4: Dragon Horn Bow, Black Tiger Gang

The Great Lan Dynasty itself revered martial arts.

Coupled with years of warfare and a surge in demonic threats, the Great Lan Dynasty faced a severe shortage of combat power.

A rule had long been established: if a male family member died, the surviving brothers were responsible for caring for the female dependents at home.

This was even protected by the laws of the Great Lan Dynasty.

This is also why, when Xiao Chen was fine, Jiang Dahu did not dare to use force.

If he acted recklessly, even if Xiao Chen shot him dead directly, the laws of the Great Lan Dynasty would side with Xiao Chen.

Of course, although Xiao Chen and Cheng Yurou often had minor disagreements, they always restrained themselves, respecting their identities, and never crossed the final line.

Previously, Xiao Chen was wary of Jiang Dahu's status; after all, Jiang Dahu's father was the village chief, and he was also very strong, rumored to be a Martial Artist.

But now, things were different.

Having obtained the martial arts scroll and with his strength improved, Xiao Chen would sooner or later not eat beef.

Why should he fear a mere village chief?

As for his village bully son, if he killed him, he killed him.

Leaning in Xiao Chen's arms, Cheng Yurou showed a hint of grievance.

"Xiao Chen... I thought you would never wake up again."

"It's alright, it's all in the past. Life will only get better from now on!"

Xiao Chen said with a determined gaze.

In this chaotic era of martial arts, martial power was supreme.

He possessed the Martial Dao Saint Body destiny; if he didn't roam freely and grandly, wouldn't it be too much of a waste?

However, before possessing great strength, he still couldn't be too ostentatious.

The laws of the Great Lan Dynasty were well-established, and they particularly disliked situations where martial arts were used to break the law.

Even if an individual's strength was immense, it would be difficult to resist an entire Dynasty.

However, that was for ordinary people.

Now, Xiao Chen possessed the martial arts scroll, coupled with this powerful destiny.

One day, even if he were to transcend the entire Dynasty's laws, it might not be impossible.

Thinking of this, a surge of heroic spirit rose in Xiao Chen's heart.

His eyes glowed with strong self-confidence.

Cheng Yurou in his arms also felt the change in Xiao Chen and immediately pressed even closer.

Although there had been constant friction over the past two years, Xiao Chen had always maintained his composure, which made Cheng Yurou wonder if Xiao Chen somehow disliked her.

But Xiao Chen's recent assertiveness dispelled that doubt in Cheng Yurou.

"Xiao Chen, what about Jiang Dahu's matter?"

Cheng Yurou was a little worried.

Although she didn't know how Xiao Chen did it, such a matter certainly wouldn't be perfect, and if any flaw was exposed, it would be revealed.

"No matter who asks, just say you haven't seen him."

"It will be fine in a few days."

Xiao Chen said.

At the same time, he also pondered the path he would take in the future.

Now that he had the System, he needed to plan reasonably.

Although the System's effects were powerful, it didn't make him invincible overnight, especially in this Great Lan Dynasty. He still didn't know the level of strength of some top experts, so he had to be careful in everything.

For now, he would stay in Da Huai Village, and after understanding the System's workings, he would move to the town.

The Great Lan Dynasty was not peaceful now; ordinary commoners without travel permits could not move around freely, otherwise, they would be arrested as displaced people and conscripted into the army. However, Xiao Chen had a full ten thousand taels of gold in his System space, so these matters would be easy to handle, but no matter what, improving his strength was the top priority.

Only with strength would he have the right to survive in this chaotic world.

"Mhm, I'll listen to you."

Cheng Yurou nodded, then looked up, her bright eyes shyly gazing at Xiao Chen.

Half an hour later, the two embraced and fell asleep.

Xiao Chen woke up first.

After getting dressed, he went to the courtyard.

The injury to his head was no longer an issue.

He checked the System panel again; the System was still there!

"It requires nine more kill points to activate again."

"Those who ambushed me last time also included Jiang Mingxuan and Jiang Mingliang, the two brothers."

"Village Chief Jiang De."

"His lackey, Jiang Wei."

Jiang Wei was the second-best archer in the village.

These people all needed to be dealt with.

Xiao Chen's eyes glinted with cold light.

At least these four people could provide four kill points.

He would temporarily note these four down.

"And the Black Tiger Gang."

"Although Big Brother was disappointing, he must have been set up by the Black Tiger Gang back then, incurring a huge debt. Over the years, the money I've paid back is already three times the principal."

"Big Brother's death that year also had an inseparable connection with the Black Tiger Gang."

The Black Tiger Gang was a Gang in Dongfeng Town.

They operated a casino.

It was said that many people were ruined by the Black Tiger Gang's schemes.

They committed all sorts of evil deeds!

Then Xiao Chen took out the Dragon Horn Bow given in the Newbie Gift Pack.

Xiao Chen, who had dealt with bows and arrows for years, knew this item was extraordinary the moment he touched the Dragon Horn Bow.

Slightly pulling the bowstring, Xiao Chen could actually see a vortex of Qi rapidly forming a Qi arrow.

"What!?"

Xiao Chen gasped.

He shot an arrow into the sky.

With a whoosh, the invisible Qi arrow flew at least a hundred zhang into the air!

And it left no trace whatsoever.

"Wow!"

"What a truly good item!"

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up.

This was not the limit of the Dragon Horn Bow.

Of course, wielding the Dragon Horn Bow also consumed a lot of Qi.

But with Xiao Chen's current strength, shooting a hundred or so arrows like that one was not a problem.

"The Black Tiger Gang will also come to collect debts today."

"If they come from Dongfeng Town, they will definitely pass through Xiaoxing Mountain."

In for a penny, in for a pound.

Taking advantage of today's beautiful weather, he would finish them off!

Rather than waiting for these people to come to his door and act presumptuously, he might as well take the initiative.
