Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 642 Unintentionally Saving the Constable While Climbing the Mountain

Upon hearing the sound, Wang Da looked ahead.

Hu San was staring at him coldly, a disdainful smile in his eyes.

Then, he looked at Hu San, and the next moment, he opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"Can someone tell me why this Hu San is a seventh-rank master? Wasn't he supposed to be a sixth-rank master?"

"Captain, he was always a sixth-rank official when he came to the city a few years ago. Could he have broken through to a higher rank recently?"

"Damn it, you don't even need to tell me, he definitely broke through!"

Wang Da was starting to regret his actions; why had he come here to suppress bandits in the first place?

But now he says he's in a bind; if he fights, he doesn't have a complete chance of winning.

But if he didn't fight, this would be his first bandit suppression operation since taking office, and he couldn't miss such a prestigious opportunity.

But just as he was wondering, the gate of the stronghold was suddenly opened.

A group of people charged towards them, shouting battle cries.

"Brothers, they're not that strong. Let's take them down, and we'll be kings of this area!"

Amidst Hu San's shouts of killing.

The bandits, all arrogant and overbearing, made contact with the government troops.

Wang Da's deputies quickly identified their targets and launched their attacks.

Hu San, wielding a broadsword, aimed a blow at Wang Da's forehead.

Caught off guard, Wang Da immediately raised his knife to defend himself.

The moment the two blades clashed, the difference in skill was immediately apparent; Wang Da's hands were numbed by the impact.

His figure also retreated backward rapidly.

"You bandit, how dare you provoke the government in public? Aren't you afraid of being wanted by the authorities?"

Realizing he couldn't fight them head-on, Wang Da immediately shouted at Hu San.

It seems they were thinking of making him wary, and then finding an opportunity to kill him.

But who is Hu San? He's a bandit leader. He used to follow Constable Zhang and was doing very well.

Now that Officer Zhang has been arrested, I'll have to fight for my own future.

Besides, what's the big deal about killing a constable? We can just move to another mountain and do it again.

"Hahaha, kid, scared now? Trying to scare your grandpa with the government? I'll kill you first."

Having said that, he swung his sword and launched another fierce attack.

Meanwhile, the other deputies were also struggling.

One of the henchmen had his hand chopped off by the bandit leader's second-in-command when he wasn't paying attention.

Immediately afterwards, the second-in-command seized the opportunity to pounce forward and, catching his deputy off guard, chopped off his head with a single stroke.

After the second-in-command killed a master, the battle situation immediately tilted in Hu San's favor.

At this moment, Wang Da could only fight back with all his might to avoid injury and then take the opportunity to escape.

"Kid, you've only just taken office and you're already thinking about suppressing bandits. If you're going to suppress bandits, at least choose a weak one. Why do you have to come here to suppress bandits?"

"Aren't you courting death? You'll die here today."

After saying that, Hu San's attack became even fiercer. He deflected Wang Da's sword with a single stroke and then kicked him away.

He continued his attack without slowing down, lunging forward and slashing at Wang Da, who was rolling on the ground.

With nowhere to hide, Wang Da could only close his eyes and shout, "My life is over!"

But after waiting for a long time, the cold knife still didn't fall.

So he opened his eyes and saw a young man looking at Hu San with a smile on his face.

"Are you the boss here? Is he your leader?"

Chu Chen looked at Hu San in front of him without saying a word, then turned to look at the other three.

"Sir, yes, he is our boss, Hu San!"

"Oh, Hu San, that's a rather casual name."

After saying that, Chu Chen looked at Wang Da, who was rolling on the ground: "Are you a government official?"

Wang Da immediately stood up as if he had seen a lifeline.

Then, he clasped his hands in a fist and said to Chu Chen, "Wang Da, the constable of Tongluo County in the western district of the imperial city, thanks you for saving my life, young master!"

Tongluo County and the West District—this was the first time Chu Chen had heard of an administrative division that sounded somewhat like modern society since he came to this world.

He couldn't help but cup his hands in greeting to Wang Da: "Officer Wang, you're too kind. Are you here to suppress bandits?"

"That's right, but I underestimated this fellow's strength, so please forgive my rudeness, young master!"

Just then, Hu San's voice came: "Who are you? Where did you come from? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"

"Uh, don't say anything yet. We'll kill you later. Tell your men to stop!"

After saying that, Chu Chen took out his Kronoq and fired several shots from his sleeve. Instantly, several of Hu San's men fell to the ground.

Seeing Chu Chen's forceful methods, everyone immediately stopped fighting and looked at him warily.

Chu Chen then pulled Wang Da to his side.

"My name is Chu Chen, from Niujia Village. I'm here for revenge, so leave the rest to me!"

"Kid, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have hidden weapons. You're just an ordinary person, I don't believe you can withstand all of us attacking you together."

Looking at Chu Chen, who seemed completely calm and collected, Hu San couldn't help but try to intimidate him.

"Heh, an ordinary person?"

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, but the next moment, he suddenly exuded an aura that made everyone present break out in a cold sweat.

The officers and soldiers led by Wang Da immediately knelt down.

"We greet Lord Chu, a powerful expert at the Earth Realm."

Holy crap, Earth Realm! So my strength is actually that of an Earth Realm expert.

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, and then said to them, "Get up, all of you! No need for formalities."

After saying that, he moved swiftly and arrived beside Hu San.

"My lord, I, Hu San, have no grudge against you. Why?"

"Yes, we have no grudge against each other, but you kidnapped several girls from Niujia Village, so I must kill you!"

"Ah, Niujia Village? Who the hell can tell me where Niujia Village is?!"

No sooner had Hu San finished speaking than the third leader, covered in blood, stepped forward and said...

"Boss, it's just a remote little village. We go there every year to collect grain..."

"Huh, you're still alive?" Chu Chen looked at the third leader who had stood up and immediately raised his hand at him again.

Then he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Looking at the Earth Realm expert in front of him who killed without a word, Hu San was filled with remorse.

Who would have thought that a powerful cultivator at the Earth Realm would choose to come to this remote and impoverished place instead of enjoying life in the capital?

So he quickly begged for mercy, saying, "Sir, sir, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Why didn't you say anything when we were grabbing the girl?"

"Uh, I hadn't traveled here yet back then, so what?"

Chu Chen looked at Hu San with the same eye you would a cat looking at a mouse, then answered with a smile.

Hu San was on the verge of tears. In front of a powerful expert at the Earth Realm, he didn't even have a chance to escape.

I thought to myself, "What the hell are you doing here, wandering around my territory?"

But he still harbored a fantasy: that the powerful figure before him must have taken a fancy to one of the girls.
