Chapter 31 There's still a chance!
Turning back to the doorway, he looked at the two pale-faced women and felt a touch of emotion.
Thank you...
Gu Qinghan, panting, chuckled, "I'm glad I could help you..."
Facing a massive army, and with a large arsenal of weapons, it would be impossible for Gu Qinghan to say she wasn't afraid.
Gu Feixue was also afraid; in any case, she definitely didn't have the courage to charge into battle.
After all, she wasn't a general.
But Xu Tianyi dared.
He did what he dared not do, and the two women admired him even more.
This kind of courage and decisiveness is something that ordinary people absolutely cannot do.
But Xu Tianyi laughed and explained, "The Xu family is really stupid and incompetent. The commander-in-chief is walking so far ahead. It seems that after a hundred years, they have forgotten how to be a general."
He didn't understand the trust and admiration in the two women's eyes, and just cheerfully explained.
In his view, winning was expected; even if he couldn't break through the enemy's formation, he could force them to send reinforcements.
If the enemy feels that the North Gate is under pressure, they will definitely transfer troops to the other gates.
The rest is easy. The other gates are empty, so you can just pick the west gate or the east gate and slip away.
Be ruthless. Once they've lowered their guard and the soldiers have left, you can go back and assassinate them under the cover of night.
Even if we play them, we can still outplay them to death.
Unexpectedly, things are going very well now, and with such a smooth situation, he is naturally all smiles.
Hearing this, Gu Feixue nodded with pleasure: "It seems you know a bit about military strategy..."
Xu Tianyi shook his head: "I don't understand, but even if I don't understand, I can do better than them, at least I won't make so many mistakes."
He carefully reviewed the Xu family's actions.
I'm totally obsessed.
The decision-making process was also driven by greed.
He simply stopped thinking about it.
"There should also be Xu Wan'an..."
He said it calmly.
Gu Feixue hesitated, then said, "Aren't we leaving? I think it's best not to linger..."
Xu Tianyi shook his head: "We don't know when the Xu family notified us, so we need to capture him and interrogate him."
At this point, a large number of footsteps and noisy voices suddenly came from the inner courtyard.
Xu Tianyi laughed heartily: "Look, it's come to us on our own terms..."
He leaped over the roof and immediately saw a group of people rushing towards him from fifty meters away.
Clearly, this was a coordinated attack orchestrated by Xu Wan'an, who dispatched constables and gang soldiers from other factions, according to the Xu family's plan.
But Xu Tianyi, who was already a sixth-rank Grand Martial Master, was naturally not afraid.
Among constables, yamen runners, and gang members, the strongest are no more than martial arts masters.
Xu Wan'an was only a seventh-rank martial arts master.
Xu Tianyi charged forward fiercely, leaving Xu Wan'an and the others stunned.
"Poison powder!! Hook lock and grappling hook, quick!!"
A barrage of unusual and hidden weapons was thrown at them.
People in the martial arts world are ruthless and unscrupulous. The chain hammer is simply two stones tied to a rope and swung around.
Once it hits you, you can easily be bound.
Similarly, hooks and ropes are also essential, along with poison powder, barbed wire, and gillnets.
However, what sets Grand Martial Masters apart is that their true energy can be projected over a sufficient distance.
Five meters might sound weak, but in reality, a five-meter attack range is enough to annihilate ordinary people.
A sword aura pierced through the various strange weapons blocking his path, and Xu Tianyi fearlessly charged into them.
The protective aura around his body was so thick it was almost despair-inducing.
In just three seconds, he broke through the crowd.
Each sword strike was incredibly powerful.
Everywhere they went, there were severed limbs and broken bodies.
Although he was stabbed more than a dozen times, he was completely unharmed because his true energy shield was too thick.
By the time he turned around, the group of constables and yamen runners had already started to run away.
Xu Wan'an was also knocked away, and his internal energy was in chaos.
Scarface, the leader of the underground gang, is dead; half of his head has been chopped off.
As Xu Tianyi's footsteps slowly approached, Xu Wan'an was filled with fear.
"Nephew...nephew, spare my life..."
He knelt down, lowering his noble head.
A nauseating stench of blood wafted from the ground, and beside him, a severed head stared at him with wide-open, unseeing eyes.
This was his sworn brother, who used to bully men and women and was vicious and terrifying, but now he died so easily before his eyes.
"Da da da..."
Xu Tianyi's footsteps drew closer, and then a long sword dripping with blood, carrying a faint flow of true energy, appeared before him.
"Third Uncle, when did the Xu family send a message to the Imperial Advisor?"
"Ah?...I...I didn't know...Nephew, spare me...spare me..."
“Tell me, and I will spare your daughter and the rest of the Xu family.”
The longsword was pressed against his chin, and even though he was a seventh-rank martial artist, he had no intention of resisting.
Trembling, he raised his head and looked at the blood-soaked god of death, filled with fear and despair.
"You...you promise me...you can't..."
"I, Xu Tianyi, keep my word. I don't have time to waste with you. Tell me, when did you notify the prefectural city?"
Xu Wan'an swallowed hard: "Can you spare my life...?"
Xu Tianyi was losing patience, but he still smiled: "If you don't speak, someone will. This is my last chance to give you. Do you want to wipe out your clan with your elder brothers, or spare your daughter's life..."
Xu Wan'an trembled for a moment, but couldn't withstand the pressure, and tears streamed down his face: "Yesterday!! Just yesterday!! The moment you returned, Father..."
"puff!!"
Xu Tianyi flicked his long sword, then sheathed it.
"yesterday?"
He began to ponder these thoughts.
Gu Qinghan forced herself to stay awake and walked up.
"Can we go now?"
Even her usually strong heart softened because of this.
She had never experienced such brutal killing before, and it felt very uncomfortable and disgusting to her.
Gu Feixue was the same.
The two of them just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Xu Tianyi was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
"That's right, he wasn't lying."
Yesterday, they saw that we had actually returned to Anlu, and this was a last-minute idea they came up with!
So, as they notified us yesterday, if we hurry back now, we might still make it in time!
The two women were somewhat dazed.
Xu Tianyi quickly said, "We set off yesterday afternoon. If they weren't really traveling at full speed, they're definitely still east of Anlu, near Luguang County. As long as we overtake them, we can return to the city to make some evacuation preparations to avoid heavy losses."
If we can intercept and kill him, we can buy even more time.
The two women's eyes lit up.
Gu Feixue then dismissed her confidants and, together with Xu Tianyi and Gu Qinghan, each took two horses and began their journey towards Luguang County.
