A veteran of the frontier army, after marrying a wife, fought his way through the northern border.

The Beggar Gang was mostly composed of vagrants and deserters.

They would impersonate Tartars and gather in the mountains and forests, operating near various villages under the jurisdiction of Pinglu County.

They committed numerous acts of massacre, genocide, and human trafficking.

The people hated the Beggar Gang with a passion.

These bandits were cunning and had multiple hideouts in the mountains to evade government raids.

The county magistrate repeatedly sent county soldiers into the mountains to clear out the culprits, but to no avail.

The leader of the Beggars' Gang is named Wang Tu, nicknamed Black Yama. He is ruthless and has a military background.

He was burly, dressed in leather armor, and wielded a wrought iron mace.

I never expected them to come out in broad daylight and stop passersby.

At this moment, Wang San and his three companions were pinned to the ground by the bandits.

With more than a dozen gleaming broadswords held to his neck, he didn't even dare to think of resisting.

The last time Chenjia Village resisted, it took five militiamen and more than a dozen villagers to be injured before they were repelled.

This time, the other side had more people, so we had no choice but to accept defeat.

Wang Tu looked at Luo Yunxiao's donkey cart in the distance and shouted, "You few from Chenjia Village, obediently hand over the donkey cart and supplies. We only want your money, not your lives."

Anyone who resists will be killed on the spot!

When they were still ten paces away from the Beggars' Gang, Luo Yunxiao stopped the donkey cart.

Suddenly, a gust of wind arose, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Luo Yunxiao picked up the short spear, and Qin Hongxiu grabbed the short knife.

The two men stood in front of the donkey cart, quietly watching the bandits before them.

"Boss, these two seem defiant; they look like they're trained in martial arts!"

"You're asking for it! Brothers, take them down!"

The man was killed and fed to the wolves, while the woman stayed to be the bandit's wife!

Wang Tu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and a dozen or so of his gang members swarmed around Luo Yunxiao.

"I'll go first. You stay behind and protect the Yunshang sisters. Be careful."

"Don't worry, my husband, these petty thieves can't hurt me."

Luo Yunxiao smiled at Qin Hongxiu, and the next moment he charged into the crowd with a short spear in hand!

Facing the oncoming broadsword, he used the standard evasive footwork of a special forces soldier from his previous life.

The lance was slanted and struck the opponent's wrist joint with precision.

With a crisp snap, the broadsword slipped from his hand, and immediately the spearhead shot out like a venomous snake, piercing his throat.

Blood splattered everywhere, but Luo Yunxiao didn't stop. Using the momentum, he spun around and swept his spear across the bandits' knees, ribs, and other vital points.

The fallen bandits either suffered broken bones and lost consciousness, or died on the spot.

Block, seize, stab!

Although he only knows the basic moves of marksmanship.

But he used special forces combat skills to their fullest potential.

As he moved swiftly, no one could even touch the hem of his clothes.

Within a few breaths, six corpses were left on the ground.

Seeing that Luo Yunxiao was too fierce, three clever guys avoided the sharp edge of the short spear and slipped past from both sides to slash at Qin Hongxiu.

Little did he know that this woman was even more difficult to deal with.

Qin Hongxiu drew her short sword and unleashed the Seven Techniques of the Qin Family's Border Defense, the sword slashing and creating a whooshing sound.

With the blade, he parried the iron fork, and with the second move, he slit the opponent's neck.

As he spun around, he thrust his third knife into the heart of the bandit behind him.

His moves were fierce and swift, all of them deadly.

There wasn't a single unnecessary movement.

The Su sisters, who knew no martial arts, hid behind the donkey cart, observing the battle. One of them called out to Qin Hongxiu, "Hongxiu, watch out from the side! There's another one attacking from behind!"

Qin Hongxiu had ears everywhere and could deal with these petty thieves with ease.

Luo Yunxiao turned his head and saw Qin Hongxiu's nimble movements, and he felt relieved.

Wang Tu watched his men fall one after another, his eyes blazing with rage.

He was a late-stage martial arts apprentice and had also served in the army. He could discern the techniques and methods in Luo Yunxiao's movements.

That's not how ordinary border troops operate; this kid's a tough one!

He didn't think he was confident he could beat Luo Yunxiao.

But he couldn't bear the loss of face, nor could he bear to part with the grain he had. He immediately roared:

"Keep going, all of you! We, the Beggars' Gang, have never suffered a loss. He won't last long! We'll wear him down!"

Luo Yunxiao knocked down another man, pointing his spear at Wang Tu: "You can try and see if I can wipe you all out."

"A bluff! Whoever can kill him will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"

With a wave of his hand, Wang Tu bestowed rewards on the spot.

Upon hearing the reward of a hundred taels of silver, the remaining twenty-odd men instantly turned red with rage and charged forward fearlessly!

The Beggars' Gang has been established for several years.

Those who have survived with Wang Tu until now are all ruthless people who have seen blood.

