The martial artists surrounding him already knew Wang Yue was highly skilled. Again and again, they'd assumed he would run out of strength and tried to overwhelm him with sheer numbers.
But what they hadn't expected was to be disappointed again and again. Wang Yue's Internal Energy seemed inexhaustible, as if he could draw on it without limit.
If Wang Yue hadn't held back, injuring them instead of killing them, they would probably all have died there.
The battle went on for a long time. Just seeing Wang Yue's sword made people tremble, and his fight in Gusu made him a legend.
At some point, no one dared attack him anymore. Only then did Wang Yue return his sword to its scabbard and look toward the sedan chair in the distance. "Eldest Miss Lei, do you think I've earned these gold ingots?"
Lei Chun hadn't expected Wang Yue to be so skilled. She gave nothing away, and replied in a cool voice, "With martial arts as impressive as yours, Young Hero Wang, even if Six and a Half Hall doesn't get the box, this trip won't have been in vain."
Wang Yue heard the invitation in Lei Chun's words and readily replied, "In that case, would I be fortunate enough to share a drink with you, Eldest Miss Lei?"
Lei Chun didn't know what Wang Yue was after, but she knew the people she'd brought couldn't stop him. They'd only end up disgraced.
She was always exceptionally clever and more than a little bold. With a radiant smile, she said in a much gentler voice, "I'd be happy to."
Seeing that Lei Chun had agreed, Wang Yue went over to the Four Great Generals and quietly told them to take the more than ten chests of gold back to Gusu
