At the same time, just outside the village where Lin Manliu and his party were going to investigate, a man in black robe appeared.
There is an ordinary iron sword hanging on his waist, just like the weapons that can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, there is nothing special about it.
Even the man's steps seemed loose and ordinary, and there was no hint of any charisma in him.
But it is precisely this look that makes people unconsciously suspicious. What is the purpose of this person appearing here?
Now that wars are raging and the world is in chaos, how can anyone walk in the mountains with such an attitude?
Therefore, the bandits who occupied the mountain as kings immediately mobilized the manpower in the village as soon as they noticed the movements of the men in black robes.
As long as the person who comes is not good, they will take action in advance to prevent them from falling behind.
But until the black-robed man arrived at the entrance of the village, the spying bandits could detect the slightest trace of murderous intent in him.
As a result, they relaxed their vigilance towards the people in front of them...
Several of the bandits looked at each other, and just by looking at each other, they discussed the follow-up matters.
[Looking at this person's appearance and physique, he doesn't look like a martial arts practitioner... Could it be that he deliberately wears a sword and goes out with a fake handle? 】
[Watch and wait again, be careful. The ten thousand year ship has already robbed many villages, but don’t stumble here! 】
[He only has one person. Even if the boss and the others haven’t arrived here yet, we and our brothers will definitely be able to capture this person! 】
The person who finally spoke winked at the two people in the distance, as if to emphasize how correct his idea was.
But before the other two people could respond, the man in black robe standing at the entrance of the village spoke out first.
"They looted fourteen villages, big and small. Do you really think no one can take you in?"
As soon as these words came out, all the bandits hiding in the dark looked shocked.
According to the intention of the man in black robe in front of me, he came to the door on his own initiative? !
Immediately one of the bandits issued an order: "Call the brothers immediately to stop this person. I will pull the sounding arrow to send a message to the boss!"
The black-robed man's hearing was so sharp that as soon as the bandit made a sound, he looked over for the sound.
As soon as the uttered bandit noticed the black-robed man's gaze, he was stunned. When those eyes looked at him, they seemed to be looking at a dead thing.
Something's wrong...
They had just stared at the man in black robe for such a long time, and they had never felt like they did now, a sense of timidity, panic, and powerlessness.
As the gaze lasted longer and longer, the bandit's heart was filled with turmoil, and his heartstrings immediately tightened.
He couldn't care less and could only scream.
"Stop him! You must stop him! I will send a message to the boss..."
Before he could get up and run towards the inside of the village, a simple iron sword had penetrated his chest and knocked the bandit's body to the ground.
When the other bandits looked at the man in black robe again, only the empty scabbard was left on his waist.
Just one strike of the sword was enough to make a judgment.
The remaining two bandits would be really stupid if they didn't understand each other's awareness.
One of them immediately said: "This hero! I don't know why you are here today... We can give away half of the money in the village, no! Give it all to the hero!"
While the bandit was speaking, his legs were shaking, because he didn't want to die here.
These days, those who follow the big boss are already grabbing a lot of money. After the war subsides, he can enjoy a lifetime of happiness with just some money.
The man in black robe looked disgusted when facing the bandit's begging for mercy, and then a look of contempt appeared on his face.
He walked forward step by step, passed the location of the two bandits, and finally came near the body that had just died.
While the man in black robe drew his sword, he picked out a loud arrow from his arms.
He turned to look at the two gangsters
Kou asked aloud: "As long as you pull this thing, your boss...or the rest of the people will rush back here, right?"
When the bandit who begged for mercy heard this question, his face was slightly startled at first, and then he kowtowed to the man desperately.
"As long as the arrow is fired... the boss and the others will definitely come back, because all the money they grabbed earlier is gathered here... But heroes... can you let us escape first..."
Before the bandit could finish speaking, or even before he could lift his head again, a strong wind suddenly blew from the front.
The next moment, he was picked up by the man in black robe like an old hen.
The force on the back of his neck increased bit by bit, and Bandit felt that his breathing was becoming more and more difficult.
"Hero...save me alive...I also know...where there is money..."
Click——
Before he could finish his words, his neck was forcibly broken by the man in black robe, and he died on the spot.
At the entrance of the village, only the last bandit was left. Looking at the tragic death of his fellow bandit in front of him, he was already panicking.
The bandit said: "Don't kill me...don't kill me..."
The man in black robe walked forward step by step until he was in front of and behind the bandit, and he squatted down.
His voice began to linger in the bandit's ears and could not be cut off for a long time.
