Shao Xi still had some room for action in his confrontation with Ding Yuan just now. Although Ding Yu'an has entered the third level, you must know that Shao Xi has already entered the "qi control realm". This is not just a gap of one grade, but a gap of a whole realm. If Shao Xi had just used all his strength, Ding Yuan would probably be dead or disabled at this moment. Because Shao Xi always felt that Ding Yuan did not look like a horse bandit, but rather that he had to serve these horse bandits because of some difficulties. Such a person's sin will not lead to death.
But facing Shi Jintang Shao Xi, he had no worries. Although Shao Xi had never killed anyone, judging from the woman he captured, it was very likely that her family had died under his knife. Shao Xi would not feel too burdened if he really wanted to kill such ruthless gangsters as they were, because they deserved to die.
This Shi Jintang is not a simple character either. In fact, he is also a third-level martial artist. The reason why he did not let the twenty or so people under his command swarm him is because through the fight between Shao Xi and Ding Yuan just now, he can see that Shao Xi is not someone to be trifled with. character of. The few stinky fish and rotten shrimps under his hands would be dead even if they went up, so he planned to do it himself.
As the saying goes, officials have their own official ways, and bandits have their own gangster ways. Whether they are mountain bandits gathering in the mountains or horse bandits roaming the frontiers, they all understand that it is difficult to establish personal prestige by letting their subordinates solve everything, so when they encounter some difficult bones, they must solve them personally to establish their prestige. . No matter which industry you are in, if you want to be a leader, you must have the ability and courage to take the lead, otherwise you will just be an errand boy. Although Shi Jintang knew at this moment that Shao Xi was not easy to mess with, the other party had openly challenged him. If he still wanted to gain a foothold in the Yelangpo area in the future, he would have to do it even if he had to bite the bullet.
"Boy, don't say that I bully you. Let me tell you in advance. I am now at the peak of the third level. You may not know that one day I will become a master of the "Qi Control Realm". Seeing that you are young, don't know the depth. Move up. I'll just kill them and not bury them."
Shao Xix was happy. It seemed that there was a reason why the bandits in movies and TV were talkative. It turned out that the prototypes really had this kind of virtue.
"Who is that? Your name is Shijintang, right? Are your parents selling sugar? If your parents are selling salt, do you want to be called Shijintang? Why do you talk so much nonsense?"
When Shi Jintang heard what Shao Xi said, his beard became so angry. His name has been laughed at since he was a child, and now he is being ridiculed by such a young man across from him. This is really something that both uncle and aunt can't bear. Then he drew out the long knife from his waist, shouted loudly, and slashed at Shao Xi diagonally. I saw a big, powerful gray sword flying straight out, and it was obvious that it wanted to split the opponent into two pieces diagonally.
The master of the sword kills, and most people who practice sword skills practice killing intent. Therefore, Shi Jintang's sword was swift and fierce, full of murderous intent, and he vowed to kill the opponent in one blow.
As soon as the sword was released, Shao Xi felt the bloody aura. He understood that Shi Jintang's blow was with all his strength and was intended to end his life in one move. This is completely different from Ding Yuan's attack just now. Although Ding Yuan's spear is sharp, it does not have such a bloody and killing spirit. Facing such a crazy attack from Shi Jintang, Shao Xi also had a strong desire to kill in his heart at this moment.
The Cuiyu Sword was unsheathed again. The difference from the previous fight with Ding Yuan is that this time, as the Cuiyu sword was unsheathed, three sword qi flew out instantly. These three sword qi came first and then, connected back and forth, and were faster than the previous sword. More energy. I saw these three sword energy flying straight towards Shi Jintang's sword.
boom……
boom……
"ah!"
Shi Jintang's "ah" was short and urgent. There was surprise and shock in it, but more of it was fear. He would never understand until his death why the young man in front of him, who looked young and cynical, could easily neutralize his full blow with one sword and send him directly to hell.
puff……
Shi Jintang's body was split in half evenly from the central axis of the body by Shao Xi's sword energy. The left half of the body lying on the ground blinked and looked at the right half of the body that also fell on the ground. The right half of the body also blinked and looked at the left half of the body, seeming unwilling to part ways like this.
Blood and internal organs were sprayed and scattered all over the floor. The scene was indeed inappropriate for children.
At this time, Ding Yuan, who was watching the fight on the sidelines, was completely stunned. He could clearly see the entire fight from the side.
The three sword energies wielded by Shao Xi were lined up in front and back, connected end to end, and they were extremely fast. The first sword energy met Shi Jintang's sword and collided with each other, causing the energy to cancel each other out. When the second sword energy flew in front of Shi Jintang, Shi Jintang had no time to dodge, so he had to concentrate his inner energy and release it outwards. He used an air shield to resist, but the air shield was broken by the second sword energy; the third sword energy that followed directly hit Shi Jintang's body, splitting him in half.
