Qin Xuelian didn't say anything, but she stood beside Fang Houde. This was her silent support for her husband, and also her responsibility for Fang Zhengzhi's actions.
The dark-faced general's eyes narrowed as he scanned Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian with a hint of disdain.
He had thought that even though Fang Zhengzhi's parents lived in a mountain village, they would have some special background. For example, they would have come from an aristocratic family. As such, they would have looked more scholarly. However, the two people in front of him looked no different from ordinary villagers.
How could these two people raise a genius that could shake the Great Xia Dynasty?
The black faced general was in disbelief. However, if these two people were really ordinary villagers, then he would not care about them.
"You are Fang Zhengzhi's parents?" The black faced general looked down at them.
"That's right!" Fang Houde replied firmly.
"Take him down!" The black-faced general did not say anything else and immediately gave the order.
When the three deputies heard this, their expressions changed. They hesitated. They knew that Fang Zhengzhi had killed two soldiers the day before.
The two soldiers were angered because they insulted Fang Zhengzhi's parents.
Fang Zhengzhi's parents were Fang Zhengzhi's greatest weakness. At the same time, they were the most likely to provoke Fang Zhengzhi.
"General, why don't we..."
"Why? Do you want me to do it myself? " The black faced general knew what his three deputies were worried about. If he had a choice, he would not want to offend Fang Zhengzhi. After all, Fang Zhengzhi was now an influential figure.
He topped both the provincial and provincial examinations.
He had reached the Heavenly Reflection State at the age of 15. Furthermore, he had an ambiguous relationship with the daughter of the Divine Constabulary. Even though he did not know about Fang Zhengzhi's performance in the imperial examinations...
But no matter what, he could see Fang Zhengzhi's potential.
However, did he have a choice?
From the moment he accepted this mission, from the moment he stepped into the Northern Mountain Village, he had no other choice. There was only one way.
Either Fang Zhengzhi died, or he died!
So what if he was a genius? No matter how talented he was, he was just a genius with potential. He could not compare to the truly powerful figures. He was just an ant.
Who asked him to offend someone he should not have?
"Yes!" The three deputies gritted their teeth when they heard the dark-faced general's words. Although they were apprehensive, they were only apprehensive. After being chosen to enter the Northern Mountain Village, there was no turning back.
Fang Zhengzhi would not resist as long as he took down these two people!
When Fang Zhengzhi surrendered, they would kill him immediately. Everything else would have nothing to do with them. All they had to do was report a suitable crime and the person behind the army would take the blame.
"Don't you dare hurt my Uncle Houde!" When Zhang Li saw this, he leaped out and stood in front of Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian.
"Get out of the way!" A deputy general stepped forward.
At this moment, the other two deputy generals also jumped off their horses and drew their swords. He could make a move at any time.
"Not even in death!"
"Then you can go to hell!" The Deputy General's sword moved extremely quickly, and the edge of the sword gave off an eerie chill as it stabbed towards Zhang Li's throat.
Zhang Li had experienced many battles in the hunting squad over the years. Even though he was not as powerful as the deputy general, he still had some battle experience.
When he saw the sword, he immediately rolled to the right. However, the sword in the deputy general's hand was too fast. There was still a bloody hole in his shoulder.
"Fight it out with them!"
"Without the Fang Family, there would be no Northern Mountain Village today!"
"Zhengzhi caused trouble because of us, we should take responsibility for it! Fight it out with them!"
"Yes. We cannot let anything happen to the Fang Family. If not, we will be letting Zhengzhi down! "
When they saw a deputy general pushing Zhang Li back with his sword, and the other two deputy generals closing in on Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian, the villagers finally erupted and each of them picked up their weapons.
Shovels, hoes. A three-pronged target, a wooden stick, and a stone …
This caused the three deputy generals to be filled with disbelief. Could it be that a group of mountain people dared to go against the entire army? That was simply too audacious!
"Are you rebelling? Let's see who dares! " The deputy who pushed Zhang Li back raged. He swung his sword, carving a one-meter-deep hole in the ground.
It was an intimidating sight.
"Smack!"
However, just when he thought that the mountain people would be stunned by his sword, a crisp sound seemed to answer his question.
The furious deputy lowered his head and looked at his chest in disbelief. There was a trace of dust on his chest, which was obviously caused by mud.
These villagers actually dared to go against the army?!
The furious Deputy General's gaze became extremely sharp at this moment. He looked at the crowd, and the villagers' gazes were completely focused on a corner of the crowd.
"Tian Wazi!"
"It's … it's Tian Wazi!"
Within the crowd, a three-year-old child with a wooden slingshot glared at the deputy general. He was wearing a pair of open shorts, his nose dripping with mucus.
"Bad guy!" The three-year-old Tian Wazi snorted angrily with a fearless expression. He casually waved the wooden slingshot in his hand, his face full of pride.
