"Heh, Third Elder, I didn't lie to you. In the past, when we were collecting grain, we stayed here. There are also wing rooms in this temple, and the surrounding five meters is empty space. There are a few rooms in the wing room, and we can sleep peacefully at night. Tomorrow morning, we can recharge our strength and go receive goods and women. Hehe!" After saying that, he laughed twice, appearing very wretched.
The three of them walked into the temple. It was huge, except for the fact that it was broken.
There was a hall in front, and a few rooms in the backyard. In the middle, there was a flower bed. The flower bed had long been abandoned, and was filled with shrubs that were half the height of a person.
The middle-aged bandit looked around, and realized that there were no signs of humans in the temple. He then instructed, "You keep watch, and replace me at midnight. Be serious."
After saying that, he swaggered into the wing room. He found that the bed in the wing room had long been broken, and there were only some dry straws piled inside. He made some firewood, piled them together, and lit a bonfire. He kicked away the straw around the bonfire and fell asleep.
The night was cold, and the bandits who were keeping watch were not willing to suffer in the cold. They sat by the side of the fire, and looked around in boredom.
Pei Zi Yun did not make a move, but waited quietly.
First, he was waiting for the two bandits to fall asleep. Second, he was waiting for the bandit to get tired.
At this point, under the light of the fire, the bandit's clothes were black and dirty. He was yawning in boredom. Suddenly, he looked like he was about to pee, and walked to the corner of the wall.
Pei Zi Yun took a deep breath, and stealthily moved forward. In an instant, he stabbed the bandit.
"Pu!"
Although the tip of the bamboo wasn't sharp, it could easily pierce through a person. The bandit felt a sharp pain in his chest, and looked down to see a bamboo spear piercing through his chest. His mouth twitched, and he was about to scream.
At this point, a hatchet sliced through his throat, and with a 'pu chi' sound, it sliced through his windpipe, throat, and carotid artery. Fresh blood splattered everywhere.
Pei Zi Yun could clearly see the bandit's body bounce up, and fall heavily to the ground. His eyes bulged out like a dead fish, as he landed on the ground, groaning.
Pei Zi Yun did not speak, the sound was unavoidable. He wiped the blood off his face. He had just killed a bandit. Before he killed him, he was filled with anger, but after killing him, he felt like vomiting.
"There are two more!" After killing this man, Pei Zi Yun's eyes gleamed.
Just at this moment, a bandit who was sleeping soundly suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. Looking at the moonlight outside, he estimated the time. It was his turn to keep watch.
Touching his saber, he stood up and stretched his muscles, preparing to change shifts. When he arrived at the door, he saw a bandit sitting by the bonfire. His head was bent over, as if he had fallen asleep.
"Hey, it's time to change shifts." As he spoke, he walked over, but he immediately felt something was wrong. There was a strong smell of blood.
"Die!" Pei Zi Yun's bamboo spear pierced through the air.
"Pu!" The bandit reacted very quickly. With a backhand slash, he chopped at the bamboo spear and immediately chopped it in half.
At this moment, a saber slashed towards his neck. The saber light was so bright that he could only vaguely see a figure.
The bandit couldn't help but lick his lips as he sidestepped the saber. With a ferocious smile, he charged forward. When he saw who it was, he shouted, "Little bastard, die for your grandpa!"
This was to wake up the Third Leader!
He had only taken two steps when he suddenly tripped. Before he could react, he fell down.
"It's a rope to trip me!" The bandit reacted immediately. This was a method the villagers often used to hunt animals. But just as this thought flashed through his mind, he saw the flash of a saber. Pu chi! The saber slashed across his neck, and fresh blood spurted out from his throat.
"Peng!" The corpse fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Who?"
When the middle-aged bandit shouted outside, he had already woken up. When the bandit fell to the ground, he was already fully awake. Subconsciously, he reached for his saber and rushed out.
When he looked, he saw that the two men he had brought out were lying on the ground, covered in blood.
In the distance, a figure was running away. He had already reached the forest outside the walls. The figure was not big, and was very skinny. He held a bamboo spear and a long saber as he entered the forest.
"Little bastard, you dare to kill my Black Wind Bandits and still want to escape? Die!" With one look, the middle-aged bandit knew what had happened. His face contorted, and his eyes turned bloodshot. In an instant, he dashed forward.
Pei Zi Yun turned around and saw that the middle-aged bandit had already caught up to him. This speed was incomparable to the speed of the two ordinary bandits he had killed.
In his previous life, because the village had handed over the young girl, Pei Zi Yun had never seen the strength of this middle-aged bandit. Looking at him now, he was indeed a bandit. This time, he had made a huge mistake, and was being chased.
In a few breaths, the person behind him had caught up.
"Bastard, I have Dao Arts!" Pei Zi Yun laughed coldly. The original owner had learned Dao Arts. Although he had not specifically trained in it, there were some techniques that even an ordinary person could use.
Of course, the power of these techniques was small. But in this forest, as long as there was a slight delay, he would be able to kill the middle-aged bandit.
"Leg Trip!"
As he walked past a withered vine, Pei Zi Yun pointed at it.
This technique was deeply etched in his memory. It was actually a trick. All an ordinary person had to do was to use it, and he would be able to delay the middle-aged bandit and kill him.
But in the next moment, Pei Zi Yun's expression froze. The withered vine did not react at all.
