"Oh? So we’ve been discovered?"

One of the unfamiliar faces looked up, his gaze fixed on Zhang Su.

"Well, no matter. We weren’t planning on sneaking in anyway..."

This man, who appeared to be of average build with an ordinary face, gently peeled off his mask, revealing a completely different, rather coarse and fierce-looking face beneath.

A deep, extremely conspicuous scar ran down the left side of his face.

At the same time, several others in the crowd also peeled off their masks and even drew their weapons.

Many Jianghu people had come, so carrying a weapon was not a big deal. This was especially true since this group had been following behind Jiang Cheng and his party earlier.

Everyone had assumed they were with the Jiang Family. Since the Jiang Family was a Martial Arts Family, it was perfectly normal for them to carry weapons.

But to everyone’s surprise, this group wasn’t with the Jiang Family at all.

"Someone actually dares to cause trouble today? And they seem to have come prepared."

"Father, let’s go help them..."

Li Wushi and Li Xiaoman were both eager to jump in.

After all, the Zhang Family was now the Boss of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. If someone was causing trouble for their Boss, they couldn’t just sit by and do nothing.

Even Li He felt the same way.

But just as he started to rise, Sun Lie’s hand clamped down on his shoulder, forcing him back into his seat.

"Senior, you..."

Li He looked at Sun Lie, his face full of confusion.

The smile had long vanished from the face of the previously calm and composed Sun Lie.

He glanced at the restless trio of Li He and his children and said in a low voice, "Don’t move if you want to live! If I’m not mistaken, they are the Blood Slaughter Thirteen Riders, who have run rampant through the Jianghu in recent years, infamous for their brutality!"

"The one with the scar on his face is their leader, the ’Blood Slaughterer,’ Qiu Qianjun!"

Sun Lie’s voice was incredibly grave.

The hands of the great "Iron Palm Sun Tuozi," those broad, heavy palms, were actually trembling slightly.

It was a clear sign of how shocked he was.

Li Wushi and Li Xiaoman had little experience in the Jianghu and had never heard of the "Blood Slaughter Thirteen Riders."

But Li He was different.

His eyes widened, and his voice was almost hoarse. "The Blood Slaughter Thirteen Riders? How did such vicious men arrive in Qingquan Prefecture so quietly?"

"It’s said that every one of them is an Inner Force master. When the thirteen of them team up, they are nearly unrivaled among Inner Force Martial Artists! What’s more, they are ruthless and cruel. Slaughtering entire villages and families is a common occurrence for them. Wherever they appear, rivers of blood tend to follow..."

Sun Lie gave Li He a meaningful look.

Li He understood instantly.

For such vicious men like the Blood Slaughter Thirteen Riders, with such obvious characteristics, to be able to enter Qingquan Prefecture undetected and specifically target the Zhang Family, there was only one possibility.

’The Wei Family!’

The Blood Slaughter Thirteen Riders were hired by the Wei Family.

Or rather, they were hired by that Inner Sect Disciple from the Guiyuan Sect, Wei Yunzhou.

This wasn’t just a conflict between the Wei and Zhang families.

It was also a struggle between two Inner Sect Disciples of the Guiyuan Sect.

If Sun Lie and Li He could figure it out, so could the other Jianghu people.

For a moment, the atmosphere grew somewhat delicate.

However, with the appearance of the Blood Slaughter Thirteen Riders, those renowned Jianghu veterans and heroes—men who had either roamed the Jianghu for decades or pursued criminals for thousands of miles—all fell utterly silent.

Most of them, just like Sun Lie, didn’t say a word.

Clearly, the Blood Slaughter Thirteen Riders’ fearsome reputation was too great. None of them dared to step forward.

They didn’t even dare to speak up in support of the Zhang Family.

In the Jianghu, seniority matters, but strength matters more!

The Blood Slaughter Thirteen Riders’ fearsome reputation was earned through bloody slaughter, without the slightest exaggeration.

"Young Hero Zhang..."

Li Xiaoman didn’t dare to move, but her face was filled with worry.

Not only was Li Xiaoman worried, but Zhang Chen and Su Zhenzhen were as well.

Even the little sister Zhang Su was protecting behind him began to tremble all over.

"Second Brother..."

The little sister couldn’t help but speak. The hand she used to grip her maid’s was now slick with cold sweat.

Zhang Su raised a hand and said calmly, "Little Sister, don’t worry. Just focus on getting married today."

After a pause, Zhang Su’s gaze fell upon the scar-faced man.

He had, of course, heard the discussions among the Jianghu people.

He knew who these men were.

"The Blood Slaughter Thirteen Riders... Qiu Qianjun, don’t the thirteen of you act as one unit, running rampant through the Jianghu? Why have only ten of you shown up today? Or do the other three enjoy hiding in the crowd like cowards?"

Zhang Su had just been confirming their numbers.

His perception was sharp, but no matter how many times he counted, there were only ten men.

Clearly, the other three were hidden very well.

Or perhaps, they weren’t here at all.

Maybe they were outside.

Or somewhere else.

Qiu Qianjun sneered, "Zhang Su, no need for taunts. My three brothers will appear when it’s time. We make our living in the Jianghu by walking a razor’s edge, taking money to solve other people’s problems. Although the rumors in the Jianghu say we enjoy wiping out entire families, that’s always at the client’s request."

"This time, the client’s request is simple: you must die! So, as long as you don’t try to be clever and run, we can’t be bothered to wipe out your entire Zhang Family!"

