Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 140 Cleaning Up the Dregs
"court death!"

On horseback, the young man in his brocade hat and sable coat already had tears in his eyes.

In the instant of anger, the long sword at his waist was already drawn, and a chilling sword aura surged three feet along the blade. Showing no mercy, he slashed down at Yue Fei with ruthless intent to take his life!

Young people are naturally full of vigor and vitality!
But even though the other party was in the wrong first, they are still so relentless!

Even with Yue Fei's magnanimous nature, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger at this behavior.

Click!

In an instant, he took the broadsword from his back and combined it with the ironwood staff he had kneaded in his hand.

A simple long-handled broadsword was instantly formed.

The sword was twelve feet long, but when Yue Fei held it in his hand, it did not seem too long at all.

With a blade in hand, Yue Fei's muscles stretched and writhed, and with the twisting of his spine, the blade flashed down like lightning.

boom!
Amidst the mournful howling of the air, the arm of the richly dressed youth that held the sword shot into the sky with blood, rolling down into the dust and mud.

"Ah! My hand, my hand is gone! I'll kill you, I'll slaughter your whole family!"

The young man surnamed Li fell to the ground, his fair face contorted in pain as he groped for his severed arm while wailing.

Yue Fei, his face also slightly pale, clasped his hands and addressed the surroundings,
"Today's events were provoked by this person; I was merely retaliating passively. I hope everyone..."

He was just a young man over sixteen.

Before that, although he had secretly gone to the outskirts of Bianjing to witness that battle without telling his elderly mother, he had gained a lot of knowledge.

Ultimately, he had experienced too little.

Wow!

A group of people were discussing it.

"Isn't that the only son of Magistrate Li from Yunzhou? How did he end up in such a sorry state?"

"It is said that after Li Tongpan became wealthy, he established a family outside the capital and completely neglected his only son!"

"Let's go quickly. He's a scourge of Yunzhou. Cutting off his arm is like ridding the people of a menace. It's just a pity about this young man..."

The surrounding pedestrians were talking about it, but no one was willing to speak up for them. They just acted as if it was none of their business and quickly moved away!
"Pengju! Let's go! This family is quite powerful and not to be trifled with!"

Only a young man from Yue Fei's hometown stepped forward and tugged at his sleeve.

Yue Fei lowered his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"During the Song Dynasty, these people preyed on the local people and acted tyrannically! Now, in the new Xia Dynasty, these people still hold high positions..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was pulled away by his fellow villagers and disappeared into the crowd.

Only the once dashing young man, now disheveled and with a missing arm, remained, struggling on the ground.

"This young man... suits my taste! Now that the new dynasty has just been established, in order to avoid causing turmoil and widespread suffering, too many compromises have been made."

"But once the imperial examinations for military officers are held and a new generation of officers is trained, those reckless individuals will inevitably have to be replaced."

"This child is an excellent choice in terms of both talent and character, and should be given serious consideration!"

Deep within the crowd, disguised as a wealthy old man, Zong Ze stroked his long beard and nodded slowly.
"By the way... we should also clean up some of the rubbish..."

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

The subordinate standing to the side bowed and agreed.

He was secretly astonished, for no one knew better than him just how high the eyes of this Grand Commandant, who was so favored by the Emperor.

Being noticed by him means you're on the verge of a meteoric rise to success!

Rumble!
As the group was talking, the ground suddenly trembled slightly.

A few breaths later, a magnificent caravan, kicking up clouds of dust, sped towards the end of the road. A young man with a full forehead, dressed in a blue robe, sat astride a tall horse. Seeing the crowds making it difficult for the carriage to move, he brandished his long whip, cutting across the road.
"A bunch of pigs trying to climb to heaven! Don't block the way and ruin my master's good deed!"

Looking at the flags fluttering on the vehicle frame, someone's anger subsided by a third, and he said with a malicious glint in his eye,
"Isn't this the dog lackey of Magistrate Li of Yunzhou? Your young master had his arm chopped off up ahead, and you're still here!"

After saying this, he immediately used his movement technique and disappeared into the depths of the crowd.

"What did you say!"

The young man on horseback had a face full of anger, with veins bulging, but he was secretly overjoyed.

As Li Gang's illegitimate son, he had long wanted that playboy to die!
Unexpectedly, he received such great news just on his way to the martial arts tournament!

Despite his inner thoughts, his face showed a look of anxiety.
"Master! The eldest young master..."

"Humph!"

A loud shout rang out, and billowing smoke stirred up layers of air currents, lifting the curtain of the carriage.

Those pedestrians within ten meters turned pale, feeling as if their hearts had been struck by a heavy hammer, and their blood flowed sluggishly.

call!
Deep within the thick air currents, the carriage curtain was lifted by a servant.

A middle-aged man with white hair and beard, and a body as tall as a bear, stepped out of the carriage!
Li Gang, his robes fluttering, surveyed his surroundings before finally fixing his fierce gaze on the crowd to the northwest.
"You little beast, trying to run away!"

boom!
With a flick of his wrist, his third-grade qi crisscrossed, sweeping across a distance of over ten zhang.
"Where is my son? Take me to see him! Otherwise... you can die right now!"

At that moment, the ill intent on the man's face vanished completely.

He never expected that this old scoundrel of the third rank would be so perceptive, even though they were dozens of feet apart and there were dense neighings of men and horses in between!
Yet they still managed to pinpoint his location precisely.

But now that things have come to this, how could he dare to play dumb with a third-rank martial arts master, who is also the military commander of a prefecture?

He quickly described what had happened earlier, along with the physical characteristics of Yue Fei and his fellow townsmen.

He then led Li Gang and his men to find his eldest son, whom he had previously disregarded.

"Dad...save me!"

The young man lay in a pool of blood, clutching his severed arm, barely clinging to life.

Li Gang lowered his eyes.
"You're very good..."

Having obtained the answer he wanted, he flicked his rough fingers, instantly drawing in an invisible current of air!

Zheng!
The man leading the way suddenly drew his short sword and pierced through the chest of Li Gang's only son.

Li Gang's expression was indifferent, but a surge of fierce energy emanated from him!
Crunch! Plop!

A thick mist of blood exploded!

With a sickening metallic creak, the short sword shattered, and the man leading the way was killed instantly by an invisible force that pierced his chest.

Facing the horrified gazes of countless people, Li Gang calmly brushed away the bloodstains floating on his robes and said softly,
"How dare you! In broad daylight, you actually dared to attack and kill the son of a high-ranking official! I... have no choice but to punish you on the spot!"

Countless pedestrians were horrified.

Li Gang, bathed in the gazes of countless people, nonchalantly walked to the carriage, ready to step onto it once more.

He didn't care much about the son born to his legal wife.

Especially after his wife's family was raided and their property confiscated for resisting the new Xia dynasty.

Tread!

At the end of the road, a rough, low voice rang out, and a simply dressed scholar with deep, unfathomable eyes...
"Bullying the weak and killing people in the street! Li Gang... how dare you!"

boom!
Li Gang, who had been so arrogant just moments before, slowly turned his neck, his posture stiffening slightly.
