Harry smiled. "It's already not bad. You dug it out very neatly. The weather is good today, and in a few days, I'll plant some vegetable seeds. It should be able to grow pretty good vegetables. Come, I'll bring you back to the village. "
Dumby expressed his thanks and turned his head to look at Phoenix Slayer. He said, "Uncle, I still have a companion."
Harry was startled. Only now did he notice Phoenix Slayer, who was standing not too far away. How could he have seen such a beautiful woman in such a small place? He couldn't help but stare at her.
Dumb said, "Uncle Harry, this is my companion, Phoenix Slayer." As he spoke, he shot Phoenix Slayer a glance.
Phoenix Slayer walked to Dumb's side. His ice-cold face didn't have the slightest trace of elegance as he indifferently said, "Hello."
Even though Phoenix Slayer seemed very rude, the power of a beautiful woman was extraordinary. Harry muttered, "Hello, young lady. I've lived for almost 50 years, and this is the first time I've seen such a beautiful young lady. What a feast for the eyes! Please, I'll bring you home. "As he spoke, he walked into the village, not daring to look at Phoenix Slayer again.
Dumb's heart stirred, and he suddenly had a strange thought. What would Harry's reaction be if he saw Xuanyue, who was even more beautiful than Phoenix Slayer?
Under Harry's guidance, Dumb and Phoenix Slayer entered the village. Most of the villagers had gone to do farm work, and the village was very quiet. All of the houses were made of wood, and they looked very simple.
Harry's house was a small courtyard with four or five rooms. Even though the layout of the rooms was very simple, they were very clean. It gave off a very refreshing feeling. Chilies and corn were being dried in the courtyard. These should be their daily food.
"You guys take a seat first. My wife and children have gone out to work, and they'll be back in a while. I'll get you some water. "After saying this, he turned around and left. Only Phoenix Slayer and Dumb were left in the room. Phoenix Slayer's gaze suddenly became much gentler, and he said to Dumb, "You looked very comfortable working just now."
Dumb was startled, and he said, "Comfortable? I feel very comfortable too. If I can live in this small village for the rest of my life, it'll be a good thing. "
Phoenix Slayer's expression became ice-cold again, and he indifferently said, "That's impossible for you. Your life is now mine. "
Dumb closed his eyes and said, "No, it's not yours yet. Only when the Assassin Guild disappears from the continent will you have the authority to collect it. "The two of them returned to normal, and the wooden house fell into silence.
After a while, Harry returned with a pot of tea. He smiled faintly and said, "Come, have a taste of our mountain tea. It tastes pretty good."
Both Dumb and Phoenix Slayer felt as if they had transcended the world as they drank the tea from the mountains. As the sun set, Harry and his family returned home. Harry had two sons and a daughter. His eldest daughter was already married and did not come home on normal days. His two sons were a few years younger than Dumb, and they were not married yet. When they saw Phoenix Slayer, their expressions were strangely similar to Harry's. In fact, they were even more unsightly. They were practically drooling.
Phoenix Slayer looked at the two youths in front of him, and said somewhat impatiently, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman before?"
The two youths said in unison, "That's right! We have never seen such a beautiful woman like you before. "
Phoenix Slayer stood up from his chair, and Dumb could clearly feel the killing intent coming from her body. He quickly stood in front of Harry's two sons and transmitted his voice, "What are you doing?"
Phoenix Slayer coldly snorted and tore off a piece of cloth from his shirt, concealing his appearance. "If you continue to stare at me, don't blame me for being impolite."
Harry's two sons were very down-to-earth, and when they saw Phoenix Slayer's cold gaze, they became so nervous that they couldn't say anything. Harry coughed and said, "You two must be tired after working all day. Go and rest. I will call you when it's time to eat. "The two down-to-earth youths felt as if they had just been granted amnesty, and they hurriedly ran out of the room.
Harry said to Phoenix Slayer, "Young miss, don't be angry. Your appearance is simply too beautiful, and I'm afraid none of the villagers here will be able to resist your temptation. I will go and help my wife cook. "After saying this, he turned around and left the room. Dumb could see that Harry was somewhat dissatisfied with Phoenix Slayer. However, Dumb needed Phoenix Slayer's help, so he couldn't blame her too much. He coldly snorted and closed his eyes.
