Many years later, he never forgot that what impressed him most was not Long Yun, who stood like a god with a sword, but Fei Hu, who was frightened and completely lost his will to resist.
It turns out that killing a person is so easy and simple. There is no sword going back and forth, and no clever tricks or skills appear. It is as simple as cutting flowers with a sword in a Taoist temple.
Li Xiuyuan only had time to glance before he was pulled down by the two people in front of him. The boy closest to him glared at him, as if to warn him not to move.
"Long Yun, Taoyuan Swordsman, anyone who wants revenge can come to me." Before he could say anything, the sound of a head falling to the ground came from in front of him. Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel nervous. Feihu was also dead.
There was a commotion among the prisoners in front, and Li Xiuyuan saw through the gap that Long Yun was walking towards the direction of himself and the others. The long sword had not yet been sheathed and was still dripping blood.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the trembling appearance of the two men in surprise, and suddenly realized that Long Yun was coming for these two teenagers. Their panic explained everything.
In Li Xiuyuan's eyes, he was puzzled as to why the two young men were so afraid.
Long Yun walked slowly, and as far as he could see, everyone immediately dwarfed, and when he reached the end of the team, he stopped.
To Li Xiuyuan's expectation, the two teenagers were no longer afraid. They straightened their bodies together and looked quietly at Long Yun who was holding the sword in front of them.
Long Yun's eyes narrowed even more, but the expression on his face remained unchanged. He raised his sword with both hands.
With this sword strike, a bunch of people's heads would probably fall off, but the prisoners were just like the dead Feihu, too frightened to move and resigned to their fate.
Only Li Xiuyuan was not timid. Instead, he took a small step forward, looked at Long Yun and said, "You come from Taoyuan, so you should be a true knight."
Li Xiuyuan had never heard anyone talk about Taoyuan, which did not affect his judgment of Long Yun.
"I'm just a swordsman." Long Yun replied coldly.
"Swordsmen shouldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately. Only bandits and robbers in the Shura Domain kill people casually." Li Xiuyuan replied.
Long Yun looked at him and shook his head. His weather-beaten face was as cold as a snow-capped mountain. He held his breath for a moment and held the sword tighter.
Li Xiuyuan felt as if his heart had stopped beating. Just for a word, he wanted to die together with the two unknown teenagers.
Long Yun's long sword slashed down diagonally. This sword will cut off more than one head. But the sword changed direction midway, and he turned around and struck with the sword.
A cold arrow fell at his feet.
"Hidden arrows hurt people. They must be the lackeys of the Flying Eagle King of Shura Domain." Long Yun said coldly.
"You are so bold, you are just a little swordsman from Taoyuan."
A black-clothed cultivator galloped from the mountain pass in the west, and there were two people behind him, holding a flag with a black background and red edges, with a golden flying eagle embroidered in the middle.
The two people behind him stopped at the same place. The black-clothed cultivator approached alone and stopped when he was more than ten steps away from Long Yun. He turned over and dismounted and put the long bow in his hand calmly.
"It turns out that Taoyuan Swordsman visited the Flying Eagle King's territory. What a rare visitor." The black-clothed practitioner said with a faint smile.
"It's really rare for the Flying Eagle King killer to dare to fight alone." Long Yun replied coldly.
"There's nothing I can do about it. I've learned the art of killing for a few days."
"I am Long Yun, the Taoyuan swordsman." Long Yun held the sword in both hands and pointed at the ground.
"Jiu Yang, I'm just a nobody under my master." The practitioner in black replied.
The black-clothed killer pulled out his knife. Unlike the bandits' knives, his blade was no more than two feet long and exuded a strange aura.
The killer and the swordsman came within three steps, but neither of them made a move. Within one step, the two of them just nodded.
Murderous aura suddenly burst out, from nothing to domineering in just a moment, the short sword and the long sword struck at the same time.
As fast as lightning, Li Xiuyuan screamed secretly in his heart.
The swords and knives struck out as fast as lightning, but they did not intersect. The black-clothed killer retreated faster than the sword was drawn out. In the blink of an eye, he had retreated five steps away, just at the edge of the long sword's attack range.
Long Yun also retracted his sword move in time when the opponent retreated.
The first move was indistinguishable, and Li Xiu felt the powerful aura of the Taoyuan swordsman.
The killer and the swordsman clashed again. This time the two men jumped up like powerful arrows. In an instant, their swords collided, making a harsh friction sound.
The black-clothed killer immediately retreated from the fight until he was ten steps away. His expression was tense, as if he was on the verge of life or death.
Long Yun swung his sword again and took a big step forward.
Li Xiuyuan's heart moved, thinking that the Taoyuan swordsman was about to deliver a fatal blow.
But he was wrong, Long Yun stopped there, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
The two faced each other like statues, which lasted for a long time.
"It turned out to be Hua Gong Powder, I should have thought of it a long time ago." Long Yun suddenly knelt down on one leg, still holding the sword tightly in both hands, but it was no longer a killing weapon and could only support his thin body.
Li Xiuyuan didn't know what Hua Gong Powder was, and he was not the only one who knew nothing about it. But everyone knew one thing, the Taoyuan Swordsman was poisoned.
"You should have thought of it earlier, but you are still defenseless against me!" The black-clothed killer's tone was full of disdain, without a trace of mercy.
"Hua Gong Powder is colorless and tasteless, and it is very harmful to people. Ten years ago, Flying Eagle King swore to destroy it forever and never use it. Now it seems that Flying Eagle King is still the same as before, just a villain."
Long Yun looked at him and said coldly.
"It seems that you know a lot, but this is not a Hua Gong Powder, so don't you know that we, the Flying Eagle King, will never leave a living person after the oath?"
