Chapter 338 Bandit Suppression Operation
Chapter 338 Bandit Suppression Operation
This bandit suppression was taken very seriously by Chenjia Village, Fuhu Boxing School, and the county government.
Chenjia Village dispatched half of its guards, led by Chen Cheng.
The Fuhu Boxing Academy sent five martial artists, led by Han Meng.
The county government was not to be outdone, with Zhang He as the leader and the newly-minted martial artist, Thin Monkey, and others as his assistants.
The three groups combined numbered as many as 20 ninth-rank martial artists, including a seventh-rank martial artist like Chen Cheng.
Zhang He took out a map of Taiping County, spread it on the table, and said, "The bandits in the north have already been wiped out once. Only the bandits in the east, west, and south are still causing trouble. Among them, the forest bandits in the west are the fewest. How about Brother Han is in charge of going to wipe them out?"
"no problem."
Han Meng readily agreed. The western part of the county town was sparsely populated and the destination was the Cangmang Mountain, so the bandit problem was not serious. With the Fuhu Boxing School's lineup of one eighth-rank martial artist and four ninth-rank martial artists, wiping them out would be a piece of cake.
"I will lead the team to wipe out the bandits in the east."
After Han Meng agreed, Zhang He added, "As for the final southern part, how about letting Brother Chen Cheng handle it?"
"no problem."
Chen Cheng nodded without hesitation. This time, he brought 15 martial artists from the Chen Family Village Guard Team. Combined with his own strength as a seventh-rank martial artist, he would not be afraid of the strong bandits in the south.
"Then let's get started!"
Zhang He put away the map and gave an order; soon, everyone began to move.
After leaving the county government office, the three groups separated. Han Meng led his team from the west gate, Zhang He led his team from the east gate, and Chen Cheng led his team from the south gate, each leading a separate group to clear out the forest bandits.

"Boss, something terrible has happened!"
In a village hidden in a dense forest south of Taiping County, a man with a weasel-like face ran into the village in a panic and said to the village chief, Fan Jianqiang, "It's bad, Chief! Bandits are coming!"
"what?!"
Fan Jianqiang suddenly stood up, his eyes wide: "Who dares to be so bold as to trespass into my Qiangfeng Village?"
The so-called Qiangfeng Village was the name that Fan Jianqiang and his gang of thieves gave to their village.
"I don't know who they are either."
The weasel-faced man said in a panic, "Those bandits are extremely fierce. They kill anyone they see. All the brothers who were keeping watch outside the village have been killed."
"How brave!"
A flash of anger crossed Fan Jianqiang's eyes, and he roared, "Quickly gather the brothers in the stronghold and follow me to kill the enemy!"
Soon, the villagers gathered together, armed with wooden sticks, wooden guns and other weapons, and charged toward the village gate.
Meanwhile, Chen Cheng and his men killed all the lookouts outside the village and stormed into the village.
Looking at Chen Cheng, a burly man whose blade still bore traces of blood, Fan Jianqiang's eyes flashed with a hint of apprehension: "Who are you people?"
"The bandits' men."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Cheng took a step forward and appeared in front of Fan Jianqiang in an instant, slashing down with his sword.
So fast.
Fan Jianqiang's pupils contracted. The knife was fast and fierce. He knew he couldn't withstand it, so he retreated to avoid it.
However, Chen Cheng, having missed with his first strike, swung his sword again, aiming straight for Fan Jianqiang's head.
Fortunately, Fan Jianqiang's men finally reacted and raised their weapons to attack Chen Cheng. Left with no other choice, Chen Cheng had to put his knife away and deal with these lackeys first.
Meanwhile, Chen Cheng's men, including Chen Da, Chen Jiang, and Chen Zhong, launched an attack.
"Pfft!"
With a single swing of his blade, Chen Zhong, a ninth-rank martial artist, unleashed his immense power, instantly cleaving the thief's weapon in two. The blade then struck the thief, leaving a gruesome wound.
"what!"
The thief cried out in pain, but before he could utter a second sound, Chen Zhong slashed his neck with a backhand stroke, ending his life.
With a single slash, Chen Zhong took down a thief, his steps unwavering. Like a tiger, he charged into the crowd, reaping lives with abandon.
Meanwhile, Chen Da and the others also unleashed their full power, their blades like the sharpest harvesting machines, reaping one fresh life after another.
Fan Jianqiang was horrified as he watched his men being harvested like straw.
Even more terrifying was Chen Cheng, who relentlessly pursued him like a humanoid tyrannosaurus rex.
The moment Fan Jianqiang realized Chen Cheng's strength, he knew he couldn't defeat him and tried to escape under the cover of his men.
however……
His men were just ordinary people; how could they possibly withstand Chen Cheng?
With each swing of Chen Cheng's sword, he lost one of his men, while Fan Jianqiang's men, though numerous, were unable to harm Chen Cheng in the slightest.
In just a few breaths, the crowd blocking Chen Cheng's way was swiftly and decisively eliminated.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Cheng strode forward, caught up with the fleeing Fan Jianqiang, and slashed out with his sword.
Fan Jianqiang's pupils contracted, and he quickly raised his knife to block.
"clang!"
A tremendous force struck, causing Fan Jianqiang's tiger's mouth to split open, and the blade to break in two.
"Pfft!"
Chen Cheng's blade, undiminished in momentum, landed squarely on Fan Jianqiang's chest, slashing a large, gruesome wound.
"hero……"
Fan Jianqiang was about to beg for mercy without thinking, but Chen Cheng didn't give him the chance and slashed out with his sword.
"Pfft!"
A huge head shot into the sky. Fan Jianqiang's head flew into the air and then landed on the ground, his eyes wide open, as if he had died with his eyes open in disbelief.
"what!"
"what!"
"what!"
Screams echoed throughout the village as one bandit after another fell to the blades of the Chen Family Village guards. In less than a quarter of an hour, dozens of bandits had been wiped out by the guards.
"These thieves are really weak."
Chen Jiang kicked the corpse of a thief at his feet and said, "I can't believe I used to be afraid of them."
The villagers of Chenjia Village used to be terrified of these thieves, but now...
They no longer felt any fear towards these thieves. These thieves were all sallow-faced and emaciated, weak and feeble, not even as strong as the men who farmed in Chenjia Village, let alone the guards who were already martial artists.
“Brother Jiang, you’re a martial artist now, of course you’re not afraid of these thieves.”
Chen Zhong said with a smile, "For an ordinary person, it would be very dangerous to face these thieves, after all, they outnumber them and have weapons."
"Too."
Chen Jiang nodded. Ordinary people are not good at fighting, so they naturally fear these desperate bandits. He used to be the same way.
However... since joining the Chen Family Village Guard Team, Chen Jiang is no longer the timid boy he once was.
"All right."
Chen Cheng walked over, not even glancing at the corpses on the ground, and directly ordered, "Search the village and see if there's anything valuable."
"Yes."