During the meal, because Phoenix Slayer was wearing a veil, Harry and his son weren't as enticing. She casually ate a little and returned to the room that Harry had arranged for her to rest.
After seeing Phoenix Slayer leave, Harry whispered to Dumb, "Little brother, who is this ice beauty to you? Is she the daughter of a noble who has fallen into misfortune? Why is she so hot-tempered? What is your relationship with her? Although she is very beautiful, if you marry her, you will suffer for the rest of your life! "After saying this, he mischievously laughed.
Dumb's face turned red, and he said, "No, we are just ordinary friends. Please don't misunderstand. She isn't a noble young miss, and she is just a little hot-tempered. " Since he hadn't had a good meal in a long time, even though Harry's family could only provide some ordinary and coarse food, Dumb still enjoyed it. At first, Harry thought that he and Phoenix Slayer were husband and wife, so he had only arranged a single room for them. However, after hearing Dumb's explanation, he found out that their relationship wasn't that close. However, Harry's family only had one empty room. Helpless, Dumb could only be arranged to sleep in the woodshed. Although the woodshed was simple and crude, the simple Harry was still very considerate towards Dumb. The floor was covered with thick straw, and a mattress was laid on top of it. It was soft and very comfortable to lie on. Dumb didn't have high expectations for the quality of his life, and he was already very grateful to Harry for having a place to sleep.
It was already late at night, and Dumb woke up from his meditation. Since he was always on guard against Phoenix Slayer, he didn't dare to meditate for too long. After several hours of adjusting his breathing, Dumb relied on the powerful life force of his Life True Qi to recover his strength. He laid down on the straw bed, and his entire body was in a relaxed state.
It had been a long time since Dumb had laid down so comfortably. Once he calmed down, many things appeared in his mind. Xuanyue's beautiful face was something that Dumb couldn't forget no matter how hard he tried. When he thought of Xuanyue, Dumb's frozen heart ached. His love for Xuanyue was too deep, and it was a deep-rooted feeling. He couldn't forget her.
Suddenly, an indistinct figure gradually appeared in his mind. Dumb was startled. That person was actually a little girl. She was a little girl when she was young. The little girl broke the cold steamed bun in half and handed the remaining half to him. It was as if she was saying, "Big Brother Dumb, eat it!" When he thought of the little girl, Dumb couldn't help but feel excited. However, he quickly calmed down, because he knew that his life didn't belong to him anymore. Once he avenged Uncle Owen and gave his grandmaster an explanation, he would die at Phoenix Slayer's hands. He didn't regret his decision. Even though it was a little hasty, Dumb knew that it was the best way to avenge Uncle Owen. Only by doing this could he find the mysterious organization of assassins in the shortest amount of time possible.
Just as Dumb's emotions were surging, the quiet village suddenly became chaotic. It was as if something had happened. Dumb sat up on the straw bed and thought, 'Why is it so lively so late at night? Did something happen in the village? ' He lightly jumped up from the bed, opened the door, and walked out. It was almost December. Even though this place was the center of the continent and was the hottest place, the night was still a little chilly. As the night wind blew, Dumb felt refreshed, and he couldn't help but stretch. Suddenly, an ice-cold aura jolted him awake. He turned his head to the side and saw a black-clothed Phoenix Slayer standing quietly under the eaves. His eyes were like two cold stars as he stared at him. Dumby said telepathically, "You heard the noise outside too?"
Phoenix Slayer didn't make any leaping movements, but her delicate body had already moved to Dumb's side. She calmly said, "Vigilance is a necessary skill for a thief. Let's go and take a look. "
Dumb nodded, and said, "It's already so late. I don't know what's going on." As he spoke, he floated up and lightly leaped over the wall of the Harry Residence, heading in the direction of the noise.
The noise in the village became even louder. Just as Dumb and Phoenix Slayer were quickly approaching, they heard a loud and clear voice shout, "Villagers, listen up! Hand over all your crops and obediently follow us. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving alive." The voice had clearly been amplified by battle qi, and it was particularly loud in the quiet village.
