Outside the carriage, over a hundred fierce-looking bandits had already surrounded it. The dozen or so subordinates of Chu Xiu all had looks of fear and despair on their faces.
They were all ordinary servants of the Chu Clan. They knew some martial arts and had barely reached the Body Tempering realm. It was already difficult for them to face these experienced bandits alone, let alone over a hundred of them.
Chu Xiu alighted from the carriage and said calmly, "If you gentlemen want to rob me, I still have a few thousand taels of silver here. If you want it, feel free to take it. As for the rest, you've seen it for yourself. I'm not a merchant caravan, and I don't have anything good here."
The leader of the bandits was a huge man with disheveled hair. He held a sinister-looking Golden Tiger Head Saber in his hand. The broad saber was dragged on the ground, and the bronze tiger head engraved on the hilt was stained with blood. It was clear that this saber had been stained with a lot of blood.
"A few thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, but it's a pity that your life is worth more than that. Brat, tell me, how do you want to die?"
Chu Xiu looked at the bandit leader and said calmly, "It's all about buying one's life with money. Since someone wants to buy my life, I can naturally buy my own life with money. You know who I am. If you step aside now, you can ask for as much money as you want in the future. "
The bandit leader dragged his saber over and laughed, "Everyone says that the Chu Clan's second son is a good-for-nothing, but it seems like he's quite courageous. It's a pity that you're too late. Even though I am a bandit, I'm still a man of my word. You can go on your way in peace!"
Chu Xiu shook his head and sighed, "It's all money anyway. Since I can't buy my own life, I can only buy yours!"
The bandit leader's face darkened, but before he could say anything, Chu Xiu charged at him at high speed, as if he was going to capture the leader first.
"You're courting death!"
The bandit leader's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He slashed out with the Golden Tiger Head Saber in his hand. The saber's momentum was overbearing, and the wind howled furiously!
He was a martial artist from an unorthodox background. He had only learned some superficial external techniques to train his muscles and bones. He did not even know any proper saber techniques.
However, he was born with great strength. A heavy weapon like the Tiger Head Seizing the Golden Saber was like a toy to him. With a sweep of the saber, even if someone was wearing armor, they would still be cut in half.
Although they were both in the Body Tempering Realm, the gap between martial artists of the same rank was still quite big.
Previously, that Li Tong was also in the Body Tempering Realm, and he was even a collateral relative of the Li Clan. He also cultivated the Li Clan's internal energy, but in the end, his combat experience was very weak.
On the other hand, this bandit leader didn't have the slightest bit of internal energy on him, but his attacks were decisive and ruthless. If Li Tong were to fight with him, it was very likely that he would be chopped off with a single slash.
However, Chu Xiu was not Li Tong. In the face of this powerful and heavy blade, Chu Xiu was incomparably calm. His strength was inferior to this bandit leader. In the face of that powerful and heavy Tiger Head Seizing Golden Blade, he might not even be able to block a single blade.
Therefore, when the broadsword chopped toward him, he suddenly stopped. The Genuine Qi of the Xiantian Skill flowed in his body. Although there was only a thin trace of it, it was better than nothing. At least, Chu Xiu had only practiced for a few days, but the total amount of his Genuine Qi was greater than that of the Vast Sea Cultivation Method that he had practiced for several years.
With a punch, Chu Xiu's fist landed on the broad blade, causing the Tiger Head Snatch Golden Saber to tilt slightly, narrowly missing Chu Xiu.
The bandit leader's eyes revealed a touch of astonishment. It seemed that he didn't expect that this good-for-nothing Young Master would actually be able to dodge his blade.
However, the bandit leader directly exerted force on his wrist, changing the slash into a sweep, chopping toward Chu Xiu's waist. However, Chu Xiu took the opportunity to roll, and although he seemed to be in a sorry state, he was still able to dodge the sweep.
Moreover, although the bandit leader attacked fiercely, and Chu Xiu also dodged in an incomparably sorry state, in fact, Chu Xiu didn't suffer too much damage.
After a dozen consecutive moves, the bandit leader was already somewhat anxious. It wasn't that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to kill Chu Xiu, but rather that he wouldn't be able to keep his face.
In the face of so many of his subordinates, the result was that he couldn't even deal with a good-for-nothing Young Master. Didn't this make him look even more useless than a good-for-nothing?
His heart was in a mess, and the movements of his hands were somewhat messed up. He was completely attacking crazily, and had already given up on his own defense.
At this moment, a glimmer of light appeared in Chu Xiu's eyes. After dodging a blade, his figure directly lowered, and he suddenly got close to the bandit leader. A flash of silver light shone from his sleeve, and directly slashed toward the bandit leader's neck!
The swift blade was unsheathed, Azure Dragon in the Sleeve!
The bandit leader could be considered a veteran of hundreds of battles. The moment he saw the silver blade light, he instantly felt his scalp go numb, and an extremely strong sense of danger came over him. He forcefully twisted his body, and retreated, avoiding this sure-kill blade.
However, who would have thought that Chu Xiu's blade momentum would change, twisting like a swimming dragon and slashing down. The blade slashed down on the bandit leader's shoulder, and almost chopped off one of his arms!
The bandit leader covered his bleeding arm and retreated. His eyes revealed a look of horror. If he hadn't dodged that blade fast enough, just that blade would have taken his life!
