Chapter 8: He Must Be Eliminated

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

The members of the Martial Suppression Hall who were guarding the prison were all lying on the ground, including Zhang Hu.

After most of the people in the cell had fallen, three men in black rushed in very quickly.

Their goal was clear. They took the key, opened the cell, and checked the restricted areas one by one until he saw Li Ming, Li Hei, and Li Hei Zi.

At this moment, only Li Hei was still awake among the three. Li Ming and Li Hei Zi had also fallen asleep.

“Lord Li Hei.”

“Don’t say anything else. Take us away quickly.”

After Li Hei saw these people, he was delighted, but he did not want to stay there for a second longer. Thinking of that terrifying fellow, he was afraid of sudden changes.

The three of them nodded and quickly took Li Hei and the other two with them, preparing to leave. However, just as they arrived at the entrance of the cell, they saw a young man sitting leisurely on a chair by the door.

When Li Hei saw this person, his already limp body became even softer. The hope that had just been ignited was instantly shattered.

“Gentlemen, it is not right to escape from prison.”

The three of them did not know Su Yang, so why would they talk nonsense with him? They looked at each other and planned to attack directly. However, in the next moment, they followed in Li Hei’s footsteps. Several sword wills pierced through the limbs of the three people in an instant.

“Bang bang bang…”

“Ah!” The three of them fell to the ground and wailed in pain.

“Escaping from prison… is a capital offense. We’ll have to chop off three more heads tomorrow.” Su Yang said slowly.

Three days ago, when Li Hei dared to kill him, he thought that the Li family might send someone to break into the prison. Therefore, when he sent Li Hei here, he conveniently set up sword intent in the cell. When there was an abnormality, he could sense it.

There was naturally a limit to the range and duration of the sword intent. It could only stay within a thousand meters of him for a day.

After dealing with the three of them, Su Yang took out a basin of clear water and splashed it on Zhang Hu and the others.

“Who is it? Who dared to attack a member of the Martial Suppression Hall!” Feeling the coldness, Zhang Hu instantly jumped up from the ground. When he saw Su Yang splash water on him, he did not react for a moment. After looking at his surroundings, his brain worked quickly and he quickly understood something.

“Sir… Please punish me!” Zhang Hu lowered his head and admitted his guilt. His face was flushed red. He was ashamed to have made such a big mistake.

Su Yang said, “It’s alright, it’s not your fault. Clean up here and put these people back in custody. See if we can extract some information from them.”

Zhang Hu nodded earnestly, “Yes!”

After settling the matter here, Su Yang left directly.

…

Li Yijiang had been waiting for an entire night. When dawn came, there was still no news. He knew what the outcome of this matter was. Li Yijiang slowly closed his eyes.

“Weapon Master…A mere Weapon Master…You’re really going too far!” Li Yijiang was furious and slapped the table in front of him. The table instantly shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.

…..

As time passed, the sun slowly rose from the bottom and soon reached the sky. The execution ground of Pingshan City was already bustling with noise. The two sides of the street extended all the way until the execution ground was filled with civilians.

Today was a big day for the civilians in Pingshan City.

Li Ming wasn’t a good-for-nothing. He was crazy and ruthless. If there were any obstacles to what he wanted to do, that vicious method would instantly make the obstacles disappear.

Other than those who hated Li Ming, there were also many who were watching the show. After all, he was the third young master of the Li family, a prominent figure in Pingshan City. If the government did not even care about the identity of such a person, then some of the arrogant fellows behind them would have to restrain themselves.

Soon, a group of death row prisoners were pressed forward. When a group of six people appeared, the surrounding commoners were somewhat puzzled.

“Why are there so many people?”

“Isn’t there only a pair of two someday?”

“Yeah… That’s right…”

On the streets and alleys, the people who were watching the show whispered to each other. But no matter what, they were most concerned about Li Ming. As long as Li Ming was there, everything would be fine. If he was not present, they wouldn’t be satisfied even if there were more death row prisoners.

On the execution platform, there was already an executioner waiting for them. The six of them were pressed onto the execution platform and knelt on the ground.

At this moment, the six of them were already panicking. Li Ming was no longer as arrogant and despotic as before. He trembled continuously, looking around, and saw his father in the crowd.

“Father! Save me! I don’t want to die!”

At this moment, he couldn’t care too much. He only had one thought: he didn’t want to die! And his father was his last hope.

In the nearest attic, Li Yijiang’s hand that was holding the chair suddenly tightened.

How… how can I save him?

Son… how could I not want to save you? But I can’t do it…

At this moment, Li Yijiang was extremely sorrowful. If he had known this would happen, he definitely wouldn’t have let Li Ming be too reckless.

He looked at the person sitting on the main seat on the execution ground. He was very young. At this moment, the other party was also looking at him with a faint smile on his face.

Especially Su Yang’s attitude at this moment, as if he was waiting for him to make a mistake and give himself away.

He was… He wanted to uproot the Li family!

Li Yijiang broke out in a cold sweat. Su Yang… He had to die! Otherwise, the Li family would not just lose Li Ming.

In an instant, Li Yijiang’s mind cleared up. He was unprecedentedly clear-headed. He got up and left, telling his servants to prepare to collect the corpse. He couldn’t do anything, and he didn’t want to see his son die in front of him.

When Li Yijiang left, Li Ming, who had seen everything, fell into despair.

On the high platform, Su Yang’s heart moved.” What a ruthless character. He can endure it. I thought he would jump out. Unfortunately…”

Ordinary people might not be able to see anything from these secret confrontations. However, some of the higher-ups in Pingshan City, as well as the Weapon Masters and commanders of the Martial Suppression Hall, could tell.

The Li family…Li Yijiang…He was defeated. He had lost to this newly appointed Weapon Master.

“The criminal, Li Hei, attempted to assassinate Weapon Master Su Yang three days ago and is sentenced to death!”

“The criminals, Li Shan, Li He, and Li Tang, broke into the prison of Spring Wind Hall last night and tried to break into the prison. They were captured by the Weapon Master and executed!”

“So they were all lackeys of the Li family. I was wondering why there were so many people!”

“They still thought they could save Li Ming. They can only hope for the next life!”