Dumb looked at Phoenix Slayer and doubtfully said, "Who are these people? Could it be that there are also such hateful bandits in the Hwasin Empire? "
Phoenix Slayer rolled her eyes and said, "How would I know? We'll know once we go and take a look. Do you want to meddle in other people's business? I'm not going to keep you company. "
Dumb coldly snorted and said, "I alone am enough. You can go back first. We're staying here, so how can we just stand by and watch when something happens to the village? You thieves are in cahoots with these bandits, so it's fine as long as you don't come and cause trouble. "After saying this, he increased his speed and headed in the direction of the noise without turning his head. Phoenix Slayer looked at Dumb's departing figure and angrily stamped his foot on the ground. However, he still followed after him. The area of the village was very small, and Dumb quickly arrived in the direction of the noise. He crouched down on the roof of a house and looked ahead. He saw a large number of torches in the distance. Several hundred people had entered the village. These people were all soldiers in bright armor, but there were no emblems on their armor. They were currently going from house to house, searching. Tens of villagers had already been dragged out of their sleep. In the face of these ferocious soldiers, the villagers were unable to resist at all apart from some shouts.
Phoenix Slayer flew to Dumb's side, and when she saw the soldiers in front of her, she frowned and said, "Aren't these soldiers from the Sunset Empire? Why have they come to the Radiance Province? "
Dumb was startled and said in a low voice, "Why can't I tell that they're soldiers from the Sunset Empire? Their armor isn't any different from that of other countries!"
Phoenix Slayer disdainfully said, "What do you know? Every country's armor has its own unique characteristics. Even though these soldiers from the Sunset Empire have taken off their emblems, the small leaf armor they're wearing is unique to the Sunset Empire. Take a closer look and see that the lower part of their armor is made up of small leaf armor. This is definitely different from the armor of other countries." "Pfft."
Even though Dumb didn't like Phoenix Slayer's tone, he still admired her extensive knowledge. "These bastards from the Sunset Empire actually came to the Hwasin Empire to loot. Aren't they afraid of being exterminated?"
Phoenix Slayer said, "I looked at the map. Even though this place is within the borders of the Hwasin Empire, it's very close to the Sunset Empire's Darkness Province. Moreover, it's located in a remote hilly area. As long as the people from the Sunset Empire don't leave any traces behind, they won't arouse the suspicion of the Hwasin Empire. It seems that their goal isn't as simple as looting. There's nothing worth robbing in this small village. "
Dumb was puzzled and asked, "Then why are they here? Are they here to capture people? "
Phoenix Slayer nodded and said, "It's very likely that they're here to capture people and bring them back to undergo cruel training to become slaves for the nobles. The nobles of the Sunset Empire all keep slaves in captivity. However, I reckon that after going through that kind of training, it would be good if even one-third of them could survive. "
Dumb was furious when he heard this. "These bastards are too despicable. I'll cripple them. "
Phoenix Slayer grabbed hold of Dumb and said, "Don't be in such a hurry. You're so skilled at martial arts, so why aren't you calm? When encountering something, you need to look for the best opportunity to strike. Even though your skills are profound, it won't be easy for you to deal with people of similar strength. In any case, the villagers didn't suffer any substantial injuries. Let's talk about it later. "
Dumb felt the ice-cold temperature coming from Phoenix Slayer's hand, and his heart trembled. Her ice-cold appearance made Dumb feel as if he had returned to the past. The anger in his heart immediately dissipated somewhat.
While observing, Dumb and Phoenix Slayer discovered that there were five hundred soldiers from the Sunset Empire on the right side of the village. Their warhorses were outside the village, and they were most likely a regular light cavalry unit. The soldiers wreaked havoc in the village, and all of the villagers were awakened. The soldiers searched every house, and not a single villager managed to escape. They were all brought to an empty space in front of the village. All of the villagers were panic-stricken, and they didn't know what was going on. However, under the threat of the Sunset Empire's soldiers' weapons, which flickered with Cold Light, how could they resist?
The leader of the soldiers was a tall middle-aged man wearing black armor. After all of the villagers were gathered, the middle-aged man's resonant voice rang out. "Everyone, listen up. The Hwasin Empire is a place that blasphemes God. As God's people, you can no longer live under the Hwasin Empire. We are God's emissaries, and we will take you to the place where God has given you. Your crops will become gifts to God. God will take care of you. We will immediately leave this place. If anyone makes any noise on the way, don't blame me for punishing you in God's place. "After saying this, he waved his hand. The long blade in his hand flashed with a cold light, and the green battle qi immediately left a half-foot-deep trench in the ground.
