Is This the Jianghu?
The moment Yue Ling saw the group of men in black, she was already prepared to die there.
But to Yue Ling's utter surprise, Chu Xinghe beside her said something like, "They might not necessarily be enemies?"
Yue Ling was furious... This imitator of Chu Xinghe not only didn't resemble Chu Xinghe at all, he didn't even have basic eyesight!
Are you blind? They've already blocked our path, how can they not be the enemy?
Before Yue Ling could even speak, a blade of light pierced through the air.
Seeing the flying blade, Yue Ling thought, "Now you see clearly... They've attacked us, how can they not be enemies?"
This is clearly a group that's come to kill me...
Just as Yue Ling was pulling Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang to run, the flying blade of light happened to deviate by just a little bit...
Normally... if the blade's light were slightly off-center, it wouldn't be a big deal... but the problem is that sometimes things just happen by chance, and this off-center blade light happened to fly towards a street nearby.
Just as the blade flashed across the street, the funeral procession for Meng Lineage Meng Er, the patriarch of the Meng family, emerged from that street.
That flash of light was definitely something real...
The blade flashed and cleaved Meng Er's coffin in two. The coffin fell to the ground, and Meng Er's body rolled out of it.
However, Meng Er's body, which was originally intact, was now... split in two by this one cut...
The crying stopped instantly...
The wind stopped blowing...
At that moment, time seemed to stand still on the entire street...
Yue Ling covered her mouth, looking completely bewildered at the situation...
"It was him... it was him who killed the patriarch..."
At this moment, the waiter in the funeral procession also recognized Black Sha's identity, and pointed at Black Sha and shouted loudly.
As soon as the waiter shouted this, the entire Meng Lineage's funeral procession instantly descended into chaos...
With a flash of light, Meng San retrieved his weapon from his Qiankun Ring!
Not only Meng San, but everyone in the Meng Lineage drew their weapons at this moment!
The Meng Lineage were stunned with rage as they stared at the Black Sha in the distance...
"You are utterly depraved, Black Sha Fiend! You murdered my brother and you still wouldn't stop there, you even went so far as to break open the coffin and desecrate the body on the day of my brother's funeral! What grudge has the Meng Lineage ever against you, Black Sha! Today, the Meng Lineage will fight you to the death!"
Meng San was so angry he almost peed himself...
Although Meng San felt no grief over Meng Er's death, and even felt a little bit of joy...
Since Meng Er is dead, there is a high probability that the position of family head will fall to Meng San.
Therefore, the death of the second brother may not necessarily be a bad thing for Meng San.
The problem is, Meng San said, "You killed my second brother, fine... but today you blocked our funeral procession, you even cleaved my second brother's coffin open with one blow! You killed him, fine, but you even went so far as to destroy my second brother's body on the day of our Meng Lineage's funeral! What kind of deep-seated hatred do you have?"
Not to mention the Meng Lineage, countless residents of Hundred Herbs City who had rushed out to see what was happening were completely dumbfounded...
"My God... what kind of deep-seated hatred is this... not only did they kill someone, but they also had to block the funeral procession and chop up the corpse!"
"Killing someone is one thing, but to kill them and then desecrate their body is utterly depraved..."
"This is the most ruthless person I've ever met..."
Not to mention others, even Yue Ling was looking at the Meng Lineage members with sympathy. Yue Ling thought she was already miserable enough from being chased, but she never expected that Meng Er from the Meng Lineage was even more miserable than her!
Even after death, his body was hacked apart. The person facing that person was truly ruthless and insane!
Hei Sha didn't know what the others were Black Sha... but he was completely Black Sha...
This script isn't right...
That last slash of my sword was clearly aimed at that target over there...
Why did the blade of light veer off course as it flew...?
Furthermore, while it's understandable that the blade's trajectory might deviate from Black Sha's at other times, the problem is that this particular strike's deviation is rather absurd.
The knife landed squarely in the middle of the Meng Lineage's funeral procession, and it even sliced open Meng Er's coffin, cutting off Meng Er's body along with it!
At this point, not only were others at a loss for words, even Black Sha himself didn't know how to explain the current situation!
The fact that Black Sha killed Meng Er might cause grief among some members of the Meng Lineage, but certainly not many...
But when Black Sha cleaved the coffin in two, along with Meng Er's corpse, the Meng Lineage was no longer in a state of grief.
The Meng Lineage was furious beyond measure!
After all, it's not uncommon for family heads to be killed, you know...
It's not uncommon for family members to hire someone to kill their own patriarch.
Killing the patriarch and now blocking someone's funeral procession and splitting their coffin lid are two completely different things.
Today's matter is no longer just about Meng Er, the head of the family; it involves everyone in the entire Meng Lineage.
Even if the Meng Lineage is incredibly patient, they simply can't tolerate this anymore!
