When Lao Wu saw that he was a young man who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he immediately relaxed his vigilance, but the saber was still clutched in his hand.
He looked at Chen Fan, full of doubts.
Ordinary people would be too frightened to approach or panic when they smell the blood on their bodies.
But the young man in front of him had a calm expression, as if he didn't smell the blood on them.
"Does this person have a blind nose?"
Lao Wu couldn't help but think to himself.
Although I thought so, I still became more vigilant in my heart.
"Come here, little one. I have something to ask you."
Chen Fan glanced at the knife in Lao Wu's hand and asked directly without moving an inch, "Who are you looking for?"
A cold light flashed in Lao Wu's eyes.
He didn't expect that this young man would be so cautious.
The reason why he called Chen Fan over was because as long as Chen Fan took another step forward, he would be within his attack range.
Without defense, even if his eldest brother Liu Hu entered the attack range, he would be 40% sure to kill him with one blow.
Even if he cannot be killed, he is likely to be seriously injured.
Lao Wu took a step forward seemingly casually, trying to pull Chen Fan into his attack range.
But he didn't expect that Chen Fan would take two steps back, closing the distance even further.
Lao Wu sneered in his heart.
It seemed that Chen Fan was not afraid of them, but judging from Chen Fan's two steps back, Chen Fan must be nervous.
Lao Wu stopped walking forward and asked, "Where are the people in this village?"
"died."
"Dead? How did he die?"
"Sickened by the plague and died of illness."
"plague!"
Lao Wu and others hurriedly covered their mouths and noses.
After all, they are ordinary people. They dare to fight against the enemy on the battlefield, but they have nothing to do in the face of the plague.
"How come you're not dead?"
"I'm ready."
Lao Qi sneered: "Little one, how dare you lie to us. The whole village is dead, but you are the one who survived?"
Lao Wu and Lao Jiu also had the same idea in their hearts, Chen Fan was lying to them.
The whole village got sick from the plague and died, but one child survived.
Moreover, they saw that Chen Fan was full of energy and did not look like someone who had been sick. Thinking of the corpse at the entrance of the village, all three of them smelled a hint of danger from Chen Fan.
"There's nothing I can do if you don't believe it." Chen Fan said.
Lao Wu laughed and put away the knife: "Since you said so, I will believe it. We originally wanted to rest in this village, but you said that there was a plague in the village, so we didn't dare to stay here. Stay longer.”
After saying that, Lao Wu turned around and walked towards the entrance of the village.
At the same time, Liu Hu was already standing next to the ruins of Chen Fan's original residence, still holding the clothes that originally belonged to Shen Dan.
"Brother, what's wrong?" The second brother looked at the clothes for a long time and couldn't figure out the reason, so he asked.
"If I remember correctly, only disciples of the Shen family can wear this kind of clothes." Liu Hu said.
"The Shen family?"
Liu Hu nodded, looked at the second child, and said: "You haven't been in the army for too long, so there are some secrets that you don't know. Seven years ago, Zhao and Jin fought a big battle. This one The battle ended with Zhao's defeat after only three days."
The second child laughed: "Brother, are you wrong? Just fighting for three days is considered a big battle?"
Liu Hu shook his head and continued: "What do you know? That time, Zhao State spent a lot of money to invite several practitioners in Zhao State, hoping that they would assist Zhao State in attacking Jin State. But who knew that there were also practitioners in Jin State? .”
The second child was stunned. He had also heard some rumors about practitioners in the military, but most of those rumors were mythical and were said to be miraculous. He always listened to it as a story.
Unexpectedly, this time he heard it from his elder brother.
Only in this way did he confirm that these rumors turned out to be true. There really are practitioners in this world.
I couldn’t help but ask: “What happened next?”
"Later? The few cultivators invited by the Zhao State were vulnerable to attack, and were quickly killed by the Jin cultivators. For this, the Zhao State paid a heavy price. From then on, the Zhao State never again Dare to take advantage of the Jin State."