When the villagers saw the long blade flickering with Cold Light in his hand, they immediately revealed fearful expressions. The several hundred people immediately quieted down. They didn't know what these people were doing, and why they were taking them away from their hometown.
"What God's emissaries? They're all lies. We're living very well here, and we won't follow you to some place where God will take care of us. If you know what's good for you, then quickly scram. " A hoarse voice echoed among the gathered villagers. The voice was exceptionally clear in the empty space that had quietened down. Under the instigation of this voice, the villagers, who had submitted to the despotic power, immediately became restless. The number of villagers wasn't less than that of the soldiers, and under the influence of that voice, the soldiers immediately showed signs of being unable to suppress them.
Phoenix Slayer said in astonishment, "Not using sound transmission … There really is an expert in this village! This is an extremely profound martial art, and it unexpectedly hasn't been lost? "
Dumb was startled, and he said, "Not using sound transmission? What's that? "
Phoenix Slayer said, "You don't even know this? How did your teacher teach you? Not using sound transmission is a profound martial art. It uses the vibrations of one's battle qi to imitate all kinds of different sounds. Those who are powerful can spread the sound within a certain range, and people won't be able to tell where the sound is coming from. The person who just spoke is very powerful. Can you tell where the sound came from? "
Dumb shook his head, and said, "I can't tell either. In that case, this person's power is even higher than mine. "
Phoenix Slayer glanced at Dumb, and he thought back to the scene of him cutting off the river during the day. He shook his head, and said, "It's hard to say. However, with the power of this person using sound transmission, it shouldn't be a problem for him to deal with the soldiers of the Sunset Empire. It seems you won't have to do anything."
At this moment, when the light cavalry general saw that the villagers were in an uproar, he immediately flew into a rage, and loudly shouted, "Which one of you was the one who spouted nonsense just now? Step forward! "
The hoarse voice echoed once again, "Are you afraid that your thoughts have been exposed? We are people of the Radiance Province, and we won't leave with you, General of the Sunset Empire. "
The Hwasin Empire and the Sunset Empire had always viewed each other as enemies. Although this was only a remote mountain village, the hostility between them still existed. When the villagers heard the words' Sunset Empire ', the commotion became even more intense.
The general of the Sunset Empire was startled. He had come here secretly, and he absolutely couldn't expose his identity. Killing intent flashed through his eyes, and the long blade in his hand flashed. Green battle qi streaked across the sky, and he slashed at the place where the commoners were gathered. He wanted to kill a few people to establish his might. Then, he would immediately suppress the commoners and bring them back to the Sunset Empire.
A similar green light appeared, and it flashed through the crowd. With a pu sound, the two green lights collided in the air, and they completely canceled each other out. The hoarse voice echoed, "You bastards, you really are ruthless! I'm not going to play with you anymore. I'll send you to meet some god. "As soon as the voice finished speaking, a green figure soared into the sky from the crowd of villagers. His entire body was wrapped in green clothes, including his head. Even the villagers in the crowd didn't know where this green-clothed person had come from.
The green-clothed person floated one meter above the ground, and his hoarse voice echoed once again, "Remember, I'm the guardian of Ha Village. No one is allowed to trespass here." After saying this, the green-clothed person tilted his head in the direction of Dumb and Phoenix Slayer. His gaze was so intense that it seemed as if it was real. Phoenix Slayer didn't feel anything, but Dumb's body violently trembled as if he had been electrocuted. He could clearly feel that the tremor came from his spiritual power, and the target was him. Was this a challenge to him? He was startled, and he stood up from the roof. He stared at the green-clothed person hovering in the air.
The green-clothed person's figure flashed, and he suddenly charged at the light cavalry general of the Sunset Empire. His body streaked past him. That general was instantly sent flying. He crashed into the crowd of soldiers, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive. The hoarse voice echoed in Dumb's ears. "Come, boy, let's attack together. Let's see who can deal with more people."
