Chapter 20: The Peach Blossom Night Tribulation
A villager was out of breath and shouted as he ran: "Oh no, there are bandits!" Grandpa Luo, Grandpa Luo, no, there are bandits. Your family, Luoying and Youyi, were captured by the bandits. Then there was a "pop", and the villager tripped over the threshold of Grandpa Luo's house. Grandpa Luo went out and hurriedly said, "You repeat, who was captured by the bandits?" The villager gasped and stood up, and said, "Yes... There's a gang of bandits, breaking in... Break into Youyi's house, rob the young people when they see them, and kill the old ones when they see the old ones. I don't know what spell they use, as soon as I slapped my hand on the door of my head, people... The man fainted as if he had lost his soul. They only arrested the young guys, and now Youyi and several of his companions have been arrested. Yingzi is chasing after him now. Grandpa Luo hurriedly said: "What should I do, what should I do?" This small village has not been plagued by bandits, has it? ”
Zhan Wuxian came out of the West Wing, and heard the villagers call this old man Grandpa Luo, so he shouted: "Grandpa Luo, don't worry, I'll take a look." Before the words fell, Zhan Wuxian's figure was gone. Grandpa Luo and the villagers widened their eyes: "The gods have descended to earth." ”
Zhan Wuxian instantly came to the courtyard of the groom's Youyi house at the east end of the village, and saw more than a dozen corpses lying in the courtyard of the courtyard, either an old man in a sixtieth birthday or a child. Seeing that the groom's family was wearing gear, the neck of the corpse was cut by a sharp sword, and blood gushed out, flooding most of the courtyard. The light of the fire shook and shone on the corpse, making it even more miserable and terrifying. Zhan Wuxian stepped over the corpse and looked around, there was no one alive, except for the sound of fire, it was a dead silence.
Suddenly there was a scream, and Zhan Wuxian followed the prestige, and saw more than a dozen black shadows jumping towards the mountain, extremely fast. Zhan Wuxian didn't have time to think about it, it must be a bandit, and he rushed out of the courtyard wall with an arrow to chase him. Zhan Wuxian performed the escape technique, and in a few vertical jumps, he caught up with the black shadow behind the team. I saw that the black figure was wearing a black night coat, wearing a black mask, only revealing two eyes, flashing green light from time to time, and carrying a black cloth bag on his shoulder, the bag was bulging and squirming, and it must be filled with the peach blossom villagers who had been taken away. Although the man in black was carrying a heavy load, in the rugged mountains and forests, he jumped freely and walked on the ground, which showed that the martial arts of those men in black were not weak.
Zhan Wuxian chased after him and shouted, "Who are you, why did you kill the villagers in the mountains? The black-clothed man behind the team squinted and saw Zhan walking like the wind, catching up with him in an instant, he was very surprised, and he didn't answer, and he ran faster with the strength under his feet.
Zhan Wuxian saw that he didn't answer, he was angry in his heart, and then jumped over, and instantly came to the man in black, stretched out a finger, and hit the center of the man in black's eyebrows. The man in black didn't even have time to scream, and his whole body collapsed to the ground, and the black pocket on his back also fell to the ground. Zhan Wuxian went over, untied the bag, and saw that there were three villagers inside, who were drowsy and unconscious. Zhan Wuxian was taken aback, and then thought that more than a dozen other black shadows were also like this man in black, and the pockets on their backs were also villagers. Who are these men in black? What do they want to do with these unarmed villagers who don't know martial arts? These questions quickly flashed through Zhan's mind. He looked back at the man in black lying on the ground, and grabbed it to question. Raised, four flashes of light galloped in. Zhan Wuxian's afterglow swept over, and at the same time, his body jumped backwards, only to see two flying swords flying from mid-air. Zhan Wuxian Fei hung in the air, and when the two flying swords flew a few inches away from his chest, Zhan Wuxian pointed to the tip of the flying sword on the right, and the flying sword immediately turned and flew to the left flying sword. With a "dang" sound, the two swords collided and fell to the ground. At the same time, only two "poofs" were heard, and the other two flying swords pierced into the body of the black-clothed man lying on the ground. At the same time, Zhan Wuxian saw that not far away, there were four other people in black standing, each carrying a large bag behind him.
It turned out that the four flashes of light were the flying swords issued by these four people, and two of them shot at Zhan Wuxian, making him unable to separate; Two shots were fired at the man in black who was lying on the ground, so as to kill the people and kill them. They are raiding the people in this remote village, and they must be hiding a secret that cannot be hidden.
Look at the four black-clothed people again, their bodies swaying from front to back, left and right, as fast as the wind. Immediately after that, the four people were not in two factions, the front and rear bodies overlapped, the two people in the back row grabbed the big pockets of the two people in the front row, turned around and rushed to the mountain, while the two people in the front row pulled out their swords and rushed towards Zhan Wuxian.
