Chapter 721: Chapter 207: Shocking the whole county! Hundreds of officers and soldiers besiege! (10,000-word mega Chapter, please subscribe)_3

"What are you waiting for? Take down all those rebels! Don’t let a single one escape!"

A crowd of constables, government officials, and roguish rangers immediately surged towards Fan Wu and his comrades like a swarm of locusts.

Some tables and chairs inside the inn were kicked over and landed on the ground.

Because they found them too obstructive.

"Seems like there are quite a few of them..." Liu Feng had not expected the Magistrate of Iron Mountain County to think so highly of them; all they did was knock a few roguish rangers to the ground, at most, they had killed one.

Then the other side sent so many people – it looked like there had to be at least two hundred, and many outside couldn’t even squeeze in, which just goes to show how crowded it was.

Xing Fengzi narrowed his eyes; he had already drawn his weapon, which was not a Peach Wood Sword.

Peach Wood Swords might be useful against ghosts and such, but when it comes to fighting humans, they were less effective than a wooden stick.

The weapon he took out was a longsword, and it was made of iron.

Liu Feng also took out his weapon, considering he had traveled alone from the Great Yan Dynasty to the Great Zhou Dynasty and was planning to return alone from the Great Zhou Dynasty to the Great Yan Dynasty.

However, he met Fan Wu and others on his way back, and since they saved him, his solo trip back to the Great Yan Dynasty turned into an accompaniment with Fan Wu and the rest.

Traversing the martial world alone, one must carry something for self-defense. The two single-handed short blades in his hands served that purpose.

Though called short blades, they were not exactly short.

The blades were at least thirty centimeters long.

Yun Jiuqing, on the other hand, drew her Red Jade Short Sword, a magic artifact that was very effective against evil spirits and just as useful against the living. The roguish rangers they had previously encountered were dispatched with this very sword.

"There are indeed a lot of them. We can’t let them scatter us, or it would be very dangerous," Yun Jiuqing warned.

Even though all three of them were cultivators, they were still on guard against so many people wielding weapons.

After all, they were not made of steel, and if someone got lucky and slashed them with a blade,

they would be injured too.

If their luck was terribly poor and they were accidentally stabbed by a shuttle dart, it could even be life-threatening!

A shuttle dart... is a kind of spear that isn’t very long and can also be used as a throwing weapon.

The group of people surging towards Fan Wu and others did indeed use their shuttle darts as throwing weapons. Ten people, mustering all their strength, hurled their weapons towards Fan Wu and his party with all their might.

Suddenly, dart after dart tore through the air, the gleaming tips of the shuttle darts flashing coldly in a frightening display.

Xing Fengzi, with longsword in hand, suddenly rose to his feet. He lifted his foot and kicked the chair he had been sitting on outwards.

The heavy chair was kicked flying by him.

It blocked an incoming shuttle dart.

Immediately,

his longsword swung vigorously, deflecting another dart, and without fear, he quickly advanced towards those people.

Yun Jiuqing stood to Xing Fengzi’s left, dodging a shuttle dart and then stepping forward along with him.

Liu Feng was on Xing Fengzi’s right. With a forceful chop, he cut down a shuttle dart and, gritting his teeth, followed suit.

The three collided with the surging crowd for the first time.

In the blink of an eye during their first encounter, Xing Fengzi’s sword had already pierced through the arm of a government official. Snatching a shuttle dart from the other’s grasp, he held the longsword in his left hand and the dart in his right.

The shuttle dart swept through the officials as if cleaving through thousands of troops, nearly eviscerating several of them, while the longsword parried a sneak attack from behind.

The two sides immediately plunged into a melee!

The arrest officer from Iron Mountain County, who had initially been full of confidence, now wore an uneasy expression on his face with a look of sheer astonishment. He even swallowed his saliva silently, "What kind of monsters are these three? Facing two to three hundred people, they dare to charge, and they’ve knocked down several people right at the first encounter?"

Even if the men raised by the Magistrate were not soldiers with military training, lacking military discipline and not knowing how to form formations, 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

But there were so many of them!

A dense crowd charging... Even three fierce tigers weighing a thousand jin each could be hacked to death!

But these three seemed even fiercer than three such tigers!

During those few breaths that the arrest officer from Iron Mountain County was dumbstruck, Xing Fengzi and his companions had knocked down several more people.

Lying on the ground were government officials, constables, and roguish rangers, adding up to more than a dozen people.

In such a situation... the group of people at the forefront unconsciously retreated time and time again.

Then, they squeezed back into the people behind them.

Subsequently, the couple hundred or so people suddenly became a scrambled mess.

"Experts! These three out-of-towners are martial arts experts! They aren’t ordinary rebels; each of them can fight several of us! They know kung fu, they all know kung fu!"

"What the hell are you retreating for? So what if one of them can take on several of us, we have so many people, do we still fear them one against many?"

"If you’re not afraid, I am... What if, what if I’m the one they chop down?"
