Chapter 23: Night Battle
"You and the third junior brother will escort Master Xue to the front to break through, I and the eighth junior brother are here to defend against the enemy, five miles later, there is a dead wood forest, we will gather there. The senior brother did not look at Xu Jingnian, but while observing the movements of the group of bandits, he asked Xu Jingnian softly.
"Good. "Xu Jingnian is already very clear about the strength of the senior brother and the eighth senior brother, so naturally he will not worry about their safety, and he will answer immediately.
"Commander Wu, you should also stay here to meet the enemy together. After the senior brother arranged Xu Jingnian and the third senior brother, he said to Head Wu again.
"No problem. Head Wu said boldly.
"Let's get moving. "Everything is ready, and the senior brother summons the judge's pen and is ready for battle.
"Master Xue, come with me. Xu Jingnian saw that the senior brother was ready, and he also said a few words to Master Xue, and rushed out with the third senior brother.
"Okay, I actually want to run, brothers, kill me!" The leader of the bandits surnamed Yan also understood Xu Jingnian's intention at this moment, and directly rushed over with his subordinates.
"Run to me, brothers, intercept the fat man for me, and the goods are in his ring. The leader of the bandits surnamed Zhang saw that Xu Jingnian rushed towards his crowd like that, and he also took his subordinates to set up a position, wanting to block the way of Xu Jingnian and the three of them.
"This bandit boss will be handed over to me, and you will rush out first with Master Xue. The third senior brother Lin Qiong stood on the left side of Xu Jingnian and said to Xu Jingnian.
"Good. "Xu Jingnian is very clear, you must not hesitate to break through a battle like this, the long sword instantly stabbed at the two bandits who stopped in front of him.
When the two thieves saw the long sword in Xu Jingnian's hand, they naturally reacted, and the long knife in their hands slashed down at the long sword together, and beside Master Xue, the other two also surrounded and slashed straight at Master Xue's chest.
"Hmph. "Xu Jingnian's swordsmanship is so clever, seeing that the two people actually took the long knife and slashed down, wanting to block their long sword, he immediately turned his wrist, and the sword blade was raised upward, and the long knife of the two people was cut into two pieces in an instant.
At this moment, the two long knives that slashed at Master Xue were no more than three feet away from his chest, Xu Jingnian's figure moved quickly, and the long sword slashed towards the middle of the blades of the two long knives.
"Ting~" The tips of the two big knives were already against Master Xue's chest, and Master Xue was already so frightened that he hugged his head, but then there was a sound of the blade breaking. In the next second, the tip of the knife did fall on Master Xue's chest, but the power transmission of the blade was lost, and the front half of the two big knives fell to the ground together under the influence of gravity, making two sounds of metal falling to the ground.
"Let's go. Xu Jingnian grabbed the frightened Master Xue and continued to run forward.
On the other side, the third senior brother Lin Qiong had already found the bandit leader surnamed Zhang, why was the third senior brother's cultivation so strong, he had reached the late stage of the transformation of the gods, and he was holding a pair of iron rulers, and at this moment, he completely suppressed the bandit leader surnamed Zhang without any suspense.
And on the side of Head Wu, the comprehensive strength of the bandit leader surnamed Yan is obviously stronger than that of Xu Jingnian, but after all, there are strong people like Senior Brother over there, and they are completely occupied by Shangjing Nian at this moment.
On Xu Jingnian's side, the pressure is the greatest, after all, Xu Jingnian only has the middle stage of Na Ling's cultivation, and he has to protect Master Xue, so he can't use the Nine Steps of Intercepting the Heavens, even if the third senior brother Lin Qiong's side has attracted most of the relatively strong subordinates of the bandit leader surnamed Zhang, but it is still very difficult for Xu Jingnian to deal with dozens of people alone.
"Xu Shaoxia, we won't die here, I don't want to die yet. Seeing the thieves who kept coming, Master Xue hid beside Xu Jingnian and said in fear.
"Don't worry, I'm here, I'll definitely take you out. Xu Jingnian repelled a thief with a sword, and said on the other.
"Be careful. When Xu Jingnian replied, two big knives were slashed from Xu Jingnian's right side.
"No wind. The long sword in Xu Jingnian's hand kept swinging, and in an instant, he had already cut off several big swords. But those bandits seemed to have been prepared, and they summoned a brand-new big knife from the ring one after another, and attacked Xu Jingnian again.
"Die. "A bandit who cultivated to the early stage of the Na Ling Realm thought that he had mastered the weakness of Xu Jingnian's slow sword, and took advantage of the opportunity of Xu Jingnian's long sword to slash to the right and attacked Xu Jingnian's left side.
However, although Xu Jingnian is now mainly using the slow sword, it does not mean that Xu Jingnian will not use the fast sword, the shadow sword technique is almost instantaneous, and in the man's unbelievable eyes, a sword pierced the man's heart, resulting in his life.
And the big knife he was going to slash at Xu Jingnian's left chest also fell to the ground with a clatter.
Xu Jingnian's sword was fast and slow, so that those bandits quickly messed up, Xu Jingnian took advantage of the situation to exert force, every time the long sword was cut out, there was blood flying, and gradually, many thieves did not dare to easily approach Xu Jingnian and Master Xue.
"Master Xue, you help me hold the torch. Xu Jingnian pierced the chest of a thief with another sword, snatched a torch from his hand, and handed it to Master Xue. The night was dark here, and the vision was very poor, if Xu Jingnian fought with a torch, he would definitely be greatly affected, so he simply handed the torch to Master Xue on the side.
In this way, Xu Jingnian finally fought and retreated, and finally with the help of the long sword, he gradually fought his way out of the dark night.
"Little junior brother, you take Master Xue away first, and I will stay behind. Third Senior Brother Lin Qiong saw that Xu Jingnian had gradually escaped from the encirclement of this group of bandits, and immediately shouted loudly.
