In the dark night, as a rapid drum beat sounded on the tower of Qingyang Town, the already jittery town was instantly plunged into panic.
Screams, cries, running sounds... countless sounds mixed together, instantly filling the city.
On the city tower, nearly a hundred soldiers who had temporarily gathered were standing on the wall, holding bows and arrows, aiming at the hundreds of bandits dozens of feet away in front of the city tower.
It looked like a confrontation between two sides, but the trembling bodies of these city guards and the trembling and shaking arrows had already revealed the panic in their hearts.
Disaster finally befell them. This group of bandits, who were feared in Bailong County, were finally killed tonight!
At this moment, the bandits below the city tower looked at the nearly a hundred soldiers on the city tower and saw the panic in their eyes, and they couldn't help laughing.
The leader of the crowd, a bearded man wearing an animal skin coat and holding a tiger-headed sword, raised his sword and shouted.
"Brothers, we have almost completely cleared the territory in the north of Bailong County. This Qingyang Town is already the largest city with a radius of a hundred miles, except for Bailong County and several county towns.
I heard that not only is there plenty of money and food in the city, but there are also a lot of women. Everyone breaks into the city tonight and can do whatever they want. Of course, no one will be left alive before tomorrow! "
After hearing this, the eyes of a group of bandits immediately turned red, and they all shone with excitement, and howled like beasts from their mouths.
Immediately, the bearded man also laughed wildly, and the sword in his hand, like a flag, was swung down in advance!
"Siege the city!"
With an order, four bandits riding one-horned bulls in the team sat astride the giant beasts and charged directly towards the gate of Qingyang Town!
Seeing this situation, the guards on the tower were trembling with fear, but they still quickly drew their bows and shot arrows, and the arrows suddenly fell.
However, the strength of these town guards was low, and when facing this group of ferocious bandits, they were already frightened. The arrows they fired were crooked, with not surprising power, and aimed at the four people and four beasts. Shrouded and gone!
But the four people who drove the monster beasts to attack the city gate were four Chen-level experts.
Facing the sparse rain of arrows, they did not need to dodge at all. They directly condensed their spiritual armor and carried the rain of arrows without any damage, not to mention the rough-skinned and thick-skinned monster beast under their crotches. No obstacles.
The four monster beasts directly withstood the rain of arrows, accelerated all the way, and finally hit the city gate with a powerful impact.
"Boom...!"
There was a loud roar, and the guards on the tower felt that the entire tower was shaking violently, and they could not stand for a while.
As for the gate under the city tower, countless cracks appeared directly under the impact.
Under the horrified gazes of the city guards, the four monster beasts retreated again and rushed forward at top speed!
"Boom...!"
There was another loud noise, and the city gate was more severely cracked. The door frame was almost separated from the city wall.
"This this……"
At this moment, the eyes of many city guards even showed signs of despair. The strength of the two sides was not at the same level at all.
Some guards could no longer bear the pressure and simply collapsed and fled.
Save the next moment.
"boom……!"
There was another loud noise, and the city gate was finally overwhelmed, shattered, and the door opened wide!
Seeing this situation, the bandit leader showed an excited and cruel smile on his face.
"Brothers, send people to seal the city gate. Let's kill all the men in the city first!"
A group of rogue bandits roared and raised their weapons one after another, intending to rush into the city and start a killing spree.
However, at this moment.
"Whoosh...!"
A sound broke through the air suddenly, and the next moment, a huge square black boulder fell from the sky.
Boom...!
With a loud noise, the huge stone happened to block the city gate of Qingyang Town, closing the already opened city gate entrance again.
This sudden scene made the bandits below the city and the city guards on the city tower stunned, and they didn't know what happened.
The first to react were the group of bandits below the city. Someone suddenly pointed at the top of the square boulder.
"Then...there's someone up there!"
After everyone heard this, they all looked up.
Sure enough, they saw a man standing on the top of the boulder wearing an animal skin, carrying a machete at his waist, dressed similar to these bandits, and wearing a silver mask.
At this moment, the other party was standing on the top of the boulder, with his hands behind his back and his eyes playfully looking at the group of bandits below the city.
Seeing this situation, these bandits looked shocked.
The leader of the big man with a curly beard looked at the other person up and down, his expression changed slightly, but he did not immediately turn away, but cupped his fists.
"May I ask who you are and why you block our way?"
Hearing this, the masked man looked down at the bandits below and said proudly.
"I am "Long Aotian", the leader of the Batian Gang. I, the Batian Gang, have taken a fancy to this city. Now it belongs to me. You can get out."
"Um……?"
"Batian Gang, Long Aotian?"
The bandit leader couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. It was obvious that he had never heard of the other party's background.
However, someone dared to compete with him for the city, which he could not bear.
"Hmph, I don't care what gang you are in. Since you refuse to leave, then just keep your life!"
As he spoke, the leader wanted to raise his sword and order his men to attack the masked man.
However, he did not wait to give the order first.
The masked man sneered: "Since you don't want to leave, then just stay."
As he spoke, he waved his hand toward the dark jungle in the distance.
"kill……!"
"Um……?"
When the bandit leader heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
He turned back suddenly and looked dozens of feet behind him at a forest overgrown with weeds, but it was completely silent, with no sign of life or movement at all.
