Kill!!
Heaven-shaking shouts rang out from Yangping Town.
Armored guards and Hunter's Hall hunters swarmed towards the town entrance, battling the bandits who were charging up.
On the pavilion, Ouyang Yuan's expression was cold and grim as he watched the tragic battle below with indifferent eyes.
After the initial surprise, he had already reacted.
"Hmph, these people actually dared to come knocking on our door, they are truly seeking their own death."
He sneered, his gaze falling upon the two grey-clothed old men beside him.
"Old Zhong, how many lives are needed to awaken the thing below?"
"The old Master said that at least hundreds of lives are needed, and the effect will be better if Martial Artists are used."
The two grey-clothed old men quickly replied after a slight thought.
"Hundreds? Very good, these people below are enough."
Hearing this, Ouyang Yuan's face revealed a trace of cruel smile, looking at the fiercely battling crowd below, without the slightest emotion in his eyes, just like looking at a group of livestock and wild beasts.
"Young Master, the people below are all elites of the Tower. If they all die, the Tower will also be affected."
The grey-clothed old man saw through the other party's thoughts and spoke with some hesitation.
"It's fine, Old Zhong, as people of Zhenshan Tower, it's normal to sacrifice their lives when facing external enemies. As for the losses... Hmph, as long as all these bandits are killed, I believe it will be enough to deter those petty people in the County Town."
Ouyang Yuan waved his hand indifferently, looking in the direction of the County Town, his eyes flickering.
"After so many years, if my Zhenshan Tower doesn't show some real strength to completely shatter the thoughts of those people, there will definitely be no less trouble like this in the future. Since they've come knocking, let's kill them all in one go..."
Hearing this, the two grey-clothed old men also said nothing more, clearly acquiescing to this approach.
Outside Yangping Town.
Black Bear stood with his arms crossed, watching the scene of the charge not far away with a smile on his lips.
Because of the initial wave of sneak attacks, the defenders of Yangping Town were caught off guard, and his subordinates had already gained the upper hand at this time.
Even Chen Fengqing hadn't made a move yet, just his fierce bandits alone were forcing the other side to retreat step by step.
Although it was Yangping Town at this time, the defenders had already reacted, but they were still unable to turn the tide of the battle.
"Just a few in the Forging Tendons Realm, they are really quite useless."
Black Bear muttered to himself, also thinking in his heart whether he should charge up as well, directly kill everyone, and take Ouyang Yuan away.
However, in the end, he still didn't act rashly. After all, there must still be some reliance in this town. It's better not to act rashly before this reliance comes out. Let that fool Chen Fengqing test the waters.
Bang!
Tian Hu was in the crowd, constantly swinging his fists, and wherever he passed, black-clothed bandits died on the spot.
In just a few breaths, several Black Wind Bandits had already died by his hands.
As a master at the Forging Tendons Late Stage, his strength was naturally far superior to these bandits who were only in the Body Tempering Realm.
Beside him was Chai Lu, who was also fighting fiercely.
Wielding a steel saber in his hand, wherever the saber light passed, the black-clothed bandits died on the spot.
However, their actions were quickly noticed by the masters among the Black Wind Bandits.
Several masters who were also in the Forging Tendons Realm quickly headed towards the two of them.
"Brother Chai, I'll leave those two over there to you, and I'll take these two."
Tian Hu also noticed this scene and spoke to Chai Lu beside him.
"Okay, but before that, there's one more thing..."
"What is it?"
Hearing Chai Lu's words, Tian Hu was somewhat puzzled. Just as he was about to turn around, he felt a pain in his abdomen. A steel saber had pierced into his lower abdomen at some point.
"Chai Lu, you..."
Tian Hu glared angrily, looking at Chai Lu with a smile on his face, he roared and slapped backhanded.
"Of course, it's to send you on your way first."
Chai Lu sneered and pulled back to dodge.
"Damn traitor!! The Master won't let you go..."
Tian Hu let out a hoarse roar of rage, but Chai Lu had already raised his saber and attacked.
Facing Chai Lu's attack, Tian Hu was filled with extreme rage in his heart. Ignoring the saber wound in his abdomen, he forced himself to take a breath and charged forward like a madman, completely in a life-for-life stance.
For a moment, he actually forced Chai Lu to retreat repeatedly.
"Trash..."
At this moment, a cold snort sounded from beside the two of them. Before Tian Hu could react, a folding fan had slashed across his neck. Tian Hu's body immediately froze, his neck split open, a large stream of blood gushed out, and he fell backward to the ground. His chest heaved a few times before he quickly lost all signs of life.
