Chapter 30: Defeating Ding Wei and taking over the martial arts world; Ji Changshou surrenders and t
However, Huang Yu still had the advantage of attack range, and under his repeated attacks, Ding Wei rarely had a chance to get close to him.
"Watch out, I'm going to hit your lower body!" Huang Yu shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, he slashed the ground with his greatsword and thrust it upwards, aiming straight for Xiao Dingwei.
Ding Wei crossed his arms and lowered them to block the giant sword's attack.
"Next time I'll hit you on the head!!"
As he spoke, he drew his greatsword and struck down hard on the head.
As Ding Wei parried upwards again, Huang Yu quickly turned, swung in an arc, and aimed upwards at Ding Wei's right armpit.
"Bang!!"
The greatsword struck Ding Wei under the armpit with a muffled thud.
"Ah!!" he screamed, instinctively covering his right armpit with his left hand.
"I'm going to hit you down there again!!"
Huang Yu once again tapped the ground with his sword, aiming at Xiao Dingwei. "Thump!!" The metal struck flesh with another muffled sound.
"Oh ho ho!!!"
Ding Wei clutched his groin and collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his face from the pain.
Those watching shook their heads and sighed.
"Is this still a proper martial arts competition?"
"What kind of martial arts skills could he possibly teach?"
"Who cares? If it really comes down to life or death, as long as we can win!"
Upon seeing this, Ji Changming immediately ordered his men to carry Ding Wei away, waved his sleeve at Ji Lin, and left without saying a word.
Ji Changshou also led his men to follow closely behind.
Ji Lin gave Huang Yu a thumbs up, then looked at Ji Chang'an.
"From now on, Huang Yu and Master Wang will be in charge of teaching and managing the martial arts school." Ji Chang'an smiled slightly.
Huang Yu is in charge of the martial arts department, though it's only a nominal position. But it means that if there are any promising talents in the martial arts department, Ji Lin can send them to the Night Patrol Guard for training under various pretexts, without having to ask the clan for permission. He can use them first and then decide what to do next.
"Father, now that they've started, we can't just sit here and wait to die. It's time to purge the traitors from within," Ji Lin said in a low voice.
"There aren't many people on my list, but the escort agency can definitely be taken back," Ji Chang'an said.
At the last clan elders' meeting, most of the letters that Ji Chang'an presented were between Ji Changshou and the Li family, but the two key figures, Ji Changming and Ji Yongchang, were not involved, or at least their evidence had not yet been obtained.
Ji Lin and Ji Chang'an immediately organized their team, which, together with the night patrol guards and other skilled men, numbered over a hundred, and headed towards Ping An Escort Agency.
A Ping An Escort Agency, with its head镖师 (escort leader),镖师 (escorts), 趟子手 (escorts), and other skilled personnel, would have at most a few dozen people, more than enough to deal with them.
However, it is not advisable to provoke a strong conflict or bloodshed. The best outcome would be for Ji Changshou to back down and surrender obediently.
When Ji Lin and Ji Chang'an arrived at Ping An Escort Agency with over a hundred men, they discovered that Ji Changshou had more than a dozen experts behind him, including Grandmasters, Grandmaster Martial Artists, and several Awakened Ones.
They were on high alert, as if they had made ample preparations.
"Brother, do you really want to wipe them all out?" Ji Changshou asked, choking back tears.
"Ji Changshou, you colluded with outsiders to plot against the Ji family's assets. Do you still blame me for not showing mercy?" Ji Chang'an said angrily.
Ji Lin surveyed the surroundings and sent people out to scout, but found no trace of Ji Changming, Ji Yongchang, or the Li family. It seemed they had already abandoned Ji Changshou as a pawn.
He's currently acting like he's ready to fight to the death, but he's just putting on a brave face.
"Today, we only need to arrest Ji Changshou. The others can lay down their weapons and be let off the hook. If they remain stubborn and aid the wicked, they will be killed without mercy!" Ji Lin shouted loudly.
