Chapter 118

Fat Four was a fierce northern man, over 1.9 meters in height. He was fat, but he was not flippant. He was very strong.

However, when he rushed in, he was almost unable to stand, and blood splattered all the way down his body.

At first glance, it was impossible to tell how many wounds there were on his body and how many cuts there were on his clothes. It was very easy to tell that these wounds were caused by sharp blades.

He held the medallion in one hand and the muscles in his arms were stretched taut.

He had a madman on his back, his other hand behind his back.

As An Zeng rushed over, he saw a deep wound on the arm of Fatty Si, who was holding the Golden Three Token. The flesh was split open to the sides, revealing the white bones inside.

He clenched his teeth and brought back the Golden Three Token and Madman Qu while covered in wounds like this.

The moment he saw An Zaiyue, Fatty could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.

Qu Liuxi rushed out of the room and quickly took out the medicine box.

“”My master was knocked unconscious. He carried it in to rest and to bandage his wounds.””

“”Fatty Four’s body is full of injuries. Deal with it first, there are no internal injuries.””

“”Golden Three Token...””

An Zizheng’s heart immediately sank when he saw Qu Liuxi’s hand tremble.

“”How is he?””

“”He’s … dead.””

Qu Liuxi’s face was as pale as paper, and her hands were shaking nonstop.

She had treated many people in these years, but this was the first time she had seen someone from her sect die.

The wounds on Jin San’s body were many, twice as many as those on Fatty Si.

His body was almost cut off, and the deep cuts on his body were chilling.

The deadliest wound was in his neck and heart, a knife that cut through his throat and arteries, a knife that pierced his heart.

“”Save him.””

An Zeng knelt down on one knee, his eyes red as he stared at the corpse of the Golden Three Token.

Qu Liuxi powerlessly shook her head. “”I can’t save him, even if it’s a Violet grade divine medicine.””

An Zeng sat on the floor with a dispirited look in his eyes.

After a moment, he stood up and strode out, “”Treat Madman and Fatty.””

Thin Du was worried about him so he quickly chased after him.

But they were stopped by the strife, which kept him at home.

Gu Qianye picked up a sabre from the weapon rack and followed behind An Zhe out of the gate. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

Just as he reached the entrance, Liu Suo arrived with a group of constables.

Liu Suifeng was so tired that he was panting heavily, and his face was covered in sweat.

When he saw An Zaiyue leave, he hurriedly ran over to stop him. “”Master An, Master An, listen to me. This matter exceeded my expectations.””

“”Master An, don’t leave yet. Listen to my explanation.””

An Zeng stopped and looked at Liu Yi coldly, “”I gave him to you. You said that you would send him back to me at night.””

Now that he’s back and his body’s almost mashed, how do you want to explain it to me? “”

Liu Suifeng gasped for breath and said, “”I didn’t expect that group of people to be so crazy. The Prefect specifically asked me to teach them a lesson and warn them not to cause trouble earlier.””

However, no one would have thought that they would be so daring as to bribe some underworld people to attack them on the way.

Let me look into this, okay?

“”Rest assured, Master An, I will definitely give you an explanation.””

An Zhan stared straight into Liu Yuan’s eyes and said, “”I’ll take your explanation later. Now tell me, who did they buy?””

Liu Yi was stunned. “”I … don’t know?””

An Zaiyue reached out his hand to grab Liu Suifeng’s clothes and lifted him up, “”You already know that group of people bought the killer just when something happened. Don’t you know who they bought it from?””

“”I gave you face and told you to take them away, but now they’re back. Aren’t you going to give me an explanation? Now tell me who the killers are!””

It was not that he did not want to say it, it was because he did not know who those people had bribed.

An Zeng was like a wild beast. He knew that once he started talking recklessly, tonight, blood would rain and the wind would blow in Fang Gengcheng.

With his understanding of the struggle for peace, he did not hesitate to turn the entire Fang family over for his own people.

“”Grandfather An, listen to me. This matter needs to be handled by the magistrate court. The Prefect has already rushed over to the magistrate court.””

“”Since you don’t want to say it, then I’ll look for it myself.””

An Xuan casually tossed Liu Suo to the side. “”You said I would only kill the people who did it.””

