Death… and me

Even when your life is in danger and people are trying to kill you, you are able to break through?

Almost everyone in Jiang Hu had at least experienced being chased by others who were trying to take their lives. This was a feeling that everyone was familiar with. In such a situation, being able to escape was good enough, no one would have thought of breaking through in such a situation!

However, this lucky bastard had managed to break through while being chased by people who wanted to kill him!

What sort of sorcery was this?

The crowd could not believe their eyes! This was definitely due to the mysterious power of the Ask the Heavens Sword!

Dong Wu Shang flew down and brought the sword along with a flash of blinding light. He then roared loudly, "Come at me! I will let you come and meet the Ask the Heavens Sword!"

When the crowd heard this, they wanted to spit out blood in disgust.

This bastard already had the divine sword and now he wants to brag about it?

A loud roar resonated from the crowd and all of a sudden, a few hundred people rushed forward simultaneously. The moment that Dong Wu Shang's sword touched the wave of weapons which came at him, he was being thrown backward almost as though he was being deflected.

At that point, he had been surrounded by many Jiang Hu people who stood on the roofs of the buildings around him, waiting for an opportunity to strike. They quickly took action and moved to block him. However, this was to no avail as the sharpness of the Ask the Heavens Sword prevented them from being able to do so.

The sounds of weapons clashing against other weapons rang out and broken sword pieces rained from the sky. Dong Wu Shang quickly weaved in and out and gradually broke out of their encirclement.

"Swoop, swoosh." everyone in the vicinity turned around and gave chase, rushing after him as quickly as the wind.

Dong Wu Shang ran as fast as he could.

In just a split second, he had reached the main doors of the government office. He stood tall with his chest out proudly in front of the Great Zhao's Continent Center's Ministry of War. There were soldiers who were on patrol who guarded the area.

After they spotted the silhouette of Dong Wu Shang, they immediately sprung into action and shouted, "Who is that? Halt!"

Instead of stopping, Dong Wu Shang ignored their orders and rushed forward like a tornado. His legs relentlessly kicked the people below him. He had pushed off over seven or eight soldiers. Using that technique to move, he had managed to open up a path. Dong Wu Shang then aimed straight for the closed main door of the official building. He brought down the door using the blade of the Ask the Heavens Sword, leaving a gaping entrance into the building!

With a loud "boom", he created an extremely large hole. Dong Wu Shang's body flashed, and he disappeared from sight.

Behind him, more than a thousand Jiang Hu people rushed forward. The crowd became crazed as they watched Dong Wu Shang enter the Ministry of War. The guards barely had any time to think as the entire group simultaneously pushed toward the main gate…

"Halt! Halt!" The guard's voice had greatly weakened, "This is an official military building! Anyone who dares to cause trouble…!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was being kicked away. Right after, countless feet stepped over his body as the crowd rushed into the Ministry of War building!

All of a sudden, the orderly Ministry of War was being turned into a messy pig sty. The soldiers in the garrison quickly woke up from their sleep and hastily tried to block them with all their might. However, their efforts were in vain as they were being beaten silly within moments.

"Boom." Dong Wu Shang broke through a side of the encirclement with the sword. He ran listlessly as though he was trying to escape the group. Hundreds of Jiang Hu people were waiting for him like tigers on the prowl as he attempted to get out. He let out a terrified cry and quickly went back in. He then made another large hole on the other side.

These people were a little hesitant when they saw that he was in the Ministry of War building. They weren't as impulsive as the others to rush directly in. However, the moment that they saw the owner of the Ask the Heavens Sword running towards them in terror and quickly turning back, they were like starving people who just had a piece of delicious meat taken away from them.

How could they hold back?

With a cry, all of them rushed in without any regard for the Ministry of War. "Boom". Dust and smoke filled the air as the wall on that side of the office of the Ministry of War collapsed.

The staff hastily sounded the horn to signal for backup from the other guards of the Ministry of War!

Right away, the sound of horns echoed from all different directions.

The people of Jiang Hu who were giving chase from behind finally caught up. However, without knowing where Ask the Heavens Sword was, they did not dare to break into the Ministry of War and the entire group halted.

However, at that very moment, they heard an angry roar, "If you want to take the Ask the Heavens Sword from me, you will have to do so over my dead body!" They then saw a blinding sword light shoot straight to the heavens and painful screams rang out…

Their minds could not help but be captivated in awe.

An old man with a Revered cultivation level yelled out, "I will go in and see." After flying up, he quickly broke into the office. Everyone looked at one another and their surroundings. They quickly realized that the number of Jiang Hu people gathering was rapidly increasing and therefore they grew bolder. A phrase came to their minds: "The law cannot punish a crowd…"

Suddenly, someone shouted out, "The Ask the Heavens Sword is inside, what are we waiting for?"

This shout ripped apart the night sky. Everyone immediately roared and rushed into the already tattered office with the force of mountains and oceans!

It wasn't until they entered that they discovered that the interior was in ruins. There were a large number of corpses of both soldiers and Jiang Hu people scattered all over the place!

The sound of killing and screaming rang out endlessly from all directions. People were killing until their eyes turned red.

While they were suspiciously searching for the sword, a grievous voice rang out, "It is an urgent matter, why are you delaying? Breaking into an official government building is a capital offense! Shoot the arrows!"

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh." Arrows rained from all directions.

