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

Chapter 62 Lei Shijun, I'll borrow your head for a moment!
"Brother Lei."

"you're old."

Two days later, at Lei's residence, a man in black robes unveiled himself, revealing an old man with white hair and a youthful face.

Lei Shijun slumped in his armchair and recognized the person: "Lü Renkan, you look even younger."

Lei Shijun.

Lü Renkan.

Two outstanding figures of the same era.

More than 30 years ago, Lei Shijun became the head of the Lei family, but Lü Renkan lost to his cousin Lü Chengxiang and has been silent ever since.

how many years?

Lei Shijun had not heard of Lü Renkan for at least fifteen years.

I thought he was dead.

I never thought I'd survive.

And it seems they're doing quite well.

The two are the same age.

Look at Lü Renkan, with his white hair and youthful face, brimming with boundless energy.

Looking at him again, he was emaciated, his life force already exhausted.

Lei Shijun sighed, "The Fu family killed my second son, Lei Yuanwu, first, and you came to kill me afterward. For the sake of our past friendship, let me die knowing why. I just want to know, who exactly did the Lei family offend?"

Lei Shijun had long since lost his strength, like a tiger that had lost all its teeth; as fierce as he once was, so desolate he was now.

Lu Renkan was moved, but he shook his head: "That group of people is extremely mysterious. At the beginning of the month, they sent people to my Lu family, the Fu family, and the three major sects outside the city, each making three demands. In the past ten days, the Fu family responded the fastest. My Lu family originally wanted to make excuses, but we were a little slow and didn't manage to gather 60 catties of precious meat in time to hand it over. That very night, the huge Lu mansion was doused with hundreds of buckets of excrement. The three sects fared even worse; their mountain gates were burned down, their disciples were killed, and they lost all face and dignity."

So arrogant!

The Lü family knew this was just a warning.

The group's meaning was clear—

Today we can throw manure.

We can pour kerosene tomorrow.

Today we can take down the Lü family.

We can take over any of the Lü family's businesses tomorrow.

Like the Lei family, the Lü family was also large and powerful. They were taken aback and dared not be negligent. They quickly presented 60 catties of precious meat and put the hunting mission "Mission One: Hunting Lei Shijun" on the agenda. For this purpose, they specially invited Lü Renkan back.

Lu Renkan only learned what had happened in Shangyang City in recent months when he returned.

Shock.

anger.

In the end, however, they still succumbed.

It's not just because of the Lei family.

It's not just because of throwing excrement.

More importantly because—

"Three days ago."

“Those people set three big fires at the same time: Danyang Mountain of the Danyang Sect, Huangshu Mountain of the Tieshen Sect, and Wuji Mountain of the Tongtian Sect.”

"Set the mountain on fire!"

"The autumn air is crisp and clear!"

"They almost burned down the entire foundation of the three factions!"

Lu Renkan still feels terrified when he mentions this matter.

Those guys!
Lawless!

"They act without any scruples."

"kill."

"set fire."

"steal."

"Looting".

"The disaster will extend to his wife and children."

"They readily abduct entire families!"

Do everything to extremes.

As long as things don't go their way, as long as they target something, they don't care about the means; they'll use whatever they have, and if they do, it will be effective.

How to fight?
We can't win!

Lü Renkan sighed, "The Lei family can't defeat him, the three factions can't defeat him, and neither can our Lü family."

He looked at Lei Shijun and said, "Today, I, Lü Renkan, swear that if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely avenge this blood feud for the Lei family and for Brother Lei!"

"Good good!"

Lei Shijun gave a bitter smile.

He waved his hand: "Lai Da, take your men and leave."

Lai Da cried until his eyes were red: "Lai Da swears to live and die with you, sir!"

Good servant!
True loyalty!
Unfortunately, they chose the wrong master.

The moment Lü Renkan walked out of the Lei residence carrying Lei Shijun's head—

The Lei family of Shangyang!

A two-hundred-year-old enterprise has come to an end!

……

"It was really tough!" Zuo Jing, possessing the body of the assassin, sighed deeply upon seeing Lei Shijun's severed head.

Thinking back carefully.

From initially sending assassins to infiltrate the Lei family mine, to stealing gold and silver at the end of April, to extorting precious meat from Lei Yuanwen's wife and children in June, to entering the Yellow Sand Blessed Land, seizing Yellow Sand City, and then causing a run on the Lei family bank, kidnapping the families of Lei family experts, offering bounties to core members of the Lei family, threatening experts to kill Lei family elders, and framing the Qin family.

