As the thief got closer and closer, Zhu Wu's hands trembled uncontrollably.
He had never killed anyone in his two lifetimes. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.
However, Zhu Wu knew that in this chaotic world, he had to overcome this obstacle and harden his heart.
If you don't kill people, people will kill you!
In a chaotic world, tigers and wolves ran amok. Weakness was the original sin and the path to death.
Zhu Wu didn't want to die. It wasn't easy for him to transmigrate for a while, but he got an unreliable system and became the younger brother of the founding emperor of Ming Dynasty.
No matter what, he had to endure until his third brother became the emperor!
"Brothers, we must not let these thieves harm the family behind them.”
Xu Da shouted loudly and rushed towards the thief.
The seven or eight young men behind him hesitated. After all, they were only farmers and not real warriors.
The first to follow was the youngest, Zhu Wu.
His expression turned ruthless, and he steeled his heart. He raised his saber and chased after Xu Da.
Zhu Yi hurriedly followed.
Zhou Dexing was stunned. Then, he turned his head and said,""Are you people not even as good as a kid?？What are you afraid of? Kill as I please!"
Zhou Dexing raised his knife and rushed out.
The remaining young men were either provoked by Zhu Wu's behavior or moved by Zhou Dexing's words. Perhaps they were both. They all shouted and gathered their courage to charge at the thief.
Xu Da's martial arts were really amazing.
He took a few steps forward and dashed in front of the thieves. In an instant, the great spear in his hand flicked twice. The two thieves screamed and fell to the ground with a gunshot in their chests.
Zhu Wu, who was following closely behind him, felt his heart beating violently. The hand that was holding the knife was even trembling slightly. However, he was not afraid. He screamed and pounced on a thief.
The thief was holding a wood-chopping axe in his hand. He was short and strong. Seeing that Zhu Wu was only a young boy, he couldn't help but look down on him. He raised the axe and blocked the attack.
Unexpectedly, the strength of the knife was unexpectedly great. The short and strong thief, who was not mentally prepared, was pressed down by the knife along with his axe and arm. The front end of the blade cut from the thief's scalp to his chin, cutting half of his face.
Ah!
The short thief screamed.
Zhu Wu was extremely excited.
F * ck, could this old man be a pervert?
Without any time to think, the knife in Zhu Wu's hand had already followed the muscle memory of long-term training and slit the throat of the short and strong thief.
After killing one person, Zhu Wu's entire body was trembling. He did not feel nauseous at all.
He was excited and felt an inexhaustible power in his body. He knew that this was an illusion caused by adrenaline.
However, it was just right for the current him.
Zhu Wu shouted and charged forward with his saber. He avoided a wooden spear and crashed into the chest of the thief who was holding the spear. The saber kept entering and leaving his chest.
Xu Da held the great spear passed down from his ancestors, and the corner of his eye had been paying attention to Zhu Wu's direction. He had thought that the fledgling Xiao Jiu would be at a loss, but he did not expect this kid to be incomparably brave and not have stage fright at all.
Good boy, as expected of my Brother Chongba's younger brother!
Zhou Dexing, who was behind, was also very surprised by Zhu Wu's performance.
Ever since this kid came back from the famine last year, he had changed a lot. In the past, this child was listless and a little stubborn. After he came back from the famine, he suddenly became much more cheerful and could endure hardships more.
In the past, this kid had always been unwilling to practice martial arts with them. Every time he did the horse stance, he would complain bitterly. He always had various reasons to slack off. Because he was the youngest child in the family, everyone doted on him. Even the Heavy Myna could not do anything about him.
Unexpectedly, after returning this time, he became more diligent. Not only did he not complain, but he even took the initiative to ask to practice martial arts. The key was that he really persevered.
Now that he saw Xiao Jiu fighting the bandits like a crazy tiger without any fear, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The old people often said that a prodigal son returning to his former self was worth more than gold, and there was indeed some truth to it.
This Xiao Jiu would definitely be someone in the future!
There were only seven or eight people in this group of thieves who were truly capable of fighting. The rest were just there to make up the numbers. Each of them was sallow and emaciated. One look and one could tell that they were refugees who had just been pulled into the group.
Of course, if these refugees followed the old thieves and robbed a few more villages and killed a few more people, they would soon be assimilated into the same people as those old thieves.
Zhu Wu had killed five people. The only one that made him feel uncomfortable was the short and strong thief from before and the second one who was stabbed to death by him with a wooden spear. The other three were all killed in one slash.
Other than Xu Da, he had killed the most people.
Zhu Yi killed two people, both of whom wanted to sneak attack Zhu Wu during the chaos. His movements were nimble, and his attacks were concise. It was a typical battle array saber technique.
Xu Da had killed seven bandits by himself, and he still had the energy to observe Zhu Wu and Zhu Yi beside him.
He was observing Zhu Wu to protect him.
As for Zhu Yi, there was a sense of surveillance in it.
This was what the Heavy Myna had instructed.
After all, Zhu Yi was an outsider. Even though Zhu Zhongba had already made a judgment in his heart, it was impossible for him to completely trust him. Before he left, he instructed Xu Da, Zhou Dexing, and the others to take care of him.
Could this Zhu Yi be a deserter from the army?
Seeing Zhu Yi's saber technique, Xu Da thought to himself.
Xu Da, Zhu Wu, and Zhu Yi had killed 14 bandits. Adding on the two that Zhou Dexing had killed, more than half of the 20 bandits were gone.
The rest were scared out of their wits and turned to run. Then, they were chased by the excited villagers for ten miles.
In the end, only one thief escaped, and the remaining one fell. They even captured two alive.
The villagers who had participated in killing the thieves were all very excited. They talked about their feelings during the battle, bragged about their bravery, and laughed at their companions who had not made it in time to fight…
On the other hand, Zhu Wu felt a sense of dullness after the incident, just like the time of the sages after that.
He pulled Zhu Yi back home, and the other young men also went home. The village was lively again.
The two thieves were still alive, but they were taken away by Xu Da and Zhou Dexing, saying that they wanted to interrogate them.
Returning to the dilapidated courtyard, Zhu Wu found a wooden stool and sat down. He began to recall the scene when he fought with the bandits.
Don't misunderstand. Zhu Wu was not a pervert. He just wanted to find out what he had missed out in the battle or what he had not done well.
This kind of follow-up was a habit he had developed in his previous life.
Zhu Wu didn't speak, and Zhu Yi didn't speak either. They just stood silently by his side, and the courtyard became quiet.
Zhu Wu's memory had always been very strong, and it had become even stronger after he transmigrated. He almost had a photographic memory.
He did not know if it was because of the transmigration or the effect of the system heat flow.
The scene of the battle was vivid in his mind. It was like a high-definition image, flipping page by page.
