Although this world is very chaotic, the kind of thing that happened in Tuzhuang, which enraged both heaven and man, has not occurred within the borders of Yicheng for a long time.

  Yuan Lan, the mother beside him, exclaimed: "Fang Ge, is Tie Shan Gang so crazy? Dont they know that doing this will provoke the anger of many villages in Yicheng? And what about Hei Mu Zhuang... there are several daughters-in-law from Hei Mu Zhuang in our clan."

  "Hmm, so, our clan is also in a mess now." Teng Yongfan frowned and said, "But what can we do about it?"

  "This Iron Mountain Gang is too brutal." Teng Qing Shan also felt a surge of anger, the massacre at Tu Village was truly inhumane.

  Hong Yongfan said, "No way, as far as we know, the three leaders of Tieshan Gang are all former notorious internal energy experts who roamed the nine states! Each one is ruthless and cruel. I estimate that slaughtering Hei Mu Village was also a warning to other villages. This is killing a chicken to scare the monkeys!"

  Hong Qingshan nodded.

  Simply for a sum of silver, there was no need to massacre the village; clearly it was done to intimidate other villages.

  "Dad, mom, brother, will that gang come here?" Qing Yu said with some worry.

  "What Im most worried about now is..." Teng Yongfan said anxiously, "This Iron Mountain Gang will probably come to our Teng Family Village. To be exact... they will definitely come, they will definitely come to collect the silver. The question is... when will they come!"

  "This point cannot be unprepared." Teng Qing Shan nodded, this is related to the survival of the clan, cant be careless. After a moments thought, Teng Qing Shan said, "Dad, I think... from tomorrow on, the hunting team will go out, and Qing Hu will lead it. With Qing Hus current strength, there shouldnt be any problems in the big mountain either. And me, during this period of time, I wont enter the mountain to practice bitterly, just stay in the village, to prevent any unexpected events!"

  Hong Yongfan nodded: "I think so too, but this is only one aspect. There are many other things that need to be changed. For example, those who practice the Tiger Fist within the clan should now move to the martial arts arena. Be prepared to resist any potential enemies at all times."

  Normally practicing Huquan is done in that forest.

  It takes some time to run from the forest to the martial arts arena.

  "If the Tiěshān gangs demand for silver is not too high, we can take a step back and it wont be a big deal. If they really ask for too much, theres nothing we can do... Well have no choice but to resist." Teng Yongfan said.

  "Hmm." Teng Qing Shan had already made up his mind.

  If a real crisis occurs, then there is no need to hide ones strength and directly start killing. For Tan Qing Shan... the most precious relatives in this life, father, mother, sister, and many elders who took care of him are all within the clan. The clan is his root, and also the root of his loved ones. He vowed to protect Tan Family Village with his life.

  "Things havent gotten that bad yet." Teng Yongfan also felt the topic was heavy, and smiled, "Our Teng Family Village is much stronger than Hei Mu Village. The Tie Shan Gang will also know how to make a choice."

  Tengjiazhuang is indeed much stronger than Heimuzhuang.

  In the past four years, there have been more than thirty people from our tribe who have successfully cultivated internal energy. Of course, hundreds of people from our tribe have practiced Tiger Boxing, but only a few dozen have managed to cultivate internal energy, and the proportion is indeed low. However, each of those who have cultivated internal energy possesses an astonishing destructive power.

  "Tieshan gang thinks were as easy to bully as Hei Mu Village, theyre wrong." Teng Qing Shan said with a smile, but in his heart, he was secretly plotting.

  At critical moments, Teng Qing Shan never hesitated.

  ……

  The news of Hei Mu Village being slaughtered spread quickly. The entire Deng Jia Village soon knew about it. Deng Jia Village also became a place where the wind and birds were frightened, and the good men in the clan trained one by one in the martial arts field. Even if they werent in the martial arts field, they stayed at home. Few people left the village.

  Only thirty-odd people from the hunting team occasionally go out to hunt.

  The number one master within the clan, Teng Qing Shan, also stayed in the village and did not enter the mountain. The entire Teng Village was fully prepared to face the enemy.

  In this chaotic world, if you want to protect your family, you can only rely on yourself.

  ******

  On the martial arts arena, it was bustling with noise.

  "Cheers!"

  "Hah!"

  People of the tribe were either practicing shooting or practicing tiger boxing, and some people were lifting stone locks, rolling iron balls, and carrying water buckets to temper their strength. Various traditional training methods passed down among the people, although simple, are also very effective. In times of crisis, the peoples training became even more intense.