Only then did the second brother understand that the big battle Liu Hu was talking about turned out to be like this. The battle between practitioners is naturally a big battle in the eyes of mortals like them.
"You mean..." The second child suddenly thought of something and asked tentatively.
Liu Hu nodded: "Yes. The practitioners of Jin are what I call the Shen family, and they are not too far away from here."
The second child is the smartest among the five, and he is often the one who makes suggestions among the five. So as soon as Liu Hu said it, he understood what was going on.
"Are you saying that the corpse at the entrance of the village is probably a member of the Shen family?"
"Even if it isn't, this village is still related to the Shen family."
The second child's eyes lit up and he became excited: "Brother, we can take these clothes to seek shelter from the Shen family. Since the clothes worn by the disciples of the Shen family are here, it must mean that something happened to the Shen family here. As long as we take this piece of clothing over, explain what we know to the Shen family, and ask for shelter from the Shen family. By then, even if the dead body is not a disciple of the Shen family, he will protect us for the sake of this piece of clothing. .”
After hearing what the second brother said, Liu Hu's eyes lit up and he nodded: "We have taken refuge in the Shen family, so we don't have to live this kind of life on the run. Even if the Shen family doesn't want to take us in, the Jin military will look at it. In the face of our contribution to the Shen family, we will not be hunted down anymore. We can live in the Jin Kingdom with dignity."
"Exactly."
Liu Hu and Lao Er were both excited.
At this moment, a burst of fire came from the other end of the village, frightening the two of them.
Also shocked were Lao Wu and others. He looked at the young man in front of him with a face full of disbelief: "Are you a practitioner?"
Chen Fan looked at Lao Wu and others and nodded expressionlessly.
When Lao Wu turned around just now, he didn't really want to leave, but wanted to make Chen Fan relax his vigilance and kill him with one more blow.
As rogue bandits, they acted extremely carefully and never left any survivors alive wherever they went, not to mention the young man in front of them who gave them a dangerous aura.
So the moment Lao Wu turned around, he had murderous intentions towards Chen Fan. After exchanging a look with Lao Qi and Lao Jiu, he drew his knife and slashed at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan was already on guard against these people. The moment Lao Wu drew his sword, Chen Fan condensed a fire talisman in his hand and swatted it towards Lao Wu and the others.
Lao Wu and his group had been rolling among the dead, and when they saw the Fire Talisman condensed by Chen Fan, they knew they couldn't bear it. He gave up the attack and dodged.
The fire flow talisman was extremely fast, and only Lao Wu and Lao Jiu were able to dodge the fire flow talisman. Lao Qi, the weakest among the three, did not escape.
A painful wail came, and Lao Qi soon became silent. The whole person was lying on the ground, with flames still burning on his body.
"Let's run quickly." Lao Wu didn't even look at Lao Qi who fell on the ground, and hurriedly turned around and ran out.
"Want to leave? It's not that easy."
Chen Fan shouted loudly and drew a talisman in the air. It's just that what he drew this time was not a fire talisman.
Since these people in front of him want to kill him, he doesn't mind killing them all.
What's more, he had killed Shen Dan of the Shen family before. If this matter spread and the Shen family knew about it, they would definitely face pursuit from the Shen family.
His cultivation level is still shallow now, and he will easily die if he is chased by practitioners of the Shen family.
Even if a life can be saved in the case of a foreign limb, the news of the foreign limb will definitely leak out. Then there will be more trouble.
So Chen Fan took action without any hesitation this time.
"I'll use you to test the talisman this time."
Chen Fan shouted loudly, and as soon as the talisman in his hand was drawn, it disappeared into the air.
Immediately afterwards, Lao Wu and Lao Jiu felt something grabbed their legs, making it impossible for them to move out no matter what.
Lao Wu looked down and was shocked.
Because ice had actually formed on the original road, and the ice froze their feet firmly to the ground, making them unable to move.
Lao Wu and Lao Jiu looked in disbelief. You should know that it is autumn now, and although the weather is starting to get cooler, it is not cold enough to start freezing.
What's more, ice formed out of thin air on the streets.
