Fellow students escape with their lives

  The main gate of the Caixia County Town's Medicine Pavilion was broken through by a joint attack of the nine major gangs and numerous smaller gangs from Pingzhou, with thousands of people rushing in and setting fires that lit up the sky. Countless figures wielding blades danced in the flames, chasing down and killing the disciples of the Medicine Pavilion.

  "Kill them all! Wipe out every last one of Medicine King Gang's scum!"

  "Don't let them get away, hurry!"

  The Medicine King Gang's branch hall, the Herbalism Hall, in Zhujici County was completely destroyed. Including the leader Li Hong and the head of the Herbalism Hall, Li Dashanren, almost all high-ranking members were killed at Yongfu Building. The main force of the Medicine King Gang in the county was also nearly wiped out by the other nine major gangs.

  When disaster strikes, everyone flees for themselves; now no one can take care of anyone else.

  The pharmacists of the Medicine Hall saw that things were not going well and fled one after another with their soft packages, and the disciples naturally did not want to wait for death in the Medicine Hall. Although they may never have figured out why the big and small gangs of Pingzhou would unite to destroy the Medicine King Gang until their deaths. However, when disaster strikes, escaping with their lives is the most important thing.

  Yang Yicheng, Qian Ruoxiu, Sun Ying and Feng Xiao, four fellow disciples, looked frightened and had just sneaked out of a secluded dog hole in the courtyard of the mansion and onto the nearby streets.

  But after Feng Xiao crawled out of the dog hole, a large burlap sack he was carrying with him got stuck in the dog hole.

  Yang Yicheng saw Feng Xiao still dragging his bundle, and was almost anxious to death. He hastily turned around to pull Feng Xiao, "Old Third, your life is almost gone, what do you want these riches for? Quickly throw them away, escaping with your life is the priority!"

  Feng Xiao's face turned red with exertion, and he shook off Yang Yicheng's hand. He pulled hard on the bundle, trying to pull it out of the dog hole. "You know what's inside? It's all the valuables I picked up in the chaos - gold, silver, and utensils worth a lot of money. Enough for me to live comfortably for half my life! Can't just focus on escaping now, need money to survive later too!"

  The cries of killing in the mansion were getting closer and closer.

  "Haha, there are two little girls from the Medicine King Gang over there, hurry up and catch them, let our brothers have some fun!" A group of dozens of big men with knives and swords in their hands discovered them from a distance on the street, immediately shouting excitedly and rushing towards them. Behind them, even more people were wildly running after.

  Qian Ruoxiu's face suddenly turned pale at Sun Ying's words.

  Feng Xiao finally managed to pull his precious package out of the dog hole and carried it on his back.

  "Go!"

  Yang Yicheng roared in anger, grabbing a large knife from who-knows-where and shielding Qian Ruoxiu, Sun Ying, and Feng Xiao as they fled towards the sparsely populated alleys. Feng Xiao was carrying a rather heavy package on his back, but his agility was exceptional, and he still ran at the forefront of the four.

  Behind them, dozens of big men were getting closer and closer in pursuit. The strange cries that rose and fell one after another made Qian Ruoxiu and Sun Ying's legs tremble with fear. Sun Ying was so frightened that she fell to the ground with a thud and burst into loud crying.

  Qian Ruoxiu saw Sun Ying fall down and was about to be caught by these evil people, her face turned pale with grief and anger, she let out a loud cry, turned around and rushed back.

  "A Xiu, quickly help A Ying walk!"

  Yang Yicheng was greatly alarmed, and with a swift turn of his body, he swung his knife to chop down an evil ruffian who was about to grab Sun Ying. He desperately resisted the crowd that surged forward from behind. However, how could one person possibly resist the chaotic slashing and killing of so many big men? After chopping down one person, all he could do was close his eyes and wait for death.

  Dozens of feet away, a black shadow suddenly disappeared from the ground and appeared beside Yang Yicheng, Sun Ying, Qian Ruoxiu and others in an instant.

  A faint, blurry sword light, like a wisp of smoke, floated through the crowd, followed by splattering blood. More than a dozen burly men within ten steps of Yang Yicheng and Sun Ying almost simultaneously clutched their throats, which had been slashed open, and fell to the ground.

