Chapter 1 Spring Rain Tower

The constable who had gone to gather information rushed back again, hurrying to report the situation to the prefect.

"Your Honor, Commander Deng tried his best to hurry, but was still a step late. That Chen Feng is too ruthless! The guards of the He residence were scattered and killed, and almost all the male members of the He family were killed or injured..."

Disbelief appeared in Prefect Lin's eyes. He slammed the table in anger:

"How could this be? How could one person cause such chaos? Could it be that you misreported the news? It's not just one person, but many bandits?!"

"This humble one has inquired, it's really because Chen Feng's martial arts are too superb..."

The constable explained, wiping away cold sweat.

Prefect Lin was furious. In the eyes of a civil official like him, who governed a region, superb martial arts were nothing. It was just one person. He couldn't imagine how one person could do such a thing.

He hadn't taken it seriously when it was just one strongman causing trouble, but he didn't expect it to cause such a stir, making him, the prefect, lose face.

Prefect Lin turned his head and saw Master He slumped in his seat, as if he had lost his soul.

"My He family... is finished..."

Master He's face was ashen, and his body swayed.

Seeing this, even Master Huang, who had been gloating before, couldn't be happy.

After all, they had a common interest in advancing and retreating together. Seeing others suffer small misfortunes was quite amusing, but when disaster struck, they were united against a common enemy.

"Fortunately, we are entertaining the Prefect today, and Brother He, you are not at home, so you escaped a disaster. This is because Lord Lin is blessed, and he has incidentally protected us. Don't panic, Prefect Lin will definitely take charge for you."

Master Huang comforted him, and also flattered the Prefect.

Prefect Lin's expression softened slightly when he heard this, and he nodded, "That's right, even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will catch this villain and hand him over to your He family to deal with."

Master Huang echoed, "My Huang family will definitely lend you a hand."

Master He came back to his senses, mustered his energy, and bowed to the two of them to express his thanks, but his eyes were still dull and lifeless.

Prefect Lin then looked at the constable who was reporting the news, and said in a deep voice:

"Go back and tell Deng Zhi that he must capture the villain, or I will hold him accountable! Have you found out where that villain is going?"

The constable hesitated to speak, glanced at Master Huang, and said helplessly:

"Reporting to Your Honor, after Chen Feng attacked the He residence, he went to the Huang residence. Commander Deng has already led the soldiers to pursue him. The situation is still unknown..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three people present were stunned.

Master Huang, who had just offered comfort, suddenly turned pale, stood up abruptly, even knocking over his chair in his panic, and cried out in a broken voice:

"What? He went to my residence?!"

...

South of the city, the Huang residence.

Just a little while ago, a local ruffian came to report the news of what had happened at the He residence, immediately causing a stir in the Huang residence.

The Huang family members who had not followed Master Huang to the banquet hurriedly gathered in the main hall, listening to the steward report the news of the He family's misfortune, causing a commotion.

"Who is this Chen Feng? Why would he do such a thing?"

"He's a lawless villain, daring to commit crimes in the state capital! What is the government doing?"

"How is the He family now? Send someone to investigate and report back quickly!"

The Huang family elders in charge were in an uproar, speaking one after another.

Some were surprised, some were angry, some were anxious... With Master Huang not at home to take charge, these people were all talking at once, and the main hall was as noisy as a market.

In addition, the Huang family members present couldn't help but secretly rejoice and feel afraid.

Fortunately, it was the He family that Chen Feng attacked. If he had chosen their Huang family, they would have been the ones to suffer... Since Chen Feng could kill so many at the He residence, he would definitely be able to cause heavy casualties in their Huang family as well.

Although the He family was killed and blood flowed like a river, the Huang family members present also felt a sense of sorrow. However, it was always better for a friend to die than oneself, and it was better to mourn a dead rabbit than to be the unlucky one.

At this time, an uncle of the Huang family named Huang Deqing, stomped his cane hard, suppressing the commotion in the hall. He shook his white beard and shouted:

"What's done is done, more talk is useless. These kinds of villains are nothing more than murderers for money. We must help the government catch these villains, otherwise, anyone will dare to provoke our four great families in the future! Yesterday a Guo Haishen popped up, today a Chen Feng popped up, both are resentful and reckless fools. Who knows who will pop up tomorrow? If this continues, how will we dare to do business properly?"