Before the disbelief on their faces disappeared, they felt a burst of anger.
Looking back, he saw several lines of fire coming towards them.
Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Lao Wu tried to cut down the line of fire coming towards them with his saber.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the saber touched the line of fire, the line of fire spread along the saber to his body.
"Exalted Immortal, please spare my life."
Lao Wu looked at the line of fire getting closer and closer to him, begging for mercy with a look of horror on his face.
At the same time, his feet kept struggling, trying to free his feet from the ice.
After going through a lot of hardships, he finally reached the territory of Jin, finally got rid of his pursuers, and finally found a village where he could rest and kill people.
But he didn't expect that there was no one in this village, only a young boy in front of him who looked like he was only thirteen or fourteen years old.
What he didn't expect even more was that this young man was even more terrifying than them, and he was actually a legendary practitioner.
They had fought so hard to save such a life, but in the end they had to die in the hands of such a child with no hair at all.
He refused to accept it, he did not want to die, and he regretted it.
He regretted sworn sworn relationship with Liu Hu, participated in the mutiny with Liu Hu, regretted fleeing to Jin with Liu Hu, regretted coming to this village, and even more regretted provoking the young man in front of him.
But he didn't expect that these flames would spread so quickly, and Chen Fan didn't give him a chance to regret it.
He only saw Chen Fan giving him a cold smile and lost his life.
Lao Jiu originally wanted to beg for mercy like Lao Wu. He wanted to kneel down to Chen Fan and beg Chen Fan to spare his life.
But he found that his feet were still firmly frozen to the ground and he couldn't kneel down at all.
Moreover, the flames spread down Lao Wu's body and were about to burn him.
After he saw the sneer on Chen Fan's face, he knew that Chen Fan would not spare him. His heart skipped a beat, and he shouted with a vicious look on his face: "You should die too."
Lao Jiu threw the saber in his hand directly.
His sword skills are the worst among the five, but he has a very powerful sacrificial skill, flying knives.
This flying knife does not refer to a hidden weapon, but a throwing knife from the hand.
Not only is its power greater than that of ordinary flying knives, it is also fast, accurate, and even more sudden.
He relied on this move to narrowly win against many enemies.
But what made him despair was that after he threw the knife, he saw Chen Fan slide quickly in the air a few times, and a faint, almost invisible light shield shone on Chen Fan.
The knife thrown by Lao Jiu hit this layer of light and could no longer enter even half a minute.
Bang!
The iron knife fell to the ground.
The flames also spread to Lao Jiu.
Chen Fan was also frightened by the scene just now.
If he hadn't memorized the Ice Talisman and the Light Control Talisman in addition to the Fire Flow Talisman, if he hadn't cast these two talismans for the first time without making any mistakes, and if he hadn't drawn the talisman quickly enough, I'm afraid he would have I will die here today too.
He let out a breath of relief. This was his first real confrontation with someone, so he was inevitably a little nervous.
At this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats suddenly sounded from the other side, making him nervous again.
The next moment, he shouted something bad and rushed towards the entrance of the village.
When Chen Fan first heard the sound of horse hooves, he thought the two people at the entrance of the village were coming to save his companions. However, after rushing out, he discovered that the two people had actually escaped on horseback.
He only took a few steps forward and then stopped. After all, he can't fly with the wind, and he hasn't learned to draw the wind-chasing talisman to speed up his legs. Naturally, he couldn't catch up with the two men on horseback.
What made Chen Fan upset was that what he was worried about finally happened.
Because when he saw the two men escaping on horseback, Liu Hu was holding Shen Dan's clothes.
No need to think too much, his murder of Shen Dan has been exposed, and now he can only leave here to avoid the Shen family's pursuit. With his current cultivation level, he is completely unable to fight against the Shen family.
After all, according to Shen Dan's memory, the person with the highest cultivation level in the Shen family has reached the peak of the transformation realm and may break through to the realm of no return at any time. This is definitely not something that a monk of his level can afford to offend.
Looking at the familiar village, Chen Fan finally sighed.
It's time to leave.
