Chapter 1092

First Volume, Chapter 1092: A Pure Killing Machine

If it were a hundred fully armed Heavy Infantry, it would indeed be difficult.

But the problem is, these constables rushed out in haste, even lacking light armor, dressed only in cloth robes, wielding sword and shield…

Wang Chi realized Qin Feng was mocking him, and couldn't help but feel uneasy inside.

The other side clearly knew their strength was vastly inferior, yet showed no fear—could he truly believe that merely fifty cavalry could defeat twice their number of constables?

Wang Chi refused to believe it; he was certain Qin Feng was all bluff, hollow and loud.

"Hahaha, no wonder you're a Marquis—truly possessing great courage."

"To be honest, Ming County has two hundred and seventy constables; beyond that, twenty li north of Ming County lies a Zhu Qu, with eight hundred elite troops."

"These troops, of course, cannot compare to your Marquis's Elite, so we can only shamelessly rely on sheer numbers."

The Squad leader could no longer listen.

This bastard—has he truly grown tired of life?

Throughout Shedynasty, who doesn't know Qin Feng just led his army to crush the Northern Di, forcing a dynastic change?

Even the Northern Di couldn't stand against him—how much less these mere constables?

Of course! Only a pampered second-generation heir, idling all day and oppressing the people, would be deaf to events beyond the city walls—the more ignorant, the bolder he becomes.

Just as Wang Chi, relying on his numerical advantage, was gloating.

A rapid clatter of hooves came from afar.

Turning to look, they saw a messenger galloping toward them; from far off, the messenger shouted out.

"By order of the Yuping County Magistrate, I come to notify the Ming County Magistrate regarding the bandit Wu Heli."

Upon hearing the name "Wu Heli," Wang Chi, who had been smug a moment before, turned instantly pale.

A month ago, Wu Heli had ravaged Ming County, throwing the entire town into chaos, with countless dead.

The County Yamen sent troops to suppress them, but four hundred men returned with only two hundred and seventy alive.

Even the Wang Family had suffered repeated plundering by Wu Heli, to the point they dared not send out any Merchant Caravan.

But over ten days ago, Wu Heli suddenly left Ming County and moved toward the Yuping County region.

Though no one knew why, for the people of Ming County, who trembled at the mere mention of "Wu," this was a heavenly blessing.

Now, hearing Wu Heli's name again, Wang Chi trembled all over, terrified Wu Heli would return.

He rushed to the messenger and shouted: "Has Wu Heli come back again?"

The messenger frowned, staring at Wang Chi: "Who are you?"

Wang Chi's face fell: "I am the eldest son of the Wang Family—don't you recognize me? You damn fool."

The messenger had heard that the largest gentry family in Ming County bore the surname Wang; realizing Wang Chi's status was significant, and seeing many constables present, he reluctantly gave his report.

"Lord Wu orders me to inform Ming County: the Wu Heli bandits have been eliminated. Three hundred of the eight hundred bandits were slain; the rest have fled in disarray. One of the bandit leaders, Lei Meng, was killed on the spot. Wu Heli and Chen Yanzong, severely wounded, have escaped."

"The crisis is over. Ming County should resume production and intensify patrols for Local Governance."

Hearing this, Wang Chi was overjoyed: "No wonder Lord Wu—he's actually eliminated the Wu Heli bandits!"

"Hahaha, someday I'll bring fine gifts to visit Lord Wu."

At this, the messenger's face remained expressionless: "The one who eliminated the Wu Heli bandits was not Lord Wu, but Qin Marquis, who merely passed through."

At these words, Wang Chi, who had been ecstatic moments before, froze instantly.

The messenger dismounted as he explained: "Qin Marquis led fifty Black Cavalry, charged head-on, and crushed eight hundred bandits."

"Had Qin Marquis not intervened, these surrounding County Cities would have suffered far worse at Wu Heli's hands."

The entire scene fell into deathly silence.

Wang Chi slowly turned, and when he looked at Qin Feng again, his eyes were utterly vacant.

Fifty Black Cavalry eliminated Wu Heli's eight hundred fierce bandits, killed over three hundred on the spot, and even killed one of the leaders, Lei Meng, right there?!

Wang Chi scanned the cavalry beside Qin Feng.

One… two… ten… fifty…

Wait!

How are there still fifty?!

Does that mean Qin Feng wiped out Wu Heli—and not a single Black Cavalry died?

How is that possible!

Wu Heli's bandits had far greater combat effectiveness than constables—yet even with eight hundred against fifty, the casualty rate was zero to three hundred…

Wang Chi turned to look at his own constables, swallowed hard, and collapsed to his knees with a thud.

"Marquis Qin, your humble servant is guilty—please treat me like a fart and let me go."

Beside him, the Squad leader cursed inwardly: this bastard had already offended Qin Marquis beyond redemption—and still thought he could save his life? Utterly stupid!

As the Squad leader predicted, Qin Feng's smile slowly vanished.

"In my life, I despise three kinds of people."

"First, those who bully men and women, abuse the weak. Second, those who cower before the strong and bully the weak, hypocritical and noisy. Third, those who threaten me."

"Unluckily, you embody all three."

At these words, without Qin Feng's order, Zhao Yuxiong immediately drew a Sheng Mao and looped it around Wang Chi's neck, yanking hard.

With his throat constricted, Wang Chi couldn't even scream—he was dragged straight to the side of the horse.

Then Zhao Yuxiong tied the rope to the Saddle, securing Wang Chi firmly atop the Warhorse, his head above the saddle, his feet barely touching the ground.

Under the horrified gaze of all, Zhao Yuxiong merely lightly squeezed his horse's flanks.

The Warhorse let out a long neigh, reared up on its front legs, lifting Wang Chi high into the air.

Thud!

With a muffled thud, the Warhorse's forelegs landed again, but its heavy Armor made the impact alone snap Wang Chi's cervical spine.

Crack!

After the crisp snap, Wang Chi fell utterly still—clean, swift, without a trace of suffering.

Just moments ago lively and arrogant, Wang Chi now hung motionless on the Saddle.

Not only the Squad leader and the Yamen soldiers, but even the Liu Family Village villagers trembled all over, not daring to breathe.

They had seen killings before, but never had they seen a killing as swift as Zhao Yuxiong's…

At this moment, they finally understood.

These black riders' greatest skill was slaughter!

Qin Feng didn't even bother to look at Wang Chi again; his gaze flicked to the Ming County Squad leader.

"What's your name?"

The Squad leader, terrified out of his wits, dared not hesitate a moment—he stammered, "I—I'm Sun Yi, Squad leader of the Ming County Yamen."

Qin Feng asked bluntly: "Are the two Liu daughters truly fugitives?"

The Squad leader turned deathly pale, glancing at Wang Chi hanging on the Saddle, and said nervously: "N—no, Liu Yunxia was driven to desperation by the Wang Family's persecution."

Qin Feng nodded: "If you knew she was framed, why did you assist Zhu Zhou Wei E?"
