The forest is dyed with colorful leaves, and autumn is approaching unknowingly.
Xiaochen stepped on the colorful leaves that fell on the ground, stepped on the rotten leaves and yellowish soil, and walked towards the distance. He was wearing a white shirt that was close to his body, and there was only a sword hanging behind his back.
"Ever since I walked out of the Wuwu Cliff, I have been following me at a distance, neither far nor close. Do you plan to do it in a more remote place?" Xiaochen did not look back. Under the exploration of his spiritual mind, more than 200 meters behind him There, a dozen people were hanging in the back, thinking they were well disguised, but under Xiaochen's spiritual thoughts, they stood out like fireflies in the night.
The ones detected by the spiritual mind are basically mortals with cultivation levels below the 5th level of Qi Condensation. Although they can be called monks at this stage, they are actually still mortals because they have not gone away from the valley.
As for the leader, there is a person who is at the 9th level of Qi Condensation and two or three people who are around the 7th level of Qi Condensation. There are dozens of people in this group, which can indeed cause trouble, but casual cultivators are still casual cultivators after all, and they have no roots or strength. It will be much worse than the sect disciples with the same cultivation level.
It takes several days to walk on the mountain road from Wuqingya to Wanli Yacheng. Fortunately, the surrounding area is surrounded by Wuqingya's sphere of influence. It is basically peaceful and there are few big monsters wandering around.
Bandits and bandits are indispensable. On the one hand, it is difficult for monks to interfere with mortal affairs, which will only lead to cause and effect. Secondly, Wuwu Cliff needs these bandits to exist for the training needs of their disciples.
"In that case, let's go to a more remote place." Xiaochen thought, then bypassed the forest road and walked into the dense forest.
"Brother, did that kid find us and suddenly got into the dense forest?" Wang Xiaoer and the people in the crowd said carefully, his eyes scanning the surroundings from time to time, tactfully.
Wang Shu glanced sideways at Wang Xiaoer, snorted nonchalantly, and said, "Let the explorers in front walk faster, and we'll follow behind. We'll see if the idea sticks or not, just try it!"
As the boss, Wang Fu knew that he could not express uneasiness, doubts and other emotions at will. Only when he always showed that he was sure of victory would his subordinates obey him.
Only then will they be willing to obey the command, whether willingly or unwillingly, go to the front to test their strength.
If the idea doesn't prick your hand, then he will press forward. If the idea pricks your hand, he will leave quickly.
"After all, the reward given by the master this time is too generous, and the one I want to deal with is just a righteous idiot who just came down the mountain." Thinking of this, Wang Xi also sneered, "The righteous disciples are the most hypocritical. They talk about hoeing the strong, helping the weak, and eliminating bandits. All I want is With a little bit of trickery, those people will fall into the trap, and those with simple minds will simply have the cultivation resources delivered to their doorstep."
And usually such a large disciple has quite abundant resources, so doing a business to avoid the limelight is enough for him to live freely for a long time.
"Let the people in front prepare!" Wang Ax said to his deputy. He has accumulated a lot of experience in this kind of business, and he naturally knows how to make a righteous disciple lose his guard.
After walking for a long time, the surrounding area gradually became empty. The trees were sparse and separated by huge rocks. There were few people around this place.
"It's a good place to kill people and silence them." Xiaochen thought to himself. He deliberately quickened his pace in the dense forest. Now that he was some distance away from the bandits, he leaned down and arranged the spirit gathering array according to the memory in his mind. In the past, 300 low-grade spirit stones could be used to set up the simplest spirit-gathering array, which had the smallest area and could only cover a circular plot of 3 meters in diameter. But now he spent 2,000 low-grade spirit stones, and the range of the spirit-gathering array was sufficient. Covering an area of more than 30 meters, Xiaochen spent another 500 spirit stones to set up a trap formation, considering the situation behind it.
These are the basic formations that all monks must learn. The effect is to stimulate the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone, flow according to the formation, and retain and gather the spiritual energy to the maximum extent. This is faster and more efficient than absorbing spiritual stones piece by piece. Many, the higher the grade of spirit stones, the better the effect of the spirit gathering array.
The trap can trap people in an area for a period of time and cover up the outside world. If a mortal passes by, he will not notice what is happening in the trap. Of course, it also depends on the monk's cultivation, but it is enough to deal with a group of bandits.
There is naturally a reason for doing this. If Xiaochen wants to dissipate the ruthless sword technique, he will also dissipate his cultivation. With the spirit gathering array, he can use the new technique to restore his cultivation as quickly as possible. .
At this time, a woman's cry for help came loudly in the distance: "Help, help!"
"Still want to run away? Come and have fun with me, hahaha!" Several arrogant voices also came from behind the woman.
After a moment of tree shadows swaying, a slightly elegantly dressed woman was in a panic. Her temples were stained with sweat. Her slightly fair skin represented her status as an official woman. The woman was holding a bundle behind her back. With panic in his eyes, he saw Xiaochen, and he quickly wanted to step forward to seek help, but he suddenly fell down in a hurry, and the bundles on his back were scattered on the ground, and the gold and silver belongings fell all over the ground.
"Young hero, young hero! Help!" The woman shouted anxiously towards Xiaochen. Naturally, she knew what would happen if she fell into the hands of bandits.
At this time, the three robbers also walked forward calmly. The robber held a wide official knife in his hand. The leader, Scarface, looked fierce. At this time, he also looked at the woman with desire and teasing and said: "Run! You are here." Run!"