"I hit him, I hit him!"
When the villagers heard Tian Wazi's excited shouts, they all fell silent in an instant.
That was because they all knew that although there were only four of them, in terms of strength, they were not people that the villagers with farming tools could fight against.
The so-called riot was just for show. For the time being, no one had ever thought of actually taking action.
"Hit him!"
"Hit the bad guy!"
Unfortunately, Tian Wazi's slingshot caused even more rocks and mud to rain down on the furious deputy general.
All of the children raised their slingshots. The youngest was less than two years old, while the oldest was only six or seven years old.
"Crackle!" The sound of rocks being thrown rang out across the square.
One by one, the stones were ready to be shot at the three deputy generals.
The furious deputy general could no longer hold it in. A bunch of mountain people. They actually dared to openly oppose the military. This kind of deed was enough to put the hat of rebellion on them.
"Kill!" The black-faced general gave the order. At a time like this, the only way was to curb violence with violence. He wanted to let these mountain people know who was the law!
As soon as he finished speaking, two black broadswords appeared in his hands. One was as large as a mountain, while the other was as thin as a tree branch. It was the Bipolar Blade, a combination of heaviness and dexterity.
"Shua!" The saber in his hand moved, and a red saber light slashed towards the crowd.
In an instant, four or five villagers fell into a pool of blood.
As the person in charge of guarding the perimeter of Cang Ling Mountain, the black-faced general was already in the advanced stages of the Heavenly Reflection State. Of his three deputies, two were in the Star Conglomerate State and one was in the initial stages of the Heavenly Reflection State. With such power, dealing with a bunch of ordinary villagers was as easy as cutting vegetables.
"Ah! It hurts! "
"Murder!"
"Let's fight it out with them!"
The villagers did not flee at this moment. Perhaps this was an extremely foolish decision. However, this was the backbone that had been passed down from generation to generation.
Whoever fled at this moment would never be able to raise their heads again.
"What a bunch of foolish peasants!" The black-faced general's face darkened. His original intention was to suppress them, to use the power of his sword to suppress this group of rioting mountain people. But he did not expect that these mountain people would advance instead of retreating.
There was even a group of people pulling up their bows and hunting arrows.
"Fire!"
The hunting squad's bows and arrows had been sharpened. With a single command, over 30 arrows rained down on the black-faced general and his men.
"How dare you!" The black-faced general looked at the rain of arrows. His eyes flashed as a red wave of energy surged from his body. In an instant, it turned into a sea of flames.
Fire Domain.
The arrows rained down. Under the burning of the Fire Domain, the tails of the arrows broke. The arrowheads lost their tails. They landed in front of the black-faced general like a broken kite.
"Today, I will slaughter all of you insolent peasants!" After the black-faced general finished speaking, he swung the huge sword in his hand. Rolling flames instantly pressed down on the group of villagers. Suddenly, the villagers were bathed in a sea of fire.
"Ah ah ah …"
"Put out the fire, quick!"
"Water. Water … "
The villagers had never experienced something like this before. They panicked. They knew that the black-faced general was powerful, but they did not expect him to be this powerful.
Was this the power of an important figure?
"He has accessed Dao!"
"Could this be the power of the Dao of All Creation!"
The villagers had only heard of the Dao of All Creation, but not many had actually seen it.
"Stop!" Just as the villagers were in a state of panic, a voice suddenly rang out. Then, a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar walked over.
"General, you are in the Heavenly Reflection State, how dare you bully defenseless villagers?!"
"Who are you?" The black-faced general looked at the middle-aged man warily.
"I am Wang Anhua, a teacher from the Northern Mountain Village Hall of Dao. I am in charge of teaching at the Divine Constabulary!" Wang Anhua replied sternly.
"You are in charge of the Divine Constabulary?"
"Yes!"
"Kill them!" The black-faced general's expression darkened. If it was just a bunch of villagers spouting nonsense, he would not be afraid. However, this was a teacher from the Divine Constabulary. He had to be cautious.
When the other three deputies heard this, they understood what the black-faced general was thinking. Instantly, they charged towards Wang Anhua.
"General, how dare you!" Wang Anhua's expression changed. He had no intention of causing trouble, but he could not stand by and watch as the villagers were slaughtered.
"Bastards! Didn't you want to kidnap me and my wife to threaten my son? Today, I will make sure you all give up! " Fang Houde was an honest man, but when he saw this cruel scene, he could not help but curse at the Northern Mountain Village.
After he cursed, he placed a knife on his neck.
A trickle of blood seeped from the blade. It had cut through his skin.
Qin Xuelian, who was standing next to Fang Houde, also had a knife in her hand. She only needed to press it a little further to kill him.
"You... hang on!" The black-faced general's expression changed when he saw this.
If he could kidnap the couple in front of him... In that case, it was almost certain that Fang Zhengzhi would surrender. However, what if the two of them died?
