If these people were to form an army, he wouldn't be able to succeed so easily.
I also want to thank the other side for rushing over without bringing many of their equipment; otherwise, if we had faced them on the main battlefield, they could have used their drums to counter Daji's Demonic Enchanting Voice.
The drums used in the military and government were specially made with magic arrays engraved on them. In addition, their extremely loud sound, full of killing intent, was just right to counter Daji's demonic enchantment.
The soldiers of Yunzhong County looked at each other in bewilderment. Now that their leader had been captured like a chicken, how could they possibly fight this battle?
Having witnessed Zu An's ghostly movements and his instant subjugation of Dong Jin, coupled with the watchful eyes of the Imperial Envoy on the other side and the unfathomable Golden Embroidered Robe, everyone felt a sense of trepidation.
Instinctively, I wanted to lay down my weapon, but then someone shouted again, "Don't believe him! Picking up your weapon gives you a glimmer of hope, but laying it down means certain death. Have you forgotten the battles you've fought against the demon race all these years?"
Everyone felt a chill, only then remembering that when fighting the demon race, the other side would initially claim that surrender would not result in death, but once they actually laid down their weapons, they were basically at the mercy of others.
Later on, when they captured demons, they did the same thing: first, they would lie to them to lay down their weapons, and then find an opportunity to kill them one by one.
Over time, people stopped believing such statements.
Zuan narrowed his eyes. He noticed that these were the guys in the crowd who had been stirring things up, otherwise the two sides wouldn't have started fighting.
These individuals were clearly more powerful than the other soldiers around them. The others were still dazed from Daji's enchanting voice, but they had fully regained their senses.
He threw Dong Jin into the ranks of the Imperial Guards and then lunged at them in an instant.
Sang Hong clearly had the same idea and rushed towards the group as well.
"Murder! Murder!" the men shouted in panic, brandishing their knives in defense.
Unfortunately, their cultivation levels were far inferior to Dong Jin's, so they were no match for Zu An and his companion.
They were subdued almost in the blink of an eye.
Sang Hong was slightly shocked. He only managed to subdue one of them; the remaining four were all subdued by Zu An.
Even though I'm farther away, the comparison is still too exaggerated.
Just then, he heard Zu'an exclaim, "Dead?"
He hurriedly looked at the person in his hand and found black blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had committed suicide by biting into poison.
"A suicide soldier!" Sang Hong's heart skipped a beat. He had just subdued the other party, which proved that the other party had bitten off the poison hidden in his teeth at the same time the two pounced on them. He wondered what kind of force could cultivate such a mentality and ferocity.
The original plan was to capture several people and interrogate them to find out who was behind it, but now it seems that all their efforts have been in vain.
Meanwhile, the other soldiers were kept in the dark. They only saw two men rush towards several of their colleagues, who were then killed instantly. Coupled with the shouts of "murder! murder!" they had just heard, they instinctively assumed that Zu'an and Sang Hong were responsible.
So one by one, they instinctively picked up weapons, and a chaotic battle seemed imminent.
Just then, an urgent voice rang out: "Stop! Stop!"
A group of people came running from a distance, and the one in the lead was Prefect Xu Yu.
He rushed to the middle and blocked the people on both sides. Seeing the mess on the ground and the badly injured Dong Jin, he couldn't help but cry out, "What is this? What is this all about?"
Sang Hong said coldly, "Lord Xu, you've come at the right time. Is your Yunzhong County planning a rebellion?"
Now that they have the situation under control, if the other party gives even the slightest wrong answer, he wouldn't hesitate to purge the entire officialdom of Yunzhong County.
Over the years, he has been known behind his back by his colleagues in the court as a cold-faced devil, but he has never been a soft-hearted person.