As soon as he finished speaking, many Huang family members nodded, agreeing with him.

"Uncle is right, if we can't bring these villains to justice, what face will we have?"

"This Chen Feng has committed atrocities, he must be hiding in the state capital and running for his life. In my opinion, we should mobilize those local ruffians, turn the place upside down to find this person, and inform the government!"

Everyone clamored, and for a time, they were all stirred up.

The He family had suffered a great disaster. As one of the four great wealthy families, the Huang family members were all shocked and shaken. After the shock, they were united against a common enemy, afraid of following in their footsteps, and just wanted to immediately mobilize their forces to capture the murderer.

If they didn't get rid of Chen Feng, they wouldn't be able to sleep or eat in peace!

Bang!

However, at this moment, a loud crash came from the front courtyard.

At the same time, a roar like thunder followed:

"Chen Feng pays a visit!!"

The sound waves spread in all directions, echoing throughout the Huang residence.

The Huang family members in the main hall were all stunned, then their faces changed drastically, and they were terrified.

The place suddenly became chaotic.

"How did this villain come here?!"

"Why doesn't he run away, but come to us? Isn't he afraid of being hunted down by the soldiers!"

"Does this person want to kill our Huang family today as well?"

Everyone had been clamoring happily just now, but when they heard that Zhou Jing had come to their door, they all panicked and couldn't believe it.

They couldn't understand why Chen Feng dared to attack again?!

Huang Deqing, the uncle who had spoken earlier, also had a flash of panic in his eyes, but he calmed himself down and said in a deep voice:

"What are you all panicking about! So what if he's here, my Huang family is not to be slaughtered! This Chen Feng has fought a battle with the He family, he must be exhausted, yet he dares to continue to enter my Huang residence, obviously he's a reckless and foolish man, so he's not a threat. In my opinion, he's just throwing himself into the net. Let's go with me and see me scold this lawless and arrogant villain!"

With that, Huang Deqing supported himself with his cane, got up, left the main hall, and walked straight towards the front courtyard.

After hearing these words, many Huang family members also stabilized their minds, and all felt that it made sense, and followed Huang Deqing to the front.

Soon, the Huang family and his party walked through the halls and courtyards, and arrived at the steps of the front courtyard mansion. At a glance, they saw many Huang residence guards surrounding a burly man covered in dried blood. Seventeen or eight guards were already lying on the ground, and the two sides had clearly exchanged blows.

The numerous guards looked nervous, while the lonely burly man was strolling leisurely, at first glance, it was unclear which side was surrounding the other.

Seeing that there were many of his own people, Huang Deqing felt a little calmer, immediately stomped his cane, cleared his throat, and was about to give a long speech scolding:

"You are Chen Feng? Hmph, you look like a lawless and arrogant brute! My Huang family has been operating diligently for many years, you..."

Zhou Jing looked up at him, and without saying a word, used his toe to hook up a wooden club from the ground, grabbed it with his big hand, and threw it out violently.

Whoosh!

The wooden club flew out, and before anyone could react, it hit Huang Deqing, piercing through his chest!

His body was carried away by the tremendous force, and with a bang, he crashed into the doorpost, and the whole person hung on the wooden club that was nailed into the doorpost.

"Pfft!"

Huang Deqing spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his white beard red, and widened his eyes in disbelief.

He opened his mouth to say something, but then his head drooped and he died directly.

The Huang family members standing next to him never expected Zhou Jing to suddenly make such a move, and were immediately scared out of their wits.

These people disregarded their faces and fell to the ground, hurriedly arching their buttocks and fleeing to the inner house, fearing that they would also be shot to death with a club.

The many guards who saw this scene also shook their bodies, cold sweat broke out on their backs, and they subconsciously took a few steps back.

Zhou Jing shook his hand, expressionless:

"Noisy, did Grandpa come to listen to your nonsense?"

After saying that, he rushed forward with indomitable courage, and his spear was like a dragon, instantly setting off a bloody storm.