Chen Fengqing's figure emerged. The paper fan in his hand closed, not stained with a single drop of blood.
"Where is Ouyang Yuan? Take me there."
His gaze fell on Chai Lu, and he spoke indifferently.
"He's on the pavilion nearby, I'll take Young Master there right away."
Chai Lu's face showed a respectful expression, and he immediately led Chen Fengqing towards the nearby pavilion.
"Too slow."
Looking at the not-so-distant pavilion, Chen Fengqing tapped his toes and his body was like a flying swallow. In just a few breaths, he leaped onto the pavilion.
However, there was no sign of Ouyang Yuan in the pavilion at this time, only two grey-clothed old men who were wiping their weapons.
"Chen Fengqing, it seems you have indeed broken through to the Blood Transportation Realm. No wonder the Chen Family is so dishonest and has ideas they shouldn't have."
The person who came threw away the white cloth in his hand and spoke slowly.
"You two old fellows think you can stop me?"
Seeing the two, Chen Fengqing snorted coldly and immediately charged towards them.
Not to mention the fierce battle at the town entrance.
At this time, the town was already in complete chaos.
The news of the bandits attacking the town had already spread throughout the entire town. The residents and merchants in the town hurried home, their doors tightly shut, only revealing a pair of eyes looking out through the window gaps with unease.
They wanted to run, but the only exit was in chaos. All they could do was hide in their homes and wait for everything to end.
From time to time, groups of people could be seen rushing through the streets, heading straight for the town entrance.
"Bandits are here!?"
Lin Sheng walked on the town street, his brows tightly furrowed.
"How could it be at this time?"
He had thought that the Black Wind Bandits might not be able to sit still and would target Yangping Town sooner or later, but he didn't expect them to come so quickly.
"Fortunately, Father and Mother were sent away in advance, otherwise the current situation would be truly troublesome."
While surprised, he also wasn't very flustered.
After all, without worries, even when facing the Black Wind Bandits, he was confident he had the ability to protect himself. The main target of the Black Wind Bandits was Zhenshan Tower, not an unknown small figure like him.
He took Big Yellow and rushed towards another direction of the town. Since the town entrance was in fierce battle, they would leave from another direction.
However, after just a few steps, shouts of killing already came from the street.
It turned out that a group of black-clothed Black Wind Bandits had already charged in, hacking down several hunters who were supporting the town entrance, and then frantically plundering and destroying things in the town.
Soon, plumes of thick smoke rose from the town. The other party actually intended to directly set the town on fire.
"Father! Mother!!"
A child's crying sound rang out from the street. It was a woman who looked somewhat attractive, dragged out of the house by the bandits.
A man with a kitchen knife rushed out with red eyes, but he was instantly kicked to the ground and hacked to death by random blades.
A several-year-old girl kept crying and was also picked out of the house by a bandit using the tip of his saber to hook her clothes.
Similar scenes were constantly playing out on the street.
What followed was rampant and unrestrained sinister laughter.
"Hoo..."
Lin Sheng hurried a few steps with Big Yellow, but in the end, he still stopped.
"Wait here."
He glanced at Big Yellow, threw the package on the ground, and the next moment, his figure swiftly moved towards where the bandits were.
"Haha, take this woman away, and take this little girl too, she can be used in a couple of years..."
The bandits dragged the Mother and daughter, their faces full of lewd smiles.
"I don't think it will take two years. The Second Leader likes them this young... Give her to the Second Leader, maybe we can even get some rewards."
A short black-clothed bandit seemed to have thought of something and spoke.
"That's right, you're still the smart one. Let's do that."
The other bandits immediately agreed, nodding repeatedly. Just as they were about to turn back and praise the short bandit a few words.
Bang--
However, the next moment, a muffled sound rang out from behind.
The few people only felt their faces splashed with sticky liquid.
They wiped their eyes haphazardly, only to see the headless body of the short bandit falling backward.
The few people were startled at first, but quickly reacted, charging towards the suddenly appearing Lin Sheng with distorted expressions.
"Old Six, go kill this..."
Bang... Bang... Bang...
However, before they could finish speaking, Lin Sheng's figure had already disappeared from the spot.
Muffled sounds kept ringing out. In just a few breaths, several bandits were sent flying out, their chests caved in, clearly with no chance of survival.
"Find a place to hide."
Lin Sheng looked at the Mother and daughter and the others who had been plundered by these bandits, and his figure had already leaped away.
At this time, another group of bandits rushed onto the street, but before they could do anything, Lin Sheng was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. In just a few breaths, over a dozen bandits were already dead.
