Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 16 Big Harvest

The sudden appearance of attackers from behind, along with Dong Xing's death, threw the Zhang family into chaos.

After all, their usual role is that of thugs and outlaws, and having a large number of them bullying a small number might be enough.

But they encountered a regular army, and a border army that had just come from the battlefield.

There is absolutely no chance of winning, even if the number of people doubles.

Especially after Dong Xing's death, there was no one to lead them.

Therefore, the moment they made contact, it was a one-sided massacre.

Lu Ming was especially angry today.

He was glad that Zhang Meng had returned, and that he had brought back a group of people. Otherwise, the best outcome for him today would have been to fight his way out of the encirclement with his wife.

As for the centurion's office, all their efforts these past few days have been in vain.

From then on, they might become refugees and be held accountable by the imperial court.

He dared not even think about the worst possible outcome, so his only thought now was to kill.

Kill all of them, let them know what happens when they mess with me.

Inside the Hundred Households Office, Sun Tian and his men, who had been in despair, were instantly energized after Lu Ming arrived. With the help of those inside and outside, they slaughtered the Zhang family members without any chance to fight back.

Lu Ming's blade was incredibly fast; whenever its cold light flashed, someone was sure to be killed.

He pounced forward like a hungry tiger, his legs spread apart, and kicked two members of the Zhang family in the chest at the same time.

When the other person is kicked down.

The long knife was already slicing across their necks.

"Stab!"

With just one stab, the two men were clutching each other's necks and rolling on the ground.

Lu Ming did not stop; he continued forward.

"Bang!" The blade slashed at the collarbone of a Zhang family steward.

Under the moonlight, his bone fragments were clearly visible.

He let out a wail and collapsed to the ground.

Looking at Lu Ming's methods, Wang Han's eyes showed surprise, but also a hint of admiration.

Actually, when he came here, he didn't think much of a township's thousand-household garrison, especially since it was a newly promoted one.

His impression of Lu Ming, the centurion, was also ordinary.

They only act respectfully because they need to make a living.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ming was so fierce and brave. Even among the border troops, he would not be outstanding. In any case, I am not as good as him.

"It seems I've followed a good person," Wang Han thought to himself.

Then, the fighting resumed.

The battle lasted for a full hour.

The commotion only stopped when all the members of the Zhang family were lying in pools of blood.

Lu Ming glanced around.

"Wang Han, carry the injured brothers into the house. Zhang Meng, go find a doctor."

As he spoke, he walked toward the backyard.

"Crench!"

The door opened.

Looking at Li Xiyue holding a kitchen knife, Lu Ming felt a pang of heartache.

"Clang!"

The kitchen knife was thrown on the ground. Li Xiyue walked over in a few steps and hugged Lu Ming tightly.

It was as if they were afraid he would leave.

"Don't worry, it's all over now," Lu Ming said, gently patting his wife's back.

"Yes, I believe you." Li Xiyue nodded.

"Go to sleep, I'm right next to you."

Lu Ming took his wife to the bedside and watched her gradually fall asleep.

His eyes darkened, and then he opened the data panel.

"Ah!"

Lu Ming couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise.

I was shocked when I saw it; the gains were enormous, I gained a total of over 103,000 points.

That's understandable, though. He already had over 20,000 points, and then he took in Wang Han and the others. Tonight, he killed so many members of the Zhang family.

It would be strange if he didn't have many points.

Then, I frantically scrolled through the online store.

After becoming a centurion, the shop unlocked an extra page of items.

[Method for refining Body Tempering Soup, 10,000 points]

[30,000 points in "The Art of War"]

[Forging Method for the Mo Dao (陌刀), 5000 points]

[Exquisite Xuan Guang Mountain Pattern Armor, 3000 points]

[10,000 points in "The Formation of the Mo Dao"]

Looking at the dazzling array of items in the store, Lu Ming didn't hesitate at all and immediately redeemed all the items he wanted.

Leaving aside the method of refining the Body Tempering Soup, this is something that only powerful families can control. With this, one can create a group of elites.

The "Hundred Battles Military Manual" is even more remarkable. It is a military training method that is very different from ordinary training methods. Its advantage is that anyone can cultivate it. Although it is difficult to reach the top, it is easy to enter the realm of cultivation.

It is said that every king and marquis of the Great Yu Dynasty possessed a military training manual, and it was through this manual that they were able to be appointed as kings and generals and stand at the pinnacle of the Great Yu Dynasty.

Although individual combat skills are equally important in this world.

However, it is extremely difficult for one person to build a powerful force.

Needless to say, the Mo Dao (陌刀) filled a gap in his cavalry force.

The accompanying Mo Dao formation is naturally indispensable.

After exchanging these items.

Lu Ming only had a little over 50,000 points left.

"I should be able to exchange for the 'Dragon Elephant Strength' when I get back tomorrow."

He muttered to himself.

That's right. In the system shop just now, he saw a cultivation technique called "Dragon Elephant Strength". After mastering it, one can obtain the power of ten dragons and ten elephants.

But it requires 150,000 points.

However, he was in no hurry.

After today, everything will change. He will not only build Fenglei Town into his own territory, but also an impregnable fortress.

Furthermore, one must strive to achieve a qualitative improvement in one's own abilities.

Many plans can be implemented after the Zhang family is destroyed.

Then, the armor was taken out from the system space.

It was entirely black, covered with iron plates that resembled fine scales, and had a wide, thick belt around its waist.

There are two dark gold tiger head shoulder pads.

After Lu Ming put it on, his tall and handsome figure appeared even more robust.

Then, with the long sword at his waist, he walked out.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Zhang Meng came up to him and said, "Sir, more than fifty of the brothers from the centurion's office have died, and three of the brothers from the border army have died."

Lu Ming nodded. Although he was prepared, he still felt somewhat saddened upon hearing the news.

"How many are still capable of fighting and killing?"

“The Zhang family was too ruthless. None of them were seriously injured; they were either lightly injured or all of them died. The remaining brothers are all ready to go to the battlefield.” Zhang Meng’s cloudy eyes were bloodshot.

Lu Ming nodded.

"Those who can go to the battlefield, come with me. We'll wipe out the Zhang family tonight, and we'll have a victory celebration tomorrow!"

“We’ll do whatever the lord says!” Wang Han was the first to step forward and pledge his loyalty.

After witnessing Lu Ming's skills, he felt only admiration for this centurion, and had no other thoughts.

Zheng Yong's strong upper body was wrapped in blood-soaked strips of cloth. He didn't speak, but simply gripped his long knife, making his stance clear.

On the roof, Sun Tian ordered his men to dismantle the crossbow.

"Zhang Meng, take thirty men and guard the base. The rest of you, follow me!"

From the moment Zhang Meng returned from the prefectural city, he became Lu Ming's confidant. Although he was not strong, his loyalty was an advantage.

After Lu Ming finished speaking, he walked out of the courtyard gate.

The others followed him out in single file.

On the dark streets of Fenglei Town, a long dragon gradually formed.
