Distant Mountain Battle Song

Chapter 54 I'm going to kill you, it has nothing to do with you.
After being tricked by Zhang Min and beaten up by a group of people, Yun Ce realized that he was far from being able to act recklessly.

Having gnawed on dragon eggshells and embarked on a cosmic journey powerful enough to alter genetic programming, Yun Ce believed that his arrival here was a divine descent.

As a result, being shot with an arrow really hurts, being shot with a crossbow bolt is excruciating, and being hit in the chest with a hammer will cause chest tightness and shortness of breath. Even a little bit of neurotoxin can make him dizzy and lightheaded, so one should not be careless.

Before me stood a metal house; who knows what unknown dangers lurked within.

The Yu family mansion has now become the core of the battle between the rebels and the government troops. Just by listening to the fierce fighting in the front yard, one can tell that Pei Chuan and Hong Guniang also know the principle of capturing the leader first.

Lord Yu was the lord of Sheyang City, and he served as the lord of Sheyang City for many years. It is said that this was the object he picked up when he was one year old and had to choose his first birthday present. At that time, the lord of Sheyang City offered his seal as a toy for this child who came from a wealthy family.

A one-year-old child, faced with hundreds of dazzling items for the baby's first birthday celebration, ignored those gaudy and cheap things and quickly crawled to the city lord's seal, grabbed it, and wouldn't let go.

The next day, the city lord of Sheyang City became him, a one-year-old child.

A person with money and power will eventually turn into a terrifying person, and Yun Ce knows this all too well.

Yun Ce didn't believe that the rich and powerful were surrounded by sycophants and good-for-nothings. Who told you that a person with both wisdom and courage isn't a sycophant? And who told you that there aren't brilliant strategists among the good-for-nothings?

Just look at the scene before you and you'll understand. The front yard was guarded by government soldiers, and now it's a mess of brains. The back yard was guarded by Lord Yu's own people, and now, only Yun Ce has barged in, and he can't do anything about their iron house. The difference in their strength is obvious.

Lord Yu has not called for help yet. Yun Ce applauded his confidence and decided to set the house on fire to see what would happen.

Although the metal used to cast the green coins is unknown, its properties are similar to those of aluminum on Earth: it is lightweight, ductile, and has high thermal conductivity.

This small building has two floors and is only about fifty square meters in size. The lobby on the first floor is spacious and looks like a furnace. If you heat it up even slightly, the people inside will definitely turn into roast pigs.

Guided by the dog, Yun Ce quickly returned carrying two large buckets of lamp oil, with a huge bag of candles as thick as a human arm dragging behind him.

After breaking the oil lamp barrel, Yun Ce threw it into the hall. After the grease had spread for a while, he threw in a torch, and the hall immediately burst into flames.

Seeing the flames burning fiercely, Yun Ce couldn't help but marvel at how well the ventilation of the small metal building was designed; it was truly the work of a master.

The good ventilation meant the room was suitable for starting a fire, so he threw in a large bag of candles to help it burn. The lamp oil and the melted candles quickly created a burst of flames in the hall, which was very effective at drawing air out of the metal room.

The roof was slowly descending, seemingly trying to extinguish the flames. Yun Ce, who had anticipated this move, reluctantly threw two life-sized white gemstone statues of beautiful women from the courtyard into the roof to prop it up and prevent it from falling further.

The statue of the beautiful woman is so lifelike that the silk-like clothes she wears spontaneously combust when exposed to fire, and her smooth body seems to come alive as it is scorched by the flames.

Yu Gong was indeed a woman of wealth and status; his portraits of beauties do not depict the chest and buttocks as dark and unsightly areas, making him far more refined than the women of Huaqing Pool in Lintong, Shaanxi.

He scooped a bucket of water from the fishpond and poured it onto the roof. With a hiss, steam rose up. Yun Ce thought it was about right. Even if Lord Yu liked saunas, this temperature would cook him alive.

After waiting a while longer, there was still no movement from the small building. Yun Ce sighed and said to Gouzi, "He escaped through the tunnel. Find him for me."

A silver thread emerged from the wristband, searched around for a moment, and then pointed straight at Yun Ce's back.

Turning around, I saw Yu Gong being carried out of the small building behind me. From afar, I could hear Yu Gong laughing and saying, "Young people just don't know how to cherish good things. This small building is the masterpiece of the master craftsman He Donglou. Now you've burned it to a pile of scrap metal. What a pity."

Yun Ce glanced at the endless stream of people emerging from the small building, his face twitched, and he laughed, "It's just a small matter, why does Lord Yu need to make such a fuss?"

Sitting on the palanquin, Lord Yu raised his pair of white, jade-like feet and said, "I cherish these feet more than my life. How can this be a trivial matter?"

"Come, come, let me introduce you to some friends. They are all famous heroes of the Han Dynasty. You are all young, so it's a good opportunity for you to get to know each other."

Yun Ce looked down at his wristband and heard the dog's voice in his ear.

"I was ordered to harm lives, not on my own initiative, right? Besides, look at me now, are you sure I was sent to harm lives? Am I right?"

