In the courtyard.

More than ten people dressed in red and yellow clothes, and more than ten people dressed in dark brown clothes, were huddled together, many of them with injuries.

There were also many lying on the ground.

The moment the door opened, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards the entrance.

Han Bingyi stepped in, followed by his three henchmen lined up in a row.

"How lively!" he said with a mocking smile. "Master Li, Master Wang, what happened that made you two so angry?"

Li, the head of the Li gang, sheathed his knife, looked at Han Bingyi, then at Wang, the head of the Chishui Gang, across from him, his eyes wide as if to say, "You guys are playing such dirty tricks."

But the hall master Wang glared back, his anger palpable.

In their minds, as long as the gangs don't go too far, especially in this kind of internal strife, why should these officials bother to get involved and get away with it?

At this moment, a fat shopkeeper who had been hiding behind a pillar suddenly ran out with his hands raised.

He slid down to his knees.

"Han Chasi, help me..."

Xu Shimo pulled his feet back, patted his back, and then pointed to the side: "Shopkeeper, this way."

Realizing he had knelt before the wrong person, the fat shopkeeper said "thank you," then turned around and hugged Han Bingyi's leg.

You're quite polite... Xu Shimo watched quietly as the chubby shopkeeper began to re-emphasize his emotions, crying and sniffling:

"Officer Han, you must stand up for Mingchun Hall! We only received three Qinghui Grasses, and those bastards from the Chishui Gang somehow got wind of it and immediately brought their men to steal them."

"Fortunately, the brothers of the Five Poisons Gang saw injustice and came to the rescue."

Master Li was clearly taken aback for a moment, and then quickly followed up with:

"Yes, sir, we are just that kind of public-spirited people, and one of these plants is specifically meant to be delivered to your residence."

Qinghui grass is the main ingredient in Qingling pills. Qingling pills are also known as opening pills because of their calming and tranquilizing effects, which are very beneficial for opening the Zique acupoints.

Moreover, this Qinghui Grass has a fatal attraction to all kinds of demonic beasts, and it grows in places surrounded by demons.

Its value is self-evident.

"Alright!"

Han Bingyi shouted and rolled his eyes: "You old Lu and the Five Poisons Gang are all in cahoots. Even the madam of the brothel knows this. Are you kidding me? A Qinghui Grass? Humph! Who cares about that?"

"Old Chang, for Lu Yi's sake, you can stay in the back—Xu Shimo, I'll take care of Hall Master Li, and you can take care of Hall Master Wang, okay?"

As he spoke, he slowly drew his sword and asked Xu Shimo a question, seemingly inquiringly.

But Xu Shimo had no room to refuse, so he immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute:

"Don't worry, Han Chasi. I think Master Wang will put up a bid and sell Seoul."

After saying that, he gave Lin Jing a wink.

There was no other way. Aside from being forced into a corner, Xu Shimo always believed in two principles: first, to challenge opponents of higher levels; and second, to fight with superior numbers.

Judging from what Han Cha Tou specifically pointed out, this Hall Master Wang is most likely also at the third level of Qi and Blood, which means that Xu Shi Mo will not be able to challenge those of lower levels.

We'll have to hire some outside help.

"The Five Poisons Gang and the Red Water Gang are causing trouble and disrupting people's lives. Seize them! Regardless of their lives!"

As Han Bingyi unleashed his sword strike, the entire scene erupted in cheers once again.

Xu Shimo's eyes turned slightly cold as he leaped forward, drawing his sword and creating a gust of wind.

Fixed Wind Knife Technique.

He used all his strength from the start, and the huge force struck, but the Wang Hall Master, who was broad-shouldered and burly like a black bear spirit, was able to block it with a black iron ruler.

"Kid, you think you can use me, Old Wang, as a stepping stone? You'd better see if you're even qualified!"

Master Wang clenched his teeth, his face filled with a fierce expression.

With a flick of his wrist, he flung Xu Shimo away, the impact numbing his arm. Fortunately, the Fish-Dragon Stake was firmly planted, and with a quick flick of his wrist, he used the Wind-Stabilizing Saber Technique to deflect the force.

