Chapter 20: The Bane of Small Towns

  Heavenly Venerable Sovereign

  "Dad, I'm going with you!" Wang Hu exclaimed excitedly.

  When leaving Heishi Town, even those former companions were far away from him, which made Wang Hu also resentful. Thinking of those "traitors" kneeling in front of him begging for mercy, Wang Hu was so excited that his face turned red.

  "These past few days, did you think I've done nothing? I've spent half of my family's fortune, planning a grand scheme! If it weren't for revenge, with our family's savings, how could we live in such a broken place?" Wang Lang coldly laughed and said, "The people of Blackstone Town, since they dare to betray me, must pay the price in blood!"

  "The day of revenge is tomorrow! Tiger Boy, at that time we father and son will go together to see what kind of ending those ungrateful people will get!"

  "Yes, father!" Wang Hu shouted loudly, a hint of cruel smile also appeared on his slightly chubby face...

  ……

  In the vast forest, a small figure was speeding by, and with just one leap, it covered several feet. In the rugged and difficult-to-traverse mountain wilderness, it moved as if on flat ground.

  This figure was Lin Feng. Compared to when he entered the mountain, his appearance seemed not to have changed much, but as a whole person, he had a completely different temperament!

  When entering the mountain, Lin Feng was just a half-grown child. But now, after experiencing and fighting fiercely with ferocious beasts, his body also showed a hint of murderous aura.

  His eyes were still bright, but they seemed extremely sharp, and the whole person looked like a long sword out of its scabbard, with cold light shining in all directions!

  This place was originally a region where fierce beasts roamed, but with Lin Feng's arrival, it became as quiet as death!

  Fierce beasts have an instinctive fear of danger, and now Lin Feng is clearly a person who inspires that fear!

  Today Lin Feng returned, he is going back to Heishi Town to fetch some grain, and also help his father bring two jars of good wine.

  Thinking of Old Zhao from the small wine shop, Lin Feng's face also broke into a faint smile.

  The people in the small town, only Zhao Shu's family made him feel warm.

  The whole town of Hei Shi, only Zhao Shu remembered the kindness of the Lin family. He never cold-shouldered or mocked the father and son of the Lin family, and every time Lin Feng went to buy wine for his father, he refused to accept payment.

  Lin Feng had never been short of money for Uncle Zhao's wine, but that one sentence was enough to make Lin Feng feel warmth in his heart!

  "When I achieve success in the future, I must repay Uncle Zhao well!" Lin Feng thought to himself.

  ……

  On the mountain ridge several li outside of Heishi Town.

  A fine horse appeared at the top of the mountain ridge, with a tall man on its back.

  A burly man wore a suit of heavy armor, with a huge scar on his face that was shocking at first glance. He held a thick-backed saber several feet long in his hand, which glinted coldly in the autumn sun.

  One after another, war horses appeared on the mountain ridge, with knights in disheveled armor, each holding a thick and heavy battle knife.

  Such a war knife weighs dozens of pounds, but in the hands of a knight, it is as light as nothing.

  It's clear that these knights have at least the strength of a second-rank Tiger Fist, or they wouldn't be able to accomplish this.

  "Wang Lang, are you sure you want to do this?" The scar-faced man pointed his battle knife at the not-so-distant Black Stone Town and said in a low tone.

  "Han Dachang, Wang Mou has exhausted his family's wealth to ask his brothers to take action, just to vent the evil air in his chest, and I hope that Han Dachang will fulfill it!" Another horse slowly climbed up the mountain ridge, and the middle-aged man on the horseback said with a hateful tone.

  Han Da, the head of the house, smiled coldly: "Taking someone's money and goods to help them get rid of their troubles, since I, Han Meng, have taken your belongings, I will naturally take action for you. Moreover, this time we've plundered all the wealth that belongs to us, such a good thing, why not be happy about it?"

  After finishing speaking, Han Meng's war knife knocked against the stirrup, and he smiled lightly: "In these years, there have been many people asking me to take action, but like you, wanting to slaughter your own countrymen, I've never seen before! Wang Lang, you're really ruthless!"

  Wang Lang remained silent, gazing at the small town below the mountain, his eyes filled with a cold and ruthless look.

  "Alright, little ones! Get to work!" Han Meng smiled coldly and shouted in a low voice, "Drive!"

  Over a hundred light cavalrymen galloped down the mountain slope, charging towards the small town at the foot of the mountain!

