Chapter 476 -110: All Parties Alarmed! _2
“….”
At that moment, everyone’s heart was filled with immense excitement, and their fighting spirit suddenly surged.
They had just seen Jiang Ning’s divine prowess on the city wall; with a bow and an arrow, he made the Black Mountain Cavalry dare not show their heads.
If it weren’t for the sudden appearance of a Holy Daughter from the Black Lotus Sect,
with just a few more breaths, they believed Jiang Ning’s archery alone could have killed all the remaining Black Mountain Cavalry.
Even those Black Mountain Cavalry hiding behind cover were no exception.
Now, with such a strong warrior joining, the risk involved in this encirclement would be greatly reduced, naturally filling them with excitement.
Within less than two hours under the activation of Heavenly Eye, the Black Mountain Army and the remaining Black Mountain Cavalry roaming the outer city were all shot dead by him.
…
Completely resolving the disturbance of this New Year’s Eve, Jiang Ning then headed towards his own home.
“One man defends a city, exterminating over thirty Black Mountain Cavalry and dozens of Black Mountain soldiers, relieving Luoshui County of danger, this must be considered an extraordinary merit, right?”
On the way home, thinking of this, Jiang Ning’s heart became somewhat pleased.
Having achieved such a great feat, benefits would definitely not be few, unless someone dared to usurp his merits.
But he did not believe anyone in Luoshui County would dare or have the capacity to usurp his merits.
A moment later,
Jiang Ning arrived at the gate of his own home.
He looked down at himself; the long-distance rush in the deep night had dampened his clothes somewhat with moisture.
The next moment,
with a thought, the moisture on his clothes disappeared into thin air.
Thump thump thump—
Then he knocked on the front door.
“Who?” Jiang Li’s wary voice came from inside the house, along with light footsteps.
“Big brother, it’s me!” Jiang Ning spoke.
At the sound of his voice, the footsteps in the front yard became full and chaotic.
In no time,
the door was opened.
What met Jiang Ning’s eyes were his brother, sister-in-law, their family of four, and Lv Yi standing slightly behind.
“Little brother!”
“Ah Ning!”
“Are you alright?” Both Jiang Li and Liuu Wanwan spoke simultaneously.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning smiled, “Nothing major, just a minor issue that has been resolved.”
“Then I’m relieved!” Jiang Li immediately sighed in relief.
At this moment, Little Dumpling also crossed the doorstep, hands hugging Jiang Ning’s legs, looking up at him with big watery eyes.
“Uncle, did you go to fight the bad guys?”
Hearing this, Jiang Ning bent down to lift Little Dumpling, then pinched her little nose: “Yes, uncle just went to fight the bad guys!”
“Did uncle get hurt?”
Hearing Little Dumpling’s concern, Jiang Ning smiled.
“Uncle wouldn’t get hurt!”
“What about the bad guys?” Little Dumpling asked.
“The bad guys were all driven off by uncle!” fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
“Wow, so awesome!!!” Little Dumpling immediately looked at Jiang Ning with amazement, clapping her little hands vigorously.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Then, they all entered the front yard, and Lv Yi closed the gate behind them.
That night,
the county was sleepless.
The Black Mountain Army’s attack on the city had spread throughout all the powers in the county in less than half an hour.
All the powers also knew that tonight’s lack of major disturbance was all thanks to Jiang Ning’s efforts.
…
Canglang Martial Arts Hall.
“This boy…” Wang Jin shook his head, his face showing a look of admiration: “Incredible!”
“Yes, incredible indeed!” In front of him sat a burly man, clad in battle armor, who also wore a look of admiration on his face.
If anyone were here, they could easily identify the man sitting in front of Wang Jin.
He was indeed the Commander of the Royal Capital stationed in Luoshui County, previously the second most important figure in Luoshui County.
Afterward, Master Wang glanced at his elder brother.
“Brother, you are indeed lucky to have accepted such an outstanding disciple.”
“Indeed, quite lucky!” Wang Jin nodded.
Then he added with a bitter smile, “But such exceptional performance now means I can’t rely on him to provide for me in my old age!”
“Do you still need to worry about that issue now?” Master Wang asked.
“That’s true!” Wang Jin suddenly snapped back to his senses, and then a smile appeared on his face, “I am now full of Inner Strength, my visceral functions have been restored, and my Martial Arts have made new progress, indeed I no longer need to worry about that issue.”