Seeing that many Huang family members had been lured out by him, Zhou Jing strode straight towards these people, smashing away the guards who blocked his path like waves.

He was like entering an uninhabited land, and in just a short while, he broke through the guards' formation and caught up with the group of Huang family members.

These people were in dire straits, and then they cried and begged for mercy, Zhou Jing mercilessly raised his spear and stabbed them to death one by one, killing them until the ground was covered in blood.

This time, he didn't stay in the front yard to contain them, but instead broke into the inner house from the main entrance, while Gao Yun and Fang Zhen still acted according to the previous plan and started to attack in the back house as well.

By attacking on both fronts, they wanted to speed up the efficiency.

They had already caused enough of a stir at the He residence, and the state capital soldiers would definitely be dispatched and were on their way, so now they no longer needed to entangle, but needed to be faster.

Swish swish swish

Zhou Jing ran wildly with his spear, flying over the walls and courtyards of the Huang residence, specifically searching for people dressed in luxurious clothes, his lonely spear shadow passing through the red ground, only taking the heads that fell from their necks.

If he didn't want to get entangled, these guards couldn't stop him at all, and couldn't even keep up with Zhou Jing's pace, and could only chase after him in a tired pursuit.

Even if they caught up, they would only leave behind more corpses.

Gradually, some guards and servants quietly fell behind and deserted... The masters had already lost their lives, who knew what would happen to the Huang family in the future, they didn't want to go up and die for a Huang family that might not even exist in the future.

The crowd chasing after him became increasingly sparse, and unknowingly, they had all dispersed. The huge Huang residence, for a time, had no guards at all, and they all fled in terror.

The Huang residence suffered a great change, and more and more onlookers gathered outside the gate, but no one dared to step into the Huang residence, and the crowd was in a commotion.

Let the noise be noisy and let the gentle breeze caress the world without contention

At this moment, a burst of dense footsteps came from the street.

Tap tap tap

Many people turned their heads to look, and it was Commander Deng leading a group of soldiers to arrive.

Hearing the continuous screams from inside the Huang residence, Commander Deng knew that the Huang family was in dire straits, but at least he had arrived in time to block the violent criminals who were committing the crime in the Huang residence.

Gu Yun

"Listen to my orders, surround the Huang residence, don't let the villains escape, and the rest will follow me in to arrest the wanted criminals!"

Commander Deng decisively gave the order.

Soon, these soldiers, under the command of the officers, divided into several teams, some blocking the gates, and some setting up defenses around the walls of the Huang residence.

Commander Deng, Instructor Hu, Sergeant Xie, and the two Captains Dong and Xue, led dozens of soldiers into the Huang residence and ran towards the backyard.

Corpses of guards were everywhere along the way, and from time to time they would encounter fleeing servants. Dozens of soldiers who followed in were sweating in their palms and panicking in their hearts.

This life-threatening Yama has attacked two families with hundreds of guards. His martial arts are so high that it's hard to imagine. Are we useful with just these few people?

At this time, Commander Deng realized that the morale was not high, and immediately shouted:

"With the five of us guarding the formation, it's not a problem to deal with this fierce man, what are you panicking about!"

Hearing his words, the soldiers barely stabilized their morale.

Commander Deng's expression remained unchanged, but he felt helpless in his heart.

At that time, when Prefect Lin ordered the five of them to set out, Zhou Jing had not yet finished attacking the He residence, so the information he received was limited.

Thinking that there was only one fierce man, and with the help of hundreds of guards from the He residence, Commander Deng and the other four only hastily gathered some soldiers and set off. The number was only about a hundred. He felt that Zhou Jing would likely fall in the He residence, and only wanted to arrive before things ended to make a contribution.

But when he led his men to the He residence that had suffered, and learned about Zhou Jing's performance from the people, he knew that things were not simple. As a precaution, he sent people to ask for reinforcements again, and brought more soldiers over, and specially instructed them to bring several teams of archers.

However, Zhou Jing's actions did not stop, and he turned around and attacked the Huang residence. Commander Deng had no time to wait for reinforcements, so he could only act hastily with the hundred or so soldiers around him.

