Faced with the dense attack of arrow rain, Wang Xu's face changed drastically. He quickly waved the sharp long sword in his hand and knocked off crossbow arrows away.

Wang Xu is worthy of being a first-class warrior. His internal strength is extremely strong. The sharp long sword in his hand is extremely sharp with the blessing of internal strength. He easily knocks off crossbow arrows away, making it impossible to cause damage to it.

However, there are too many crossbow arrows and are extremely dense. Although Wang Xu blocked most of the crossbow arrows' attacks, a small number of crossbow arrows still crossed the sharp sword in his hand, pierced through his defense, and pierced into his body, making it make a muffled groan, and streams of red blood flow out of it.

At this moment, under the cover of dense rain of arrows, Yang Rui quickly crossed more than ten meters away and approached Wang Xu's side. The short stick in his hand swayed with terrifying power, slammed Wang Xu's head fiercely, as if he wanted to smash Wang Xu's head.

Feeling the terrifying power contained on the short stick, Wang Xu's face changed drastically, and he quickly raised his arms to block his face.

Click!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, Wang Xu's arm was broken by a short stick, thrown out to the back, and fell to the ground hard.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Rui's figure flashed and quickly caught up with Wang Xu. The short stick in his hand, with terrifying power, hit Wang Xu hard, directly breaking Wang Xu's sternum and limbs, causing him to lose his combat power.

"Young Master, are you okay?"

Yang Hai quickly walked to Yang Rui and asked with a care-looking face.

"Hai Bo, I'm fine! How are the casualties in our Yang Mansion?" Yang Rui glanced at the Yang family guard who was lying on the ground and said.

"Young Master, our Yang Mansion guards died and twenty-six were injured. Twelve of them were seriously injured. After the injury heals, they would become useless people!" Yang Hai responded with a sad face.

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

As for those seriously injured, each person will be rewarded with an additional fifty gold coins. After the injury is healed, our Yang family will be responsible for settling down so that they can have food and clothing without worries!” Yang Rui ordered softly.

"Yes, young master!" Yang Hai nodded.

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

After arranging the escort, Yang Rui turned his eyes to Wang Xu on the ground and said in a cold tone.

"Young master, just don't worry. I promise to let him say everything he knows!" Yang Hai responded with a vicious look on his face.

After receiving Yang Hai's affirmative answer, Yang Rui nodded, returned to his bedroom, and handed over the follow-up matters to Yang Hai for handling.

The next morning, Yang Hai, with a tired face, came to Yang Rui's study to report: "Young Master, the thief was Wang Xu, the leader of the Black Mountain Thieves Group last night. The reason why he came to assassinate you was because you destroyed the Black Mountain Thieves Group on Heiyan Mountain.

Also, the reason why the Black Mountain Thieves captured the Black Stone Mine was because they were bribed by Sun Yuqi, the head of the Sun family in Wood Town, and wanted to lure you into action and kill you in the Black Stone 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 said in a cold tone: "Haibo, help me select a group of elite guards. I want to flatten the Sun family in Wood Town!"

"Young Master, I have selected 100 elite guards and wait in the Yang Mansion Martial Arts Fairgrounds. You can step down Wood Town at any time!" Yang Hai responded loudly with a vicious face.

"Very good! I'll go to the Woodtown right now!"

Yang Rui responded loudly, then stood up and walked towards the martial arts venue.

"Get on the horse and follow me to flatten Woodtown!"

Yang Rui came to the martial arts venue, looked at the hundred elite guards who were already ready, shouted, and then turned over and galloped outside the Yang Mansion.

Seeing Yang Rui's actions, hundreds of elite guards all turned over and followed Yang Rui and ran towards Wood Town.

Wood Town is more than 100 miles away from Black Rock Town. Yang Rui and his group spent more than an hour before they arrived in front of the gate of Wood Town.

At this time, the gate of Wood Town was wide open, and a huge white chess was inserted above the gate of Wood Town. Hundreds of strong and powerful men in coarse cloth clothes lined up neatly in two rows, looking out of the city.

After Yang Rui and his group appeared, a strong man led by the leader immediately held a letter and quickly met Yang Rui and his group, shouting: "Gao Jun, the captain of the Wood Town Guard Team, has met the Yang family leader. This is the letter from the Sun family to the Yang family leader!"

Hearing Gao Jun's words, Yang Rui frowned slightly, waved his hand, and Yang An, who was beside him, immediately stepped out of the crowd, took the letter from Gao Jun's hand, turned around and handed it to Yang Rui.

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

Yang Rui did not expect that Sun Yuqi was so decisive. When he found out that Wang Xu was captured, he immediately left Wood Town with his family and confidant, as well as the wealth he had accumulated over the years, and handed Wood Town to him.

"Gao Jun, what did Sun Yuqi say to you before leaving?" Yang Rui put the letter in his arms and turned his eyes to Gao Jun.

"Before the head of Yang family, Sun family leader said that Yang family leader had outstanding talents and a bright future. Let us follow you and serve you!" Gao Jun responded without hesitation.

"Yang An, from today on, you will be 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 appointed him loudly.

After saying that, Yang Rui left 50 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 Heiyan Town, Yang Rui handed over all the matters in Heiyan Town and Wood Town to Yang Hai, Yang An and others, and he focused on practicing medicine baths to improve his cultivation.

In this way, half a month passed in a flash, and Yang Rui successfully practiced the Nine-Turning Body-Turning Technique to the eighth turn, and his strength doubled to a terrifying 12,800 kilograms, directly surpassing the peerless warrior and comparable to the early innate warrior.

After the eighth turn of bodybuilding, Yang Rui's combat power surged. Even if he was unable to defeat the innate warriors, he could still compete with peerless warriors. Even in Zhenhai City, where there were many experts, he was still a top master, only under a few innate strong men.

"Young Master, it's time to collect taxes in Zhenhaicheng. I have prepared the taxes for Heiyan Town and Wood Town. You need to send them in person!" Yang Hai found Yang Rui and said with a solemn look on his face.

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

As long as the towns under their jurisdiction pay taxes on time, Zhenhaicheng will not interfere with the matters of the towns under their jurisdiction.

If the town under his jurisdiction does not pay taxes on time, then Zhenhaicheng will send strong men to kill the owner of the town and change it to another owner of the town.

Therefore, paying taxes on time is very important for small towns like Heiyan Town. They are related to the life and death of the town owner and require the town owner to personally escort them.

"Okay, I understand!" Yang Rui responded softly, and a look of expectation flashed in his eyes.
