Chapter 186 There is always a first time in life

Xin Zhen angrily shouted, "Are you trying to forcefully take my daughter away from me? Aren't you afraid that I will report this to my master and destroy you when I return?"

Sun Jinzhang smiled and said, "This is the second thing I need your help with. We sailors are most respectful of the river god, but we have been too busy in the past two years and have not offered sacrifices to the river god. It just so happens that you are here, so please bring some gifts and visit the river god on our behalf."

Xin Zhen's face suddenly changed and he asked, "You want to kill me and fill the river with it?"

Someone laughed and said, "It seems that this silly boy is not really stupid. He can even understand the hidden meaning of our helmsman's words. Hahahaha."

The crowd burst into laughter again.

Listening to the laughter of the crowd, the anger on Xin Zhen's face gradually disappeared, turning into a gentle spring breeze. He turned around and smiled at Zhou Zhiruo, "Look, these people have done a lot of evil. Is it okay to take their money?"

Zhou Zhiruo's face had already turned red with anger. She said, "That's right, Brother Zhen, kill them and rescue the woman trapped in Yihong Courtyard!"

Everyone laughed again, and someone said, "So you are still a young heroine who intends to do good deeds. Haha, not bad, not bad."

Xin Zhen glanced at the crowd and saw that they all carried knives or water-dividing spears, but no one was using a sword. He immediately frowned and said, "These water bandits are too low-class. Not even one of them carries a sword. Hey, there's a guy with an iron bar over there. You can use it as a sword temporarily. I'll go get it for you."

Xin Zhen strode towards the sturdy man holding the iron rod. The sturdy man pushed everyone aside and said with a fierce smile: "Captain, can you kill him?"

Sun Jinzhang waved his hand and said, "Kill him."

The sturdy man immediately strode towards Xin Zhen. The two men walked towards each other, but before they met face to face, the sturdy man poked him with an iron rod. Xin Zhen slightly turned sideways, without stopping, and stretched out his hand to hold the sturdy man's hand holding the iron rod. The sturdy man was startled, clenched his left fist and used the Black Tiger Heart-Picking Move to hit Xin Zhen's heart.

Xin Zhen chuckled and exerted force with his hands. Suddenly, the sound of broken bones was heard. The sturdy man hit Xin Zhen's chest with his left hand. With a bang, the sturdy man flew backwards. His arm made a creepy sound of breaking bones and slammed into the crowd, knocking down several people.

Everyone in the Baisha Gang was shocked.

Sun Jinzhang looked at Xin Zhen in surprise, knowing that those who came today had bad intentions and those who were good would not come.

Xin Zhen threw the iron rod to Zhou Zhiruo and said with a smile, "Use it as a long sword."

Zhou Zhiruo grabbed the iron rod and nodded vigorously.

Sun Jinzhang said cautiously: "Xin Shaoxia, today's incident is just a misunderstanding, and what I said before was just a joke. We in the Baisha Gang operate with integrity and will never kill or rob people, let alone forcibly abduct women.

Young Master Xin, you and your sister should just leave today and pretend that nothing has happened. Oh, yes, I will give you a hundred taels of silver as a gift, what do you think?"

Xin Zhen laughed and said, "So you are a guy who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. If you dare to take responsibility, I will respect you. Now that you see me showing off my skills, you quickly give in. You really understand the ways of the world."

Sun Jinzhang was teased by Xin Zhen, but he showed no anger on his face, and said: "Those of us who travel around the world naturally know who we can mess with and who we can't mess with.

Young Master Xin has shown you a very clever trick. We, the wandering warriors, cannot afford to offend you. It is not shameful to surrender to you.

It was indeed a misunderstanding today. Fortunately, nothing unpleasant happened. Young Master Xin, we dare not offend you. Please let us go. We, the Baisha Gang, will apologize to you. Cheng Yi will increase the amount to 500 taels. What do you think?"

Xin Zhen chuckled: "I don't want to talk to you scum, give me your life."

Xin Zhen strode towards Sun Jinzhang. Sun Jinzhang waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go together and kill this ignorant kid. Li Ji, capture the little girl!"

The strong men had been ready for action. As soon as Sun Jinzhang gave the order, dozens of people in the room rushed towards Xin Zhen, and several of them rushed towards Zhou Zhiruo, wanting to capture Zhou Zhiruo and threaten Xin Zhen.

Xin Zhen said loudly: "Zhiruo, if you don't kill them, they will kill us."

Zhou Zhiruo responded crisply: "Brother Xin, I understand!"

A war is about to break out in the house.

Facing thirty or forty bandits armed with knives, Xin Zhen rushed forward fearlessly, and was chopped down on the head by the long knives of three or four of them.

Xin Zhen dodged and moved close to their side, gently bumping them with his shoulder. The man next to him heard a bone cracking sound between his ribs, and he immediately fell to the ground.

The reason why it didn't fly out horizontally was that all the power exploded inside this person's body. In addition to all the broken ribs, his internal organs were also all eroded.

Xin Zhen knocked one person to death, and then he slapped several people beside him with a few consecutive palms. These people fell to the ground without making a sound. They seemed to be normal on the outside, but in fact, their brains were all loose like broken tofu.

This immediately frightened the others so much that they all stepped back.

Sun Jinzhang was very anxious and shouted, "Li Ji, why haven't you caught that little girl yet?"

However, Zhou Zhiruo was able to move forward and backward freely when facing the siege of three or four people. Although she was short and the iron bar seemed a little long in her hand, she was able to wield it without any leaks.

Li Ji and the other four surrounded Zhou Zhiruo with long swords, hacking and slashing. Sometimes Zhou Zhiruo was able to dodge, and sometimes she could only block with an iron rod. Every time she was hit, her face turned red. It seemed that she could not withstand the powerful force of the swords.

Xin Zhen moved freely in the crowd, kicking, slapping, and punching. Under his punches and kicks, those strong men broke bones and screamed in pain.

Seeing Zhou Zhiruo struggling, Xin Zhen smiled and said, "The Xuanwu sword technique is good at defense, but the core is still attack. Have you forgotten this? Defense is for attack, this is the core point. Don't take defense as the main point. You must know that if you defend for too long, you will lose!"

Zhou Zhiruo was indeed very quick-witted. After hearing Xin Zhen's instructions, she saw out of the corner of her eye that a man was about to swing a knife and was about to retract it to prepare for the next knife when he revealed a flaw.

Zhou Zhiruo immediately poked the man with an iron rod, which hit his chest. He screamed and fell to the ground.

Zhou Zhiruo's face turned pale, but a cruel look appeared on her face. She stabbed another man in the neck with another needle, and the man fell to the ground, holding his neck.

The man named Li Ji, the one who had tricked Xin Zhen and the other two back with sweet words, was startled and was about to jump back.

Unexpectedly, the little girl in his eyes had fluttering clothes, a light body, and very small steps, but she walked extremely quickly and appeared in front of him in an instant.

Before he could say anything, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and saw a bloody iron rod being pulled out of his chest. The next moment, he was plunged into darkness.

The remaining man screamed in fear and turned to run outside. Zhou Zhiruo gritted her teeth and chased after him, stabbing a spike into his back and killing him.

Zhou Zhiruo killed four people in a row. Her face turned red and white. Suddenly, she vomited and rushed outside to vomit.
