Seeing that Lin Xiu had unleashed such a ferocious attack so easily, the bandits at the side looked at each other in dismay. They were the weakest existences among the cultivators and were unable to fight against true experts. That was why they chose to become bandits and had never seen such a scene before. For a moment, they could not help but be fearful. If not for the scholar watching from the side, they would have already fled far away.
As for the ordinary villagers next to them, their eyes burst with excitement. In their opinion, with the help of a neighbor, they would definitely be able to get through this disaster smoothly. These Horse Gang would definitely not be able to bully them in the future. If Lin Xiu was a little more ruthless, he might be able to wipe out these Horse Gang directly. This was also considered to be helping the people and doing a great deed.
However, Lin Xiu did not have such a plan. He looked at these Horse Gang, although he was very contemptuous of their behavior. They relied on their strength to commit outrages and did not want to rely on their own hands to create wealth. They always thought of reaping without sowing. This kind of people was undoubtedly very disgusting to Lin Xiu.
At this time, although the scholar was also a little afraid, his leader had to bite the bullet and came to Lin Xiu. He squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, cupped his hands to Lin Xiu, and said, "Friend, I have eyes but did not recognize Mount Tai. I did not expect you to live in this village. Today, I will give you face. We will not collect the tax of Apricot Blossom Village this time. What do you think?"
This was not to say that the scholar was greedy, but because he knew that if he returned to the mountain this time, not only did he not bring back any harvest, but he also said that he had provoked a strong person. The big head would definitely be angry and might kill him directly, so he could only say that he would not collect the tax this time. If he waited until Lin Xiu left, they would come back again. After all, Apricot Blossom Village was a rich village with post offices in the surrounding villages. Relying on the superior brewing technology, the villagers lived a decent life.
Without waiting for Lin Xiu to speak, the village chief of Apricot Blossom Village walked out unsteadily with his walking stick, then tried to knock on the ground with a little anger on his face. He said to the scholar, "Yu Qian, you were a scholar in the neighboring village. Although you didn't have much knowledge, you were considered to have achieved scholarly honors. I didn't expect that you would collude with the Horse Gang. Do you know that not only the people in the surrounding villages but also the people in your village have been cursing you behind your back all these years? I don't know how you will have the face to go back to the village to see those parents and elders who watched you grow up?"
The words of the old village chief made the scholar look ugly and a little uncertain. And Lin Xiu, who was watching quietly, did not know that the scholar actually had inextricable ties with these villages. He just did not know how a scholar could let go of his pride and do robbing.
The scholar's face changed. If he knew the details of Lin Xiu, he would have already cut this old thing in front of him into pieces with the help of his group of people. He would not allow him to talk nonsense here. But at this moment, Lin Xiu was present. From the other party's trick just now, he knew that even the big head in the mountain was not necessarily the opponent of this person. So Yu Qian thought that it was better to pretend to compromise for the time being. When he returned to the mountain village, everything would be handed over to the big head to make a decision.
"I think it is not easy for you guys to come here. I can't let you go back empty-handed, right? How about this, don't you like robbing? Leave behind a left hand each. Otherwise, none of you can think of going back today. " Lin Xiu's indifferent words caused everyone's expression to change greatly. The horse bandits felt a chill in their hearts. The reason why they chose to be heroes of the underworld was to make their lives better, and not to become crippled. A fierce glint suddenly burst out in the eyes of the group of people. No matter how strong the person in front of them was, of course, they were brothers. If they swarmed up, they would be an extremely insufficient force.
These horse bandits were extremely ferocious and immediately caused some fear in the villagers at the side. The hands that were holding the farming tools in their hands also unknowingly began to tremble. They were farmers who faced the yellow soil with their backs to the sky. Every day, they only dealt with crops, or when they were free, they brewed some very delicious wine. When had they ever fought fiercely with real knives and spears?
But Lin Xiu's expression was still very cold. His brows were tightly knitted and he seemed to be a little impatient. At this moment, they finally couldn't hold it in anymore. With the scholar's order, they immediately swarmed over and surrounded Lin Xiu so tightly that not even a drop of water could escape.
However, what happened next made everyone's eyes widen. Lin Xiu did not seem to make any movements, but he gently waved his sleeve at these horse bandits. Suddenly, a large python that was as thick as three to four people appeared in the empty space beside him.
There was a hint of intelligence in the eyes of this large python. It kept swallowing its snake tongue and then raised its head high, as though it was extremely disdainful of these tiny humans below.
One must know that the Wind and Fire Pythons, through continuous evolution over the years, had now reached the strength of the universe realm, and the strength of the beasts was often stronger than that of humans. These horse bandits in front of them only had the strength of the Bone Tempering Realm. Just seeing such a huge beasts, their legs had long become weak. How could they still have the thought of resisting? They immediately dropped the weapons in their hands, turned over and mounted their horses, and turned into birds and beasts and scattered without looking back.
Even the villagers at the side were a little afraid at this moment. They lived in the inner regions of the empire, and this was an extremely remote place. Usually, they only dealt with some crops and had never seen a real demonic beast. As for some timid children, they all hid behind their parents at this moment, as if afraid that the demonic beast would turn its head and swallow them into its stomach in a fit of rage.
After all, the scholar was not a warrior. Seeing that his subordinates had already run far away, his face gradually became depressed. He knew that not to mention Lin Xiu, just these ordinary villagers alone were enough for him to fight. After sighing, he directly sat on the ground and seemed to have accepted his fate.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the village chief of Apricot Blossom Village suddenly came forward. Looking at this scholar who had always had a good reputation in the surrounding villages, the village chief shook his head helplessly, then said to him, "Yu Qian, no matter what kind of difficulties you have, from the moment you chose to be a horse bandit to deal with us, you no longer have any connection with all the villagers. But after all, we also watched you grow up, so we will let you go this time. You'd better get out of here quickly."
