Shi Hao, Sha Lingshan, Xu Xiaoyan and Xiao Feicui passed through the Meiling Ancient Road, jumped over Dayu Mountain and approached Ganjiang River.
They planned to go north by water along the Gan River.
When we got here, there was a frost.
The rapidly dropping temperature was unbearable for them, so that night they found a dilapidated temple and made a fire in it to keep warm.
"It's so cold, I really don't want to go out!" Sha Lingshan said softly while sitting by the campfire.
"It's strange to see people holding fans in such a cold day." Xu Xiaoyan muttered.
Sha Ling Shan smiled and said, "The fan is my weapon. Just think of me as carrying a sword on the road. Just like you, don't you have a wooden stick stuck on your waist?"
"This is a sword, not a stick!" Xu Xiaoyan pulled out the sword, twisted it and pulled out the sword tip.
When Shi Hao saw Su Jian, he suddenly remembered: "If I have time, I need to go to Taoist Master Tie Yu. The magic weapon made by Thunder Lord should be almost finished, right?"
Xu Xiaoyan stared at him: "'Thunder Lord'? Are you talking about the top-grade divine crystal 'Thunder Lord'?"
Shi Hao said: "Yes, it is the top-grade divine crystal 'Thunder Lord'."
Sha Lingshan said with a smile: "That is a top-grade divine crystal. Young Master, aren't you afraid that he will take the magic weapon and run away like that?"
Xu Xiaoyan snorted, "That fat guy is not that kind of person. Even though he is a stingy person, he will definitely make a fortune from this."
Shi Hao looked at Xu Xiaoyan and asked, "Have you decided on the sixth-grade cultivation method?"
Xu Xiaoyan said happily: "As for the Taoist skills, I secretly asked my senior on the way to Wuling a few days ago. She taught me a set of 'Xiuyun Xuanlu' and the matching Lixing swordsmanship. As for the magic skills, I don't know yet."
Shi Hao said, "No wonder you have been following Yue'er for the past two days. As for the magic sect's skills, you practice the Black Eclipse series, the same as the Xuanfeng Sect Master. Little Feicui, do you have any good suggestions?"
Little Jade appeared out of thin air and said, "For the Black Eclipse system, I suggest..."
"Wait a minute!" Xu Xiaoyan said, "Xiao Feicui and I will discuss it ourselves."
Grabbing the small jade, they walked around the mottled and dusty statue and went to the other side, then whispered to each other.
Sha Lingshan sighed, "Practicing both magic and magic, in the past, I really didn't dare to think about it."
Looking at Shi Hao, he said, "Young Master! In fact, both the Sect Master and Fairy Shengxuan have taught you martial arts, right?"
Shi Hao smiled and didn't confirm, but he also didn't say that her guess was wrong.
As a human being, we still need to be a little mysterious.
Sha Ling Shan was certain, and waved her fan, saying, "As expected! But I never thought that there would be someone in the world who could be favored by both the Charming Emperor and the Holy Fairy, and be taught their unique skills. For people in the martial arts world, I'm afraid they wouldn't even dare to think about this."
Shi Hao thought to himself, if you really knew what I did with them, you wouldn’t even dare to think about it.
After a long while, Xu Xiaoyan finally came over with Xiao Feicui with satisfaction.
Shi Hao did not ask her what technique she had chosen... After all, he himself was from the "Illusionary Color" department and could not give her any reference.
They rested here for a night and left the temple the next morning.
The trees were still covered with hoarfrost, but after the frost fell, although it was cold, the sun became brighter.
When they got down the mountain, they suddenly saw thick smoke billowing from the foot of the mountain and heard continuous crying and shouting.
When they rushed over, they saw a village being looted and massacred by bandits.
This place is close to Dayuling Mountain and is surrounded by high mountains. Although there are constant wars outside, such a village hidden in the mountains is isolated from the world and not easy to be discovered, and the war did not affect them.
But at this moment, a group of bandits rushed into the village on horseback. They gathered all the men in the village and tied them up, preparing to capture them as coolies. They rummaged through the boxes and drawers, taking out all the food and cloth they could find, preparing to take them away.
They chopped down useless old men and children, and wantonly pinned down pretty women.
A young girl was crying and was pressed against the edge of a well. Her clothes were torn, exposing her skin.
Swish, a sharp light flashed by, and the thief who pounced on her fell over, with blood oozing from his brow and his eyes wide open.
The two thieves holding her arms looked back and saw a girl holding a rapier, which flashed twice.
They covered their throats which suddenly turned cold and retreated in panic, blood oozing out from between their fingers.
