Chapter 20 Chaos
"Brother, I'll give you money, please don't kill me!"
"Hero, I have plenty of food, please spare my life."
"This is my home, don't burn it down!"
"Father, save me!"
After the gunshot, a group of thugs dressed in red suddenly emerged from Yongkang County.
These red-clad thugs stormed into the homes of wealthy families in the main urban area, burning, killing, and looting, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.
Police officers patrolling the city noticed the situation and immediately blew their whistles as a warning.
The police station immediately dispatched officers to suppress the rioters, but the group of red-clad rioters also had firearms and engaged in a gunfight with the police station in the city, which was extremely intense.
Among the red-clad thugs, the middle-aged man wearing a red robe and whose face was covered with special red runes stood out the most.
This person was at the very front, the fastest, and the most ruthless; he didn't look like a simple character.
Yang Changhui, the chief inspector of the inspection office, held a rifle, aimed, and fired. Just as the bullet struck the middle-aged man in the red robe, the bullet struck him.
A strange red membrane suddenly appeared on the middle-aged man in the red robe.
The bullet landed on it, but it failed to break through the red membrane and bounced away instead.
This scene left many people speechless.
"A martial arts master, the Divine Talisman Society actually arranged for such a martial arts expert to come."
Yang Changhui frowned upon seeing this.
This person did not appear when he dealt with the Divine Symbol Society, otherwise the situation would have been even worse.
This isn't good news for him either.
"Everyone, fire at the man in the red robe to suppress him."
"Fight and retreat simultaneously; do not linger in battle."
Upon seeing this, Yang Changhui decisively issued a new order.
He was well aware of the threat level posed by martial arts masters, which far exceeded that of ordinary thugs armed with guns.
If this martial arts master were to close the distance, they would be quickly annihilated.
Upon hearing this, the police officer next to Yang Changhui immediately switched the gun and fired at the man in the red robe to suppress him.
Upon seeing the volley of rifle bullets coming at him, Weng Jingyuan no longer arrogantly tried to take the hit head-on, but instead chose to dodge to the side.
The red membrane on his body has a certain defensive limit. If it is a pistol, it would take three consecutive shots to hit one spot to break the red membrane.
For rifle-type rifles, two bullets need to hit the same spot to break the red membrane.
With so many police officers firing in unison from the front, there is a certain chance that two bullets will hit the same spot.
Therefore, Weng Jingyuan chose to temporarily avoid confrontation.
"Character followers, charge forward bravely! Those who survive will be promoted to Character Officer!"
Weng Jingyuan made a promise to the excited believers.
Upon hearing this, the followers of the Divine Symbol Society charged forward fearlessly.
"The gunners' firepower is overwhelming; leave no one alive."
Weng Jingyuan also arranged for gunmen to fire, aiming to kill as many police officers as possible.
In Weng Jingyuan's view, the greatest threat in Yongkang County came from the armed police officers at the police station.
After the killing, the people in the city were like lambs to the slaughter, powerless to resist.
The Divine Symbol Society is advancing at an increasingly rapid pace.
The wealthy residents in the surrounding buildings looked on in despair upon seeing this scene.
These people from the charismatic society are utterly inhuman.
Wherever they went, they burned, killed, and looted.
They were even more ruthless towards the wealthy, showing no mercy when killing people.
......
The Yang family.
West Wing
"Young Master Yang, you really are here."
"You'd better stay still, or my brother and I can't guarantee that something won't be missing from your body."
Two burly men dressed as guards of the Yang family, their bodies stained with blood, rushed into Yang Jian's west wing.
One of them brandished a bloodstained longsword at Yang Jian, threatening him.
"A new bodyguard that Fifth Uncle recruited?"
Yang Jian's expression turned cold upon seeing the two unfamiliar faces.
"Young Master Yang, does it even matter whether it is or isn't?"
Another burly man, holding a blood-stained spear, strode closer and said nonchalantly.
It was as if Yang Jian was already in his grasp, and everything was under his control.
Yang Jian, upon hearing this, already knew the answer.
The city has become increasingly chaotic these past two days. For the safety of the Yang family, his fifth uncle recruited new guards to protect the family.
Little did they expect that this move would turn out to be like inviting a wolf into the house.
"Nianxin, come inside."
Yang Jian glanced at Shen Nianxin, then fixed his gaze on the two burly men who entered.
To become a guard of the Yang family, one must be a practitioner of martial arts. As for how strong one is, only by fighting with them can one know.
Shen Nianxin is just an ordinary person. Being by his side will not only not help him, but will also become a burden to him.
"Second Young Master, you really know what's good for you, actually letting this beauty into the room to serve you."
"But I prefer to do things in broad daylight, and I want to do them right in front of you, so you can watch."
"Little beauty, don't run away, or I'll kill Yang Jian."
"Hahaha!"
The burly man holding the long spear spoke, a smug smile on his face.
He had been bullied by the scions of aristocratic families, and therefore hated them the most. If it weren't for Weng Lingfu Guan's promise to spare Yang Jian and the others' lives, he would have tortured and killed Yang Jian directly!
Although he couldn't kill Yang Jian, he could still have some fun and disgust Yang Jian.
"Nine steps, eight steps, seven steps."
"Lone Star!"
The moment Yang Jian silently counted to seven steps away, he sprinted forward.
The silver spear in his hand transformed into a shooting star, plummeting rapidly forward.
The spear tip, sharp as a glint of cold light, pierced the sky and then plunged into the heart.
"puff!"
"How could you...?"
The burly man's arrogant smile hadn't even faded when he was suddenly struck by a chilling blow.
Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground with a blank expression.
Motionless, completely lifeless.
"So weak!"
Yang Jian was quite surprised.
He thought the arrogant words were from a formidable opponent and was therefore on high alert.
I just didn't expect this person to be so weak, he couldn't even withstand a single move from me.
"Aren't you a spoiled brat?"
The burly man wielding the long knife stared wide-eyed at the sight.
After realizing what was happening, he decisively turned around and ran towards the door.
"puff!"
Yang Jian's silver spear transformed once again into a streak of sharp starlight, taking the life of the burly man wielding the knife.
The two men who barged in arrived quickly and died just as quickly.
He fell to the ground in resentment, silently accusing the believer who called Yang Jian a spoiled brat.
"Nianxin, hide in the secret room. Don't come out until I return."
"There's a bit of a commotion at the manor; I'll go out and see what's going on."
Yang Jian entered the room and skillfully opened the secret room hidden next to the bookshelf, letting Shen Nianxin hide inside.
When the Yang family mansion was built, the family's current situation was taken into consideration.
In such a critical moment, hiding in a secret room might allow one to escape unscathed.
"Second Master, it's dangerous outside. Let's hide here together!"
Shen Nianxin held Yang Jian's hand and said with a worried expression.
"Given the current situation within the manor, someone from the Yang family must step forward."
"As a direct descendant of the Yang family, I enjoy the family's resources. If I don't stand up in this critical moment, who will?"
Yang Jian placed his hand on Shen Nianxin's shoulder, his face serious and his gaze deep.
