Chapter 7 Retreat
Zhang Ming has abundant physical strength and strong endurance, but his speed is still not comparable to that of a horse. If you want to surpass the horse at speed, you must reach the innate realm.
Fortunately, Zhang Ming had enough patience and hung far behind the bandits, so he would not lose it.
A thief rode on a horse and said dissatisfiedly: "I ran away, and I only got a few hundred taels of silver, and if I go on like this, I don't know when I will get rich?"
The bandits and bandits look chic, eating meat in large pieces and drinking in large bowls, but this is a life with their heads lifted, maybe they will be killed that day, and no one will collect the corpse. Those who have made a fortune are all those bandit leaders with strong martial arts, and they can't save money at all.
The bandit man at the head sighed and said, "The larger hills in Anxi Mansion have been occupied, and we are new to the city, so it's better to keep a low profile." This area is a poor and remote area, with only a few small villages, and no caravans pass by, where there is any oil and water. But we can't kill chickens for eggs, and if we collect too much money, and the villagers resist to the death and refuse to pay the money, even if we kill them, it will not do us any good. ”
Bandits and bandits are just asking for money, and as long as they pay money, they generally will not kill people indiscriminately. After all, bandits are not crazy either.
And they also understand the truth of the long stream.
A third-rate martial artist said: "The big master is a first-class martial artist, and a set of thirty-six Tiangang swordsmanship is rarely an opponent. Three hundred miles away, there is a Red Lotus Village, there are only more than 100 people, we can completely defeat and absorb them, and with the territory, everyone can make a fortune. ”
The majority of the income of Red Lotus Village is to rob caravans, collect road money, and live a prosperous life. This makes them, the new bandits, very red-eyed, being able to occupy a trade route is equivalent to guarding a cash cow, how can they not be tempted?
The head of the thief said: "The big boss of the Red Lotus Village is called Min Hongtao, and he is practicing the Lotus Sutra of Buddhism, and his lotus blood hand has been completed, and the big boss may not be an opponent now." However, as long as the big master completes Tiangang's swordsmanship, he will definitely be able to use this fang, and the Red Lotus Village will also belong to us, and when the time comes, we will not have to worry about food and clothing. ”
After Zhang Ming became a first-class martial artist, his hearing and eyesight have improved greatly. The thieves spoke, without taboos, and their voices were very loud, and Zhang Ming, who was hanging behind them, could hear them clearly.
"The big boss among the bandits turned out to be a first-class martial artist, I'm afraid it won't be easy to do this time. Zhang Ming secretly said in his heart, "Tiangang swordsmanship is said to be a martial art in the army, it is powerful, and it is a rare superior swordsmanship, what is the connection between these bandits and the imperial army?"
The two sets of swordsmanship of Tiangang and Disha are the standard martial arts in the army, and it is not easy to learn these two swordsmanship.
No matter what kind of situation this big master learns Tiangang swordsmanship, it is very difficult to mess with.
If one hundred and eight people formed the Tiangang Earth Evil Sword Formation, even if the innate martial artist was trapped, he would have to hate and fall.
............
"It's here. After a day of running, I finally came back. ”
The man led by him got off the horse, and the next thing to go was the mountain road, which was not as easy as it is now, but fortunately, the distance was not far, and it took less than half a pillar of incense to get to the cottage.
"yes, it's finally here. Now I'm hungry and thirsty, and today I need to have a good meal. ”
When they arrived at the top of the mountain, everyone was relaxed.
It is also very possible that they, the new bandits who came to Anxi Province, ran outside and were killed by bandits from other cottages. It's good luck to come back safely.
It's a pity that they didn't expect that Zhang Ming, a scholar, would follow behind them and find their lair.
Zhang Ming did not take the mountain path, but walked quickly through the trees, as flexible as a spirit monkey, and the trees and vines could not stop the first-class martial artists. In this way, you will be able to avoid the bandits' secret sentinels.
"Although this mountain is small, it is better than secrecy, if it weren't for following behind these bandits, who would have thought that this place would be a bandit's den?" Zhang Ming sneered in his heart.
Knowing that the thief's boss was a first-class martial artist, and he had also practiced Tiangang swordsmanship, Zhang Ming was very jealous in his heart, and when he arrived at the cottage, he was careful and careful, cautious and cautious.
There are really no fewer bandits in the cottage, there are more than 80 people, including more than 30 third-rate martial artists and 12 second-rate martial artists. Otherwise, Zhang Ming would have run away immediately, and he wouldn't dare to sneak in at all.
Even in the face of such a force, once Zhang Ming is discovered, it will be very troublesome.
In the courtyard, a middle-aged man in leather armor was practicing swordsmanship, his swordsmanship was skillful, his speed was fast, and the long sword stirred in the air, forming a stream of qi, as if it was a transparent protective shield.
"Tiangang swordsmanship. Zhang Ming, who was hiding in the shadows, said secretly in his heart.
Zhang Ming had never seen Tiangang swordsmanship, but this middle-aged man was a first-class martial artist, and he thought he was the master of the bandits. Coupled with the characteristics of this swordsmanship, it is not difficult to guess.
"Big boss, we're back. A couple of thieves walked into the courtyard with their parcels.
The big boss continued to practice swordsmanship, and said lightly: "How much silver did you receive?"