The crowd was caught unprepared. This resulted in more than a dozen people being hit by arrows and they let out painful screams. With their companions dead and injured, the fierce temper of the Jiang Hu people rose "Fight! Fight to the death with them!"

"Fight to the death with these dogs!"

Amidst the yelling, the entire Jiang Hu crowd pulled out their sabers and swords. They then collided with the soldiers surrounding them.

Horse hooves sounded like thunder as the soldiers nearby came to their aid.

The moment the leaders of the reinforcements witnessed the chaos, they immediately gave orders for the soldiers to rush in right away to help the situation…

Just like that, a great fight commenced…

Before the sound of horse hooves were heard, the owner of Ask the Heavens Sword, Dong Wu Shang… the person that had caused this chaos, panicked and broke free…

"Ahwooh!…"

A mysterious howling sound rang out. Luo Ke Di, second young master of the Luo clan, appeared with a blinding sword light. He asked with excitement, "Ask the Heavens Sword is mine! You bastards dare to come and take it?"

This sword light immediately stopped more than half of the people who had been pursuing Dong Wu Shang.

Everyone almost fainted from his stupidity. Even if you wanted it and you're anxious, you should at least have the sword in your hand before you talk like that. Right now, you aren't even trying to take the sword but are blocking us instead. Are you trying to help that punk escape?

They cursed him, and in fact, they were right. Luo Ke Di was trying to help Dong Wu Shang escape.

After fighting excitedly for a while, Luo Ke Di turned and ran, "F*, where did that punk go? Leave the sword…"

The wave of disoriented people behind him quickly rushed past him.

"Bam, bam…"

In front of them, a group of a few thousand riders turned around the corner and started heading towards them as they came to face with Luo Ke Di…

"Brothers, let's kill! The dog officials are here. Even if we have to die, we have to take these dog officials along with us! Ahwooh…" Luo Ke Di let out an odd howl and rushed forward with an extremely grievous look.

"Shoot the arrows!" The leader of the soldiers had an icy gaze that flashed with cruelty.

The moment the order was given, thousands of arrows were shot simultaneously.

"Swoosh… swoosh… swoosh…"

Almost immediately, the dark arrows flew toward them and covered the sky. Luo Ke Di barked, "Dog officials! You are truly ruthless!" He continued to swing his sword relentlessly, protecting his body as he shot forth like a meteor. He was coming from behind and went first into the group of soldiers!

Clang. The sound of weapons hitting each other rang out. Luo Ke Di jumped up and kicked the general off his horse. His two legs kicked fiercely at the majestic rectangular face of that general. He even cursed, "What majesty! What arrogance! You are a shameless king of bastards… Ahwooh…"

The soldiers hastily rushed toward them. More than a dozen angry blades slashed in Luo Ke Di's direction. Luo Ke Di let out a loud scream and jumped. He ran and hid under the horse's stomach, "Ahwooh, brothers, you must hang on! Hang on…"

Then with a boom, the wall next to him exploded, and he disappeared without a trace.

The general who had been kicked in the face several times by Luo Ke Di clamored back up with an extremely bruised face. His mouth and nose were bleeding. This made his face look like a pig. He had also lost a few teeth. He roared out fiercely, "Kill! Kill! Kill! Don't even leave a single one of them alive!"

"Kill!" Two thousand soldiers rushed towards the group of a few hundred Jiang Hu people.

After a wave of raining arrows, the Jiang Hu people already suffered great losses and multiple injuries. At that point, the entire bunch of them wanted to run away, but it was too late. Thousands of troops were rushing in. They immediately surrounded the bunch, and swords and arrows rained down on them from above.

"Kill… kill… kill…" The leading general clutched his nose with his hand. The embarrassment and anger which surged within his eyes were intense. Earlier, he had heard a horn signal for help and immediately came to the rescue. However, never would he have expected to be beaten up on the way.

His attacker was merciless! How could he hold back his anger? If these guys are your martial brothers, I will make sure to kill them all…

Smoke appeared everywhere in the Continent Center Citadel and horn signals continuously sounded out.

The chaos at the Ministry of War had yet to subside when all of a sudden, more chaotic sounds came from another direction.

"Ask the Heavens Sword! Ask the Heavens Sword is here!"

If there was someone who knew the layout of the Continent Center Citadel well, they would have definitely known that the sounds came from the Great Zhao's Ministry of the State…

The Ministry of War had already been turned into ruins and now the Ministry of State was starting to become chaotic. Moreover, Dong Wu Shang was extremely lucky as he managed to coincidentally run into the Ministry of State's vault?

This was too much!

Second young master was a just maniac; why would he care about money? With a single kick, a trunk flew out. Two Jiang Hu men who had been chasing him turned into smashed meat by the trunk that fell on them. At the same time, there was a loud boom. Glistening gold scattered all over the ground.

"Oh! Gold!" Second young master Luo Ke Di quickly ran over when he saw gold all over the ground. He immediately yelled out in excitement, "Ahwooh… So much gold… Grab it quickly everyone… Motherf*, there is only one Ask the Heavens Sword, but there is so much gold… Motherf*, this is the real stuff…"

He quickly grabbed a few pieces…

Dong Wu Shang was extremely strong. He picked up a trunk of gold one after the other and threw them out. The entire Ministry of State was immediately glistening in gold…

Boom…

The entire place was filled with chaos

"Ahwooh… Not robbing. This is not robbing. Anyway, even if I rob, no one would know… His grandmother! It's gold; it's gold… Ahwooh…" Dong Wu Shang howled loudly.