All this was done in a flash of lightning. Ding Yuan felt that everything was over before he could react. He couldn't imagine whether he could still be standing here if the other party had used such a sword when he fought against Shao Xi. At this time, in his heart, the previous gaze he had on Shao Xi had completely turned into one of looking up. This young man who looked younger than himself had actually become an insurmountable mountain in front of him, and he could only look up.
Not only Ding Yuan, but everyone present was stunned by the scene in front of them, including Lao Wu. The group of horse bandits were generally first- and second-grade martial arts practitioners, and some even did not understand martial arts at all. They followed Shi Jintang just to earn a living. In the past, in their eyes, a third-level master like Shi Jintang was already an invincible existence in the world they knew, but at this moment, he was easily and casually split in half by the young man in green. This is really unimaginable.
"Why don't you leave? Wait until I treat you to dinner?" Shao Xi said casually as he sheathed his sword.
At this time, the horse bandits realized that if they didn't leave, the young man in front of them didn't know who they were going to operate on. So he fled in a hurry on horseback, only hating his parents for giving him two legs. That’s not right, they are all riding horses now! He could only regret that his young master Ma had two legs.
Ding Yu'an looked at Shao Xi, then looked down at Shi Jintang's body on the ground, shook his head, sighed softly, and turned around to leave.
"Brother Ding, please stay! I think Brother Ding probably doesn't want to go back to the horse bandit's den at this time. I wonder what Brother Ding's next plans are?" Shao Xi called out to Ding Yu'an.
Ding Yu'an shook his head helplessly and said: "Of course I will not return to that den of thieves. I went to seek refuge before just because I was desperate and wanted a place to stay. Now that the matter has come to this, I have to take one step at a time before talking."
"I think Brother Ding is not a treacherous person. He must have something unspeakable. I wonder if Brother Ding would be willing to change places with us and sit down and chat slowly. What do you think?"
Ding Yuan nodded and did not object. Then he turned to look at the two "pieces" of corpses in Shi Jintang on the ground and said, "Should we bury him first?"
"It's not necessary. Did he ever bury the people he killed? Such people waste air when alive and waste land when dead. Let's stay here to feed the wolves!"
Some people may think that Shao Xi is too cold-blooded and cruel. Shao Xi has lived in the grassland for ten years and has adapted to the rules of survival on the grassland. He is cold-blooded and ruthless. Sooner or later, those who kill innocent people will be treated equally cruelly by others. Shao Xi would not pretend to be benevolent and talk about "the dead are the greatest". This thing of benevolence, righteousness and morality is only for people with benevolence, righteousness and morality, and is completely unnecessary for those "animals".
Shi Jintang once said, "Kill, don't bury," and now his dream has come true.
Ding Yu'an didn't express any objection to this, but pointed to the tied woman on the ground and asked: "What should she do?"
Only then did Shao Xi remember that there was a living person here! So he stepped forward to loosen the woman's bonds and pulled out the ball of cloth from her mouth.
The woman was still in shock. Although her hair was disheveled and her face was full of tears, she could tell from her appearance and clothing that she was a good-looking woman from a well-off family.
The woman pulled off the rope on her body, hurriedly came to the front of several people, knelt down on the ground and said with great gratitude: "Thank you so many righteous men for rescuing me. If it hadn't been for your rescue, my little girl would have been lost today." Innocent. For such a great kindness, I don’t know how to repay it? I kowtow to some martyrs.”
After saying that, the woman kept kowtowing to several people like a chicken pecking at rice, causing several elders to be at a loss what to do. This late at night, when facing a strange woman, it was neither right nor wrong to help her. In the end, it was Old Wu who relied on his age to reach out and help the woman up.
"Which family are you a girl from? Why did you appear here late at night and be kidnapped here by horse bandits?" Old Wu asked.
The woman glanced at Ding Yuan timidly, seeming to be very afraid of him.
"Ahem!" Ding Yu'an coughed twice awkwardly and said, "Let me tell you. I just took refuge in Yelangpo today, and Shi Jintang led us all out tonight to rob the resting caravan. This woman is Shi Jintang was just kidnapped here from the caravan not far ahead."
"Well, there is indeed a caravan nearby. I wonder if there are any family members of the girl in this caravan?" Old Wu asked the woman after hearing this.
"My daughter Zhang Wan and her father Zhang Huanzhi are the big shopkeepers of Taihe Trading Company in Daliang City, Kyoto. This time, my father said he had important goods, so he came to the grassland with the caravan himself."
"Taihe Trading Company! That is one of the largest trading houses in the Jingyuan Empire. Even their caravan dares to rob. This Shi Jintang is indeed brave enough. However, Taihe Trading Company's caravan should be accompanied by a large number of guards, why do you still Captured?"
"This..." Zhang Wan hesitated, her face full of shyness.
Shao Xi interjected from the side: "Old Wu, you are really nosy, why do you need to ask?"
Lao Wu was confused by Shao Xi and asked, "Do you know?"
"What can a woman do alone on this grassland at night?"
"Oh——!" Old Wu understood.
Only Ding Yuan looked confused.
