952: Chapter 596 952: Chapter 596 Tang Feiyang looked down from a high vantage point at those people.
After all, he was the eldest disciple of Confucianism Tao, a Scholar, further amplified by his seventh layer of Qi Cultivation.
They were certainly not like those Mountain Bandits with only a bit of light-footed skills and Martial Strength, despicable Jianghu People; they were cultivated by a Noble Clan!
Being unyielding in Capital City and within the Noble Clan, the Confucian Family’s reputation was not unearned!
In the past, these people were nothing but minions in their eyes, chased by Mountain Bandits over and over until they were utterly disgraceful—it was enough to make even the Buddha rage!
Tang Feiyang decided it was time to teach them a lesson and let them know that there are always higher heavens; they shouldn’t bully someone just because they seem like easy prey!
After the city gates closed, with the eldest disciple still in the sky, those students dismounted from their carriages and ascended the city wall!
“Eradicate them, Eldest Disciple!
We must not let them continue to harm the common folk!”
“Eradicate them!”
“Eradicate them together!”
Dozens of students shouted loudly, their voices resonant, and they were joined by dozens of Guards alongside more than a hundred others, all waiting for Tang Feiyang’s command.
Even if the eldest disciple didn’t take personal action, they could join forces on the city wall to use their own Inner Strength to teach these Mountain Bandits a lesson!
They wanted the bandits to be beaten without the means to fight back, to release the pent-up frustration from having been chased these past few days!
“Take action, and as long as no lives are lost, prevent them from wreaking further havoc!”
Commanded by Tang Feiyang, his Guards and junior brothers, already arranged in formation, began to move, intending to penalize the Mountain Bandits below the city wall!
The original Soldiers of the wall and the Generals in charge had already fetched the City Lord!
The City Lord of this minor town, here considered a Local Tyrant, was recently informed by Soldiers.
Dozens of luxurious carriages had entered the city gates, intended to be closed, but the opposing force forcefully entered, trapping the bandits outside!
The City Lord sensed that the people in these luxurious carriages were no ordinary folk; where had he ever seen so many opulent carriages travel together in such a small place?
He had initially wanted to unleash his fury on the Soldiers but immediately called for some men to go and see what was happening!
Inside the city, they too rode horses, and after the gates were shut, the people near the gates initially panicked; later, they realized that nothing much had happened since the bandits had been blocked off!
The city remained bustling as before, and the City Lord, followed by some men, galloped towards the scene, the pedestrians dodging the quickly approaching horses, many of them curious about what was happening at the city gates!
Some gossip-mongers followed the procession to the now-closed city gates!
A crowd had already gathered to enjoy the spectacle, seeing the carriages blocking the entrance with the gates closed, but their occupants had ascended the city gates, onto the wall!
The onlookers looked up at the wall, the City Lord dismounted and led others up the wall!
More Soldiers followed him to the ramparts, with more and more people crowding the upper levels.
Atop the city wall: “Subdue, subdue, subdue!”
People’s gaze was captured by the uniformly dressed Guards and the students in white clothing who, standing on top of the city wall with empty hands or weapons, used their formidable Martial Strength to assault the Mountain Bandits through the city gate!
Initially surrounding the entrance, the dissatisfied Mountain Bandits had several teams outside, appearing to have hundreds of members!
They thought that their superior numbers would prevail since they were Knights.
After a brief pause, several more groups of running Mountain Bandits followed up.
Combined, the teams totaled over a thousand people, roughly equal to the number of city Soldiers, and this presented an opportunity for those above the walls to vent their frustration.
Thinking they were out of reach, that those above could do nothing but shoot arrows at them, the bandits conceived the idea to break through the gate!
However, they quickly encountered fierce wind blasts that cut their faces and tore their clothes, leaving every exposed piece of skin feeling as though it had been sliced by a knife!
Bleeding from within, this realization panicked the Mountain Bandits, who had underestimated their quarry and thought they would succeed once they caught up, never considering that the proverbial ‘sheep’ would resist so fiercely!
The scene that unfolded before the City Lord and the many spectators above was something they had feared before—when Mountain Bandits unexpectedly broke through the city gates and could not be stopped, they had no choice but to negotiate.
They later agreed that as long as the bandits stayed out of the city gates, they wouldn’t interfere with their outside activities.
This had only made the bandits more brazen, rampantly stealing from the citizens!
Little did they expect that this time they had provoked such powerful adversaries.
They saw from above that even at a distance, these individuals could wound the Mountain Bandits below, even maim many, rendering them unable to flee the scene.
The bandits on horseback also suffered as their mounts were injured and ran amok, throwing the bandits to the ground.
Later, when they realized things were going awry and tried to flee, they discovered none who escaped were unscathed!
Left behind or escaped, only a hundred or so managed to get away, and those were among the ones with higher Combat Power.
“Ah, help!”
“Wuu, it’s agonizing!”
“Devil, Devil!”
Out of over a thousand people, in a moment’s time, many were gravely injured, and only about a hundred managed to escape.
The stench of blood was heavy, with only their screams audible; they bitterly regretted offending such formidable individuals.
There’s no cure for regret, and once you live this life, you know that one day you will face repayment like this scene!
