Chapter 66 The Swordsman of Guolu (Please continue reading)

Three men in black, each wielding a blood-dripping broadsword, stood silently, forming a triangle around the middle-aged man.

The tall, thin man in black asked in a deep voice.
"Mushroom, which way are you going? What's the price?"

The burly man looked confused, seemingly not understanding the underworld slang.

Perhaps seeing the burly man's robust qi and long, even breathing, they realized he must possess considerable cultivation.

The tall, thin man in black took a deep breath and could only question him using the most basic and easily understood slang.
"Please tell me your name, Man'er!"

The burly man wiped his face in annoyance and said,
"I come from Mount Shu, you've heard of me, right? I'm a member of the Guolu Hui Xunfeng Ge, I don't understand your unorthodox ways, let's speak frankly!"

Guolu Hui?
Wind-Patterned Brothers?

Upon hearing this, the three of them were shocked and their faces showed astonishment.

The Guolu Society was a notorious bandit and rebel group that roamed the south, and was a major threat to the Holy Dynasty.

In the early days, the order of the Guolu was disrupted. They indulged in fine clothes and food, gambling by day and debauchery by night, resembling a swarm of locusts.

But since the new leader 'Big Black Hat' took office thirty years ago, he has ruthlessly eliminated villains within the organization and settled old feuds outside, carrying out sweeping reforms to domestic affairs and killing countless people, finally forcibly turning the tide of the Guolu Society.

Nowadays, there are eight inner halls and eight outer halls in Singapore.

The eight inner halls are Dragon, Alliance, Incense, Assistant, Accompanying, Punishment, Execution, and Ritual;

The eight outer halls are: the plaque holder, the sage, the Marquis Huan, the steward, the patrolman, the discipline officer, the plaque hanger, and the camp gate.

They believe in the virtues of 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness', and they like to name their various posts and hilltops after themselves with names like 'Benevolence Hall' or 'Trustworthiness Hall'.

From then on, the Guolu Society gradually became more upright in its actions and even gained the support of many gentry families in the south.

For example, this big man is called "Xunfeng Paoge," and he is a member responsible for reconnaissance and intelligence gathering.

The lowest-ranking members are called Guoluzi, and only those with second-rate or higher strength can be called Paoge.

"So you're a hero from the Guolu Society! It's a misunderstanding! We three brothers were hired by these mountain people as swordsmen, but these scoundrels turned their backs on us and tried to cheat us out of our wages after obtaining the treasure!"

Upon hearing this, the man with the big nose quickly lowered his head, gently placed the mountain produce in his hands on the ground, and said,
"Since you are a great hero from the Guolu Society, all these things are yours."

Upon seeing this, the other two also showed obsequious expressions and took out all their silver from their pockets.

The shadow of a famous tree.

Although the Guolu Society has always been active in the south, no one in the underworld who is unaware of their name is unfamiliar with them.

All martial artists who come from the Guolu Society have undergone the "Three Blades and Six Caves Training" and are all elites, standing out among their peers.

The three of them felt it wasn't worth getting into a conflict with such a person; they were too busy currying favor with him!

Upon seeing this, the burly man licked his dry lips, a faint glint of greed flashing in his eyes.

"If that's the case, then get lost. I'm in a good mood today and I won't bother with you."

"Very well, thank you so much, hero..."

The three of them spoke in unison, making a move to retreat, but then the smiles on their faces suddenly turned into sinister grins.

call out!
The tall, thin man swung his knife, and his two companions also transformed into a whirlwind and pounced on the big man at the same time.

Thunderous roars resounded, blood surged, and the air became scorching hot. The undisguised killing intent was enough to terrify any ordinary person!

The burly man was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage.

The local gangs are so rude!
We had a perfectly good agreement, why are you turning your back on me like this!
In the dense forest, a fight broke out from the rustling green leaves, and the firelight flickered.

The short, chaotic footsteps shook the surrounding sand and dust.

