Overturning convention

It completely overturned conventional thinking.

Su Zhan didn't give them much time to think; he charged into the crowd with a short sword in hand.

Although the crossbowmen used ballistae, their range was too short and their power too great, making it difficult for Su Zhan to dodge their attacks.

Therefore, he chose to engage in close-quarters combat with the enemy.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Upon seeing Su Zhan's fierce charge, the black-robed crossbowmen's expressions changed drastically, and they all raised their shields to block in front of them.

They hoped to halt the Su Zhan offensive.

But as soon as they raised their shields, their expressions changed drastically, because Su Zhan had cut two of the shields in half.

The next second, Su Zhan knocked one person away, and then swept the other two away with a whip kick.

"Whoosh!"

Taking advantage of this opening, a Dagger slashed through the air and stabbed Su Zhan hard in the waist.

Su Zhan's expression changed slightly. He moved to the side and, at the same time, grabbed the man's arm and snapped it with a crack.

The man cried out in pain, rolled over, and tried to pull back the Dagger.

"Whoosh--"

Su Zhan severed his wrist holding the knife with a single stroke, then kicked him away.

The man groaned and fell heavily into the grass, unconscious.

Su Zhan wasted no time, picked up the Dagger from the ground, and continued his charge into the elite forces of Wuyi Alley.

His movements were quick and fluid.

In the blink of an eye, five or six Wuyi Alley lay on the ground.

Blood flowed freely.

Seeing Su Zhan's bravery, the members of Wuyi Alley lost their previous arrogance.

Their faces showed fear and panic as they scattered and hid in all directions, searching for a suitable position to confront Su Zhan.

They have come to recognize the difficulty and power of the Su Zhan.

Only the leader in the black robe remained calm.

He stared at Su Zhan and said indifferently, "Young man, you've gotten yourself into trouble tonight!"

"I am a deacon of the Nanguo Chamber of Commerce!"

This is my jurisdiction!

"You trespassed on my territory, killed my men, and harmed so many brothers. Your crimes are unforgivable!"

As he spoke, he took out his phone and made a call, urging more companions to come quickly.

"Your jurisdiction?"

Su Zhan sneered upon hearing this, "How come I've never heard of Wuyi Alley being under your jurisdiction?"

"Let me tell you, if you don't hand over the murderer tonight, or if you don't protect the murderer, I'll wipe out this whole lousy place!"

"I know this isn't your home, and you won't take the blame for others, so I'm not afraid of offending you!"

Su Zhan rebuked him without any politeness. "Bring the murderer out to face his death right now!"

The leader in black robes glared angrily: "You—"

He really wanted to strangle Su Zhan.

Su Zhan gave the order, "Kill!"

The eighteen Martial Alliance disciples roared and charged forward like wolves and tigers.

They had a clear division of labor: some fought the crossbowmen, while others tracked down the man in black.

The leader in black robes shouted, "Stop them! Stop them at all costs!"

The dozen or so crossbowmen in Wuyi Alley immediately raised their Crossbow Bolts and fired.

"Ta-da!"

The two sides' guns clashed repeatedly, and bullets whizzed down.

Su Zhan roared and shot forward, flicking his left hand.

A rope shot out and wrapped around the neck of a crossbowman.

Su Zhan hard, and the rope instantly taut, leaving a red mark on the crossbowman's neck.

Then, he twisted the rope again, throwing the crossbowman back to his original position.

The crossbowman collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Su Zhan gave the rope another jerk, and it wrapped around another crossbowman, pulling him down from the wall.

"Whoosh--"

Su Zhan slashed down with his sword, wounding him, and threw him on the ground to plug the gap.

He grinned maliciously at the remaining crossbowmen. "Not a single one of you are allowed to escape."

Several crossbowmen were furious and gritted their teeth, ready to fire, but they were firmly suppressed by the eighteen Martial Alliance disciples.

Su Zhan also seized a batch of Crossbow Bolts and then unleashed a barrage of arrows at the crowd.

Crossbow Bolts flew, cries of agony filled the air, and soon, seven or eight elite warriors from Wuyi Alley lay dead in pools of blood.

"You little brat, you dare ruin my plans?"

At that moment, the man in black robes was standing on the rooftop, firing Crossbow Bolts at Su Zhan.

The Crossbow Bolts whistled in, their momentum fierce.

Su Zhan swiftly reached out with his right hand, accurately catching the Crossbow Bolts, and then crushing Crossbow Bolts.

The Crossbow Bolts turned into a cloud of iron filings that drifted away.

"Asshole!"

Upon seeing Su Zhan destroy the Hidden Weapons he had fired, the man in black robes flew into a rage.

Then, he took something out of his pocket and threw it out.

"Whoosh!"

The thing flashed by and headed straight for Su Zhan's head.

The object was extremely sharp, like a Dagger, and it even glowed with fire, clearly coated with poison.

Su Zhan's pupils contracted, and he instinctively turned his head to dodge.

