The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 158: Chapter 158: The Guard Arrives Chapter 158: Chapter 158: The Guard Arrives “Sister Mu Nian, let’s drop it!” Liu Daquan shook his head at the Black Widow.

He turned his gaze, observing the dozen or so family guards by his side, and then looked at the hundreds of murderous martial artists surrounding them, feeling a helplessness rise within him.

“Liu Daquan, I’ll give you time for three breaths to think it over,” the voice declared menacingly.

“Either you hand over the Liu Family properties willingly, or we’ll start by killing all your people, and then take the properties by force.”

“You choose between these two options!”

“You only have time for three breaths, now only two are left; we are not very patient!”

Sun Biao spoke with a harsh and grim tone.

In reality, while Sun Biao gave Liu Daquan two options, it seemed as if Liu Daquan could still find a way out by surrendering the properties.

However, Sun Biao had no real intention of letting Liu Daquan go.

As soon as Liu Daquan left Black Wind Town, Sun Biao’s men would immediately kill him in the wilderness.

By then, there would be no evidence linking his death to Sun Biao, and Liu Daquan wouldn’t be able to seek help or justice anywhere.

Sun Biao’s intentions were very sinister.

“Sun Biao, how are you any different from bandits?” Liu Daquan inhaled sharply and said with a bitter smile.

“Even the Sky Wolf Gang, from before, didn’t rob and kill like you are now.

Aren’t you afraid that the Duyang City Lord will find out and hold you accountable?”

He tried his best.

He also knew that no matter what he said, he couldn’t change the minds of Sun Biao and the others.

He couldn’t protect the Liu Family’s properties.

Even if he sacrificed the lives of all the Liu Family members present, it wouldn’t help.

“Ha ha ha…”

“Liu Daquan, you are truly laughable.

The Duyang City Lord will hold us accountable?

What a joke!

Liu Daquan, you with a Martial Artist from Donglin City killed the esteemed Black Wind Town Mayor, a crime most heinous and unforgivable.

As for us, we are simply administering justice by wiping you out.

If the City Lord Mansion finds out, they might even reward us!” Sun Biao laughed as he spoke.

He had clearly thought through his excuse.

Liu Huang and two others were also laughing, their eyes gleaming coldly.

Outside the Liu Family Mansion, on the streets.

“Clip-clop!

Clip-clop!

Clip-clop!”

Armored in black, with black war horses, the Guard from the Duyang City Lord Mansion gradually approached the Liu Family Mansion.

On the long street, numerous martial artists watching the scene held their breath.

These martial artists knew that Sun Biao and others, leading a large group of martial artists into the Liu Family Mansion, intended to seize the Liu properties.

And now, at this moment, the Guard from the Duyang City Lord Mansion had arrived.

It seemed that the Liu Family was inescapable doom.

“It must be the Guard from the City Lord Mansion!”

“The City Lord Mansion must have received news about the death of the Black Wind Town Mayor and its connection to Liu Daquan, so they sent the Guard to apprehend him.”

“Yes, Liu Daquan is…

somewhat pitiable!

The Mayor’s death had nothing to do with him, right?”

“Look quickly, there’s also a carriage, who knows what kind of important person is sitting inside, perhaps the new Mayor of Black Wind Town?”

Muffled discussions spread among the crowd.

Ye Chen, a captain of the Armored Guard and at the Innate Realm, rode a black war horse at the very front of the troupe.

He had now reached the gate of the Liu Family Mansion, his gaze sweeping over slightly before his eyebrows furrowed.

He had already seen, inside the Liu Family Mansion, two groups of people on edge, looking as if the new Town Mayor, Liu Daquan, had run into trouble.

“Get off the horses!” Ye Chen shouted loudly.

“Clang!”

Two hundred Armored Guards neatly dismounted their warhorses, and aside from the sound of armor clashing, no other noise could be heard.

This guard unit was clearly a well-trained elite squad.

“One team protect the carriage, the second team follow me in!” Ye Chen, swinging his arm, took the lead towards the Liu Family Mansion.

Immediately, hundreds of black-armored guards followed behind Ye Chen, quickly pouring in.

Meanwhile, the other hundred stayed behind to protect the carriage Liu Xiaoyue was riding in.

At that time, Sun Biao and others inside the Liu Family Mansion also heard the noise outside.

While they were still puzzled, they saw a team of black-armored guards swiftly entering, and their gazes instantly sharpened.

“Hello, sir, I am Sun Biao!” A smile immediately appeared on Sun Biao’s face as he quickly stepped forward and introduced himself to Ye Chen.

His face was full of smiles, but his heart was cursing furiously.

He had anticipated the arrival of the Armored Guards sooner or later, but he hadn’t expected them to come so early.

The reason he was anxious, along with the other three factions from Black Wind Town, was to divide up the Liu Family’s assets before the Armored Guards from the Duyang City Lord Mansion could arrive, turning the Liu Family’s assets into their own.

Yet, the Armored Guards had arrived earlier than he had anticipated.

Now, it would be more difficult for them to divide the Liu Family’s assets.

The arrival of the Armored Guards was clearly not just to apprehend or execute Liu Daquan on the spot; the new Town Mayor must have also arrived.

Thus, the Liu Family’s assets would fall into the hands of the new Town Mayor and would have nothing to do with him, Sun Biao, and the others.

Despite his inner curses, he still had to keep a smile on his face; he didn’t want to offend this newly arrived Town Mayor.

“I have seen the sir!” Liu Huang and the other three also approached Ye Chen with smiles and bowed in greeting.

At that time, Liu Daquan’s face was ashen.

He knew his end might have arrived.

Young Master Jing Yan had been out of contact; perhaps he had already died at the hands of the Wei Family.

Ah, what a pity, Young Master Jing Yan…

Young Master Jing Yan, you really should have listened to my advice back then, to first return to the Jing Family in Donglin City and seek help from the Fourth Elder, then think of a way to save Xiao Yue.

Liu Daquan screamed inwardly.

Now, not seeing Jing Yan appear, but witnessing the arrival of the City Lord Mansion’s Armored Guards instead, the Liu Family was undoubtedly facing a disastrous outcome.

Liu Daquan did not step forward to greet the captain of the Armored Guards.

After all, either way, it was death; what difference did it make to greet or not to greet?

“Sister Mu Nian, you better leave now.

You have no relation to my Liu Family.” Liu Daquan said to the Black Widow, worried that she might be implicated.

“Family Head Liu…” Black Widow Mu Nian didn’t know what to say at that moment.

However, she did not leave.

She believed that even if the new Town Mayor had come, he wouldn’t kill indiscriminately.

She was not a Liu Family member and also had some connections in Black Wind Town; it was unlikely that the new Town Mayor would execute her without clarification.

There shouldn’t be any big problem with not leaving the Liu Family Mansion.

“Are you Liu Family members?” Ye Chen frowned and glanced at Sun Biao and the others as he asked.

Of course, he could roughly tell that these guys were probably not Liu Family members, but rather troublemakers for the Liu Family.

He asked deliberately, also as a confirmation.

“Sir, we are not Liu Family members.

Hehe, Liu Family Patriarch Liu Daquan, in collaboration with a Martial Artist from Donglin City named Jing Yan, killed the former Town Mayor of Black Wind Town, Gao Yan, and deserves death!

We, as members of Black Wind Town, have a responsibility and duty to detain this Liu Daquan, who wanted to flee.

We detained Liu Daquan to await the Town Mayor’s arrival for trial.” Sun Biao righteously claimed, his eloquence indeed impressive.
