Chapter Twenty-Three: The Gorge Mountain Bandits

The Great Star Empire, outside Nami City, at the foot of the Gorge Mountain.

"Mei Shi, are your Mei family ready to declare war on our Zhou family? It's just a medical family, and you dare to participate in the affairs of our four nobles?" Zhou Yu said sarcastically.

"Of course not, our Mei family has never been involved in any battles, and this time I only came to help my friends on my own behalf. After Mei Shi finished speaking, he said coldly: "In addition, our Mei family is not an ordinary medical family, but a family of divine doctors, understand? If you insult our Mei family casually, you will die in a while, don't ask our Mei family for treatment." ”

"You ......" Zhou Yu was furious, and immediately killed the other party, and was stopped by a person just after taking two steps.

"Your opponent is me. Nameless said as he attacked the other side's door.

Li Yunzhao and the other two are also inseparable, and several other masters of the Xiashan thieves are also fighting against each other. There were also hundreds of people around them who were fighting, and for a moment there was a river of blood.

The Xiashan Bandit was one of the three famous bandits of the Great Star Empire, which was established by Li Yunzhao, the son of Li Cheng, the first general of the year, and his old subordinates. The unjust case in the ninth year of Yuanguang is a household name, the first general Li Cheng betrayed the enemy, and the general's mansion was beheaded. Everyone knows that this is a false accusation by the Zhou family, but although the competition between the four nobles is fierce, they are the same to the outside world, and the other three nobles do not care, and no one has a way to redress General Li's grievances. When Li Yunzhao came to arrest him at the imperial court because he was stationed at the border pass, he had already received the news and was rescued by Li Cheng's old department. Later, he went incognito and set up camp in Xiashan to become a bandit.

The Xiashan thieves have always hidden their strength and identity, and they are only dealing with the Zhou family in secret, and they have not made particularly big moves, because they are good at fighting but there are not many masters. Perhaps, the role of a master on a battlefield of millions of people is far inferior to that of a military advisor with a strategy and good formation, because no matter how high a person's martial arts are, he can't resist the siege of tens of millions of people, even if he is a master at the peak of the ninefold. But in a family and a force, the role of the master is huge, especially the ninefold peak master.

The reason why the four nobles have nothing to fear is because they have nine masters sitting in the array, and the reason why the Xuanyuan family can still sit firmly on the throne under the eyes of the four nobles is also because there are nine masters, and the secret door can be so prosperous. Don't look at the Xiashan bandits, there are already thousands of people, including hundreds of martial arts masters, as long as Zhou Yan comes in person, one person can destroy the entire Xiashan bandits.

This is the power of the ninefold.

Li Yunzhao didn't expect to be able to eliminate the Zhou family in his lifetime, he only knew that he wanted to eliminate the Zhou family as much as possible while he was alive, and let the brothers of the Xiashan thieves live as much as possible. Because even if he didn't have a ninefold master, he didn't think that he could destroy a favored big thing like the Zhou family with just his own strength.

So he didn't hesitate to participate in the battle that rescued the Liu family more than two years ago. When he saw that Chu Yunxiao could confront Zhou Yan, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart, maybe this young man could help him fulfill his wish for many years. But then Chu Yunxiao disappeared in the psychedelic forest, and it was said that he had died in the forest, and his newly-ignited hope was suddenly shattered.

As soon as he got the news, he placed the old and weak women and children in the village, and was ready to sacrifice at any time. However, no one expected that the patience of the seven masters was so good, and they actually waited in the forest for more than a year, and finally estimated that Chu Yunxiao would leave after dying in the forest.

When Zhou Yan arrived, Liu Guang was determined to live and die with the Xiashan bandits, which he had long expected, but Mei Shi and Nameless came to help him, but he didn't expect it at all. Mei Shi is a little more understanding, it seems that he is a good thing, and he doesn't understand it at all when a nameless killer joins in the fun.

Although Zhou Yan came violently, in the end, the battle did not start, because Xuanyuan Luo and Yu Xingtian stopped it.

At the beginning, the Zhou family destroyed the Li Cheng family without authorization, and Xuanyuan Luo, as the royal elder, was naturally very angry, but the matter was over, and he couldn't start a war with the Zhou family, so he could only swallow his anger. When the seven of them left the forest this time, he knew that the Liu family had joined the Xiashan bandits, and the Xiashan bandits killed many masters of the Zhou family last time, and Zhou Yan would definitely come here, so he also came here directly.

As for Yu Xingtian, according to him, his personal disciple and the future master of the secret sect is here, of course he wants to stop it, and as for the truth, only he knows what the truth is.

Zhou Yan was angry and accused Xuanyuan Luo, as a royal family, of actually helping the bandits, but Xuanyuan Luo refuted it with Zhou Yan's repeated violations of the original master's agreement that ordinary warriors were not allowed to kill ordinary warriors at will, and said that the bandits had their own imperial generals to encircle and suppress them, and he didn't need to worry about Zhou Yan.

In the end, Zhou Yan had to leave with hatred, but the Zhou family repeatedly sent masters to Xiashan to steal trouble. The Xiashan bandits and the Zhou family have fought many times in the past year or so, and they have suffered heavy casualties, and the Xiashan bandits are particularly tragic.

The Gorge Mountain Thieves originally had a total of five masters, all of whom were eightfold masters. The cultivation of the eightfold peak of the great master Li Yunzhao, the second leader Zhao Guoxiang and the third master Li Yuan are also in the middle of the eightfold period, and the fourth master Ouyang Xinglie and the fifth master Zhuwei are in the early stage of the eightfold. In addition, there are more than 200 elites of Xiashan pirates, all of whom are masters of the quadruple or above.

After more than a year, Li Yuan, the third master, and Zhuwei, the fifth master, died, and there were only more than 100 masters left above the fourth. This time, the Zhou family sent three eightfold masters, plus the two Wang family who were invited, there were a total of five eightfolds, and there were more than two hundred martial arts masters above the quadruple.

This time, the Zhou family made it clear that they wanted to have a decisive battle.

The difference in the number of men and horses between the two sides is a bit huge, although most of the Xiashan bandits are the old general Li Cheng's old department, brave and good at fighting, and know how to form, but where can it withstand the difference in numbers, not long after the war, the Xiashan bandits were completely at a disadvantage.

Seeing that his brothers were covered with scars, and several weak people died at the beginning of the war, Li Yunzhao felt sad in his heart and could only attack the other party fiercely. On his side, plus the nameless, there are only four eightfolds, he has profound skills, one person drags two, and the strength difference between the eightfold masters is huge, it is divided into three levels, the middle and the early stage, which is almost equivalent to the sevenfold to the six, but after all, those two are also mid-eightfold masters, he is still quite hard, but he can only grit his teeth and hold on, he must hold the two tightly, otherwise as long as there is an eightfold master who has his hands free, then the people of their gorge mountain thieves will only wait for the whole army to be annihilated.

The gap in the realm is not something that can be made up by quantity, and a mid-eightfold master against a martial artist below the sevenfold level is almost equivalent to an instant kill.

Gradually, the situation of the Xiashan thieves became worse and worse, in the duel between the eightfold masters, Nameless and Zhao Guoxiang were okay, and they were tied with each other, Ouyang Xinglie and himself were at a disadvantage, and the situation of the others was even more miserable. Li Yunzhao could only look at it in his eyes and be anxious in his heart.

Suddenly, two sword lights flashed, and a blood hole appeared in each of the chests of the two people opposite him, and then they fell to the ground and died, and next to their corpses appeared a purple-shirted young man. This turn of events took everyone by surprise.
