This was a small oasis.
In this desolate and silent desert, even if it was only a small lake, it still brought about vigorous vitality.
The green grass, the dense jujube forest, and the occasional gerbil that shuttled back and forth caused this dead land to show some vitality.
"Rustle …"
A burst of horse neighing sounded. At the small lake, a group of valiant men and horses were resting.
This was a group of burly men. They were all equipped with three horses. Their pouches were bulging, filled with dry rations and long arrows. On both sides of the horses' backs, there were sabers, long swords, strong bows, hard crossbows, and other weapons.
The leader was a man with green eyes and a yellow beard.
This man had a murderous look. In his green eyes, there seemed to be a vicious light like that of a hungry wolf, as if he was ready to bite the enemy in front of him at any time.
This was a group of mounted gangsters!
In the vast sea, this kind of group was basically all mounted gangsters.
"Mounted gangsters are indeed ferocious and … inhumane!"
In the jujube forest behind the small lake, a figure shrouded in a grey-yellow cloak raised his eyes to look at the group of mounted gangsters and frowned tightly.
Looking from this direction, besides the mounted gangsters, he could also see a few corpses.
On the ground beside the small lake, there were three corpses lying on the ground.
These three corpses were two men and one woman. At first glance, he could tell that they were the herdsmen of the tribe who lived near this small lake. Obviously, they had been killed by the mounted gangsters.
"So, I can kill with a clear conscience."
The figure shrouded in a cloak suddenly stood up and stepped out of the jujube forest.
"Who's there?"
Seeing a figure suddenly emerge from the jujube forest, the mounted gangsters were shocked. They grabbed their weapons and stood up angrily.
"The person who wants your life!"
A grayish-yellow cloak was rolled up with a "swish" sound. A youth dressed in white with a grave and stern face leaped up. The long sword at his waist was unsheathed, emitting bits of cold sparks as he rushed towards the mounted gangsters.
"A little bastard in the Qi Nurturing stage?"
The leader of the mounted gangsters with green eyes and yellow beard raised his head to look at the youth in white. He snorted and waved his hand to the mounted gangsters. "Don't dawdle. Quickly get rid of him!"
"No problem, boss!"
The mounted bandits laughed heartily as they raised their long sabers and surrounded him ferociously.
"Little brat, come out after you've mastered your skills in your next life!"
The snow-white, four-foot-long saber slashed through the air. The shrill sound of tearing through the air was enough to make one's teeth ache. The ice-cold murderous intent seemed to freeze one's soul.
These bandits were not ordinary people.
Even the weakest of them had already reached Large Success in Qi Cultivation and was about to open their acupoints.
In front of such a group of horse bandits, the white clothed youth's initial Qi Cultivation cultivation was nothing.
In the eyes of the mounted gangsters, this little brat could be killed with a single slash.
However … things went beyond their expectations.
"Pu!"
Just as the gleaming long blade was about to strike down, the long sword in the youth's hand moved slightly and appeared right in front of the horse bandit's neck.
Therefore, with a slash of the saber, the horse bandit, who had shifted his center of gravity forward, bumped into the blade of the sword and pierced through his throat.
"Hmm?"
This situation was out of their expectations. The other mounted gangsters were stunned for a moment before they became furious.
"Kill him!"
A few mounted gangsters surrounded the young man and chopped down with their long sabers.
"Puff! Puff! Puff! "
The long sword vibrated as it found the fastest and most direct path in the sky. It pierced through the gaps between the sabers and slashed across the necks of several mounted gangsters.
Fresh blood spurted out as the corpses fell to the ground.
In an instant, the group of mounted gangsters had fallen under the youth's sword.
The only one left was the leader of the mounted gangsters with blue eyes and yellow beard.
"Hmm?"
The leader of the mounted gangsters gripped his long saber with a grave expression as he looked at the white clothed youth with eyes full of shock.
