Among them, only Pei Shu'er and Tang Zan were considered formidable.
Pei Shu'er snatched a knife from a bandit and fiercely slashed at him, showing no mercy.
Tang Zan's skills were also impressive; he grasped several small stones and, using his inner strength, hurled them at the bandits.
The moment the stones struck the Yongquan acupoint of the bandits, they froze.
Tang Zan gracefully walked over, took the man's knife in hand, and swiftly slit the bandit's throat, sending his head rolling to the ground.
The rest of the exiles, frightened by the killings, retreated repeatedly, while some tried to incite others secretly.
"Don't go up, the government officer wants us to die on purpose."
"We barely have any strength, yet the government officer sends us up. How is this different from sending us to our deaths?"
The leader of these men was a hairy-faced man, who laughed heartily while looking at Lu Qing and the others.
