Chapter 561 - 240: Gathering Clouds Without Rain, Sealing Eight Directions 4

"What Five Thunders Gang Leader, such a big name, yet so vulnerable."

She shook her head, stood firm with her saber, and no longer pursued, merely letting out a long cry.

From all directions, countless soldiers clad in black armor, wielding long sabers, emerged from the woods and riverbanks.

They sealed off all major routes, intercepting and slaughtering the remnants of the gang.

Those who fled into the city, she ignored, but outside the city, no matter which direction, she spared no one.

As the Primordial Iron Cavalry dispersed into teams of five and groups of three, intercepting and massacring everywhere, the area outside the city gradually quieted down.

The city walls were especially silent.

Everyone watched, trembling with fear.

"Not even holding off for a single round, was that really Gang Leader Chengg?"

After a long while, an official wearing a feathered black hat asked in a trembling voice.

He completely couldn’t believe his eyes.

Before deploying the troops, he had confidently toasted with three cups of wine, hoping for a victorious return.

Moreover, he had called friends and city intelligentsia to the city walls to witness the hero break the enemy.

And the result?

Indeed, they witnessed a hero breaking the enemy.

However, the hero was not Five Thunders Gang Leader Chengg Tianya, but rather that female general opposing them.

With just one easy charge, she shattered nearly a thousand Five Thunders gang members...

The opponent didn’t even lose a single person.

What is this?

If she were to lead an assault on the city, what would happen?

He dared not think further.

Wind Valley City Venerable Li Yuantong at this moment felt his vision go black, a sweetness rising in his throat, pressing his chest with no words to say.

In fact, there were many more far worse off than him.

The city walls also carried a faint stench, unsure who was scared into losing control...

The wind blew, filling everyone’s noses.

At this point, no one paid attention to these minor details anymore.

"That was Han Xiaoru, a general under His Highness King Ping, known in Jianghu as the Blood Jade Rakshasa...

I heard she is invincible in battle, her might unstoppable, preferring to crush strength with strength. Those who oppose her often end up with shattered bodies, unable to leave a whole corpse."

"Poor Gang Leader Chengg..."

Those with informed sources sighed nearby.

"Just relying on us to break out of the city and report is hopeless. I wonder if those Shenxiao disciples who left via the water route have escaped?"

"Do what we can, and leave the rest to Heaven’s Mandate. If the Shenxiao Sword Sect receives the news and sends reinforcements quickly, we still have a chance, otherwise, things are dire."

"Indeed, as long as the Shenxiao Sect Immortal Masters get the message and personally intervene, the Jade Rakshasa is nothing."

At these words, everyone lifted their spirits again, showing smiles on their faces.

Those who reach high positions are mostly cunning and meticulous thinkers.

From Han Xiaoru besieging the city but not attacking, only sealing key routes, it can be seen that their attacking force is not that large, at most five to eight thousand.

If they occupied the city, they certainly could, but they wouldn’t be able to block external roads, and information would leak out.

But if they block the roads, they can’t occupy the city.

The opponent wouldn’t let a single person or horse out of the city, even shooting down birds in the sky to see if they carried messages, clearly fearing any word reaching the Shenxiao Sword Sect.

Given this, it’s clear the army outside the city holds fears towards the Shenxiao Sword Sect.

To put it plainly, they fear news reaching Shenxiao Mountain that the Jiangdong battle is settled and the deaths of Imperial Forest Grand Governor Yan Beifei and Daoist Mingcheng, prompting the Supreme Immortal Master to descend the mountain.

In light of this, no further thought is necessary on what to do.

Now, they just need to wait.

Wait for daylight.
