Chapter 24: This kid is a little prickly
"Huh?"
Xu Anping frowned, subconsciously turned his head, followed Deacon Wan's gaze, and happened to see the fierce battle between Luo Tianle and the leader of the masked bandits.
He had a vague feeling in his heart that something was wrong.
If Deacon Wan was worried about Luo Tianle, he would either pray silently or remind him loudly, it was impossible to remind him with his eyes, after all, Luo Tianle was under siege, and it was impossible to have the leisure to pay attention to the outside world.
Unless......
Deacons are winking at others.
The reason why he didn't dare to open his mouth was because there was an ulterior secret in his heart.
Xu Anping's heart moved, and his eyes fell on the leader of the masked bandits, and he was thoughtful.
"Perhaps, Deacon Wan and the bandits teamed up to direct such a play, one side provided information such as routes and defense forces, and the other side attacked and killed, looted goods and money, and the two sides shared the spoils afterwards."
"When this kind of thing happens, although Deacon Wan has an unshirkable responsibility, he will only be punished at most afterwards, and it may not be worth mentioning at all compared to the proceeds from robbing the caravan."
"It's reasonable to take a risk for this."
As long as an anomaly is discovered, this kind of thing is not difficult to guess at all, and Xu Anping quickly figured out the conspiracy of Deacon Wan and the bandits.
"Wait!"
"Since the two of them are conspiring, they must have already discussed the plan of action, why should Deacon Wan look at the bandit leader in the battle?"
"What is he reminding?"
"What is he anxious about?"
"What unexpected happened?"
Xu Anping looked at the bandit leader and Luo Tianle's battle group again, and an idea came to his mind.
"Could it be...... Is it the identity of Louis Lois? ”
"Although their plan is not clever, it is precisely because of its simplicity that it is often not easy to make mistakes and is not easy to be investigated afterwards."
"Under normal circumstances, if the caravan is robbed, the sect will punish Deacon Wan at most, and exterminate a few bandit forces in this area to deter others."
"However, the difference in this mission is that there is Luo Tianle, an elder's personal disciple, among the escorts, if something happens to Luo Tianle during this mission, the elder will definitely investigate it thoroughly, and at that time, their conspiracy will be more easily exposed."
"Even, even if Deacon Wan's conspiracy is not revealed, Elder Chuangong is furious, and it is very likely that Deacon Wan will be directly executed to vent his anger."
"Therefore, Deacon Wan would never dare to let Luo Tianle die in this mission."
"The reason why he is worried and anxious is that he is afraid that the bandit leader will not be able to take it."
Following this line of thought, Xu Anping quickly figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing.
"That's right, Deacon Wan only learned about the existence of Luo Tianle among the escorts this morning, and he didn't have time to discuss it with the bandit leader in detail."
"His anxiety is quite reasonable."
"It's just that I don't know what his relationship with the bandit leader is? Although he didn't want to see Luo Tianle have an accident, the bandit leader also had the possibility of not cooperating, after all, if the bandit leader planned to show mercy to his subordinates, he would not besiege with a few of his subordinates. ”
"So, Luo Tianle is still in danger."
"And others ......"
While thinking about it, Xu Anping pretended to be difficult to maneuver under the knives of several strong men, and his gaze quickly swept over the other two battlefields.
This series of mental activities in his mind only happened in just two breaths, and the situation on the field did not change much.
Hong Xiaohao fell into the disadvantage.
Zhong Lei had a slight advantage, but he couldn't help the few bandits who besieged him in a short time.
Soon, Xu Anping's eyes moved.
"In that case, I'm the only one to break the game!"
The sword in his hand sped up by a few moments, and the thunderbolt pierced the sky, piercing straight into the neck of a masked bandit.
"Ugh!"
The bandit's eyes widened, and the whole person froze in place at once, losing the strength to move.
Xu An's face was calm, he quickly and decisively drew his sword, turned around, and brandished his long sword and slashed behind him, just blocking the two slashes behind him and on his side.
"He killed Lao Ba and hacked him to death!"
The remaining bandits besieging Xu Anping were not frightened by the death of their companions in the slightest, but their eyes were red and they attacked more violently.
However, Xu Anping already planned to show some of his strength, these ordinary outlaws who had not even stepped into the martial arts, even if they were physically strong and experienced in fighting, it was difficult to resist Xu Anping's offensive.
Moments later, Xu Anping killed another person.
Only the last two masked bandits besieging him remained, and at this moment, the two of them also knew that they could not resist Xu Anping, who suddenly became mighty, and hurriedly shouted for help.
"Boss, this kid is a little prickly!"
"We can't stop it!"
The changes in this battlefield happened so quickly that except for Deacon Wan and the others who were watching not far away, no one else noticed it for the time being.
It wasn't until these shouts that the bandit leader finally noticed the death of his subordinates, and immediately said angrily:
"You guys go and kill that kid first, and I'll deal with this kid alone......"
However, before he finished his words, he saw Xu Anping stab another sword through the chest of a bandit, and chased the last bandit, running quickly in his direction.
"How daring!"
The leader of the bandits was suddenly furious, and the big ring knife in his hand slashed down, and the huge force shook Luo Tianle back several steps.
"Give me death!"
The leader of the bandits no longer paid attention to Luo Tianle, but strode in the direction of Xu Anping.
"Whew!"
The long sword in Xu Anping's hand pierced through the body of the last masked bandit mercilessly.
At this time, he was only two steps away from the bandit leader, and under the rapid dash of both sides, they were about to collide in the blink of an eye.
At this juncture, even if Xu Anping wanted to avoid it, it was completely too late.
He didn't pull out his long sword at all, but instead held the hilt of the sword with both hands and stabbed it forward, further penetrating the body of the masked bandit who was screaming miserably, allowing the sharp blade to show most of the opponent's chest and stab straight at the oncoming bandit leader.
And tried to use the body of the bandit as a shield to block the attack route of the bandit leader.
"Hey! Is this trying to stop me? ”
The corners of the bandit leader's mouth opened, revealing a hideous arc, and the big ring knife in his hand slashed down fiercely, ignoring the bodies of his subordinates, and directly slashed at Xu Anping behind him.
"Boss!!"
Seeing the big sword fall head-on, the bandit who was pierced by the long sword screamed miserably.
However, the broadsword fell mercilessly.
With the blessing of great power, the nine-ring broadsword burst out with extremely terrifying lethality, directly cutting the upper body of the bandit in two.
The incomparably sharp blade slashed towards Xu Anping, who was behind the bandits, almost without any sluggishness.
Xu Anping reacted extremely quickly, pulled out his long sword at the same time as the opponent's big sword fell, and turned his body, barely dodging the blow of the bandit leader.
"Don't try to escape!"
The bandit leader waved his big knife again and again, constantly chasing Xu Anping's body.
