Chapter 16 The First Killing
Xia Xue took deep breaths while running, which was one of the ways that her father taught her to quickly stabilize her mind when she was in a crisis and panicked. Her brain was running at high speed, and the reason for her defeat was that she was afraid of killing people at close range in her heart.
Although she had fearlessly hunted tigers and other beasts in close quarters, they were animals, not humans. Growing so big, although Xia Xue has killed a lot of beasts, it is true that she has never killed a person at close range, even if she kills people from a distance, it is only the one-eyed bandit and the little thief she shot just now. In other words, today is the first time Xia Xue has killed someone, and it is also the first time that Xia Xue has killed her own kind. Although she was forced to kill someone, although she killed someone to rescue her comrades, she still left a deep shadow in Xia Xue's heart, and she had a serious psychological disorder, and her kind heart was unwilling to kill anymore. After all, Xia Xue is a kind girl by nature.
Due to her fear of killing, she is even more afraid of killing people at close range, which leads to the idea of escape in the following battles, which leads to her current defeat.
Especially for this kind of ancient cruel hand-to-hand combat, Xia Xue was even more unbearable and more fearful, so he couldn't make preparations for hand-to-hand combat early, and only wanted to use long-range weapons to kill the enemy from a distance. But in this era of cold weapons in ancient wars, how can it be possible to avoid brutal combat in close quarters, if you can't even pass this level, how can you talk about protecting yourself, protecting your relatives, let alone those more ambitious goals.
Thinking of this, Xia Xue's mood slowly calmed down, and she regarded it as a big test today to test whether she was qualified to be an ancient warrior. She cooperated with both hands, and pulled out her carefully crafted Tang knife while running, her Tang knife is longer than ordinary swords, only the blade length is 1.2 meters, and the average blade length is only about 0.7 meters. So when you pull out the knife, you need to cooperate with both hands to completely pull it out, this kind of Tang knife drawing Xia Xue has practiced thousands of times, so, once he calmed down, he skillfully pulled out the cold and shining Tang knife.
With the Tang knife in hand, Xia Xue felt a sense of steadiness, and the fear in her heart was swept away. She no longer ran away, but suddenly stopped running, and calmly turned to face the vicious bandit leader.
The bandit leader was also stunned when he saw that the little girl who had been running away in a hurry suddenly stopped and turned to face him. However, seeing this little girl wearing a strange helmet, an incomparably beautiful face, and only thirteen or fourteen years old, it was almost impossible to imagine how such a delicate little girl could shoot her second best brother "One-Eyed Dragon" with an arrow more than a hundred meters away. Now I see this little girl holding a long knife in both hands and facing herself, and I don't know what it's like. However, as a bandit leader who has killed countless people and is extremely vicious, he will never pity a beautiful little girl, but he reminds himself in his heart not to underestimate the enemy.
The leader of the bandits roared, shaking Xia Xue's eardrums, raised his ring head knife and rushed forward, shining on the top of Xia Xue's head, slashing like a mountain.
In the eyes of the bandit leader, the helmet, which looked light and strange, and did not look like steel and metal, must be very fragile, and he wanted to split the helmet and the little girl's head in half with a single knife to avenge the death of the second best brother in charge.
Because Brother Wuji and they were besieged by a large number of bandits, and the situation was critical, Xia Xue needed to end the battle quickly and decided to use a risky fighting strategy.
The bandit leader thought to himself that according to the convention, the little girl should dodge her fatal blow backwards or to the side, or use her long knife to block her blade, and he could use his strength advantage to further suppress the little girl, and even shoot her long knife away.
But to the surprise of the bandit leader, this little girl did not make the usual move at all, but also raised a knife with both hands to slash at her shoulder and neck, without any dodging and blocking, completely with the intention of ending up together. And this seemingly weak little girl is full of strength and speed, like thunder and lightning, and she can't dodge it at all. I sighed in my heart, I didn't expect that today's famous "Zhenshan Tiger" would die with a little-known little girl, what a shame.
There were only two piercing noises, first the muffled sound of Xia Xue's helmet being slashed, but what stunned the bandit leader was that the fragile and lightweight non-metallic helmet in his image was not damaged at all, and the blade felt a huge elastic force on it, almost knocking his ringhead knife away.
