The entire street was in chaos, filled with screams and cries.
Countless residents died tragically, blood splattering everywhere, and severed limbs flying in all directions.
No one knew how many fierce bandits had arrived, but it felt as if shadows filled the surroundings from all directions.
Officer after officer was brutally killed.
The three death-row prisoners trapped in the prison cart struggled madly, laughing uproariously, their laughter reverberating through the air.
It seemed the more chaotic the situation, the more excited they became.
"Hahaha... kill, kill, kill quickly..."
The Third Master on the leading prison cart kept laughing wildly, shaking the chains noisily.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Soon, a large group of fierce bandits came killing nearby, leaping into the air, and ruthlessly hacking towards the prison cart with their single blades.
Clang! Clang!
Sparks flew, but the entire prison cart didn't budge an inch.
Not even a crack was left behind.
"Eldest Master, we can't cut through it!"
A bandit shouted back.
Soon more bandits rushed towards the prison cart.
Among the crowd, Ren Yuan, with a sinister smile, wielded the huge Wolf Fang Club. Covered in blood, he swung it madly, devastating other officers.
He seemed unstoppable, like a tank.
No one could survive a hit from him.
The three martial arts hall masters watching from the restaurant paled, promptly fleeing at the first opportunity.
Suddenly!
Amid his rampage, Ren Yuan noticed Jiang Shi.
He saw Jiang Shi wielding a Great Axe, cutting down several bandits with ease. Smirking viciously, he stomped heavily as he quickly pursued, holding the large Wolf Fang Club.
Jiang Shi had just slain two obstructing bandits and found wielding the Great Axe uncomfortable and difficult to exert his full power.
As more bandits charged, he scanned his surroundings, his gaze falling upon a large tree nearby. He rushed out, discarding the Great Axe, and embraced the tree, roaring loudly as he yanked it up ferociously.
Rumble!
The tree, as thick as a child's waist, was uprooted entirely, scaring off the four or five bandits pursuing him, who quickly evaded.
"Hah!"
Jiang Shi swung fiercely, sweeping like a gale through fallen leaves, his terrifying strength unfathomable. As the bandits cried out in awe, his swing struck their bodies brutally.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each bandit was like a paper scrap in the wind, spurting blood as they flew back consecutively.
The power of Jiang Shi's strike was simply unimaginable.
Yet, he dared not linger, swiftly carrying the large tree towards the outer perimeter.
"Block me and die!"
He roared, indiscriminately sweeping the large tree forward again.
Boom!
Another three or four bandits were brutally blown away by him.
Ren Yuan, pursuing rapidly from behind, grew angrier, eyes reddening, yelling in rage as he swung the large Wolf Fang Club ferociously towards Jiang Shi.
"Boy, die!"
Jiang Shi was hastily fleeing with the massive tree trunk. Hearing the commotion, he was incensed, swinging the tree trunk fiercely back at Ren Yuan.
Boom!
The sound thundered, deafening.
The sheer force of their clash was astonishing, the air rolling into waves of vicious gusts.
Ren Yuan was shocked, retreating in wild fright. Each step planted deep footprints into the ground, retreating over ten meters.
Half of his body instantly lost sensation.
It was clear even by eye that his hands were a bloody mess, almost unbearable to see.
"Boy, you...!"
Ren Yuan was both startled and horrified, simply incredulous.
Was this guy a monster?
No internal power was used at all.
By pure physical strength alone, the power was that immense.
After one strike, Jiang Shi was also shaken, retreating several steps before stabilizing, the front of the thick tree trunk indented by the Wolf Fang Club and its branches shattered.
However, he dared not stay any longer, grabbing the tree trunk and turning to sweep it fiercely into the crowd ahead.
Crash!
A large number of bandits were swept away again.
Ren Yuan's eyes nearly popped out, yelling angrily, carrying the large Wolf Fang Club, he charged at Jiang Shi once more.
"Boy, don't leave!"
Hearing the commotion, Jiang Shi grew furious, embracing the large tree trunk, and swept fiercely at Ren Yuan again.
The terrifying power erupted, stirring up the air, emitting a terrifying rumbling sound, as debris flew everywhere.
Ren Yuan was taken aback, hurriedly swinging the Wolf Fang Club with all his might towards Jiang Shi.
Boom!
On the second sweep, Ren Yuan let out a painful groan, both tiger mouths bleeding profusely, his palms nearly shattered, the Wolf Fang Club flying from his grip, his body rapidly retreating in shock.
But before he could react, Jiang Shi immediately struck again with all his might.
The massive tree trunk cast a shadow, crashing down towards Ren Yuan's body.
Ren Yuan was terrifically scared, letting out a shout, instinctively raising his hands to block.
It was to no avail.
With a crack, he was struck on the spot, his over two-meter-tall form compressed like being crushed by a hydraulic press, reduced to a pulp.
Even the ground was indented by the force of his body.
Dead beyond dead.
"The Sixth Master is dead!"
"Someone killed the Sixth Master!"
The other bandits shouted in terror.
"Boy, who are you, dare to leave your name!"
A bandit shouted.
Jiang Shi smashed continuously, thoroughly enjoying himself, feeling a comfort beyond words, like having a sauna in a past life brimmed with heroism, almost bursting out in a long laugh.
Ignoring the bandits' cries, he swung the large tree trunk again, scattering another group of bandits, and dragged the massive trunk, swiftly charging into the distance.
"Hero, don't go, save this official!"
A frantic shout rang out.
Jiang Shi turned to look.
He saw a man wearing a black Gauze Cap and red official robes, surrounded by a group of constables, screaming in panic.
But Jiang Shi didn't bother, continuing to swing the large tree trunk fiercely ahead, finally breaking through while leaving a trail of smoke and dust, fleeing towards the distance.
There was still chaos behind him, echoing with roars of killing.
Blood splattered everywhere, severed limbs flying wildly.
But none of that concerned Jiang Shi anymore.
...
After running for half an hour, Jiang Shi finally stopped at a desolate spot outside the city, exhausted, panting heavily, gasping like a broken old bellows.
Having fought his way out, he was completely drained.
Almost to the point of collapse.
Fortunately, he successfully broke through, no bandits pursued him.
"Chaos, this world is too chaotic, this was just one outing, and I went through so much. Luckily, no bandit leaders noticed me, otherwise, it'd be a dead end."
Jiang Shi gasped as he spoke.
Comparatively, Zhenwu Temple is indeed safer.
He had made up his mind!
This time upon returning, he must stay low thoroughly.
Wait until his strength exceeds ten thousand pounds before considering going out again, otherwise, it's truly unsafe.
After a brief rest, Jiang Shi dragged the massive log and continued to run further ahead.
Suddenly!
He felt waves of numbness spreading through his body, almost moaning in pleasure, immediately opening the panel to check.
He saw the Reputation Value section jump from 20 to 220.
A 200 point increase.
"So much increased at once? Ah, I showed tremendous power, killed Ren Yuan, and scattered so many bandits, it was hard not to attract attention, hence the reputation value spiked."
Jiang Shi's eyes glowed.
