In the face of the dense arrow rain attack, Wang Xu's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly waved the sharp long knife in his hand to knock the crossbow arrows away.

Wang Xu is worthy of being a first-class martial artist, the internal force in his body is extremely strong, and the sharp long knife in his hand, under the blessing of internal force, is extremely sharp, and he can easily knock the crossbow arrows away, making it impossible to cause damage to them.

However, the number of crossbow arrows was too large and extremely dense, although Wang Xu blocked most of the crossbow arrow attacks, but there were still a small number of crossbow arrows that passed through the sharp long knife in his hand, pierced through its defenses, and pierced into its body, causing it to let out a muffled snort, and streams of red blood flowed out of it.

At this moment, under the cover of the dense rain of arrows, Yang Rui quickly crossed a distance of more than ten meters, approached Wang Xu's side, and the short stick in his hand, under the wave of terrifying power, smashed it fiercely on Wang Xu's head, looking like he wanted to smash Wang Xu's head.

Feeling the terrifying power contained in the short stick, Wang Xu's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly raised his arm to block in front of him.

Click!

With a crisp sound, Wang Xu's arm was broken by a short stick, and he was thrown backwards and fell to the ground fiercely.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Rui's figure flickered, and he quickly caught up with Wang Xu, and the short stick in his hand, with terrifying power, hit Wang Xu's body fiercely, directly breaking Wang Xu's sternum and limbs, making him lose his combat effectiveness.

"Young master, are you okay?"

Yang Hai quickly walked up to Yang Rui and asked with a look of concern on his face.

"Haibo, I'm fine!What about the casualties in our Yang Mansion?" Yang Rui glanced at the Yang family guard who was lying on the ground.

"Young Master, six of our Yang Mansion's guards were killed and twenty-six were injured, twelve of them were seriously injured, and after the injuries were healed, they would also become wasters!" Yang Hai replied with a sad look on his face.

"The dead guards will be given double pensions, and their relatives will be taken care of by our Yang family! The injured guards will be rewarded with ten gold coins each, please treat the best doctor and use the best medicinal herbs!

As for those who are seriously injured, each person will be rewarded with an additional fifty gold coins, and after the injuries are healed, our Yang family will be responsible for settling them down, so that they can have no worries about food and clothing!" Yang Rui commanded softly.

"Yes, young master!" Yang Hai nodded.

"I'll leave this thief to you, I want to know all his information!"

After arranging the matter of the guards, Yang Rui set his eyes on Wang Xu on the ground, and said in a cold tone.

"Young Master, just rest assured, I promise to let him tell everything he knows!" Yang Hai replied with a sinister face.

After getting Yang Hai's affirmative answer, Yang Rui nodded, returned to his bedroom, and handed over the follow-up matters to Yang Hai to deal with.

In the early morning of the second day, Yang Hai, who was full of tiredness, came to Yang Rui's study and reported: "Young master, that thief last night was Wang Xu, the leader of the Black Mountain Thieves Group, and the reason why he came to assassinate you was because you destroyed the Black Mountain Thieves Group in Black Rock Mountain.

Also, the reason why the Black Mountain Thieves captured the Blackstone Mine was because they were bribed by Sun Yuqi, the head of the Sun family in Wood Town, to lure you out and kill you in the Blackstone Mine.

At the same time, before Wang Xu came to assassinate you, he met Sun Yuqi and accepted a broken treasure map from Sun Yuqi to kill you、、、、、、、"

Hearing Yang Hai's report, a fierce light flashed in Yang Rui's eyes, and he said in a cold tone: "Haibo, help me select a group of elite guards, I'm going to set foot in the Sun family in Wood Town!"

"Young Master, I have already selected a hundred elite guards to wait in the Yang Mansion Martial Arts Arena, and I can follow you to Wood Town at any time!" Yang Hai replied loudly with a sinister face.

"Very well! I'm going to Flat Wood!"

Yang Rui responded loudly, got up, and walked towards the martial arts arena.

