Darkness enveloped the land and the sounds of wild beasts and cicadas could be heard from time to time in the dense forest.
"Rustle rustle!"
Just as Lin Xiu was immersed in comprehending the skill, he suddenly heard the sound of leaves rustling.
A glint flashed in his eyes and Lin Xiu carefully controlled his breathing. He then used his Graceful Movement Technique and slowly floated towards the big tree at the side like a feather.
"Sixth brother, how was your harvest this time?"
"Hehe, fourth brother, you don't say. There was a mother and daughter passing by in the evening. The two ladies were so pretty that I drooled just by looking at them."
"Cut the crap, I'm asking you how was your harvest?"
"Fourth brother, don't be like this. Alright, I'll say it, you don't have to stare at me. Today, I made two deals, especially with the mother and daughter. After I killed them, I found around a thousand gold coins. "
"En, not bad. We shouldn't stay here for long, quickly follow me back to the village."
Lin Xiu's body was filled with killing intent as he listened to the whispers. It seemed like they were the horse bandits that his grandfather mentioned. They were indeed a bunch of murderers and arsonists, beasts that did all sorts of evil.
Lin Xiu quietly approached the other party and secretly took out a short knife from his clothes. Then, he took advantage of the darkness and slowly approached the voice.
"Pa!"
Lin Xiu was still too young and did not notice that the branch under his feet was too flexible. He directly stepped on it and broke it, causing his entire body to fall.
"Who is it?" The horse bandits who heard the movement shouted.
Seeing that he was exposed, Lin Xiu did not hide anymore and rushed towards the other party with the short knife.
When Lin Xiu got closer, the two horse bandits saw that it was a young man and could not help but sneer, "A brat that hasn't even grown his hair and dares to come out to die."
With that, the two of them did not waste any more time and flanked Lin Xiu from the left and right.
In the darkness, their vision was obstructed, but the two horse bandits were involved in murder and arson, so the darkness did not affect them much.
On the other hand, this was the first time Lin Xiu had drawn his saber against someone. He could not help but be a little nervous and could only rely on the mystical movement technique to deal with the two of them.
Lin Xiu did not shout for help. In his opinion, with the Nine Dragon Heaven Locking Armour, his life would not be in danger no matter how he looked at it. These two horse bandits had delivered themselves to him, and it was a golden opportunity for him to train.
When the two bandits saw that the youth in front of them was too slippery, they were enraged. They pulled out the long sabers on their backs and slashed at the youth!
Bang!
Lin Xiu dodged the attack, but the tree behind him suffered a calamity and was slashed by the saber for no reason.
"Old Six, I'll hold him back. You find an opportunity to strike from the side," the black-clothed bandit instructed another bandit.
Nodding his head, the horse bandit called Old Six gave up on fighting with Lin Xiu and floated to Lin Xiu's left side, quietly waiting for Lin Xiu to reveal a flaw.
The horse bandit who was confronting Lin Xiu grinned, his teeth gleaming under the reflection of the blade. He then rushed forward and stretched out his left palm towards Lin Xiu.
"Clear Breeze Palm!" Lin Xiu muttered in his heart, then the elemental energy in his body flowed through his veins and into his left hand.
After clashing head-on with Lin Xiu, the horse bandit staggered. With his strength in the late stage of the Blood Refining Realm, he actually suffered a small loss in Lin Xiu's hands.
And the horse bandit Old Six, who was patiently waiting at the side, finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He took advantage of Lin Xiu's time to catch his breath and slashed at Lin Xiu's waist.
With a change in his footsteps, Lin Xiu dodged the menacing slash by a hair's breadth, but his long robe was slashed with a huge hole.
Frowning, he thought that if this stalemate continued, the situation would become more and more disadvantageous to him. Lin Xiu decided to rely on his advantage in movement skills to eliminate one person first.
The horse bandit who confronted him previously was in the late stage of the Blood Refining Realm, and this sneak attack from the side, Old Six, from the fluctuations of his origin power, was only in the middle stage of the Blood Refining Realm, so he would start with him.
After making up his mind, Lin Xiu relied on his advantage in speed and no longer clashed head-on with the stronger horse bandit. Instead, he kept moving around the horse bandit Old Six, and when he was free, he would use the short knife in his hand to slash the other party.
The injured horse bandit Old Six became even more anxious and couldn't help but shout, "Fourth brother, this young man is tough, I'm not his opponent."
The horse bandit Old Four looked at the erratic Lin Xiu, clenched his teeth, then kept his big knife and prepared to fight Lin Xiu in close combat.
Seeing the other party like this, Lin Xiu's eyes lit up. Fighting with him in close combat, wasn't this like playing with a knife in front of Guan Yu?
After slashing the horse bandit Old Six, Lin Xiu purposely showed an opening and let the horse bandit Old Four get close to him. Thinking that he had succeeded, the horse bandit Old Four raised his right hand and punched towards Lin Xiu's face.
Lin Xiu snorted coldly. He tilted his body and allowed the punch to land on his back. Then, he grabbed onto his back and fixed the bandit number four in place. He then exerted force on his waist and threw the bandit number four out fiercely. Lin Xiu did not expect that the bandit number four would not be able to do so.
In the blink of an eye, just as the horse bandit Old Four fell to the ground and the horse bandit Old Six, who was covering his wound, had yet to react, Lin Xiu rushed to the front of the horse bandit Old Four and took out his short knife. Under the other party's horrified gaze, Lin Xiu slashed his neck.
Fresh blood spurted out and splattered all over Lin Xiu.
Seeing that his fourth brother, who was stronger than him, had died, the horse bandit Old Six panicked and fled.
But Lin Xiu still stood there in a daze, looking at the fresh blood in his hand, unable to calm down for a long time.
Not long after, Lin Wentian's figure suddenly appeared beside Lin Xiu with a head in his hand. It was the fleeing horse bandit Old Six.
"Cultivation is like this, everyone has their own reasons to become stronger. Just like this time, if you didn't kill him, he would have killed you. Xiu 'er, killing someone isn't scary, what's scary is killing without knowing the reason. "Lin Wentian looked at his grandson with heartache.
Many people weren't used to killing for the first time and he hoped that his grandson could adapt as much as possible. This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak.
Although he was still arguing with Lin Feng and the others in the afternoon about who would be the final winner, but in the blink of an eye, he personally ended someone's life. This was still a little hard for Lin Xiu to accept.
"Xiu 'er, let me ask you, why did you kill this horse bandit?" Lin Wentian asked.
"They are all bad people who do all kinds of evil. If I don't kill them, I'm afraid that they will harm even more people." Lin Xiu said in a low voice.
"Since that's the case, you killed them and saved more people. No matter what, you must remember, no matter how strong you become in the future, you must not go against your conscience when killing people. "Lin Wentian continued.