However, he relied on his own martial prowess, and with the help of the four military experts Hu, Xie, Dong, and Xue, and also felt that Zhou Jing had been fighting for a long time and must be exhausted, and still felt that he would be able to capture him this time.

...

"Hmm? Another group of people?"

Zhou Jing poked down another Huang family member dressed as a wealthy man, glanced at the map radar, and found that a new group of small red dots had appeared around him. A part was surrounding the entire Huang residence from the outside, and the other dozens were approaching quickly.

The range of the map radar was not too large, and it did not identify friend or foe, only showing acquaintances as green dots, and unknown people as red dots.

"It should be the soldiers, they're finally here, but there aren't many people..."

Zhou Jing's eyes flashed, he turned and ran past several courtyards, following the map radar, and soon found Gao Yun and Fang Zhen who were also doing their work, and joined up with these two.

"Brother, are we going to retreat?"

Fang Zhen wiped the blood from his cheeks and asked.

Zhou Jing shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The soldiers are here, they are surrounding the Huang residence, and another group of pursuers has entered the residence. You two follow me to meet them and test the quality of this group of soldiers."

Fang Zhen had no objections and immediately agreed.

Gao Yun hesitated slightly, after all, he had once been a respectable person, and instinctively dared not fight against the soldiers, but when he thought of the situation the three of them were in at this time, he hardened his heart and nodded with gritted teeth.

At this time, Gao Yun suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I just interrogated a few Huang family members. The Huang family's old master is not at home, he seems to have gone to the Spring Rain Tower for a banquet."

"It's a pity, let this old dog escape!"

Fang Zhen said indignantly.

Zhou Jing frowned, and then relaxed, "That's not necessarily... but we'll talk about it later, let's meet the soldiers first."

The two nodded in agreement.

The three of them went all the way forward, and soon in a backyard, they ran into Commander Deng leading the soldiers.

As soon as he saw the three of them, Commander Deng's eyes lit up, and he shouted:

"Villains, stop!"

Many soldiers immediately surrounded them, and Hu, Xie, Dong, Xue and others rushed up with their weapons, and Commander Deng also rushed towards the three of them with a steel spear.

When the two sides met, there was nothing to say, and they started fighting as soon as they met.

"Good! Let Grandpa try what's different about the imperial army!"

Zhou Jing said in a stern voice, and with a flick of his spear, he immediately shattered a soldier's breastplate, sending him flying out and smashing the flower bed next to the house.

At this time, Sergeant Xie, holding two steel whips, rushed to Zhou Jing's face and shouted:

"You are the life-threatening Yama, Chen Feng? Take my whip!"

His double whips rotated, whistling through the air, like the sound of wind and thunder.

Clang clang clang

Zhou Jing held his spear horizontally to parry, and successively blocked Xie's swirling steel whips, his body standing still. Then he shook his hand violently, the spear shaft bent into an arc, and the spear tip popped out with a bang.

Bang!

Xie braced his double whips, suddenly his face changed drastically, the whole person staggered back, his arms trembling non-stop, almost unable to hold the weapons, and his tiger's mouth had already burst open, blood flowing like a column.

"What kind of strength is this?!"

After receiving only one move, he was almost exhausted, and Xie was immediately horrified.

Although he had heard the onlookers talk about Chen Feng's martial prowess before, he didn't feel much of it. Now that he had personally fought him, he realized the horror of this life-threatening Yama.

"Brother Xie, I'll help you!"

At this moment, Captain Dong and Captain Xue each held a broadsword, and led the soldiers from both sides to flank Zhou Jing.

Seeing this, Xie naturally couldn't back down, cheered up and joined the battle again, and joined forces with the two captains to fight with Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing faced him without changing his expression, and his murderous aura skyrocketed rapidly.

On the other side, Fang Zhen intercepted Instructor Hu, one using an iron-headed stick, and the other using a steel knife, clanging and fighting together.

Fang Zhen was known as the Mountain-Turning Tai Sui, and his skills were not weak. He was good at sticks and whips, while Instructor Hu, as a master in the army, honed his knife skills every day, and his martial arts were also extraordinary.

The two were evenly matched, and for a while, it was difficult to tell the winner, and it would not be possible to tell the winner without thirty or fifty rounds.