"But if you do run... then we’ll have to go on a killing spree today!"

The Blood Slaughter Thirteen Riders’ primary mission was to kill Zhang Su.

They were villains of the Jianghu, vicious men who would naturally stop at nothing.

As for the entire Zhang Family?

They were merely bargaining chips to threaten Zhang Su!

Zhang Su’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He usually faced everything with unshakable calm, remaining composed no matter the situation.

But now, he was no longer calm. An overwhelming killing intent surged within him!

Threatening him with his family—that was a line that should never be crossed!

"Wei Yunzhou hired you, didn’t he? Besides Wei Yunzhou, no one else in Qingquan Prefecture has the resources to pull this off..."

Zhang Su suddenly asked.

Qiu Qianjun just grinned slightly but didn’t answer.

But Zhang Su didn’t need an answer.

He slowly gripped the hilt of his sword.

"Today is my little sister’s joyous wedding day. I didn’t want to see blood, but you... all of you deserve to die!"

SHIING.

Zhang Su drew his sword in an instant, unleashing a dazzling flash of light.

Faint sounds of wind and thunder could even be heard within the sword’s light.

The tip of Zhang Su’s sword pointed directly at the "Blood Slaughterer," Qiu Qianjun!

"Heh, what nerve. You actually dare to attack first?"

"They all say that disciples from Major Sects are unrivaled in the same realm and that fighting above their level is common for them... Today, I’ll see for myself how a mere Outer Force Inner Sect Disciple like you plans to fight above your level!"

Qiu Qianjun let out a vicious laugh.

He also drew his saber in an instant.

The light from his saber transformed into a crimson torrent, which actually looked quite exquisite.

In the Jianghu, this could be considered a top-tier Saber Technique.

However, Zhang Su’s Cold Frost Sword instantly pierced into the midst of that crimson saber light.

No matter how exquisite the saber light was, in Zhang Su’s eyes, it was riddled with openings.

His sword, from the most unbelievable angle, instantly found a gap in Qiu Qianjun’s Saber Technique and thrust straight for his throat.

Qiu Qianjun’s soul nearly left his body.

He was an Inner Force master, his Cultivation higher than Zhang Su’s.

But he was still made of flesh and blood.

Inner Force couldn’t block such a sharp Treasure Sword.

He could only exert all his strength to retreat explosively!

If it had been a one-on-one fight, Qiu Qianjun would have been killed instantly by Zhang Su’s single strike to the throat.

Unfortunately, Zhang Su wasn’t fighting one-on-one.

As Qiu Qianjun retreated explosively, a companion behind him swung a saber down at Zhang Su.

If Zhang Su had insisted on pursuing Qiu Qianjun to deliver the fatal blow, he would most likely have been cut down by Qiu Qianjun’s companion.

’Trading a life for a life—it wasn’t worth it!’

Thus, Zhang Su instantly halted, sidestepped, and dodged several killing blows.

Qiu Qianjun, however, was both shocked and enraged.

He touched his throat.

It seemed Zhang Su’s sword edge had grazed his skin, drawing a trace of blood.

A shiver of fear ran down his spine just thinking about it.

A moment ago, he had truly been hovering on the edge of life and death.

He had been just a hair’s breadth from death!

’No wonder Wei Yunzhou was willing to pay such a high price to hire us. This Inner Sect Three-star Disciple from the Guiyuan Sect is a real tough nut to crack!’

Qiu Qianjun’s heart sank.

Even though Zhang Su only had an Outer Force Cultivation, that last strike made him understand that Zhang Su was no easy opponent.

’If we’re not careful, we might just fail this mission!’

Qiu Qianjun didn’t attack again. Instead, he stared intently at Zhang Su.

The moment Zhang Su revealed the slightest opening, he would strike with the force of a thunderbolt and cut him down!

The exchange between Zhang Su and the Blood Slaughter Thirteen Riders was extremely fast.

Many people felt dizzy just trying to follow the action.

But as the saying goes: laymen watch for the spectacle, while experts watch for the technique.

Sun Lie gasped, his eyes wide as he stared intently at Zhang Su’s figure, his face a mask of astonishment.

He never would have imagined that Zhang Su, all by himself, was actually suppressing the Blood Slaughter Thirteen Riders!

’So this is the strength of an Inner Sect Three-star Disciple of the Guiyuan Sect? It’s... unbelievable! I’ve really had my eyes opened today...’

Sun Lie prided himself on being a Jianghu veteran. What hadn’t he seen?

But now, his eyes had truly been opened.

It was said that disciples from Major Sects were formidable, practically unrivaled in the same realm, and that fighting above their level was a common occurrence.

But for someone with Outer Force Cultivation like Zhang Su to be chasing down and fighting ten Inner Force masters... Sun Lie hadn’t just never seen it, he’d never even heard of such a thing!

Just then, Qiu Qianjun, who had been waiting for an opportunity, seemed to have finally spotted an opening in Zhang Su’s defense.

Zhang Su was, after all, an Outer Force Martial Artist.

’No matter how much Inner Strength he has, how could it possibly surpass that of Inner Force Martial Artists like us?’

’What’s more, it’s ten of us against one of him.’

After only a dozen moves or so, Zhang Su’s Inner Strength seemed insufficient to continue suppressing the Blood Slaughter Thirteen Riders.

Seizing the opportunity, Qiu Qianjun unleashed a slash. A crimson saber light instantly blotted out the sky, the blade hurtling straight for Zhang Su!