"Hey, it's only a few hundred taels, and those villages don't have any oil and water at all. Big boss, it seems that we have to take down the Red Lotus Village as soon as possible. ”
The big master nodded and said: "What I said is that the Red Lotus Village will soon be ours, and my Tiangang swordsmanship will be completed in another month." ”
The other thieves were all delighted when they heard this: "Congratulations to the great master for his martial arts." Then we will let the rabbit cubs of Red Lotus Village live for an extra month. Even if we leave the army, I believe that under the leadership of the big boss, the brothers will be able to eat and drink spicy food. ”
Zhang Ming, who was in the shadows, was surprised in his heart, these bandits turned out to be rebels?
Zhang Ming said secretly: "No wonder these bandits are very disciplined, and the big masters know the martial arts of Tiangang swordsmanship in the army, it turns out that they are rebels." ”
Although it is not clear what the reason for these soldiers defected from the army, it is even more unforgivable that they became bandits and oppressed the people.
Zhang Ming didn't suppress the emotions in his heart, and his breathing became heavier.
The big boss frowned, his ears trembled slightly, and he shouted: "Who? sneak, get out!"
The long sword was like a meteor, frantically stabbing at Zhang Ming.
Zhang Ming secretly said that it was not good, and he was exposed.
The master of the army, the vigilance is really strong.
Without having time to think about it, Zhang Ming drew his long sword.
Boom!
The two long swords collided, sending out a burst of sparks, and a loud sound alarmed the entire cottage.
Zhang Ming's face changed slightly, the power of the big boss was above him, at least twice as strong as himself. With the huge force from the big master's sword, Zhang Ming quickly retreated, hoping to unload the power of the shock.
"There are thieves. ”
A bandit saw Zhang Ming, dressed in black, and shouted loudly.
Zhang Ming controlled his voice and sneered: "You are thieves, and you even shout that there are thieves, it's really funny, it's really ironic." ”
The big boss looked at Zhang Ming coldly: "Your Excellency is so bold, you dare to come to my cottage alone." Looking at your excellency, you are also a first-class martial artist. But alas, you are only a beginner, which dooms you to die at my hands. ”
With the sword just now, both of them used all their strength, whether it was the big boss or Zhang Ming, they all knew the strength of the other party.
Zhang Ming said flatly: "Yes, it's not so easy to keep me." I can't deal with you, but the others don't have the martial arts of the masters. ”
Zhang Ming stepped on his footwork, and the long sword in his hand stabbed at the other bandits.
The big boss snorted coldly, with a murderous face, and used light skills to intercept Zhang Ming.
There are not many people in the cottage, only more than eighty people, and they are about to start a war with the Red Lotus Village to fight for control of the trade route, but they can't let the brothers lose in the hands of this man in black.
Zhang Ming laughed secretly: "I'm not afraid that you will save people, but I am afraid that you will not save you." As long as you save people, you have scruples, then I have hope of escaping. ”
The big boss has Tiangang swordsmanship and light skills, and his attack and speed are stronger than Zhang Ming. If he didn't care about the lives of the bandits, Zhang Ming would definitely not be an opponent.
Zhang Ming's swordsmanship has reached the realm of supernatural mastery, and he doesn't have a hard time with the big boss, and the big boss has no way to take him down for a while.
Zhang Ming was trapped in the cottage, but his mood was not impatient at all, and once he found an opportunity, he fled immediately.
In three breaths, Zhang Ming narrowly avoided more than ten fierce attacks from the big boss, killed two more bandits, and finally found an opportunity.
"Everyone else, get out of the way of Lao Tzu. The big boss yelled.
At this moment, Zhang Ming grabbed the door and fled down the mountain.
"Where to escape?" the big boss chased out.
Zhang Ming's physical endurance is very strong, except for his lack of internal strength, his physical fitness is not comparable to ordinary first-class martial artists at all. He didn't believe that the big boss could outweigh himself.
Once the internal strength of the big boss is exhausted, he may be killed by himself.
Zhang Ming did not walk in a straight line, but fled along the curve, so that even if the big boss was faster than himself, it would not be easy to chase and kill him.
The two chased and fled, after half an hour, they had left the cottage for hundreds of miles, and the internal strength of the big boss consumed most of it, and then chased and killed, some of them were powerless, once the internal strength was exhausted, it would be dangerous.
But Zhang Ming was still calm and relaxed, and his speed did not decrease at all.
The big boss was shocked in his heart: "Who the hell is this guy? He has no internal strength, but he has the strength of 10,000 catties, and his basic swordsmanship is superb, and what is even more incredible is that he will not get tired no matter how he runs." Could it be that he is from Red Lotus Village, and he has come to inquire about the news?"
It's not a way to chase it any further, so the big boss stopped.
Zhang Ming stood thirty zhang away and said with a smile: "Big boss, don't you want to kill me, why don't you chase me, your internal strength is almost exhausted, right? ”
Light and subtle, extremely fast, but it needs to consume internal energy. Without internal strength, it is impossible for the big boss to catch up with Zhang Ming.
The big boss had an iron face and was unwilling in his heart, but this man in black was too slippery and greasy, and he couldn't kill him today.
"You'd better not show up again, or you'll die next time. The big boss said coldly to Zhang Ming.
If he is a master of Tiangang's swordsmanship, he can kill this man in black in less than ten moves.
After saying that, the big boss left with light skills.
Zhang Ming said secretly: "The next time I come back, it will be when your cottage is destroyed." As long as he gives himself another year, Zhang Ming believes that he will be able to beat this big boss.
The big boss is a master in the army and has rich experience in fighting, so Zhang Ming is certainly not an opponent now.
did not exterminate the bandits, but the harvest was not small, not only found out the situation of the cottage, but also saw the Tiangang swordsmanship. Fighting with first-class martial artists, the experience of fighting the enemy has increased a lot, which is the most rare.
