"Next, I should go thank my good brother who helped me cash in my chips." Qiao Mu held a spear in his hand, looking down at the crowd of officers and soldiers below, his eyes turning cold.
Chapter 21: Falling Leaves
The spear in Qiao Mu's hand was discarded by the bandits.
The tip of this spear is made of iron, and the shaft is made of ash wood. Its length is similar to the standard spear that Qiumu had used before.
He swung the spear a few times, quickly adapting to the long spear in his hand. At the same time, he stood on the mountain and looked down at the group of officers and soldiers below, his eyes following Captain Chu, and he was quietly waiting for an opportunity.
"Captain Chu, seems to be an eighth-rank official?"
He closed his eyes and looked inward at his Dantian. He could see that his Dantian's Qi Sea was already filled with powerful, invisible internal energy, forming a Qi Sea vortex in the center of his Dantian.
The internal energy vortex in the Qi Hai is a sign that the internal energy has reached the limit of the Dantian.
In other words, Qiao Mu has now reached the ninth level of internal strength limit, and is only one step away from the eighth level.
One death cost Qiao Mu eight years of his life, which was also equivalent to far more than eight years of hard training. He directly skipped the middle stage of internal strength accumulation and reached the peak of the ninth level.
"If you kill me again, maybe you can break through to the eighth level."
"Captain Chu leads a thousand men, but he is only an eighth-rank warrior. The gap between him and me is not that big. I have a chance if I launch a surprise attack."
A fearless ninth-grade peak warrior risked his life to attack an eighth-grade warrior, and his success rate was not low.
The assassination is completed, and Qiumu can even continue to upgrade.
The key point is how he should assassinate Captain Chu.
At this time, Captain Chu still had thousands of officers and soldiers around him. If they forced their way in, they would only be surrounded like they did when they faced the bandits before. Eventually, their internal energy would be exhausted and they would die again, and they wouldn't even be able to get to Captain Chu.
"Before Captain Chu returned to Yancheng, he had thousands of officers and soldiers around him. It was difficult to get close to him. What if he didn't get close?"
Qiao Mu clenched the spear in his hand.
After eight years of training, Qiao Mu has mastered the art of military spearmanship, and the spear in his hand is like an extension of his arm.
"You can try to launch a sneak attack from a distance on the mountain!"
Although military spearmanship does not include javelin throwing, based on Qiao Mu's current feel for the spear, he thought he could give it a try.
"If the first strike fails, we will give up temporarily and think of another way after he returns to Yancheng."
He lay on the ridge, silently waiting for his opportunity.
Not long after, he saw Captain Chu walking towards the rear of the team, approaching Old Huang and others who were carrying the corpse, and seemed to be talking about something.
Here we come!
Captain Chu walked to the rear of the team near the entrance of the valley. Judging from Qiao Mu's position, the straight-line distance between the two sides was less than a hundred meters!
He clenched the spear in his right hand, bulged the muscles in his right arm, and aimed at Captain Chu in the valley.
"Stay calm. Even if this assassination attempt fails, I still have other chances."
"Then let's be cautious this time..."
"The demon disintegrates!" The internal energy in Qiao Mu's meridians suddenly surged, and the spear in his hand spewed out bloody light, breaking through the air and flying out rapidly!
... ..
Below the valley.
Captain Chu had just finished talking to Old Huang about how to deal with Qiao Mu's body and turned to leave.
Captain Chu ordered his confidant: "After returning to Yancheng, you must take good care of Qiao Mu's body and notify the City Lord's Mansion."
This confidant immediately understood and said:
"Master Chu is indeed very smart. He easily dealt with a troublemaker that even the city lord couldn't handle."
"Oh, what a troublemaker! He is just a reckless man with nothing but courage!" Captain Chu sneered:
"What's the point of being able to fight? To get involved you need power and background."
"Is he very powerful in Yancheng? He dares to confront the city lord? I can deal with this little jerk without even breaking a sweat."
Thinking of Qiao Mu's fighting to death just now, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth:
"He is so good at fighting and so brave. If he dies, everything will be over. When the time comes, he will kill so many bandits, and the military achievements will be attributed to me."
"And if he hadn't died a hapless death, our army would have had to fight against thousands of bandits in the valley, and the casualties would have been huge."
"To be honest, I have to thank him." Captain Chu smiled.
"It would be even better if there were more of these useful rookies."
As soon as he said this, Captain Chu's heart suddenly trembled and his pupils shrank sharply.
A sharp whistling sound came from behind his ear, and a spear was approaching him rapidly from top to bottom!
"There's a sneak attack from a master! There's actually such a master among the bandits? It turned out that I was right not to rush in!"
Captain Chu quickly gathered his internal strength at his toes and was about to dodge with all his strength, but in a sudden glance, he saw the figure standing on the mountain.
Although they were hundreds of meters apart, the figure and posture of that person gave him a strong sense of familiarity...
That person... .
That person seems to be Qiao Mu? !
Captain Chu's mind was shaken for a moment, and the internal energy coursing through his meridians slowed down a bit.
whoosh!
The long spear that broke through the air pierced Captain Chu's throat in a flash. The huge force carried Captain Chu's body backwards and nailed him to a tree four or five meters away.
Captain Chu's eyes widened as he stared at the figure on the mountain.
He suffered a great fright at the last moment of his life.
He opened his mouth in vain to shout, but only hoarse sounds came out, and he could not utter a single complete syllable.
