredible brute strength. Most people are no match for him!” Captain Wang whispered to Lu Yun and Xiao Chen,pletely ignoring the malicious gazes of the bandits in the hall.
“So it’s really Vige Chief Song. If only Advisor Wu was here too, then the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness would truly live up to its name.”
While speaking, Lu Yun walked step by step towards the ck Tiger Vige Chief, Song Xing.
Song Xing didn’t pay much attention to Lu Yun, who appeared to be an incredibly youthful boy. Instead, he focused on Lu Yun’s words.
“You know about Advisor Wu?” Song Xing looked at his own military advisor, who also appeared puzzled.
What did he and the vige chief have to do with whether or not the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness lived up to its name?
How did the other party guess that the ck Tiger Vige had a military advisor like him?
“Could it be that you have a strategist named Wu here? What a coincidence!” Lu Yun headed straight for Song Xing, the ck Tiger Vige Chief, a trace of suspicion flickering in his eyes. Yet, he didn’t stop walking.
“Stop there! Who do you think you are to offend our vige chief?” One of the bandits stood up and shouted loudly.
“Hmph!”
Lu Yun coldly snorted, his icy gazending on the bandit. Instantly, an overwhelming killing intent materialized.
The bandit wasn’t much stronger than an average person and obviously couldn’t withstand such killing intent. The color drained from his face as his body trembled uncontrobly and he copsed heavily onto the ground.
This scene rendered everyone in the hall speechless, including Song Xing, who had momentarily forgotten that Lu Yun was approaching him once more. “ng!”
The long saber on Lu Yun’s back was drawn in an instant and furiously hacked towards Song Xing’s head.
When Song Xing finally came to his senses, he saw the sharp de light shing towards him.
“Impudent!”
The rmed Song Xing immediately cast aside his earlier contempt, and almost as a reflex, grabbed the saber at his side and blocked the iing attack.
Lu Yun gripped the saber with both hands, channeling all of his strength into the hilt. At the same time, he activated his aggressive aura to its extreme and poured it all into the de.
Song Xing was a seasoned warrior with extensive battle experience and numerous life-and-death situations under his belt. Although the surprise attack shocked him, he didn’t panic. He immediately unleashed all of his True Qi.
Bang!
As the sabers collided, a shocking sound resonated while waves of powerful True Qi dispersed, causing the two men’s clothes to flutter wildly.
Upon going all out, Song Xing’s cultivation was revealed to be at the peak of the Meridian Passage Realm. In addition to his innate brute strength advantage, he managed to resist Lu Yun’s powerful strike despite being caught off guard. He was only forced to retreat rapidly, shattering the tiger skin chair behind him.
This unexpected turn of events left everyone in the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness momentarily stunned.
However, what happened next was even more surprising.
No, it would be more urate to say that some people didn’t even get the chance to be surprised.
At the same time Lu Yun made his move, Xiao Chen also sprang into action.
He was incredibly quick to draw his sword, and even faster when it came to swinging it. The de light swept through the air like a white ribbon, piercing the air and slicing through the stunned bandits, illuminating the dimly lit hall with a bright glow.
As the light vanished and the darkness returned, over a dozen bandits were left blind and copsed on the ground.
“Very well, very well!” The ck Tiger Vige Chief patted off the dust on his body and forced a few words out from between his clenched teeth. His tiger eyes red menacingly, ready to tear someone apart.
Lu Yun shook his slightly trembling arm and nced at the long saber in his hand, which now bore a visible dent. He shook his head slightly.
This long saber was what he had obtained from the Martial Academy. Although it wasn’t a top-quality weapon, it was still worth thirty Contribution Points, or at least several thousand taels of silver if it were exchanged for money.
But now, it had almost been destroyed after only a short time in his possession, which left him feeling rather depressed.
However, when his gaze fell on the ck Tiger Vige Chief’s saber, the shimmering cold light caught his attention.
What a fine specimen! A tiger-skin chair, a tiger-skin coat, and now a quality tiger-head broadsaber.
Immediately, the desire to kill and plunder rose in his heart.
“I’ve got my eye on your saber!”
Lu Yun roared as the saber in his hand received the bolstering of his aggressive aura. The de emitted a dazzling cold glint as he charged at the newly risen ck Tiger Vige Chief.
This time, he fully activated all eight of his meridians and churned all of the aggressive aura within his Dantian. The entirety of it was poured into the de, causing it to quiver uncontrobly.
“Hmph, a brat who hasn’t even grown all his hair yet and you want to snatch my de!”
The ck Tiger Vige Chief sneered, his arms bulging with muscle. His innate brute strength and his peak Meridian Passage Realm’s True Qi were both pushed to the limit, and he channeled everything into his broadsaber.
Crack!
The two sabers shed, and Lu Yun’s weapon suddenly split in half, leaving only the lower half of the de in his hand.
The powerful force and aggressive aura sent Song Xing, the ck Tiger Vige Chief, flying back. He collided with numerous fleeing bandits, scattering them in all directions as they cried out in pain.
The sudden breaking of the weapon left Lu Yun, who had been preparing to take advantage of the situation, momentarily stunned.
However, he quickly recovered.
Still gripping the broken hilt, he continued to swing the half-de at his enemy.
Although Song Xing had suffered severe internal injuries and was coughing up blood after being hit by the aggressive aura, his body instinctively shifted a little as he raised his saber to block the iing attack once more.
He was still a fraction too slow, and the half-de struck his waist, sending blood spraying everywhere.
“All, my waist!”