He was not sure if he could capture Fang Zhengzhi.
What if Fang Zhengzhi refused to show up? What if he went to the capital and spread the news? It would be a disaster. No one knew what the consequences would be. If the roots were not removed, the weeds would grow again. Furthermore, he was a genius.
"Uncle Houde, no!"
"Brother Houde, don't do this!"
"Fang family, don't be stupid. If Zhengzhi comes back and sees this, we will all be ashamed!"
Zhang Yangping and Zhang Li gasped when they saw the knife on Fang Houde's neck. All of the other villagers screamed as well. Some of the villagers who had been saved by Fang Zhengzhi knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"They are here for Zhengzhi. I'm Zheng 'er's father, I'll take full responsibility for this. I can't watch you guys get hurt again! "Fang Houde said and prepared to take action.
"How dare you! You know that I am using you to threaten Fang Zhengzhi. If you die, no one in the Northern Mountain Village will be able to walk out alive! "The black faced general replied hurriedly.
"You..." Fang Houde's expression changed.
"Put down your knife and I will let you off. I will also speak up for Fang Zhengzhi in front of the army. Even though he killed two soldiers, he does not deserve to die. As long as Fang Zhengzhi turns himself in, everything will be decided by the army! "The black faced general continued. He was truly afraid that Fang Houde would commit suicide.
"Brother Houde, did you hear that? It's not a crime worthy of death. He might be fine after a few strokes of the board! "
"That's right, Fang family, put down your knife!"
"Uncle Houde, you can't let Zhengzhi scold us behind our backs!"
All of the villagers tried their best to dissuade him. None of them wanted to see Fang Houde die just like that.
"I, Fang Houde, have let down the Northern Mountain Village!" Fang Houde roared at the sky. The saber in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and he sat down on the ground powerlessly.
"Father!" Qin Xuelian was heartbroken to see Fang Houde in this state.
"Take him down, take him down!" The black-faced general saw that Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian had put down their swords and hurriedly shouted to a deputy general standing not far from Fang Houde.
The deputy heard the general's words and immediately turned around. He took two steps to Fang Houde's side and kicked the saber that Fang Houde had thrown on the ground away.
Then, he tied Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian up. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Kill!" The black-faced general felt a weight lift from his shoulders when he saw Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian being taken down. He turned his attention back to Wang Anhua.
"You … as soldiers, how can you go back on your words?!" Fang Houde was stunned when he heard the general's words.
"Fang Zhengzhi dares to kill an army soldier, he deserves to die! Wang Anhua has bewitched the hearts of the people and is plotting a rebellion. Today, I am here with the military token. I will carry out the military order on behalf of the military! "The black-faced general casually glanced at Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian and smiled coldly.
Now that things had come to this, why would he spare a teacher who had direct access to the Divine Constabulary? Even Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian would not be spared.
Even if they were used, they would be killed!
"Scum of the military, deceiving the people. If I, Wang Anhua, have the slightest chance of survival, I will use my entire life to sue you for your despicable actions!" Although Wang Anhua was a teacher of the Hall of Dao, he had not entered the Dao.
When he heard the black-faced general's words, he knew that his death was near. However, he had spent his entire life teaching. Even if he were to die, he would die with some dignity.
"That is if you have the ability to sue me!" The black-faced general snorted, ignoring Wang Anhua's taunts. He waved his black blade, sending a ray of fire towards Wang Anhua.
Wang Anhua did not dodge because the saber light was too fast. It was so fast that he had no chance of dodging it. As the saber light approached him, a pained expression appeared on Wang Anhua's face and he slowly closed his eyes.
"Boom!" A loud explosion rang out.
Flames soared into the sky and finally splashed in all directions, causing dust to fly everywhere.
"Am I dead? Where … am I? " Wang Anhua opened his eyes in confusion. He did not know if he was dead or alive, but he did not feel any pain.
Was the ray of light too fast?
It was said that when the speed of the blade reached a certain level, one would not feel any pain when they died.
When the dust settled, Wang Anhua sat on the ground. Then, his gaze froze. He realized that he was not dead. He was still in the Northern Mountain Village.
All of the villagers stared at him with wide eyes.
The black-faced general's eyes turned extremely cold at this moment. The three deputies' jaws dropped. The black-faced general's blade had actually been blocked?
"So fast!"
The three deputies didn't see it clearly because the light came too quickly. It came from afar and instantly blocked the black-faced general's blade.
It was at least three times faster than the general's ray of light.
"Who is it?!"
The hearts of the three deputy generals shook violently.
The black-faced general did not speak. He stared coldly at the spot in front of Wang Anhua. There was a sword stabbed into the ground.
A sword with a purple mark on its tip!
A demonic purple light was emitted from the tip of the sword, just like a drop of flowing blood. And now, that drop of blood was slowly becoming bigger, and was rapidly spreading towards the sword's blade …
