Shuzi panicked and instantly fell behind Li Xiuyuan. Because the ground was filled with yellow sand, she didn't feel any pain at all.
But when she pressed her face against the yellow sand and listened to the sound of iron arrows piercing the air above her head, she couldn't help but sigh silently in her heart.
Although he has some cultivation skills, he doesn't have the ability to deal with the enemy.
The mountain pass leading to Prince Village was filled with the angry shouts and shouts of the bandits, as well as the leader's orders.
The bandits who were attacked instantly changed their tactics and used their own bows and arrows to shoot intensively at the pass.
Whoosh whoosh!
A burst of iron arrows flew towards the pass crazily, and many of them flew towards Li Xiuyuan who was standing in the darkness.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at Shuzi who was lying on the ground behind him without saying a word, but the bow and arrow in his hand did not stop. Three arrows flew towards the charging bandits one after another!
The iron arrow shot through the air, and immediately on the mountain road there were the muffled grunts of the bandits who had been hit by the arrows, the mournful sounds of horses, and various sounds mixed together, making the previously peaceful night suddenly become eerie and terrifying.
"Stop! Stop!" Seeing a hail of arrows flying with no results, a man in black stopped the bandits' charge!
The moonlight fell at the pass, allowing the bandit leader who rushed up to see clearly Li Xiuyuan standing on the roadside, dressed in black.
He's just a young man, not worthy of his charge with such fanfare!
The man in black on the horse came up slowly. A sharp long sword was pulled out from the man in black's sheath and pointed quietly at Li Xiuyuan, who was only ten feet away from him.
He shouted coldly: "Where is this wild boy who dares to stand in the way of the uncle?"
Before Li Xiuyuan could reply, his horse rushed over like a bolt of lightning. One moment, he was on the long mountain road filled with yellow sand, and the next moment, he arrived at the intersection at the pass.
The long sword in his hand was pointed at Li Xiuyuan, who was motionless, and he shouted angrily: "I heard that a young man killed dozens of our brothers, is it you?"
Li Xiuyuan saw that the bandits stopped attacking, glanced at the man in black, and stretched out his hand to help Shuzi stand up.
After thinking for a while, he placed the bow and arrow in his hand on the ground beside his legs, and silently took out an ordinary long sword.
He looked at the man in black and said, "Actually, I really want to know, where are you from?"
The man in black was so powerful that he roared angrily and shattered the fallen leaves beside the pass. The long sword in his hand slashed out a stream of sword energy, causing the yellow sand in front of Li Xiuyuan to fly into the sky.
He said coldly: "As a dying man, I might as well tell you that we are from the Ma family in Dunhuang City!"
Li Xiuyuan looked at the man in black on the horse, his face as calm as a stone sculpture changed slightly, and a flash of lightning flashed from the depths of his memory.
I couldn't help but ask: "Is this the Ma family who betrayed Da Qin and fled from Mingyue City to live with the Huns?"
He was nowhere to be found after breaking through the iron hoof, but he didn't expect to get the news about the assassination of his Ma family all the way that day.
For a reason that was not a reason, he actually colluded with the Lord of Mingyue City to hunt down himself, Meng Mei and others...
"Looking for death! How dare you, a kid, to speak nonsense about the name of our ancestors!" The man in black was on the verge of going berserk, and was about to swing his sword to kill in the next moment.
Li Xiuyuan smiled: "Back then, the Ma family was a troublemaker in Mingyue City. Unexpectedly, they actually started a bandit business in the desert. Today, you can all stay!"
"Brother, don't nag with that guy. Kill him with one sword and avenge your brothers!"
"Kill that kid and let the dead brothers speak out for themselves!"
Shuzi stood behind Li Xiuyuan, looking at the hundreds of people and horses on the mountain road. She couldn't help but feel a little excited, and asked softly: "No survivors?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "I am not a government official!"
With just one sentence, Shuzi understood what her elder brother was thinking. She stopped talking, put the bow and arrow on the ground, and quietly took out her long sword.
"So, you can go die!"
The man in black on the horse slapped the horse's back and turned into a big black bird, slashing a fierce sword energy from the air towards Li Xiuyuan who was standing still!
When the sword comes out, there is wind and thunder.
However, even if the enemy's sword energy was like a rainbow, there was still no expression on Li Xiuyuan's face, only indifference and coldness.
The man in black in the air shouted loudly: "Go to hell!"
"Dang!" sounded in the night sky, and the two swords met in the air. Li Xiuyuan's long sword was cut into two pieces by the sword in the hand of the man in black!
In Shuzi's exclamation, the half-cut sword in Li Xiuyuan's hand pierced the air, cut off the energy in front of the man in black, and stabbed into the chest of the man in black in an instant!
Then he punched out with his left hand, sending the man in black flying into the air!
A blood arrow swayed in the night sky, and the man in black let out a miserable roar: "This is impossible!" Then he flew down the pass like a fallen leaf.
Perhaps in the eyes of the man in black, his long sword has cut off the opponent's long sword! And he also hurt the other party.
How can an enemy's broken sword pierce his own body-protecting aura!
This is absolutely impossible!
At this moment, Shuzi exclaimed: "Brother, you are injured!"
This was the first time Shuzi saw her eldest brother injured since Da Qin met Li Xiuyuan, and she was so anxious that she screamed desperately.
"The boss is dead, brothers, kill him!"
"Kill that man, avenge the boss, and bring the woman back to Dunhuang City!"
"Come on! Brothers!"
The bandits in the dark night issued a call for attack and rushed towards the pass on horseback. They saw that the two of them were about to be killed on the spot by the bandits' sharp swords!
However, the charging bandits suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon, because the horses under them suddenly stopped, and time seemed to have stopped.
Then they heard a sigh.
