Bursting through the door was none other than Lu Yun, Xiao Chen, and Captain Wang.

“Hmm?” Upon seeing the trio, the Black Tiger Village Chief’s heart was filled with surprise and suspicion. His thick, muscular hand immediately reached for the cold, flickering saber at his side.

The village chief didn’t recognize Lu Yun and Xiao Chen, but he was well-acquainted with Captain Wang after several encounters in the past.

However, after a few moments, when only Xiao Chen, Lu Yun, and Captain Wang had entered the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness, and no one else followed, the village chief’s tense heart gradually relaxed.

To him, Captain Wang was just at the late stage of the Meridian Passage Realm, and his strength was still somewhat inferior to the chief’s. Moreover, this was his territory, not the county town where Captain Wang would have other Arresting Officers to assist him. Naturally, the village chief wouldn’t take Captain Wang too seriously.

As for Lu Yun and Xiao Chen, he simply saw them as young kids who had not yet blossomed into full maturity.

“Captain Wang, long time no see. Why have you suddenly come to my Black Tiger Village today?” The village chief looked at Captain Wang, his tiger eyes glaring angrily. His voice was unfriendly, but he didn’t attack right away.

Truth be told, Captain Wang’s sudden appearance caught him off guard.

Besides, the village chief couldn’t figure out how Captain Wang had managed to infiltrate the village undetected. Although the village’s defenses had been lax, it hadn’t been easy to deal with the guards without raising any alarm.

Furthermore, he didn’t know if anyone else had come with Captain Wang and that was part of the reason he didn’t make a move right away.

“That’s the Black Tiger Village Chief, Song Xing. He’s been at the late stage of the Meridian Passage Realm for a long time and possesses incredible brute strength. Most people are no match for him!” Captain Wang whispered to Lu Yun and Xiao Chen, completely ignoring the malicious gazes of the bandits in the hall.

“So it’s really Village Chief Song. If only Advisor Wu was here too, then the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness would truly live up to its name.”

While speaking, Lu Yun walked step by step towards the Black Tiger Village Chief, Song Xing.

Song Xing didn’t pay much attention to Lu Yun, who appeared to be an incredibly youthful boy. Instead, he focused on Lu Yun’s words.

“You know about Advisor Wu?” Song Xing looked at his own military advisor, who also appeared puzzled.

What did he and the village chief have to do with whether or not the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness lived up to its name?

How did the other party guess that the Black Tiger Village had a military advisor like him?

“Could it be that you have a strategist named Wu here? What a coincidence!” Lu Yun headed straight for Song Xing, the Black Tiger Village Chief, a trace of suspicion flickering in his eyes. Yet, he didn’t stop walking.

“Stop there! Who do you think you are to offend our village chief?” One of the bandits stood up and shouted loudly.

“Hmph!”

Lu Yun coldly snorted, his icy gaze landing on the bandit. Instantly, an overwhelming killing intent materialized.

The bandit wasn’t much stronger than an average person and obviously couldn’t withstand such killing intent. The color drained from his face as his body trembled uncontrollably and he collapsed heavily onto the ground.

This scene rendered everyone in the hall speechless, including Song Xing, who had momentarily forgotten that Lu Yun was approaching him once more. “Clang!”

The long saber on Lu Yun’s back was drawn in an instant and furiously hacked towards Song Xing’s head.

When Song Xing finally came to his senses, he saw the sharp blade light slashing towards him.

“Impudent!”

The alarmed Song Xing immediately cast aside his earlier contempt, and almost as a reflex, grabbed the saber at his side and blocked the incoming attack.

Lu Yun gripped the saber with both hands, channeling all of his strength into the hilt. At the same time, he activated his aggressive aura to its extreme and poured it all into the blade.

Song Xing was a seasoned warrior with extensive battle experience and numerous life-and-death situations under his belt. Although the surprise attack shocked him, he didn’t panic. He immediately unleashed all of his True Qi.

Bang!

As the sabers collided, a shocking sound resonated while waves of powerful True Qi dispersed, causing the two men’s clothes to flutter wildly.

Upon going all out, Song Xing’s cultivation was revealed to be at the peak of the Meridian Passage Realm. In addition to his innate brute strength advantage, he managed to resist Lu Yun’s powerful strike despite being caught off guard. He was only forced to retreat rapidly, shattering the tiger skin chair behind him.

This unexpected turn of events left everyone in the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness momentarily stunned.

However, what happened next was even more surprising.

No, it would be more accurate to say that some people didn’t even get the chance to be surprised.

At the same time Lu Yun made his move, Xiao Chen also sprang into action.

He was incredibly quick to draw his sword, and even faster when it came to swinging it. The blade light swept through the air like a white ribbon, piercing the air and slicing through the stunned bandits, illuminating the dimly lit hall with a bright glow.

As the light vanished and the darkness returned, over a dozen bandits were left blind and collapsed on the ground.

“Very well, very well!” The Black Tiger Village Chief patted off the dust on his body and forced a few words out from between his clenched teeth. His tiger eyes glared menacingly, ready to tear someone apart.

Lu Yun shook his slightly trembling arm and glanced at the long saber in his hand, which now bore a visible dent. He shook his head slightly.

This long saber was what he had obtained from the Martial Academy. Although it wasn’t a top-quality weapon, it was still worth thirty Contribution Points, or at least several thousand taels of silver if it were exchanged for money.

But now, it had almost been destroyed after only a short time in his possession, which left him feeling rather depressed.

However, when his gaze fell on the Black Tiger Village Chief’s saber, the shimmering cold light caught his attention.

What a fine specimen! A tiger-skin chair, a tiger-skin coat, and now a quality tiger-head broadsaber.

Immediately, the desire to kill and plunder rose in his heart.

“I’ve got my eye on your saber!”

Lu Yun roared as the saber in his hand received the bolstering of his aggressive aura. The blade emitted a dazzling cold glint as he charged at the newly risen Black Tiger Village Chief.

This time, he fully activated all eight of his meridians and churned all of the aggressive aura within his Dantian. The entirety of it was poured into the blade, causing it to quiver uncontrollably.

“Hmph, a brat who hasn’t even grown all his hair yet and you want to snatch my blade!”

The Black Tiger Village Chief sneered, his arms bulging with muscle. His innate brute strength and his peak Meridian Passage Realm’s True Qi were both pushed to the limit, and he channeled everything into his broadsaber.

Crack!

The two sabers clashed, and Lu Yun’s weapon suddenly split in half, leaving only the lower half of the blade in his hand.

The powerful force and aggressive aura sent Song Xing, the Black Tiger Village Chief, flying back. He collided with numerous fleeing bandits, scattering them in all directions as they cried out in pain.

The sudden breaking of the weapon left Lu Yun, who had been preparing to take advantage of the situation, momentarily stunned.

However, he quickly recovered.

Still gripping the broken hilt, he continued to swing the half-blade at his enemy.

Although Song Xing had suffered severe internal injuries and was coughing up blood after being hit by the aggressive aura, his body instinctively shifted a little as he raised his saber to block the incoming attack once more.

He was still a fraction too slow, and the half-blade struck his waist, sending blood spraying everywhere.

“All, my waist!”
