Starting with choosing a wife, creating the most powerful Xia

One-Eyed Dragon, with his hands tied behind his back, was forced in front of the crowd.

Chu Xuan looked up and saw that the ground was covered with the corpses of bandits. A few were still breathing, but they were barely clinging to life.

The villagers all had some bloodstains on them, but their smiles had never been so radiant, as bright as the spring sunshine.

It was probably after this incident that the gloom that had been weighing on their hearts finally began to dissipate.

The clan elder, leading all the able-bodied men of the village, walked towards Chu Xuan and was the first to kneel down on one knee.

"Lord Chu, you are truly a benefactor to our Nameless Village!"

The elder was moved to tears; he hadn't felt so joyful in so many years.

Seeing this, the villagers behind him also wanted to kneel down, which startled Chu Xuan. He quickly stopped them and helped the elder up.

"There's no need for this, everyone. I, Chu Xuan, promised you that I would ensure Wuming Village would never be bullied again and that you would all live a good life. As the lord of this place, this is simply what I should do."

"Lord Chu is truly righteous!"

The clan elder shouted, and the villagers joined in the shout.

Chu Xuan could clearly feel that after this, everyone in the nameless village was now completely convinced of his worth, and the hearts of the people had finally been won over.

He also breathed a sigh of relief.

This time he put in a lot of effort, spending a lot of silver and even using the gunpowder he had just refined.

If he still can't win people's hearts even with this, he's really lost out big time.

Fortunately, everything is moving in a positive direction.

At this moment, Ah Leng, holding one end of the rope, brought the one-eyed dragon over and asked.

"What should we do with this person? Kill him?"

Upon hearing this, One-Eyed Dragon immediately sensed that the way people around him were looking at him was strange.

The villagers had already been provoked to resist, and they no longer had any fear of the one-eyed man who had become their prey; some were even starting to rub their hands together in anticipation.

But Chu Xuan stopped him and said with a smile, "This person cannot be killed yet."

"The people who should be killed haven't all arrived yet. It would be a real pity to kill them now. Have you all forgotten that the One-Eyed Dragon has been able to act so arrogantly on Nameless Mountain for so many years because he has someone backing him up?"

After he finished speaking, everyone finally realized what he meant.

Without further ado, Chu Xuan led them toward the Lu family's location.

Seeing the Lu family's magnificent house from afar was dazzling.

Most of the people in the nameless village couldn't even get enough to eat, but the Lu family father and son lived like local tyrants, which shows how much they had plundered from the people.

Since we're going to do it, let's go all the way and eliminate the Lu family father and son as well, cutting off the roots completely.

The commotion at the village entrance was quite significant, and Lu Yongyuan and his son had already noticed something amiss. From afar, they saw the bandits being utterly defeated by Chu Xuan and his men, and they immediately panicked.

Lu Yongyuan never expected that Chu Xuan, whom he had always thought was all talk and no action and had no guile, would actually have such a trick up his sleeve.

Pretending to know nothing in front of him, he had secretly gathered so many people and wiped out the bandits with lightning speed.

Lu Yongyuan's foothold in Wuming Village largely depended on One-Eyed Dragon's manpower. Now that One-Eyed Dragon was finished, Lu Yongyuan immediately sensed danger.

He grabbed Lu Han and tried to escape, even abandoning many of his valuables, taking only a few silver notes with him.

Even so, the two were still a step too late. As soon as they stepped out, they saw a large group of people surrounding them, with Chu Xuan at the head.

Chu Xuan watched the two who were hurrying to escape, a mocking smile on his lips.

"Village Chief Lu, where are we going?"

Lu Yongyuan shuddered and subconsciously turned around to look, only to meet Chu Xuan's eyes. The smile on the young man's face now seemed like a terrifying demon to him, making him shudder involuntarily.

"Lord Chu...

He hadn't expected Chu Xuan to arrive with his men so quickly. Behind him, villagers wielding cleavers and brooms were all glaring at him menacingly; the sheer presence of them was enough to send chills down his spine.

Knowing there was no way to reverse the situation, Lu Yongyuan immediately dropped his belongings and knelt down.

"My lord, I know I was wrong. Please have mercy and spare my life. I will never dare to disloyal you again and will serve you like a slave!"

She spoke while weeping, and if someone who didn't know the situation saw it, they would unconsciously feel a bit of pity.

But this does not include Chu Xuan.

He looked down at Lu Han, who was kneeling down like Lu Yongyuan.

"Is that so? In that case, you'll listen to whatever I say?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Please give your orders, sir."

The father and son seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope and quickly said...

Then Chu Xuan said casually, "Alright, since that's the case, I want to see the sincerity of you two. You two slap each other. Whoever slaps a hundred times first, I will let them go. Remember, be serious. If either of you holds back even a little, you know what will happen to you."

Upon hearing this, both of them were stunned, gritted their teeth, and looked at each other.

Although they knew that Chu Xuan was doing this to humiliate and toy with them, people are always reluctant to give up hope when they are in despair, no matter how illusory that hope may be.

Little did they know that sometimes hope is the most terrifying thing.

Under the watchful eyes of about a hundred villagers, the father and son slapped each other.

Each of them put in their best effort, their voices were incredibly clear, and soon you could see that their faces were red and swollen from being hit by the other.

Blood was drawn from the corner of his mouth, and Lu Yongyuan felt dizzy and lightheaded. He even spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with broken teeth and blood.

After watching for a while, Chu Xuan lost interest.

The original intention of doing this was simply to let the people of the nameless village vent their anger; once the desired effect was achieved, that was enough.

Anyway, it's not like we're really going to let them go.

He then waved his hand and said, "A Leng, take them to the village entrance and, together with One-Eyed Dragon, kill them!"

"it is good."

This time, A Leng did not hesitate at all. She grabbed the already exhausted father and son, tied them up, and dragged them to the village entrance without paying attention to their cries of pain.

Take a long sword from the one-eyed man's horse.

This long knife was probably specially made by One-Eyed Dragon. It is 1.3 meters long and has a sharp edge. It is obviously different from the broadswords of ordinary mountain bandits. It is a real killing weapon.

At this moment, the one-eyed man was already kneeling at the village entrance. When he saw the two of them being brought over, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.

They were then forced to kneel side by side.

No matter how much the father and son begged and wailed, it was to no avail.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the nameless village, Ah Leng twirled her long sword with remarkable skill and elegance, exuding a transcendent aura. Then, with a swift and decisive stroke, she swept the blade across the field!

Blood splattered out, and three perfectly healthy heads rolled to the ground.

The Lu family, father and son, who had preyed on the nameless village for decades, and the bandit One-Eyed Dragon, thus came to an end.