The other thieves also noticed the unusual situation here. They saw that the murderous girl pursed her lips and looked murderous.
They saw that behind the girl, there was a young man in a long gown and a slender and well-proportioned young woman in a long skirt with golden butterflies and flowers.
The young man had an iron sword on his waist and his face was serious.
The young woman, however, was walking leisurely, holding a round fan in her hand, as if on an autumn outing, and was not affected by the cold weather (although the sun was shining but the frost had not yet completely melted) or the screams in front of her.
"Who are you?" A big man holding a ring-handled broadsword, with a burly figure and a ruthless look, shouted, "How dare you meddle in other people's business? Do you know who we are?"
Others also came over and surrounded the three people.
There were more than sixty bandits in this group, all of them were from wealthy families. In comparison, the three men surrounded by them seemed weak and helpless, and they were surrounded and waited to die.
The young man sneered and said, "I don't see anyone here, I only see a bunch of beasts like you."
The big man was furious and shouted, "Kill them for me."
The bandits rushed forward and wanted to cut the three men into pieces.
They knew very well that those who dared to meddle in other people's affairs were mostly skilled in martial arts.
But they are not afraid, because they live a life on the edge of a knife.
In this day and age, everyone is in danger of losing their jobs, either oppressing others or being oppressed by others... That's how they think.
In this world, only those who are ruthless enough can live longer. The more you retreat, the faster you die.
So they bravely rushed forward and killed the three people... But this time, their desperate fight did not allow them to live longer.
The girl's figure was as fast as lightning, with a thin sword swirling around. Those who were hit by the sword often fell down before they could even see the sword light.
The young man drew out his iron sword and slashed with it, and thousands of soldiers were scared away. Every time he swung his sword, a shocking flash of blood was splashed, and he actually used his force to overwhelm his opponents.
The young woman waved her folding fan back and forth, and the bandits around her fell to the ground and died on the spot, but even they themselves didn't know what had happened.
"Go! Go!" The big man was also a good fighter, although only of low rank, but he knew that he had to rely on numbers to make the three men unable to catch their breath, in order to have a chance of winning.
However, the movements of the young man and the young woman were so erratic that they would always suddenly appear outside the battle circle, rush in from outside the circle, then flash back out of the circle and start over again.
The Soul-Chasing and Soul-Locking Steps made them basically fearless of being besieged.
Although these bandits were strong, they were like lambs to be slaughtered when facing Sha Lingshan, Shi Hao and Xu Xiaoyan as they were unable to form a joint attack.
Sha Lingshan is a member of the Demon Sect. Although she has a laid-back personality, she is very efficient and decisive in her actions.
Shi Hao immediately used the Tian Kuang Jue Sha sword technique. Just by hearing the name of this sword technique, one can tell how domineering and ruthless it was.
Xu Xiaoyan deeply hated these people for oppressing the people, so she leaped and leaped with her delicate body, using every move to take lives.
In a short while, these bandits were killed in a panic.
The big man in the lead flashed and chopped Xu Xiaoyan's head with his sword. The sword was so powerful that it looked very impressive.
Bang! Xu Xiaoyan swung her sword horizontally, and the big man leaned back, and the sword was also bounced back... Seeing that Xu Xiaoyan was the youngest and a girl, he picked the weakest one first and rushed towards Xu Xiaoyan.
But who would have thought that although Xu Xiaoyan's sword moves lightly, he is also a middle-level master who has entered the sixth level
This big guy actually didn't have as much foundation as Xu Xiaoyan, but he forced an attack and used a head-on confrontation, which was actually courting his own destruction.
The next moment, Xu Xiaoyan's sword light came rushing over, and soon, he was covered with wounds.
The big man was filled with despair, but he remained strong and slashed the enemies with his sword.
With a whoosh, Xu Xiaoyan passed him by. He staggered a few steps and fell to the ground, covered in blood and exhausted.
Xu Xiaoyan had just stabbed him from behind, piercing his heart with the sword.
The remaining bandits finally couldn't hold on and fled in all directions.
Shi Hao and the other two are determined to eradicate all evil, so how could they let them escape so easily
He actually caught up and killed him with extremely fast movements.
Only after all the criminals were killed did they release the kidnapped villagers.
The villagers were still in shock and gathered together, expressing their gratitude repeatedly.
However, there was another group of people hiding on the mountain. There were five of them in total. One of them was a young man with a leopard skin around his waist, and the others were also dressed as hunters.
They stared in amazement at what was happening in the village.
They were clearly three people being besieged, but they turned around and killed all the sixty or so people who surrounded them.
