I have an endless army of warriors, rampaging across the heavens.

Chapter 51 Ants Look Up at the Sky, Mortals Slay Immortals!
Lei Yuanhong, aged 28.

My parents and grandparents are all far away in Shengjing City.

He himself is not yet married.

He has no children.

On the surface, it indeed has no weaknesses.

His swift swordsmanship was exceptionally sharp, earning him the nickname "Flying Swordsman" in the martial arts world.

However, Lei Shijun, Lai Da, and the others did not know that Lei Yuanhong was a passionate swordsman who had fallen deeply in love with Xiang Ling'er, the most beautiful and gentle courtesan of Zuixianlou.

on the one hand.

As a direct descendant of the Lei family and the son of a Beijing official, Lei Yuanhong's status did not allow him to marry a courtesan.

on the other hand.

Lei Yuanhong fell madly in love with Xiang Ling'er.

he loves her.

She loved him too.

But he couldn't give her a formal status.

One can imagine the guilt and distress in Lei Yuanhong's heart.

Until one day...

When Xiang Ling'er was kidnapped, Lei Yuanhong searched frantically everywhere, but in the end he only found a letter and a gold hairpin that he had made for his lover.

Lei Yuanhong knew it was time to make a decision.

……

"Ten old fogies."

"I've had enough of living."

"Use their names to cut off their escape route."

"From now on, I am free from the shackles of my family. From now on, I only wish to travel the world with Ling'er and never return to Shangyang Mansion."

Lei Yuanhong, carrying a string of dried-up old men's heads, threw it at the man's feet: "The clan elder has been killed, where is Ling'er?"

The man laughed and said, "Look, it's right here!"

He just finished speaking.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and dust flew everywhere.

"trap!"

Lei Yuanhong was shocked. His feet suddenly gave way, and the ground collapsed, revealing a large hole five or six zhang in diameter.

As the soil around the large hole began to throb, men wearing iron helmets and wielding iron shovels emerged.

"You lied to me!"

Lei Yuanhong was shocked and furious.

He offered his heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the ditch.

He had already killed ten elders of the clan as instructed, and all he wanted was to wander the world with Xiang Ling'er and live happily ever after.

Why are they still so aggressive and unwilling to let this ill-fated couple go?
Lei Yuanhong was furious.

But there was no time to get angry.

Holding a swift sword, he braced himself against the trap in the pit, using the barbs to flip himself up and try to jump out.

No matter what.

How can things possibly go as planned!

But then, two hundred burly men suddenly emerged from the ground.

One hundred is in the east.

One hundred is in the south.

Taking advantage of the wind direction, the hundred men on the east side threw sandbags at Lei Yuanhong, the sandbags filled with lime powder.

Caught off guard, Lei Yuanhong swiftly swung his sword, only to be blinded by the spray of lime dust.

Followed by.

"Swish!"

Lei Yuanhong heard a sound like the wind.

He couldn't open his eyes and see, but he knew it seemed like something was being thrown at him.

"Dog thief!"

"Rat!"

Lei Yuanhong closed his eyes, his sword in hand, moving with lightning speed, whistling wildly.

Upon contact, they finally realized that what was being thrown were nothing but flying axes.

Axes flew wildly.

Overwhelming.

Two hundred people.

Four-stage firing.

Each time, fifty flying axes would come from the east or the south.

Lei Yuanhong was still in the pit, dancing on the edge of a knife with his shoes on, making it extremely difficult for him to use his agility. He was also covered by so many flying axes, so even if his sword was fast, it would be difficult to completely block them.

"what!"

One of them wasn't blocked and hit my arm.

The distorted movements then triggered a chain reaction, with more and more axes hitting the target—

arm.

Shoulder.

thigh.

chest.

Head.

A flying axe was cleaved right into the center of Lei Yuanhong's forehead. Lei Yuanhong was no longer able to hold on. His face was covered in blood and his eyes were filled with resentment: "Why! Why is God so unfair! I only wanted to grow old with Ling'er! Heaven! How have you treated me so cruelly!"

Lei Yuanhong let out three long howls and collapsed to the ground.

As he fell to the ground, his body was pierced by the sharp blades in the pit, as if a thousand swords had pierced his heart. Seven or eight flying axes were also embedded in his body. What a tragic fate for a flying swordsman!

"Terrible! Terrible! Terrible!"

