Horse Bandit Mountain.
Ancient Wood Wolf Forest, cliff.
In the continuous mountain range, there were many strange mountains.
The bandit strongholds were hidden in the dangerous mountains. They were like malignant tumors that harmed the people and slaughtered the caravans passing by from the north to the south.
Today.
The lone woodcutter at the foot of the mountain watched over the horses for more than ten unfamiliar faces. He even received three to four taels of silver as a reward and was very happy.
After those people left, the seemingly simple and honest woodcutter's smile disappeared. His face became gloomy, and his gaze was fierce. His expression changed faster than flipping a book.
He immediately turned around and returned to a thatched cottage.
After a while, the woodcutter came out with a few grayish-white pigeons in his rough hands.
He released his hands, and the grey-white messenger pigeon flapped its wings a few times and immediately flew up. Like an old horse that knew the way, it flew towards the few mountains of the Horse Bandits Mountain.
"18 of them, 15 of them are aggressive, burly, and look like they're trained. They're armed with swords and shields.”
"There are also two women. One is more beautiful than the other. One of them carries a long sword on her back.”
"The other one is wearing a light veil, and her figure is curvy and perky. Tsk tsk…she's also carrying a cloth bag on her back, and there might be a zither inside.”
"But that handsome young man in luxurious clothes looks like a good-for-nothing!”
"He brought so many people up the mountain. I'm afraid he's the son of a big shot in the army of the Great Qian Dynasty. He wants to kill a few bandits to earn some credit.”
After the woodcutter released the messenger pigeon, a cruel smile appeared on his face.
"Really? Do I look like a good-for-nothing?”
At this moment.
A young man in black clothes walked out from behind a tree not far away.
When the woodcutter saw Li Xiuyuan, he was stunned.
"You…you didn't leave?"
Li Xiuyuan leaned against the old tree with cracked bark and said with a smile,""I saw you, a woodcutter, living alone at the foot of the mountain to chop firewood, so I became suspicious, so I stayed to take a look.”
"As expected, I can see quite a few problems.”
Li Xiuyuan's gaze gradually turned cold.
"On the surface, he was a woodcutter who claimed that he wanted to eliminate the bandits, but he was secretly colluding with the bandits in the mountains!”
"Cutting firewood at the foot of the mountain is a lie, but gathering information and reporting information is the truth!”
The woodcutter was stunned for a long time and asked in puzzlement,""How did I give myself away?"
Li Xiuyuan pursed his lips and gestured to the scattered firewood beside the wooden stake.
"He's been slacking off all day and hasn't chopped much firewood. One look and I can tell that he's not a woodcutter.”
The woodcutter came to a realization and then laughed loudly.
"Hehe, so what if you saw through me?”
"I've already sent out the messenger pigeon!”
"Now…"
The woodcutter stared fiercely at Li Xiuyuan.
"Not only will the dozen or so people under your command die, but the two beauties you brought with you will also die!”
"Maybe at night, I can taste it for you and see if the two beauties are moist!!”
"Hahahaha…"
Facing the woodcutter's wild laughter, Li Xiuyuan was not angry. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up into a mocking smile.
He mocked him for overestimating his own strength and being delusional!
"The carrier pigeon you mentioned, could it be that you want to send these letters?”
Li Xiuyuan opened his hand, and in his palm, there were small pieces of paper.
"Impossible!"
The woodcutter's eyes widened, and all of a sudden…he couldn't laugh anymore!
"I, I clearly sent out the messenger pigeon.”
"How could someone catch the messenger pigeons that were flying away and take out the letter!？”
"Could it be…"
The woodcutter looked at the black-robed youth once more, his eyes filled with shock.
A cultivator!
"Looks like you're not too stupid."
Li Xiuyuan threw the note on the ground and clapped his hands.
Fear flashed in the woodcutter's eyes. He hurriedly grabbed the axe that was stabbed into the wooden stake and shouted,""You want to kill me?"
"Me? Kill you?"
Li Xiuyuan was still leaning against the tree trunk with his arms crossed and sneered.
"Why would I need to kill you?"
"Yanzhi."
"Yes, son-in-law!"
Following his soft call, Yanzhi, who was wearing a red dress, walked out from behind the tree.
"You said that the sword that son-in-law gave me was flashy but not practical? Now, I'll let you see how this sword is like!”
Yan Zhi shouted.
Clang!
She pulled out the green scale bone sword on her back, stood under the old tree, and swung the sword.
The woodcutter's pupils constricted.
The sword Qi that he had expected did not strike out. Instead, the sword body suddenly disintegrated. With a clanging sound, it turned into bone whips that were thrown straight at him.
The woodcutter hurriedly raised his axe to block!
"Swoosh…"
A green sword light flashed.
Yanzhi raised her arm and retracted it. The body of the bone whip quickly retracted and reassembled into the green scale bone sword.
"Hmph, let's see if you still have a cheap mouth."
Yan Zhi snorted lightly and turned around to stand in front of Li Xiuyuan. She held the hilt of her sword with one hand and cupped her fists with the other."Guye, Yanzhi did not fail her mission."
"How can I fail to kill a mortal?" Li Xiuyuan laughed.”
"Let's go and see if they succeeded in climbing the mountain.”
Li Xiuyuan, Yanzhi, and Mengyao Zhao left.
They had just left.
The axe in the woodcutter's hand broke into two halves.
As for himself, a line of blood appeared between his eyebrows and nose bridge.
In the next moment.
The woodcutter's body split open neatly, and he fell to the ground in a bloody mess.
……
In the mountains.
More than a dozen fierce figures shuttled through the Ancient Wood Wolf Forest like agile apes and swift cheetahs.
When they arrived at the craggy mountain peak, they walked as if they were walking on flat ground. They stepped on the protruding rocks and quickly rushed up the cliff.
Dragon Snake Village.
The bandit guarding the gate stood on the archer tower and yawned.
"What's the point of Chief asking us to guard it every day?”
"That's right. Our stockade is built here. It's easy to defend and difficult to attack. The soldiers can't attack at all.”
"As for the first-rate experts in the martial arts world, who would care about us?”
"Moreover, if one or two first-rate experts were to come, how could they possibly withstand our precious Meteor Heavy Crossbows?”
The two bandits had nothing to do and were chatting with each other.
"Speaking of which, didn't a white-robed monk come to the village a few days ago?”
"Yeah, I heard that he's a Buddhist. His magic power is strong and powerful!”
"Didn't I hear that the white-robed monk wanted to take us to destroy the village and rob the richest man in Lin An Prefecture? Why haven't you made a move yet?"
"Hush, I heard that the white-robed monk is using a divine ability called the Great Dream Heart Sutra. Once the monk wakes up, he can go.”
"Sigh…I was so anxious. Didn't the monk sleep for two nights and one day? He still hasn't woken up!”
At this moment.
Li Daniu and Li Tiezhu led the other 13 servants and finally reached Dragon Snake Stronghold.
"Look, there's someone!"
"Damn it, there really are enemies, and there are more than ten of them?”
"How did they get up here?"
"Don't tell me that these people are all first-rate masters in the martial world!”
The bandits on the arrow tower were shocked, and their eyes almost popped out.
"Hurry up and set up the Meteor Heavy Crossbows!"
The two Meteor Heavy Crossbows in the Arrow Tower slowly rotated and aimed at Li Daniu and the others.
The other arrow tower also had two Shooting Star Heavy Ballistas set up, and they were also mobilized!
