The reeds swayed in the wind, and the snowflakes fell onto his raincoat, bringing with them a chill. Pei Zi Yun unsheathed his long sword and leapt off the reeds, landing on the ground. As soon as he landed, he realized that the reeds were very soft, and his feet sunk into the ground.
"High Scholar scoundrel, hand over your life!" The leader laughed sinisterly. He was filled with grief and indignation as he charged forward with his sword. The people behind him shouted and charged forward with their swords.
This was like a military formation. Pei Zi Yun's pupils shrank as he hurriedly moved forward.
"Kill this scoundrel, do not let him escape and harm the people again." The leader shouted. Hearing this, Pei Zi Yun felt that something was amiss. He was about to say something when he heard the leader's sword slashing down.
The sword was extremely fast. Almost at the same time, the two men on the left and right shouted as their swords flashed. Their coordination was flawless, and they attacked with all their might, leaving no room for maneuver.
Stepping on the mud, Pei Zi Yun's eyes turned cold as a dark aura appeared around him. Halfway through the attack, Pei Zi Yun's body felt much lighter. Like a ray of light, the sword pierced through the man's body from the side.
"Ugh …." The man groaned as his right abdomen split open. His internal organs and blood flowed out.
"No, Fourth Brother!" The blade light retracted, and three "zheng zheng zheng" sounds could be heard. Pei Zi Yun took advantage of the momentum and pounced forward. In that instant, a great calamity befell one of them.
"Pu!" The sword pierced through his left shoulder and into his lungs. Fresh blood splattered everywhere.
"Kill!" At this point, the sound of swords clashing could be heard from the boat. Pei Zi Yun turned around and saw five or six people leaping forward. Two soldiers were fighting on the deck of the boat.
Pei Zi Yun wielded his sword and charged forward. Unlike himself, Liao Ge was an ordinary civil servant. He might not even be able to kill a chicken.
Someone on the left and right shouted, "Quick, quick, stop them."
"Chen Ping, kill that dog official. This High Scholar's martial arts are profound. We can't kill him. If you kill that dog official, you can avenge the people of Fu County."
"Yes, big brother!" Chen Ping was a burly man. When he heard these words, he charged into the cabin of the boat. The two soldiers were already retreating. When they saw Chen Ping charging towards them, their faces turned pale.
"Kill! Protect the Lord!" Pei Zi Yun was a top scorer, but he wasn't the Head Envoy. Liao Ge was the Head Envoy of the troops, and was also an official. If he were to be killed, these two soldiers would be beheaded even if they returned to the Imperial Court.
They looked at each other and roared, unwilling to retreat.
"Die, Eagle Claw!" Chen Ping's bladesmanship was swift and fierce. In the blink of an eye, the two of them could no longer block him. After a few moves, one of the soldiers revealed an opening.
"Die!" Chen Ping coldly laughed and slashed out with his saber, cutting off Xiang Bing's hand that was holding the saber. It fell to the ground, and blood flowed out. Xiang Bing's face was filled with despair. He didn't advance, but instead retreated and rushed forward.
"Pu!" Chen Ping pierced through the guard and was about to pull his blade out when the guard laughed out, "Thief, die with me!"
As he said this, his remaining hand grabbed the saber tightly. Chen Ping couldn't pull it out and couldn't retreat. Another soldier stepped forward and slashed with his saber. It was fierce and accurate.
"Pfft!" Chen Ping let out a blood-curdling scream as his chest was pierced through.
"Not good!" All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Pei Zi Yun had only managed to take a few steps forward when he mumbled something under his breath. His sword glowed with a strange light, "Die!"
The blades on his left and right shot out, as the sword gleamed brightly before disappearing. Cries of agony and the sound of blood raining down could be heard. The two guards who were blocking Pei Zi Yun fell to the ground.
"Ah!" At this point, a blood-curdling scream could be heard from the boat. Liao Ge retreated several steps, as if he was begging for mercy. However, he was in a frenzy of killing, and couldn't care less. He shouted, "Dog official, die!"