As the black-clothed killer spoke, he walked up to Long Yun and put the tip of his knife against the swordsman's head.
Li Xiuyuan couldn't believe it and was looking forward to Long Yun's counterattack.
In his heart, heroes should defeat bad guys, and light should defeat darkness!
The black-clothed killer swung out his sword and Long Yun's head flew out. The death was uneventful, with a headless corpse standing on its knees holding a sword.
Not far away, lay the seven bandits who died under his sword.
The black-clothed killer held the short knife that was still bleeding and turned to look at the dozens of bandits.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. A real swordsman falls at the foot of the killer just because he used poison, but these dozens of bandits dare not let go, like lambs.
The killer looked at him with contempt and sheathed his knife. He got on his horse and said coldly: "After doing business, leave here immediately!"
The bandits nodded in agreement as if they had been granted amnesty.
The killer in black urged his horse forward, and behind him, two men in black holding flags followed closely.
"After doing business, leave here immediately." Li Xiuyuan quickly understood the meaning of this sentence and found that he had become a commodity.
A caravan came from the mountain pass in the west, forming a long queue, some on horseback, some driving vehicles, with different costumes and hundreds of people.
Businessmen and bandits have clear boundaries and are often at odds with each other, but they have reached a tacit understanding of peace on this road.
The bandits took out the looted items and people one after another and sold their own goods to the merchants, most of which they themselves could not name.
Businessmen like this kind of business very much. Not only is the price cheap, but if you are lucky, you can buy rare treasures from unsuspecting bandits.
The merchants have paid a price for this. They paid protection fees to the biggest robber here, Flying Eagle King, in exchange for protection from his men and not being harassed by small groups of bandits.
The transaction was going on in full swing, people were coming and going, and the corpses on the ground had long been robbed by a group of people.
Li Xiuyuan was filled with emotion and didn't know where to start.
The two teenagers in front of him didn't have much idea. They had just escaped, and now they had to save themselves.
The two men opened their mouths to bite the rope on their hands. The prisoners were stunned for a moment, and they all realized that this group of people was free and their master had become a dead man.
However, at this intersection dominated by bandits and merchants, the prisoners had not yet bitten off the ropes in their hands. Several merchants came over and, without saying a word, ordered their slaves to cut off the ropes and prepare to receive this group of goods.
"I'm not a slave!"
Li Xiuyuan shouted to the bearded man running towards him. The two teenagers in front also shouted in another language. No matter which language, everyone laughed.
The big beard grabbed one of Li Xiuyuan's arms and wanted to take him into the car. Li Xiuyuan had nowhere to vent his anger, so he used all his strength and kicked the big beard.
The bearded man screamed in pain, became angry, and punched Gu Shenwei hard in the lower abdomen.
The bearded man wanted to be beaten again, and a businessman said something sternly, which probably meant that he should not beat the slave to death. It was the goods he had just bought.
The bearded man held a grudge and deliberately hit his head on the wooden fence when he opened the wooden door of the cage. Li Xiuyuanwei felt dizzy and his whole body was thrown in.
It took Li Xiuyuan a while to regain consciousness and found that the caravan was back on the road, following the footsteps of the Flying Eagle Flag to the west.
There was not one caged cart, but a string behind it. The carts were all pulled by wildebeests with huge horns. Many ferocious-looking practitioners followed on both sides of the convoy.
Li Xiuyuan looked back at the cage car. There were more than a dozen children huddled in the weeds, staring at him with fearful eyes like small animals.
"Ahead is Tianfeng City in the Shura Domain!" There were practitioners chatting outside the car.
"After we sell the fat sheep here, let's go have a drink!"
Li Xiuyuan looked up and saw that even these cultivators who were guarding them were probably masters of the Golden Core realm, even though he couldn't tell. I thought that I just wanted to go out and see the world, but in this world, I was sold as a fat sheep.
I was supposed to go to Baijincheng, but I didn't expect that I would be robbed by a group of bandits on the way to Tianfeng City.
Leaning in the cage, Li Xiuyuan thought about how to escape.
But at least we have to wait until dark, right?
While swaying along the uneven road, Li Xiuyuan thought about ways to escape. After all, he is not an ordinary foundation-building practitioner. His physical body is much stronger than his cultivation level. Otherwise, the old Taoist priest would not have put so much thought into it.
A long line of caged cars arrived outside Tianfeng City before dark, lining up to go inside.
Tianfeng City Gate is a black arch. There are more than a dozen fully armed soldiers guarding both sides of the city gate, carefully checking every pedestrian who is about to enter the city.
As each passerby enters after checking, green and red lights will flash on the black arch.
When it was Li Xiuyuan's turn, a blue light shone through the black arch and made a whining sound!
"What's going on? All the little guys in the car get out and check again!"
A guard wearing armor shouted loudly.
When the caravan guard saw it, he quickly opened the door of the cage car and pulled out the teenagers one by one. A dozen people lined up and walked back into the black arch.
When it was Li Xiuyuan's turn, another blue light shone through the black arch and made a whining sound!
"Stay this child, and everyone else should get out!" the guard in armor shouted loudly.
"Brother, is this our cargo?" The guard was unwilling to fight.
"You want to reason with me?" The armored guard turned his head and looked at him coldly.
The businessman behind the guard stepped forward, kicked him, and apologized to the leader in armor: "If you like it, you will give this child to you. Let's go!"
Are you kidding me? Tianfeng City is going against the guards here. Is this a way to seek death?
Upon hearing this, the guards hurriedly drove a group of teenagers towards the city. From time to time, they looked back at Li Xiuyuan who was standing under the arch. This was the first time they had seen such a situation.