Wait for these.

Call it playing around if you will.

The deeper reason is that Zuo Jing's strength at the time was not enough to deal a devastating blow to the Lei family, and it was difficult to achieve victory in one battle. Especially since he was reluctant to let his loyal followers die, there were more things to consider, and the methods and approaches needed to be carefully considered.

Until the end of June.

More assassins, more knowledge, more preparation.

Sakyo finally launched a full-scale attack—

Digging up ancestral graves.

Leijiabao was flooded.

Shops and warehouses were burned down.

Kill the shopkeeper and manager.

All in one go.

From spirit to body, from talent to assets, it was only then that Zuo Jing launched a full-scale attack.

Even so, Zuo Jing found it difficult to effectively strike at Lei Mansion and Lei Family Fort, the two core territories of the Lei family.

Including Lei Shijun.

Even Lei Yuanyong and Lei Yuanwu.

These are the core members or top experts of the Lei family.

Zuo Jingdu is difficult to deal with and hard to kill.

Only by coercing the two families and three factions of Shangyang Prefecture could the problem be resolved.

As for killing Lei Yuanhong and other fourth-stage masters of the Lei family, the method used was to attack their minds and coerce them, then lure them to the ambush position prepared in advance by two hundred assassins, and then swarm them. Two hundred against one, and then they were dealt with one by one with 'lime and flying axes'.

In reality, only six fourth-stage masters, including Lei Yuanhong, died at the hands of the two hundred assassins.

Too many restrictions.

Insufficient conditions.

Moreover, Zuo Jing was extremely cautious.

Like Lei Shien.

Zuo Jing could have dealt with him the same way he dealt with Lei Yuanhong, but because he was wary of Lei Yuanhong's fifth-stage strength, he worried that he would not only fail to kill him but would also be killed instead, or that Lei Yuanhong would escape and expose the existence of the two hundred assassins' "Special Action Team".

finally.

He sent his four combat-type level eight assassins to lead the attack, two of whom were at the second stage of Blood Burning, and with the assistance of two hundred assassins, they were able to surround and kill him in one fell swoop.

It is extremely difficult.

If it's this difficult to deal with a fifth-stage Lei Shi'en, how many experts does the entire Lei family have?

Among those whom Zuo Jing had contact with, there was Lei Shikai, in particular, who was similar to Lei Shi'en.

It is said that there are three others, including Lei Shiying, who have not had any contact with him.

There are five people in total.

There are more than forty experts in the next four stages.

This is the result of decades of accumulation by the Lei family, followed by eight years of nurturing with precious meat after occupying the Huangsha Blessed Land, resulting in such a large scale.

Don't say anything else.

However, even if Zuo Jing sent two thousand elite warriors to fight these forty top experts, it would be difficult to kill them all. In fact, they might be wiped out instead.

"To kill these masters, you need to be a little smart."

Foolishly engaging in a head-on confrontation?
No matter how many suicide soldiers there are, they won't be enough to kill.

However, like Zuo Jing, by kidnapping the families of these masters, threatening them to do things, and then cutting off their escape route and help after they have killed the clan elders and corrupt officials, and then using the pretext of returning their wives and children, he can lead them to a predetermined location alone. It doesn't take much; two hundred assassins can kill a fourth-stage master without injury.

This is the advanced way to use a suicide squad—

Exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses.

The only problem is that it will take a little longer, and the battle will drag on.

"But I just turned eighteen, and I have plenty of time."

Regardless of age.

The number of new assassins is still increasing daily.

From any perspective, time is on Sakyo's side.

He's the most reliable.

No need to rush.

His opponent should be the one who's worried.

It is the Fu family and the Lü family.

They are the Danyang School, the Tongtian School, and the Tieshen School.

They were the group of experts from the Lei family stationed at the entrance of the Turtle Back Peak Yellow Sand Blessed Land!
"The assassins cannot directly wipe out the remaining members of the Lei family on Turtleback Peak."

"But assassins can threaten the three factions of Shangyang."

"The three factions of Shangyang can wipe out the remnants of the Lei family."

"It's roughly equivalent to the death squad wiping out the remaining members of the Lei family."

"Plan approved!"
