The First Sage of Military Strategists

Chapter 48 Melee!

"stop!"

Sun Xiao led Han Qing and more than 20 others at high speed and stopped at an intersection near the Chen family's old house.

"As instructed by the squad leader, your task is to guard this street corner and not allow anyone to pass through," Sun Xiao said, turning his head.

"Yes," the crowd replied, but most looked confused, unsure of what to do.

Ma Er seemed lost in thought, while Han Qing was the only one who knew the truth.

He squinted and looked into the distance. There was a high wall in front of him, and behind the wall, there was a pavilion, but there was no light at all, which gave people a sense of gloom and terror.

Ahead of them, another small team was also stationed, presumably tasked with intercepting people escaping from the house and preventing them from fleeing in this direction.

"My master was still worried about my safety, so he placed me in the location furthest away from the Chen family's old residence, and even arranged for the expert Sun Xiao to be there," Han Qingxin said.

He glanced around and noticed that his teammates were quite remarkable as well. For example, Li Tai was well-known in the city. Next to Li Tai stood a tall man, as tall as two Ma Er, carrying a thick, round jujube wood stick on his shoulder, with a simple and honest smile on his face.

Such a person is considered to have outstanding natural talent, like a little giant, possessing innate superhuman strength. Even if their martial arts level is not high, their combat power is still astonishing.

"Han Qing, you should know why we're here, right? Share your ideas with your brothers. If things turn out well, I'll just run away later."

Suddenly, Ma Er leaned in close and whispered.

After a moment's thought, Han Qing also lowered his voice and uttered a sentence.

"The Yin-Yang Scholar".

"I knew it! If things go wrong, we'd better run." Ma Er looked like he had just realized something.

"Brother Han, we meet again."

At this moment, Li Tai saw Han Qing and walked over as well.

"Brother Li." Han Qing nodded slightly.

"They said they were going to suppress bandits before they set off, but now it seems they have another mission. I wonder if it's dangerous? Brother Han, if you trust me, no matter what happens later, we'll stick together and look out for each other," Li Tai said.

"Okay." Han Qing nodded.

He felt that his group might not have a chance to get involved, so he agreed first, since he thought Li Tai was a trustworthy person.

“This is Mu Dachun from the Chai Gang. He is naturally strong, honest, and trustworthy,” Li Tai said, turning his head.

"Greetings, Brother Mu." Han Qing nodded slightly.

"Hello." Mu Dachun smiled, his voice deep and resonant.

Just as Li Tai was about to ask something, he suddenly heard a loud noise from afar, followed by a shout.

"kill!"

"Charge with me! Capture the Yin-Yang Cult villains alive!"

In just a few breaths, Han Qing saw hundreds of torches light up near and far from the Chen family's old house, rushing towards the house from different directions like fire dragons.

The battle broke out in full force. In no time, loud shouts and noises came from all directions, and the situation became very chaotic, as if fighting was taking place everywhere.

Han Qing placed one hand on the hilt of his knife, ready to strike at any moment.

“I see. Our mission is to capture members of the Yin-Yang Cult,” Li Tai murmured from the side.

"Han Qing, what are you waiting for? Run!" Ma Er shouted.

Han Qing's expression was strange. Ma Er tugged at his arm: "What are you waiting for? It'll be too late if a fight breaks out!"

Sun Xiao suddenly said, "No rush, there's another group ahead of us. We can set off after they escape."

Ma Er released Han Qing's arm: "Okay, then let's wait a little longer."

...

In the house.

In a dilapidated courtyard, the Yin-Yang Scholar, along with a group of people, looked around with grim faces, the sounds of shouting and killing echoing in their ears.

"That scoundrel Luo Sheng actually gave me false information! Suppressing bandits? Humph, the government officials are after me!" the Yin-Yang Scholar gritted his teeth. "Boss, what do we do now?" someone behind him asked.

"What do we do? Follow me and fight our way out!" The Yin-Yang Scholar drew his sword and was about to charge out.

Suddenly, a group of people appeared at the entrance of the small courtyard. The leader was Yang Wu, and there were many shadowy figures behind him.

The Yin-Yang Scholar squinted and scanned the area, spotting many prominent figures in the city, such as Jin Feng, the master of the Golden Tripod Martial Arts School, and Xiang Rihui, the leader of the Chai Gang.

"Yin Yang Scholar, you have committed heinous crimes. Now that you have fallen into my hands, I will grind you to dust!" Yang Wu roared.

The Yin-Yang Scholar laughed loudly: "What a fine idea of ​​'crushing bones to ashes'! Let's see if you have the ability!"

"Do it!"

"kill!"

In an instant, the two groups attacked simultaneously, clashing violently amidst roars. The air was filled with the crisp sounds of clashing weapons, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

...

"what!!"

"Someone has broken out!"

"Run!"

Fifteen minutes later, Han Qing, who was patiently waiting at the street corner, suddenly heard shouts coming from ahead. His eyes narrowed, and he saw the people guarding the front.

That group of people suddenly became confused.

"Run! The Yin-Yang Sect has attacked!" Ma Er didn't waste any words and took off running.

Many others made the same choice as him; although the strength of their opponents was unknown, there were many who were unwilling to take the risk.

Of course, some people chose to wait and see, because fortune favors the bold. Before setting off, Yang Wu clearly stated that killing one person would earn three taels of silver, capturing one person alive would earn five taels of silver, and all the spoils would belong to him.

Li Tai, Mu Dachun, and seven or eight others who were confident in their own strength did not make any rash moves. Some even drew their swords and charged against the crowd.

After a moment's thought, Han Qing decided not to flee with Ma Er. He was confident in his own strength, and with his mastery of lightness skill, he believed that if the person was truly powerful, escaping would not be a problem.

Just as he was pondering this, more than a dozen dark figures rushed out from the front, each with fierce eyes, their faces covered with black cloths, exuding a murderous aura.

"kill!"

Li Tai suddenly roared and charged forward with his sword drawn, his eyes filled with boundless hatred.

Inspired by his emotions, seven or eight other people rushed forward as well.

Han Qing didn't move, but while he remained still, someone rushed towards him.

"Get out of my way!"

A dark figure rushed towards him, its face contorted in a ferocious grimace, roaring as it slashed at his face with a blade.

However, his steps were stiff and his swordsmanship was sparse, full of loopholes in Han Qing's eyes. The moment he drew his sword, Han Qing had already predicted the trajectory of his blade. He suddenly used his lightness skill to step to the left, his body swayed, and at the same time, he thrust forward with his sword, accurately piercing the black figure's heart.

Han Qing's eyes were blazing with murderous intent as she stared coldly at him, a hint of excitement even flickering within them.

"It's time for you to die."

Han Qing murmured, twisted the blade, and with a swift pull, blood splattered, and the dark figure collapsed limply to the ground, lifeless.

Han Qing bent down and quickly searched the body, finding two taels of silver and a bottle of pills.

It was pitch black, the situation was critical, and the scene was chaotic. He didn't have time to take a closer look because another dark figure had already rushed in front of him.

The dark figure had a fierce look in his eyes. He raised his hand and slashed with his knife, but Han Qing reacted even faster. He suddenly moved forward and closed the distance, punching the figure in the chest.

The fist flashed with light and burst forth with tremendous force, sending him flying more than ten steps away. The moment he landed, the force exploded in his chest, blasting a large hole in it, leaving him covered in blood.

Please remember to come back and read it tomorrow, thank you!