"Get on the horse and follow me to Wood Town!"

Yang Rui came to the martial arts arena, looked at the hundred elite guards who had already been ready, shouted, and took the lead in turning over and galloping towards the outside of Yang's mansion.

Seeing Yang Rui's movements, hundreds of elite guards turned over and mounted their horses, followed closely behind Yang Rui, and rushed towards Wood Town.

Wood Town is more than 100 miles away from Black Rock Town, and it took Yang Rui and his party more than an hour to come to the gate of Wood Town.

At this time, the gates of Woodtown were wide open, and a huge white chess piece was inserted above the gate of Woodtown, and hundreds of unarmed men in coarse cloth clothes lined up neatly in two rows and looked out of the city.

After Yang Rui and his party appeared, an elite man led by him immediately held a letter in his hand, quickly greeted Yang Rui and his party, and shouted loudly: "Gao Jun, the captain of the Wood Town Guard, has seen the Yang family master, this is a letter from the Sun family master to the Yang family master!"

Hearing Gao Jun's words, Yang Rui frowned slightly, waved his big hand, and Yang An on the side immediately stepped out, took the letter in Gao Jun's hand, and turned around and handed it to Yang Rui.

Yang Rui opened the letter and read it carefully, and a complicated color flashed in his eyes.

Yang Rui didn't expect that Sun Yuqi would be so decisive, and when he found out that Wang Xu was captured, he immediately took his family and henchmen, as well as the wealth accumulated over the years, quickly left Wood Town and gave Wood Town to himself.

"Gao Jun, what did Sun Yuqi say to you before leaving?" Yang Rui put the letter in his arms and looked at Gao Jun's body.

"The Yang family master, the Sun family master, before leaving, said that the Yang family master has excellent talents and unlimited futures, let us follow you well and serve you!" Gao Jun replied without hesitation.

"Yang An, from today onwards, you are the mayor of Wood Town, responsible for managing Wood Town!"

Hearing Gao Jun's words, Yang Rui turned his gaze to Yang An on the side and said loudly.

After saying that, Yang Rui left fifty elite guards for Yang An to assist Yang An in taking over Wood Town, leaving Wood Town with other guards and returning to Black Rock Town.

After returning to Black Rock Town, Yang Rui handed over all the matters of Black Rock Town and Wood Town to Yang Hai, Yang An and others, while he concentrated on medicinal bath cultivation to improve his cultivation strength.

In this way, half a month passed in a flash, and Yang Rui successfully cultivated the Nine Turns Forging Body Technique to the eighth turn, and his strength doubled to a terrifying 12,800 kilograms, directly surpassing peerless martial artists and comparable to early innate martial artists.

After the eight turns of forging the body, Yang Rui's combat power skyrocketed, even if he was not defeated by the innate martial artist, he could compete with the peerless martial artist, even in Zhenhai City, where the masters were like clouds, he was also a top master, only below a few innate powerhouses.

"Young Master, it's time for Zhenhai City to collect taxes, I have prepared the taxes for Black Rock Town and Wood Town, and I need you to send them over in person!" Yang Hai found Yang Rui and said with a solemn face.

Zhenhai City is a city directly under the jurisdiction of the Flame Kingdom, which governs more than ten nearby towns.

As long as the towns under its jurisdiction pay taxes on time, Zhenhai City will not inquire about the affairs of the towns under its jurisdiction.

If the town under its jurisdiction does not pay taxes on time, then Zhenhai City will send a strong man to kill the owner of the town and replace the owner of the town with a new one.

Therefore, paying taxes on time is very important for a town like Black Rock, which is related to the life and death of the owner of the town, and needs to be escorted by the owner of the town himself.

"Okay, I see!" Yang Rui replied softly, a look of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

Yang Rui has been in the Flame Kingdom for nearly two months, and in addition to dealing with necessary things, he has been cultivating for the rest of the time, and it is time to go out for a walk and relax.