Not far away, Gao Yun blocked Commander Deng, the red-tasseled ring gun and the steel spear came and went, like two pythons, whipping their bodies and cracking each other.

Both of them used spears, Gao Yun's spear skills were overbearing, and Commander Deng's demeanor was stern, each using their proficient spear skills. They saw the spear shadows crisscrossing the field, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten moves had passed, and it was difficult to tell the winner.

"This man's spear skills are so extraordinary!"

Commander Deng felt quite strenuous and felt dangerous, and couldn't help but feel shocked.

He didn't expect Chen Feng's companion to have such superb martial arts, he was definitely not a nobody in the martial world!

"Who are you?!" Commander Deng couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.

"Survive under my spear before asking other questions!"

Gao Yun snorted coldly, didn't report his name, and the red-tasseled spear in his hand became more and more fierce, and the light of the spear bloomed all over the field.

Commander Deng's expression sank, and he was about to cheer up and fight.

Whoosh!

But at this moment, a figure suddenly flew over diagonally, passed through the two of them, and crashed into the courtyard wall with a bang.

Snap! It was as if a rotten tomato had been hit, and a large area of ​​bright red instantly bloomed on the white wall.

Gao Yun and Commander Deng were both startled, and hurriedly took two steps back, turning their heads to look.

Seeing the appearance of the figure clearly, Commander Deng's face changed drastically.

"Brother Xie!"

The person who flew out was Sergeant Xie, and he hit his head on the wall, already dying.

Wasn't he just fighting Chen Feng with his brothers Dong and Xue, how long has it been since they fought, and he was killed?!

Commander Deng's breathing stagnated, and he suddenly felt a sense of ominousness, and hurriedly looked in Zhou Jing's direction.

This look almost made his heart stop.

I saw that Captain Dong and Captain Xue had already been killed on the spot, one with his head pierced, and the other smashed into two pieces, both of them dying miserably.

At the same time, the soldiers who were besieging Zhou Jing had also fallen in a circle, and there were not many left, panicking.

Only Zhou Jing was as if nothing had happened, as if he had only done something insignificant.

Commander Deng broke out in cold sweat in an instant.

They, five military experts, had sparred privately, and he was clear about the martial arts of Xie, Dong, and Xue. Even if he did it himself, it would take at least thirty or forty rounds to take down one person.

And the combined force of these three was not comparable to a one-on-one, even he dared not say that he could win... But how long has it been since Chen Feng killed all three of them?!

Commander Deng felt an uncontrollable shock and horror, and roared in his heart.

How high is this life-threatening Yama's martial arts?!

He had already tried to overestimate him, but he didn't expect that he was still judging wrong... The rumor that this person can fight a hundred enemies is indeed wrong, it's not an exaggeration, but it's obviously underestimating this life-threatening Yama's martial power, he is simply invincible!

"Run!"

Commander Deng decisively threw down the soldiers and ignored them, and jumped over the wall and fled on the spot.

Gao Yun was also stunned by Zhou Jing's skills, and when he saw this, he quickly came back to his senses and wanted to stop Commander Deng, but he was a step late, and the quick-reacting officer turned out of the yard and ran away.

On the other side, Instructor Hu saw that the situation was not good, his heart was shocked, and he also wanted to run away, but his moves and techniques were therefore messed up. Fang Zhen seized the opportunity and hit his shoulder and back with a stick, breaking his bones with a crack.

"Ah yo!" Instructor Hu screamed in pain, his weapon fell out of his hand, and the whole person fell to the ground, being pressed on the ground by Fang Zhen with a stick, unable to move.

The remaining soldiers saw that the leading officers were dead or fled, and they suddenly lost their fighting spirit and collapsed and fled, turning around and running away.

"The imperial army is nothing more than that!" Fang Zhen snorted.

Zhou Jing didn't pay attention to him, and didn't chase, but walked to Instructor Hu, grabbed his collar, dragged him in front of him, and said in a deep voice:

"Do you want to live or die?"

"Hero! I'm just acting under orders, please spare my life!"

Instructor Hu's eyes widened, and he hurriedly begged for mercy, regretting greatly for wading into this muddy water.

Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes:

"Then you better cooperate..."
