In the small mountain village.
The ten Hu bandits shouted as their warhorses drew closer.
The hundreds of villagers in the village were even more flustered.
Some of the more timid ones even started sobbing softly.
They had lived in the border for a long time, even though they had not seen any traces of the Hu bandits for twenty years.
However, every now and then, he would hear from faraway merchants which villages had been looted by the Hu bandits and which towns had been massacred by the Hu bandits.
However, when the once unattainable misfortune truly befell them…
They could no longer be like before when they heard bad news from other places and only felt a little sympathy.
In an instant, panic spread.
"What should I do, what should I do…"
"The Hu bandits are here. They won't let us go.”
"Father, mother, I am afraid…"
"Ah! I'm only eighteen years old. I don't want to die!”
Voices rose and fell from the crowd.
Some of the originally calm Qin men felt their legs go weak.
At this moment, a white-haired old man shouted in a low voice.
"Shut up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the hundreds of villagers immediately fell silent.
There were only a few soft sobs that could not be suppressed.
It was enough to show the dignity of the old man among the villagers.
This old man was the village's top cadre, the Village Chief.
The highest administrative officer within a radius of one mile was equivalent to the village chief in the future.
At this moment, Li Zheng's stern gaze swept across everyone.
She was so angry that her hand that was holding onto her walking stick was trembling slightly.
"What's wrong? After being protected by Elder Bai for so many years, have you gotten used to it?”
"Have your bones gone soft after twenty years? Or had he forgotten his identity as a Qin citizen?”
After a series of questions, the sturdy men in the village lowered their heads in shame.
That's right, twenty years ago, before Master Bai came to the village.
Didn't their previous generation fight and kill with those Hu thieves?
Why was it that when it came to their generation, this kind of bloodlust was completely worn away?
At the thought of this, a few sturdy Qin men raised their heads and looked at the chief with burning eyes.
"Lord Li Zheng, please give your orders!"
"The few of us are at your disposal.”
"Yes! The Hu thief was furious, but we Qin people are not to be trifled with!”
When the Li Zheng heard this, he nodded slightly.
Only with such an attitude could he be a man of the Great Qin Empire.
At that moment, the Li Zheng didn't waste any time and gave a series of orders.
"Find someone fast and go to the county to inform the garrison.”
"Men in their prime, go home and get your farming tools ready for battle.”
"The rest of you, go home and stay there. No one is allowed to come out!”
The chief was indeed the highest officer in the village.
Previously, due to Old Master Bai's existence, the two of them were still in the same boat.
It was almost forgotten by everyone for more than twenty years.
Now that Old Master Bai had left, his usefulness was finally shown.
In just a few words, the panic was stopped.
His words aroused the fighting spirit of the men, and they arranged their countermeasures in an orderly manner.
Next, they could only wait for the Hu thieves to come knocking.
......
At this moment, Li Zheng caught a glimpse of Bai Ze under the poplar tree at the village entrance from the corner of his eye, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.
He called out to Bai Ze's back in a low voice,""Child, the thief is here. Come back quickly!”
In the Li Zheng's heart, he had always sympathized with this child.
His life was already very rough, and the only person he was close to had passed away.
From now on, he would be all alone in the world.
Thinking of this, Li Zheng's nose felt a little sour.
He made up his mind that Master Bai would protect their village for twenty years.
Now that Old Master Bai was gone, the child he left behind was still alive.
No matter what, he had to protect it, even if it meant giving up his old life!
This was another way to repay Master Bai's kindness.
However, no matter how he called out.
Under the poplar tree, Bai Ze just stared blankly at the Hu Thief in front of him, not moving at all.
"Ta Ta Ta!"
The sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, and the ground shook.
Seeing that the Hu Thief was about to arrive, Li Zheng was extremely anxious.
He hurriedly took two steps forward, wanting to pull her back at all costs.
However, just as he took a step forward, he stopped.
