Chapter 131 (Exclusive Publication on Jinjiang Literature City): Smash the gambling den, kill the county magistrate! ...
Inside the headquarters of the South City gambling den.
Feng Hu kicked over the table and chairs in front of him, his expression ferocious as he said, "Those bastards from Yunlu Village! It wasn't enough that they helped those old geezers in the west of the city and those few unscrupulous merchants surnamed Wang; they even brought a bunch of lowly commoners along. They're clearly deliberately going against me!"
Because of the strange vehicle and the flying plank provided by Yunlu Village, most of the supplies in the north of the city have already been moved out.
The lion's share went to the local gentry and wealthy merchants, while they, who should have had the upper hand, only managed to grab a tiny fraction. How could he swallow this insult?
If he doesn't deal with the people of Yunlu Village, how will he establish his authority in the city?
Feng Hu, his face contorted with anger, asked his subordinate, "What did the county government say?"
The subordinate said, "The old county magistrate said we can join forces, but he wants us to find a way to get the person he wants and send him over."
Feng Hu's eyelids twitched: "Which types of people does he want?"
The subordinate said, "It's that woman named Su Ying, who is the most beautiful in Yunlu Village, and the younger brother of that kid surnamed Lu."
Feng Hu spat and said disdainfully, "What kind of time is this to still be thinking about such low-class matters!"
At the same time, Feng Hu also felt a little displeased.
He had heard from his men that the woman named Su Ying was no less beautiful than the top courtesan in the brothel beside him.
He was also somewhat interested in that woman. He had originally planned to bring her over for his own enjoyment after dealing with those guys from Yunlu Village who had provoked him, but that old bastard had intercepted her again!
But thinking of the old man's trump cards, Feng Hu suppressed his displeasure.
He seemed to remember something and said, "Doesn't that guy surnamed Lu have an older sister? Arrest them together, keep her for me, and you can have the other women."
The other subordinates in the hall immediately cheered and eagerly asked, "Boss, when do we make our move?"
Feng Hu's eyes hardened. "The longer we wait, the more things might go wrong. Let's do it tomorrow! Have the county government prepare the manpower as soon as possible. As soon as the able-bodied men of Yunlu Village step out of their houses tomorrow, they'll go and arrest all the old, weak, and women! With hostages, we won't have to worry about them not acting recklessly."
When the time comes, I'll torture them thoroughly first, letting them experience what it's like to be in a living hell, to vent his anger from the past few days.
After that, kill all the able-bodied men and take all the supplies from them. Let's see if anyone dares to oppose our Tianhai Casino again!
East of the city.
The villagers, listening to the conversation between Feng Hu and his men, which Lu Xuan had deliberately amplified, were so angry that their faces turned ashen.
"These bastards!" Xiong Mao, whose wife was mentioned, was the first to erupt in anger, his eyes bloodshot with rage. He roared menacingly, "What kind of damn county magistrate dares to lay a finger on my wife? I'll kill him—!!!"
Su Ying, the person involved, spat in disgust, "I'd be disgusted even if that old beast were to carry my shoes. A toad trying to eat swan meat, bah!"
"He's dreaming if he thinks he can take the elderly, women, and children hostage!"
"If I had known, I should have dealt with them all a few days ago in the north of the city!"
They thought Zhou Chenghai was disgusting enough, but they didn't expect Feng Hu to be even worse.
Even the usually law-abiding villagers of X were so angry, not to mention the viewers in the live stream.
Although Feng Hu did not explicitly state what the county magistrate intended to do with Lu Chen, considering that the old man was most notorious for his lust, what else could he possibly want from Lu Chen?
[You old bastard, you disgusting pedophile, get the hell out of here!]
[If I could get there, I'd personally go and chop them up and feed them to the dogs!]
[One's eyeing Lu Chen's younger brother, and the other's set on his older sister. Do they really think the streamer is an easy target?]
[You've really messed with the streamer! He's going to kill them!!!]
Lu Xuan, who originally had no intention of interfering, casually tossed aside the remote control, stood up with a chilling aura emanating from him, and the slight pressure he exuded caused his trench coat to flutter loudly.
Should we start tomorrow?
Lu Xuan chuckled lightly; he would take care of everyone today.
Lu Xuan walked out without looking back. The angry young men immediately understood that he was going to take action personally, and followed him without hesitation.