The wind picked up, and the snow fell heavier and heavier.

Luo Yunxiao charged into the crowd again, spear in hand, the shaft flying up and down, blood splattering everywhere.

The number of members in the Beggars' Gang was dwindling. Luo Yunxiao brandished his short spear, silently counting the gang members he had killed.

Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen...

His ability to hit the target every time was due to his scout's intuition, which allowed him to anticipate the enemy's moves.

Anticipate the opponent's movements in advance to find their weaknesses and accurately eliminate them.

Qin Hongxiu behind him was also in a bloodthirsty frenzy. When her short sword became dull, she switched to a shovel she had picked up and continued hacking.

At this point, eight people had already fallen around her.

"Damn... the old man is tough, and that girl is so skilled too. I've never heard of any martial arts masters in Chenjia Village!"

Wang Tu was both anxious and angry. Seeing that there were less than ten people left out of the thirty-five, his legs began to tremble and he kept backing away.

Luo Yunxiao immediately saw through this guy's attempt to slip away.

With a leap, he deflected the attacks of the three men with the shaft of his spear, and the spearhead, swirling with snow, aimed straight for Wang Tu's throat!

"Kid, I'll fight you to the death!"

Wang Tu, in a desperate gamble, swung his spiked club.

Luo Yunxiao used the spear shaft to entangle the spiked club, then twisted his wrist sharply, causing the club to slip from his grasp.

The spearhead rose sharply, precisely piercing Wang Tu's throat!

Wang Tu shouted, "Wait, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a chill in his throat as the spearhead pierced through the back of his neck.

Blood was splattered all over the ground, a shocking sight.

Luo Yunxiao kicked the corpse into the snowdrift and slammed the spearhead into the ground.

His blood was churning, and steam was rising from his head like a steamer, giving him a fierce and menacing appearance.

The remaining six men turned green with fear and lost all will to fight.

He turned around and tried to run away.

Luo Yunxiao roared, "Who dares to run! Lay down your weapons, leave your belongings, and we'll give you a proper burial!"

The remaining six people, upon hearing Luo Yunxiao's roar, froze in place like mice encountering a cat.

The six men looked around, and one of them dropped the pitchfork he was holding.

They knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Hero, spare our lives! We are also people from a neighboring county. We joined the begging gang because we had no other choice. We will never dare to do evil again!"

Upon seeing this, the others also dropped their weapons, knelt down, and begged for mercy.

At this moment, Wang San, Ma Liu, Liu Wangcai, and Zhao Yaodi, who were squatting to the side, were dumbfounded.

The four of them watched helplessly as Luo Yunxiao and Qin Hongxiu joined forces.

They slaughtered more than thirty bandits, leaving them in a sorry state.

This combat power is terrifying!

Is this still the Luo Yunxiao they know?

Why does he seem like a completely different person after marrying his wife?

The Beggar Gang has over thirty members, each one vicious and ruthless; each of them has several lives on their hands.

That Wang Tu was a master in the late stage of martial arts apprenticeship.

Without the intervention of over a hundred county soldiers, there was no chance of victory.

However, Luo Yunxiao killed more than twenty people by himself.

Even the most ruthless Wang Tu died on the spot after only a few moves against Luo Yunxiao.

Only those with a martial arts mid-stage or higher cultivation level can do this.

"It's too late to beg for mercy now!"

"Anyone among you who hasn't killed someone, step forward."

Luo Yunxiao gripped his short spear tightly, his face ashen as he stared at the six people in front of him.

If any of them hadn't killed innocent civilians, Luo Yunxiao would actually let them go.

But he was certain that none of these people were innocent.

The six people looked at each other, wanting to step forward but not daring to.

They had all indeed killed people.

Killing someone to pledge allegiance is the rule for joining the Beggars' Gang.

Otherwise, Wang Tu would not have taken them in.

"Since you have murder on your hands, why should I let you go!"

Having said that, Luo Yunxiao no longer held back, his spear flashing like the wind, piercing the hearts of the five men in the blink of an eye.

The remaining person hurriedly ran up the mountain, only to be hurled a short spear by Luo Yunxiao.

The sharp spearhead pierced the bandit's back, drawing out a cloud of blood, before firmly embedding itself in the mountainside.

As the last person fell to the ground.

The surroundings fell silent again.

The entire 35-member Beggar Gang was wiped out.

The mountain path was now stained red with the bandits' blood, resembling a hellish battlefield.

Luo Yunxiao began looting the bags, searching the corpses on the ground one by one.

A total of fifty-two taels of silver and five wrought iron broadswords were seized.

There was also a spiked club.

He didn't want the rest of the wooden sticks and iron forks.

Recalling the empty promises Wang Tu had made to his gang, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Poor wretch.

There's no such thing as a hundred taels of silver as a reward. All your silver combined doesn't even amount to a hundred taels!

However, this time the income was fifty-two taels, plus the seven taels he already had, for a total of fifty-nine taels.

I've made another small fortune!