Dumb coldly snorted, and he floated up without showing any weakness. He was wrapped in a white radiance, and he charged toward the crowd of soldiers from the Sunset Empire. A hoarse laughter echoed in the air, and the green-clothed person jumped into the crowd from the other side. Dumb definitely wouldn't show mercy to the forces of darkness. This was especially true after he heard Phoenix Slayer's words, and his killing intent surged. Strands of silk-like, solid, light-blue battle qi scattered out. Every strand of battle qi seemed very soft, but it was also filled with the aura of death. It could easily pierce through the helmeted heads of the soldiers. Wherever Dumb passed, the soldiers of the Sunset Empire didn't even have time to react before a small bloody hole appeared on their heads.
The appearance of Dumb and the green-clothed person caused the villagers, who were originally afraid, to be at a loss. They could only watch as the soldiers surrounding them fell one after another.
As Dumb crazily slaughtered, he felt extremely refreshed. It was as if all the depression he had felt over the past few days had disappeared. Suddenly, his body spun rapidly, and he floated toward the crowd of soldiers like a tornado. Strands of blue threads continuously poured out from the gray tornado, and they took away one soul after another.
Finally, everything was over. Dumb's eyes were bloodshot as he stood in the same place. He looked at the large number of people falling around him, and his eyes flickered with killing intent. It seemed like he hadn't had enough fun yet.
The green-clothed person floated over and landed in front of Dumb. His voice became much deeper. "Boy, you're too bloodthirsty." There were around 500 light cavalrymen, and close to 400 of them died under Dumb's ever-changing solidified battle qi strands. The remaining few were killed by the green-clothed person. Dumb coldly looked at the green-clothed person and said, "Don't you know the principle of eradicating evil? I naturally won't be merciful to these people who represent darkness. I don't want to give them a chance to come here again. "
The green-clothed person said in a clear voice, "Villagers, these soldiers from the Sunset Empire want to capture you as slaves. They have already received the punishment they deserve. The River of Light and Dark next to our village flows directly to the Darkness Empire. Please throw these people into the river and send them back to their homes. As for the horses, please take off their saddles and let them go back to nature." With that, he turned to Dumb and said, "I don't know why, but killing too much is not a good thing. Boy, it seems like you haven't had enough. Come, let me see what level your cultivation has reached. "With that, he soared into the sky and floated towards the river. Dumb didn't show any weakness. He suddenly sped up and chased after the green-clothed person while wrapped in white battle qi.
The green-clothed person moved extremely fast. Even with Ah Ge's speed, he could only barely keep up. The two of them, one in front and one behind, were like meteors chasing the moon. After advancing for around ten kilometers, the green-clothed person stopped and floated in the air with the help of the green-clothed person's battle qi. Dumb stopped 20 meters away from the other party. Just as he was about to speak, the green-clothed person had already turned into a shadow and pounced towards him. Dumb didn't have the slightest bit of hesitation. His battle qi suddenly shot out in a spiral form and went straight towards the green-clothed person. The violent tornado-like battle qi collided with the green-clothed person's body. With a loud bang, Dumb was sent flying. Being unprepared, he was actually at a disadvantage. The green-clothed person's battle qi had a very strong penetrative power. Compared to him, it wasn't even on the same level. The energy that was like an awl brought a lot of trouble to Dumb. Using all of his energy, he could only barely dissolve it.
The green-clothed person didn't give Dumb a chance to breathe. His body quickly rushed forward. Countless green-clothed images rushed towards Dumb from all directions. Every green-clothed figure was very agile. This was a skill that Dumb didn't have. Dumby's entire body trembled. The opponent's powerful attack had already stimulated the frenzied fighting spirit in his heart. A blue energy shield with a diameter of half a meter appeared on Dumby's right hand. His eyes flashed with a cold light, and without a trace of panic, he used his mind to sense the order of the opponent's attack. His right arm transformed into a shadow in the air, and the blue light shield formed a barrier that was difficult to break through. Violent energy explosions sounded continuously, and when the green figure and Dumby's gray figure collided, more than a dozen green and blue light balls exploded in the air. The surging energy formed a shock wave that suddenly spread in all directions, and within a radius of several hundred meters from the two of them, all living things suffered from the calamity of death. They were completely shattered by the violent airflow. The ground revealed a spacious and irregular pit.
Dumb and the green-clothed person stopped and stared at each other. In the second exchange just now, Dumb's solid-clothed energy displayed great power. It completely blocked the green-clothed person's powerful attack. He managed to turn the situation around.
