He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 355: Confiscating Their Households and Exterminating Their Clan

Not long after, Jiang Lin jumped out of the Hengyu furnace again in high spirits.

He was clearly spurting blood just now, but now he was like a chicken with blood injected. After coming out, he went straight to the third monster.

The invisible iceberg hit him, and Jiang Lin's mouth and nose started bleeding again, but he was much better than before. After all, he was the last one left.

He hugged the other person tightly and ran straight to the blacksmith's shop.

A man standing next to Qi the Blacksmith was dumbfounded, and suddenly asked in a strange way: "Do you feel that... Lord Jiang is now like a villain who robbed a woman?"

"It does have that flavor..." Qi the blacksmith said subconsciously, and then he reacted and turned around and shouted angrily: "What nonsense! Lord Jiang fought bloody battles, how can you compare him to a thief? Are you tired of living?"

The man quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, but he still couldn't help thinking in his heart that when the neighbor's daughter was kidnapped by a bully, everyone said she was jumping into a fire pit.

Sir Jiang, this is not a fire pit, but a stove.

The second blizzard lost its power and quickly dissipated.

The figures of Xie Yunfan and others gradually appeared. They looked miserable and were covered with wounds.

At least one-third of them have fallen to the ground lifeless.

An army of a thousand men has been able to hold out until now with only one-third of its troops lost, which is already strong enough.

The snowstorm dissipated and Xie Yunfan fell to his knees, panting.

The weapon in his hand was broken, his body was covered in blood, his clothes were tattered, and he looked like a beggar.

The performance of others was even worse than his. Many of them collapsed to the ground, seriously injured and unconscious on the spot.

Xie Yunfan raised his head with great effort, only to see a burly figure rushing into the blacksmith shop carrying something.

That seems to be... Lord Jiang?

When Xie Yunfan saw Jiang Lin holding the white monster and throwing himself into the fire, his eyes were bloodshot.

"Master Jiang!"

In his opinion, Jiang Lin wanted to die together with the enemy. Such tragic practices were very common among border troops.

But the order he received was to protect Jiang Lin at all costs.

Now, watching Lord Jiang throw himself into the furnace and burn himself, Xie Yunfan's eyes suddenly turned black. How could he explain this?

He looked down at the broken sword in his hand and felt sad.

I feel ashamed towards the Lieutenant General, and even more ashamed towards the Marshal.

I failed to protect Lord Jiang, so I can only die as an apology!
Using all his strength to prop up his legs and stand up, Xie Yunfan clenched the broken sword in his hand and staggered towards the blacksmith shop with deep despair.

He wanted to see Jiang Lin's body burning with his own eyes, completely reduced to ashes, and then commit suicide.

When the garrison commander of the Zhenshuo camp staggered to the blacksmith's shop, he saw only the fire rising inside and the burly figure tossing and turning inside.

He couldn't help but shudder all over, he had experienced the pain of being burned by flames before.

When attacking a city, the enemy doused him with kerosene. Although only one arm was burned, the pain was unforgettable.

Lord Jiang is in flames all over now, how painful must it be?

You can tell something by looking at the churning figures in the furnace.

"Master Jiang, I am sorry for you!" Xie Yunfan closed his eyes tightly, put the broken sword on his neck, and said sadly: "Let me go with you!"

As he said this, he was about to slit his own neck.

Suddenly, a puzzled voice came from my ear: "Where are you going, Master Xie?"

Xie Yunfan was stunned for a moment, then he opened his eyes and saw Jiang Lin walking towards him with a puzzled look on his face.

Jiang Lin, who had just come out of the furnace, saw Xie Yunfan holding a broken sword against his neck and felt completely confused.

Xie Yunfan stared at him in a daze and subconsciously asked, "You're not dead?"

"Why did he die?" Jiang Lin asked back.

"You are not, that stove...fire..." Xie Yunfan didn't know what to say.

Jiang Lin already understood what he meant. He looked back at the Hengyu furnace and said, "I built this furnace myself, how could it burn me to death?"

Xie Yunfan was stunned. Is this true?
If you build your own furnace, you won’t burn yourself to death?
It sounds like it makes sense, but it also seems weird.

Jiang Lin scanned the area again and found no trace of the fourth enemy, but he still did not let his guard down.

While continuing to carefully scan the surroundings, he asked, "How many casualties did the brothers suffer?"

Obviously, he was an official of the Ministry of Works, but when he spoke, he gave Xie Yunfan a sense of authority as if he was facing a lieutenant general or even a general.

He answered subconsciously: "I haven't had time to check yet."

"Let's go check on the brothers first." Jiang Lin said.

"Yes."

"Master!" Sheng Yingchun ran over quickly.

Jiang Lin turned around and saw Old Man Wei, Blacksmith Qi and others surrounding him.

They looked Jiang Lin up and down, and couldn't help but look at Hengyu Furnace with very strange expressions.

There was only a strange green fire in the furnace, and no trace of the strange man was seen, which obviously burned to ashes. But Jiang Lin went in and out of the furnace three times in a row, not only was he not burned to death, but he did not even look injured.

What's even more outrageous is that the clothes were not damaged at all and became cleaner than before.

No one present had ever come into contact with a holy weapon, so how could they understand that the Hengyu Furnace, which possessed an extremely high level of spirituality, could perfectly control the strange fire.

Burn whoever you want!
If you don't want to burn something, you won't touch it at all.

And its inherent repair ability even repaired Jiang Lin's injuries and the torn clothes.

"Master Jiang, are you okay?"