Yun Ce looked at the guy at the front carrying two chain hammers bigger than his head and said seriously, "Yes, it was my order, not that you developed your own consciousness."

"I have written down your answer."

After the dog finished answering, it dispersed into strands of barely perceptible silk threads, which hung down into the grass and disappeared.

Seeing that Yun Ce was looking around haphazardly and ignoring him, Lord Yu pointed to the burly man at the front carrying a meteor hammer and said, "Zheng Hu, be careful when you hit him, don't kill him with one blow."

Zheng Hu nodded, took a step forward, and the meteor hammer flew towards Yun Ce's chest before him, its force fierce and unparalleled, clearly showing that he did not take Yu Gong's words to heart.

Yun Ce reached out and tightly hugged the meteor hammer, which was the size of a human head. Zheng Hu's eyes narrowed at the sight, and the other hammer head spun almost halfway through the air before smashing down towards Yun Ce's head. Yun Ce pulled back forcefully while holding the meteor hammer, and the iron chain that was originally wrapped around Zheng Hu's arm creaked and spun a few times. The radius of the meteor hammer shortened, and it grazed Yun Ce's nose before hitting the ground. Zheng Hu's arm looked as if it had been skinned, with flesh mangled and bloody.

Yun Ce exerted his strength again, and Zheng Hu's arm was severed by the iron chain. He obtained a chain hammer, which Yun Ce then swung at Yu Gong.

The chain hammer slammed into a giant shield, shattering it. The person behind the shield coughed up blood and collapsed. Yun Ce retrieved the chain hammer and swung it down again, smashing it down hard.

Lord Yu's face turned ashen as he looked around at the people who stood motionless in frustration. Fortunately, a few palanquin bearers jumped out and risked their lives to bump into the meteor hammer.

The man was so strong that he deflected the meteor hammer's trajectory, forcing it to crash to the ground along with his body.

Lord Yu raised his hand to wipe the blood and flesh smeared on his face, staring blankly at Yun Ce and asked, "What did you do to them?"

Before Yun Ce could answer, a woman's voice rang out from not far away.

"It's nothing more than the tricks of monsters. I've heard that the Pig King, Pig Fury, can shoot the bristles on the back of his neck like crossbow bolts. Moreover, the person hit by the arrow is outwardly unharmed, but suffers unbearable pain and cannot move."

Yun Ce smacked his lips and looked at Zhang Min who was walking over, saying, "I feel like I'm becoming more and more like a pig demon."

After speaking, he said to Lord Yu, "Lord Yu, do you have any aphrodisiacs here?"

Yu Gong glanced at Zhang Min and chuckled, "Such a beautiful woman is most suited to a romantic evening under the flowers and moon. Wouldn't drinking aphrodisiacs spoil the mood?"

Yun Ce slowly swung the chain hammer and said, "Because I want to kill her. A woman like her, who would sell out her own father and brothers for a little profit, must be thick-skinned and tough. Without aphrodisiacs, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

Lord Yu raised his cane and pushed the nearest warrior. The warrior fell straight to the ground, his eyes still blinking, but he couldn't move.

"It seems I underestimated you. Did you really come here just because a little girl died?"

Yun Ce nodded and said, "That's the truth. As the city lord, you made a mistake by letting a child who should be enjoying the protection of his parents sit by the roadside eating dirt."

Lord Yu frowned and said, "Isn't it because her parents were incompetent?"

"Are you saying that because your parents are more powerful, you deserve to enjoy everything?"

"Isn't that so?"

"no!"

"What is the rationale behind this?"

"Think for yourself, look for your own faults. If you find them, you may become a noble person, a person who has transcended vulgar interests."

Yu Gong turned around and looked at Zhang Min, who had arrived behind him, and said, "Look at him, he even made me find a reason to kill me. How domineering is that?"

Zhang Min gestured for the servants to carry Lord Yu back slowly, then faced Yun Ce directly, pointing his giant sword at Yun Ce and saying, "I've eaten a lot of pigs in my life. Don't you want to avenge your clan?"

Yun Ce shouted at Yu Gong, "Until now, all I want is your legs. If you run, I will chase you to the ends of the earth and take your life."

Zhang Min chuckled and said to Yu Gong, "It is said that pigs have an incredibly keen sense of smell. It has already memorized your scent and certainly has the ability to hunt you down from afar."

Yun Ce steadied himself, exhaled, and the meteor hammer he was slowly swinging came crashing down with immense force once more. Zhang Min quickly dodged.

Yun Ce suddenly loosened the iron chain in his hand, and the chain hammer smashed into the head of another servant carrying the palanquin. With a tooth-grinding sound of bones breaking, the servant was actually smashed to pieces by the hammer.

Faced with such a fierce and savage Yun Ce, Duke Yu lost his mood for laughter for the first time.

Yun Ce walked over and pushed aside the two other servants who were standing there stiffly. He was covered in blood and bowed his head to Yu Gong, saying, "I really need your feet to pay homage to that dead girl."

Lord Yu sighed and said, "I have money, lots of money."

Yun Ce reached out and said, "Give it to me!"

"If I pay you, you won't cut off my feet?"

"No, I can cut it gently!"