With a loud thud, the poisoned dart grazed his ear and embedded itself in the wooden board.

Su Zhan's heart skipped a beat.

Luckily, I reacted quickly enough, otherwise my head would probably have been shot through.

"Kill--"

Seeing that Su Zhan had dodged his attack, the man in black robes pulled the trigger in a fit of rage.

The Crossbow Bolts came flying like locusts.

Su Zhan brandished his longsword to defend himself.

"Ding ding ding!"

The flashing blades blocked twelve Crossbow Bolts.

Su Zhan parried the last one with his longsword, but his shoulder was grazed, leaving a burn mark.

Before he could even catch his breath, another loud bang rang out.

Three more Crossbow Bolts hit the doorframe.

"Click--"

The glass in the doors and windows shattered instantly.

Su Zhan twisted his body, narrowly avoiding the two Crossbow Bolts that were shot at him.

Then, he raised the Crossbow Bolts in his hand and shot it at the roof with a whoosh.

"Clatter!"

A tile on the roof broke, revealing the figure of a man in a black robe.

The man in black robes was startled and tried to lift himself up to leave, but found that his legs were stuck in the mud, and a brute force held him firmly in place.

Su Zhan lunged forward in a flash. "Trying to run? No way..."

The man in black robes cried out in despair, "Let me go! Let me go!"

"Bang--"

Su Zhan delivered a follow-up punch, leaving him bruised and swollen, unable to get up.

The man in the black robe struggled, his mouth moving as if he wanted to say something.

But Su Zhan didn't give him a chance, stepping on his neck and hissing, "Tell me, who sent you?"

The man in the black robe managed to squeeze out, "No... no one sent me..."

Su Zhan slapped him across the face. "Stop pretending? Believe me or not, I'll dig out your heart and ask you!"

The man in black robes gritted his teeth resolutely. "No... no one sent me..."

You're not going to tell, are you?

Seeing that he couldn't pry his mouth open, Su Zhan pressed on his shoulder blade, dislocating it with a crack, and then punched him, shattering his kneecap.

The man in the black robe screamed in agony.

Su Zhan coldly said, "I'll count to three. If you don't confess, I'll cripple all your meridians."

"One two three!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the black robe trembled, sweat pouring down his face.

Su Zhan smiled, "Will you confess or not?"

The man in black robes nodded with difficulty. "Yes... Wuyi Alley..."

Despite his immense suffering, he refused to reveal the mastermind behind it all.

Su Zhan sneered and shattered another joint of his opponent with another punch.

"Ah--"

The man in the black robe let out a shrill scream, feeling as if all the bones in his body had shattered, and beads of sweat on his forehead became even more concentrated.

Su Zhan asked calmly, "Do you still want to talk?"

The man in black robes gritted his teeth and endured, "I won't speak..."

"You're not going to confess, huh?"

Su Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, and with another snap, he forcefully broke the other person's legs.

"Ah--"

The man in black robes screamed in agony again, nearly fainting from the pain.

"You don't have to confess!"

Su Zhan picked up another Crossbow Bolts: "But you don't have to confess, I'll just castrate you first and then interrogate you slowly."

No! No!

The man in black robes panicked and cried out, "I'll confess! I'll confess! Don't castrate me!"

Su Zhan asked indifferently, "Who ordered you to kill Yuan Huihuang?"

The man in black robes gasped for breath, then gritted his teeth. "I'm Killer, I only serve my patrons..."

Su Zhan frowned. "Who is the sugar daddy?"

The man in the black robe gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Do you think I can't find out if you don't tell me?

Su Zhan stomped on his limbs and broke them, laughing, "You guys from Wuyi Alley are close to Long Tianao, and Long Tianao has asked you to do things for him. The mastermind behind it all must be Long Tianao."

The man in the black robe twitched his eyelids, wanting to say something, but remained silent.

"It seems it really was Long Tianao who was behind this."

Su Zhan sighed softly, then picked up a Crossbow Bolts: "Since you're Killer, I'll give you a chance to live."

He glanced at the other person's legs.

The man in the black robe's eyelids twitched. "I'm really not the mastermind!"

"Whoosh--"

Su Zhan his left hand, Crossbow Bolts pierced his left arm.

Blood splattered, and the man in black robes let out another muffled groan.

He bit his lip and stubbornly endured it.

Su Zhan then stretched out his right hand, gripped the Crossbow, and aimed it at his chest.

"Whoosh--"

Another arrow shot through the air, piercing straight through the black-robed man's abdomen.

At this point, the man in black robes finally couldn't hold back any longer and collapsed to the ground with a scream.

He clutched his stomach and scrambled to his feet, crying, "Spare me! Spare me!"

"Will you tell me or not?"

While calming the lingering Crossbow Bolts, Su Zhan kept a close eye on the other party and pressed for answers.

I'll talk, I'll talk!

The man in black robes could no longer resist. "It's Young Master Long!"

