Chapter 2: Killing
"I'm pretty sure one of you harbored the fugitive. ”
The officer walked back and forth in front of the residents of Qingzhu Town, his eyes scanning like a searchlight, trying to see through everyone one by one, holding the long sword at his waist in his right hand, deliberately straightening his body, and occasionally looking out of the town.
"So, is there anything anyone would like to say that the country needs your contribution. The officer squeezed out a smile on his hideous face, and the scar on the right cheek danced like a snake, eerie.
Xiao Lin had been clinging to the crack of the door, staring out without blinking, and he would involuntarily look at the head that was thrown not far from him, it was Uncle Orion Wang in the town.
Uncle Wang is notoriously short-tempered, and he can blow him up in an instant over a trivial matter, but he is very good to Xiao Lin, often taking Xiao Lin into the mountains to hunt, and has taught Xiao Lin a lot of wild survival skills and hunting skills, and he is surprisingly patient, and he has never scolded loudly.
Xiao Lin's mind was full of pictures of Uncle Wang playing with him, and when he first saw Uncle Wang's head in a different place, he felt that a knife had cut his heart into countless pieces, dripping blood.
Xiao Lin bit his lip vigorously, he wanted to rush out, although he didn't know what the use of running out was there, but he wanted to do something, do anything, as long as he didn't die anymore.
But he couldn't move, I don't know if it was because of physical instinct or because the man behind him stretched out a hand and grabbed him hard, like an iron hoop, and tied him firmly, unable to move.
"You, you come!" The officer walked up to Old Man Yun and pointed his sword at him, "You old man doesn't look like an ordinary person. ”
"Master......" Before Xiao Lin could say anything, he was covered by the man behind him.
"Don't make a sound. The man whispered in Xiao Lin's ear, his right hand gripped the cold long sword hard, and the sword body trembled slightly.
"I don't know. Old man Yun looked up at the officer, and his tone was flat without a trace of waves.
The officer turned his head to look at the town not far away, a little irritable, suddenly stuck the long sword on the ground, grabbed the old man Yun with both hands, and glared at him: "Don't play tricks, there was a child by your side before, where did you go?"
"You're wrong. Old man Yun was calm and looked at the officer without fear.
"Bang", the officer smashed his fist on the face of the old man Yun, and the old man rolled out to the side like a broken cotton pillow and turned around several times.
The officer shook his palm, walked quickly to the old man, stepped on his face, and rubbed back and forth: "Dead old man, your temper is quite hard, I will see how long you can last." ”
Xiao Lin, who was hiding behind the door, struggled violently, his eyes were red, flames appeared in his hands, and sporadic sparks jumped in mid-air.
The man with the long sword was surprised: "The one with the ability?"
Xiao Lin slowly stopped the trembling of his body, the flame in his hand became a little stronger, and he looked back at the man: "I want to save grandpa, you have to go too!" Although he is a child, his tone is firm and unquestionable, and he has an imposing momentum like an emperor.
Xiao Lin looked directly into the man's eyes, and the dancing flames were reflected in his pupils, which were very bright.
The man was silent, he held the long sword, looked at Xiao Lin and the scene outside the door, frowned and said nothing.
After a while, the man withdrew the palm that was grasping Xiao Lin's shoulder, slowly stood up, and nodded at Xiao Lin.
"You don't say it, do you?"
The officer grabbed Old Man Yun's collar and laughed, but his eyes were very cold, and his voice was very soft, "From now on, I will kill one person every time I count until you say it." ”
"We didn't break the law, why did you kill us!" a strong man's chest rose and fell violently, staring at the officer viciously.
"Even the Imperial Army doesn't have this kind of power!" the other old man stood up at once, pointing at the officer and scolding.
"Kill people at will, do you still have a royal law in your eyes?" Some people came forward to resist, and the momentum of the villagers was aroused, and some people stood up and reprimanded, and there were signs of riots and rebellions.
Old Man Yun's face was covered in blood, the corners of his mouth were cracked, blood seeped into his clothes along his neck, and his mouth opened and closed to dissuade the villagers from being impulsive, but he could only make a noisy voice and not speak in a tone.
The officer laughed when he looked at the villagers who stood up and were not afraid of death, and made a gesture to the back, and one of his subordinates walked up quickly, brandished the long sword in his hand, and without saying a word, stabbed a sword into the chest of a villager without mercy, and then, drawing the sword, and with another wave, a huge cut was made in the throat of the villager, and blood gushed like a spring.
The villagers covered their eyes wide, covered their chests, spat blood foaming in their mouths, and their bodies fell to the ground with a "bang", convulsions, and finally slowly stopped moving, and the blood slowly flowed out, seeping into the ground and rubbing into everyone's hearts.
All the villagers looked at the evil ghost with the sword in horror, and they were stunned and did not dare to speak, and the bodies of the few rebels who stood up trembled and retreated, no matter how fleshy they were, in the face of killing and death, everyone would be afraid.
The officer looked around majestically, looking at the villagers with disdain: "Resistance is the end of this, cooperation can lead to survival, in front of you, I am the law!"
The villagers had flames in their eyes, but they dared not speak out.
The officer looked at the old man Yun who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and chuckled: "I like blood and enjoy the process, so what do you have to say?"
