Chapter 377 Shock
Han Yue, despite his injuries, charged toward the other Wang family warriors. With his arrival, the Wang family warriors quickly fell like harvested straw, and not a single one of them remained standing.
"call!"
Han Jin let out a long breath. Today's battle was the longest and most intense fight he had ever experienced. He fought his way from the North Gate to the Wang family's main residence, encountering no fewer than four seventh-rank martial artists. This inevitably left him feeling exhausted.
Fortunately, everyone on our side had put on armor before setting off. Armor provides strong protection in battle, so only a few of our side were injured and no one died.
The other members of the Zheng family and the martial artists from the Suiyue Martial Arts School also breathed a sigh of relief. The battle was full of twists and turns. When Wang Changsheng appeared, they almost thought that their side was doomed to defeat.
Fortunately, they have powerful support!
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the little beast that had jumped back onto Chen Dao's shoulder and settled down, their expressions filled with shock!
Wang Changsheng, a peak fifth-rank expert, severely injured the prefect and Master Han in a single exchange, demonstrating his unparalleled strength.
However, the incredibly powerful Wang Changsheng was killed on the spot by this seemingly harmless little beast. Even more terrifying, this little beast could breathe fire...
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but feel awe and no longer dared to underestimate Xiao Yuan. Instead, they secretly regarded it as a divine beast!
"Ok?"
Zheng Qing, who had just killed three Wang family elders with a single spear thrust, suddenly focused his gaze. He saw a large amount of firelight ahead, followed by a group of Wang family retainers in full armor appearing in his line of sight.
Returning with his retinue, Wang Yu stared at the corpses strewn across the ground, his eyes bloodshot with rage: "Father, clan elders!!!"
Wang Yu's pupils trembled, completely unable to believe the scene unfolding before his eyes. His father and his clansmen were all lying on the ground, their breaths completely cut off!
"Ahhh!"
Wang Yu roared madly, his eyes blazing with murderous intent: "Soldiers, kill them!"
"promise!"
Hundreds of Wang's retainers responded in unison. Then, wielding long swords, they raised their blades and formed a military formation, slowly pressing down on Zheng Qing and his men like a mountain.
As they watched the Wang family troops slowly approaching, Han Jin and the others looked solemn. After fighting for so long, many of them were exhausted. It would probably not be easy to deal with these hundreds of Wang family troops!
"Humph!"
Zheng Qing snorted coldly and hurled the spear in his right hand!
"call out!"
The spear transformed into a streak of light, rushing straight towards the Wang family's troops on the opposite side.
"Pfft!"
The sharp spearhead pierced the abdomen of the foremost royal retainer, and then, undeterred, the spear continued its flight, passing through the retainer's body before continuing forward.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
After passing through five royal troops, the spear completely lost its momentum and came to a stop.
This scene terrified the royal family's retainers!
Looking at their five colleagues, whose bodies were pierced by spears like skewers of candied hawthorns, they were all horrified.
A long spear was thrown out, piercing through the bodies of five people in succession. What terrifying force this was.
At this moment, many of the retainers stopped in their tracks. As retainers of the royal family, they were certainly not lacking in courage, but they were by no means unafraid of death.
Zheng Qing's attack shattered their courage and instilled fear in them!
"What are you doing? Kill them!"
Wang Yu roared behind his men, but they looked at each other, hesitant to move forward.
That attack was truly terrifying; they simply didn't have the courage to face it again.
"I am Zheng Qing, the prefect of Taicang County!"
Zheng Qing removed his helmet and shouted, "Wang Wenshu has harmed the people and committed heinous crimes. Now that Wang Wenshu has been executed, why don't you surrender immediately?"
"The patriarch is dead?"
"Is that man the prefect?"
Should we surrender?
"..."
Upon hearing Zheng Qing's words, the Wang family's retainers showed signs of struggle. As retainers of the Wang family, they were loyal enough to the Wang family, but that did not mean they would oppose the imperial court for the sake of the Wang family, much less that they were willing to rebel!
If Wang Wenshu were still alive, as the clan leader, he could have forcibly ordered them to take action against Zheng Qing, an official appointed by the imperial court. However, Wang Wenshu is now dead, and the prestige of Wang Yu, the eldest son of the Wang family, is simply not enough to make them make the decision to rebel!
"I am Han Yue from the Shattered Mountain Martial Arts School!"
Han Yue also walked to stand shoulder to shoulder with Zheng Qing and shouted, "The chief villain of the Wang family has been executed. If you resist stubbornly, you will surely die! Only by surrendering can you save yourselves!"
After saying that, Han Yue suddenly raised his voice a few decibels: "Now, lay down your weapons, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
The others on his side also shouted along with Han Yue. The combined voices of more than a dozen people instilled a sense of fear in the hundreds of royal retainers on the other side.
"Damn bastard!"
Seeing that his own troops had not made a move, Wang Yu's expression hardened, and he directly slashed out with his sword, killing one of the Wang family's troops.
He stomped the head of the group under his foot, his face contorted with rage, and roared, "No one is allowed to surrender! Kill them all!"
"grass!"
A member of the Wang family who lived near Wang Yu was accidentally sprayed with blood in his face. He was initially afraid, but then he was filled with rage.
"Damn it, the Wang family doesn't treat us like human beings at all, I'll kill you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the scimitar slashed towards Wang Yu.
The other royal retainers were also furious upon seeing this.
The comrade Wang Yu killed was someone they trained and ate and lived with. Seeing Wang Yu kill him, they couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow.
"Damn it, we risked our lives for the Wang family, and in the end we're still killed by them! Brothers, let's rebel against the Wang family!"
"They've rebelled!"
"kill!"
"..."
Enraged, the Wang family retainers instantly turned and attacked Wang Yu.
Wang Yu was horrified to see this. He never imagined that these lowly bastards who worked for the Wang family would dare to turn around and attack their master.
"court death!"
Wang Yu slashed out with his sword, and the immense power of a seventh-grade martial artist instantly deflected the incoming blade. Immediately afterward, Wang Yu beheaded one of the attacking henchmen with a single blow.
however……
He was not facing just one of the royal retainers; soon, a large number of retainers surrounded him and hacked him to death on the ground.
"Humph!"
One of the henchmen kicked Wang Yu's corpse hard, his eyes wide open, and spat out a curse. Then he threw away his blade, knelt down on both knees facing Zheng Qing, and said, "Prefect Zheng, we are willing to surrender. Please spare our lives!"