A youth who had only reached Small Success in Qi Cultivation had actually killed more than ten people who were stronger than him in the blink of an eye. This was simply unbelievable!
Could this youth be a disciple of some large Sect?
For example, the Sword of Snow Mountain Sect loved to do such chivalrous acts.
"You … who are you?"
The leader of the mounted gangsters stood upright with his saber in hand, but his heart was filled with anxiety.
If this youth was really a disciple of the Sword of Snow Mountain Sect, he could not afford to offend such a person.
"Someone who wants your life!"
The youth's stern face was expressionless. The long sword in his hand emitted a cold light as it pierced through the air like lightning.
"Want my life? That will depend on how capable you are! "
Since he had already made his move, the mounted gangsters did not care about his background.
The long saber was like snow, chilling to the bone. The leader of the mounted gangsters roared as he swung his saber down with a ferocious glint in his green eyes.
As he swung his saber, an icy chill pervaded the air, causing one to feel as though they had fallen into an ice cellar.
The bone-chilling coldness seemed to even freeze one's blood vessels!
This was the famous skill of the mounted gangsters, "Frozen Slash"!
With his eyes and ears opened and four acupoints opened, the leader of the mounted gangsters was also a powerful figure in this area.
This "Frozen Slash" was also a unique skill of the enlightenment period.
As he swung his saber, the icy chill would invade one's mind, causing one's body to unconsciously become sluggish and slow down. As a result, one would die under his saber.
"Mind interference?"
Feeling the icy chill, the youth was slightly surprised. However, the long sword in his hand became even faster, as fast as lightning.
"Lightning Strikes Before Covering Ears!"
The sword pierced out like a shooting star, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky. It was sudden and unstoppable.
With a "puff", the long sword pierced through the leader's throat.
"Keke …"
The mounted gangster leader's face was filled with disbelief. He could not believe that he had died just like that. That he had died under a casual strike from someone else.
He had the ability to open four acupoints. How could he be killed by a brat at the initial stage of Qi Cultivation with a casual strike?
How could such a thing happen? How could such a thing happen?
He was simply … dying with a grievance!
"For me to personally kill you, this is a blessing that you would not be able to cultivate for several lifetimes!"
The youth in white revealed a smile on his cold face. "A mounted gangster leader who has opened four acupoints should have something like a martial arts manual?"
He turned his head and glanced at the corpse of the mounted gangster leader. With a flick of his long sword, he took the mounted gangster leader's waist pouch.
"Ice Soul Saber Scripture."
He opened the pouch and found a manual inside. He casually flipped through it and found that this manual was a saber skill of the enlightenment period. It was just right for him.
"Not bad, I have already obtained the basic martial arts manual for my new disguise."
With just a glance, he understood all the contents of this secret manual. By extension, it was a peerless Godly Skill.
At Li Yu's level, all martial arts, swordsmanship, and supernatural powers were essentially the same.
Whether it was saber skills or swordsmanship, they were all the same.
The concept of "Ice Soul Saber Scripture" becoming "Ice Soul Saber Scripture" did not exist.
"The saber in the mounted gangster leader's hand is not bad."
He reached out and the mounted gangster leader's four feet long saber fell into his hand. The long saber was narrow and sharp. It was bone-chilling. It was a Refined Weapon.
The weapons in this world started from ordinary weapons. There were also Refined Weapons, Precious Weapons, and Divine Weapons.
Refined Weapons were treasures that could not be bought with money in the enlightenment period.
"It's a good opportunity to upgrade that ordinary sword."
With a swipe of his hand, the Refined Weapon long saber instantly disintegrated into a cold light and merged into the long sword at his waist.
"Clang!"
With the sound of the sword, the long sword at his waist emitted a cold light and was officially upgraded to a Refined Weapon.
"Now that I have the novice equipment and novice skills, it's time to go out of the novice village and kill monsters!"
The youth "Bai Ze" flipped over and mounted the horse of the mounted gangster leader. He spurred the horse and galloped into the Jianghu!
