Several dark figures burst out of the water like ghosts, rushing straight towards us!

"Kill the warhorses first!"

"Without a horse, even a tiger on land has to lie down in the river!"

With several loud shouts, countless grappling hooks flew out, aiming straight for the horse's legs and neck.

The sharp blade cut through the wind, and several fine horses broke their hooves and fell into the water, instantly killed by the attackers in the river.

Amidst the commotion, Chuk leaped from his horse, soaring into the air before landing on a pile of rocks.

When Wu Song saw his horse being attacked, he was not afraid at all. Instead, his eyes lit up and he was filled with heroic spirit.

I felt like something was missing when I was riding the horse just now!

He reached out and grabbed the grappling hook, pulling with all his might, and actually dragged the person who was lying in ambush at the bottom of the river out of the water.

Wu Song kicked him again, and the man was sent flying into the air toward the shore.

Wu Song used the momentum to leap and land steadily on the shore, standing like an iron tower, dignified and imposing.

Just as Hu Sanniang was reining in her horse, ready to fight, she suddenly heard a mournful neigh, and her horse's legs were abruptly severed by a hooked sickle from the water.

Then the horse suddenly overturned, and after a cry of alarm, she was about to fall into the river along with the overturned horse.

Chu Ke had no time to think. He tiptoed over the rocks in the river, leaped into the air, and grabbed Hu Sanniang's arm.

But this also made him a sitting duck for the river ghosts.

The next moment, countless silver hooks and chains flew through the air, all aimed at Chu Ke's body.

Chu Ke remained calm and composed, using one arm to gently hold Hu Sanniang's soft body and securely leaning her to his side.

He secretly channeled the "Great Vajra Palm," one of the Eighteen Shaolin Arts, into his right palm, and the energy in his palm exploded outwards!

It was the state of "when Prajna opens its palm, all laws are shattered"; the silver hook shattered upon contact, the flying chain was shattered upon encounter, and the encirclement dissipated in an instant.

Three heads emerged from the water not far away. Seeing Chuk's divine power, which allowed him to shatter the countless silver hooks and chains with a single palm strike, their pupils shrank drastically.

The three looked at each other, each seeing disbelief on the other's face. They never expected that such a powerful skill existed in the world.

"Pah! What's there to be afraid of? I don't believe this guy can stay airborne forever."

"Once he falls into the water, we'll swarm him and tear him apart!"

Ruan Xiaowu, the "short-lived second son," came to his senses and said bitterly.

The other two brothers in the Ruan family nodded in agreement, finding it reasonable.

They were just waiting for Chu Ke to drag Hu Sanniang into the water.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Chuk to lose his strength and fall from mid-air.

The three members of the Ruan family burst into wild laughter, weapons in hand, ready to advance.

Erlang Ruan Xiaowu took the lead like a swimming dragon.

But then, a roar as loud as thunder came from not far away.

"Who dares to hurt my brother!"

On the riverbank, Wu Song's eyes were wide open in anger, his beard and hair standing on end, resembling an enraged Vajra.

His muscles bulged, and his body surged with a powerful aura, instantly gathering a fierce internal force in his fists.

He slammed both fists into the river, striking with the force of a raging storm.

A powerful surge of air crashed straight into the water!

Ruan Xiaowu, the "Short-lived Second Brother," was the first to be targeted.

He was struck head-on by this domineering force, and his body instantly shattered, turning into countless fragments that scattered in all directions.

Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi, who were standing nearby, were also thrown by the powerful shockwave. They were forced to break out of the water and crashed heavily onto the shore, looking disheveled.

As the water ghosts panicked, Chu Ke strolled leisurely, stepping over several rocks, and gracefully landed with Hu Sanniang in his arms.

"Fuck your grandpa! Put me down if you dare!"

The angry curses continued, and Wu Song, carrying two Ruan in each hand, walked towards Chu Ke.

The classic trio.

Chuk raised an eyebrow and instantly understood the identities of the three people.

