65 A Bloody Conflict
A few days later, Peace Town was in a mess. Many unfamiliar faces swarmed into the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest in an endless stream.
“Li Yong, the superior of Zhang Zhushi, has also returned from the front lines. I heard that he’s also a first-class martial artist!”
“Those big, burly men are from Qinglin Village in the north.”
In the slightly lonely bar, Ah Fei was conveying information to the few customers who had visited. Most of the herb gatherers had been arrested, and the business of Old Jiang’s shabby bar had also taken a dive.
“The news has leaked out quite quickly.”
Jiang Ming was sitting in the corner, drinking light wine and eating a small snack from time to time. Now that he was the gentle and unassuming Yu Asheng, his eating habits had naturally changed.
However, Jiang Ming was surprised that the Green Mountain Army also sent people to fight for the King of Medicine.
“The battle at the front is difficult, and the Green Mountain Army has not attacked Jiangnan City yet. They still have the mind to send a first-class martial artist back. It seems like this King of Medicine is quite extraordinary.”
There was more and more news about the King of Medicine these days. Jiang Ming also heard a lot of rumors that this thing seemed to be very useful for Dao Masters.
Jiang Ming had some speculations. Could it be that the Green Mountain Army wanted to use the King of Medicine to create a powerful fighter?
Or did a Dao Master, who had reached a bottleneck, want to become a Grandmaster with the King of Medicine?
“The only Grandmaster in the Green Mountain Army is Lord Cangshan. If another one appears…” Jiang Ming shook his head. “Let the old emperor worry about this kind of thing.”
Speaking of which. he did not know if the old emperor still had the desire to seek immortality.
After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, Jiang Ming walked out of the bar and was ready to leave.
On the street, a sudden commotion broke out. Two groups of people clashed in the middle of the street. Both sides drew their swords, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Many of the villagers of Peace Town quickly hid on both sides of the street. Jiang Ming was also pushed to the wall by the crowd and watched this scene.
In the past few days, there were more and more people in the town, and there were many conflicts that broke out, and there were even people who often died.
But today, Jiang Ming saw a familiar face.
One of the groups was the Shi family, led by Shi Quannian, who had investigated the Qinghe Tower murder case. He was a well-known second-class martial artist.
On the other side, there was a group of people he had never seen before. A few young men and women with extraordinary auras were protected by a group of martial artists in the center. They were looking at the Shi family casually.
“Young Master Liang.” Shi Quannian’s eyes were filled with fear as he looked at the young man opposite him and warned, “You are not in the capital now. I advise you not to mess around!”
“People from the capital?” Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows. At this delicate moment, he dared come from the capital to the territory of the Green Mountain Army to snatch things. These people’s backgrounds were probably not simple.
He wondered how Shi Quannian had offended these people.
Opposite Shi Quannian, the young man sneered, “Messing around? Are you hinting at those idiots from the Green Mountain Army? You thought they could protect you?”
Shi Quannian’s face was dark, but he did not reply. He was indeed relying on the Green Mountain Army, and he did not believe that the Liang family would dare touch him in the territory of the Green Mountain Army.
“Do you think the Green Mountain Army would dare offend the Liang family? Without our capital’s aristocratic families, they’re nothing.”
Young Master Liang laughed, then his face suddenly turned cold, “Stupid fool, the Liang family’s dog had the audacity to join the Green Mountain Army and betray the Liang family. Beat him up!”
Half of the guards in front of Young Master Liang instantly rushed up. Each of them had a vicious expression on their face as they attacked the Shi family members without a word.
“He should be someone from a big family,” Jiang Ming looked at these well-trained guards and thought to himself. His body quietly retreated to a more inconspicuous corner.
“F*ck! Kill him!” Shi Quannian was shocked, but he was also enraged as he roared.
Everyone from the Shi family rushed out, and the two sides collided fiercely. Blood spurted out in an instant, accompanied by miserable screams.
Not long after, the ground was covered with corpses, most of which were from the Shi family.
Shi Quannian gripped the blade in his hand and did not make a move just now. But now, he could not hold it in any longer and charged forward with a long howl.
“I’ll cut you down!”
Since there was no way to negotiate, he could only use his blade to speak!
The long blade in his hand was as fast as lightning, and he killed two or three guards in the blink of an eye.
The other guards quickly stood in front of Young Master Liang to protect him. Young Master Liang shouted with disdain, “Move!”
He took out a long blade from the waist of a guard beside him and blocked Shi Quannian’s blade. His body did not move an inch.
“You haven’t mastered this technique,” Young Master Liang sneered.
Shi Quannian was shocked. Even the Shi family’s new genius, Shi Junwei, could not have blocked his blade so easily. Young Master Liang was a few years younger than Shi Junwei. Therefore, how could he have such profound skills?
Young Master Liang’s lips twitched, and he knew what Shi Quannian was thinking. He flicked his blade and sent Shi Quannian’s blade flying.
“Let me teach you the Wave-Swallowing Saber Technique!” Young Master Liang’s eyes turned cold. He raised his blade and charged at Shi Quannian.
Shi Quannian was in a difficult position and soon revealed an opening. The blade grazed his waist, and a half-foot-long wound was immediately opened up, blood flowing out.
The body of a second-class martial artist was as fragile as a piece of paper under this technique.
“Dammit!” Shi Quannian’s forehead was full of sweat. Just as he thought he was going to die here, Young Master Liang’s figure retreated like a ghost.
Young Master Liang put the long blade back and stood there with his hands behind his back as if nothing had happened.
Shi Quannian, on the other hand, relaxed, and his legs gave way as he fell to the ground, his entire body soaked in sweat.
“I’ll teach you a small lesson today. But your family will remember this debt, you will have to settle it,” Young Master Liang said lightly, and then he strolled past the pile of corpses with a few of his guards, leaving in a carefree manner.
His main purpose here was to get the King of Medicine, so he did not want to cause any more trouble. Killing a few guards would not be a problem, and the Shi family would not dare touch him.
However, if he killed a second-class martial artist of the Shi family, it might bring him unnecessary trouble and affect his plan to find the King of Medicine.
The surviving members of the Shi family hurried over to help Shi Quannian.
“I’m not going into the mountains today. Go back and treat my injuries!” Shi Quannian said in a hoarse voice.
The crowd hurriedly found a piece of cloth to stop the bleeding for Shi Quannian, then they held him and walked toward the Shi family branch.
“Phew. I’ve dodged a bullet today!” Shi Quannian endured the pain and heaved a sigh of relief. “I have to hurry back to Great Cloud City and report this to the master.”
However, just as he relaxed his mind, a figure on the side of the street tripped in a pit and staggered to his side.