Then there was the sound of the bandit leader's shoulder and neck musculoskeletal split, and the sound of blood gushing out.
The thieves who ran panting behind saw their boss standing there, blood gushing from the left side of his neck, and his thick body shook and fell to the ground, and he was shocked: "It's over, the big boss has been killed!" The rest of the thieves heard the news that the big boss "Zhenshan Tiger" had been killed, and their souls scattered and fled. The desperate refugees, who were being robbed and killed by the bandits, were thunderous with joy.
Xia Xue looked at the bloody corpse of the dead bandit leader, looked at the bright red plasma all over the ground, and smelled the heavy smell of blood, suddenly felt a churning in her stomach, almost vomited, her forehead was sweating, her face was pale, and she had a feeling of prostration.
It seems that she still doesn't like this kind of bloody and cruel scene, however, in this extraordinary era, she has to learn to slowly adapt to this cruelty and blood, so that she can become a strong person, a real warrior, and integrate into this troubled world without being swallowed up.
The eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Cheng, and Ouyang brothers and sisters also rushed over, they were all covered in blood, it seems that the battle was fierce just now, fortunately, it was basically the blood splashed on the body of the killed bandits, due to the sophistication of the weapons, years of martial arts, and the protection of leather armor, the bandits did not take advantage of these people, but were killed and injured a lot, and now due to the death of the two bandit leaders, the dragons have no leader, and they have scattered and fled.
Ouyang Yong was the most excited, today a super iron rod didn't know how many bandits were killed and injured, first killed on the horse, and then thought that the terrain restricted the horse and couldn't run away, so he jumped off the horse and continued to kill, killing extremely refreshing. Although Ouyang Qian is a woman, today she jumped off the horse with the super long katana specially made for her by Xia Xue and started to kill, she was very successful, and she was also very excited, although she was covered in blood, they didn't care, it seems that both of these brothers and sisters are born warriors.
It's just that Xia Xue found that Ouyang Qian secretly vomited for a while in the place where she carried someone, which showed that she was still the same as herself, the first time she killed someone, she was a little disgusted and disgusted, and she couldn't help but smile incomprehensibly, believing that Ouyang Qian and herself would slowly adapt to this cruel and bloody killing chaos in the future.
After the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Cheng first used a horse lance to assassinate several bandits, they found that due to the narrow terrain of the valley, it was not suitable for riding a horse to kill, and the nearly four-meter-long horse lance was too long, which was not conducive to close combat. In the end, he had to jump off the horse and pull out the Tang knife made by Xia Xue to kill him, and he also had a good record. The two of them were also very excited, they didn't expect Tang Dao to be so powerful.
They were even more surprised by Xia Xue's record: although they only killed three people, two of them were the two leaders of this group of bandits, and it was Xia Xue's credit that quickly ended the battle, thus avoiding higher casualties.
After Mrs. Gao and Grandma heard about it, they pulled Xia Xue and said happily: "Xue'er is a daughter given to us by the Buddha, a fairy descends to earth, not a mortal, of course, the mana is boundless, where will the bandits be our Xue'er's opponent, haha, we have Xue'er protection all the way, we must be safe!" ”
Looking at Mrs. Gao, her grandmother, and her aunt's extremely trusting eyes, Xia Xue felt a warmth in her heart, but at the same time, she also felt a heavy responsibility. She secretly swore in her heart that the next time she encountered the danger of her relatives being threatened, she must not be as flustered and fearful as she was at the beginning today, and she must be like a real warrior, fighting hard to protect her relatives, not afraid of life and death, not afraid of all cruel and terrible scenes.
A few people found a mountain spring, replenished some fresh water, and then drank some more spring water to moisten their dry throats. He lit a fire next to the mountain spring to cook, and after a full meal, he used the mountain spring to scrub the blood stains on his body, and then wiped the blood stains on the weapon with a clean soft cloth. Pack everything up, don't dare to stay too long, and continue along the mountain road to the west. After walking in the Taihang Mountains for about 10 days, he finally walked out of the mountains and entered the territory of Sanjin.
