This was a spoil of war that Wu Ming had obtained from Marquis Ding's guest Spiritual Master.
Since ancient times, the Nightmare Technique was used to counter one's luck. Even though Li Zongyi was a Thousand Households of the Anomaly News Division and was comparable to a grade 7 official, he was not spared.
Moreover, this person was not a Reincarnator or a person with authority, so he would not attract any attention. He was a perfect target and test subject.
"It's just that a Thousand Households of the Anomaly News Division suddenly died … my relationship with Xie Ling 'er has not reached such a level. Fine, I'll let you be sick for several years with a splitting headache. You won't be able to stir up any trouble then, right? "
Wu Ming thought for a moment and lowered his head. Light flashed in his hand and a small wooden figure appeared.
With a wave of his hand, an aura in the study was drawn out and condensed into a human figure. Its face was 80% similar to Li Zongyi's.
If it was Zhou Yuan, even if he was a Perfected One, he would have to carefully inquire about Li Zongyi's birth date and eight characters, collect blood and hair, and take the risk to refine such an item. But for Wu Ming, everything was natural.
"Hu!"
He blew at the illusory human figure and it immediately attached itself to the wooden figure. Its eagle eyes were like a wolf's and it was about to roar.
"Hehe … what a powerful official aura!"
Wu Ming sneered and flicked the wooden figure's head with his fingernail!
Puchi!
A crack instantly appeared, revealing the wood veins within. The little person's expression turned to one of fear and pain.
"Ah!"
At the same time, in another room, Li Zongyi, who had just climbed onto the bed, screamed and climbed up. He clutched his head with both hands, his face twisted.
"Husband?"
His wife was immediately alarmed. She looked at the twisted muscles on Li Zongyi's face and could not help but worry. "Are you not feeling well? I'll go find a doctor immediately! "
"I … I have a splitting headache!"
Li Zongyi gritted his teeth. "Someone must have done something to harm me! Go quickly … ah … it's killing me! "
Before he could finish his sentence, he screamed and fainted. His wife's mournful screams immediately caused a commotion in the entire residence.
"Oh? It must be acting up! "
Wu Ming listened to the hustle and bustle and nodded slightly. With a flash of clear light in his hand, he pressed the wooden puppet onto a redwood beam in the study!
Gulp!
A ripple appeared on the surface of the mahogany, and the little person actually melted into the mahogany. Like water and milk, there was not a single trace on the outside.
The Invincible Weapon naturally needed to be close to the victim in order to slowly take effect.
Wu Ming turned around and left after he was done with these matters. He seemed to be hiding his achievements and fame.
"Only a Level Five Earth Deity would be able to break my Art of Parting Victory … Given Li Zongyi's connections, there's no way he would be able to invite someone of that level to help him.
"Even if it's a coincidence that he wasn't fated to die and managed to find a treasure to save his life, he still can't do anything to me …"
Normally, the Subduing Technique was closely related to the user. Once it was broken, the Subduing Technique would immediately backfire, and the user would most likely die!
However, Wu Ming had already cultivated the Triumphant Nightmare Suppression Art to the point that it was invisible and intangible. He could borrow objects to shed his form, and it was a natural creation. Even if the curse was broken, he would not be affected at all.
At this point, the technique was already close to the Dao!
…
Ye Province was adjacent to Dingzhou. There were eight counties, and it was a land of outstanding people. There was a mountain named 'Shi', and the residents mostly washed silk for a living. The women of Shi were affectionate and gentle, and they were famous throughout the province, pursued by countless men.
However, it was the end of the Dazhou Era. Bandits ran amok, and the power of the provincial governor and the refugee army was intertwined. Battles were fought continuously, and the provincial governor and provincial governor were forced to abandon their positions and flee! The people had no way to live!
Until now, in the entire Ye Province, there were only two military towns that were entangled with the locust-like refugee army, and they were exhausted from running for their lives.
And in the gaps between these big forces, there were even more mountain bandits and road bandits. As there were many mountains in the Ye Province, and the order was chaotic at this time, there were really mountains in great numbers. The small bandits numbered in the hundreds, and the big ones numbered in the thousands. They gathered together, and for a moment, even the provincial governor and the provincial governor had to appease them.
Near Mount Shi, there was a group of fierce bandits. The leader was called 'Hei Tianfeng', and he had thousands of fierce bandits under him. He even robbed the horse caravan, and formed a cavalry of hundreds. They came and went like the wind, and were highly valued by the provincial governor and the rebel army. They were roped in many times.
…
Ah Xia was a peasant girl who had lived at the foot of Mount Shi for generations. At this time, she was carrying a load of firewood on her back. Her slightly dusty face was full of sweat, and the sweat flowed down to her fair neck, rendering a greyish black stain.
"With these, I think tonight will be better, right?"
Ah Xia exhaled hot air, and thought in a daze.
According to her father, decades ago, before the world was in chaos, the life in her village was quite good.
With the reputation of Shi Nu, and the white gauze that was as thin as cicada wings, as light as nothing, it was enough to exchange for a year's worth of corn and salt.
Even a few years ago, families relied on selling women to survive.
Ah Xia still remembered that she had an elder sister, who was bought by a rich merchant in silk and satins with snow-white silver. It was said that she was going to be sent to a rich family, where she could eat and wear warm clothes every day.
