Chapter 95 Reinforcement
Chapter 95 Reinforcement
"Jinwu!" Zhu Shenzhui shouted, and Wang Jinwu immediately understood and waved his knife to block the attack for Zhu Shenzhui.
Zhu Shencui hurriedly took two steps back, taking the opportunity to quickly pull out a musket from his arms and light the fuse. Just as he finished doing this, a member of the Wenxiang sect broke through the defense and rushed towards him with a knife. Zhu Shencui did not hesitate at all, raised his gun and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and a cloud of gunpowder rose up. A ball of dirty blood instantly splattered on the chest of the Scent-Smelling Cultist. The body that had just pounced forward seemed to be frozen in place as if by a spell. He lowered his head and looked at his chest in a daze, then looked at Zhu Shenzui who was holding a musket. The light in his eyes dimmed, and then he fell to the ground without a word.
After firing a shot, Zhu Shenzui had no time to reload, so he smashed the musket in his hand directly at another Wen Xiang cultist who was rushing towards him. At the same time, he took a step forward, and the tip of the gun in his hand pierced a transparent hole in the opponent's body.
"Hold on tightly! Be careful!" Zhu Shenzhui shouted after killing another person.
The shock of the previous shot slowed down the attack of the Wen Xiang believers. Zhu Shenzui and others took this opportunity to form a formation and actually suppressed the opponent's crazy attack.
However, everyone knew that the other side had more people and more power, and they would not be able to resist if they continued like this. The only way to turn the situation around was to hope that the brothers from Wangjia Village and Yangtou Mountain would arrive quickly.
Zhu Shenzhui fired that shot just now not because his musket was effective. In this kind of close combat, muskets would not be of much use. He wanted to use this method to send a message to his own people. After the shot was fired, if nothing unexpected happened, Zhou Anmin would be able to hear it and immediately understand that they had started fighting.
"Kill! Kill them all!"
After a few rounds, the Wen Xiang Sect recovered and gradually gained the upper hand. These Wen Xiang followers were really difficult to deal with. Although each of them was far inferior to Zhu Shenzui and his companions in skills, they had more people after all, and they were also fearless and ruthless. As Zhu Shenzui fought back, the advantage he had just gained was suppressed by the Wen Xiang followers. It was particularly difficult for him to resist and he could only retreat step by step.
The main house is not very big, and there is not much room for expansion even if you move back further.
As more and more followers of the Scent of Fragrance sect came into the house, the space left for Zhu Shenzui and others to move became smaller and smaller.
Several people suffered more injuries, and even Zhu Shenzhui himself had a bruise on his shoulder. He gritted his teeth and persevered, but he was extremely anxious in his heart. Why hadn't the reinforcements arrived yet?
At this moment, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing coming from outside, and Zhu Shenzhui was immediately cheered up.
"Brothers! Help is coming!"
The arrival of reinforcements boosted the morale of Zhu Shenzui and others. For a moment, they ignored their injuries and fought back with all their might.
On the other hand, the members of the Wenxiang Sect fought with enthusiasm and courage, but they were never able to capture Zhu Shenzhui and others, and they also lost several lives at their hands. Now, the shouts and screams from outside were getting closer and closer, which made the Wenxiang Sect members feel a little panicked. As a result, the anger in their hearts was immediately lost, and the strength to swing the knife in their hands was also weakened.
"Sixth Master! We are here!" As Xia Dong's voice came from outside, Zhu Shenzui and others were even more delighted. They immediately counterattacked the Wen Xiang believers with great momentum.
After a few exchanges of blows, the Wen Xiang believers who were attacked from both sides no longer had the ferocity they had just now. As several of them began to flee in panic, the situation instantly reversed.
Zhu Shenzhui, along with Li Hu, Wang Jinwu and others, took the opportunity to hack and kill several believers, and finally rushed out of the main house together.
"Sixth Master!"
"Little brother!"
When they arrived at the courtyard, they saw Xia Dong and Zhou Anmin rushing in from outside. Several Wenxiang believers who had no time to dodge were chopped down by them like cutting vegetables and melons. They were all shocked to see Zhu Shenzhui and others were injured, with blood all over their faces and bodies.
"We're fine!" Zhu Shenzhui shouted back, but he didn't stop moving, and continued to kill the fleeing Wenxiang believers: "These are all Jiang Shuishan's confidants, kill them! Don't let any of them go!"
"Brothers, follow me and kill!" Xia Dong was relieved when he saw that Zhu Shencui was fine. He shouted and started to chase and kill these Wen Xiang followers with his men. Even Zhou Anmin was not idle. He flew the steel knife in his hand up and down, and knocked down one person in two rounds.
"Brother, are you okay?" Zhou Anmin rushed to Zhu Shenzhui and asked anxiously as he looked at him covered in blood.
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious." Zhu Shenzhui panted. Although the fight just now lasted only a quarter of an hour, it consumed Zhu Shenzhui's strength. Now that his own people have arrived and the situation has been controlled, Zhu Shenzhui relaxed and felt a little weak and his breathing was a little disordered.
"Why did they suddenly start the attack? Fortunately we heard the gunshots, otherwise we would have almost failed to arrive in time." Zhou Anmin complained.
Zhu Shenzhui smiled bitterly. He didn't expect it to turn out like this.
