Legend of Swordsman

“Enough!” Jian Wushuang shouted angrily.

He stopped Xiang Yang from venting his anger.

It was almost enough; there was no need to keep flogging the corpse.

Releasing the resentment was sufficient.

Otherwise, excessive anger would harm the body and be detrimental to future cultivation.

One had to learn to remain calm.

“No, there’s still one more!” Xiang Yang said, raising his blade and walking towards Master Liu.

“You old bastard, you enjoyed stripping me naked back then, didn’t you?”

In fact, Master Liu never said much to them.

It was always Yang Madman who tortured Xiang Yang and Jian Wushuang.

That was because Xiang Yang had initially gotten close to Liu Susu.

Killing Master Liu depended on the situation.

If it were in the wilderness with no one around, killing him would be inconsequential.

But now, killing Master Liu in front of Liu Susu and Hu San seemed unnecessary.

It would be better to appease these people and make use of them.

Then they could divide the treasures and escape.

Otherwise, with so much gold, silver, and jewels, he and Xiang Yang wouldn’t be able to take it all.

Although the path of cultivation didn’t require these things, to embark on it, one needed to first accumulate wealth.

Two stinky beggars weren’t even qualified to ask for directions.

But Xiang Yang didn’t care about any of this at the moment and was about to chop Master Liu with his blade.

Liu Susu, being kind-hearted, certainly didn’t want her foster father to be killed by her beloved, so she rushed over to seize the blade.

“Get lost!”

At this moment, Xiang Yang was particularly scummy. He pushed Liu Susu away, just like Liu San Gongzi.

Hu San couldn’t stand this and immediately kicked Xiang Yang over.

The knife in Xiang Yang’s hand fell at that moment.

Master Liu, with quick hands and sharp eyes, immediately reached for the knife to counterattack.

But Jian Wushuang wasn’t just standing around. He drew his sword, and the tip pierced Master Liu’s wrist.

“Old man, you better behave!”

He didn’t harbor much hatred towards Master Liu and didn’t go for the kill, thinking the old man might be useful later.

However, Hu San thought Jian Wushuang intended to kill them all and angrily shouted, “Jian Wushuang, you promised me…”

“Don’t worry, I won’t break my word,” he replied indifferently.

It was just a woman.

He wasn’t as shameless as Xiang Yang, and wouldn’t kill the donkey after it had done its work.

But at that moment, Xiang Yang angrily got up.

He picked up the knife and slashed at Master Liu.

Hu San was distracted and couldn’t stop him in time.

But Liu Susu stepped in to block it.

The blade directly struck Liu Susu’s neck.

Blood spurted instantly.

Hot blood poured out, splashing onto Xiang Yang’s face.

Hu San’s pupils suddenly contracted.

“Xiang Yang!!!!!!”

He almost roared.

Lifting the wooden stick, he charged straight at Xiang Yang without any hesitation.

If this blow landed, Xiang Yang would be done for.

Jian Wushuang had no choice but to intervene. Before the stick could strike Xiang Yang’s head,

he slashed off Hu San’s arm with his sword.

The stick, along with the severed arm, fell to the ground.

Hu San howled in despair.

Liu Susu died with her eyes open.

Master Liu sat paralyzed on the ground, holding the deceased Liu Susu. Though he had always been an opportunist with a heart of stone, at this moment, tears flowed from his eyes.

Xiang Yang, however, acted as if nothing had happened. He nodded at Jian Wushuang and said, “Nice swordsmanship!”

With that, he was ready to strike again.

Jian Wushuang couldn’t stand it anymore.

“That’s enough!”

Because the porters were starting to stir.

He feared that if Xiang Yang continued killing, it would incite a riot among the porters. Someone muttered that if Liu San Gongzi died here, they would all be doomed.

Now, all eyes were on him and Xiang Yang.

It wasn’t for anything else.

It was simply to save their own lives, and they wanted to hand the two of them over to the

authorities.

These people had been weak since childhood, otherwise, they wouldn’t have endured being bullied by Yang Madman without daring to resist.

At this moment, their hostility towards them was entirely driven by the desire to survive.

It was indeed a sad situation!

Jian Wushuang casually wiped the blood off his sword.

In reality, these porters no longer posed a threat to the two of them.

With a sword in hand, killing these people was no difficult task.

But there was no need to do so.

“Listen up, everyone. I offer you a path to wealth. On that warship, there are treasures you can enjoy for a lifetime. You can take the money and start a new life on the other side of the sea!” Jian Wushuang hit the key point. With his analysis, all the porters were tempted. “You are all unfortunate people, with no parents, working here for meager wages. Why not

just leave!”

Changing their situation was the greatest form of resistance.

These people needed someone to guide them.

With just a few words, Jian Wushuang convinced them.

The key was that Jian Wushuang wasn’t lying to them.

He asked Xiang Yang to watch over the paralyzed Master Liu and the severely injured Hu San.

Then, he led the porters to divide the gold and silver treasures.

Jian Wushuang didn’t take much, just a small boat, a hundred taels of gold, and some valuable

jade.

The rest was distributed among the porters.

With no one guarding, and with the gold and silver in hand, the porters became more active.

They moved all the usable goods from the dock onto the ships quickly.

They cleaned out the warehouse, for this was their profession after all.

With these supplies, they wouldn’t starve for two years at sea.

And having worked at the docks for years, they naturally knew how to sail.

Speaking of sailing.

All the crew members on the ships were killed.

These people posed no threat.

They posed no threat to Jian Wushuang, so they wouldn’t die.

But the porters had become ruthless.

They killed all the crew members.

They prepared seven or eight merchant ships and one warship.

About a hundred people set sail just like that.

Watching the ships leave the dock, Jian Wushuang didn’t feel happy for these people.

Instead, he felt sorrow for those who would soon be oppressed by them.

The sky gradually darkened.

Inside the bamboo building.

Jian Wushuang bandaged Hu San’s wounds.

As for Master Liu, he was tied upstairs by Xiang Yang, along with the ugly woman.

“Jian Wushuang, look at this!”

Xiang Yang ran into the house with a cheerful expression, holding two robes.

These were the clothes they wore when they arrived.

Jian Wushuang didn’t even lift his eyelids, and said calmly, “What’s the use of these things!”

“Tsk tsk, although we are down and out, this outfit represents our past and future. We can’t

let these people ruin it!”

With that, he threw Jian Wushuang’s clothes over.

“Guess whose room these clothes were in?”

“Hu San’s!”

“How did you know?” Xiang Yang was surprised!

Jian Wushuang shrugged and said calmly, “I guessed.”

In fact, he had seen it.

Hu San had told him before that he would return the clothes when they left.

Hu San was honest and thick-skinned but actually meticulous.

He thought Jian Wushuang and Xiang Yang’s identities were not simple.

He didn’t want them to stay at the dock.

To avoid bringing trouble to Master Liu.

He intended to find an opportunity to let them go.

But unexpectedly, the trouble didn’t come from outside, but from within.

“Xiang Yang, pack up. Let’s leave tonight!”

“Alright!” Xiang Yang nodded heavily.

After venting during the day, Xiang Yang had regained some sanity.

He also had ambitions now.

But this ambition might bring great changes to this world.

Perhaps in the future, this world would see the rise of a demon.

Bringing endless destruction.

Watching Xiang Yang’s back.

Jian Wushuang turned to look at the lying Hu San and said sincerely, “Hu San, I’m sorry this

time!”