Chu Xiu held the short blade in his hand and stood still. He didn't feel anything. The time he had obtained the Azure Dragon in the Sleeve was too short, and he lacked practice. If he had a few more days to familiarize himself with it, then the bandit leader definitely wouldn't have been able to dodge his blade.
The bandit leader's eyes revealed a touch of ferocity, and he said, "Kill! Let's go together and kill all of them for me! "
As soon as the word "kill" came out, a shout of "kill" was already heard. However, it wasn't from the bandit leader's side, but another group of people.
There were only a few dozen people in that group, and their numbers were only half of the bandit leader's. However, each of their attacks were extremely ruthless, and they cut down a group of people.
One of them, a man in his thirties, was their leader. His face was sallow, and although he wasn't short, he was very skinny. However, he was dragging a heavy sword in his hand, which didn't match his body shape at all.
At this time, Gao Bei came out of nowhere and came to Chu Xiu's side. He said cautiously, "Young Master, I'm not late, am I?"
Chu Xiu stared at the battlefield and said casually, "Not bad, just in time."
Although Chu Xiu had just started on the path of martial arts, he was, after all, from a martial arts family. He was more knowledgeable than some of the unorthodox martial artists. Chu Xiu could tell from the yellow-faced man's footsteps that this person was definitely different from the unorthodox bandit leader. This person was definitely a martial artist with an authentic martial arts heritage!
At this time, when the bandit leader saw this scene, he couldn't help but shout angrily, "Ma Kuo! What the f * ck do you want? "
Ma Kuo grinned coldly and said, "What do I want? Of course I want to f * ck you! Third Brother Lian, it's not the first time that you've stolen my business because you're a veteran in Shang Mang Mountain. This time, I'll send you to hell! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Kuo's giant sword came crashing down. From the steps, to dragging the sword, to lifting the sword, to the slash, each of these movements exerted his strength to the extreme.
It was just an ordinary vertical slash, but he was able to exert 30% of his strength. He was much stronger than the unorthodox bandit leader.
As the sword fell, the bandit leader couldn't hold his sword with both hands because his shoulder was injured by Chu Xiu. The Tiger Head Snatch Golden Sword was sent flying. He wanted to escape, but Ma Kuo was extremely agile. He caught up with the bandit leader and cut him in half at the waist.
Ma Kuo shook off the blood on his sword and turned back to smile at Chu Xiu. Gao Bei, who was standing beside him, was already frightened by the scene of Ma Kuo cutting the bandit leader in half. Seeing this smile, he immediately shivered.
Chu Xiu just cupped his hands at Ma Kuo and said, "Thank you for your help this time, hero."
Ma Kuo walked over with his heavy sword and grinned. "Kid, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"
Chu Xiu spread out his hands and said, "Chief Ma, you should know who I am. You've seen the conditions I promised you. If you kill me, you'll get a few thousand taels of silver at most. But if you don't kill me, you'll get all kinds of refined ores. At least, you'll be able to get your subordinates to trade for all the scrap metal."
Yue 'er had encouraged Chu Xiu to go to Yuanbao Town. From that moment, Chu Xiu could guess that his second mother was ruthless enough. Even a bastard like him, who had almost no chance of inheriting the position of the clan head, was merciless. It was most likely that she didn't want him to return to the Chu clan.
That was why Chu Xiu had asked Gao Bei to make a trip to Shang Xiao Mountain. If his second mother could spend money to get the bandits to kill him, then Chu Xiu could get the bandits to protect him. After all, it was a transaction that required money.
However, Chu Xiu didn't have much silver on him, so he promised the bandits some refined ores. These were the special products of the Chu clan in the Nanshan mining area. They were also the only power that Chu Xiu had right now.
Ma Kuo asked suspiciously, "Are you sure you're not lying to me? As far as I know, the refined ores that your Chu clan mined are all limited. Are you really willing to give them to me? "
As a bandit, he naturally needed equipment. He didn't lack weapons, but he only had swords forged by ordinary blacksmiths. The refined ores produced by the Chu clan's Nanshan Mine were the true treasures, and were used to forge sharp blades.
Ma Kuo had made his move this time, not only because the people who came to kill Chu Xiu were his old enemies, but also because Chu Xiu's offer was very tempting.
Chu Xiu said calmly, "Chief Ma, you should know why these people came to kill me today. There are people in the Chu clan who want me dead. Why would I care about the Chu clan's resources?"
As he spoke, Chu Xiu took out a piece of paper and handed it to Ma Kuo. "This is my warrant. Send someone to the Nanshan mining area with it, and you can get a batch of refined ores at a low price. Of course, you have to be fast. I'm still in charge of the Nanshan mining area now, but I don't know when I will be."
After getting the document, Ma Kuo nodded in satisfaction. "You big clans always do a lot of bullsh * t. But you're very straightforward. If you have something like this in the future, you can always come to me. Anyway, I'm still in charge of the Nanshan mining area, but I don't know when I'll be the one in charge."
After saying this, Ma Kuo dragged his giant sword and called back the people who were still chasing after the bandits. Then he left.
Chu Xiu looked at Ma Kuo's back and pondered. Qi Lian? Bandits? Bandits who had inherited martial arts?
A moment later, Chu Xiu suddenly thought of something. He seemed to have figured out the identity of the other party. That brat Gao Bei's luck was pretty good. He had asked him to randomly invite a bunch of bandits, and he actually managed to invite someone with a strong background.
After Ma Kuo and the others left, Chu Xiu turned his attention to the carriage. A creepy smile appeared on his face.