  These war horses were not wearing armor, and they were also at a high vantage point, but their charging speed was far inferior to the running speed of the heavy cavalry in black armor. However, after all, it was only a few miles away, and under full gallop, they soon arrived outside Heishi Town.

  Heishi Town had no walls, only a circle of tall hardwood fences with sharpened tops, which was the entirety of Heishi Town's defenses. Over a hundred light cavalry came flying in, and the people of Heishi Town hadn't even reacted yet when the mountain bandits had already charged into the main street!

  "Kill!" Han Meng let out a loud shout, his battle knife flashing like snowflakes, cutting in half a passerby on the side of the road. The other knights were also wielding their knives, recklessly slaughtering anyone they saw.

  The men of Heishi Town, although they also had several hundred pounds of strength, how could they be the opponents of these desperate fugitives? Unprepared, the pedestrians on the street were quickly slaughtered!

  "Mountain bandit!"

  "It's a mountain bandit!"

  It wasn't until then that people reacted, many men picked up their own weapons and shouted as they rushed out of the house. Many others took out bows and arrows, climbed to the top of the house and shot cold arrows at the mountain bandits.

  However, the men who rushed out of the door were instantly surrounded and killed, while the cold arrows shot out were mostly easily cut off by the mountain bandits with their war knives!

  The men of Heishi Town, even the second heaviest Tiger Form Fist, there are only a few, most of them are just the first heavy Tiger Form Fist cultivation. Such strength, how can they be the opponents of fully armed mountain bandits?

  Swords flash, blood splatters!

  The men who dared to resist were soon killed, and the cold arrows falling from the rooftops were sparse. The remaining people were all at home, frightened and terrified.

  The mountain bandits did not continue their slaughter but stood in the streets instead.

  Among the mountain bandits, one of them suddenly took off the bamboo hat on his head.

  "Mayor!"

  "It's the mayor!"

  The people of Heishi Town also recognized the man's identity in an instant. The man with a battle knife still dripping with blood was none other than Wang Lang, the town mayor who had been expelled from Heishi Town just a few days ago!

  "Wang Lang! You actually colluded with the mountain bandits and brought disaster to our Black Stone Town! Have you fed your conscience to the dogs?" A robust man standing on the veranda, holding a bow and arrow, thundered.

  "Conscience? The most conscienceless are you people!" Wang Lang sneered cruelly and shouted loudly, "Since Lin Heng returned to Blackstone Town, which one of you didn't want to drive him away? I drove out the Lin father and son for your sake! I lost my position as town head because of this matter, but you people still gloated over my misfortune and turned around to curry favor with Lin Heng's stinky feet! Your conscience is the one that has been eaten by dogs!"

  "Each and every one of you has betrayed me! Betrayal comes with a price! Today, all of you will die, every single one of you will die!"

  "Wang Lang, you dare! Brother Lin Heng is back and won't let you off!" On the balcony of the small wine shop, Zhao Dahong drew his bow and shot an arrow at Wang Lang with all his might.

  Wang Lang swung his sword and shot a long arrow, looking at Zhao Dahong and saying: "Old Zhao, it turns out that you are indeed innocent. In the entire Heishi Town, only you are not a treacherous person! However, unfortunately, today's matter cannot be leaked out. Therefore, today, you will also die!"

  "Prefect, we were wrong! Please forgive us and spare our lives!" Suddenly someone knelt down with a thud and begged loudly to Wang Lang for mercy.

  "Town head, please spare us!" Several others followed suit and knelt down to beg for mercy.

  "Prefect, considering I've followed you for many years through thick and thin..."

  "Town head, we are all fellow villagers, why must you be so ruthless?"

  "That's enough!" Wang Lang's face was stern and fierce, his battle knife swung out as he shouted, "Cut the grass and eliminate the roots, not a single one will be left!"

  Over a hundred bandits dismounted, with more than ten people guarding the town gate, and the rest followed Han Meng into the town's residences, killing wildly.

  Mercy is useless, the people of Blackstone Town roared in their final resistance, but the disparity in strength was too great, and there was almost no effect. The dense sound of men's angry roars and women's wails echoed throughout the town, and a thick bloody atmosphere spread over the town...

  ……

  In the mountains and fields, the maple trees were speeding rapidly towards the direction of Heishi Town.

  "Huh?" Lin Feng's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he stopped in his tracks.

  In the air, a bloody aura was faintly transmitted, and there was also a hint of smoke and fire.

  And this breath comes from the direction of Heishi Town!
