In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 470 Such a Scene

The courtyard was filled with the glint of blades. It must be said that the two warriors from the Qingwang Mansion were extremely powerful. With their combined strength, Chen Dao was forced to dodge left and right, and was completely powerless to fight back.

only……

The two warriors from the Green King's Mansion showed no joy on their faces. Although they seemed to be forcing Chen Dao to retreat repeatedly, they were actually unable to harm him at all.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for them. Of the eight warriors from the Qingwang Mansion, three have already died, one is entangled with Chen Cheng and seems to be losing, and two others are seriously injured. Only the two of them still have full combat strength. If they cannot defeat Chen Dao...

Then they face only one path: death.

"This can't go on like this!"

The Qingwangfu warrior named Zhang Li hardened his heart, continued to use his right hand to suppress Chen Dao with his knife, and pressed his left hand hard against his heart.

"Explosive blood!"

Boom!

Zhang Li's heart skipped a beat, making a clear, audible sound. Immediately afterward, Zhang Li's face turned visibly red, and the veins all over his body bulged out of his skin, giving people a sense of blood surging.

With the boost from the burst of blood, Zhang Li's skin turned red, granting him even greater power. His blade moved faster, making it more difficult for Chen Dao to dodge.

"Blood burst?"

Chen Dao looked at Zhang Li, whose skin was red all over, moved his feet, quickly got out of Zhang Li's attack range, and appeared next to another Qingwangfu warrior.

"Ske, be careful."

Zhang Li shouted a timely reminder.

However, Chen Dao was not about to give Shi Ke a chance to react.

The moment Chen Dao appeared beside Shi Ke, he transformed his fist into a palm, his palm becoming a blur as he slammed it hard onto Shi Ke's body.

"puff!"

A mouthful of thick blood spurted from Shi Ke's mouth, and an invisible force churned his internal organs, instantly rendering him unable to fight.

Meanwhile, Zhang Li, who arrived late, was furious and swung several swords in succession, forcing Chen Dao to retreat and dodge repeatedly.

Unfortunately……

Even with the Blood Explosion technique that greatly enhanced his strength, there was still a significant gap between him and Chen Dao, who was at the peak of the fifth rank. Although his blade was fast, Chen Dao was even faster. Even when he used all his strength, he could not harm Chen Dao in the slightest.

"Hoohoo!"

Soon, under the intense strain of the blood explosion, Zhang Li began to pant heavily, his breathing sounding like a bellows.

At this moment, Zhang Li finally realized that his side was doomed to defeat.

"boom!"

Taking advantage of Zhang Li's momentary weakness, Chen Dao seized the opportunity and slapped Zhang Li on the forehead.

A sixth-rank martial artist's head is very hard. Even Chen Dao's palm strike, which was not delivered with full force, could not destroy his skull. However, the invisible force had already rushed into Zhang Li's head, damaging his brain.

"Uh!"

Zhang Li lost consciousness and stared fixedly at Chen Dao, her eyes filled with hatred.

Chen Dao didn't even glance at Zhang Li, and moved quickly, killing Shi Ke and the other three seriously injured warriors from the Qingwang Mansion one after another.

Meanwhile, on another battlefield, Chen Cheng finally killed Huang Han with even greater strength. Thus, all eight warriors of the Qingwang Mansion were dead, leaving only Huang Ting, who looked like a scholar.

Looking at the courtyard strewn with corpses, Huang Ting's eyes were filled with despair. Eight sixth-rank martial artists, a full eight sixth-rank martial artists. Not to mention in Taiping County, even in Taicang County, they would be enough to sweep through the entire city.

However... they all died in this small Chenjia Village, a result that Huang Ting found hard to accept.

Of course, what he found even harder to accept was that he was about to die!

As the chief secretary of the Qingwang Mansion, Huang Ting never imagined that he would die a violent death, because in the entire Qingzhou, no one had ever dared to provoke the Qingwang Mansion, let alone kill anyone from it.

However, it is clear that Chenjia Village, or rather, Chendao in front of us, does not belong to this category.

Looking at Chen Dao slowly walking towards him, Huang Ting's eyes flashed with humiliation. After struggling for a moment, he bent his knees and knelt directly on the ground.

"Spare my life, and I will absolutely not tell anyone about this."

Huang Ting kowtowed repeatedly, pleading incessantly.

Even ants cherish their lives, let alone humans?

As the chief secretary of the Qingwang Mansion, Huang Ting enjoyed all the riches and honors, and had a beautiful wife and concubines at home, as well as inexhaustible wealth. How could he bear to die?

Looking at Huang Ting kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, a hint of mockery flashed in Chen Dao's eyes. Facts proved that everyone is equal in the face of death. Even Huang Ting, the high-ranking and powerful chief secretary of the Qingwang Mansion, did not perform much better than ordinary people when facing death.

In Chen Dao's view, Huang Ting was not even as good as Zhang He and his fellow former refugees. At least Zhang He and his group had the courage to risk their lives and pull the emperor off his horse.

In contrast, Huang Ting could only kneel down and beg for mercy before him.

"Kill him!"

Chen Dao ignored Huang Ting's pleas for mercy and spoke directly to Chen Cheng.

Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng picked up a knife and stepped towards Huang Ting.

"No!"

Huang Ting looked terrified and got up to run away.

But how could he escape without martial arts skills?

Soon, Chen Cheng caught up with Huang Ting and beheaded him with a single blow.

"Chen Dao, even if I become a vengeful ghost, I will not let you go, and the Qing Prince's Mansion will never forgive you!!!"

Even in his final moments, Huang Ting did not forget to utter a threatening sound.

Chen Dao, however, did not react at all. The moment he decided to kill Huang Ting and the others, Chen Dao had already prepared to be hostile to the Qingwang Mansion, so he naturally did not care about Huang Ting's threat.

"Uncle."

Chen Dao called Chen Da into the courtyard and instructed, "Have the soldiers clean up these corpses."

"Yes!"

Chen Da accepted the order and led dozens of Chen family soldiers to begin cleaning up the corpses and bloodstains in the courtyard.

Meanwhile, outside Chen Dao's courtyard, Xu Zhiwen, who had rushed over, stared dumbfounded at the corpse being carried out of the courtyard, his heart pounding with shock!

Xu Zhiwen was a smart man, so when he met Huang Ting yesterday, he realized that Huang Ting was definitely not there to discuss increasing the grain tax.

It's a very simple principle. The matter of increasing taxes only requires sending a messenger; there's no need for Huang Ting, the esteemed Chief Secretary of the Prince of Qing's residence, to personally inform him.

Based on this, Xu Zhiwen could deduce that Huang Ting must have had other purposes for coming to Taiping County.

Looking across the entire Taiping County, the only things that could attract the attention of someone like Huang Ting were the exotic breeds of chicken, such as the Blood Feather Chicken and the Crimson Blood Chicken.

After making this judgment, Xu Zhiwen rushed to Chenjia Village, hoping to see Chen Dao before Huang Ting arrived and inform him of the matter.

To Xu Zhiwen's surprise, even though he set off in a hurry, he was still a step too late for Huang Ting.

What Xu Zhiwen didn't expect was... what he saw when he rushed over!