She had many sisters in her family, and this was a way to survive! If it weren't for the fact that she was too young at that time, she might have been taken away.
However, all of this changed after the arrival of that group of Hei Tianfeng.
"Ah Xia, you're back!"
An hour later, a village built around the water appeared in front of Ah Xia. The passersby greeted her loudly with a warm smile on their faces.
"Ah Xia is really capable … haha … it would be great if my three daughters could grow up to be like you!"
An old man leaned against the doorframe of his house, and stretched his body facing the sun. His crisscrossed eyes were filled with tears.
Peace and tranquility. Although she didn't have enough to eat recently, Ah Xia was still very satisfied with her current life.
"As long as the plague of horse bandits doesn't come a few times …"
Ah Xia bit her lip, and thought silently.
"Hei … Hei Tianfeng!!!"
However, it seemed that things didn't go as she wished. Just as she finished this thought, a shrill scream pierced through the sky.
"Dang dang!"
Accompanied by the fierce sound of gongs and drums, the whole village was alarmed. Men, women, old and young all grabbed things like carrying poles and hoes, and even long spears made of bamboo poles, and went to the village entrance to confront the roaring horse bandits.
"Haha … Greetings, fellow villagers. I'm here again!"
Like the wind, he arrived at the entrance of the village. The front hooves of the black horse dug the soil, and thick white gas came out of its nostrils, like a ferocious beast choosing its prey.
The horseman on the horse had excellent horsemanship. At this time, he smiled and said, "It's still the same old rules. Give me one stone of grain, five bolts of cloth, and three women, and I'll leave immediately without any objections. Otherwise … hehe …"
"Third Master …"
Amidst the howling of the villagers, an old man wearing a green linen gown walked out, with a bitter expression on his face. "You came a few months ago. The village really doesn't have much grain left. Please be magnanimous!"
"Old Man Li, you also know the rules … if there isn't enough grain and cloth, you can use people … If it's still not enough, we can only raid the village …"
The Third Master smiled coldly.
In fact, if this was in the past, most of it would be a threat. After all, only by keeping the village, they could come and harvest from time to time like planting crops. If they wantonly raided the village, what would happen next year?
Of course, this reason wasn't thought of by the Third Master, but by the First Master, Hei Tianfeng.
He had always respected this big brother the most. Since big brother said so, then there must be a reason.
'… If it wasn't for the impending war and big brother saying that we need to expand, we also wouldn't want to do this … But if we don't rob these, what will the brothers eat? Where will the women come from? Fighting and daily consumption are two completely different things! '
The Third Master thought to himself, 'If big brother succeeds, by next year, we won't be horse bandits anymore, but old masters with official positions!'
Since they had already decided to go strong, this last fat sheep naturally had to take a bite out of it, even if it was bitten to death!
Clang!
The horse bandits behind laughed and even pulled out their long swords. The swords were mottled with blood, some of which had not dried yet.
Looking at the blood-stained long swords in the horseman's hands, the mottled coarse cloth behind, and the scattered donkey carts and grain bags on the carts, Old Man Li felt a chill in his heart. His lips moved, but he still called out, "Hu Zi, open the cellar!"
"These are our seeds for spring!"
The honest young man named Hu Zi panicked, but was immediately slapped by Old Man Li. "Go quickly!"
Old Man Li turned around, and there was cold air between his teeth. "And the women in cloth … Everyone … Let's go!"
His eyes were already fixed on Ah Xia and a few other young women.
Knowing that they could not hand over all the grain and cloth, they could only hand over a few more women. This was the tragedy of troubled times!
"No! No! "
Ah Xia kept retreating when she thought about being robbed into the bandits' lair. Looking at the familiar faces, she felt that they were so unfamiliar.
"Alright! Hurry up! "
A rough voice came from the horse team, with a hint of anxiety, but the Third Master did not dare to neglect it. He nodded repeatedly. "Yes! Big brother! "
"Even Hei Tianfeng is here?"
Old Man Li was shocked, but there was nothing he could do.
In an instant, the sound of women crying could be heard.
Ah Xia struggled with all her might, but was pushed away by a firm and resistant palm. She arrived at the village entrance with a pile of grain and a few pieces of cloth, ready to hand them over to the horse team.
"Thank you … Haha!"
The Third Master laughed, and was about to whistle and leave when a soft voice came.
"I didn't expect Hei Tianfeng to be this kind of trash. He's a disgrace to us!!"
"Hmm, who is it?"
The Third Master squinted his eyes, and a ferocious glint swept across. No one dared to look him in the eye.
Bang!
Suddenly, there was an earthquake. The soil in the middle of the horse team broke open, and countless gravel flew everywhere.
The horse team was shocked, and scattered in all directions. No matter how the bandits shouted, it was useless.
Creak! Creak!
The sound of metal clashing was heard. A huge black shadow rushed out, and two sharp claws a few feet long swept across.
Whoosh!
Blood flashed, and a few fine horses were immediately dismembered. The horse bandits on them were thrown to the ground, and their bones were broken. They screamed in pain, and the unluckier ones were cut in half, and died.
"Roar roar!"
After the dust settled, the dispirited horse bandits finally saw that the black shadow was a huge steel monster. Its lantern-like eyes stared straight at their leader!
