The authorities posted notices, and the people soon learned that the Wang Dalong brothers were about to be executed. They were beside themselves with excitement, spreading the news far and wide.
"Hahaha, wonderful! Those two beasts are finally going to face justice."
"I'm going to watch the execution and make sure those two beasts don't die easily."
"Heaven has eyes. Those two demons are finally going to hell."
"..."
The news swept through the entire city like a hurricane, setting the whole city abuzz.
Twin Dragon Mountain had committed every evil imaginable and incurred the wrath of both heaven and man. Now that its two bandit chiefs were to be publicly executed, everyone felt immensely gratified.
To secure spots at the front and witness the two men suffer the ultimate punishment firsthand, some citizens even came to wait at the execution platform overnight.
Early the next morning, the people surged in like a tide, packing the area around the execution platform so tightly that not even water could pass through.
"Move aside! All of you, move aside!"
Several hundred Battle Soldiers, clad in armor and armed to the teeth, escorted the Wang Dalong brothers forward. The citizens voluntarily opened up a path.
"It's them! Those two beasts killed countless innocent people."
"Slice them into a thousand pieces! Don't let them die quickly."
"Those two beasts deserve to die ten thousand times over."
"..."
At the sight of the Wang Dalong brothers, the people's eyes reddened with rage. Their teeth ground together as they wished they could rush forward and devour the two men alive, skin and all.
Twin Dragon Mountain had run rampant across Flowing Cloud Commandery, slaughtering villages and razing towns at the slightest provocation, enraging both gods and men.
Many citizens had lost family members at their hands.