After all, being a person from modern society, he was still far from being able to be indifferent. Seeing life being trampled like this in front of him, he still couldn't help but make a move.
Lin Sheng quickly moved through the streets. In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, over thirty bandits had already died by his hands.
This also caused the street he was on to fall silent.
However, on other streets, the situation was getting worse.
"It's time to leave."
Letting out a breath, Lin Sheng didn't continue.
With his strength, it was impossible to kill all these Black Wind Bandits, and there were also Blood Transportation Warriors among them.
The rest could only be left to Zhenshan Tower. Having reached this point, Zhenshan Tower's trump card should also be revealed.
Turning back to where Big Yellow was, Big Yellow was constantly circling his luggage at this time, his eyes constantly scanning around, looking somewhat restless and uneasy.
"What's wrong? Did you sense something!?"
Seeing Big Yellow's appearance, Lin Sheng muttered to himself and didn't delay.
He picked up the package and quickly left towards the west side of the town.
And at the same time.
In the underground secret room of the Hunting Beast Hall Second Team's station in Yangping Town.
Wisps of greyish-blue mist rose up, originating from a red incense stick in Ouyang Yuan's hand, which was even thinner than a toothpick.
The underground secret room was quite large, but the mist emitted from this one incense stick quickly filled the entire secret room.
Ouyang Yuan, who was inside, was barely visible.
This secret room was a place that only he and Ouyang Shan knew about in the entire Zhenshan Tower.
No one would have thought that Zhenshan Tower's trump card would be located beneath the Second Team's station.
Even he was quite surprised when he learned of this secret.
Ouyang Yuan quietly waited for the incense stick in his hand to burn out.
Only after not a single bit was left did he sit cross-legged on the ground. Looking closely, there was a strange beast pattern drawn on the ground.
This was a strange beast resembling a giant insect, its appearance terrifying, like a locust magnified thousands or tens of thousands of times.
Ouyang Yuan came to the head area of the locust pattern, extended his palm, and pressed it on the locust's eye.
Click, click, click...
Like a chain reaction, sounds of mechanisms shifting came from the ground.
The next moment, dense circular small holes appeared on the ground.
The mist that was originally slowly surging in the secret room seemed to be pulled, suddenly surging towards the ground.
Like a colossal creature breathing, it sucked all the mist into the ground in just an instant.
Uh...
An inexplicable strange low hum slowly sounded from within the ground.
A cruel smile appeared on Ouyang Yuan's face. He drew a sharp dagger from his waist and slashed it across his wrist. Streams of bright red blood flowed out and sank into the circular holes in the ground.
Above the town, on the street where Lin Sheng killed the bandits, the blood flowing from the corpses on the ground also seemed to be pulled, flowing deep underground towards the depths.
The same scene was unfolding almost throughout the entire Yangping Town.
Especially at the battlefield at the town entrance, blood gathered together like a small stream, flowing towards the ground.
At this time, the battle at the town entrance had basically ended. The result was that most of Zhenshan Tower's guards and hunters were killed or injured and retreated, while the Black Wind Bandits, waving their weapons, excitedly poured into the town. No one noticed this unusual scene at all.
"It's come to this point and it still hasn't come out!? Could that so-called reliance just be a smokescreen?"
Outside the town, Black Bear stroked his chin, watching his subordinates rush into the town in a frenzy. A look of suspicion appeared on his face.
"Forget it, that fool Chen Fengqing is being held up by those two old things. Since that's the case, I'll go in and capture that boy Ouyang Yuan first."
He was playing with a jade pendant in his hand. The character 'Yuan' was carved on the pendant.
He placed the jade pendant under his nose, sniffed lightly, remembering the scent on it. Black Bear took out a finely forged iron rod from behind him, dragging it on the ground, and charged towards the town.
The owner of this jade pendant was precisely Ouyang Yuan. Chai Lu had somehow obtained it.
The reason he was called Black Bear was not just because of his cruel nature, but more because he had an extremely sensitive nose.
Even canines that were very good at smelling couldn't compare to him at all.
As long as he remembered a scent, he could basically find it within a radius of several miles.
This ability could be said to have saved him from death countless times, and it had never disappointed him until now.
Therefore, he was confident that as long as Ouyang Yuan was in Yangping Town, he would definitely not escape his grasp, and he would be able to find him before long.
Ignoring the fierce fighting sounds coming from the pavilion, Black Bear just twitched his nose, quickly locked onto the location, and went straight towards a direction in the town.
