Chapter 20
As Powerful as a Galloping Horse!
This sum of money would not be paid by Zhou Yun but by the rich and powerful people of Heiye City. If the effort was not proportional to the gains, the dissatisfaction of these rich and powerful people would most certainly affect his prestige.
Moreover, Su Jie also requested that he wanted half of the spoils obtained during the elimination of the bandits.
Zhou Yun pondered. He looked at Su Jie, who was sitting calmly in front of him, and finally made up his mind. “Alright! I agree to your request!”
Zhou Yun was not a weak person. He hired Su Jie to help the government of Heiye City eliminate the bandits!
Seeing that Zhou Yun had agreed, a smile appeared underneath Su Jie’s mask. As a cultivator, he needed a large sum of money. It was undoubtedly the best if he could earn it from Heiye City!
“In that case, I’ll come to Heiye City every month. If you need me, just get Yan Bin to leave a message for me.”
Su Jie immediately agreed with Zhou Yun.
Su Jie usually practiced martial arts every day. Every month, he took a few days to fight with the soldiers of Heiye City.
“Alright, I’ll pay you 1,000 taels of silver in advance for this month. Tomorrow, we will carry out the first round of suppression of bandits. We’ll gather at the west city gate tomorrow morning.”
After the negotiation, Su Jie successfully obtained 1,000 taels of silver from Zhou Yun for this month to buy the Body Strengthening Pills to maintain his current high-intensity and high-progress cultivation!
Apart from that, Su Jie also has to participate in the bandit extermination operation of Heiye City. Su Jie, who has received the money, naturally could not refuse.
Zhou Yun and Wang Wu left together. Zhou Yun was visibly perplexed. “This Ape Demon… seems to be very young.”
From his conversation with Su Jie, although Su Jie was wearing an ape mask, Zhou Yun was certain that Su Jie was very young. He was at least no older than thirty.
To have such strength at such a young age! Quite extraordinary!
Zhou Yun did not know for sure that Su Jie was indeed very young. He was not even 15 years old!
The next morning, before dawn, Su Jie woke up early and left the Yan residence. As agreed upon yesterday, he gathered with the Heiye City team at the west city gate.
Soon, when he arrived at the west gate, Su Jie met the team.
It was a well-armed party. The soldiers wore armor and rode tall horses. There were not many of them, only thirty.
Although there were not many of them, Su Jie could sense an extraordinary aura from these soldiers. They should be elite soldiers who have been trained for a long time.
The leader of this team was none other than Wang Wu.
When Wang Wu saw Su Jie, he immediately greeted: “Brother Ape Demon.”
“Yes.” Su Jie nodded slightly.
“Is he… the ape demon?”
The other soldiers looked at Su Jie, who was wearing an ape mask, with strange expressions.
They naturally knew that this Ape Demon was the expert hired by the magistrate, Zhou Yun!
Wang Wu said to Su Jie: “Brother Ape Demon, although our team doesn’t have many people, we’re all good at fighting. We can even kill a hundred bandits by ourselves!”
The bandit elimination team in Heiye City only had 30 cavalry but almost all of them were third-rate martial artists. They could easily fight against more than one person. The combat strength of 30 people could be compared to that of a 100-man team!
“Okay, let’s go.”
Su Jie did not waste any time. He got on the horse so he could quickly finish his business and go home.
“Go!”
A group of more than thirty people set off in a mightily. The horses galloped and every soldier was wearing armor. There was a murderous atmosphere.
As they galloped out of the city, Wang Wu said to Su Jie, “Yesterday, we received news that a group of about 20 bandits were hiding in the Fenghei Forest outside the city after plundering. Our mission is to annihilate them and kill those who resist!”
Su Jie understood. This was not the first time Su Jie killed someone. Killing these bandits could be considered as getting rid of evil for the people. He did not feel any psychological burden at all!
As the sky grew brighter, Su Jie and the others arrived outside Fenghei Forest.
“Damn, I didn’t get much from this trip. It was barely enough for my daily expenses.”
In Fenghei Forest, by the fire, a burly man counted his gains. His face was full of displeasure.
Many people were sitting around the fire and some were sleeping on the ground. There were more than twenty of them and all of them had fierce auras. They were the target of Su Jie and the others’ trip.
“Boss! Something’s happening! Soldiers are coming! They’re coming for us!”
At this moment, a voice with a hint of anxiety sounded. It came from the horse-riding thief who was keeping watch.
When the Heiye City bandit elimination team arrived outside the Fenghei Forest, they were immediately discovered by the bandits.
“Soldiers from the government? From Heiye City?”
The burly man shivered. The rest of the bandits who were resting also woke up but they did not panic.
The burly man immediately ordered: “Leave now! Don’t fight them. Retreat!”
“Yes!”
All the horse-riding thieves mounted their horses and galloped off in the opposite direction.
“We’ve been discovered? Chase! Don’t let any of them escape!”
When Wang Wu and the others discovered that the bandits were escaping, he immediately gave the order to pursue them.
Heiye City’s bandit extermination team did not have many people but they were well-equipped and rode good horses. Nevertheless, it was not easy to catch up with these fleeing bandits.
“I’ll intercept them.”
Su Jie said to Wang Wu and the others. Since he was under the expensive employment of Heiye City, he naturally wouldn’t do nothing!
“Be careful” Wang Wu quickly reminded him.
Bang!
Su Jie dismounted from his horse. He stomped on the ground and instantly leaped three to five meters away. In a few leaps, he left the entire Heiye City team behind.
With Su Jie’s explosive power, he was much faster than a horse!
“Someone’s catching up!”
Some mounted bandits who were galloping on horseback turned back and were shocked to see Su Jie speeding over.
Ape Demon Rock Toss!
Su Jie grabbed the few stones in his left hand with his right hand. These stones were only the size of grapes. At that moment, he exerted strength in his arm muscles and swung his arm. The stones shot out with a sonic boom!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Stones shot out like bullets, covering a distance of more than a hundred feet and bombarding several mounted bandits.
“Harrumph!”
A series of screams were followed by a high-pitched whining from the horses. Three or four of the bandits fell off their horses’ backs, breaking their bones.
“Turn back! Kill the boy!”
The burly man in front of him noticed what was happening behind him and shouted fiercely.
Four or five bandits responded to the burly man’s call and tightened their reins. They turned their horses and galloped towards Su Jie.
These bandits were all bandits who had drawn blood before. All of them were out to kill. With the momentum of their horses charging forward, they were not to be underestimated. Even second-rate martial artists would definitely not face them head-on!
Ape Demon King Kong Fist: Ape Demon Through Fist!
Su Jie’s expression was ice cold under the mask. Like the ape mask on his face, he did not dodge. He used the Ape Demon King Kong Fist and gathered strength in his arms. He punched out with both fists and faced the two people and their horses charging toward him.
Boom Boom!
Su Jie’s heavy punches landed on the sides of the heads of the horses on the left and right. He used some finesse in his punch and struck out to the sides. Otherwise, the impact and recoil of the man and horse charging at him at full speed would most likely injure Su Jie even with his powerful physique!
“Harrumph!”
Amidst the neighing, the heads of the two horses were each hit by Su Jie’s heavy punch. The terrifying impact caused them to roll to the side and fall, splashing quite a bit of dust. The two mounted bandits on the backs of the horses fell from their horses, dizzy from the fall!