Among them, besides Xiong Mao, Lei Yan was the fastest to act.
No man can remain indifferent after finding out that his wife is being coveted.
If he does, then he's not a real man at all!
Li Jing and Li Tuo, along with Wu Yang, followed closely behind, taking out alloy crossbows from their spatial storage, nocking arrows, and preparing to fire.
...
At that time, Feng Hu was talking to his men about how to teach the local gentry and wealthy merchants a lesson after they dealt with Yunlu Village. Just as they were getting into the conversation, a loud noise suddenly came from outside.
Startled, Feng Hu jumped to his feet. "What was that sound?!"
"No, boss! Someone has broken in!" came a panicked report from outside.
Feng Hu flew into a rage, glaring at the table and slamming his fist on the table, shouting, "Who dares to trespass on my territory! Grab your weapons and come with me to meet them!"
Feng Hu led dozens of his men to the front yard, only to be shocked to find the imposing wooden gate lying on the ground. The young men of Yunlu Village, whose numbers and imposing presence were no less than theirs, rushed into the yard with fierce expressions.
"What are you going to do—" Before the word "what" could be finished, Lu Xuan, with his cold demeanor, shouted "Attack!" The young men, who were seething with anger, roared and launched their attack.
The body-enhancing ability users unleashed their fury, delivering devastating blows to the hideous thugs.
The other superpowered individuals also displayed their abilities without restraint, with fireballs, wind blades, and earth spikes being used in turn.
Those without special abilities joined Wu Yang in ranged attacks, shooting down anyone who tried to get close!
With multiple methods combined, the gambling den's thugs were utterly defeated, and the courtyard was soon filled with screams and wails.
One thug after another fell swiftly under the attack of Yunlu Village. Even those who were lucky enough to fall before the first move were terrified by the strange methods displayed by the superhumans, leaving them with no thought of resistance.
Feng Hu was both terrified by the horrific methods used by Yunlu Village and furious that his men had been killed without any resistance.
Noticing that Lu Xuan was standing alone at the back of the melee, without any protection, a murderous intent instantly surged in his eyes, which were filled with resentment.
He was the one who caused the strange wind in the north of the city, and the fact that the other villagers suddenly learned those magic-like attack methods must also be his doing.
Once we kill him, I don't believe anyone else will be able to act so arrogantly!
Feng Hu gripped his machete tightly and charged toward Lu Xuan with murderous intent. When someone tried to attack him, he grabbed a nearby subordinate and used him as a shield.
Zhang Chengming, Xiong Mao, and the others noticed Feng Hu's movements and originally wanted to come over to intercept him, but when they saw Lu Xuan wave his hand to indicate that they didn't need to worry about it, they turned around and continued to deal with the others.
Feng Hu, believing himself to be invincible, confidently charged to a position just steps away from Lu Xuan, grinning maliciously and shouting, "Die!" as he raised his machete...
The tall body crashed heavily to the ground without warning.
The triple gravity pressed down on Feng Hu, rendering him unable to move, struggling to breathe, and causing his bones to groan in pain. He could no longer maintain his arrogant expression.
Feng Hu tried to struggle to get up.
The more he moved, the more intense the suffocating feeling of being pressed down by an invisible weight became. His internal organs ruptured and bled under the constant pressure, causing Feng Hu to vomit blood incessantly, and his face quickly turned ashen.
Lu Xuan stomped on his head and ground it down hard, his eyes flashing with cold light, his tone calm yet dangerous: "Isn't it good to be alive?"
Was it because he didn't kill the gambling den's thugs directly beforehand that he gave Feng Hu the wrong impression that he wouldn't dare to do anything to him?
How dare you make a move on Lu Qing and Lu Chen? Do you have a death wish?
Feng Hu was terrified by his strange state, but the humiliation of having his head stepped on still made him furious. He threatened while spitting blood, "I'm warning you, let me go right now! If you dare touch me, the county government will not let you off the hook."
Lu Xuan chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, that old geezer from the county government will be going down to join you soon, so go die in peace."
As he spoke, he increased the pressure under his feet and stomped down hard. With a 'plop' sound, Feng Hu's head was crushed like a watermelon by Lu Xuan, splattering a large amount of blood and turning into a bloody mess of mangled flesh.
The powerful boss who had been terrorizing the county town for over two months was so easily crushed by Lu Xuan.
