797: Chapter 757 Bandits Enter the Town_1 797: Chapter 757 Bandits Enter the Town_1 At the entrance of the inn, Lu Chuan leaned against a withered tree, waiting for the so-called Black Clouds Camp to arrive.

Dongfang Cheng stood beside him, also waiting quietly.

Lu Chuan turned his head, looked at Gu Xiaorou, and said, “Otherwise, you two go inside and wait for a bit.”

“No need, we’ll just stand here and keep you company,”

Gu Xiaorou said, waving her hand.

“Be careful when the fight starts.”

Dongfang Cheng reminded Gu Xiaorou with concern.

“A mere band of bandits, what strength could they have?

Both of them are at least at the Martial King Realm, not just any little minion can handle them,”

Lu Chuan was very confident in Gu Xiaorou’s and Gu Xiaosang’s abilities.

The strength of the Martial King Realm was not ordinary, and most martial artists would find it hard to be their match.

Moreover, the weapons they both carried were far from simple.

If a real fight broke out, they would surely hold their own.

Lu Chuan looked out into the street; along the road, one could hardly see a single soul, all the doors were tightly shut, and even the lights were all extinguished.

The entire town had fallen into darkness and silence.

It seemed that they were deeply oppressed by the bandits of Black Clouds Camp, living their lives cautiously, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

Under such circumstances, life truly was difficult and miserable.

“Who is supposed to deal with these bandits?”

Lu Chuan asked.

“It depends on which city this town falls under.

Tucao Town is not really a famous place, it should…

be under Forest City’s jurisdiction.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “So it’s the City Lord of Forest City, right?”

“That’s not incorrect to say, indeed, it should be the Forest City Lord who deals with the bandits here.”

Lu Chuan scoffed, “It seems we can’t count on them.”

“The official power of Forest City has probably long turned a blind eye to the situation here.”

Dongfang Cheng nodded helplessly, “That’s possible; after all, it’s hard for people to care about such a remote town.”

…

In the dark town, a few lights flared up.

From a distance, a group of horsemen carrying torches moved along the town’s central and broadest street, swaggering forward.

The leader was a man wearing a coat made of black bear fur.

With a full beard and a round face, his eyes darted around as he gazed at his surroundings.

The subordinates around him leaned in with fawning smiles, “Boss, the Common Fortune Inn is not far ahead.

They said they’ve prepared plenty of money; we’re set for a big haul this time.”

“That’s good, make sure they’ve got the money ready.

And if anyone dares not pay up, kill them all!”

The boss said disdainfully.

“Zhao Heihu, brother, after we hit this score, are we not going to collect from other places?”

Another horseman rode up to the side and called out to the boss.

“Second brother, don’t be anxious.

Let’s collect this round of money first, and then we can loot other places,”

“This town isn’t big, there are only so many places with money.

We’ll clean it out quickly, tonight is destined to be a bountiful night.”

“With those words from you, big brother, I’m relieved.

Tonight the brothers will work hard.

Once we make money, I’ll take you to eat well and drink well!”

The Second Master shouted excitedly.

“Boss, we’re making such a big fuss, what if we attract attention from Forest City?”

Zhao Heihu turned back to scold the junior who spoke up, “Look at yourself, so cowardly!”

“When I went to Forest City that time, what was it for, you guys have no clue, do you?”

“Tonight, let yourself go and fight with all you’ve got, no one’s going to make trouble for us!”

“Listen up, everyone, today we’ll loot this pathetic town clean, all the rich spots, everything goes into our pockets.

If you miss even one, I won’t spare you!”

He shouted loudly at the more than forty underlings behind him.

Then, the gang raised their cleavers and shouted in high spirits.

“Yes, boss!”

A chorus of shouting made all the nearby residents so scared that they shut their windows tight, with many hiding under their covers, afraid to show their faces.

The bandits moved on, and Second Master looked at Zhao Heihu and asked, “Brother, what about those people we captured after all this is over?”

“What else can we do?

You really want to return them?

They’ve all been sent to Forest City, there’s nothing to return.

Just take the money and leave.

If they refuse to let things go, just kill them.

Why so many questions?”

Second Master nodded repeatedly, “Big brother, I get it.

Tonight is our wild celebration, with no consequences to consider!”

“You finally said something right.

Yes, tonight is our wild celebration, and this shabby town is our playground!”

Zhao Heihu let out a satisfied and arrogant laugh, his laughter filled with bluster.

The Black Clouds Camp’s troupe approached the Common Fortune Inn.

From a distance, they spotted a carriage parked by the roadside.

That carriage was lavishly decorated with redwood and exquisite silk, obviously the possession of a wealthy family’s young master.

As they got closer, Zhao Heihu’s brows knitted tightly.

“Does anyone in this broken town afford to ride in such a carriage?

Looks like they’re from out of town.”

“Boss, this is an unexpected windfall!

Robbing this carriage will make us a fortune.

Not to mention what’s hidden inside, just the carriage itself is worth a lot!”

Second Master shouted excitedly.

“Do you think I need you to tell me that?

I have eyes, I can see.

When fat meat is delivered to your door, it would be absurd not to eat it!”

“Men, charge!”

Zhao Heihu flicked the reins and rode quickly to the front of the carriage.

Right then, Lu Chuan’s figure emerged, standing in the middle of the road, facing Zhao Heihu.

“Stop right there.

You’re from Black Clouds Camp, aren’t you?”

Zhao Heihu pulled the reins, bringing his steed to a halt.

He looked at Lu Chuan, sizing him up, and asked, “Who are you?

What do you want to do?”

“I’m here to take your life.”

Lu Chuan said outright.

Hearing this, Zhao Heihu’s face darkened with anger, insulted by the blunt accusation, feeling his dignity being trampled upon.

“You cur, no one dares talk to me like that around here.

You must have a death wish!”

“Today, if I don’t skin you alive, I’ll be showing too much mercy!”

He dismounted, pulling out a cleaver from the saddle, and walked towards Lu Chuan.

“Just one man, and you dare to defy us?

You must be tired of living.”

Lu Chuan stood calmly, looking at Zhao Heihu, and asked, “Are all of you coming at once, or one by one?”

That comment caught Zhao Heihu off guard.

“Haha, look at the size of your ego, thinking we’d all attack together?

You must be here to seek death on purpose!”

“Big brother, why waste time with someone looking to die?

Let’s just get on with it!”

“No rush, I’ll take him one on one.

I’ll torment him slowly first, crush his spirit.”

“This guy must be a hired hand from the town.

Today I’ll show everyone in Tucao Town what happens when they mess with me!”