Lin Jing arrived at that moment.

Despite having some strength, the head of the Wang family was at a disadvantage in less than twenty rounds.

Han Bingyi and Li, the leader of the Five Poisons Gang, fought to a standstill.

However, it was tough on Wang Chatou, who was fighting two opponents at once, and his veins bulged and his face turned red.

She wanted to ask Xu Shimo and Lin Jing for help, but she couldn't bring herself to do it because she remembered how the two of them had tricked her and made her lose face.

Then came a loud shout.

"Long River Blade - Sunset Style!"

Wang Chang's strength suddenly surged, like the rising sun, and he launched a fierce attack forward, powerful and magnificent, with dazzling blade light.

"Second Brother, I'll go help Master Wang first, you hold them off." Seeing that things were going badly, one of the people quickly dodged away.

"asshole!"

The remaining man hurriedly raised his knife to block.

"..."

Despite being outmaneuvered, Master Wang wielded a heavy ruler and managed to avoid being harmed in the slightest by the two attackers.

Suddenly, Xu Shimo reached into the pouch hanging at his waist, grabbed a handful of white powder, and then pushed it out with the force of his Black Wind Palm.

It's lime!

—This was bought by Xu Shimo on the way here, because some time was wasted on the way.

The lime was thrown at him, accurately hitting Wang Tangzhu's face, instantly dissipating most of his strength, and causing him to lose control of the iron ruler he was wielding.

Seizing the opportunity, Xu Shimo raised his long sword high, about to cleave it down on the man's head.

Watch out behind you!

A voice suddenly came from behind.

It's Fang Jian.

He saw the man who had broken away from Wang Chang carrying a knife, silently stabbing at Xu Shimo.

Fang Jian leaped forward, his short blade meeting the attack.

clang!

The weapons clashed, but the opponent's blade was clearly more powerful and faster, breaking straight through the block.

The blade swept across Fang Jian's arm and waist, and blood instantly stained his clothes.

Upon hearing that shout—or rather, at the moment of that warning—Xu Shimo was already alert. After swinging the knife halfway around, he suddenly made a nimble movement with his wrist.

With a sudden twist of the wrist, the blade spun around without slipping out of his hand or becoming sluggish.

Backhand straight thrust.

A white knife goes in, a red knife comes out.

剎!

The knife was pulled out, and drops of blood, glowing red, fell.

All that remained was a large hole, from which blood flowed uncontrollably, and the man collapsed with a thud.

Looking in front of him, the head of the Wang family had also been beheaded by Lin Jing with a single stroke, his round head rolling several times on the ground.

However, due to the immense inertia, the iron ruler still slammed hard into Lin Jing's back.

With all enemies in front and behind him defeated, Xu Shimo turned around.

"What are you yelling about...?"

Seeing Fang Jian's pained expression, he couldn't help but complain.

Fang Jian lay half-on the ground, his face deathly pale: "I... I remembered that You Niang is still waiting for you, so I can't let anything happen to you."

"No, that's not it..." Xu Shimo shook his head. "Don't you know the importance of a martial artist's vigilance? Besides, a reminder would have been enough. Why use your own body to block it?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Jian's face stiffened, then, enduring the pain from his wound, he managed a bitter smile:

"It doesn't matter anymore. I...you, you're a promising person. You must treat Youniang well, otherwise...otherwise I won't let you off the hook even in the afterlife."

"You Niang, You Niang comes from a good family. She has suffered a lot of cold treatment since she was a child. Although she is blind, she has a kind heart and is very skillful."

Xu Shimo listened quietly, then asked, "Are you finished?"

"Um?"

"After you've finished speaking, find a place to hide."

After saying that, Xu Shimo turned around with the knife in his hand, but his voice continued, "I have never seen anyone die from just a few light cuts. Uncle Lin... Chief Lin was more seriously injured than you."

"So dramatic!"

The wound was still bleeding, but Fang Jian's pale face instantly turned red.