A cold glint flashed in Su Zhan's eyes. "Did Long Tianao instigate you to kill them to silence them?"

The man in black robes managed to utter a single word. "Yes!"

"Bang--"

Su Zhan didn't hesitate to shoot him, blowing his heart out.

The man in black robes fell to the ground without a sound, his eyes wide open, clearly never expecting to be killed.

"Bastard, I swear I'll never rest until I kill you tonight!"

Looking at the lifeless black-robed man, Su Zhan roared with hatred.

He knew that there were rules in Wuyi Alley: once Killer confessed, he had to follow the trail to the end unless the employer confessed on his own initiative.

Therefore, Su Zhan could only wash away his shame and anger by killing him with his own hands.

At the same time, Su Zhan was also glad that he had been more cautious earlier, otherwise he would have been ambushed by the other party.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh--"

As Su Zhan threw the man in black robes to the ground, five more masked men in gray robes emerged from the surrounding bushes.

Without a word, they charged forward and surrounded Su Zhan.

With a flick of his wrist, the Dagger flew through the air, striking Su Zhan like a storm.

Soon, they approached Su Zhan. Four men swung their swords, two men stabbed from the side, and another attacked Su Zhan from behind.

Their teamwork was flawless.

However, their strength was far inferior to Su Zhan's, and even with their numerical advantage, they could not make up for the vast difference in quality.

Su Zhan only dodged and did not retaliate, moving among the enemy like a ghost.

Whenever they found an opportunity to stab Su Zhan, or were about to stab Su Zhan was always able to retreat and dodge in time.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh--"

After several unexpected events, the five Killer gradually lost their will to fight. Not only did they fail to harm Su Zhan, but they also became exhausted and panting heavily.

"Flutter--"

Taking advantage of the chaos, Su Zhan pounced forward like a cheetah, his figure tracing a smooth arc in the night.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the Dagger in his hand gleamed coldly in the moonlight, as if foreshadowing his impending death.

A soft but crisp piercing sound rang out.

The Dagger instantly slashed through the throat of one of the masked men, and blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the surrounding grass red.

The man stared in disbelief, clutching his throat, trying to beg for mercy, but only weak sobs came out.

"Ah!" The other two Killer' expressions changed drastically upon seeing this, filled with fear and trepidation. They tried to retreat and escape, but were already stunned by Su Zhan's swiftness.

His body swept across like lightning, the Dagger tracing a smooth arc in the air before slashing straight at the two men's heads.

The moment the blade touched flesh, blood splattered everywhere, and screams pierced the silent night.

The two masked men were thrown back like kites with broken strings, crashing to the ground, barely alive.

Upon seeing this, the remaining masked men's faces froze in terror.

They felt an invisible pressure under the shadow of death, and hurriedly turned to run away, but it was too late.

At this critical moment, Su Zhan struck again like a ghost.

His gaze was firm and cold, and the Crossbow Bolts in his hand was already nocked. With a slight flick of his wrist, the arrow sliced through the air with a "whoosh".

Like lightning in a storm, it struck straight at the heart of the last Killer.

The last man's expression changed drastically, and he gripped his knife with both hands to block in front of him.

A metallic scraping sound rang out, the arrow abruptly stopped in mid-air, then snapped into three pieces with a crack and fell to the ground with a thud.

Without pausing, Su Zhan shifted his feet and instantly closed in on the last Killer, delivering a punch to the man's head.

"Bang!"

The last Killer tried his best to defend himself, but Su Zhan's fist was too fast, and he was still hit on the head.

With a loud bang, the last Killer was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a tree.

The Tree Branch swayed, and fallen leaves fluttered down.

Blood was coming from his mouth and nose, and he lay limply on the ground, motionless, clearly incapacitated.

"Whoosh whoosh--"

Without stopping, Su Zhan fired four arrows in quick succession with his Crossbow, taking down four more masked Killer.

Seeing this, the last Killer was filled with despair and instinctively darted to the side.

Unfortunately, Su Zhan had already located him and delivered a sharp knee strike to the Killer's ribs.

"Ah--"

The Killer let out a scream and was thrown into the air before crashing to the ground.

Su Zhan forward and stomped on his neck, then grabbed a tissue to wipe the blood from the Dagger.

As the last Killer was writhing in agony, he suddenly reached into his pocket and pulled out a miniature short-barreled gun.

He pulled the trigger and fired a series of shots at Su Zhan.

Bang bang bang!

Seven bullets were fired in succession, covering every part of Su Zhan's body, leaving him with no way to avoid them.

Su Zhan showed no fear whatsoever, and raised his Crossbow.

Six Crossbow Bolts shot out, shattering the seven bullets, and continued their trajectory towards the Killer.

"Puff puff puff!"

The Killer fired three shots in an attempt to block the Crossbow Bolts, but he was still a fraction of a second too slow, and all the bullets were knocked to the ground by the Crossbow Bolts.
