The seventy gang members of the Xi Hall, although in formation, all had somewhat pale faces.

Chu Xisheng, on the other hand, was unconcerned, standing above the gate, looking down at the formidable cavalry.

He was instructing Lu Pingyuan, “The battle in the main courtyard should be resolved quickly.

Later, you will lead a team to search throughout the Wen Family Castle for all valuables.

I give you 15 minutes, and there must be no omissions.”

Lu Pingyuan’s expression was dazed, as if he were dreaming.

He couldn’t understand at all, how his own side had won, and so decisively at that!

On paper, the Wen Family Castle was much stronger, several times over!

—That included four Sixth Grade fighters and more than thirty at Seventh Rank!

How had they been annihilated by the West Mountain Hall in just mere 15 minutes?

Was their own West Mountain Hall that powerful?

He utterly didn’t understand how those experts in the castle had vanished.

However, Lu Pingyuan quickly gathered his thoughts.

A strong employer was undoubtedly a good thing, as it meant that he could hold his job for the long run.

However, he also needed to demonstrate even greater loyalty and work harder.

Lu Pingyuan bowed deeply, “Hall Master, rest assured!

The Wen Family’s silver vault is located underground in the eastern side courtyard.

That person arrogantly thought the Wen Family Castle was impregnable, so it wasn’t concealed.

He also disliked depositing his gold and silver in banks.

I estimate there’s no less than 250,000 taels in gold and silver.”

Chu Xisheng nodded slightly, and his expression relaxed somewhat.

He had incurred a debt of exactly 340,000 Demon Silver for today’s battle.

Moreover, he had to levy an additional 500,000 dan of spring taxes and 310,000 taels as a poll tax, putting him under great pressure.

He should be able to break even.

The local tyrants and landowners of this world all disliked depositing their gold and silver in banks.

It was known that in ancient times, depositing silver in a bank wouldn’t earn any interest, but rather, a management fee would be deducted.

A silver note of one hundred taels’ worth could generally only be exchanged for ninety-nine taels of silver in a bank.

If the note was a bit old, it was normal to deduct a tenth of its value.

Therefore, these local tyrants, as long as they had a bit of strength, would never deposit their gold and silver in banks.

They had the strength to safeguard it themselves; why should they let the banks make deductions?

Chu Xisheng knew that the Wen family also operated a small bank in town.

However, Wen Tiance did not conduct his business strictly by the rules, and few people deposited money with his family.

“And their granary is of utmost importance, it must be secured!”

During spring, buying grain with silver was not cost-effective.

After giving these instructions, Chu Xisheng leaped down from the gate of the dock.

While they were talking, those three hundred cavalry had already charged to within ten yards of the formation protected by the Xi Hall.

Chu Xisheng fell from the sky, then drew his long sword, and immediately, a clank of metal resounded through the air.

That fearsome, dragon-headed beast appeared once more above Chu Xisheng’s head, emitting a terrifying roar.

The Sword Intent materialized, sweeping through the area within a thirty-yard radius.

The three hundred cavalry bore the brunt of it, not only twisting their faces in anguish but also showing signs of severe pain.

The horses beneath them couldn’t bear it either; they either stumbled forward and fell or halted abruptly, crying out.

The unsuspecting knights, under the combined force of momentum and inertia, were thrown from their horses.

All three hundred cavalry were in disarray, with men and horses toppled over.

In front of the dock’s gate, it instantly became a scene of chaos, with humans and horses screaming in agony.

Of these knights, more than twenty were killed outright from the impact.

Liu Ruoxi, following behind, showed a flicker of fascination in her eyes.

This was the Vengeful Blade Intent, capable of overpowering thousands with a single strike!

The Hall Master said she also had the talent to cultivate the Vengeful Blade, and she could try to study it earnestly.

She might not be able to develop the Vengeful Blade Intent to its pinnacle, but she could raise it to about the Twelve Layers.

The Twelve Layers of the Vengeful Blade Intent were already enough to fight against thousands!

This Sword Intent could not only use the enemy’s malice and intent to kill to enhance the strength of the Sword Intent but also reflect the opponent’s Divine Power back on them.

That was the truly fearsome aspect.

The enemy experienced an impact of Thought equivalent to their own Divine Power combined with the Sword Intent Impact from Chu Xisheng.

In the next moment, Liu Ruoxi reined in her thoughts and drew her Twin Blades.

“Kill!”

She charged forward, leading her seventy gang members into the fray.

Not far away, a Seventh Rank Colonel, still enduring the suppression of Chu Xisheng’s Sword Intent, struggled to pull his left foot from beneath a fallen horse.

But just as he was about to stand, Liu Ruoxi had already reached him.

With a sharp sound, the Seventh Rank Colonel, unable to react, had his head split open by a stroke from Liu Ruoxi.

Meanwhile, the Cavalry Commander of the West Mountain County Army had reached Chu Xisheng.

His eyes were bloodshot, furious at the heavy casualties suffered by his troops.

He knew that for his three hundred brothers to escape safely from this place, they needed to break Chu Xisheng’s Sword Intent Suppression!

But as he neared Chu Xisheng, he saw a look of disdain in the young man’s eyes.

Chu Xisheng’s hands moved simultaneously, swords flashing to either side.

Extreme Move: Trace of Wind!

He couldn’t synchronize his hands like Qin Muge with the Hand of Sun and Moon, but his Hand of Wind and Electricity Control granted both his hands extremely high flexibility and speed.

His persistent training in his dreams had given him an exceptionally strong control over both hands.

And the talents of Pure Yang, Divine Sorrow, and Burial Sky provided him strength comparable to a Seventh Rank Martial Cultivator.