"Damn it, I don't know who sent the assassin to come to the Blacksmith Camp to commit murder!"

"Fortunately, Lord Jiang is so brave and invincible, otherwise I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to escape today."

Looking at the group of indignant blacksmiths, Jiang Lin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the danger is not completely eliminated now. We don't know if this is the only wave of enemies. To avoid hurting innocent people, please go to the garrison camp for protection immediately and don't stay here!"

Jiang Lin knew very well that the enemy was coming for him, not the entire blacksmith camp.

The first thought was that the powerful clans had learned that he was able to create a holy soldier and sent assassins.

Who else in the world would specifically target him except the powerful clans?
Jiang Lin also considered whether shooting the Western Yi archers with the Chaos Arrows he made would cause trouble.

But what effect can those hundreds of Chaos Arrows have?
Even though he had forged four holy-grade Chaos Arrows to kill the Ten Feather Archers, Hong Shuai had just left when he was attacked. It was obvious that they had prepared in advance.

After much thought, the most likely possibility is that the powerful clan is the one.

Qi the blacksmith and the others understood that they could not help much even if they stayed, so they went to the garrison camp obediently.

After a while, Xie Yunfan and the lieutenant general of the garrison camp came over together.

"Sir, I have already checked. A total of 1,225 people died, and the rest were injured to varying degrees." Xie Yunfan said.

The lieutenant general of the garrison camp looked at Xie Yunfan with some hesitation in his eyes, not knowing whether he should report to Jiang Lin.

This Lord Jiang is not from the Ministry of War, so the losses should have nothing to do with him.

But the border troops have all reported it, so it would seem a bit inappropriate if I don’t say anything?

At this moment, several powerful auras descended from the sky.

Among them were Marshal Yu, the Minister of War Deng Yufeng, the General Cai Xingchang, and several lieutenant generals of the garrison camps.

Seeing the mess in the blacksmith camp, Yu Shuai looked at him with a sharp gaze and asked, "What happened?"

When they felt the power released by the monster, they rushed over immediately, but the attack came quickly and ended just as quickly.

Jiang Lin stepped forward and said, "General Yu, I think that the powerful clans knew that I could forge holy soldiers, so they sent people to attack and kill me!"

"The previous aura of the holy weapon was indeed created by you." Yu Shuai looked at Jiang Lin with emotion, as if he did not expect that Jiang Lin could create a holy weapon in such a short time.

He didn't dwell on this topic any more. He looked around and asked, "Did the powerful clan send someone to kill you? Where is the killer?"

"I dragged him into the Hengyu furnace and burned him to death. Now he has turned into ashes." Jiang Lin said.

Yu Shuai was even more stunned after hearing this. The aura he felt was completely different from that of ordinary martial arts masters. It was a kind of power he had never encountered before.

If you could leave a body, you could still investigate where it came from, but if you burned the person into ashes, how can you investigate?
"What's the loss?" Cai Xingchang looked at Xie Yunfan.

Xie Yunfan hurriedly repeated the casualty figures, and the lieutenant general of the garrison battalion did the same.

Deng Yufeng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, looked at Jiang Lin, frowned, and asked, "Master Jiang, why do you think this must be a killer sent by a powerful clan?"

"Because I can forge holy soldiers, it is not good for the powerful clans. In the whole world, except for them, no one will want to kill me." Jiang Lin said firmly.

Deng Yufeng listened in silence. This was indeed the truth, but it didn't seem good to point the finger at the powerful clans without any basis.

Deng Yufeng was from the Ministry of War, and he was not as reckless as the border troops. After a brief thought, he said, "Sir Jiang, could you please tell us the killer's form, moves, weapons, and other information so that we can check it out."

Jiang Lin did not hide anything. After all, so many people were watching. He described the appearance, moves, and strength of the three monsters in detail.

However, after hearing his description, Yu Shuai, Cai Xingchang, and Deng Yufeng all changed their expressions slightly.

Seeing their expressions, Jiang Lin realized something was wrong and asked, "Do you know the origins of these killers? Which powerful clan are they from?"

Jiang Lin considers himself not a person who likes to hold grudges. If there is a grudge, he will take revenge on the spot. There is nothing to remember.

Deng Yufeng said, "If what Lord Jiang said is true, then this matter probably has nothing to do with the powerful clans."

"Why?" Jiang Lin asked.

"The assassin Lord Jiang described is very similar to a strange clan recorded in the secret records of the Ministry of War."

"It is rumored that thousands of years ago, the place where Daqian was located was a desolate land of ice and snow. The Dao ancestors of the three major Dao sects used their great power to change the world and moved this desolate land, along with the clans that lived there, to the easternmost part."

"It is said that the clan was formed from the essence of ice and snow, born and raised by nature, it is truly magical."

"And the place where the Ice and Snow Despair was moved to is the Eastern Border of Daqian, the Great Snow Mountain that is said to be insurmountable even by the gods in heaven."

Deng Yufeng paused for a moment, then continued, "If it was really that strange clan from the Great Snow Mountain that took action, then it naturally has nothing to do with the powerful clans."

Jiang Lin fell silent. Deng Yufeng thought he was worried about something and was about to say a few words to comfort him, but he heard Lord Jiang suddenly shout.

"The powerful clan dared to collude with foreign tribes and attack and kill the imperial officials. They deserve to be put to death! Please immediately report to His Majesty and investigate this matter. Confiscate the property of all those involved and exterminate their clans!"

Not only Deng Yufeng was stunned, but Lian Yushuai, Cai Xingchang, and the lieutenant generals of the garrison camp who followed were also stunned.
