Chapter 22 Training Partner
"So what if you're born with superhuman strength?"
"External training is ultimately just external training."
Yu Cheng gritted his teeth.
He hates people who are exceptionally talented and come from good families the most.
Every single one I see makes me want to kill them.
In his eyes, Yang Jian had both, making him even more hateful and deserving of death.
Yu Cheng gripped his longsword, changing his attack from slashing to blocking, parrying, and striking, no longer engaging Yang Jian in a direct confrontation.
If you can't match their strength, then avoid their strength and win with your techniques.
The clash of knives and spears grew increasingly fierce, and the noise and commotion grew louder.
Neither of them could defeat the other in a short period of time.
The captain of the guards, Yang Mingche, quickly bandaged his wounds and looked at the new guards who had betrayed the Yang family not far away, holding a knife in his right hand.
While Yang Mingche was being bandaged, some people tried to cross the battlefield between Yang Jian and Yang Mingche to finish him off first, but they were all stopped by Yang Jian's spear!
Even while clashing with Yu Cheng, he still had the energy to protect Yang Mingche.
"We don't have much time left, so let's not waste any more time and attack together to take them down."
The longer the confrontation lasted, the more Yu Cheng felt something was wrong.
Because Yang Jian fought with increasing ferocity and momentum, even he, an internal martial artist, couldn't match his endurance.
Seeing that something was wrong, Yu Cheng quickly shouted.
He wasn't lying, because when Weng Jingyuan made the arrangements, he instructed them to act quickly and decisively.
However, Yu Cheng said this mainly because the deadly silver spear made him feel a fatal danger.
Yu Cheng initially felt that Yang Jian's spear technique was good, but only good. However, as the battle went on for longer, he felt that Yang Jian's spear technique was becoming more and more fierce and difficult to defend against.
Yang Jian gave him the feeling that he was rapidly improving in battle.
He was like Yang Jian's sparring partner, and the kind of sparring partner whose every move was deadly.
"kill!"
Upon hearing this, the person behind Yu Cheng had a strange expression.
Without saying much, he charged towards Yang Jian with his weapons.
That was their original plan, except that their target was everyone in the Yang residence.
"Young Master, be careful."
Yang Mingche immediately went to Yang Jian's aid.
"Good timing."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian advanced instead of retreating.
When he clashed with Yu Cheng, he not only learned his true combat strength, but also improved his "Point Star Spear" with Yu Cheng's help.
Although the panel hadn't shown the next level yet, he could vaguely sense that he was only a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the next level!
This feeling is very subtle.
Yang Jian chose to trust his own intuition.
With a jolt, Yang Jian swept his spear, sending the two who had charged forward the first flying.
Yu Cheng seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but Yang Jian dodged it by sidestepping and simultaneously delivered a counterattack.
"Bang!"
Yu Cheng was unable to defend in time, and his left arm was pierced by a spear.
Yang Jian flicked his spear upwards, and Yu Cheng's agonizing scream rang out.
Blood splattered, and an arm flew into the sky.
"puff!"
Seeing this opportunity, Yang Mingche lunged forward and plunged a knife into Yu Cheng's body.
He then delivered several more blows.
Yu Cheng coughed up blood and fell to the ground with his eyes wide open in death.
Yang Jian twirled his spear and pierced the heart of the man who was trying to ambush him from behind.
In an instant, two of the new guards who had betrayed the Yang family died, and several others were injured.
Upon seeing this, the others turned and fled.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Yang Jian took out the revolver from his waist and emptied the revolver's cylinder.
The few who had not yet escaped all lay on the ground, their fates unknown.
Yang Jian originally didn't want to use the revolver, but these people turned and ran, so he had no choice.
"Brother Che, how are you? How is the rest of the house?"
As Yang Jian asked the question, he quickly loaded bullets into his revolver.
He had just come out of the west wing when he saw Yang Mingche being surrounded and killed. After listening to a few words, he understood the gist of the situation.
"Thank you for your concern, Second Young Master. I'm fine."
"The situation in other parts of the manor should be better than here."
"These traitors are all newly recruited guards. Most of them are assigned to this courtyard, not many to other places, and none to the backyard."
Yang Mingche was taken aback for a moment when he heard Yang Jian address him as "Brother Che," and then quickly replied.
Previously, Yang Jian would call him by his name directly. Now, looking at Yang Jian's appearance, it is indeed as those who had trained with Yang Jian had said: after falling into the water, Yang Jian's personality changed a lot.
"That's alright."
"Brother Che, come with me first to see how the rest of the body is, and then we'll find someone to treat your arm."
Yang Jian nodded slightly upon hearing this.
If what Yang Mingche said is true, then the situation in the manor has not yet reached its worst point.
"Yes, Second Young Master, just give the order."
"The wound on my arm doesn't have much of an impact."
Yang Mingche quickly agreed.
He didn't bandage for long, but his technique was very professional and the hemostasis was effective.
Until a doctor can help treat you, keeping this bandage is enough!
The chaos within the Yang family mansion was far from over. As the captain of the guards in the courtyard, Yang Mingche had to do his best to protect the Yang family.
The other courtyards might also need his support.
"Any news from my fifth uncle?"
Yang Jian walked ahead, asking questions as he went.
His fifth uncle, Yang Changhui, is the chief inspector of the Inspectorate, a man who holds the truth in his hands. If we can find him, the chaos in the mansion can definitely be resolved more quickly.
"Fifth Master went to the police station this morning and hasn't come back yet. I haven't received any news from him either."
Yang Mingche replied.
He was just one of the guard captains in the entire Yang family mansion, not the chief captain, and his knowledge was limited.
The reason Yang Mingche was able to stay in the courtyard where County Magistrate Yang Changhong lived was not only because of his strength, but also because he was surnamed Yang, as he was a member of the Yang family.
The two first walked around the courtyard to check if there were any survivors, and at the same time gathered the remaining people in the mansion.
With Yang Jian stepping forward, the servants who had previously been hiding in fear also stepped forward and joined the group.
On the way, Yang Jian also found Steward Zhao and learned about the situation in the backyard.
Those thugs tried to break into the backyard, but they were dealt with before they even got inside!
......
"This is the Yang family's residence."
"The gate upstairs is open, everyone rush in."
"The Yang family has many good things; we'll take them all."
A group of people carrying weapons approached the gate of the Yang family.
At the very front of this group was a plump young man dressed in brocade robes, exuding an air of wealth.
If Yang Jian were here, he would recognize this person at a glance.
Zhao Chenguang, the eldest son of the Zhao family.
At this moment, Zhao Chenguang was directing these people to rush into the Yang family's house, a look of excitement flashing in his eyes.
Zhao Chenguang seemed to see the largest aristocratic family in Yongkang County about to be completely destroyed in his hands!
The woman with the red talisman wasn't lying to him; the once-glorious Yang family would surely disappear in his hands.
Previously, his good-for-nothing father could only swallow his anger in front of the Yang family. Even if he did something against the Yang family, he had to do it secretly and cautiously.
They made all sorts of roundabout arrangements, never daring to reveal their true identities.
Zhao Chenguang was constantly reminded and instructed to do things for him, which made him very unhappy.
He has to kill secretly, which is very unlike his personality.
Yang Jian, the second son of the Yang family, was still forced by his father to bow down to him. Zhao Chenguang, on the other hand, was the eldest son of the Zhao family and the heir to the family. He could only bow down and act like a servant in front of Yang Jian, who would pat him on the shoulder and call him "little brother."
He felt that his old man had gone senile, otherwise such a thing would not have happened.
