The bearded bandit leader nodded proudly, not paying any attention to the driver who was blocking the road in the middle of the road.
"How dare you speak rudely to my young lady? Let me see if I don't rip off your tongue and break your neck." The coachman slowly pulled out a short knife half an arm's length from behind.
He took out the long knife from its sheath and looked at the bandit leader, his aura instantly surged.
He has changed from a secretive coachman to a swordsman with peerless martial arts.
The bandit leader raised his eyebrows. Feeling the change in the driver's aura, he was surprised to find that there was a person standing in the middle of the road.
Good guy, it turns out that before, I had all my eyes on Lu Yaoyao.
I have to say that with a girl as smart as Lu Yaoyao, the entire Shizhou City can probably be counted on two hands.
It was not easy to get such a little sheep to his mouth today, and the bandit leader would not let it go no matter what.
He looked at the driver standing in the middle of the road, in front of Tao Ziming.
The more he watched, the more frightened he became, and then he was surprised to find that the opponent's skills were definitely not inferior to his own.
If a fight breaks out, it's really hard to say who will win and who will lose?
However, the bandit leader still grinned a lewd smile.
Because the group of young men behind him gave him enough confidence. As the saying goes, no matter how skilled you are, you are still afraid of the kitchen knife.
When so many of his younger brothers swarm over him, no matter how good his kung fu is, even if he can kill them one by one, it will still take some time to kill all the fifty or so people.
And this period of time is the best time for him to take action.
Thinking of this, the smile on the bandit leader's face became even more proud.
"I think your skills are not bad. If you don't want to sacrifice your life for no reason, I think you might as well join my Shenmu Castle today.
I will leave it to you to be the second boss of the Shenmu Castle. From now on, as long as I have something to eat, you will definitely have something to drink from.
How about it? Do you want to think about it? It's not worth it to sacrifice your life for no reason. "
When the bandit leader said this, one of the bandits who had previously claimed to have seen the city lord's daughter looked at Tao Ziming and Li Wuyou in the distance and frowned again.
I always felt that the other person's clothes were very familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen them before.
Unable to figure it out, he was too lazy to continue wasting his brain cells, and instead focused his attention on Lu Yaoyao, who had already begun to lust after her.
But he didn't know that just because of his lazy efforts, he ruined his life.
The coachman said coldly: "If you are afraid, commit suicide. I promise, I will let your poor, dirty, smelly corpse go."
The bandit leader raised his head and laughed: "Haha, I'm scared. What a big joke. I admit that you are quite capable, but if you want to walk out of Shenmu Castle today, you have to leave something behind!"
The coachman smiled: "You really don't know how to live or die, and you actually dare to have evil thoughts about the young lady. It seems that the Shenmu Castle is not far away from being destroyed."
"Stop fucking nonsense, I just want to tell you, are you willing to surrender? If you don't want to surrender, then I can only send you to meet your ancestors." The bandit leader laughed, and his eyes made it clear that he was Tao Ziming and the others are sure to be killed.
Unfortunately, this is just his wishful thinking.
The coachman did not answer his question, because his saber had already given the answer.
With a flash of sword light, one of the more than fifty bandits had died under the sword light.
A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the bandit leader: "Come with me and kill him! I want to show him that my Shenmu Castle is not a place where he can run wild?"
"Okay, boss, just watch."
The more than forty bandits were laughing wildly as they rushed towards the coachman, trying to capture him in one fell swoop.
If there were only these forty bandits, then based on Tao Ziming's observation, these little minions might not be able to take him down.
But just at this moment, the bandit leader with a thick beard also joined the battle.
As a result, the coachman fell into a state of decline for a moment.
You must know that the martial arts between the bandit leader and the coachman are comparable. In such a close situation, there are so many people nearby to interfere with the coachman.
If this group of minions cannot be dealt with quickly, they will definitely suffer some interference. In this way, they will definitely suffer a big loss in the game with the bandit leader.
Tao Ziming thought of this and reached out to hold the sword, ready to take action at any time.
Tao Ziming's shooting speed was very fast.
Lu Beihai, the city lord of Shizhou City, can testify to this, because every time Tao Ziming takes action, he can't even see clearly when the sword is unsheathed.
From this we can also see how miraculous Tao Ziming's sword skills have reached at this time.
Sure enough, faced with the siege of a group of bandits, the driver quickly fell into a disadvantage.