"Go to hell!" The middle-aged bandit laughed sinisterly and slashed at Pei Zi Yun. Without thinking, Pei Zi Yun rolled on the ground. A few strands of hair were cut off, and his body fell to the ground, rolling into the forest.
Out of the corner of his eyes, Pei Zi Yun glanced at the middle-aged bandit from the Black Wind Sect who had followed him in. Without any hesitation, he rolled to the side and passed through the bushes. He saw that the bushes were full of thorns, and some of the leaves had turned yellow and fallen onto the bushes.
Pei Zi Yun passed through the bushes and looked at the pursuing Black Wind bandit. Without looking back, he ran into the mountains. The mountains were filled with trees, and the shadows were dense. As long as he kept a distance of thirty steps, the dense forest would be the best cover at night.
As soon as he entered the forest, the Black Wind bandit felt that something was wrong. All he could see were bushes, and it was difficult to see clearly at night. He could see that the bushes were not very tall, and the moment he touched the thorns, he felt a piercing pain in his heart.
He fiercely pulled out a wooden thorn that was stuck in his leg. The corner of his mouth curled up as he let out a soft cry. He pulled out a knife and chopped a few times. The bushes were immediately cut down and scattered to the ground. Some moonlight shone through the forest, and the dense thorns under the bushes were exposed, densely packed.
Pei Zi Yun did not even look back as he continued running. Three breaths had passed, and he was fifteen steps away. Under the cover of the dense forest, his silhouette was getting further and further away.
The middle-aged bandit's eyes turned cold, and he slashed at the bushes that were blocking his way, and chased after Pei Zi Yun.
Pei Zi Yun was panting heavily. His body was really weak. He had only used a short amount of time to attack and run, but his arms were already aching and his lungs were burning. Pei Zi Yun was familiar with this place. Back in the mountain village, even though he had passed the examinations, his family was poor. He had to go up the mountain from time to time to help his family gather some mushrooms, firewood, or wild vegetables to support the family.
It was also because of this kind of labor that he often came and went in the mountains. Only then did he have the strength to flee and attack. At this moment, although he was brave, it was difficult for him to move.
The middle-aged bandit had already caught up, and was only seven or eight steps away. Although there were bushes in between, and he did not dare to run around, it would take him at most two or three breaths to catch up. As he neared, he heard Pei Zi Yun panting. He was overjoyed. This bastard was exhausted. With that thought in mind, he raised his knife and pounced forward.
Five steps, four steps, three steps.
"I'm close, die!" One step, two steps, the long knife in his hand slashed down, and a cold light flashed.
At this point, he suddenly staggered, as if he had tripped over something. The knife that had been smoothly slashed out suddenly missed its target. A tree beside him, which was as thick as an arm, was cut in half and fell to the ground.
"Cunning!" Pei Zi Yun saw that it was a wooden plank. He must have kicked it while he was running.
Pei Zi Yun gasped for breath and rolled on the ground. He raised his knife and was about to slash down when he saw the middle-aged bandit looking back at him, and the knife in his hand moved.
Pei Zi Yun was shocked. He saw that the bandit's knife had been deflected, and the light shone into his eyes, causing his vision to blur. Shocked, he rolled on the ground and opened his eyes. All he could see were bushes and trees that had been cut in half. At this point, a few trees the size of an arm had fallen, blocking the bandit's path.
What a good opportunity! Pei Zi Yun was overjoyed. He pressed his hands against the ground and stood up, running away.
Just now, according to Pei Zi Yun's original plan, he should have stalled the bandit leader and killed him with his knife, just like he had done with the other bandits in the temple. But this man's knife technique was so cruel, and his reaction was so fast. Just as he was about to counterattack, he was blinded by the light of the knife. This man was indeed an old bandit who had been through countless battles, and could not be dealt with normally.

Night Deepened, Snail Village
The sounds of people gradually died down, but not far from the entrance, there were still a few people staring at her. It was obvious that they were trying to prevent her from escaping. The two courtyards were connected, and after a while, a person pressed against the wall and slipped to the opposite side.
"Brother Pei … where are you?" Ye Su'er entered the house, and the sudden darkness caused her to stop in her tracks. Although she knew that her brother Pei did not have the power to save her, but … she still held onto a glimmer of hope … even if it was just one more time.
There was no reply, and no sound. Her face slowly turned pale.
All of a sudden, she recalled a similar scene from when she was young. Han Ye had run away from home in a fit of pique, and had fallen into a trap in the mountains. The trap was too secluded, and the adults who were searching at night had missed it several times. She cried and cried …
Listening to the howls of the wolves in the mountains, the light of dawn shone brightly. She saw a boy lying in the trap, his voice hoarse. It was only later that she found out that the wolves had passed by, and that the adults had given up. Only the boy was still searching in the dark, listening to the howls of the wolves like her. He did not give up and found her …
But the boy was too stupid, jumping into the trap and squatting down with her. She could only remember to shout 'idiot' to vent her fear, and to calm herself down.
But now, even that feeling had disappeared?
She opened her eyes, and her trembling hands hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open.
Under the moonlight, no one was asleep.
Seeing that brother Pei was not ignoring her, the color returned to her face, and she frantically searched the room, "Where is he? He was here just now! "
After searching for a while, she suddenly thought of something, and her face turned pale, "The hatchet is gone. No, could it be that brother Pei has gone …"
She did not hesitate any longer. She staggered and nimbly hid in the shadows, rushing out of the village.
