Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
From Qin Shujian's sudden attack to the opponent's calm retreat.
The entire process of the fight only took a few seconds.
Many players did not even have time to react before the dust settled.
Soon after, Sporting Instructor Zhang and the others looked at each other and retreated back into the village.
In the tailor shop.
Sporting Instructor Zhang and the others sat across from each other.
Apart from them, there was also an old man with a white beard.
When the three of them looked at the old man, their expressions revealed a trace of respect.
"I've heard that the Cold Mountain Stronghold is the most ferocious mountain bandit group in this area. Today, I've seen that the Cold Mountain Stronghold's Stronghold Master is indeed extraordinary. I'm afraid that his strength is even more powerful than the previous Stronghold Master." Sporting Instructor Zhang recalled that frightening blade strike and was still somewhat shocked.
Li Chun Hua shook her head and said, "You don't have to say that. Since this person was able to kill Wu Sheng, his strength must be greater than Wu Sheng's."
"Sigh. I originally thought that the death of Wu Sheng, the evil mountain bandit leader, would calm everyone down a bit. Who would have thought that the new Cold Mountain Stronghold Master would be even more ferocious than Wu Sheng.
If that's the case, it won't be easy for our village to calm down. "
Li Chun Hua's words caused the atmosphere to become heavy.
However, Zhu Daming's face was filled with indignation. "It's true that the Cold Mountain Stronghold's Stronghold Master is strong, but he's not much stronger than us. If Village Chief is willing to act, we can definitely capture that person."
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the old man.
This was the Village Chief of Novice Village 10021.
On the outside, he looked like a dying old man, but in reality, only Zhu Daming and the others knew that this was the true expert of Novice Village 10021.
The Village Chief slowly said, "From what I've seen, the Cold Mountain Stronghold's Stronghold Master has already reached the stage of full strength. At the very least, his cultivation has reached the fifth stage of the Martial Initiation Realm.
Now that he has the status of Cold Mountain Stronghold's Stronghold Master, his strength is comparable to an expert of the sixth stage of the Martial Initiation Realm.
If we don't make preparations and act rashly, there's no guarantee that we can capture him. "
Speaking to this point, the Village Chief paused for a bit before continuing.
"It's easy to let the tiger return to the mountain, but it's difficult to alert the snake. With the bandits' temperament, they will definitely not be satisfied with retreating this time. When they are prepared, there will definitely be a next time.
When the time comes, we'll make our preparations and catch them all in one fell swoop. "
"Hmph, it's too bad that we can't leave the village at will. Otherwise, we would have uprooted the Cold Mountain Stockade!" Zhu Daming snorted coldly.

On the other side, Qin Shujian had already left the range of Novice Village 10021.
As for why he left so decisively …
To be honest, it was very simple.
Because he couldn't win.
He had used almost all of his strength in that brief exchange of blows.
From Qin Shujian's point of view, the person who appeared first and the two who appeared later were at least experts of the fifth stage of the Basic Martial Realm or even the sixth stage of the Basic Martial Realm.
If he had to deal with one or two of them, he still had the confidence to win.
However, if he had to deal with three of them, Qin Shujian would have no way to deal with them.
Not to mention —
There might be other experts in the Novice Village.
In that case, if he continued to fight, other than putting himself in danger, there wouldn't be any other benefits.
"There are at least three experts of the fifth stage of the Basic Martial Realm. There might even be experts of the sixth stage of the Basic Martial Realm or even more. It won't be easy to deal with this Novice Village 10021."
After this round of probing, Qin Shujian had a rough idea of the situation.
With Cold Mountain Stockade's current strength, if they were to go against Novice Village 10021, the probability of their destruction would be even higher.
However, after thinking about it, Qin Shujian felt that it was reasonable.
After all, the Novice Village was the first barrier for players after they entered the game. It was also the most important barrier. It was a place to protect players from developing steadily.
According to Qin Shujian's estimation, the strength of each Novice Village might be different.
For example, in Cold Mountain Stockade, his strength was the strongest.
Therefore, the new Novice Village's strength would be based on his original foundation. It just so happened that Cold Mountain Stockade wouldn't be able to deal with the Novice Village.
However, this was only Qin Shujian's personal guess.
Whether this was the case or not, he still needed time to verify it.
Right now, the most important thing for him was to deal with the threat of the players.
According to Qin Shujian's original plan, he would first go and test the strength of the Beginner Village. If the Beginner Village's strength wasn't strong enough, then he would go back and bring a large group of Liang Mountain's bandits over and completely annihilate them.
Without the Novice Village, the players would be rootless duckweeds.
At that time, they would naturally be at his mercy.
However —
After this round of probing, the Novice Village's strength was too strong. Cold Mountain Stockade alone wouldn't be able to deal with it for the time being.
Therefore, Qin Shujian's original plan could only be changed.
At this time, he also looked at his own attributes.
Name: Qin Shujian
Identity: Cold Mountain Stockade Head
Affiliation: Cold Mountain Stockade
Realm: Sixth stage of the Basic Martial Realm (Inside Cold Mountain Stockade's territory, Realm + 1)
Cultivation Method: Body Forging Scripture Perfection (Power Flowing at Will) (Mortal Low Grade), Black Tiger Saber Technique (Greater Heights) (Mortal Middle Grade)
Life Source: 22
Equipment: Tiger-Head Saber, Tiger-Skin Armor Set (Tiger-Skin Overcoat, Tiger-Skin Trousers, Tiger-Skin Belt, Tiger-Skin Thick Boots)
His life source went from eight points at the beginning to twenty-two points at the moment.
Qin Shujian estimated that he had personally killed thirteen guards from the Novice Village.
And each guard contributed one point of life source.
But before he left, he had also casually killed another group of players.
Qin Shujian didn't remember exactly how many guards he had killed, but there should be at least eight or ten of them.
Twenty-six points of life source. Deducting the thirteen points from the guards and the eight points he originally had, the amount of life source he had from the players was only about one point.
"One point of life source …" Qin Shujian looked at his attribute panel and inwardly calculated.
There was definitely more than one player who had died at his hands.
But now, he only had one more point of life source.
Either the players were too weak, or the life source he obtained from killing players was different from the life source he obtained from killing NPCs.
However —
No matter which one it was.
Qin Shujian had now confirmed one important thing.
And that was that he could also obtain life source from killing players, even if the amount obtained was not as much as killing NPCs.
But one thing to know was that players could be resurrected.
This kind of life source could be said to be endless.
After knowing this, Qin Shujian's originally gloomy mood was now very good.
His original guess about whether or not he could obtain life source from killing players was now finally confirmed.
After that.
Qin Shujian didn't stop at all and directly returned to Cold Mountain Stockade.