His shout startled many people, half of whom looked around, lowered their heads slightly, and put down their weapons.
Ji Changshou's confidence came from Ji Changming, Ji Yongchang, and the Li family. Now that he has been treated as a pawn, the Li family probably won't fight to the death for him.
Ultimately, the Li family is just here to stir up trouble and reap the benefits. If we were to risk our lives for them, we would be at a huge loss.
Ji Changshou is stupid, but the Li family is not. When a fight breaks out, the first ones to run away will definitely be those surnamed Li.
However, Ji Lin had no intention of letting them go.
Upon hearing this, Ji Changshou looked around again, but still saw no sign of help arriving, and his heart sank into despair.
His long sword clattered to the ground, his face turned deathly pale, and he sighed and lowered his head, looking like a corpse.
Suddenly, two archers appeared on the rooftops on either side. "Ji Changshou, since you're afraid of dying, I'll help you!"
Ji Lin's heart tightened. This was bad; they were trying to silence him.
"Quickly protect Uncle Longevity!"
Upon hearing the sound, Liu Qingmei immediately activated her skill [Demon Form - Ice Seal], forming a huge ice shield in front of Ji Changshou.
The two arrows struck the ice shield, only causing a few ice shards to fly up.
The night patrol went to arrest two archers, but they resisted fiercely and then committed suicide, leaving no trace of their identities.
Ji Lin had already seen the information about the two men. They were neither surnamed Ji nor Li, but he could roughly guess that no one else would send someone to kill them and silence them.
"Take him down!!" Ji Chang'an gave the order, and two skilled men captured Ji Changshou.
With Ji Changshou's surrender, most people had given up resisting, except for a dozen or so experts who didn't have time to escape.
"Chief镖李, tell me, whose opinion should we listen to now?" Ji Lin asked, looking at the people behind him.
The area was completely surrounded, and even if they wanted to leave, it would be too late.
"Young Master Ji is joking. Of course, I'll listen to you. I was just confused for a moment and didn't recognize you at the time," said Chief Escort Li with a grin, bowing slightly.
"Alright! If you don't resist, I'll believe you. Men, seize him first," Ji Lin said.
Li, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), originally intended to return to report, but he didn't expect Ji Lin to arrive so quickly, and he couldn't escape in time.
When Ji Lin arrived with his men, he wasn't surprised. He thought he could stay at the Ji family's residence for the time being and leave after things calmed down.
Seeing that Ji Lin was not going to let them go, they simply turned their blades on the people in front of them and took several people hostage.
"Let us leave now, or they'll all die!!" Chief Escort Li said.
Upon seeing this, the skilled members of the escort agency quickly scattered to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Among the dozen or so members of the Li family, more than ten surrounded the person holding the hostage behind them, their knives pointed outwards, wary of their surroundings.
"Ridiculous! Fire the arrows!!" Ji Lin gave the order.
Most of the people present, including Ji Chang'an, were stunned for a moment.
Meanwhile, Liu Qingmei and Tang Wu had already activated their skills, and countless ice spikes and thick black bars attacked the Li family members.
Upon seeing this, the archers all drew their bows and nocked their arrows.
The Li family members used martial arts techniques and various skills to block most of the attacks.
Ji Lin raised his hand, preparing to give the order to fire arrows again.
"Release the arrows!!!"
"Since you're useless, then die!" Chief Li cursed, and ordered his men to kick the镖局 (bodyguard agency) members out to shield him from arrows.
Ji Lin gave Tang Wu a wink, and Tang Wu immediately extended more than a dozen black bars, but instead of attacking the Li family members, he quickly pulled out the people from the escort agency.
He himself kept his eyes fixed on the awakened ones among them.
Once the rain of arrows had stopped, he immediately activated his skill [Demonic Appearance - Shadow Strike].
Huang Yu, Liu Qingmei, and Tang Wu followed closely behind.