"Ah ha ha ha! Boss, don't waste it after you've finished playing!" The younger brother behind Scarface also said with lustful intent.
Scarface whispered: "You are indispensable. When have I, Scar, ever wronged you?"
At this time, Dao Scar and the others saw Xiao Chen walking towards this side, and the knives in their hands tightened, and they said sternly and restrainedly: "Boy, stop meddling in other people's business! Otherwise, ha!"
At this time, the woman also raised her head and begged with tears in her eyes: "Young hero, help me, young hero! Woo hoo..."
"Boy, you are young and should mind your own business!" The younger brother next to Scar also said the same thing.
"Okay, if you say you don't care, then I won't care." Xiaochen said nonchalantly.
Those people were suddenly stunned.
Xiao Chen just walked past the four people, went to a huge stone on the edge, and put down the last batch of spiritual stones. Immediately, the spirit gathering array under his feet was activated, and the spiritual energy was slowly extracted and gathered in the sky.
The woman's face was full of astonishment, but she immediately reacted, pulled out the hairpin with her right hand, pointed at her neck and said, "I will not be insulted even if I die!"
Scarface moved his hand, and the hairpin held by the woman was knocked away by the spiritual energy. Then he looked at Xiaochen and mocked: "You know the truth."
"Hahaha, I haven't met such a tender beauty in this mountain for so long."
"Yes, big brother, it moisturizes you just by looking at it!" the younger brother agreed.
Scarface also gave a signal with his eyes at this time. The younger brother was responsible for the warning. He leaned down and started to move his hands up and down.
"No, no!" The woman naturally tried her best to resist.
Xiao Chen just stood in the center of the formation and watched with cold eyes, his heart was calm, what a good show!
His mind has been paying attention to the dozen bandits slowly surrounding him. As for the few people in front of him, they should be the so-called hanging bait, used to hang out prey. As for this woman, her appearance was even more inexplicable. Her clothes did not become scattered as she ran, and her aura was pretending to be weak. Under the investigation of Xiaochen's spiritual mind, the woman was the one with the highest cultivation level among the four, with a full 7th level of Qi Condensation, while the scarred face only had 5th level of Qi Condensation.
If they were ordinary disciples of the righteous way, maybe some people would really fall for this way, but Xiaochen's soul is as high as the golden elixir stage, and he can see right and wrong at a glance. Although the methods used by these bandits are not clever, they are indeed suitable. The weakness of a righteous disciple.
"Looking at how skillfully they act, they must be veterans already!" Xiaochen thought.
Wang Fu and others are now under the woods not far from the clearing. Looking at the scene in front of him, Wang Fu is a little undecided. After all, the righteous disciple behaves too calmly, but he doesn't know whether he is pretending or stupid.
"Boss, you are just a weakling. You dare not say a word!" Wang Xiaoer immediately slandered him when he saw this.
Wang Ax then looked back and saw that a dozen of his younger brothers were ready to make a move. Although he still had some doubts in his heart, he was quickly deceived by greed. After all, the reward for this order was so generous. As the saying goes, good people are paid well. Wealth dies, birds die for food!
"Boy, who told you to offend others? This is not Wuwu Cliff, and your head is so valuable." From the moment Xiaochen walked out of Wuwu Cliff, he was already being targeted. After all, there was someone who let loose at Black Tiger Cliff. After receiving the reward, this Qi Condensation 7th Level disciple named Jian Shisan is worth 500 low-grade spiritual stones per head.
This bounty was coaxed away by King Ax as soon as it came out. This is a fat sheep.
"Zuo Zhou, right Fa, surround us, don't let this kid escape!" Wang Fu also made up his mind and ordered his left and right hands. He himself went forward and surrounded him on all sides, making sure that the kid had no way to go to the sky. There is no way to go to the ground.
"No! No, wuwu..." The woman was still struggling amidst Scar's wild laughter, and her clothes were torn until only her bellyband was left.
"Hahaha, that's good enough. I just like this!" The more the woman struggled, the more excited Scar became.
Xiao Chen felt Wang Fu and his group approaching outflanking him. He looked at the woman with his peripheral vision and thought, "Oh! Have you decided to take action?"
When Wang Ax and others entered the formation, a flash of light flashed around the open space, and the trapping formation took effect.
"涔!"
Xiao Chen pulled out his sword and swung it towards the woman. The sword was like a breeze and like lightning. In just the blink of an eye, it crossed a distance of four to five meters and reached Scarface.
Before Scarface's younger brother could even react, he beheaded him with one strike!
Blood spurted out, and the woman stopped shouting and looked at the scene in front of her in horror.
Several boys reacted instantly and scattered in all directions, trying to run away.
Xiao Chen immediately added a few more swords, and the sword light flashed. The figures of the two younger brothers suddenly stopped in the middle of running, and then their bodies were cut into two halves by the sword energy and fell down.
The woman reacted at this time, and hurriedly gathered her clothes in a tone that sounded like she was surviving a disaster, and said, "Thank you, young hero, for saving your life. Young hero, be careful, they still have people!"
Before the woman could finish speaking, Xiao Chen struck down with his sword again, and blood marks passed across the woman's neck. Her eyes widened, full of surprise, and she didn't know where the flaw was. She died before even using her cultivation. .
The three-foot Qingfeng wave stopped, and Xiaochen turned to look at Wang Axe and the others in the formation.
