The vast desert is different from the Central Plains. In the Central Plains, there are small towns and villages every tens to less than a hundred miles.
There is only endless desert here.
What he saw in front of him reminded Li Xiuyuan of the time when he was walking in the wasteland with Overlord Chen to send Qin Miaoyu to get married in the Shura Realm.
Even if it were a different starry sky, the situation would still be similar.
Unable to find a village where they could stay overnight, the two had no choice but to lead the horses and continue forward, thinking of finding a leeward place to spend the night when the moon rose.
It was the first time for both of them to come here, and neither of them had much experience, so they just moved forward based on their intuition.
In the vast darkness, not far from the two of them, there was a forest of dwarf Populus euphratica.
There are a few scattered tents set up here, as if passing merchants and pedestrians are spending the night here.
The fires in the camp gradually extinguished, and presumably these people had fallen asleep.
Under the faint starlight, there were three dark figures moving quietly in the Populus euphratica forest. If you looked closely, they turned out to be three men in black.
The three of them looked like bandits in the desert, because the bandits would not send out only three people.
These three men in black were actually a group of retainers that Mr. Ma took away when he fled Mingyue City overnight.
These guys knew that they would not be able to survive in Mingyue City because of their master's offense against His Highness the Crown Prince of Qin, so they had no choice but to follow the Huns.
How could life in the desert be so miserable, where could one be as nourishing as Mingyue City?
So these guys couldn't help but start robbing homes and houses, taking advantage of the darkness of night to rob pedestrians and merchants passing by in the wasteland.
Today I couldn't wait until a group of merchants passed by, and I became a fat sheep in their eyes. I was so excited that I couldn't control myself.
Because they were used to enjoying Mingyue City, they had developed certain habits.
But it was obvious that Mr. Ma could no longer satisfy some of their habits, so they focused their attention on the pedestrians on the wasteland.
The three men moved very carefully, and it was obviously not the first time they had carried out an assassination.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a faint stream of blood floated in the wind, heading towards the wasteland.
The old man and Li Xiuyuan smelled the bloody smell almost at the same time.
The old man looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "I felt a bloody breath, it should be not far ahead."
Li Xiuyuan looked up at the moon hidden in the dark clouds, frowned and said, "Go and have a look, it's right in front."
The old man looked a little puzzled and asked, "How could there be blood in such a night?"
The consciousness released by Li Xiuyuan has locked onto the three men in black. He spread his hands and said, "There are bandits in front of us, maybe killers. We need to get there quickly..."
Before he finished speaking, he handed the reins in his hand to the old man and turned into a breeze and swept into the Populus euphratica forest.
The moment the three men in black finished clearing a tent and got out of the tent.
Suddenly, they saw a mother and son standing quietly in front of an unextinguished fire not far away from them. Looking at the man in black emerging from the tent, the mother and son stood up in front of the fire in an instant.
Between life and death, the woman in front of the fire pushed her child away and shouted to run, then raised the arrow in her hand and shot at the three men in black!
This is the natural instinct of motherhood, she wants to protect her children in the most dangerous time.
With a whoosh, the sharp crossbow arrows instantly hit the three men in black.
One of the men in black snorted coldly, waved his hand and knocked the crossbow arrows fired by the woman to the ground with his long sword. After all, the woman was just an ordinary hunter, how could she compare with the three monks?
The man in black knocked down the crossbow and rushed towards the woman with a roar.
Another man in black swept past like a whirlwind and headed towards the running little boy. In just a moment, he dragged the boy back to the front of the fire.
"Seeking death!" The man in black roared, stepped forward and knocked the crossbow out of the woman's hand, sending her flying away.
The woman was instantly knocked to the ground. Although her injuries were not fatal, she watched helplessly as her child bit the man in black, only to be slapped unconscious by the man in black.
Under the grief in his heart, he couldn't help but let out a painful cry of death.
With a clanking sound, the man in black, who had been bitten by the little boy, unsheathed his long sword and tried to chop it down on the little boy's head.
The moment the long sword slashed down, a whirlwind whipped up in front of the fire, sweeping the little boy on the ground away from the fire and out of the sight of the three men in black.
The three men in black turned their heads, because they only heard the sound of horses' hooves, but could not hear the breathing of other people at all. They did not expect that there were other monks in the camp.
Because Li Xiuyuan didn't want the three of them to hear his breathing, these three guys couldn't hear it.
The old man who came from behind saw that Li Xiuyuan did not take action, so he created a whirlwind and saved the child under the sword of the man in black.
In his eyes, the three men in black in front of him were nothing at all.
He was thinking the same thing as Li Xiuyuan, wanting to know whether these three were passing killers or bandits in the desert?
Before the man in black could speak, the old man put the boy on the ground and handed the reins to his hand.
He smiled and said, "Tie the horse up for me, can you?"
When the little boy came back to his senses and saw the savior, he nodded desperately and walked with two horses to the poplar tree not far away.
The old man looked at the woman lying beside the fire, frowned slightly and said, "Where did this killer come from?"
The three men in black remained silent because they not only saw the old man, but also Li Xiuyuan who was hiding in the darkness not far away.
Although they could not feel the fluctuation of true energy from Li Xiuyuan, they could feel the coldness of Li Xiuyuan.
Even colder than the old man who took action in front of him.
Just when the old man was considering whether to take action, one of the men in black said: "You are not Huns, why are you helping these guys?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned. He heard something from this guy's mouth, that is, the Huns the three of them robbed had nothing to do with him.
