On the outskirts of Luoyang, the sun was shining brightly. Dozens of riders were rapidly approaching. The handsome youth in the lead exuded a noble aura.
"Your Majesty, the Lianyun Mountain is in front of us. There are bandits running rampant in the barren mountains and evil ridges…"
Behind him, an evil god riding a tall Nightmare reminded him. He was Dian Wei, and the mount he rode was the strongest Nightmare.
Its body was burning with black flames, and its four hooves stepped on the hellish flames. It walked silently. It was an extremely powerful and strange Nightmare Warbeast.
"Bandits?" Xia Chen frowned when he heard that. It was as he had imagined. The world was in chaos, and demons were everywhere. The entire world was in chaos.
Now, the area around Luoyang was full of bandits. They were even affected by the erosion of demonic qi. Countless bandits were extremely vicious and had become especially ferocious.
"Hiss…"
Suddenly, the neigh of horses came from the foot of the mountain in front of them. They seemed to be in a panic, and they could vaguely hear the sound of fighting.
Needless to say, Dian Wei immediately led dozens of imperial guards to surround Xia Chen in the center, vigilantly looking at the foot of the mountain ahead.
There was a group of vicious people surrounding a few carriages, constantly attacking and killing the guards guarding the carriages.
"What a pretty little lady. Brothers, kill these guards and bring this little lady up the mountain to be the chief bandit chief's wife.”
A fierce-looking bandit leader stared excitedly at one of the carriages. There were two people curled up inside, an old woman and a young girl.
The young girl was sixteen years old, and she had a peerless beauty that could topple cities and countries. She was surrounded by the bandits and curled up in the carriage.
"Ah…!"
A group of guards screamed in pain. In the blink of an eye, they were all killed by this group of vicious bandits. Not only were these bandits vicious and cruel, but they also had extraordinary strength.
Seeing this from afar, Xia Chen couldn't help but frown. He could tell at a glance that these bandits had been corroded by a trace of demonic energy.
"These people have been eroded by the demonic qi and become extremely vicious and inhumane. Dian Wei, go.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Dian Wei and a group of imperial guards beside him galloped away. One after another, the Nightmare Warbeasts silently rushed over and killed their way in from behind the group of bandits in the blink of an eye.
"Ah!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
In an instant, dozens of bandits were killed by Dian Wei's halberd. Their bodies were smashed into pieces and scattered everywhere.
Hundreds of bandits immediately woke up. The bandit leader waved his steel knife and shouted with a ferocious expression,"You're courting death, brothers. Kill them.”
"Kill them!"
All the bandits roared and charged forward, brandishing their weapons. The moment they fought, the bandit leader was terrified.
Dian Wei led dozens of imperial guards, riding on the Nightmare Warbeasts, and their speed was too fast. In just a short while, they had pierced through hundreds of bandits.
Boom!
Flesh and blood splattered everywhere. Dian Wei killed dozens of bandits by himself. In the blink of an eye, these hundred bandits were instantly killed, leaving only the bandit leader trembling on his horse.
Thud!
"Hero, spare me!"
The bandit leader immediately got off his horse and knelt on the ground. He begged Dian Wei for mercy with a terrified expression.
Unfortunately, Dian Wei didn't pay any attention to him. He only looked at the young man who was riding a nightmare warbeast.
He was Xia Chen. As for the Nightmare Warbeast he rode on, it was a Nightmare King that he had exchanged from the system.
Puff!
The King of Nightmares sneezed and spat out two balls of eerie purple flames, burning the ground until it was rotting and smoking.
This scene scared the bandit leader so much that he directly peed his pants. A disgusting stench spread out.
"Tell me, how many people are there in your village, and who is the chief?”
Xia Chen walked up and looked down at the bandit leader. His words scared the other party.
"I'm from Mount Lianyun, and I'm the leader of the village. I have five thousand brothers on the mountain. The first bandit chief's surname is Guo, and the second bandit chief's surname is Li. I'm not sure about the rest.”After the bandit leader finished speaking, he looked at Xia Chen in fear and kept begging for mercy.
Puff!
A head flew into the air, and blood sprayed all over the ground. The bandit leader did not believe that Xia Chen would directly cut him down even if he died.
After killing the bandit leader, Xia Chen slowly rode the Dream Demon King to the front of a carriage and looked at the two people curled up in the carriage.
