Chapter 51: The Rising Sun

'Scorpion Tail Tiger' Xu Erniang gripped her double sabers tightly, her palms full of sweat.

Internal power flowed in the meridians, and blood surged in the tendons and bones, but looking at the approaching youth in green robes, she couldn't summon any courage.

"Young Master, this slave knows she was wrong, willing to be a dog and horse, you..." She tidied her clothes, revealing half of her snow-white breasts, and said pitifully.

With one swing of the sword, her head fell, and blood drifted.

'Down Mountain Tiger' Lang Yi, who was fleeing, gave a low roar, regardless of the consequences, urged his internal qi, ignored the stinging pain in his meridians, and his speed soared again by a factor of two.

Down Mountain Tiger, the tiger is full of wind!

Speed is his strength, praised by people in the Jianghu.

A green shadow flashed, and the sword light slashed diagonally.

Lang Yi's body stiffened, and his body continued to maintain the posture of fleeing. Suddenly, his head and body separated, each running to one side.

Two sword shadows dissipated one after another.

Jiang Ding looked back, showing a look of surprise.

"You didn't run?"

The black man like an iron tower, Zhou Kun, held a pair of octagonal copper hammers, staring at him fixedly.

Jiang Ding pressed the long sword at his waist and approached step by step.

"Sir, you have just arrived here, you must have big things to do, I have a word."

Zhou Kun stared at him and said in a deep voice: "I have practiced hard work since I was a child, studied under the Marquis Mansion's instructor, refined military strategy, and am good at using soldiers to train soldiers. If I have a ten-thousand-man army in hand, I am not afraid even of the Primordial Realm."

"I have great use, and I can show my ambition in the future!"

"Oh?"

Jiang Ding made a gesture of listening attentively.

"Zhou Kun, willing to be a dog and horse, willing to charge for the Young Master and seize the world!"

"I don't need it."

Jiang Ding finished listening to him, his footsteps flashed, and he swung his sword.

"Then you go to hell for me!"

Zhou Kun roared, all his internal power exploded wildly, his muscles bulged like hills, and a pair of meteor hammers smashed down one after another, the hammer shadows continuous, and the qi energy rolled in all directions.

Suddenly, his body stiffened.

A long sword stabbed diagonally from the side, deeply piercing his throat, countless internal power threads surged into it, turning his brain into a paste.

"If it weren't for so many children... I would consider it a little, just a little."

Jiang Ding pulled out his long sword, shook off the blood, and walked towards the center of the stronghold without looking back.

Behind him, the burly black man fell down like a golden mountain and a jade pillar.

In front of him, countless fleeing stronghold men fled wildly, not daring to look back at all, fleeing out of the stronghold gate, fleeing far away from this nightmare place.

'Mountain-Splitting Tiger' Zhou Kuang and 'Gold-Pointing Tiger' Zhou Sheng escaped from the fire pile, barely reorganized the team, but saw a large number of fleeing stronghold men coming from afar, not returning to the team, fleeing for their lives.

"Running what?"

Zhou Kuang pulled a fleeing man and said angrily.

"Second Master is dead, Third Master and Fourth Master are also dead, and dozens of our brothers are also dead..." The stronghold man was disheveled, crying bitterly: "The stronghold leader is also dead, that person is an evil ghost turned into by those children, we are all going to die!"

"Nonsense!"

Zhou Kuang smashed him to the ground and said angrily: "You dare to spread rumors, I will kill your whole family!"

The stronghold men around him who had just escaped from the sea of fire were in chaos, buzzing sounds arose, each calling the fleeing stronghold men they knew, confirming the matter, and joined the fleeing cleanly.

"Shut up!"

Zhou Kuang killed the shouting stronghold man with an axe and roared: "He is only one person, do you understand? Now he is exhausted, follow me, surround and kill him, each rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, ten big-breasted women!"

This time, no one paid attention to him anymore.

The team that was barely a group scattered instantly, and even if the brothers killed several people, it was of no avail.

"Big Brother! These cowards are useless, let's go and kill him together, the two of us are enough!"

'Gold-Pointing Tiger' Zhou Sheng's eyes were blood-red, roaring.