The old man was stunned and replied coldly: "Although we are not Huns, we will not let you run rampant in the desert and kill people at will."
Before the old man finished speaking, the leader of the men in black interrupted him coldly and said, "We are killing Huns and have nothing to do with you."
Another masked man in black said coldly: "Since you are from the Central Plains, you should not care about the life and death of these Huns."
The last man in black said indifferently: "We are doing justice for heaven, don't you know?"
The three men in black spoke very quickly, as if the old man and Li Xiuyuan in front of them were men of the Central Plains and should not interfere with their mission to kill the Huns in the desert.
The voices of the three people talking became louder and louder, as if they were scolding the two people in front of them, and they seemed to be emboldening themselves.
Li Xiuyuan, who was hiding in the dark, didn't even bother to take a step forward. In his opinion, it was enough to leave these three guys to the old man.
After all, to the old man after breaking through the realm, the three people in front of him are just like three clowns.
The old man said coldly: "I only have women and children in my eyes, not the Huns."
Then he looked at the three men in black and said, "I still have to go on my way, so you can wipe your necks and die. Don't embarrass me, an old man, okay?"
He spoke in a serious tone, so it sounded funny.
And the three men in black have killed countless passing merchants in the desert these days. They have become accustomed to such happy days.
The old man in front of them actually asked him to commit suicide by wiping his neck. This was the most incredible thing in the eyes of the three of them.
Because they couldn't understand the old man's cultivation, just like they couldn't understand Li Xiuyuan.
Thinking that the two people in front of them were crazier than them, they actually used their mortal bodies to block the Golden Core Realm monks.
This is absolutely impossible.
Looking at the calm old man in front of them, the three of them just felt funny. They felt that they had been humiliated like never before since they started practicing Buddhism, so they were very angry.
They wanted to chop off the old man's head with a knife, and then deal with Li Xiuyuan, who was silent in the darkness.
The old man couldn't see the burning eyes of the three people, but he felt the fluctuations of the true energy on the three people's bodies, as well as the gentle trembling of the swords in the hands of the three people.
The old man thought for a moment and said expressionlessly: "If you don't take action, I will."
"Old guy, you're looking for death!"
One of the men in black said without emotion: "Send your heads and I will let this mother and son go!"
Before he finished speaking, three men in black flew towards the old man. Before the old man could react, they cut out the swords in their hands and at the same time dropped a black object on the old man's head.
Li Xiuyuan was stunned in the darkness and blurted out: "Fishing nets can also kill people? What kind of secret is this?"
Only old people who have been walking in the rivers and lakes for a long time know that the man in black is not holding an ordinary fishing net.
Instead, it was covered with thorns and nails. If he tried to block it with his hands, he would probably end up covered in blood and flesh.
Looking at the scene in front of him, anger finally flashed across the old man's calm eyes.
But before he could take out his long sword, Li Xiuyuan in the darkness had already taken action.
A black lightning flashed past, and the fishing net thrown by the three men in black instantly shot into the air.
There was a clanking sound, which was obviously the collision of thorns and iron nails, making a crisp sound.
Before the fishing net could fall from the sky, it exploded in mid-air!
Tsk tsk tsk!
Countless thorns and nails flew in all directions with a huge explosion. Hundreds of tiny crossbow arrows were shot towards the three black men in the dark night.
The reason why this happened was not because the fishing nets of the three men in black were in vain.
But in the darkness, Li Xiuyuan hates killer bandits most in his life for using hidden weapons to hurt people!
Seeing that the unsuspecting old man was about to be injured by the three killers' fishing nets, Li Xiuyuan, who had a bow and arrow in hand, was so angry that he immediately shot a talisman arrow that was not usually used easily!
Killing the fishing net with one arrow is just the beginning.
Li Xiuyuan is more powerful than the three killers in black. Once he starts taking action, the thorns and nails on the fishing net will become sharp arrows for the three men in black to kill and steal the soul!
Never give up until you see life or death.
When the old man saw that Li Xiuyuan had taken action, he would not be soft-hearted in anger. The long sword in his hand slashed at the three men in black with a sharp sword energy!
The swords struck by the two men in black who rushed forward were first interrupted by explosions, and then the sword energy of the old man made a clanging sound.
It broke into pieces in the blink of an eye, and that wasn't all, because the sword energy was still slashing forward!
The angry old man just slashed with his sword, the simplest sword, and cut two bloody holes in the chests of the two men in black who rushed forward.
It was only at this moment that the two men in black, who were still staring at death, murmured to themselves: "So... you are a great monk..."
Then he threw himself to the ground unwillingly, and died in front of the old man under the gaze of Li Xiuyuan and the little man not far away.
"What the hell!" The remaining man in black flew backwards into the darkness. He was so distraught that he just wanted to turn into a breeze and escape from this place.
There was a crisp sound, and the sternum of the man in black was completely shattered.
Li Xiuyuan flew up to him in the darkness like a ghost, punched him in the chest, knocked him away and fell in front of the old man.
Li Xiuyuan slowly stepped forward and asked, "Tell me, where did you come from as killers!? I have many ways to make you speak."
"We are the Ma family of Mingyue City... If you dare to kill me, King Shanyu of Yuezhi City will avenge us..."
Before the word "hate" could be uttered from the man in black's mouth, his body instantly started to burn.
Li Xiuyuan said coldly: "Even if the Chanyu is here, he can't save you!"