The green-clothed person laughed and said, "Good, good, good. I haven't felt so happy in a long time. Kid, continue. Let me see what other abilities you have. " His voice was no longer hoarse. It sounded familiar to Dumb's ears. However, he didn't have time to confirm it. A huge and almost irresistible pressure came from the green-clothed person.
Dumby's heart trembled. He activated all the energy of the golden body in his Dantian. The white Genuine Qi that protected his body disappeared. It was completely condensed and transformed into blue Genuine Qi that turned into solid energy, forming an even more solid protective shield. He told himself that he couldn't lose to this person. He was the strongest. He was stronger than anyone else. The stimulation of his competitive spirit made Dumb's blood boil. The domineering aura he had when he faced the Overlord Mercenary Group appeared again. It surged out without holding anything back. It completely blocked the invisible pressure from the green-clothed person. The two people's mental states kept suppressing each other in mid-air. No one was able to gain the upper hand.
The green-clothed person's feet staggered. The green-clothed person's protective energy suddenly slid down. Dumb could clearly feel the pressure coming from him also slipping down. It almost removed the aura he had released. He quickly reacted. He withdrew the aura he had released and stored it inside his body. He adjusted the ninth realm of the pure energy to its best state. He was ready to receive the green-clothed person's attack at any time.
The green-clothed person's green-clothed person gradually condensed under his feet. It actually gradually turned into the shape of a lotus. In Dumb's eyes, the green-clothed person in front of him seemed to have merged with the world. It was so perfect that there was not a single flaw. Dumb knew that he couldn't allow his opponent to continue accumulating power. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult to deal with. Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes and used his will to control the energy within his body. The blue, solidified fighting aura turned into thousands of strands and poured out. Under Dumby's control, they flew towards the man in green. This was a variation of Dumby's Dragnet. It was the same technique he had used to kill the Sunset Empire soldiers. Every strand of solidified fighting aura had an extremely strong penetrating power. It sealed off all possible escape routes for the man in green from all directions.
The energy lotus that the green-clothed person was sitting on had basically taken shape. He gave a loud shout. "Chi — —" Seven green-clothed lotus leaves floated up. They flew toward Dumb's thousands of strands of living energy. Dumb coldly snorted. With a thought, the solid energy suddenly dispersed. It bypassed the oncoming seven lotus leaves and continued to attack the green-clothed person. Just when Dumb thought that his energy strands were about to catch the green-clothed person, the green-clothed person suddenly gave a loud shout. His hands flicked, and seven strands of fighting energy shot out. They hit the seven lotus leaves. The seven lotus leaves exploded with a strong light. Under the effect of the fighting energy, they gathered at one point in the air. Dumb only saw a blur in front of his eyes. A deafening sound had already sounded. When the seven seemingly unremarkable lotus leaves collided with each other, it exploded with a destructive energy. The huge fighting energy shockwave completely shattered the living energy strands that Dumb had dispersed. Under the influence of the energy, Dumb's body suddenly shook. He flew back and threw two punches in succession. Only then did he dissolve the violent shockwave. After the shockwave passed, a cyan energy ball formed in midair. The energy contained in that energy ball was so strong that Dumb was secretly shocked. Was this the effect of the seven lotus leaves?
The green-clothed person shouted, "I'll let you have a taste of my Seven Leaf Lotus Heart." He made a circle with his hands and lightly slapped the ball of light in front of him. The ball of light turned into a beautiful arc. Like a cyan meteor, it crashed toward Dumb. Everywhere it passed, it left a beautiful trail of light. Facing such a huge amount of energy, Dumby didn't dare to be careless. A five-foot-long energy sword appeared in his hand. The light blue energy sword turned light purple under Dumby's full power. He held the sword hilt with both hands and raised it above his head. With a loud roar, he suddenly slashed down at the energy ball that was charging at him. There was a tearing sound in the air. The green-clothed person, who had been very confident in his energy ball, was shocked to find that wherever the purple energy sword passed, the cyan ball of light that contained the explosive energy was actually split in two. It became two semicircles that fell to the ground. With a loud bang, it exploded and created two thirty meter wide craters. What surprised the green-clothed person the most was that Dumb's figure actually disappeared after the energy ball was cut.