"Pu" The blade pierced through, and the entire boat was covered in blood.
"Die!" Pei Zi Yun saw that Liao Ge had been killed, and his eyes turned bloodshot. This was the head of the group. He laughed coldly, "I wanted to ask for a reason, but it seems like I won't have to."
"All of you, die!"
"Earth Sinking Technique!" He stretched out his hand, and because it was a swamp, the ground beneath the leader's feet sank deeper than the ground.
The leader's eyes narrowed, and he wanted to jump out, but it was too late. His sword gleamed brightly, and a head flew into the air. Blood splattered everywhere.
Seeing this, the people who had retreated shouted out, "Big brother Qi!"
Their eyes turned bloodshot as they pounced forward.
"All of you, die!"
"Flash Technique!"
As they pounced forward, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they were blinded. One of them exclaimed, "Not good, this person is a demon. Retreat, quick!"
Just as he was about to shout, he stopped abruptly. Another head flew into the air. Pei Zi Yun wielded his sword and charged forward, and heard three 'pu pu' sounds. Three men who had their eyes closed had been killed.
Dao arts had been fused with his martial arts. Killing these so-called martial arts experts was as easy as flipping his palm. Only one person managed to dodge the flash of light.
Rain and snow fell onto the ground. The person who had dodged was covered in mud, and was panting, "Demon, I'm right. There are demons like you who are aiding the pirates. You are indeed a demon from Ji Bei Hou's Mansion."
Pei Zi Yun laughed coldly, "Hm, I've already broken ties with Ji Bei Hou's Mansion when I handed over the plan to exterminate the pirates. How could I be a lackey of Ji Bei Hou's Mansion?"
The man paused, "How is that possible? You are obviously an accomplice of the pirates. You can't be wrong."
The man hesitated. At this point, a scream was heard. Pei Zi Yun turned around and saw that the second soldier could not hold on any longer. A head rolled onto the deck. The man shouted, "Li Cheng, quick, kill this person. He must be stalling for time. Don't let him recover, or he'll use his demonic arts again."
"That's right. Whether it's a misunderstanding or hatred, who would give up now?" At this point, several people shouted and charged forward.
"Zheng!" The blade and the sword clashed. The moment they clashed, the person wielding the blade felt his body tremble as he lost all his strength. The next moment, the sword pierced through his abdomen. This would not kill him in a short period of time, but would cause him to faint from the pain. He threw the blade away and fell to the ground, "Quick, save me!"
"Kill!"
Another sword slashed through the blade, piercing through his ribs. Fresh blood splattered everywhere, but the next blade was already at his right shoulder. Pei Zi Yun's sword was obviously not strong, but Li Cheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his blade flew out of his hand.
Pei Zi Yun cleared his throat and was about to charge forward when he felt his legs go soft. Although he had only used a short amount of time, he had already used Dao arts seven or eight times. Although the last few strikes weren't as obvious, it was because of the Dao arts that his opponent lost all his strength. Pei Zi Yun's cultivation was still shallow, and he couldn't use any more Dao arts.
"Kill, this High Scholar can't use his demonic arts anymore." Li Cheng was overjoyed. The rest of the men shouted out in unison as they charged forward, using their blades to kill Pei Zi Yun.
Pei Zi Yun retreated a few steps. Behind him was the river, and he jumped into the water. Li Cheng couldn't react in time. Pei Zi Yun's sword slashed across his chest. Li Cheng screamed in pain as he fell to the ground.
"Kill!" Another two men pounced forward. Pei Zi Yun used his sword to slash at the water. The two men in front of him were hit in the eyes by the splashes of water, blinding them.
The two men screamed out in fear and retreated. The sword flashed across their necks, and blood splattered everywhere. The two men clutched their necks as they fell into the river, staining the water red.
"Hua" Pei Zi Yun stood up from the water, as the water on his body flowed down his body. At this point, the people on the boat had caught up as well, and there were four of them.