It felt like these three people surrounded the sixty-plus people from the very beginning.
The young man murmured, "So strong."
A man next to him said, "I don't know where these three people came from, but it seems that each of them is of middle rank... Especially the girl with the fan, I'm afraid she is of fourth rank."
The young man asked, "Brother Xiong and the others haven't arrived yet?"
The other person looked back and said, "Not yet... but it should be soon."
The young man turned his eyes and said, "How about I go and see if I can invite these three people to join our Leopard Army
"As soon as he finished speaking, his body became as soft as mud and he began to slide down the mountain.
The man next to him quickly grabbed him and said, "Xiao Wu, stop messing around. We don't even know who they are."
The young man said, "Just go and give it a try! I don't think they are bad people. Look, didn't they save the village? If they had just waited for Xiong Si and the others to arrive, the girls in the village would have been killed long ago, and who knows how many people would have died.
"I'll just go and ask. At most they won't agree. It won't cost me anything."
After saying that, the young man broke free from the man's hand, slid down the barren hillside, and ran towards the village.
Chapter 289 Envy Envy
Shi Hao, Sha Lingshan and Xu Xiaoyan watched the young man run into the village.
When the villagers saw someone entering the village, they were startled and became panic-stricken.
The young man bowed and said, "Don't panic, folks. I am Qian Xiaowu from the Leopard Army. Our men heard that bandits were coming here to rob and kill, so we are on our way. I am a sentry, and I saw that these bandits were killed, so I came to take a look."
When the villagers heard that they were from the Leopard Army, they seemed much more relieved.
The young man ran towards Shi Hao, bowed and said, "My name is Qian Xiaowu, from the Leopard Army. May I ask the names of the three knights and knight-errant ladies?"
Shi Hao asked: "Leopard Army?"
Qian Xiaowu said: "Our general's surname is Guan and his name is Rong. He has two sworn brothers, Wei Langyuan and Hu Jingyun. Together, they are known as the Three Generals of Southern Jiangxi."
Shi Hao smiled and said, "So you are a subordinate of 'Xia Bao' Guan Rong. I have heard of you for a long time."
Guan Rong, the "heroic leopard", was one of the first people to respond to the Changbai Mountain Uprising in the north, but his career has not been going well.
Despite this, the word "knight" in his title has never been taken away. Among the endless stream of "righteous armies", he and his subordinates are among the few who can always hold the bottom line.
Shi Hao said: "My name is Shi Chongyun, and they are my two wives."
Sha Ling fanned and said: "Oh..."
Xu Xiaoyan squinted at him... How did she become your wife
Qian Xiaowu said, "Ah? Ah, that... I'm so envious... Ah, no, I've heard a lot about you!" Although he said he had heard a lot about you, he looked a little confused.
Although Shi Hao earned the name "Qianlong" in the Bashan and Hanshui areas, the Bashan and Hanshui were too far away.
It's not like the name "Hao Xinghua" is on the blacklist. Although the blacklist is set up by the Six Gates, every time the blacklist is released, everyone will rush to see who's ranking has changed, who's on the list,
Whoever was removed from the list was either dead or captured by the Six Gates.
Qian Xiaowu naturally had no impression of this name.
Even so, he knew that these three people were definitely extraordinary and each of them was a mid-level master.
Qian Xiaowu himself was only at the eighth rank, and he had cultivated himself through hard practice since he was young, so he naturally did not dare to offend him.
But this Shi Chongyun actually had two such beautiful ladies, hugging him on both sides. Although he said he was "envious", in fact, at that moment, he still wanted to find a fire to burn him.
Qian Xiaowu asked, "I wonder which faction Master Shi belongs to?"
Shi Hao shook his head and said, "He is just an idler wandering around."
Qian Xiaowu hurriedly asked, "In that case, would you like to visit Luling?"
He explained, "Although the three of you are getting rid of harm for the people today, you should know that the people you killed were not ordinary bandits, but members of the Wild Ghost Gang. The leader of the Wild Ghost Gang, Sang Long, is a sixth-rank master and has more than 4,000 soldiers. They are all ruthless and vindictive."
"You killed these people today to save the villagers. In the future, he will kill the villagers again to avenge his subordinates and show off his power. If you just leave, the villagers here will be even more miserable in the future."
Shi Hao shook his head and said, "Don't talk about this. You know the affairs of the martial arts world. If you can save them for a while, it's just a moment. If you want to save them forever, few people can do it. We saved them today, and they escaped a disaster today. Tomorrow, the disaster will come again. We have no way to deal with it. We are not the ones who did the evil."