"Die, you turtle son!"

Zhou Kuang kicked him in the chest and raised his axe to slash, scaring Zhou Sheng to dodge repeatedly: "Get out! Get out far away, leave a incense for the Zhou family, just like what mother said, live!"

"The stronghold leader's great kindness, let me return it!"

"Big Brother!"

Zhou Sheng's eyes turned red, no longer dodging, understanding his meaning.

Jiang Ding walked slowly in the back stronghold. Occasionally there were corpses and blood on the ground, but it didn't damage the quiet night.

This is the place where more than a dozen carts of Blue Fluorescent Butterflies are stored, and some pigs, sheep, cattle, and horses are raised. In the cattle pen behind, dozens of children are imprisoned, their dark eyes looking at the youth wearing weapons outside in fear.

In the chaos, bandits took the opportunity to rob, fire, and some wanted to come here to snatch horses to escape.

They finally became the way they lay on the ground.

Under the moonlight, blue fluorescent spots, flashing, 150,000 to 160,000 pairs of Blue Fluorescent Butterflies gathered together, making this place look like a charming blue fairyland.

Jiang Ding observed carefully.

The mental state of these Blue Fluorescent Butterflies is still okay. Previously, there should have been someone who knew the business to take care of them carefully. The Fierce Tiger Stronghold didn't have this channel in a short time. If there was no accident, it should be the person found by the Yiqi Gang.

*Ta ta~*

Not far away, a burly man holding a refined steel axe approached with full killing intent.

"Fierce Tiger Stronghold Zhou Kuang, come to take your dog life!"

Zhou Kuang was like crazy, the refined steel axe smashed down with the momentum of Mount Tai, and the youth in green robes under the axe was as fragile as a willow leaf in the wind.

A ray of sword light flashed.

The head fell, and the refined steel axe flew away, smashing to the ground.

"Doing all kinds of evil, do bandits with innocent hands also have intense feelings that ignore life and death?"

Jiang Ding sheathed his sword and shook his head: "The more so, the more they should be killed."

Sword shadows surfaced, disappeared, clearly visible in the night.

He took a paper tube from his arms and pulled it open.

*Li! *

A fire light flew out, exploding brilliant fireworks in the slightly bright night sky.

Long San, who was half-asleep and half-awake, woke up suddenly.

Looking at the fireworks in the distance, complex emotions such as excitement, suspicion, and expectation appeared in his eyes, and he actually wandered in place for a while, not daring to go on the road.

"Shopkeeper... Young Master Jiang won't be captured, right?"

A clerk was also awakened, hesitated for a moment, and said.

This is the greatest possibility. They accompanied Long San here, but they didn't dare to disobey an old man who lost his son and was on the verge of madness, just dealing with it.

As for destroying a stronghold alone, even the biggest mouth in the teahouse wouldn't dare to say so.

Other clerks shrank their heads.

If they broke in without knowing the importance, those thieves could eat them without bones left.

"Go."

Long San said suddenly, and stepped away.

"Proprietor..."

Other clerks looked embarrassed, their footsteps rooted like roots.

"Several brothers usually eat from my Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, drink from my Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, now that things are coming to an end, they don't want to do things?" Long San looked back, raised his sword, and showed a cold smile.

His patience is very limited now.

"Proprietor! Shopkeeper! Nothing!"

Other clerks shivered, shook their heads repeatedly, followed quickly, and didn't dare to say a word of nonsense.

After walking for a while, a look of shock appeared in Long San's eyes.

Originally, relying only on a firework to guide the direction, the road would be very difficult, it would take a long time to find the place, and maybe they would get lost.

But now don't think about it.

In the distance, at the top of the cliff, the firelight shone, and houses could be vaguely seen collapsing in the raging fire, and people were wailing and fleeing in it.

Some houses had already been burned for the most part, leaving only a piece of pitch-black bricks and tiles and fire stars piled on the ground, rolling thick smoke permeating for several miles, even a blind man could find the place by the smell of smoke.

"Could it be that he really destroyed the Fierce Tiger Stronghold alone?"

A thought rose involuntarily, growing wildly in the hearts of Long San and a group of clerks. ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