Old Man Yun sighed in his heart, and slowly supported his upper body with all his might, his mouth moved, and he was about to speak, when a sudden change occurred.
A long stick burning with flames shot out from afar, like a flower blooming in the air, with petals flying all around, exuding a cold aura, gentle and fierce, and quickly shot towards the officer.
Xiao Lin broke out of the house with flames burning on his hands, and rushed towards the officer quickly, shouting: "Everyone run!"
The crowd scattered, shouting, running, roaring.
At the same time, the officer reacted extremely quickly, waving the long sword in his hand, cutting off the fire stick with a sword, and shouting: "Don't let go of any of them!"
Several soldiers in pitch-black combat uniforms moved quickly, like pitch-black shadows, shuttling through the crowd, and everywhere they passed, villagers kept falling, blood splattering, and limbs broken.
Xiao Lin saw that the villagers who loved him were broken one by one, his eyes were about to burst, he shouted, waved the flame in his hand, like an enraged young beast, roared and rushed forward.
With a punch, scorching flames erupted, and sparks in the sky rushed to the officer like a swarm of bright red butterflies.
The corners of the officer's mouth showed a hint of contempt, and the long sword glowing with silver light was raised, and the sword move was about to be performed, but he felt that his center of gravity was unstable and he almost fell.
Old Man Yun was clinging to the officer's right foot, and his withered palm was firmly locked on him like a trap.
The officer was annoyed, and even a pariah dared to do it to himself, but in a short distraction, Xiao Lin's fiery fist had already slammed into his face.
The officer fell backwards screaming, covering his face, the left side of his face had already become pitch black, and there was a trace of green smoke.
Xiao Lin took this opportunity to hurry to Fuyun Old Man, but the surrounding soldiers quickly surrounded him, and seven pitch-black figures came like a black tide.
The leader was attacked, and the soldiers quickly put down the villagers, and everyone gathered towards Xiao Lin at the first time.
At this moment, a brilliant silver light swept by, and in the blink of an eye, the head of a soldier rose into the sky, accompanied by a huge pillar of blood, like bright red rain sprinkled all over the earth.
The man in blue, who had been hiding on the side, suddenly attacked, and the long sword took the life of a soldier in an instant, and the other six soldiers were stunned and did not react for a while.
It's just that after a sword, the man in blue coughed violently while clutching his chest, leaning against the wall with difficulty, and he used this sword with great effort, and now he only felt that his eyes were black for a while, and there was a dizzy feeling in his head that was swallowed by the tide.
"Catch him! Stay alive!" the relieved officer shouted frantically when he saw the man in blue, his eyes widened with rage.
"Run!" shouted the man in blue.
Xiao Lin supported the old man Yun and ran towards the man in blue with difficulty, his steps staggered, he was still a child after all, he was not tall enough, it was already very difficult to support the old man Yun, and it was very difficult to run in this state.
A soldier came behind Xiao Lin, a cold light slashed down on Xiao Lin's back, and a crisp collision sounded.
The man in blue came quickly, and the long sword waved to barely block the soldier's attack, but he was kicked over by another soldier who surrounded him, and his body rolled out on the ground.
Two soldiers quickly rushed up to get him under control.
The man in blue gritted his teeth, supported his hands on the ground and tried to stand up several times, but failed, he had already lost too much blood, his vision was blurred, and it was not easy to hold on until now.
In the end, he could only smile bitterly, this time I am afraid it was planted.
On the other side, there was another scream, Xiao Lin and Old Man Yun couldn't escape the pursuit of the soldiers after all, they had already been subdued on the ground, and six bright long swords were pointed at them, waiting for the officer's departure.
The officer walked over with a half-burnt face, furious, his sword dragging on the ground, and there was a piercing grinding sound.
"A pariah dares to hurt my face, die!"
Xiao Lin raised his head, and a sword light quickly amplified in front of him, like a demon that had rushed out of hell roaring miserably, and the sky seemed to have darkened.
"Poof" sounded, like the sound of bubbles bursting, the sound was very soft but felt like it was ringing in my ears, with a wet smell, warm but cold.
Xiao Lin came back to his senses and found that Old Man Yun was blocking in front of him, his body was pierced by a crimson long sword, and his entire body was soaked with blood.
The officer looked very disgusted: "The feelings are really deep, and it is not a matter of time before he blocks the sword for him." ”
Xiao Lin's eyes were dull, the whole world was quiet, he wanted to shout loudly but felt that his throat was blocked by something, he couldn't make any sound, time seemed to slow down, the wind stopped, only his grandfather's body was falling, light and fluttering like a feather, pressing on his heart but as heavy as a mountain, breathless.
Xiao Lin heard the loud sound of Old Man Yun falling to the ground in his ears, like thunder on a rainstorm, which shook his ears and hurt him incomparably.
"You're next. The officer kicked the old man's body, and the old man's body rolled out on the ground, and the long sword in the officer's hand fell again.
Xiao Lin raised his head suddenly, and there were flames spewing and thunder flashing in his inky pupils.
Suddenly, an incomparably blazing flame erupted from Xiao Lin's body, and the surging waves of fire rushed into the sky.
The officer's gaze recoiled in horror: "What the hell is going on?
Xiao Lin stood in the sea of fire, surrounded by flames, like a demon who had broken free from purgatory, opening a huge bloody mouth and letting out a hideous laugh.