"Hm, you guys didn't manage to do it in one go. Your fates are sealed." Although he didn't have much energy left, it was enough for him to strike once more.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The blade and sword flashed, and three men screamed out in pain. Their hearts and lungs had been pierced, and they fell to the ground. One of them turned around and ran. Pei Zi Yun chased after him.
"Die!" At this point, the man in front of him turned around and shot out a hidden weapon. Pei Zi Yun hurriedly deflected it, but one of the hidden weapons pierced through the sword light and landed on his armor.
Pei Zi Yun broke out in cold sweat. Something's not right. How could this man have hidden weapons? He chased after him, and the man threw out another hidden weapon. Pei Zi Yun was prepared, and deflected all of them.
"Pu!" The man was struck by the sword, and screamed out in pain.
"Speak, who sent you?" Pei Zi Yun was about to interrogate him when the man suddenly stopped screaming, and fell to the ground.
Pei Zi Yun was shocked, and used his sword to stab the man on the ground. The man didn't move at all. He then broke the tendons in his limbs, and flipped the man over. The man was bleeding from all his orifices, and the blood was black. When he opened his mouth, he saw poisonous teeth.
"Death warrior?" Pei Zi Yun's face darkened.
At this point, the rain and snow started to fall. Deep within the reeds, a pair of terrified eyes stared at the scene.
Pei Zi Yun heard the sound of breathing, but he didn't look inside. It was the man who had been stabbed in the stomach. He wasn't dead yet, and was still struggling on the ground, "You're an accomplice of the pirates. You will die a horrible death. It's a pity that my brothers aren't your match. You won't be able to escape.
We're not the only ones. "Pei Zi Yun stretched out his hand and placed it on the man's wound, and stopped the blood from flowing. He then asked," Who told you that we were pirates? "
"Haha, you think we don't know?"
"Cough cough, when you're about to drink, don't stop. Ji Bei Hou colluded with the pirates to destroy the county. Because of this, you wrote this poem, and became Ji Bei Hou's advisor. You think we don't know? If it wasn't for Fifteenth Brother, cough cough …" As the man spoke, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Pei Zi Yun wanted to ask more, but the man was already dead.
The ground was littered with corpses. Snow continued to fall from the skies, covering everything. Pei Zi Yun hopped onto the boat and looked at Liao Ge before calling out, "Your excellency Liao?"
Liao Ge wasn't dead yet, but with one look, he could tell that Liao Ge wasn't breathing. He was speechless. Just a moment ago, they were still talking about wine and poetry, and now he was about to die. He sighed, "Your excellency Liao, what other wishes do you have? If I can do it, I will do it for you."
Pei Zi Yun looked at Liao Ge struggling to speak. He stepped forward and pressed on him. A white light flashed, and Liao Ge's face turned red, "Hehe, thank you master Top Scorer. I've been studying etiquette all my life, and I've never let anyone down. It's just that I was poor all those years ago, and I owed my wife a lot. I didn't let her live a good life."
"And now I owe my daughter. I only have this one daughter, and her mother died young. She can't stay in the tribe for long. I hope master Top Scorer will take care of her."
As Liao Ge spoke up to this point, his face had turned grey. He was panting, and his eyes were wide open. It was as if he wouldn't die until Pei Zi Yun agreed.
"I will definitely take care of your daughter. Brother Liao Ge, go ahead." Liao Ge's internal organs had been damaged, and even the Rain Technique couldn't save him. That technique just now wasn't the Rain Technique, but a special technique that allowed one to regain consciousness.
"Thank you master Top Scorer." As Liao Ge spoke, he choked and spat out a mouthful of blood. He then collapsed onto the deck of the boat, lifeless.
Within the reeds, the little girl looked at the corpses on the floor, her eyes filled with disbelief. She then glared at the boat with hatred, and covered her mouth with her hands.
That night, when the pirates attacked their house, they did the same thing. Her mother hid her in the grass, and she covered her mouth to save her life.
Silently, tears rolled down her cheeks, mixing with the rainwater. She took advantage of the fact that the pirates were still on the boat, and slowly turned around to escape.
