"Crane, Crane Wing Formation!" Xue Tong shouted angrily in panic.
He had never seen such a scene before.
As an infantry instructor, he not only taught formations, but also occasionally taught siege techniques. For example, if you hold a tree and rush towards the city gate, a big tree like this requires at least four or five people to hug it together to exert the power of the collision.
But the giant man in front of him acted alone... it made no sense.
Bang.
The spread crane wings array, with the collision of the big trees, the right wing seemed to be broken, and four or five officers and soldiers were knocked backwards.
"Xue Tou, I can't stop it..."
"Retract your wings!" Xue Tong gritted his teeth and quickly dispersed the array. He held the ring knife upside down and rolled away from the colliding trees.
belch!
Xue Tonggang raised his knife to chop, but unexpectedly, he discovered another terrible thing.
The giant man only held the tree with one hand, and then used another hand to hold the ring knife he had chopped down.
Xue Tong's eyes widened suddenly, and he tried twice in succession. When he found that he could not chop another inch, he simply drew his knife and turned around, trembling and stepping aside.
Nowhere in the world have I seen such brute force.
"Raise the bow!"
Not caring about forming a formation, Xue Tong shouted in a hurry. The group of ordinary people in front of him completely exceeded his expectations.
No wonder he dared to promise a thousand taels of silver.
A thousand taels of silver, just take one end?
This is no small business owner. He is more ferocious than the old bandits.
For a time, the remaining dozen or so officers and soldiers quickly took up their bows, twisted their arrows, and shot at Si Hu who was hugging the tree.
"Quick! Shoot him!"
There were only scattered arrows, unable to shoot forward, and their lethality was almost negligible.
"Xue Tou!"
Xue Tong turned around in astonishment and was stunned on the spot. At some point, the young boss, along with three or four villagers, appeared coldly at the rear.
Two or three corpses, with bows in their hands, fell to the ground covered with rotten grass and dead branches.
The remaining seven or eight officers and soldiers could still get up, but they were so frightened that they wanted to flee out of the forest.
"Don't run!" Xue Tong was shocked and angry.
After raising the knife, Xue Tong's hand began to shake unconsciously.
In the past, he had fought six heroes alone, and he was never so panicked. But it happened that a small brewer made him feel a chill in his scalp for the first time.
As he raised the knife, Xue Tong's face turned fierce. He knew very well that in this situation, the little boss would definitely not leave him alive.
"I am an officer!"
"Kill the officers and soldiers too!"
Xu Mu wiped away the blood on his face and spoke in a deep voice. At this point, if this group of officers and soldiers were allowed to leave the forest and cross Changjia Town, it would definitely be a disaster.
"Zhou Zun, clear the place."
Zhou Zun nodded, led his men, and coldly pursued the fleeing officers and soldiers.
"Chop you first!"
Xue Tong was furious, and in desperation, seeing no one around Xu Mu, he raised his sword to kill him. Unexpectedly, after taking only a few steps, he could no longer move.
He turned his head hastily and found that at some point, the giant man had arrived behind him, holding his shoulder coldly with a hand.
Click.
The knife that was slashed back was cut off by the giant man's hand.
The breath of death spread instantly.
"Little boss, I am... an officer."
"If you let me go back, I will definitely say nothing! My little boss, I will also help you kill the four major families!"
"Little boss, I, I understand my mistake."
Xu Mu closed his eyes coldly, then turned around, holding his sword and walking out of the forest.
Si Hu bulged his eyes and struck down with a heavy palm.
…
The screams echoed throughout the forest.
"Let's go! Let's go!"
"Woo, what kind of little boss is this? It's a mountain ghost who chopped off his head!"
Only the last two officers and soldiers were left, staggering and crawling out of the forest.
"Go, go!"
The five officers and soldiers who were still looking at the horse had confused expressions on their faces, but they were just killing a few market men. What was going on?
"Let's go! Get, get the horse! Get the horse quickly!" An officer and soldier who ran out shouted frantically with a trembling voice.
The sound just fell——
Three or four arrows were shot from the forest, and the two officers and soldiers who were watching the horses were shot to pieces in the chest.
The remaining people were suddenly frightened and hurriedly drew out their knives.
"Mount your horse! Escape!"
"Then the young master dares to kill the officers and soldiers!"
The last five officers and soldiers hurriedly cut off the ropes, got on their horses, and fled out of the mountain road.
"Don't worry, boss, I'll chase you right away!"
With two young men in tow, Zhou Zun and the others also got on their horses and roared forward.
Xu Mu stood in front of the forest, clenching his fists coldly.
If this wave cannot be dealt with, a disaster will surely follow.
"Brother Mu, Zhou Luo can't hold it any longer!" Si Hu hugged a figure and shouted anxiously.
Previously, Zhou Luo was hiding in a tree and shooting kerosene arrows, but he never thought that he would be hit by an arrow from Xue Tong and fall from a high place, almost to the point of death.
There was another young man who was also seriously injured and lay unconscious on the ground. Others also had wounds of various sizes from swords and arrows.
Xu Mu took a few steps forward, checked Zhou Luo's injuries, and breathed a sigh of relief. There was no big problem, he just went into shock due to blood loss and temporarily passed out.
"Brother Mu, there are many horses here. There are also many weapons left behind by the officers and soldiers in the forest."
"Si Hu, go and put away all the weapons, dig a place and bury them. Remember to mark them."
These things, no matter what, cannot be taken back now. Unless it means that one day they fall into the trap of a bandit and don't care about anything else, they will take it out and use it again.
He raised his head and glanced at the sky. In a short while, it would be dawn.
Without further delay, Xu Mu walked back to the forest. After picking up their weapons, Xu Mu and Si Hu piled the dead officers and soldiers together.
Two people who were seriously injured but not dead were wailing and begging Xu Mu for mercy.
Xu Mu coldly drew his sword and stabbed them all to death.
When he sheathed his sword, his whole chest felt nauseated, and he couldn't help but cough loudly.
"Brother Mu...are you okay?"
"fine."
After calming down, Xu Mu continued to move the body with a calm expression.
Not long after.
The sound of several galloping horses came quickly from a distance.
Zhou Zun led two young men, both with sullen expressions, as they moved the five corpses on horseback back and forth into the forest.
"Master, what about those horses?"
It would be a pity if more than twenty good horses were killed and burned.
"Zhou Zun, take your horse to the nearby woods first and wait for news from me."
If they really want to turn into bandits, these official horses will naturally be taken away together. On the other hand, if the killing of officials is not exposed, these horses will have to find another way to deal with it.
"Brother Mu, where shall we go later?"
Xu Mu lowered his head and looked slightly hesitant. Ahead was a cliff and a deep mountain, and along the way he came, he was in the direction of Changjia Town.
He couldn't understand Tsuneshiro's meaning. If this harms him, if he just reports it, the whole Xujiazhuang will be destroyed.
"Xiao Dong's family! Xu Dong's family! My young master said that after a hard night's work, we can go to Changjia Town to rest temporarily."
Under the bright sky.
A cold figure on a horse reined in his horse and stopped at the intersection, shouting loudly.
Xu Mu frowned slightly and asked Si Hu to drive the carriage out, and picked up the two wounded people along the way.
"Fire."
Zhou Zun nodded and threw the torch in his hand into the forest. With the help of kerosene, a small area of the forest burned in an instant.
The smell of fishy meat stung Xu Mu's nose.
The unknown fate, like a dark cloud that cannot be dispelled, hangs heavily on my heart.