…
Xie Mansion.
After receiving the message, the Family Head of the Xie family’s hand trembled instantly, and the fine wine and dishes before him suddenly lost their appeal.
“Second brother, gather the clan elders to discuss a major issue!” he ordered the stern-faced man beside him.
“Big brother, what major issue?” the stern-faced man asked, puzzled.
“The life-and-death matter of the Xie family!” the Family Head of the Xie family declared.
“What life-and-death matter could possibly involve the Xie family?” the stern-faced man still seemed baffled.
“Second brother, have you forgotten what I mentioned to you a few days ago?” the Family Head of the Xie family sighed, “Previously, the Cao, Liu, and Xie families were equally powerful in Luoshui County; now that the Cao and Liu families have been eradicated, do you think we, the Xie family, can rest easy?”
“Big brother, are you suggesting that Jiang Ning might also target our Xie family?” the stern-faced man suddenly widened his eyes.
“I don’t know, only he himself would know!” the Family Head of the Xie family shook his head, then continued, “But would you dare to bet on it? I wouldn’t! As a Clan Leader, I can’t gamble the lives of hundreds of our Xie family members on a whim from Commander Jiang! If he could attack the Cao family, he could do the same to the Liu family, then who’s to say he wouldn’t do the same to us?
“Big brother, don’t we have Little Jiu, niece?” Upon hearing this, the stern-faced man immediately cited Xie Xiaojiu.
“Little Jiu?” the Family Head shook his head again, “Second brother, with Jiang Ning’s capabilities and status, what beautiful woman couldn’t he have?
“Just relying on Little Jiu, thinking that he would turn a blind eye to our family’s past actions, isn’t that too naive?
“Think about it, what was his excuse for taking action against the Liu family?
“Although our Xie family has behaved better these past years compared to the Liu family, without committing overly outrageous offenses, the members of our family are not all virtuous; they have also done much harm in our lands. Jiang Ning had sufficient pretext with the beggar incident to take action against the Liu family, how can you guarantee that one day he won’t find a reason to move against us?”
“Our Xie family, once caught in such a situation, would meet no different an end than the Liu family.
“Would regrets be of any use at that point?”
At that moment, upon hearing his elder brother’s words, the stern-faced man then nodded heavily.
“Big brother, I understand, I will immediately gather the clan elders to discuss this major matter.”
…
Wanhua Building.
Lin Qingyi sat alone in her boudoir, drinking under the bright moon.
“Alone, it does feel somewhat lonely at this time!” she murmured to herself, sipping her wine lightly.
Then she picked up the report just presented by a servant.
“This little brother Jiang Ning, is really quite bold! His archery is so transcendent, if he joined the army, earning military honors would be as easy as flipping his hand!”
“But the path he is on now is also not bad!”
“A newly established institution always presents bigger opportunities!”
“Moreover, the Inspection Office reports directly to the Martial Saint Mansion, which could help him even more on his path in Martial Arts.”
“Shen Congyun’s foresight was indeed accurate; he was able to recognize Jiang Ning’s potential early on.”
“…”
Sipping wine alone under the moon, Lin Qingyi dressed in a blue gauze gown muttered to herself.
…
That night, as the news of Jiang Ning single-handedly subduing the Black Mountain Army spread among various powers.
They were all immensely shocked.
No one would have expected that Jiang Ning, who was previously driven to desperation by the Cao family and joined Canglang Martial Arts Hall only for protection,
now possessed such terrifying strength.
One man defending a city.
A single bow easily nullifying the assault of more than thirty Black Mountain Cavalry, resolving the crisis in Luoshui County effortlessly.
They all understood very well, if not for Jiang Ning holding the fort in Luoshui County, if not for his godlike archery skills.
The consequences could have been horrifying if the thirty-four Black Mountain Cavalry that breeched the outer city area had penetrated the Inner City gate; thirty-four Eighth Grade Martial Artists, armored and armed, mounted on warhorses, battle-hardened soldiers risen from piles of corpses, would have turned into relentless killing machines upon entering the Inner City.
Even the top warriors in the county, the Seventh Grade Martial Artists, would have been instantly slayed upon encounter.
Such a calamity of army invasion, no matter which power it concerned, was a disaster.