“”If you don’t tell me, I’ll find out how to kill each and every one of you.””

Liu Suifeng was on the verge of tears. He hugged An Zhe’s legs and didn’t dare to let go. “”I beg you, Master An, I beg you, I beg you, please don’t make a move tonight.””

Leave this matter to the Prefect, he will definitely give you an explanation.

“”It’s an eventful day right now, so Fang Shoucheng can’t have any more mishaps. Otherwise, there’s no way the Prefect would be able to explain this to the imperial government.””

“”This has nothing to do with me. I only want the killer.””

Liu Suifeng hoarsely shouted, “”Master An, don’t be rash. Those people are definitely hiding somewhere. It’s not easy to find them.””

An Zaihai strode out, “”Regarding this matter, the Fang family shall ignore it.””

He followed the trail of blood until he was about two miles away from the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect. There were even more traces of blood on the ground.

Fatty Si’s martial arts were not ordinary. Although he could not cultivate, his physical arts were already very strong.

Although he was severely injured, his speed was not slow in the beginning as he ran the two miles with all his might.

Moreover, the people chasing them were targeting the Golden Three Token, so they didn’t chase them down.

An Zaihai looked around, as if he saw the scene of a group of assassins besieging Fatty Si and Jin San Fu.

He looked around carefully and saw blood stains in other directions. Then, he continued to chase the trail of blood.

Liu Suifeng chased after him, “”Master An, this matter is not simple. Those assassins might have a strong background. Otherwise, who would dare to kill someone in the capital?””

An Zaiyue ignored him and continued to look around while walking forward.

Liu followed behind him, “”Master An, I know you feel bad, but you have to think about it.

After all, you have just come to the capital from outside the city, so you don’t know much about it.

At times like these, those who were not allowed to see the light of day were even more difficult to deal with than the ones who appeared on the surface.

“”You have a boundless future in the Military Department. Why did you have to give up your future because of this?””

As An Zhan walked, he said, “”I don’t want the future. I want those who kill me to die.””

Liu Yuan knew that he couldn’t persuade them to fight, so he hurriedly sent people back to Fang Shoufu to inform the Prefect Xu Zhengsheng.

An Zaiyue nodded to Gu Qianye, before quietly leaving.

An hour later, Gu Qianye returned, whispering into An Zaihe’s ear, “”I followed Liu Suifeng’s men back to the Fang Guang Manor, and not long after that Xu Zhengsheng sent people out to leave the court. I followed that person along the way, and it was either to the place where the people who had broken the porcelain were staying, or to where the assassins were.””

Ang nodded. “”Let’s go.””

Gu Qianye rushed out, following closely behind her.

Liu Suo did not know what the two of them had said, so he could not chase after them even if he wanted to.

Gu Qianye brought An Zaiyue across a few streets and arrived outside an inn.

An Xuan pushed open the door and went in. The innkeeper and the clerk were in a panic in the room.

“”Where is he?””

Anjou asked.

The innkeeper kneeled down. “”My lord, please do not drag the matter in the martial arts world into your small business. We are only a small business. We do not dare to provoke people in the martial arts world like you.””

An Zizheng took out a silver note and handed it to the inn owner. “”This silver is enough for you to live a peaceful life. Tell me where those people went. You will leave Fang Shoucheng early tomorrow and come back in a year and a half.””

The shop owner wanted to refuse, but he couldn’t resist seeing the number on the banknotes. He took the banknotes and pointed towards the door, “”We’re over there. This is all I can tell you.””

An Zaiyue clasped his hands and said, “”Thank you.””

He turned around and rushed out, running along the street with Gu Qianye.

After running for about three miles, they saw several carriages galloping forward.

An Xuan rushed directly to the front of the first horse carriage, then grabbed the reins and pressed them down. The horse whinnied and fell to the ground, unable to move.

The carriage suddenly stopped, and the carriage rushed forward. An Zeng kicked the carriage, and the carriage immediately fell apart.

Quite a few people rolled out of the carriage. With a glance, An Zeng saw that one of them was one of the men who had his leg broken during the day.