So, frustrated and disappointed, he said:

"Why are you three brothers getting involved in the affairs of bandits instead of fishing and netting in Ruanjia Village?"

"They lost their lives in vain!"

Looking at the mangled remains of "Short-lived Second Brother" in the river, Chuk sighed.

These three brothers weren't exactly bad people; they were simply persuaded to steal the birthday gifts and then joined the Liangshan bandits.

Compared to Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Liu Tang, and others who were only interested in causing trouble, the three Ruan brothers were not so bad-hearted.

"Kill me or torture me, it's up to you!"

"Grandpa frowned; that's your son!"

The two men, unaware of Chuk's thoughts, simply glared at him angrily.

After all, the hatred for killing one's brother is irreconcilable.

Chu Ke raised an eyebrow and nodded to Wu Song.

There's no point in saying more. Since the other party wants to kill me, I can't let them live.

Without hesitation, Wu Song raised his hands.

After two muffled thuds, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi were killed on the spot by Wu Song's two palm strikes before they could even scream.

His body went limp and collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

"what!"

Hu Sanniang exclaimed in surprise, "Why didn't Supervisor Chu ask them for information!"

Chuk let out a cold laugh.

What's there to ask?

With the appearance of these three brothers, Chuk already understood the situation on Dulonggang.

It is estimated that the group that robbed the birthday gifts, which is the Liangshan bandits at this time, have all arrived.

I reckon Dong Ping will surrender like he did in the original story, a spineless coward.

This also explains why those officers and soldiers died without resisting, since their commander had surrendered...

Even so, Chuk still turned and walked up the mountain.

Wu Song immediately followed.

Hu Sanniang's heart pounded as she watched the two figures disappear into the distance.

These are practically two killing gods!

She recalled how Chuk had protected her earlier and couldn't help but think that perhaps being a killing god wasn't so bad after all.

At least with their own people, they feel very safe.

Hu Sanniang came to her senses and immediately followed.

...........

Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Liu Tang...

However, the local headman, the private school teacher, and the odd-job worker were not worth mentioning.

At this moment on Liangshan, the people to watch out for are the Taoist priest Gongsun Sheng and Lin Chong, the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards.

Even Dong Ping, the double-spear general, though spineless, is eager to show off his merits now that he's joined Liangshan, so we have to be careful.

Two of the "Five Tigers of the Cavalry" of Liangshan would later be present, a lineup that stirred Chu Ke's heart.

The three did not encounter any further ambushes on their way up the mountain.

Along the way, Chu Ke noticed whistles scouting, but he was too lazy to catch them. He made it to the top of the mountain without any trouble and met the Liangshan group.

Wu Yong had initially thought there was a large force lying in ambush behind them, but he hadn't expected...

Wu Yong's expression was complicated.

He had come up with many schemes to use against the incoming troops, but all he got were Chuk and his two companions.

In the end, all that can be said after all the planning is...

"Supervisor Chu is indeed courageous; he truly deserves to be called a tiger-slaying hero."

Chao Gai stepped forward and bowed to Chu Ke and Wu Song.

He delivered the opening remarks.

"The court is currently corrupt and the people are suffering endless oppression. Why don't you two join me in a righteous uprising at Liangshan, robbing the rich to help the poor, and upholding justice on behalf of Heaven!"

When the time is right, we can then pursue a greater cause. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

With a kind and gentle expression and a sincere heart, he seemed completely unaware that the three Ruan brothers had just died at the hands of Chu Ke.

Heartless and ungrateful, how cliché!

Chuk silently shook his head in his heart.

He glanced at Dong Ping beside him and said with a smile:

"You might fool a fool with that."

"How could I, a dignified commander of a prefecture, possibly work with you bandit scum?"

Chao Gai's expression immediately changed, and Dong Ping, standing to the side, dug his nails deep into his palms.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chong, who was behind him, also stood up immediately.

If reasoning fails, then fighting is the only option.
