Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Rendered Speechless With Fear
"What?!"
Only a fleeting thought crossed the minds of the three, and the fierce weapon, the saber, struck first, slashing onto the broadsword wielded by the lead brute.
Clang!!
An invisible force like a mountain pressing down caused the broadsword to crack open, forming a massive gap.
The brawny man with tattooed arms stumbled back more than ten meters, his wrist shattered and blood gushing like a flood, horror in his eyes, before collapsing to the ground on his behind!
Without sparing a glance at the tattooed brute, Su Lang lunged forward, ducking and twisting his waist. The saber's blade glinted like a flash of lightning as it sliced through the waist of the other two men.
The ferocious expressions of the duo froze instantly, their faces contorting in agony, twisted by pain.
"Ahh!!"
"My... it's gone!!"
"The pain... so much pain! So much blood!"
"No!"
The two men writhed on the ground, shrieking and rolling like shrimp, enveloped by agony.
The women nearby watched in disbelief, their faces filled with shock and awe.
The expected scene never materialized, and on the contrary, it was the three ferocious brutes who were defeated by Su Lang's saberplay!
Those three fiends, like devils incarnate, had been beaten!
Fear, astonishment, confusion, joy, and more swirled within the women, leaving them at a loss for expression.
Their eyes wide, they stared at Su Lang, their bodies trembling, taut, and convulsing with intense emotions!
"What a cacophony!"
Su Lang's brow furrowed, and with a swing of his saber, he dispatched the two men as easily as killing chickens.
"You dare kill members of the Broken Axe Hunting Group! Your death is certain!"
The anger in the fallen tattooed brute's heart was overwhelming, akin to a tempestuous sea.
The Broken Axe Hunting Group had dominated this stronghold for three whole years, and no one had ever dared invade and slaughter its members!
But the man before him had killed two without batting an eye, truly audacious and unbridled!
"You Broken Axe Hunting Group can kill others, but others can't kill you?" Su Lang coldly sneered, flicking the fresh blood off his blade, step by step approaching the tattooed brute, "What arrogance!"
"Stop! Stop right there!"
The tattooed brute finally panicked, knowing he was no match for Su Lang.
The fight had gone on for a while with no reinforcements arriving, meaning those outside were surely all gone.
At this moment, he was the only remaining member of the Broken Axe Hunting Group in the entire stronghold!
"Why should I stop? Give me one reason."
Su Lang's smile twisted into a smirk, his footsteps pounding like a sledgehammer on the tattooed brute's heart.
"I..."
Faced with the terror of impending death, the tattooed brute felt overwhelming fear rise within him.
"Struck dumb with fear? What a waste!"
Su Lang spoke, lifting his saber, its blade gleaming ominously, like a venomous snake selecting its prey.
"Wait, wait, wait!"
The tattooed brute's terror was palpable as he quickly said, "There's much wealth in this stronghold, and I know where it is!"
Accustomed to a life of luxury and unbridled hedonism, how could the tattooed brute willingly accept death?
"Good, I only want gold and silver coins. Speak quickly, and don't think of stalling!"
Su Lang's words shattered the last glimmer of hope in the tattooed brute's heart.
"Fine, I'll tell you. The gold coins in the stronghold are all in the hands of the guardian lord..."
The tattooed brute swallowed hard and then rapidly spilled everything.
It turned out that the financial power of this stronghold was held by a quasi-martial artist, the guardian lord.
The gold and silver coins were locked in a massive safe in his room.
A smile appeared on Su Lang's face: "I'm not sure if you're telling the truth, so..."
"So what?"
A bad premonition sent a shiver down the tattooed brute's spine.
Su Lang didn't answer but merely smiled faintly, swinging his blade.
"Ah—!"
The tattooed brute felt a chilling sensation in his legs, followed by a wave of excruciating pain that nearly made him pass out.
"If you lied..."
Su Lang looked down at the tattooed brute, "I'll come back and kill you myself. If you didn't lie..."
Here, Su Lang turned to the stunned women and smiled, "Tie him up. If I'm not back in five minutes, his fate is in your hands. If you're lucky today, you may leave this den of evil alive."