"During these days, have you ever spared any of those villagers who have been begging for help?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black robe stretched out his hand and broke the bandit's neck in an instant!
After the man in black robe pulled the resounding arrow in his hand, he walked toward the village with the long sword in his hand.
The noise at the entrance and the arrows flying into the sky will definitely attract the attention of the remaining bandits. He needs to stabilize the situation inside the village before the big boss arrives.
...
Lin Manliu and others, who were only two miles away from the village, subconsciously stopped when they heard the sound of arrows piercing the sky.
Yue Hanzhi looked at the scene in front of him and asked aloud: "There may be changes in the village ahead. Can we enter them in batches when we get closer later?"
Lin Man said in six words: "Well...after all, I only heard that there were a large number of bandits before, so it's better to be more cautious!"
The young man glanced at the crowd behind him, and finally rested his eyes on Shen and Tong.
"Senior Brother Shen, Hanzhi and I will go ahead in a moment. You and I will take a detour to another mountain road in the village to prevent the bandits from escaping and also to meet us!"
Shen Yutong nodded and immediately winked at Hua Jin and Wuji.
"Junior Brother Lin, you can go ahead without any worries, but if there is another mutation in the village, we will bring people into it!"
After Lin Manliu said yes, he and Yue Hanzhi took a few disciples of Yijian Villa to set off early.
On the subsequent journey, they quickened their pace and soon approached the village.
When Lin Manliu approached, some black smoke was rising from the southwest corner of the village, accompanied by the sound of slashing.
"Brothers, come together, he is just one person!"
"No matter how high your martial arts skills are, it doesn't matter! There is just a broken blade in your hand. When you are exhausted, you will still have the majesty you have now!"
"You've killed so many of my men, and you'll be skinned and cramped in no time!"
Lin Manliu listened to these shouts and the continuous sound of clashing weapons, and had a certain understanding of the situation.
Someone must have had a conflict with the bandits in the village, and the battle with them was going on!
Lin Manliu immediately said: "Hanzhi, after entering the village later, we will first search to see if there are still villagers alive. I checked the situation earlier!"
Yue Hanzhi nodded, and after Lin Manliu rushed to the southwest of the village, she also entered the village with the remaining disciples of Yijian Villa.
As the young man approached, the sound of the crowd fighting and the sound of weapons slashing became increasingly clear.
After Lin Manliu passed through a courtyard wall, he
Finally, we could clearly see the confrontation scene in the southwest corner.
As soon as the scene came into view, the young man sighed inwardly. He was actually fighting against twenty or thirty bandits by himself! ?
From the flames in the sky, one could vaguely see the man in black robe holding a broken blade, always protecting the two children behind him.
After every fight, the man in black robe would retreat in front of the two children, not letting the bandits get closer at all.
Lin Manliu could tell that the black-robed man's martial arts skills were far superior to those of the bandits present just by looking at the opponent's quick steps and feet.
If he hadn't protected the children behind him, no matter how large the number of bandits in front of him was, they would not be able to pose any threat to them.
While the young man was observing, a big man in the middle of the bandit crowd suddenly stood up.
He waved the blade in his hand and rushed straight in front of the man in black robe. The latter immediately cut off the broken blade from his hand, preparing to stop him on the spot.
As a result, the big man shouted: "Now!!!"
The bandits who were still watching the fight between the two immediately took this opportunity to rush towards the children behind the man in black robes.
The big man continued to shout: "You heroes, who are full of benevolence, justice and morality, may be willing to give up your own lives, but these wimps behind you are all your thorns in the side, right?"
As he spoke, he slashed down with his sword and collided with the black-robed man's weapon.
Clang——Clang——
The big man was no match for the man in black robe. As soon as the two of them exchanged blows, the blade in his hand was blocked by the opponent.
Then, before he could take any more action, the man in black robe kicked him out and kicked him away.
The big man stood up and saw that his plan was about to succeed, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Today, in front of you... I will skin those two babies alive..."
But his smile was short-lived and ended abruptly before the man in black robe turned around.
The big man saw another person appear in the formation. He looked like a young man holding a heavy weapon. It was Lin Manliu who was hiding not far away!
The Four Seasons flew past, and Lin Man and the others followed the sword and quickly flashed in front of the two children.
"Senior, come here to help us!"
The man in black robe glanced at the young man and said, "It's a fate..."
Lin Manliu only recognized the identity of the man in black robe when he passed by him. At first, he did not think about it from the person he knew well.
They met for the first time in southern Xinjiang, and they killed the black dragon in the forest together.