After seeing Lin Xiu agree, the village chief of Apricot Blossom Village smashed his robe fiercely, then he no longer looked at this young man.
It should be known that for the people in these ordinary villages, if there was a scholar who obtained scholarly honors, it would be a great blessing. However, it was precisely this scholar who was the pride of the nearby villages, who chose to give up when faced with a little bit of difficulty and danger. He became a bandit and spent all day giving advice and advice to those horse bandits who preyed on the villagers. This caused the surrounding villagers to gradually live in an abyss of suffering. The fact that the village chief did not directly order for him to be killed was already extremely benevolent of him.
The scholar's face was flushed, as if he had not expected this situation to happen. After a long time, he bowed deeply to the village chief, then his tone was very sincere.
"Uncle, this strong person is not someone that the village can keep. Once he really leaves, how will you face the horse bandits who have made a comeback? You must know that those horse bandits who stay in their lair are the real cruel and merciless people. They live a life of licking blood from the tip of a knife. For them, life is not as precious as you think, unlike these chickens and dogs that I brought before, they are the real desperadoes. "
It was at this moment that the scholar truly started to think for the villagers. Over the years, although he had brought wave after wave of horse bandits to collect offerings, he had never done anything to harm the villagers. Under his control, the horse bandits would usually take the money and leave. Unlike other people, when they brought people here, they would often harass the villagers. If they met a beautiful girl, they might even be defiled by them.
When Lin Xiu heard this, he shrugged his shoulders slightly, then said to the scholar in front of him, "Don't worry, I already know that your leader is just a little guy in the Harmonious Spirit realm. If it wasn't for my sloppy nature, he would be dead with just a thought. Go back and tell him, if he is willing to turn over a new leaf, he can join the army of your dynasty. If he can achieve something in the future, he will not be a disgrace to the martial arts that he has learned."
When the scholar heard Lin Xiu's casual words, his heart tightened. This overly young guy in front of him actually did not even put a Harmonious Spirit expert in his eyes. One must know that in a small city, as long as one reached the Harmonious Spirit realm, he would be regarded as an overlord. His leader had been besieged by the government many times, but he was still alive and well. This was enough to prove the strength of a Harmonious Spirit expert.
Knowing that Lin Xiu was much more powerful than he imagined, the scholar's heart finally relaxed. He also bowed to Lin Xiu, then he cupped his fists and said, "Young Master, then I will leave first. I will definitely pass on your words to my leader, but as for the decision, it is not something that I can make the decision on."
The scholar knew very well how hot-tempered their leader was. Relying on his Harmonious Spirit realm cultivation, he had always been unscrupulous and didn't even put the government officials in his eyes. If he heard that their group was scared off by an outrageously young guy, then he would certainly be furious. Maybe he would even personally bring his people to Apricot Blossom Village. He only hoped that this young man was really as powerful as he said. Only in this way, he could bring peace to the surrounding villages.
Turning over, the scholar began to gradually gallop in the direction of the horse bandits' lair. As for the joyful villagers of Apricot Blossom Village, they surrounded Lin Xiu.
That child king's eyes were shining with excitement at this moment. He ignored his parents' obstruction and came in front of Lin Xiu. He then looked up at the guy that he extorted a big carp from yesterday and said crisply, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful. See if I have the aptitude for cultivation. If I can, I will worship you as my master, okay? That way, I will have enough strength to protect our village and not be bullied by others."
It had to be said that every teenager had a wuxia dream in their hearts. They fantasized that one day they could become heroes who would draw their swords to help others when they saw injustice. They hoped that one day they could do good and rob the rich to help the poor. The little guy in front of them, although still young, was indeed more hot-blooded and impulsive than some adults in this aspect.
Lin Xiu just smiled helplessly, then touched the child king's head and said to him, "Cultivation is an extremely difficult thing, I don't know if you can persevere."
When the child heard this, he suddenly became alert. He was extremely intelligent, how could he not understand the meaning behind Lin Xiu's words? He hurriedly nodded his head excitedly and said to Lin Xiu loudly, "Don't worry, I can endure any kind of hardship. In the future, I will definitely become stronger than you."
Lin Xiu turned his head and looked at the villagers around him and smiled at them.
"Everyone, don't worry, if the leader of the bandits really dares to come, he definitely won't be able to predict anything. Moreover, I also really want to see a Harmonious Spirit cultivator actually bullying ordinary people, it is really interesting."
After hearing Lin Xiu's words, these villagers revealed very simple smiles on their faces. To them, being able to live in peace was already a very blissful thing. As for the child's parents, at this moment, they had already pulled him behind them. At this moment, they already knew that Lin Xiu was strong and did not dare to treat him lightly like before.
The village chief leaned on his walking stick, his face was also full of ruddiness. For so many years, everyone had been bullied by the bandits. Today, they could finally hold their heads up high, causing him to feel a burst of joy in his heart.
"Tonight, our village must have a good celebration. This guest from afar has solved such a huge problem for us, everyone must thank him properly." The Village Chief said loudly to the crowd with a flushed face. Immediately, a wave of agreement rose from the crowd.
The group finally dispersed and began to prepare for the evening celebration, but Lin Xiu still stayed at the village entrance, quietly staring into the distance in a daze. The child king came in front of Lin Xiu, followed his posture, placed his chin on his knees, then said innocently, "You are already so strong, why do you still look so unhappy?"
The child\'s world was very simple. As long as no one could forget them and they could protect their family, it was already a great thing. So he really couldn\'t figure out why Lin Xiu seemed to be so depressed.