The old woman's face was pale. She looked like the girl's nanny or something. Instead, a fourteen-year-old girl curled up in the corner was staring at Xia Chen with her beautiful eyes wide open. Her bright eyes were extremely moving.
"Miss, everything is fine now." Xia Chen said softly.
Perhaps after seeing that the bandits were all killed, the girl in the carriage slowly walked out of the carriage. Looking at the dead bandits around her, she bowed slightly to Xia Chen.
"I am Bu Lian Shi. Thank you for saving my life, Young Master.”
This girl's voice was very pleasant, like the ethereal cry of an oriole. Xia Chen was surprised by her name.
"Bu Lian Shi?" Xia Chen looked at her thoughtfully, nodded slightly, and said,""Miss, Luoyang City is not far ahead. You should leave as soon as possible.”
"The two of you, escort this lady into Luoyang.”
Xia Chen ordered two imperial guards to escort the Infantry Master into the capital while he led Dian Wei and the rest of the imperial guards to Lianyun Mountain.
Looking at Xia Chen's back, Bu Lian Shi's beautiful eyes sparkled. Unfortunately, as if she had thought of something, her eyes gradually dimmed.
"Thank you, two warriors. Let's go!”
After the Bu Lian master finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the carriage. Under the escort of two imperial guards, he safely arrived at Luoyang City.
..........
In Lianyun Mountain, there was a huge stronghold. A dense group of soldiers were training there. The momentum was terrifying and did not look like bandits at all.
"General Guo, we don't have enough food here.”
A group of generals were discussing in the central meeting hall of the stronghold. The leader was Guo Si, Dong Zhuo's former general.
Beside him, the one who spoke was Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. His face was much paler and his beard had grown much longer.
However, the viciousness in his eyes did not decrease at all. Instead, it became more and more ferocious, like a poisonous snake.
"Everyone, can we fight against the current emperor with just this few people?”
Guo Si said unhappily. He glanced at everyone around him and continued,"I think we should just surrender. Look at Lu Bu and the others, they are all marquises now.”
As soon as he said this, all the generals present were tempted. After all, it was really hard to be happy to be a thief here.
However, Li Ru's eyes were cold and murderous. He suddenly smiled and said,"Alright, since all of you have the intention, I won't stop you.”
"Come, let's drink this glass of wine. Everyone can do whatever they want.”As Li Ru spoke, he took the lead and downed the wine.
Soon after, Guo Si, Niu Fu, and the other generals all raised their heads and downed the wine in their hands.
"Uh..."
"Not good, there's... Poison…"
In the next moment, Guo Si and the others 'expressions changed drastically. They stood up in shock and looked at the calm Li Ru. They suddenly realized that they had been poisoned.
As expected, Li Ru looked at them with a vicious expression and said word by word,""All of you are afraid of death and want to surrender to the Heaven Child. Since that's the case, I'll send you to the west.”
"You... Puff!" Guo Si's face turned red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He fell down on the spot and died instantly.
Dead. Along with Guo Si being poisoned to death, the remaining generals fell one by one, poisoned to death by Li Ru.
"Men, bring the two girls we captured yesterday.”
After killing this group of people, Li Ru gave the order as if nothing had happened. He saw two soldiers outside bring two peerless young girls.
These two girls were actually sisters, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao?
"I heard that you two sisters are going to participate in the talent show?”Li Ru looked at Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao sinisterly, scaring the two sisters.
They did not expect that they would be captured here. Today, they were just taking a walk on the streets. They did not expect to be knocked unconscious and taken away by a few burly men.
When he woke up, he was in the Lianyun Stronghold. He was terrified and realized that he was done for.
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were filled with inexplicable grief and indignation. Looking at the ferocious and vicious Li Ru in front of them, they could not help but feel fear in their hearts, and their beautiful faces turned pale.
"Don't worry, as long as you sisters are obedient, I won't do anything to you.”Li Ru consoled him.
These words made Xiao Qiao tremble and she became even more afraid. However, the sisters still had hope.
"What do you want us to do?" Da Qiao calmed down a little and asked.
Li Ru's eyes were filled with hatred as he said word by word,""I want the two of you to help me get close to the current emperor, and then"
"Ah…"
Boom!
At this moment, a violent explosion came from outside, followed by a series of miserable screams, interrupting Li Ru's words.