The people from the carriage behind rushed over, and An Zaiyue reached out to take the sabre from Gu Qianye’s hands.

Dozens of muscular men rushed towards An Zeng with weapons in their hands. An Zeng cleaved the frontmost one in half with a single chop, then started slaughtering like a tiger in a flock of sheep.

The street was full of shouts, and the sound of the knife breaking flesh and bones was mixed in with it.

An Zaiyue’s blade cut open a person’s neck, and then cut off the next person’s waist.

The dozens of men charged at him, and he fought his way backwards, from one end to the other.

Within a few minutes, dozens of men were hacked to the ground.

The ring shaped saber in his hand had already broken through quite a few gaps.

A bloodstained An Zhan knocked over several carriages and took out the people from the carriages one by one.

He made them kneel there, in a row.

He laid the knife on the first man’s shoulder. “”Tell me, who was the killer you hired?””

The first man trembled and dared not speak.

Then he walked up to the second man and placed the knife on the other man’s shoulder.

“”I don’t know …””

The second man cried out, and once again, An Zhe chopped down with his blade.

He walked over to the third person. “”Are you going to tell me or not?””

“”It’s a meeting of the four forces!””

A third person kneeled and kowtowed, “”It’s the Four Directions Guild. The steward hired people from the Four Directions Guild to kill that Master Jin, then we will hide all night and leave the capital tomorrow morning.””

The steward said that he couldn’t take it lying down. After killing them, he will let you know how powerful we are even if you don’t stay in the capital anymore.

He also said that he would hide in the capital for a few days and then come back and kill your men one by one.

“”If any of your people come out, we will kill one of them. We will let you know how powerful we are.””

“”Who is in charge?””

The person quickly replied, “”There are two. One of them is the old lady. She was frightened earlier, so she’s in the carriage behind us.””

There was also the old lady’s son, Hu Dihuan, who was also our leader.

He’s the one who called us together. He’s the one who does everything. “”

“”Where is he?””

That person replied, “”He should still be in the Fang Gu Prefecture, negotiating with the Prefect.””

An Zaijian descended and killed that person.

He killed every single one of them, not leaving a single one alive.

After killing his way through, An Zaiyue carried the blood saber, which had countless holes in it, and rushed out of the Fang Shoudao yamen.

He kicked open the door to the magistrate court, then walked in with big strides while holding the blood knife.

The few officers on duty were startled, but no one dared to stop them.

He walked through the lobby to the bookshop at the back and kicked open the door to the study.

Xu Zhengsheng, who was talking to a person in the room, saw An Zaiyue enter and was so scared that his face turned pale. After a while, he stood up and slammed on the table, “”An Zaihai!””

“”What do you want to do by intruding into the magistrate court!””

An Zaiyue ignored him and turned his head to look at the man sitting opposite to Xu Zhengsheng. He was so scared that he didn’t know what to do. “”You are Hu Diancai?””

That person subconsciously nodded his head, then shook his head: “”I’m not, I’m not!””

An Nan looked towards Xu Zheng and asked, “”Lord Xu, what do you want from me?””

“”Let me tell you …””

He grabbed Hu Jiehuan’s bracelet over and pressed one hand on Hu Jiehuan’s head, pressing it onto Xu Zhengsheng’s table.

He raised the blood blade with his other hand and slashed down.

The knife, which was no longer sharp, cut off Hu Duanhun’s neck with a ‘pu chi’ sound. His head was left on the table and his body fell down.

Blood spurted out from his neck and splattered all over Xu Zhengsheng’s face.

“”Sir Xu, I’m here to kill someone.””

This matter is not over yet. Now it’s my turn to ask you, what are your plans? “”

Xu Zheng sat down on the floor and said, “”Master An … I don’t know about this either. I was just asking.””

“”I only know that it must be him who found the culprit, but he’s talking nonsense to me, I didn’t manage to clarify anything …””

“”Where will the Quartet be?”” he asked.

Xu Zheng subconsciously pointed to the outside, “”It’s in the fourth east, Four Corner Hall.””

With a flick of his wrist, the blood saber stabbed between Xu Zheng’s legs, “”If I find out that you knew, even if my head falls to the ground, I’ll have your head fall first.””