Rays of golden light shot out from both sides of the mountain road, looking even more weird under the pale moonlight at night!
The buzzing sound was endless, and just when the bandits felt that time had returned, the horses roared and galloped towards the pass...
Some bandits found that their arms suddenly flew out, some found that their horses had run ahead, and some even felt a cool breeze blowing on their chests!
Pieces of golden light as thin as cicada wings stuck to the bandits' bodies, penetrated into their chests, cut through the horses' limbs, and left a faint trace in the wind.
Until a golden light spread for two miles like a long dragon on the mountain road under the pass.
Waves of shocking calls sounded in the night wind.
There were the shrill screams of the bandits after being hit by the sword, and the neighing of horses falling to the ground. Before the hundreds of bandits could recover, a golden flame swept from the bottom of the mountain.
In just ten breaths, a fire dragon burned through the entire bandit team.
Sitting quietly on the ground, Li Xiuyuan looked at everything in front of him with neither joy nor sorrow!
He knew that in less than half an hour, when the villagers heard the news and rushed here, the flames on the mountain road would be extinguished.
Sighing, Li Xiuyuan said coldly: "Shuzi, release your consciousness... You can't let a bandit escape, use your bow and arrow to deal with the fish that slipped through the net."
Shuzi gritted her teeth and replied quietly: "Brother, don't worry!"
Then he picked up the bow and arrow on the ground and aimed it at the long mountain road, looking for the bandits who wanted to escape under the night!
Li Xiuyuan sighed, took out the gold wound medicine and applied it to the wound on his chest.
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't understand. He was already at the fifth level of the phaseless golden body. How could he be hurt by a bandit?
Even a bandit in the Nascent Soul Realm can't hurt his body with the sword in his hand?
He had already tried this in Da Qin, but he didn't expect that when he came to Da Zhou, he would be severely wounded by the black-clothed leader's sword.
After much deliberation, there is only one explanation, which is that the power of his Buddhist body was imprisoned by the heavenly laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Listening to Shuzi's whizzing iron arrows, Li Xiuyuan looked up at the midnight starry sky and murmured to himself: "Master, do you want to change time and space and take back some of the disciple's cultivation?"
Naturally, there was no voice of the old Taoist priest in the night sky, only the beeping sound of the flames in the mountains.
If he had known this, why would he use his body to fight the bandits here?
Fortunately, the sky is full of stars today, and the stars are like rain, falling quietly on Li Xiuyuan's body, making him feel the slightest chill, and the wound on his chest is slowly healing.
Quietly releasing his spiritual consciousness and scanning the long mountain road, Li Xiuyuan put away the bow and arrows on the ground.
"Let's go back."
Li Xiuyuan stood up from the ground, looked at the gradually extinguishing flames on the mountain path, and said to Shuzi: "Let the people from Prince Village clean this place."
"We don't want it anymore?"
Upon hearing this, Shuzi put away her weapons, came over to support Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Brother, how are your injuries? Let's go back quickly and show you."
"It's okay, I was just careless!"
Li Xiuyuan took Shuzi's hand and walked towards the village, while smiling: "The villagers in Prince Village have the swords of the bandits, so they can try to protect their homes."
As Shuzi said, bandits are endless, and there will be new bandits in a few decades.
Just like Prince Dan wiped out all the bandits near the Great Wall, it cannot stop more bandits from emerging over the years.
Like a wild wolf in the wilderness.
When he returned to the yard, Hui Ming was already snoring. Even the battle at the pass outside the village failed to enter his dream.
In Li Xiuyuan's view, people without cultivation can still enjoy the beauty of the present moment.
"Sister, please go and have a rest. I'll lie down here and take a rest." Li Xiuyuan moved the lounge chair in the living room under the eaves, intending to bathe in the starlight and think about his thoughts.
"Do you want Shuzi to help with the eldest brother's wound?" Shuzi was worried about Li Xiuyuan's injury, but she saw with her own eyes a streak of blood flying out of the eldest brother's chest.
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "No need."
Seeing Shuzi wash up and go back to the house to rest, Li Xiuyuan whispered to the old man in the village: "I will take someone to clean up the items on the mountain road at the pass outside the village tomorrow..."
The old man in the dream was startled and murmured: "The bandits are here again?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly: "It should be said that no bandits will come to disturb your peaceful life in the future."
In his opinion, Prince Village will be quiet for at least a few decades, and he has no control over future events.
The old man trembled and said in a daze: "In that case, I have to thank you sir."
With a wry smile, Li Xiuyuan stared at the moon in the night sky and stared blankly.
He murmured: "Master, if the disciple's phaseless golden body is banned, wouldn't it mean that Xiao Hei's divine fire cannot be used? Is it dangerous for me to leave him alone in the palace?"
Until he leaned back on the chair and fell into a deep sleep, Fang heard Taoist Li's voice in his dream: "Don't forget why you came to Dazhou."
Half asleep and half awake, Li Xiuyuan murmured back: "Disciple understands, I'm just afraid that Xiao Hei is in danger."
The old Taoist priest smiled lightly: "You have chosen to let go, so why tie him to your side? He also has his own way to go, so don't worry about him for the time being."
"Master, was my disciple's trip to the desert wrong? Shouldn't he have saved the emperor's life? Or shouldn't he have killed the bandit who caused harm to the other party?"
Seeing that his cultivation level, which he had finally broken through, was imprisoned, Li Xiuyuan was a little angry.
The old Taoist priest replied: "You have already done it, and you still come to ask what you have done for me. How could you not kill first and then report it?"
"What about Xiao Hei?" Li Xiuyuan felt that his eyelids were getting heavier.
The old Taoist priest sighed and said: "It won't be long before Xiao Hei will leave the imperial city!"
