"Heh, this is really interesting. We clearly said that not a single person should be allowed to leave alive, so why are there so many people here? Who is in charge of this area? Do they have a death wish?"
Amidst a voice tinged with interest, a martial artist led a blood-soaked slaughter team over. He looked at them with a mixture of interest and cruelty.
Those who saw him naturally recognized him, especially the few martial artists who had been recruited, who pointed out his identity with great fear.
The fourth leader of the Buffalo Gang is a martial arts master who just entered the ranks this year. But even though he just entered, he is not comparable to this small group of martial artists, most of whom are ordinary people.
The martial artist was determined to escape, and those who recognized the martial artist's movements were even more frantically fleeing in all directions, and the group seemed on the verge of disintegrating.
But then the scholar spoke up. His voice wasn't loud, but it was clear to the group that had already obeyed him. The people calmed down, and a few martial artists stopped in their tracks. Those who tried to escape were killed by a few stones, their blood splattering on the spot.
"My name is Li Zhengyuan, the tenth-ranked student in the county examination of Qingmang County. I am also the study companion of Niu Anqing, the young master of the Niu family, and his companion when he went to the prefectural examination in April."
Li Zhengyuan slowly walked up to the martial arts master, bowing humbly. His introduction was also very targeted: the Water Buffalo Gang belonged to the Niu family. He introduced the Niu family's movement techniques, and the other party's eyes changed accordingly.
"You're Li Zhengyuan? Tenth in the imperial examination? Are you famous? The study companion of the Niu family? How come I didn't know you were just trying to trick me to save your own life!"
For martial artists, literature is clearly not their primary concern, but the fact that they did not immediately take action suggests that the other party is not entirely indifferent to it.
"My rank is insignificant, and naturally I am not worthy of being remembered by the Martial Master. However, I can guarantee that everything I have said is true. If I have uttered any falsehoods, may the Dao Venerable bear witness, and I shall be condemned to eternal damnation!"
Li Zhengyuan calmly presented his evidence, immediately revealing some information about the Niu family and some secrets about Niu Anqing's family situation.
The martial arts master knew that Li Zhengyuan's words, which sounded genuine and included a Daoist oath, were true. He should understand that lying would only delay his death, and make it worse.
"If that's the case, I can spare your life, but you should leave these people alone."
The martial arts master decided to give his family face, but Li Zhengyuan shook his head.
“I brought these people here and I can survive on my own. Moreover, I promised them that we would live together and die together.”
"Master Martial Arts, you are esteemed. These people are nothing but ants to you. It is an act of virtue to refrain from killing. Could you please do me this favor?"
After saying this, the martial arts master smiled, and then Li Zhengyuan was sent flying, landing heavily on the rubble, bleeding profusely, breathing weakly, and with unfocused eyes.
"I gave you a chance to live and you didn't cherish it, then we'll die together! Do you really think you're nothing, just a mere student? Even if you were a scholar, I'd crush you with one foot!"
However, some bastards dared to be so arrogant! The martial arts master was furious and killed the whole group, but at that moment, a voice stopped him.
Wait a minute!
