Ch 44: Mowing Down The Weaklings
In Wood Town, the atmosphere today was a little unusual,
all the townspeople had come out of their rooms and were standing on the street to cheer for Baron Reiser’s procession.
There were musicians in the procession, playing cheerful melodies that echoed in the corners of the town.
These musicians were not locals, but people Baron Reiser had brought from elsewhere.
Looking towards the center of the procession, Baron Reiser was riding a tall white steed, full of high spirits. He shouted loudly, his voice full of cunning and unctuousness:
“Today, I will marry my beloved Miss—Na’er! Let our love be blessed in the Holy Spirit Church!”
The people around cheered in response, blessings rising one after another.
Seeing this, Baron Reiser unreservedly revealed a look of contempt and whispered to the Butler beside him:
“These foolish people are truly laughable.”
“Being able to establish a relationship with the Head of the Family, I believe anyone here would be willing to offer their daughter.”
Even if she is the eleventh wife, so what? Even if I get tired of playing with her and kill her, as long as she has the status of a Baron’s wife, she will be a cut above everyone in this town!
It’s not that everyone is willing to give their wives and daughters to the Baron, but there are certainly quite a few who are happy to do so.
“Hmph, remember today who didn’t come out to celebrate!”
He didn’t know who was there to support the event, but he had to remember who wasn’t.
“Yes.”
“I know everyone is busy, it’s just about showing an attitude. I believe after today, our Wood Town will be tightly united as one…”
Baron Reiser spoke abstract nonsense as always, and the sycophants around him kept flattering him.
He hoped that the outsider who came here would dare to attack him; what kind of background could a mere Second Rank cultivator have? He was perfect for establishing his authority.
He believed that after today, he would be the true emperor of this place. As long as no one reported him, the laws of the Kingdom were worthless!
Baron Reiser then turned his gaze to the carriage behind him, inside which sat a tempting dessert,
He liked the taste of minors the most!
However, Na’er was not a helpless child, but a Third Rank strong person!
To prevent her from disrupting today’s plan, Baron Reiser had already instructed a Maid to give her a sleeping medicine,
otherwise, given her attitude, it would be difficult to have the Maid help her change and bathe.
Reiser regretted this tonight because what he liked most was coercion, but with Na’er’s Third Rank strength, it was difficult for him to coerce her.
“Who dares to block the way!”
The Guard’s voice broke his reverie. Looking ahead, a mysterious person in a black robe blocked the procession’s path.
He held twin swords, one black and one white, and wore a pure black mask, revealing only his eyes.
Xia Jiuyuan lightly swung the sword in his hand, tracing. The sword of the Guard who came to shout was split in two, and he issued an ultimatum:
“Idlers retreat. Those who block me will be deemed to be aiding tyranny, and will die!”
Seeing the sudden change, the onlookers, who were ordinary people, wanted to scatter, but Baron Reiser shouted:
“Anyone who dares to leave will have their taxes doubled!”
The scene fell into a deathly silence, leaving only the cries of children. The crowd looked at the man in black in horror but dared not move at all.
Baron Reiser then laughed and said, “Everyone relax. As long as you listen to me, I will be a good Lord.
This man in black is just bluffing. A Second Rank, why is he so arrogant in front of me!
Xia Yuan, you are truly foolish. If Na’er were not unconscious now, I would truly want her to witness your tragic death with her own eyes!”
“What Xia Yuan?”
Xia Jiuyuan shook his head.
“Hahaha, it’s nothing. You can’t escape today. The Trinity Church harbors criminals, and there’s no need for it to exist anymore!
Oh, by the way, you probably don’t know, foolish outsider, Na’er is a Third Rank strong person. I can capture even her, so how dare you, a Second Rank, come to cause trouble!”
Xia Jiuyuan was stunned. He really didn’t know Na’er was Third Rank,
Third Rank at fifteen years old, this is something for ordinary people to feast on.
“Haha, if you kneel down and beg for forgiveness now, I might spare you.”
“You are quite magnanimous.”
Xia Jiuyuan nodded and said, “As for me, even if you kneel down and beg for shit, I won’t let you go.”
Baron Reiser’s face, which had just contorted into a smile, stiffened, and he angrily berated:
“Surround him, break his limbs!”
He did not choose to personally engage and insult Xia Jiuyuan, because his Butler had just transmitted a message to him that the two weapons in Xia Jiuyuan’s hands were not simple, and he should proceed with caution.
And he, Baron Reiser, was never short of caution! This was definitely not due to fear of death.
As the words fell, five Guards surrounded Xia Jiuyuan with their swords.
The leading Guard attacked first. He let out a loud shout, and the Long Sword in his hand, carrying a whistling wind, ferociously chopped towards Xia Jiuyuan’s head.
At the same time, the Guards on the left and right seized the opportunity, leaned forward, and their Sword Blades stabbed directly at Xia Jiuyuan’s abdomen. The Guards behind were not to be outdone, swinging their swords from behind towards his heart.
Surrounded and attacked, Xia Jiuyuan, facing their attacks, was unhurried. He lightly dodged to the left, like a spirit in the forest, skillfully avoiding the attacks on his head and abdomen.
Immediately after, he rapidly spun his body, and the Twin Swords in his hands danced like a storm,
tracing and shining cut through these weapons and bodies as easily as slicing tofu without making a sound. Only the sound of blood gushing and bodies falling could be heard,
followed by complete chaos. Let alone doubling taxes, even if Baron Reiser now said those who left would be executed, he could not stop the panicked scattering of the villagers’ emotions.
In an instant, the five people were cut in half at the waist, and blood gushed out, dyeing the street red.
Fortunately, the black robe was not afraid of being stained with blood, otherwise, Xia Jiuyuan would have looked extremely terrifying right now.
Five Second Rank cultivators were killed by Xia Jiuyuan in one encounter as if he were crushing ants!
“Baron Reiser, I told you my status was not simple, but unfortunately, you didn’t believe me?”
What was the Foundation behind Xia Jiuyuan?
He ate Spirit Plants rarely seen by various Cultivators like they were meals.
He carried extremely overpowered equipment, three Creation Artifacts, and one Naturally Formed Treasure!
He had been trained by Jun Liuhe for half a year, inheriting He He’s elegant combat techniques,
More importantly, he was a Genius himself, a Genius restricted by the System!
Cultivators from such small places with insufficient resources, incomplete Cultivation Techniques, no teachers, and poor aptitude were truly nothing in Xia Jiuyuan’s eyes.
Baron Reiser’s face darkened. He was starting to get scared. The two swords were stronger than he had imagined, truly proving that the person in front of him was extraordinary.
Of course, he wasn’t afraid of this person’s strength, but of him truly having a background.
But logically, how could someone with a true background not have reached Third Rank at this age?
“Today I will marry my eleventh wife—Na’er! Everything I have done is legal and compliant!
And even if you have objections, you should report to the Kingdom and let the Kingdom’s laws punish me!”
“Continue speaking, I’m listening.”
Xia Jiuyuan spoke as he walked towards Baron Reiser. At this time, the onlookers had either run away or dispersed, leaving only him and the Butler.
“I can overlook your actions against my Guards, but if you continue to attack me, whoever you are, by openly violating the Kingdom’s laws, I have the right to—”