Blood gushed out from the bloody hole in his throat like a fountain. He soon lost his strength, his hands fell down, and he died.
"Enemy attack!"
The soldiers around him were also in a panic.
They had already won the battle and were preparing to return to the city, but they didn't expect that at this moment Captain Chu, the commander, was ambushed by a master and suffered a fatal blow!
Lao Huang and others were also extremely panicked.
But the reason why they were panicked was different from that of other soldiers.
"Just now... did you see that figure on the mountain?" Old Huang said tremblingly.
In order to collect Qiao Mu's body and because they were in a depressed mood, these soldiers walked at the end of the team.
So apart from Captain Chu, they were the only ones who saw the fleeting figure on the mountain.
"... .." The monk next to him was silent for a moment, and subconsciously turned over the flag to take a look at Qiao Mu's bloody body.
"I saw it too. It was a sneak attack by bandits," he said seriously.
"Yes, it's the bandits." Old Huang also reacted and shouted:
"The bandits are coming!"
"The bandits are coming!" the soldiers shouted in unison.
The soldiers who had lost their commander immediately fled in panic.
No one went to collect Captain Chu's body. Instead, they ran away as quickly as if they were avoiding snakes and scorpions. After all, there was still a master lurking nearby who could kill Captain Chu with one blow and might attack again at any time.
Captain Chu's body was nailed alone to a tree on the hillside, and no one dared to approach.
A gentle breeze blew, and the leaves on the tree where Captain Chu was nailed to death rustled.
The blood from the corpse flowed down, dyeing the three words "Luomu Valley" carved on the tree trunk red.
The wooden shaft of the spear at Captain Chu's throat was still trembling slightly.
Chapter 22 Qiao Mu will not die well!
On the mountain.
Qiao Mu hid behind a big rock, his heart pounding and his blood surging.
Killing Captain Chu certainly brought the pleasure of revenge, but Qiao Mu was more concerned about something else.
"I'm so strong!" Qiao Mu gave himself a thumbs up.
Captain Chu was killed instantly with one strike from a distance.
You have to know that an hour ago, Qiao Mu was Captain Chu's vanguard, being driven by him to explore the way and kill the enemy, but now he can counterattack and kill the enemy in one go.
Qiumu has now mastered the correct way to achieve "immortality" and tasted the sweetness of high-quality death.
"How should I die next so that I can die more handsomely? This time I'm going to pretend to be a big one, so that I can definitely die with dignity and style!"
Qiao Mu hid behind a rock, his heart pounding. His face flushed as he excitedly imagined his own death.
After killing Captain Chu, the officers and soldiers will naturally start searching the mountains to capture him as the assassin.
Thinking of this, Qiao Mu raised his right hand and looked at it.
His entire arm was filled with a feeling of weakness and aches, and his blood vessels had burst, oozing blood continuously.
This time, Qiao Mu did not continue to trigger the Demonic Disintegration, but only released it for a moment, so he did not die on the spot. However, the sequelae were still serious, and his right arm was currently half-disabled.
So, with his half-broken arm, he certainly couldn't escape the pursuit of the soldiers. This script was very reasonable.
And what Qiumu had to consider next was how to die beautifully.
"What line would be cool to shout out before I die?" Qiao Mu fell into deep thought.
He has always been serious about committing suicide.
Before, Qiao Mu died while charging alone into the valley against a thousand men... At that time, Lao Huang and others behind him only knew that Qiao Mu's death was too heroic, which left a deep impression in their hearts.
Little did they know that this acting genius had already rehearsed the inner drama five times in his mind before charging.
Just as Qiumu was pondering how he would die, he heard a familiar voice howling from the bottom of the valley.
"The bandits are coming!"
"The bandits are coming!"
The officers and soldiers of Yancheng were not elite warriors who had experienced many battles. When their leader was suddenly assassinated, they were immediately thrown into confusion.
Not long after, this group of soldiers actually started to flee towards Yancheng, instead of searching the mountain as Qiao Mu expected.
"Run away? Why did they all run away? Then how did I die?" Qiao Mu was stunned:
"I've already acted out my inner drama twice and thought of all my lines, and you guys ran away?"
He originally wanted to assassinate Captain Chu brazenly, and then die heroically as Qiao Mu's elder brother amid the encirclement of officers and soldiers. It would have been a good thing, but the officers and soldiers were simply scared away
"What should I do next? Chase him? This scenario doesn't seem reasonable. After all, I've already gotten my revenge. I don't think I can get a high score."
Qiao Mu thought hard and finally could only hide behind a rock and watch the soldiers gradually walk away.
This shouldn't be the case! This script is not going in the right direction.
Qiao Mu carefully reviewed why he didn't die this time. The main reason was probably that someone shouted that bandits were coming, and the officers and soldiers probably thought they were ambushed again and withdrew.
"Wait a minute, that seemed to be what Lao Huang shouted?"
Thinking of this, Qiao Mu suddenly became angry.
You old Huang, I was kind enough to save your life and protect you from knives and guns, but you actually wanted to make me die miserably? !
And the key point is that after Lao Huang shouted, the person who killed Captain Chu was no longer Qiao Mu, but the blame was put on the bandits.
In this case, how can Qiumu stack BUFFs and accumulate chips
"Damn it, let me pretend to be so awesome that I will die!"
Just when Qiumu was feeling helpless and furious, he heard a burst of dense footsteps coming from all around him.
Looking back, Qiao Mu was stunned.
Dense groups of bandits appeared again and surrounded him from inside to outside.
