Chapter 68

When Jiang Shan and his team made their arrangements, they thought it was a good plan to use the elite soldiers trained in military law to surround and capture Li Wenjun. Even if Li Wenjun's martial arts were superb, he would still find it hard to escape the net of the law. However, they did not expect Li Wenjun to be so alert and his lightness skills to be so advanced. He preemptively struck down a soldier disguised as a constable.

These soldiers usually ate, lived, and trained together, and they were as close as brothers. Suddenly, the loss of a brother made their eyes turn red. They all roared in unison, turned around, and prepared to surround Li Wenjun again.

Li Wenjun did not want to tangle with these soldiers excessively. He wanted to cut through the chaos quickly and solve the problem as soon as possible. Instead of fighting, he would rather spend the time practicing more.

Li Wenjun, like a fierce tiger charging into a flock of sheep, leaped forward and rushed into the midst of the soldiers. He combined his lightness skills and agility, skillfully escaping every time the soldiers were about to surround him.

The soldiers could not even touch him, and instead, they suffered greatly. Every time Li Wenjun struck, he would knock down a soldier. The soldiers who fell to the ground, even if they were not dead, were severely injured and lost the ability to continue fighting.

In a short time, the second hall turned into a hell on earth, with the smell of blood permeating the air. The ground was littered with people soaked in blood, dead or injured, a scene too gruesome to bear.

Wu Qi was both afraid and angry. He never imagined that Li Wenjun would be so fierce, killing officials as easily as slaughtering pigs and dogs. Even Wang Yonggui, who was unreasonable, would run and hide when the officials sent people to raid him. He would never confront them head-on like Li Wenjun, who not only fought back but also had the upper hand.

Is this even a human? A demon in the world could not be more ruthless, Wu Qi thought to himself.

Li Wenjun, like slicing through melons and vegetables, quickly cut down all the "constables" who surrounded him. He faced Wu Qi, raised the dragon-headed feathered saber still dripping with blood, and angrily shouted, "Corrupt official, as the magistrate of Sanshan County, you have the responsibility to protect the people. I killed Wang Yonggui to let you benefit and enjoy the results. I never expected you to have such a wolf's heart and dog's lungs, willing to kill me for a mere thousand taels of silver. You truly deserve to die."

The night wind blew, and the pungent smell of blood enveloped Wu Qi. The magistrate of Sanshan County could not help but shiver. He forced himself to say, "My esteemed disciple, you have really misunderstood me. I absolutely had no intention of harming you. I just wanted to verify the details with you, nothing more."

"Corrupt official, no matter how sweet your words are, I will not believe you anymore. Today, I will take your life," Li Wenjun said coldly.

At that moment, with a loud crash, the floor collapsed, and Li Wenjun suddenly felt his feet become light, falling involuntarily.

Wu Qi laughed triumphantly and said, "Li Wenjun, no matter how great your abilities are, what can you do when you fall into the trap? You will either die or be severely injured."

This trap was personally designed by Jiang Shan. Wu Qi and his men spent several days digging it. After setting up all the mechanisms, they invited Li Wenjun. The moment Li Wenjun entered the county office, all the mechanisms were activated, waiting for him to fall into the trap.

The trap was about ten feet deep, with smooth steel walls and a steel floor. The steel floor was also studded with steel spikes. Falling on it would feel like being pierced by a thousand swords, with the only difference being the number of holes in your body.

In the instant Li Wenjun fell, he swung his dragon-headed feathered saber to the side. The saber barely grazed the steel plate, but that was enough. Li Wenjun used the force to activate his lightness skills and leaped out of the trap.

Wu Qi, like a duck whose neck was grabbed, had his laughter stuck in his throat. He stared in shock at Li Wenjun, who had flown out.

"Corrupt official, I will settle accounts with you later," Li Wenjun said as he quickly rushed out of the second hall. He did not know if there were other traps in the second hall. Continuing to fight Wu Qi here would put him at a disadvantage. He needed to leave the second hall and go outside to neutralize Wu Qi's advantages, where he could fully display his abilities.

However, before Li Wenjun could rush out of the second hall, he heard someone outside shout, "Fire the arrows."

Immediately, the sounds of crossbows and bows intertwined, and dozens of arrows whistled through the air, like a heavy rain, shooting towards Li Wenjun.

Crossbow arrows were also a formidable weapon that could threaten Li Wenjun. Unless he used the Impervious Diamond Technique, these arrows could harm him. However, he did not have the time to activate it, and even if he did, he would not use it unless absolutely necessary.

The reason was simple: once he used the Impervious Diamond Technique, he could only passively defend. When his magical power was exhausted, the roles would reverse, and he would be the one at a disadvantage.

Seeing so many arrows rapidly approaching, Li Wenjun did not dare to take them lightly. He quickly swung his dragon-headed feathered saber to form a shield, blocking all the arrows.

However, before he could catch his breath, the second and third waves of arrows followed. Li Wenjun tried to block them all, but human strength has its limits. Li Wenjun was not a true immortal, just a very low-level cultivator. This time, he only managed to block most of the arrows, and a few slipped past his defense. Unfortunately, one of them hit his left shoulder.

In pain, Li Wenjun cried out. Seeing that he could not break through the entrance of the second hall and that more arrows would come, he had to find another way. He turned around and flew back into the second hall.

With a whoosh, a strong wind suddenly blew.

Li Wenjun looked up and saw a large iron cage descending from the sky, blocking all his escape routes. He thought it was bad and tried to speed up, but from the corner, several arrows with tricky angles suddenly flew out, forcing him to retreat and preventing him from moving forward.

With a loud thud, the iron cage landed heavily on the ground, trapping Li Wenjun inside.

The iron cage was quite large, about six to seven feet long and wide. The bars were made of fine steel, each as thick as an adult's arm. Like the trap, this iron cage was also designed by Jiang Shan. To build this iron cage, all the fine steel reserves of the Sanshan County office and the hundred-household office were used up.