Some of the thugs who happened to witness this scene were terrified, and their shrill screams instantly pierced the night sky.
"The boss is dead—!"
"Monster, monster—!"
"Run, run fast—!"
"Don't kill me! I surrender—!"
The remaining thugs, seeing their leader utterly destroyed at Lu Xuan's feet, knew the situation was hopeless. Their morale plummeted, and they fled for the door in a panic.
Before Zhang Chengming and the others could stop them, Lu Xuan snapped his fingers expressionlessly. A dozen or so blood-sucking vines surged out from behind him, instantly binding all the thugs who were trying to escape. The tips of the vines pierced through their chests with a 'plop plop' sound.
The thugs only managed a short, muffled groan before they were completely dead.
Live stream viewers: !!! !!! Exciting!
Less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea has passed since they burst through the gate. All of Feng Hu's thugs, as well as the reinforcements who arrived later, were dealt with. A strong stench of blood filled the courtyard.
Everyone in Yunlu Village had blood splattered all over their bodies and faces. Standing in the dim moonlight and drizzle, they looked like a group of deranged killers, and the scene was quite terrifying.
The able-bodied men naturally saw each other's faces, and also saw the thugs on the ground, most of whom were already dead.
A small number of people will inevitably feel a little trembling when experiencing something like this for the first time.
But if you ask them if they regret it?
The answer is, absolutely not!
Your own wife/daughter/sister is being targeted by a group of shameless people, and your own life is being used as a tool to make an example of them. Do you regret it? They would love to chop you all up and feed you to the dogs!
The viewers in the live stream watched from beginning to end and didn't find the villagers ruthless at all. On the contrary, they were quite satisfied that the villagers didn't hold back this time.
No, it couldn't be said that I was soft-hearted in the past.
The reason we only beat them up before was because the people at the gambling den didn't intend to kill them. This time, the people at the gambling den really wanted to kill the villagers, so there was no need to hold back. We had to kill them without hesitation!
Having witnessed Feng Hu and his henchmen all dead, the audience's anger finally subsided considerably. As for why not all of them, it's because there were still some people whose problems hadn't been solved.
Lu Xuan burned Feng Hu's body and said to the others, "You guys collect the gambling den's supplies and look for any remaining criminals. I'm going to the county government."
Xiong Mao quickly replied, "I'll go with you!"
The old county magistrate has his eye on his wife. Even if he can't do it himself, he wants to watch the other party die!
Lu Xuan said, "Then you follow me." After saying that, he left the gambling den's headquarters first.
...
When Lu Xuan arrived at the county government office and found the old county magistrate, the latter was having a night of passion with two women in the backyard.
"Ah—!" The two concubines screamed instinctively when they saw the person who suddenly barged in.
The old county magistrate, who was in the middle of a lively conversation, was startled and exclaimed in anger, "How dare you! Who are you! How did you barge in?"
The audience was so shocked to see that ugly, flashy old man's disgusting antics that they almost threw up their dinner from the night before.
Lu Xuan casually rolled up the blanket on the bed to block the screaming concubine, and without saying a word, he used his wind-type ability to grind the old county magistrate's rotten cucumber into a bloody mist.
"Ah—!" The old county magistrate screamed in agony, clutching his throbbing pain, his wrinkled face contorted in agony. "You bastard! I'll kill you! Guards—uh!!!"
Before he could finish his last sentence, blood gushed from the gaping wound on his neck. His withered, aged body shuddered violently and collapsed weakly onto the bed.
The concubine, who had been quietly uncovering the bedding, was sprayed with blood in her face and screamed again before fainting on the spot.
When Xiong Mao arrived, he saw the old county magistrate lying on the ground with his face covered in blood, and he was immediately filled with regret.
Just then, hurried footsteps and exclamations came from outside.
"grown ups!"
"What happened?!"
Who are you people?!
Xiong Mao quickly straightened up again.
Since the old county magistrate can't be killed with his own hands, let's take our anger out on these bullies who are just using the tiger's power!
Before long, the officials and bodyguards who had been attracted by the commotion at the old county magistrate's place were also dealt with by Lu Xuan and Xiong Mao, including the two clerks and the head bodyguard Zhang whom they had met before.