The corners of Zhan Wuxian's mouth turned up, revealing a contemptuous smile: "It's not so easy to delay time and escape." Immediately picked up two small pebbles from the ground, used Xuan Gong, and threw them out with a slight movement of his wrist. The stone flew past the ears of the two people who ran and flew straight towards the two people who fled, and at the same time Zhan Wuxian flew out, pointing his finger at the wrist of the person who came. The two men in black immediately felt numb in their wrists, and their swords fell to the ground. Zhan Wuxian flew over, and then hit the backs of the two people to the yang point, and in only two rounds, the two men in black were instantly subdued.
The two black-clothed men who fled heard the wind behind them, and when they looked back, they saw two people flying in the air and rushing towards them, who were Phantom Warriors. It's too late, it's fast, the two men in black haven't reacted yet, and they have figured out what is going on, and the phantom warrior's feet have already kicked out, hitting the two men in black in the chest. Just listen to the "ah"..."bang"..."bang", the two men in black were first kicked away, then crashed into a big tree, and then fell heavily to the ground. Zhan Wuxian hurriedly stepped forward to check and found that the two men in black had been bleeding from their seven orifices and had committed suicide by poisoning. Check the pockets on the ground again, and they are still filled with villagers from Peach Blossom Village, who are also drowsy and unconscious.
Zhan Wuxian was extremely angry, these black-clothed people must have some big secret to capture the villagers, and they must find out. Zhan Wuxian immediately accepted the phantom martial arts to perform the escape technique, his body was as fast as lightning, and after a few vertical jumps, he had already chased behind the remaining five black-clothed people, one of the black-clothed people heard the wind, looked back, and found that Zhan Wuxian was a few feet away behind them, and he was about to catch up, and Duan was taken aback.
Just listen to the man in black: "I didn't expect that there are such strong martial arts people in this wilderness mountain village, and they will catch up so quickly." ”
"It seems that we can't get out of it without him." Another man in black said, but it was a woman's voice.
First a man in black said: "Okay! In the world, except for Childe, who is still our opponent. Haha....." After speaking, two fingers pointed back, and the last two men in black threw the pockets on their bodies forward, and the two men in black in front just caught it, and then the two men in black suddenly jumped back, and the long sword in their hands was unsheathed at the same time, stabbing at Zhan Wuxian's chest. Zhan Wuxian saw the double swords stabbing in front of him, and he was angry that these black-clothed people had harmed the villagers for no reason, and as soon as they made a move, they were killed. I saw a flash of blue light, and the two men in black had their arms cut off, and then the sword light flashed again, and the two heads and two shoulders had been separated. The two men in black came with such ferocity and speed that their arms and heads were cut off, and their bodies still had inertia, and they continued to fly forward.
Zhan Wuxian stepped on the two corpses with both feet, took advantage of the momentum to continue to chase forward, and said in his heart: "It's not a pity to kill these two, if you want to know the purpose of these black-clothed people, it's not too late to grab the remaining three and ask again." "Encountered obstacles halfway, although they only used two moves and stopped for a while, the three black-clothed people in front of them had already disappeared in the dark forest of night. Zhan Wuxian's sword flashed, and he flew to a clearing in the mountains and forests, surrounded by towering giant trees, lush vegetation on the ground, and strange rocks. At this time, the moon is dark and the stars are scarce, and it is an excellent place for official ambushes here.
Zhan Wuxian clenched the Long Yuan sword, in the night like ink, only this sword flashed with blue light, as if the sword was burning, like an elongated blue flame, making a snorting sound.
Suddenly, "Haha......woo...", there was a sound of laughter and crying between the surrounding grass and trees, and at the same time, the wind gusted. Zhan Wuxian felt a cool breeze blowing behind him, and he turned around suddenly, but it was empty, nothing. Another burst of "haha-woo" crying and laughter came, but this time it was clearly heard: "Return my corpse, return my corpse." It was a man's voice. Zhan Wuxian turned around abruptly again, and saw a black shadow hanging upside down on the tree not far away, and the hair that hung down was slowly wriggling, like hundreds of snakes hanging in the air, like ghosts.
Zhan Wuxian stared at the black shadow on the tree, and was about to step forward to take him, when he suddenly felt a strong wind coming from the back of his head, Zhan Wuxian said: "It's not good, the black shadow in front is a bait, and there is another sneak attack!" The strong wind behind him came quickly, Zhan Wuxian didn't have time to turn around to deal with it, and immediately used force under his feet, a carp hit hard, and Long Yuan's sword stabbed backwards. This move is to attack and defend, if you simply dodge, the enemy's first move misses, it will be followed by the second and third moves, and then you will be passive, and the snake-haired black shadow in the distance will attack again, and it will be difficult to deal with.
Hearing a long roar, the Long Yuan Sword was piercing into the palm of the hand behind him. The man didn't seem to be afraid of the sharp blade of the sword, and after the palm of his hand was stabbed, he had no intention of retreating, but grabbed the body of the Longyuan sword and dragged it backwards violently. The man's other hand turned down and patted Zhan Wuxian's head, and at this time, the black shadow that had been hanging on the tree suddenly appeared in front of Zhan Wuxian, showing his claws, and his ten fingers were like black steel thorns, ** Zhan Wuxian's lower abdomen.