Wang Jinwu had originally let himself act according to circumstances, but he had not expected this guy to suddenly take action. Just take action, and if Jiang Shuishan is captured, then everything will be settled. But no one expected that Jiang Shuishan would disregard his own life and death and actually order his men to kill them all. This move was completely beyond Zhu Shenzhui's expectations, and caught him off guard.
What's more terrible is that Zhu Shenzhui really underestimated the fanaticism of the Wenxiang Sect. Jiang Shuishan's followers were so desperate that even though Zhu Shenzhui and his team were very skilled, they almost capsized in this situation. After a brief explanation of the situation, Zhou Anmin finally understood what happened. He hurriedly asked where Jiang Shuishan was. Zhu Shenzhui pointed to the main house and said that Jiang Shuishan was in the house, but he didn't know whether Jiang Shuishan was alive or dead.
Zhou Anmin led his men into the main house without saying a word. When he saw the main house, he gasped.
The entire main house was in a mess, with blood flowing on the ground and many people lying in all directions. Needless to say, these people were all killed by Zhu Shenzui and his men. Some had already died, some were still groaning in pain, and one was struggling to survive. Zhou Anmin's face sank, and he ignored all this and started looking for Jiang Shuishan among them.
After a while, he found Jiang Shuishan lying on the ground motionless. There were several holes in his waist with blood bubbles coming out of the holes, and there was a large pool of blood under his body.
Turning over and taking a closer look, he saw that Jiang Shuishan's eyes were wide open and his face was pale, he had already died. Seeing this, Zhou Anmin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Without saying a word, he picked up his knife and chopped off Jiang Shuishan's head. He picked up the head in one hand and quickly returned to the yard.
In the yard, the battle was almost over. As Zhu Shenzui's men arrived one after another, Jiang Shuishan's believers completely lost the determination to resist. They were either hacked to death or captured while fleeing. Only a few of them climbed over the wall and escaped from the house, but Xia Dong had already led his men to chase them.
"Brother, Jiang Shuishan has surrendered, but the matter of Zhaowu Village has not been settled yet. You guys can rest here for a while. I will take the people there later."
His eyes swept towards the head in Zhou Anmin's hand, and Zhu Shenzhui nodded and agreed immediately. Of course he trusted Zhou Anmin to do the job.
What Zhou Anmin said was right. Although Jiang Shuishan died, few of his close followers survived. But don't forget that Jiang Shuishan still had other followers. Not to mention the people in Zhaowuling, there were also villagers from Zhaowu Village. If these problems were not resolved, this matter would not be over.
Zhou Anmin left a few people to take care of the injured Zhu Shencui and others, and took the others to leave with Jiang Shuishan's head. After Zhou Anmin left, Zhu Shencui and others were exhausted, sitting in the yard gasping for breath, and couldn't help feeling a little scared.
Although Zhu Shenzhui and his companions were all injured, except for Wang Gui who was more seriously injured, the others were only injured superficially. After bandaging and stretching their muscles, they found that none of the injuries were serious and that they would be healed in a few days.
"Sixth Master!"
"What's the matter?"
"There are still a few survivors over there. What do you think we should do with them?" someone asked Zhu Shenzhui.
Zhu Shencui had a gloomy face and said nothing. He just raised his hand and made a cutting motion. The man didn't say anything after seeing it, and immediately led his men over. After a while, several low and shrill screams were heard. Needless to say, these survivors, with the help of Zhu Shencui, went to meet Jiang Shuishan who had gone ahead.
These people cannot be kept, not because Zhu Shenzhu is cruel, but because there is no use in keeping them.
These were all Jiang Shuishan's trusted followers, all brainwashed members of the Wenxiang sect. Zhu Shencui had personally witnessed their fearless behavior just now, so why keep such people around? Could it be that he was waiting to spare their lives so that he could seek revenge on Zhu Shencui later?
If it were an ordinary citizen, Zhu Shencui might have considered it, but for such a fanatic, Zhu Shencui had no intention at all. Solving it earlier and reincarnating earlier would be a good deed. Didn't the Wenxiang Sect say that Maitreya was reincarnated and went to paradise? Wouldn't it be better to send them to paradise to enjoy happiness earlier?
"Sixth Master, the wing room over there..." After dealing with these people, he reported to Zhu Shencui again after a while. After hearing this, Zhu Shencui immediately remembered the faint woman's crying sound he heard when he entered the yard just now.
After regaining some strength, he stood up and asked someone to lead the way to see what was going on.
When they arrived at the side room, there were two brothers guarding the door. When they saw Zhu Shenzhu coming, they hurriedly saluted.
Zhu Shenzhui waved his hand and asked them to open the door, then walked in. As soon as Zhu Shenzhui entered the room, he heard several women's screams.
The wing room is not big, with a curtain hanging behind the door, and behind the curtain is the sleeping area.
There was a large kang at the innermost part. Zhu Shenzhui lifted the curtain and peeked inside. He saw five young women huddled together in the corner of the kang and shivering.
These women had disheveled hair and looked as frightened as frightened deer. They tightly grasped a torn quilt to cover themselves, but because there were so many people, a single quilt could not cover everyone. Zhu Shenzhui took a quick glance and clearly saw the shocking white skin of several people exposed.
The women were all relatively young. Two of the younger ones looked to be in their twenties, while the older ones looked to be in their early twenties.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Shenzhui's heart sank suddenly. He didn't go any further inside. He gently lowered the curtain, turned around and walked out.