  A man in black with a conical hat finally came to a standstill, standing still on the spot, his sword dripping with thick blood drop by drop.

  No one saw how he appeared, no one saw how he killed people, all that could be seen was the dead bodies on the ground. This terrifying scene made the Han people behind him suddenly stop in their tracks.

  "What, what kind of swordsmanship is this?"

  "This man in black, is probably at least a master of the highest level with his agility and speed!"

  "Let those two little girls be enjoyed by others, our lives are more important."

  The crowd of Han people felt fear in their hearts, looked at each other nervously, gripped their knives and swords tightly, and retreated hastily. Although they had dozens of people, they were all second- or third-rate goods, absolutely not enough for a top-notch master to chop.

  Later, more people surged forward, with at least over a hundred in number.

  "Brothers of the Five Tigers Broken Blade Society up ahead, what's going on? Hurry up and chase down those people from the Medicine King Gang!"

  A senior member of the top ten gangs, as a top-notch master, with great momentum, brought a large group of gang members to the front. He obviously hadn't seen the situation clearly and stood at the forefront, loudly giving orders in an arrogant tone.

  The man in black let out a cold laugh, and for an instant, a chill flashed through his eyes. Suddenly, his figure vanished from where he stood. When he reappeared, he was standing behind the elder like a ghost, slowly retracting the bloody sword in his hand.

  Which of the top ten gangs this elder belonged to was something Ye Qin didn't have the energy to care about.

  The old man swallowed hard, but found he couldn't swallow. He touched his neck with his hand, blood, a bullet hole, gurgling out a large amount of bloody bubbles, and fell to the ground with a thud.

  "Oh no, a ghost!"

  "Run away quickly!"

  In an instant, the hundreds of Jianghu heroes present let out a terrified cry, their souls fleeing in terror, and they scrambled to flee as fast as possible. They had seen it clearly - a distance of over ten zhang was covered in the blink of an eye. That wasn't human movement at all; it was a ghost, a monster, or a deity - anything but a person.

  Hundreds of gang members scattered, leaving behind more than a dozen corpses. The street and alley suddenly became empty, with only the lingering smell of blood remaining.

  Yang, Feng, Qian and Sun were both shocked and delighted. They had been rescued by this mysterious black-clad man in front of them, and for the time being, they no longer had to worry about their lives. However, at the same time, they felt a little uneasy, not knowing who this black-clad man was or what he would do with them.

  Ye Qin killed the person and silently wiped the blood off his sword on a corpse.

  In times of chaos, human life is truly worthless.

  He shook his head slightly, his hoarse voice said indifferently: "The Medicine King Gang is already the public enemy of all gangs in Pingzhou, it's better to get rid of them. You few change the green shirts of the medicine hall into plain clothes of the county town, and after dawn, go to a remote place in the countryside to avoid the wind for a year or two, and there should be no problem." After finishing speaking, he took his sword and left.

  Sun Ying didn't know what was wrong with her, but as she looked at him, she suddenly burst into tears and said, "Second Shixiong, is that you?"

  Ye Qin's figure slightly paused, and without looking back, he flew away swiftly.

  Everyone says that women's feelings are particularly sensitive, and he didn't expect Sun Ying to recognize him after his disguise. The brotherly affection of the four people who had been collecting medicine together for many years would be remembered in his heart. However, he was very clear that his future path of cultivation would inevitably lead to little interaction with the four of them again. They might spend their entire lives in this Zhujicounty city, but he would leave here. The fate of the five brothers would also come to an end.

  Yang Yicheng was stunned. This murderous and tyrannical black-clad man, is actually the second brother? When did the second brother become so cold-blooded and ruthless, killing people without batting an eye?

  Feng Xiao clutched his bundle tightly, stunned. Second Brother's strength... seemed a bit terrifying.

  Qian Ruoxiu's expression was complex, muttering to herself, and no one could hear what she said.

  After Ye Qin left, Yang Yicheng, Feng Xiao and Qian Ruoxiu were stunned for a while before pulling the grieving Sun Ying away from the bloody scene. The four of them jumped over the wall and took refuge in a nearby civilian house, hastily changed their clothes, and hid inside to avoid being pursued by other gangs.
