Daming Jingtai five years, February 2 dragon raised its head.

In the vast vast sea and yellow sand, dozens of knights galloped wildly in the endless desert. The knights were covered with a red cloak, and the horses they rode under their crotches were also red-maned fiery horses, and the whole team was like a cloud of fire flying on the ground.

Since Zhang Qian's two connections to the Western Regions in the Western Han Dynasty, the Silk Road he opened up has become a road of wealth for countless merchants from the East and the West to pursue interests. Along with the merchants who did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to earn wealth, there were countless thieves who were accustomed to relying on the sword to plunder their wealth. Since the dynasties, the horse thief gangs have been as few and far as weeds, and they have become a major characteristic product distributed in the Western Regions with the Silk Road as the middle line.

In recent years, the Ming Dynasty's national policy has gradually become more conservative, and its control over the Western Regions has been greatly weakened, which has also revived the horse thief forces that were once suppressed in the Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty. The "Fire Cloud Thieves" are the most famous gang in the desert over the years.

The number of "Fire Cloud Thieves" is not too large, but all of them are masters who are good at horsemanship, knife skills, and archery skills, and their leader Chilong is a master who has been cultivated to the day after tomorrow, and he is invincible with the "Tornado Knife Method". Since opening a mountain in the desert a few years ago, Chilong has led his subordinates who have always maintained a seventy-two people to wreak havoc on the Silk Road, killing people and goods, and establishing a great ferocity with countless lives.

This time, the "Fire Cloud Thieves" made another big deal, Red Dragon led such murderous bandits to slaughter a medium-sized foreign caravan to the ground, and now the leather bags on the side of the saddle on which each of them rode were filled with all kinds of jewelry, animal skins, spices and other valuable goods.

"I'm home!"

When an oasis appeared in front of him, someone let out a cheer and whipped his mount and galloped away. This small oasis in the depths of the desert is the lair of the "Fire Cloud Thieves", and every time he finishes a major case, Red Dragon will lead his men to this hidden oasis far away from the trade routes to lurk for a while. In addition to its own strong strength, it is also an extremely important reason why the "Fire Cloud Thieves" can crisscross the desert and have this unknown oasis as a base for hiding and recuperating.

"If there is a problem, stop it!"

The red dragon, who was extremely burly and fierce, looked at the quiet oasis from afar, and a look of vigilance suddenly appeared on his face.

The bandits, who were galloping on their horses, reined in violently, showing great riding skill and discipline in order to enforce prohibitions.

The red dragon looked at the oasis with a gloomy face, raised his right hand and made two gestures.

The bandits rode their horses and scattered into a glaive formation, and slowly pressed towards the oasis in a semi-encircled manner.

When they reached the edge of the oasis, the bandits stopped at the same time, because they saw a man Shi Shiran slowly pacing out of the oasis.

It was a young man who was no more than twenty years old, and his handsome face even had a little bit of greenness that had not completely disappeared, but his eyes were as bright as water, revealing the clarity and tranquility that only an old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life and seen through the world could have. This man was slender and well-proportioned, wearing only a rather simple green cloth robe, a long sword with a colorful sheath hanging from his waist, and a pair of arms hanging down at his side were very distinctive, and the fingertips hung straight down to the knees.

Chi Long Ce immediately stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Who is Your Excellency, and why is you here?"

The young man smiled slightly, did not answer the other party's question first, but took out a piece of white paper marked with the eye-catching word "reward" and a portrait of a gongbi from his arms, looked at the person opposite and the avatar on the paper for a moment, nodded with satisfaction, and then arched his hand: "Your Excellency should be the leader of the 'Fire Cloud Thief', Chilong, there is no doubt that he came in Xia Yutian, but this time he came because he was about to make his debut and traveled the rivers and lakes and was shy in his pocket, so he planned to borrow your head in exchange for the five hundred taels of silver as a coil." ”

The person who came was Yu Tianlai, who had been cultivating in the Tianshan Mountains for three years, and had already restored the peak strength of his previous life with the help of "Ning Bidan". After recovering his strength, he had already tried to break through the pass of the innate realm, and faintly felt that there was indeed the existence of heaven and earth in this world, but he had never been able to achieve the sympathy between heaven and man, the introduction of qi into the body, and the internal and external attack of the true qi in the body to break through the entrance of heaven and earth.

This situation is also expected by him, although there is vitality in this world, it is already very thin. If you want to capture the vitality that is scattered between heaven and earth but is constantly circulating and changing, and attract a sufficient amount into the body, in addition to the unique exercises, it depends to a large extent on luck.

And this kind of luck is impossible to sit at home and fall from the sky, it requires people to travel all over the three mountains and five mountains, all over the world to find opportunities, which is one of the reasons why martial arts practitioners have to travel to the rivers and lakes when they reach this realm.

Now Yu Tianlai has also come to the time to go out of the mountain. He explained that the two golden silk people who had been named "Dajin" and "Erjin" guarded the door, and then carried the "Qingying Sword" down the Tianshan Mountain.

In addition to looking for an opportunity to break through the innate realm, Yu Tianlai also planned to take the opportunity to hone his swordsmanship. In his previous life, he had achieved the respect of the Son of Heaven, and although he later practiced fourteen kinds of supreme swordsmanship, he never had the opportunity to fight with people in real life and death, so in addition to the "Dharma Swordsmanship" that he practiced in his early years, the remaining thirteen kinds of swordsmanship are very suspicious of being made behind closed doors. Now that he has been reincarnated as a human being, he has been freed from the shackles of being an emperor, and he will also have the opportunity to hone his swordsmanship in real combat. For this reason, he made the horse thieves who were ravaging the Western Regions and full of blood as the first target to test his sword.

Red Dragon naturally didn't believe what the other party came for the reward, he looked at the oasis behind him, and asked with a cold face, "How are the sons and daughters I stayed here?"

Yu Tianlai patted the "Qingying Sword" on his waist, and said lightly: "Your subordinates are very unfriendly to Zaixia, and they are all clamoring to be sent to the lower underworld. In the next is also in its prime, and there is no plan to visit the underworld, so I have to send them first. There are thirty-five people in total, and there is no shortage of one. ”

Although he already had a premonition in his heart, hearing the other party's personal confirmation, Chilong's heart still twitched fiercely. His "Fire Cloud Thieves" have always taken the elite route, and each one is carefully selected and personally trained and taught. The thirty-five people who remained in the lair were all young and strong, and once the seventy-two men who followed him were killed or wounded, they would choose replacements from among these people, and now they were cut off by the kid in front of them.

He raised the thirty-two-pound nine-ring broadsword, and shouted with a hideous face: "If I can make you die happily today, my Red Dragon and Fire Cloud Thief will be removed from this desert from now on!"

Yu Tianlai slowly posed the "Green Shadow Sword" on his waist and hung it at his side, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he smiled: "Do you think that after today, you and your Fire Cloud Thief will still exist?"

"Up!" The Red Dragon Nine Rings Broadsword pointed forward, and all the thieves under his command let out a scream in unison, urging the mounts to dance the saber wildly, and rushed towards Yu Tianlai on the opposite side.