At this time, Zhan Wuxian was already lying flat, and it was dangerous. Behind him was a tall masked man in black, and the one who attacked his lower abdomen was a woman with black snake hair. It was too late, it was too fast, Zhan Wuxian moved backwards with the pull of the man in black behind him, and at the same time blocked the arm of the tall man in black with his left hand, and then bent his legs to kick away the claws of the snake-haired man in black, and then turned his whole body, using the reaction force, kicked the front chest of the snake-haired man in black with one foot, and returned his sword to slash the neck of the tall man in black. In a few moves, the offensive of the two men in black was resolved.
Zhan Wuxian did not stop, attacking several swords in a row, and after a few rounds, Zhan Wuxian gradually switched from defense to attack. After more than a dozen rounds of fighting, the two men in black were repelled by Zhan Wuxian for several feet, and they had no power to fight back. When the two black-clothed men saw that they couldn't win without shirts, their bodies shook, and a few lost their bodies disappeared in the dense forest, and at the same time there was a terrible cry of "woo".
Suddenly, dozens of black snakes flew out of the dense forest, attacking Zhan Wuxian in all directions. Zhan Wuxian flew vertically, swung his sword and cut off his snake's head, and at the same time felt the wind flickering behind him, Zhan Wuxian turned around with his sword, and saw nothing. Zhan Wuxin said: "The enemy is hiding in the dark, I am in the light, the form is not in my favor, and there is still one of them who has not appeared, I think it is a person with higher martial arts." If that person shows up and fights me, it's even more difficult to deal with. Now that the two sides are evenly matched, I need to plan ahead. Thinking of this, Zhan Wuxian slowly squatted down and grabbed a few stones. At this time, the black shadow suddenly shook again, and Zhan Wuxian quickly threw the stone in his hand, and in an instant, nine phantom warriors, dressed in red and red armor, formed a circle, protecting Zhan Wuxian in it, forming a considerable offensive and defensive momentum.
The nine phantom warriors looked around at the same time, listening to the voices, and their combat power instantly increased tenfold. The two black-clothed men were hidden in the dense forest, and they couldn't help but tremble when they saw this scene, and said in their hearts: "I heard the Tibetan Tiger say before, Gongzi was killed by a person named Zhan Wuxian in Weiguo, that person was holding a sword with green light, and at the same time he knew the magic of illusion and the art of escape, could it be that the person in front of him was Zhan Wuxian, how could he appear in this remote village." The two of them looked at each other, they had the same heart, knowing that they were not Zhan Wuxian's opponents, and the four of them had to join forces to have a fight with Zhan Wuxian, and today the only way to escape was to go first. Thinking of this, one of the men in black immediately ran away. Hearing the wind, Zhan Wuxian was about to catch up, and as soon as he jumped up, several corpses flew in front of him.
Zhan Wushirt looked closely, and the coarse cloth clothes of various colors on the human body turned out to be the villagers of Peach Blossom Village.
The two men in black knew that Zhan Wuxian's escape technique was extremely fast, and he would definitely catch up if he blindly ran away, so they resorted to a delaying strategy, one fled first to attract Zhan Wuxian's attention, and the other threw out the villagers they had captured, and asked Zhan Wuxian to save him, so as to delay time. There are a lot of people flying in the villagers, and Zhan Wuxian does not dare to block it hard, for fear of hurting them. So Zhan Wuxian passed on his will to the other phantom warriors, and they jumped up one after another, grabbed the villagers, and gently placed them on the ground. During this period, Zhan Wuxian chased after the man in black who had escaped.
The snake-haired man in black chased after Zhan Wuxian again, and the villagers in her bag had finished throwing, so she let out a long roar, shook her head and saw dozens of black snakes flying out, and then threw a man in black beside her. Zhan Wuxian swung his sword to cut the snake, and when he saw a figure flying over, Zhan Wuxian thought that it was a villager who threw it, so he withdrew his sword and caught it with one hand. This time, the manpower of the flying man was very huge, Zhan Wuxian reached out to catch it, and after landing on the ground, he took a few steps backwards to stand firmly. At this time, look at the snake-haired man in black has escaped without a trace.
Zhan Wuxian looked back at the person who threw it, it turned out that he was also covered in black, but he was dressed in the same way as the one who robbed the villagers. "It's cannibalism, sacrificing the car to protect the handsome." Zhan Wuxian's thoughts flashed, and he quickly clicked on his acupoints, so that the man in black could not commit suicide. Looking around, there was no trace of any other man in black.
Zhan Wuxin said: If you chase the two black-clothed people who escaped now, if the villagers who stayed in the mountains are attacked again, it will be more than worth the loss. But now catch a man in black, send these villagers back to the village, and then torture this person why he killed innocents indiscriminately and plundered the villagers.
Then Zhan Wuxian cut down a few long grasses with the Longyuan Sword, threw them into the air, and immediately conjured up a few shadow slashing horses, and commanded the phantom warriors to carry the rescued villagers and the man in black on their horses and rush back to the village.