Tao Ziming knew that the time had come for him to take action.
If he doesn't take action, even if the coachman has magical power to protect his body, he is afraid that his body will inevitably be damaged.
As the saying goes, an expert will know if something is there as soon as he makes a move.
Just as the bandit leader's long knife was about to fall on the carriage driver's neck.
In the deep mountain road, a white sword light flashed suddenly.
"ah!"
A scream came from the crowd.
The carriage driver's eyes suddenly glanced at Tao Ziming, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, and he quickly turned around and continued to fight with the minions around him.
The bandit leader's right arm fell neatly to the ground from his shoulder.
So he could only let out a scream, and only then did he realize that his arm was actually broken and had been cut off by someone.
The person who cut off his arm could not be the carriage driver. And the only one who could do this under such circumstances was Tao Ziming.
So when the bandit leader noticed the coachman's gaze, he quickly moved his eyes to the mysterious Tao Ziming.
"Who is he?"
This was the first thought in the mind of the bandit leader, because he had never seen this person before, nor had he ever seen anyone dressed like this.
"So this person is the real master in the carriage."
A flash of flinching flashed in the bandit leader's eyes. At this time, he had no intention of getting entangled. He just wanted to grab his severed hand and quickly escape from the battlefield.
But after all, his profession is very special, and the way he gathers the people under him is also very special.
As long as there is any possibility, these people under his command will try their best to replace him and become the head of Shenmu Castle.
Even if he is just a puppet of Shenmu Castle, this is how he got his position.
It was only after he gained the identity of the head of the Shenmu Castle that he discovered that there was another unfathomable person hiding in the Shenmu Castle.
It is precisely because of this character that the Shenmu Fort has been able to stand outside Shizhou City for so many years. Despite the repeated and painstaking sieges by the city lord Lu Beihai, the Shenwu Fort is still intact and still capable of fighting.
At this time, the bandit leader with a big beard just wanted to go back to the mountain to meet the mysterious man. Maybe if he met him, he would still have a chance to survive and keep his position as the castle master.
Even if this position is just a puppet, it is much stronger than what he had fought so hard for before.
Seeing that one of the sly-looking robbers was about to attack him from behind, Tao Ziming stopped him again.
It's not time for this bandit leader to die yet. Tao Ziming still needs it to help him find the mysterious power hidden behind the Shenmu Castle.
The bandit leader picked up the severed hand on the ground and ran towards the mountain. Tao Ziming faced Li Wuyou aside, gave him a slight movement, and then ducked away.
At first, a trace of disappointment flashed in Lu Yaoyao's eyes.
Fortunately, the strongest wingman in the universe, Li Wuyou, appeared at the right time.
He ducked to Lu Yaoyao's side and immediately began to explain the reason why Tao Ziming left.
After hearing Li Wuyou's explanation, Lu Yaoyao nodded with relief.
On the battlefield at the foot of the mountain, Li Wuyou and the coachman were there. Tao Ziming was not worried. After all, they were just a group of minions.
With the skills of the two of them, it is not difficult to deal with those little minions.
Tao Ziming followed closely behind the bandit leader.
Along the way, as the surrounding terrain continued to rise, the two climbed over many cliffs and finally came to a dark, short, small house made entirely of white marble.
The room was only a little over one meter long. It was a small, square room, like a small stone cage, which caught Tao Ziming's attention.
"So the real mastermind behind the scenes is hiding in this small room?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Tao Ziming's eyes. Such a room looked more like a child's residence.
An adult living in it can't even straighten his waist. You can imagine how painful it would be to live there.
But the bandit leader actually entered this small stone house in a flash.
Before the two stone doors closed, Tao Ziming jumped up with his feet and followed them in.
"I failed." The bandit leader was kneeling on the ground holding the severed hand.
Who is he talking to?
Tao Ziming ducked in and sensed such a strange scene.
Because there were only two of them in this narrow stone room, and this narrow room, such a small space, couldn't hold so many people at all.
If there really was a third person, Tao Ziming believed that he would be able to discover him immediately.
"Could it be that the painting didn't work?"
Because in front of the bandit leader, there was obviously a canvas made of white silk hanging on the stone wall.
What is depicted on the canvas is a suave and handsome young man.
Standing against the wind, holding a handful of white paper in his left hand. He looks confident and has bright eyes...
