Chapter 949 The Heroine Unleashes Her Power
"Young Master Tian, we have no money. Could you please grant us two more days?" followed by an old voice.
"No money? What kind of shop can you open if you don't have money?" The rough voice continued, "Since you don't want to keep this shop open anymore, then take everything with you."
The man waved his hand, and five or six burly men behind him stormed into a small shop and began looting without any regard for the consequences.
"Stop! Stop it!" A girl cried, tears streaming down her face, as she lay on the ground.
This was the family fortune she and her father relied on for survival.
"See? The moment of hero saving the damsel in distress has come again." Jiang Yunying glanced at Lin Ping.
"This time it's my wife's turn to show off her skills." Lin Ping chuckled, having already seen through Jiang Yunying's thoughts.
The reason she disguised herself as a man was to prevent Lin Ping from having the opportunity to steal the spotlight.
Bang bang bang!
With several muffled thuds, several men were kicked away, leaving only Tian Da standing there in terror.
"Miss Duan..." Tian said tremblingly upon seeing the newcomer.
It wasn't Jiang Yunying who made the move, but rather the four disciples of the Lianxia Sect.
"Tian Da, it's you again? Are you itching for a beating again?" the leading disciple said coldly.
“Miss Duan, you can’t do this. The people of Yazhou City have given all their tribute to the Lianxia Sect. You may be full, but you can’t let us starve to death, can you?” Tian Da said, mustering his courage.
As a notorious tyrant in Yazhou City, Tian Da made a living by collecting protection money for many years.
However, in the past two years, the Lianxia Sect has risen to prominence and re-established order, prohibiting anyone from collecting protection fees from ordinary people.
In other words, the people of Yazhou City are protected by the Lianxia Sect and do not need to pay protection fees to others.
The appearance of the Lianxia Sect disciples immediately drew cheers from the people. With the Lianxia Sect around, they had no fear of any bullies.
"Hmph, the Lianxia Sect set these rules two years ago," Duan Yuqi said coldly, almost drawing his sword.
"That was two years ago. Rules are rules, but people are flexible. It's time to change them," Tian Da said, his face full of fat. "Keep robbing!"
Faced with Tian Da's overbearing attitude, everyone was dumbfounded. Did this guy have a death wish? How dare he act wildly in front of the Lianxia Sect?
“Husband, Tian Da’s brain isn’t working properly.” Jiang Yunying also felt that Tian Da was courting death.
“Since he can become a local tyrant, it proves that Tian Da has some ability. There are two reasons why he did this. First, he has really reached a dead end and has to take a gamble. Second, the situation in Yazhou City has changed,” Lin Ping calmly analyzed.
Tian Da's eyes shone with light; he was no fool seeking death. There must be something fishy going on.
Under Tian Da's command, the five or six burly men actually made a move, seemingly unafraid of the Lianxia Sect disciples.
"You're asking for death!" Duan Yuqi's eyes turned cold, and she kicked the group of people away again, including Tian Da.
"Tian Da, if you dare to act recklessly again, don't blame me for being merciless with my sword." Duan Yuqi kicked Tian Da to the ground, the blade pressed against his throat, her eyes icy cold.
Faced with life and death, Tian Da showed no fear whatsoever.
"Duan Yuqi, don't think your Lianxia Sect can cover up everything. Let me tell you the truth, the Shushan Sword Sect sent me. You just wait here!"
After leaving behind a harsh remark, Tian Da fled in a panic.
"As expected of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. It seems that losing Meizhou City has been a significant loss for them, and their reach has already extended to Yazhou City." Lin Ping sneered inwardly.
This was also part of his plan.
First, drive the Shushan Sword Sect to the brink of destruction, then let them bite like mad dogs, fighting for territory everywhere, and eventually become the common enemy of all major sects.
You could tell from Duan Yuqi's eyes that she didn't have a good impression of the Shushan Sword Sect.
"Senior sister, why don't we back down? The Shushan Sword Sect is not to be trifled with," a disciple beside her advised.
Even though the Lianxia Sect has made great strides in recent years, it is still far behind the Shushan Sword Sect.
"So what if it's the Shu Mountain Sword Sect? So what if it's one of the three great sword sects? Our Lianxia Sect will still fight them!" Duan Yuqi said arrogantly.
Hearing this, Lin Ping suddenly felt that this woman wasn't so annoying after all.
Although she was somewhat arrogant and disdainful of others, she had a clear understanding of right and wrong when it came to matters of principle.
Since we have accepted the tribute from the people of Yazhou City, we must become their protector.
"If the Shushan Sword Sect had the same sense of responsibility, they wouldn't have lost the trust of the people of Meizhou City," Lin Ping thought to himself, shaking his head inwardly.
"Senior Sister is right, we must protect the safety of the people," the youngest junior sister said earnestly.
The other two had no choice but to stay and face the crisis together.
"Young hero, they're just ahead. They're the ones who stopped me from collecting protection money for this street." Before long, Tian Da led four Shu Mountain disciples to arrive quickly.
"Two late-stage fourth-level cultivators and two mid-stage fourth-level cultivators, it seems the Shu Mountain Sword Sect has really gone all out," Lin Ping thought to himself.
Even a major sect like the Shu Mountain Sword Sect cannot have experts at the late stage of the fourth level everywhere.
The fact that a mere city like Yazhou sent several experts shows that they are desperate and resorting to any means necessary.
Besides sighing, Lin Ping was actually worried for the Lianxia Sect members. Apart from Duan Yuqi, who was at the late stage of the fourth level, the other two were at the middle stage of the fourth level, and the youngest girl had barely entered the fourth level. They were no match for the Shushan Sword Sect.
"The Shushan Sword Sect and the Lianxia Sect have always kept to themselves. Why did you injure my people?" a Shushan disciple began to question.
Since the other party was a disciple of the Lianxia Sect, they couldn't just start a fight directly.
"Hmph, your men want to collect protection money from the common people here. Letting them live is already me being merciful," Duan Yuqi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"You collect your tribute, I collect my protection money, and we'll keep to ourselves," the Shu Mountain disciple said again.
Clearly, the Shushan Sword Sect intends to exploit the local people a second time.
They did not harm the interests of the Lianxia Sect, but they made the lives of ordinary people even worse.
"You won't get a single copper coin from here!" Duan Yuqi said, her teeth clenched, clearly enraged.
"Very well, the mere Lianxia Sect dares to be an enemy of my Shushan Sword Sect, they are truly overestimating themselves!"
The disciples of Mount Shu smiled coldly and began their attack.
"Shushan Sword Formation!"
The two strongest fighters unleashed their most powerful sword techniques.
Clearly, they wanted to establish their authority in Yazhou City and let the people here know who the true masters of the Bashu region were.
The small Lianxia Sect was no match for them.
At the same time, the Shushan Sword Sect also wants to tell all the other sects that their strength is beyond question, and that going against them will only lead to their demise.
Those who obey me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish!