Then, he staggered a few steps back.
After he stood still, his legs were still trembling.
Following his horrified gaze, Bai Ze's thin back was still under the old poplar tree.
In an instant, his aura changed.
A strong killing intent spread out from his body.
The air was filled with the faint smell of blood, making Li Zheng feel as if he was in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
This was…
Li Zheng's eyes widened in shock. Compared to the others in the village, he was considered knowledgeable.
He had heard about this experience before.
This was called killing intent, also known as baleful aura.
Only those who had experienced countless battles or killed many people would have it.
He had once experienced this kind of murderous aura from Master Bai.
Twenty years ago, Master Bai brought Bai Zechu to this place.
Back then, hundreds of Hu bandits had robbed this place.
At that time, Master Bai had to face hundreds of Hu thieves alone.
This was the kind of killing intent that was emitted from his body.
In that battle, hundreds of Hu bandits died under Master Bai's sword. None of them escaped.
Ever since that incident, Li Zheng realized that Old Master Bai was not simple.
After seeing the Qin sword that Master Bai carried with him, he was even more certain of his identity.
Master Bai was once a soldier of the Empire!
In the years that followed, there were no more blind bandits who came to invade.
Master Bai never showed that kind of aura again.
However, no matter what.
Li Zheng was extremely respectful to this old man who was more than ten years older than him.
That was the respect that the Qin people had for the strong.
......
But now, when this killing intent was emitted from Bai Ze's body, Li Zheng was extremely shocked.
The reason was simple. Bai Ze was only twenty years old.
Furthermore, he had always appeared in front of everyone as a thin and sickly figure.
Where did he get such an astonishing killing intent from?
One had to know that although this killing intent was not as dense as the one on Master Bai's body.
However, it was obviously not something that could be condensed by killing one or two small animals.
One had to kill people, and it had to be hundreds or thousands of people to form it.
Thinking of this, Li Zheng's legs went weak and he almost sat down.
Killing hundreds of thousands of people at the age of twenty?
'How is this possible…'
......
At the entrance of the village, under an old poplar tree.
Bai Ze stared at the ten Hu bandits who were riding over.
A layer of strange red mist appeared in his eyes. It was extremely strange.
At the same time, his body involuntarily released the killing intent that came with the Human Slaughterer System.
It felt like he had met his natural enemy, or his prey.
A strong desire arose in his heart.
And that was to kill them!
Under the poplar tree.
Bai Ze slowly stood up.
Clang! The Qin Sword in his hand was unsheathed.
He held the Qin sword in one hand and blocked the way into the village.
Behind him, a few strong men who had gone home to get farming tools happened to see this scene.
He was a little anxious and wanted to pull Bai Ze back, but was stopped by Li Zheng.
The men were puzzled and stared at the Li Zheng in disbelief.
"Trust him!" Li Zheng shook his head and said.”
As he spoke, he looked at the village entrance again.
Under the morning light, a thin figure and an ancient Qin sword appeared.
He stood between the village and the Hu bandits.
This scene was very similar to what happened twenty years ago.
However, the old man had been replaced by a skinny young man.
Unknowingly, Li Zheng's slightly cloudy eyes started to mist.
......
At this moment, the ten Hu bandits had already arrived in front of the village.
From afar, their horses began to become restless and stopped early.
He paced back and forth several dozen meters away from the village entrance, unwilling to move forward no matter how hard the Hu bandits whipped their horses.
At this moment, the leader of the bandits sniffed the faint scent of blood.
Only then did he feel that something was wrong. He looked dozens of meters away.
A thin and weak figure was standing in front of the village.
The bandit leader's gaze moved up and down his body.
In the end, it stopped on the Qin sword in his hand.
His pupils shrank imperceptibly.
"Are you a soldier of the State of Qin?"”
When Bai Ze heard this, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Not in the past, but in the future.”
"However, that day…You can't see it anymore!"
