Chapter 722: with translation of chapter title

Really a bunch of little rascals!

Qin Zhanhong gave a delicate shout, her body fluttering out like a startled swan.

Elder sister, you!

Lu Wanwan felt anxious and also rushed out after them.

Two women, bare-fisted, charged at the first opponent, scaring Chen Li badly; he hurriedly shouted, "Go up!"

While he was shouting, the Chen Clan Personal Guard had already started moving.

The white-haired old clan leader looked truly old, but when he moved his body was far more agile than an ordinary youngster—who knows how many times more—Lao Deng could even turn in midair, leap up with a feint thrust, and then break out to the other side.

Unfortunately, the personal guard under Chen Wuji's command was too tightly defended; he tried changing directions twice, but before he could break out of the encirclement, the Chen Clan Personal Guard, Qin Zhanhong, Lu Wanwan, and others had already closed in.

As soon as they clashed, the old man's face changed instantly: "Damn it, where did all these masters come from?"

"Born of your parents, where else could it come from, you old thing, take my sword!" Qin Zhanhong gave a delicate shout, and a short sword about half the length of a normal sword appeared in her hand.

Lu Wanwan:???

"Sister, where did you get that sword?"

She suddenly realized that she herself was truly bare-fisted.

Qin Zhanhong leapt and kicked Lu Wanwan out of the battle circle, saying, "Little sis, to wander the Rivers and Lakes you definitely need a few more tricks; how could I really go up there bare-fisted? Watch closely!"

She finally won back a city.

If not for her light footwork, Lu Wanwan would have face-planted in the mud; she then clenched her teeth, thinking tonight she might need to give this Third Madam a good spanking.

This is utterly inhuman!

"Retreat quickly, as many as can leave, the Chen surname dog thief already prepared!" The old clan leader, facing the two Chen Clan Personal Guard and Qin Zhanhong's encirclement, already showed signs of defeat.

He basically had no chance to strike; he was completely just taking blows passively.

Although he had the only weapon in his hand, right now it was no different from a firewood stick; he couldn't even thrust it out.

"Elder, we can't get away, there are too many masters!" someone shouted urgently.

"Run! Damn it, you yell!" the old clan leader gritted his teeth and shouted, "How could I not know there are so many masters?"

After shouting that, he suddenly raised both hands and knelt down decisively, saying, "No more fighting, I admit defeat, you're bullying us too much. With so many masters attacking us, we have no chance of winning; don't kill me—I might still be somewhat useful, I have intelligence I can hand over to Chen Jieshuai."

After taking several swords in succession on his body, he also realized there was basically no chance for them to fight.

If they fought two more moves, he would surely die.

"You just seemed to have scolded my Family Head, didn't you?"

Chen Li walked over slowly, his heavy armor clashing with a fierce killing intent.

The old clan leader also straightforwardly raised his hand and gave himself two hard slaps, saying, "I apologize to Commander Chen for my offense; I spoke rashly just now, but my intelligence is indeed useful—you might consider sparing my life!"

He spoke decisively and hit hard; those two slaps actually knocked out his own teeth.

Anyone who can slap himself hard enough to knock out his own teeth must be a tough guy.

"Tie them up!" Chen Li barked lowly.

The old clan leader eagerly stretched out his arms, taking the opportunity to glance at his subordinates.

"Don't look, it's just you few; a bunch of country bumpkins actually dare to assassinate!" Chen Li snorted contemptuously, "I, the Laborers, thought some formidable people had come; I almost mustered all hands, but it was totally unnecessary for this farce."

The old clan leader looked at the corpses strewn about, his mouth twitching, "General, there's no need to kill to win hearts. With so many masters of yours, unless the people from Listening Wind Tower come, who could break through your defenses?"

He brought all the elite from the hall.

... and they all stayed here.

After less than a quarter of an hour of fighting, only seven or eight of his elite remained beside him.

In a single encounter, they were nearly wiped out completely.

At this moment he didn't hate Chen Wuji, but hated even more the person who gave him the intelligence.

A bunch of hypocritical trash, the intelligence clearly had such a huge loophole, yet they spoke there with solemn confidence, brimming with self-assurance.

They really ought to be all slaughtered, those bastards.

Others hid a nest of masters, yet in their words there were supposedly no experts.

Even if they said there were a few people, the old clan leader would feel a bit better in his heart, but they absolutely told him there wasn't a single one—just a few vigorous, brave personal guards with strong blood and energy.

Damn it!

Even if I, the Laborers, die, I'll dig up the ancestral graves of your several dogs.

The old clan leader forcibly swallowed the tears at the corners of his eyes, angrily cursing in his heart the person who provided the intelligence.

"Take them away!"

At Chen Li's order, the tightly bound old clan leader and others were brought into the Daying.

Lu Wanwan came over with a resentful look to Qin Zhanhong's side, "Elder sister, tonight I'm going to spank you!"

Seeing that serious little face, Qin Zhanhong burst out laughing with a puff, "Why do you want to hit me?"

"You deceived me, and kicked me!"

Qin Zhanhong giggled, "I didn't deceive you; I thought you also had a weapon. I kicked you not to harm you but to save you—you said you'd rush into the battle circle bare-fisted, how dangerous is that!"

Lu Wanwan drooped her eyelids, glaring angrily at Qin Zhanhong.

Qin Zhanhong was made to laugh till she bent over by her look, she lowered her voice and whispered, "Okay, okay, I'll hit you, I'll hit you, that'll do. Wow, I really—looking at you like this, I even want to have a daughter just to play with."

"Hmph!"

"Hahaha..."

Chen Wuji joyfully gained an air force.

He used all the techniques he should have, but he didn't catch a single fish; instead he was miserably teased by the fish.

That fish swam back and forth right under his eyelids, yet simply wouldn't bite his bait.

This made Chen Wuji angry, and everyone wanted to use Shocking Heaven Thunder to blast fish.

The newest batch of Shocking Heaven Thunder had just been sent from Hezhou.

He has quite a lot of this right now, enough to splurge on fish meat.

"Wuyi, come over! This fishing is so irritating!"

Chen Wuji handed the fishing rod to Chen Wuyi, and simply stopped fishing.

He also rejected the idea of blasting fish.

The current is a bit strong; even if we blasted it, we likely couldn't catch anything, so we might as well save some Shocking Heaven Thunder.

Chen Li escorted the old clan leader and the others over in a mighty procession.

"Family Head, they really are assassins; after their identities were exposed, they tried to break out and killed a hundred people; these few are captives! That old man is the leader; I heard them shouting something like 'Elder'." Chen Li reported.

Chen Wuji was not surprised at all: "Offering auspicious omens—such a ridiculous thing—they actually thought of it; if they weren't assassins, it would be truly ghostly. Moreover, in this Songzhou territory, hardly anyone would recognize my position as Regional Inspector Commander; ordinary commoners would be even less likely."

"Now I see; without giving it much thought, I actually had doubts for a while just now." Chen Li said.
