Chapter 943:
Dodging the hidden weapons, Robb raised his musket again, and with a deafening blast, another sect member fell to the ground.
Then, he swiftly avoided two approaching long knives, firing his musket twice more, and two more sect members went down.
The sect members couldnt help but feel puzzled. Why doesnt this guys musket need reloading to fire repeatedly?Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
This musket is so strange.
Be careful; hes going to shoot at you
Boom!
Another one went down.
In a matter of moments, all the dozen or so sect members lying on the ground next to them were defeated. Robb shook his head in disappointment, realizing that these sect members were nothing more than low-level thugs.
But upon further thought, it seemed that this world was indeed a low-level martial cultivation realm, significantly different from those powerful cultivators in online fantasy novels.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battle, the outcome was becoming clear.
Shisu took down one opponent with her sword, leaving three more to surround her.
Having struggled to deal with her when they were four, facing her now with just three was an even worse situation. Shisu regained her confidence, her sword techniques flowing effortlessly. In just a few moves, another opponent groaned in pain, retreated, and left, leaving only the sect leader and one other expert. They exchanged glances and launched a coordinated attack. Seizing the moment when Shisu retreated, they both used lightness skills and swiftly disappeared into the distance.
Shisu considered pursuing them for a moment but decided against it. Instead, she picked up one of the fallen Wujin Sect members and urgently asked, What happened in the city? Whats the current situation with the Qiantang Sect?
The Wujin Sect member, with blood at the corner of his mouth, chuckled weakly, The Qiantang Sect no longer exists
Robb thought to himself, It seems Im a step late.
Before long, the two arrived at the outskirts of East Hangzhou City. It was a picturesque city with lakes, flowers, and mountains, visible from a distance. However, at the city gates, there was a large crowd, and it seemed quite chaotic.
As they squeezed into the crowd, they overheard people nearby saying, Oh my, so many people have died.
These martial sects have no regard for the law. They start brawls and commit murders without hesitation. Many people have died by the riverside.
How are ordinary citizens like us supposed to live?
I hope the government will properly deal with these troublemakers.
Upon hearing these words, Shisus face turned pale, and Robb also had a good idea of what had happened.
Pushing through the crowd, Shisu rushed towards the eastern riverside of the city. The renowned Qiantang Sect was located along the banks of the grand river in the city, known as the Qiantang River. It was the largest river within East Hangzhou City, with a wide surface and imposing presence.
At this moment, the riverside was also packed with people. Official guards had encircled a grand mansion with hemp ropes, maintaining order on the outskirts. Many curious onlookers stood beyond the ropes. If it werent for the guards maintaining order, these spectators would have undoubtedly rushed into the mansion to witness the commotion.
The strong smell of blood could be detected from afar!
Shisu sprinted to the side of the mansion and attempted to enter, but a constable blocked her path, extending his hand to stop her.
Shisu said, Im from the Qiantang Sect, and I need to go inside.
The constable, upon hearing her words, shrugged and replied, Are you a relative of the deceased? In that case, you can enter with my accompaniment to take a look, identify the bodies. However, be careful not to disrupt the crime scene. Higher-ranking constables will arrive later to examine the scene and investigate for clues. Dont tamper with the evidence.
Having said that, the constable turned and led the way, guiding Shisu inside.
Robb stealthily followed behind, maintaining a low profile as he strolled into the mansion.