  Women are busy with many trivial matters such as farming, washing clothes, cooking and taking care of children.

  Strong men need only hard work; only weak men bother with trivial matters like women.

  "Second daughter, dont cry." Three women were washing clothes and chatting together, one of them had red eyes.

  "My brother was killed, killed by those Iron Mountain gangsters." The woman said, tears streaming down her face. "My brother was the most obedient one, when he was little, he liked to sleep with me. He loved eating the pancakes I made." She sobbed as she spoke, "But, hes just dead like that."

  Other women also had red eyes.

  "Second daughter, your maternal familys big Li Village is fine, just a few people died. The Iron Mountain Gang took the silver and left. But Hei Mu Village was slaughtered. My husbands third brothers wife, her parents, younger brother and sister, all dead. Alas..." Those women sighed.

  "Its better to marry into our Tan family village."

  "Hmm, Teng Family Village, after all, is a notorious village within dozens of miles."

  "In my hometown, I have a niece named Fanglan. Shes very pretty and I think of introducing her to the young men in our village of Chenjiazhuang."

  These women talked to each other, in this era, which village was strong and not bullied. And the men of this village were also easy to find women. After all, parents also had to consider their children, sending them to a strong village, eating well, dressing warmly, and not being bullied, this was already a good life in their dreams.

  "That Iron Mountain gang has been to many villages already, dont know when theyll come to ours."

  "Get out of here, you bunch of good-for-nothings, I never want to see your faces again."

  Amidst the whispers.

  The earth suddenly shook.

  "The sound of horseshoes!" Almost everyone in the martial arts arena turned their heads to look outside the Zhuangzi gate. The White Horse Gang collects annual fees, and the commotion caused by the horseshoes was already familiar to everyone. This loud vibration was clearly caused by horseshoes. But... this time, it wasnt the White Horse Gang that came!

  Today did not go hunting, but in the martial arts arena, Teng Qinghu and a group of peoples faces changed greatly.

  This is a cavalry corps. With just one glance of the eye, its impossible to see the end of this horse team. Obviously... this corps has numerous men and horses.

  "Its Tiěshān Bāng!"

  A shrill cry rang out!

  "Haha……the young masters of Teng Family Village!" A loud laughter, like thunder, only to see the dense cavalry troops in front, a strong and muscular bald man wearing a back armor, riding a majestic red horse with eight feet high, which is the famous Red Fire Horse from Da Zheng State, worth one thousand taels of white silver.

  On this crimson horse saddle, two huge crimson bronze big round hammers were also set up, and on the hammer, there were small sharp cones.

  According to a rough estimate, each of these reddish-brown large iron balls weighs over 100 catties.

  The bald and robust man suddenly flew up from the Red Fire Horse, lightly floating like a goose feather. At the same time, he held up the two red copper hammers in his hands, with an iron chain about one zhang (3.33 meters) long connecting the two hammers. The bald man burst out laughing and swung his left hands big copper hammer violently, shouting "Open!" The big iron hammer flashed across the sky like a shooting star, producing a sharp and piercing whistling sound in the air, and crashed onto the gate of Teng Family Manor with a loud bang.

  "Boom!"

  The entire gate shook violently and then burst open with a loud crash, sending shattered thick wooden planks flying everywhere.

  Then the bald strong man retracted his copper hammer and fell from mid-air, but the red fire horse was quite intelligent and ran over, allowing the bald strong man to land on its back once again.

  "How is this possible?" Teng Qinghu and others took a deep breath, staring at the shattered door in shock.

  The gate of the clan, made from some hard giant trees on Mount Da Yan, was so sturdy that even a dozen strong men couldnt open it by ramming it with wooden stakes. The cavalry leader under the salt merchant of Yangzhou had used his clever strength to split the iron door hinges. But this bald-headed strong man directly rammed the gate.

  "To open the door wide, without a force of ten thousand kilograms, it is impossible." This was a sentence that Teng Yunlong had said before.

  At this moment, all the tribesmen were completely stunned.

  Could it be...

  This bald-headed strongman possesses strength of ten thousand kilograms?

  "Humming~~~" A large number of horse bandits, under the leadership of this bald-headed leader, rushed into the martial arts arena like a gust of wind.

  "Get out of here." The bandits burst into laughter and began to slash at the Teng clan members in the training hall with their sabers.