A shrill punch, a broken broadsword, and a figure thrown back by the force of the impact.

A muffled groan, a curse, and a torrent of blood.

Finally, there were two rapid, bellows-like breaths.

Chen Shunan hid in the pine and cypress trees, subtly shifting his hips, and continued to watch with great interest.

All that remained was the tall, thin man and his big nose.

The big man died, and so did another of their companions.

The tall, thin man, skilled in light-footed martial arts, took a punch to the knee, nearly breaking one of his legs. Now, his foot was not touching the ground, and his lower half was limp, leaving him barely able to stand on one leg.

His face, covered in red, white, and yellow sauce, had collapsed.

What's even more interesting is that Chen Shunan recognized the tall, thin man.

It was the same person who followed him all the way after he went to the black market to have the 'Python Fang Shoes' made, but ultimately withdrew decisively. No wonder these three were so compliant.

far away,
Big Nose's face was gloomy as he quickly searched for the big man's corpse.

Apart from a few taels of silver and some miscellaneous items, there was a sword-shaped wooden wedge.

Its surface is pitted and covered with tadpole-like characters, seemingly recording something.

Big Nose looked closely, veins bulging on his forehead, and he swore loudly.

"grass!"

"This fellow is indeed not from the Guolu Society, but the Guolu Society has really come to the capital, and is actually issuing notices everywhere, inviting heroes from all over the world to join the Guolu Society!"

The tall, thin man picked up a branch from the ground and gritted his teeth to bandage his wound. Upon hearing this, he showed a hint of joy on his face, never expecting such an unexpected gain.

Joining the Guolu Society would be a tremendous boon for these free-spirited outlaws!

My good brother, you died a good... tragic death!
However, there is only one sign.

There were two of them.

The forest suddenly fell silent; there was no chirping of insects or calls of birds, and a strange and eerie atmosphere emanated from the two of them.

"Who?!"

Suddenly, the big-nosed man turned his head to look in Chen Shunan's direction, shouted, and glared angrily.

Chen Shunan remained motionless.

Ha, trying to scam me?

Whoosh whoosh! !

To everyone's surprise, the big-nosed man's face turned serious. He then scattered a handful of flying stones, which shot out like arrows, piercing through the trees along the way and heading straight for Chen Shunan.

"Sigh... I was just passing by."

A helpless sigh drifted out.

Seeing that he had been discovered, Chen Shunan jumped down from the tree, lightly touched the ground with his feet, and darted towards the two like a snake in the blink of an eye.

However, Chen Shunan soon discovered this.

Something seems to have gone wrong.

The man with the large nose kept scattering flying stones with his right hand, while his left hand silently transformed from a palm into a fist, unleashing a surge of violent internal energy that nearly tore the black robe apart.

Go straight for the tall, thin guy's broken leg!

Meanwhile, the tall, thin man silently raised his broadsword and slashed fiercely at the big-nosed man's neck!

The two attacked simultaneously, sneaking up on their companion.

But unexpectedly, someone actually appeared!
When the two men saw Chen Shunan, they both looked as if they had seen a ghost.

There's a second person?!
Upon seeing this, Chen Shunan's face suddenly turned ashen.

Mr. Chen actually got blown up?!

"kill him!"

"Where did this old man come from!"

This sudden turn of events filled the two men with shock and anger, and they simultaneously forgot their past grudges and joined forces to kill each other.

The force of the punch was so powerful that it could split rocks and shatter monuments.

The broadsword was sharp, and the blood still lingered.

But, it's too slow.

Chen Shunan's eyes were sharp, and his two fingers, like eagle hooks, drew a fleeting trajectory in the air, easily gripping Big Nose's throat.

"beg……"

Big Nose's pupils suddenly contracted, and the plea for mercy was still escaping his lips.

The next second, as if a waterwheel were spinning wildly, the head with the big nose spun several times, and the neck made cracking sounds as it snapped.

With terror still etched on his face, Big Nose's knees buckled, and he tumbled to the ground.
