Mu Wanqing, who was standing side by side, saw it the most clearly. She quickly whispered in the team channel,""Don't panic. It seems like your plan is working. They should have the intention to communicate. Don't attack now, or all your previous efforts will be wasted.”
Li Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and advanced instead of retreating. He rode his horse forward and threw the Wolf Fang Saber at the bandit leader at the front.
"Do you recognize this item?"
He didn't throw it with much force, and it wasn't even very accurate.
However, he couldn't stand the other party's swift hands and eyes. With a stomp of his foot, he crossed more than ten meters and grabbed the saber in his hand.
The bare-chested man with bulging muscles pulled out his Wolf Fang Blade. He looked at the charred black on the blade and raised his eyebrows."This is Chief's saber, I naturally recognize it. May I ask who you are and why you have come to my Black Wind Mountain?”
Li Xiuyuan nodded slightly and conjured the secret order of the bad guys. He waved it twice and said,"Do you recognize this item?"
The burly man's body trembled as he cupped his hands and said,"Sir, there are no demons around my Black Wind Mountain.”
Li Xiuyuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his respectful expression.
It was naturally great to be able to fool, oh, no, communicate.
Li Xiuyuan put away the secret order and said leisurely,"Heavenly Lord Immeasurable, I'm just a nobody of the bad guys." Originally, we cultivators are better at slaying demons. However, the matter of Black Wind Mountain snatching the Cai Manor's daughter has already reached the higher-ups. This Penniless Priest and Great Master are old friends, so I can only make a tiring trip. Release that woman quickly, or I don't want to kill more people. But this girl behind me has killed people like flies, and she won't show mercy when she fights.”
Anne almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. However, Mu Wanqing also knew that this was a critical moment, so she didn't dare to ruin it. She could only let him slander her.
The bandit with the saber on his back gritted his teeth silently. After a long while, he took a deep breath and sighed."She…she's gone? Cut the crap. If you want to fight, then fight. None of us in Black Wind Mountain are afraid of death.”
Li Xiuyuan was shocked and thought to himself, F * ck! Could it be that his luck was so bad that he encountered a small probability event?
"Why do you say that?" As far as I know, your Chief isn't a bad person. Could it be that the woman was actually so unyielding? Yi Ran…"
Mu Wanqing rode her horse forward, her eyes filled with killing intent as she said,""Taoist priest, since this matter can't be resolved, please step back. After I slaughter this Black Wind Mountain, I will give the Cai Residence an explanation!!”
Killing intent also appeared in the eyes of the saber-wielding bandit. The veins on his hand bulged as he gripped the hilt of his saber tightly, as if he was ready to catch a rabbit before he died.
Li Xiuyuan hurriedly stopped Hu Niu and said in the party channel,"Wait, since the mission didn't fail, it means that there's still a possibility of redemption. Let's negotiate again. At least we won't be at a disadvantage in terms of intelligence.”
When Mu Wanqing heard this, she didn't object and simply stood guard in front of Li Xiuyuan.
She also knew that it wasn't appropriate to slaughter an entire family just based on this statement. However, when it came to a woman's innocence, this was definitely the most unbearable thing for a woman.
Li Xiuyuan took out the Wind and Thunder Talisman and said loudly,"The heavens have the virtue of cherishing life. Although I don't want to do anything, if your Black Wind Mountain is really that bad, I don't mind summoning lightning to destroy it. If there's something hidden, tell me!"
The burly man with the saber on his back was silent for a long time. Only then did he return the Wolf Fang Saber to its sheath and respectfully hand it over his head as he slowly walked over.
At this point, Li Xiuyuan was no longer worried.
Firstly, Mu Wanqing's sword, combined with Anne's bean soldier casting technique, should be able to handle the mission without any problems.
Even if Mu Wanqing couldn't handle the two, she still had the Immobilizing Pearl in her hand. This thing could even freeze a demon for a few seconds, let alone a mere mortal.
It was obvious that these bandits had high Stamina or Strength. With this magic treasure, it should not be a problem for them to last for seven to eight seconds. At that time, it would be enough…enough for him to escape on horseback.
Seeing Li Xiuyuan take the Wolf Fang Saber, the man carrying the saber heaved a sigh of relief and said,"Daoist Priest is benevolent. I am the Second Leader of Black Wind Mountain. The day before yesterday, when he went down the mountain with his brothers to cut the path, he saw the Cai family's young lady walking by. The chief praised that the little lady was very beautiful. Thus, yesterday, while the Chief was out, I captured him and brought him up the mountain.”
"That Cai Manor's young lady has a secret treasure protecting her, so we naturally can't get close. Just this morning, there was a sudden gust of wind and a fairy came. She broke open my Black Wind Mountain's prison with a single sword and took away that little lady. Presumably, that little lady had already returned to the government office! I'm telling the truth. Please examine me.”
Li Xiuyuan and Mu Wanqing looked at each other in disdain.
There seemed to be no flaw in his words, but there were two very big loopholes.
Since the chief had taken a fancy to the little lady on the outing, then it would be fine to directly make a move with a group of people. There was no need to wait until the next day.
Moreover, what was even stranger was that he had to wait until the chief went out before he forcefully snatched the woman.
He said that he was showing respect to his boss, but there was no need to wait until after he left.
Secondly, since he was saved by an immortal, why did he have to hide it before? Moreover, with the strength of the scaled horses, there was no reason for them to miss the other party.
Li Xiuyuan silently pulled the reins and turned around. After the scaled horse had walked more than ten meters, he said without looking back,"Miss Mu, I have already given him a chance. Since he refused to tell the truth, he would turn him into a corpse and bring him back. Today, I will only kill the main culprit. Anyone else who dares to offend the Great Tang will be killed.”
When Mu Wanqing heard this, a smile appeared on her jade-like face.
The sword was unsheathed, and the dragon's roar resounded in the surroundings.
With the blade in hand, Mu Wanqing's gentle temperament instantly turned into a heroic swordsman.
The long sword swung, drawing out a half-moon arc of light.
As soon as the light appeared, even Li Xiuyuan, who was more than ten meters away, could feel the cold and stimulating chill on the blade. It was as if the cold sword qi had crossed more than ten meters of space and was directly kissing his throat.
Although the Second Leader had already mentally prepared himself, the thought of rushing to attack disappeared the moment the other party attacked.
It was obviously too late to retreat. He quickly changed his moves and raised his saber to protect his face, throat, and heart.
The Second Head's moves could not be said to be slow. However, under such a stunning sword light, he was still much slower.
The sword swept across, and a gap suddenly appeared on the Second Leader's saber.
The sharpness of the sword light swept past the area where his eyes were at, and a flower of blood suddenly bloomed.
Even though he subconsciously closed his eyes to dodge, a bloody line still cut open a hole on the second-in-charge's left eyelid.
Fresh blood seeped into the lens of his eyeball, and his vision instantly blurred.