"All members of the Meng Lineage! Follow me to slay the villain and avenge our patriarch! The Meng Lineage will not rest until the villain is dead!"
Meng San held a sharp blade in his hand, his eyes filled with boundless killing intent!
"Meng San... don't be impulsive! If I told you this was a misunderstanding, would you believe me?" Black Sha shouted as he saw the Meng Lineage rushing towards him.
But the answer to Black Sha was the knife in Meng San's hand.
Meng San's eyes were bloodshot right now...
This damn Black Sha... You kill and dispose of corpses, fine, but today you're treating me, Meng San, like an idiot, aren't you?
Listen to Black Sha is saying—is that even human language?
Is this a misunderstanding?
If you were to say there might be issues with the fact that you killed my second brother, even if you said my second brother poisoned himself, I would have hesitated for a second.
The problem is, everyone saw you chop off my second brother's coffin lid and split his body in two with a single stroke today. Do you think we're all Black Sha?
You call this a misunderstanding?
Alright... next time, it must be a misunderstanding on the part of the Meng Lineage's knife!
Good heavens, the Meng Lineage family and the Black Sha Fiends instantly clashed!
"Meng San... use your brain... what reason do I have to kill your second brother? What reason do I have to destroy your second brother's body!" Black Sha was so angry that he cried... This Meng San was like a madman, trying to kill him!
But Hei Sha's Black Sha only made Meng San angrier...
Yeah... what the hell was your reason for killing my brother? What reason did you have to desecrate his body?
You have no reason whatsoever, you just want to do it, right?
You, Black Sha, are absolutely insane!
The two sides were already locked in battle, with the Meng Lineage fighting in a frenzy... while Black Sha's group was completely bewildered by the ravenous Meng Lineage...
Henchman A said, "Boss... this script is clearly wrong... weren't we here to take down those three people's targets?"
Did we receive any other orders to temporarily change the target?
So why has our opponent become the Meng Lineage today...? Aren't the Meng Lineage on our side?
But before the younger brother could even think, he was hacked to death by several Meng Lineage rushed at him!
Keep in mind that Black Sha's side didn't have many people to begin with, but don't forget what's going on with the Meng Lineage today...
That's the patriarch's funeral... You don't need to care what kind of person Meng Er is as the patriarch, or whether he's popular or not...
However, with the patriarch deceased and a funeral procession underway, any member of the Meng Lineage would have to rush back no matter what.
So the Meng Lineage family was incredibly well-organized today... basically everyone who could make it back was there.
It's no exaggeration to say that if Meng Er were to officially start a war with Black Sha, the Meng Lineage definitely wouldn't be able to send this many people...
But today, the Meng Lineage is all here.
With the Meng Lineage outnumbering them and fueled by boundless rage, each Meng Lineage disciple unleashed 120% of their fighting power!
Black Sha's side was already small in number, and in this short period of time, apart from Black Sha, all of Black Sha's underlings had been killed by the Meng Lineage!
Black Sha kept explaining to Meng San that it was a misunderstanding...
The problem is that Meng San said, "I misunderstood your second uncle and your second aunt's snow frog!"
I saw it with my own eyes, and you call this a misunderstanding?
Hearing is unreliable, seeing is believing. How could there be any misunderstanding when I saw it with my own eyes!
Countless members of the Meng Lineage are now frantically attacking Black Sha...
It has to be said that this Black Sha is truly something else... Despite being surrounded by so many members of the Meng Lineage, Black Sha managed to fight his way out and eventually escape...
Seeing that Black Sha had escaped, Meng San immediately issued a bounty order for Black Sha in the name of the Meng Lineage!
No matter where Black Sha flees to, the Meng Lineage will never let such a madman go!
The bloody battle ended with Black Sha and all of his men perishing.
However, the Meng Lineage also suffered incredibly heavy casualties...
The entire street is now stained red with blood... Countless members of the Meng Lineage have died here!
Seeing the Meng Lineage family suffer so many losses in this battle, Meng San was on the verge of tears...
What the hell is wrong with Black Sha?
Even if you have a grudge against the Meng Lineage, you don't have to go this far, do you?
The Meng Lineage collected Meng Er's cleaved body again. Today was originally the day of the family head's funeral, but now, with so many members of the Meng Lineage dead, it was convenient for them to be buried along with him...
Although there had been wailing in the Meng Lineage's funeral procession before, it was all just for show. But now, with the procession members covered in blood continuing their journey, the wailing no longer needed any acting...
Those people were truly crying their hearts out...
Yue Ling stood in the alley and witnessed the entire battle firsthand...
At this moment, Yue Ling thought... Is this what the martial arts world is like?
Why is this martial arts world so different from the ones I've seen before?
Isn't this martial arts world a bit too ruthless and outrageous?