Zuo Jing possessed the seventh-level assassin 'Divine Archer' Zheng Qi. Seeing a powerful expert who was about to reach the fifth stage of the fourth stage being killed, he couldn't help but sigh.

Even the best can be the best.

I'm also afraid of kitchen knives.

If Lei Yuanhong were given room to maneuver, he could fight against a hundred men single-handedly. I wouldn't dare say he could kill all one hundred first-level assassins without taking any damage, but at least he could fight and move without his life in danger.

However, it was too frustrating to deal with the newly established 'mobile force' in Kamizakyo.

They dug a large hole here beforehand, propped it up with wooden planks and strips, and hid inside. When someone above laughed loudly and gave an order, the two hundred people pulled out the wooden strips together, and the entire ground sank.

The underground assassins, all wearing helmets, emerged from the ground.

They carried with them a handy shovel, a bag of lime, and four throwing axes.

First, use lime packets to confuse the enemy and obstruct their view.

Then, we threw the flying axes in three volleys in turn. This was an inspiration from the five hundred soldiers of Huangsha City, and it proved to be very effective today.

A dignified flying swordsman.

It turned into a lump of rotten flesh.

"Even on his deathbed, he's still thinking about that courtesan!"

"He's a love-struck guy."

"Unfortunately, it's also a bad seed."

Lei Yuanhong is no good person.

Zuo Jing understands this best.

He offered a bounty on the heads of members of the Lei family, and as a result, the Lei family reacted violently, arresting people indiscriminately, taking away all suspicious individuals who appeared around the people on the list.

They arrested him because he was a 'suspicious person'.

But what exactly constitutes a 'suspicious person'?
Of course, there were exceptions and exceptions. It was a complete idealism; as long as the Lei family thought someone was suspicious, they would arrest them.

this time.

The Lei family arrested countless people and tortured them severely, causing harm to countless innocent civilians.

Lei Yuanhong was one of the participants, and even one of the leaders.

He took her away.

He tortured me.

There are quite a few innocent people who have been wronged by him.

Some people suffer both physically and mentally.

Some people were murdered and their families were destroyed.

Is Lei Yuanhong miserable?

No matter how miserable he is, can he be more miserable than those people?
"A worthy death!"

"It's not a pity to die!"

Zuo Jing spat and ordered his assassins to dismember the body into eight pieces and throw it into the river to feed the fish.

……

June flew by.

This month has been the darkest month in the Lei family's two hundred years.

Gold and silver were stolen.

The money exchange went bankrupt.

Family members were abducted.

The clan offered a reward.

The blessed land was taken away.

This is not over yet.

Following this, six experts, led by Lei Shi'en and Lei Yuanhong, killed 44 respected elders of the Lei Family Fortress, committing acts of betrayal and treason that are too numerous to mention!
There are still skilled members of the Lei family; they haven't all died out.

But people's hearts and minds have completely collapsed—

One expert after another betrayed them.

One by one, the clan elders were killed.

One by one, the clansmen broke away.

The Lei family has existed for two hundred years.

Nearly 10,000 people.

Lei Family Fortress's outer fortifications were as solid as mountains, capable of withstanding the onslaught of tens of thousands of troops, but they could not prevent its collapse from within.

The beginning of the month.

The Lei family is still dealing with the Qin family.

End of the month.

They were already surrounded by wolves.

"master!"

"I also bribed the officials of the Provincial Judicial Commission with 20,000 taels of silver, and they sent 50 more men to Shangyang City."

"Including the more than one hundred people who came earlier, there are now two hundred constables from the Criminal Investigation Department in Shangyang City."

"These constables are all elite soldiers from various prefectures and counties within Jiujiang Province. They were incorporated into the Judicial Commission and trained uniformly. Each of them is an expert in handling and solving cases."

"Under heavy rewards, there will be brave men."

"The constables are capable."

"The master is not short of money."

"I'm not afraid of not being able to solve this case, and I'm not afraid of not being able to find the mastermind behind it!"

The head steward's name is "Lai Da," and he is the older brother of the gatekeeper "Qin Daye" Lai Er. The two brothers have been with Lei Shijun for more than 30 years and are closer to him than his own sons.

He looked at Lei Shijun, whose hair had turned white overnight and who seemed to have aged twenty years, and his heart was filled with heartache.