Just when he thought it was the other party making a fool of himself.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!"
Almost instantly, a dense sound of breaking through the air sounded.
In the dark jungle opposite, countless cold lights suddenly shot out from the dense weeds on the ground and the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees without any warning.
These cold lights were as fast as lightning, densely packed, and like a downpour, they instantly enveloped the bandits under the city gate!
All this happened so suddenly that these bandits had no time to react, and there was an empty space under the city tower, and there was no shelter to hide.
Facing the overwhelming rain of arrows, the bandit leader shrank his pupils and immediately gave an order.
"Form up and defend!"
As this order was issued, these bandits, who seemed to be no different from bandits, shrank their formation instantly. A dozen bandits raised their giant shields and stood directly in front of the large group of people, forming an impregnable defense.
However, when the rain of arrows from the sky actually fell on the shield, everyone felt something was wrong.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang...!"
The power of the arrow rain was completely different from what he imagined. When these arrows fell on the shield, they were like rolling stones.
The arrows actually had the power of "piercing gold and cracking stones". They were shot on the shields and shocked the bandits who were holding up their shields to resist. Their mouths were numb and their steps were unsteady.
What's more, several consecutive arrows landed at the same position on the shield, and actually shot directly through the fine iron shield, and hit the body of the rogue or monster behind. Blood immediately spattered everywhere, and flesh and bone were penetrated. There were bursts of shrill screams.
All this did not panic these bandits, their rich combat experience told them.
As long as they can withstand this wave of arrows, they can win a short respite and charge into the enemy's hiding place.
However, the development of things seemed to exceed their expectations.
As time went by, the dense rain of arrows not only showed no sign of stopping, but instead became more intense and dense.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang...!"
The shields in the hands of more than a dozen bandits shook violently. After holding on for several breaths, they were shot directly into sieves. They could no longer withstand the surging arrows. Many people were killed by arrows and screamed. Not enough.
For a moment, all the bandits were frightened, and they waved their weapons to block the arrows.
However, the power of these arrows is so astonishing that they can penetrate even the thick iron shields. In addition, they are so dense that it is too difficult to resist them with only weapons.
Under the rain of arrows, these more than a hundred celebrity bandits fell quickly like knives cutting through waves of wheat.
The screams of humans and monsters sounded one after another under the city gate. In just an instant, more than half of this group of bandits were dead or injured.
"hiss……!"
Seeing this situation, the bandit leader finally showed a look of horror.
Seeing that his own personnel were seriously injured and the arrows rained continuously in the darkness, how could he dare to stay for a moment longer.
After glaring at the masked man standing on the boulder with his hands behind his back, he shouted angrily.
"Long Aotian, we remember your Batian Gang, just wait!"
After saying that, he clamped the monster under his crotch again and gave orders to his subordinates.
"Quickly retreat!"
After giving the order, the remnants of the rogue bandits, who were already panicking, immediately followed their leader and rushed towards the woodland on the west side of the city gate.
These people had rich experience in retreating. During the retreat, they used the corpses of their fallen companions and monsters as shields to cover their escape.
But even so, most of them were shot dead during the retreat.
In the end, only a dozen Chen-level experts escaped from the range of the arrow rain, but many of them were also injured.
Watching these bandits rushing towards the dense forest on the west side, the masked man on the wall didn't care at all and had no intention of stopping them. He just had a cold smile on his lips.
Seeing the figures of these bandits submerging into the dark jungle, a roar of sky-shaking beasts suddenly came from the dense forest, like thunder rolling from the sky.
A group of huge and ferocious black shadows suddenly rushed out of the darkness and instantly faced the dozen or so bandits who had just escaped.
"Ah...it's a monster, there's an ambush!"
Accompanied by a burst of shrill and panicked screams, it sounded in the dense forest.
In an instant, the dozen or so Chen-level experts, as well as the monster beasts under their crotches, were all submerged by those powerful black shadows, and instantly became silent.
From the beginning of the battle to the end, in less than half a stick of incense, this group of bandits was completely wiped out.
The city guards on the city tower witnessed all this with their own eyes. At this moment, everyone was stunned and stood on the city wall like sculptures.
At this moment, the masked man stepped on the boulder, jumped onto the wall, and glanced directly at them.
When caught by the man's gaze, these city guards turned pale with fright and their bodies trembled like chaff.
The other party was actually able to kill this group of powerful bandits in an instant, and it was very easy to defeat Qingyang Town.
There was a feeling of despair in everyone's hearts, and they couldn't help but have the thought of coming out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth again.
However, the man glanced at them coldly and explained casually.
"From now on, Qingyang Town is the territory of my Batian Gang. You must guard the city well and never be invaded by rogue bandits. Do you understand?"
"Well……"
The city guards looked at me and I looked at you, and they all hesitated for a moment.
"Um……?"
The man's eyes darkened, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, the city guards were so frightened that their hands and feet went limp. Those who saw the opportunity quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Yes, yes... we know, we will defend the city, please... please don't worry, boss!"
Hearing this, the man nodded, and suddenly picked up a smoking "cigarette stick" in his hand, took a puff in his mouth, and then took a step forward.
The square boulder blocking the city gate instantly turned into the size of a blue brick, lifting the man up and flying away into the night sky.