Actually, it was Lu Xuan who mainly took action. Xiong Mao's superpower was too low, and he had already exhausted almost all of his abilities at the gambling den, so he could only do some finishing blows.
After confirming that everyone had been dealt with, the two began looting the county government's supplies.
Miao An said that among the four major forces, the wealthy merchants had the most resources, but in reality, the county government was no less powerful.
The government office already had a granary specifically for unforeseen needs, and the grain in the warehouse was almost piled up like a mountain.
In addition, there were many useful supplies looted after the earthquake, including food, salt, dried vegetables, cloth, and various precious gold and silver jewelry that were no longer needed in the chaos of war, as well as antiques, calligraphy and paintings, writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, etc. The quantity was so large that it still couldn't be filled even after filling several thousand cubic meters of space.
Lu Xuan even found a small box of thunderbolts, which were rudimentary versions of bombs. They weren't particularly powerful, but in ancient times they were definitely considered formidable weapons.
The reason why the old man can indulge in women all day long without worrying about his power being overthrown is probably because of this thing.
However, this thing wasn't very valuable to Lu Xuan. When he achieved the achievement last time, the shop finally unlocked several kinds of firearms, including small bombs, which were much stronger and more stable than the Thunderclap Bomb.
[Tsk! That old scoundrel has managed to amass so many supplies!]
In the end, it all benefits the streamer!
Lu Xuan separated the space filled with supplies and said, "Who said I was going to keep these supplies for myself?"
Audience: ?
[If you don't keep it yourself, are you going to give it away?]
Lu Xuan did not answer. Instead, he gathered all the corpses in the county government office together, burned them all, and then went back with Xiong Mao to meet up with the others.
...
The commotion at the gambling den and the county government office was bound to attract the attention of two other forces.
The agents of both factions witnessed the group from Yunlu Village storming into the gambling den's headquarters. Soon after, they heard fierce fighting and chilling screams coming from inside. Some people saw through the wall that lightning would flash inside, and then a huge, strange snake would wave in mid-air, which looked very terrifying.
Soon, the county government office also became a scene of commotion.
The same 'strange snakes' appeared, and the same constant screams made the nails outside shudder. They dared not approach, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.
Only after the people of Yunlu Village left did he muster the courage to sneak in and investigate, and the result...
The local gentry and high-ranking members of the wealthy business community, who were woken from their beds, demanded, "What did you see?"
Nail, covered in sweat, said, "There's nothing here except for the blood that hasn't been washed away by the rain."
"No body?"
"We didn't find a single one. The only survivors were some innocent women and odd-job workers. They didn't dare to approach the front yard during the fight and have no idea what happened."
Almost simultaneously, the words 'destroy the body and cover up the evidence' appeared in the minds of all the high-ranking members of the various factions.
According to Dingzi, the people from Yunlu Village did not stay for long.
With so many people in the gambling den, even if they could kill everyone in a short time, how could they dispose of the bodies without leaving a trace in such a short time?
Not to mention those things like lightning and strange snakes, just hearing about them sends chills down your spine, and you can't figure out what kind of methods they use.
"So, Feng Hu, the county magistrate, Chief Escort Zhang, the two advisors... and all those thugs are dead?"
"Since we didn't see them run out, and we didn't find anyone inside, they're probably dead."
The leaders of both factions fell into a deathly silence.
The gambling dens and the county government acted recklessly and were annoying. It would be a lie to say that they were unhappy to learn that the other party had been wiped out.
But being wiped out so easily, they were somewhat terrified.
Wealthy businessmen, especially those with ulterior motives, are understandably worried that the people of Yunlu Village might go berserk and turn on them next.
Landlord Liu swallowed hard. "I think... we were just a little greedy, unlike Feng Hu who has many lives on his hands, and we didn't rob women like the county magistrate. We don't deserve to die."
It's not that they don't appreciate beautiful women, but they have plenty of resources. They could easily offer themselves to women, so there's no need for coercion or that twisted, tasteless act of trying to conquer the toughest of them.
Mr. Wang sighed, "We think it's useless; we need to see what Yunlu Village thinks."
They soon found out what Yunlu Village, or rather Lu Xuan, was thinking.
Because early the next morning, villagers came to deliver a message, inviting two influential people from different factions to have dinner in the east of the city.
The leaders of both factions felt a chill run down their spines.
Oh no! It actually happened!
Should they have written their wills in advance?
