"It's actually a scholar …"
Under the moonlight, they could vaguely see the leader's figure. One of them immediately laughed.
"Scholar, are you also here to kill that Liu Ruyi?" The man laughed a few times and said mockingly, "What's the point of a good scholar learning to fight and kill? Why don't you go home and study for a few more years!"
Tonight's operation, everyone actually had a relaxed attitude. At this moment, when they heard the man mocking the scholar for overestimating himself, they immediately roared with laughter.
As for the others, they didn't think too much about it.
The moon was dark and the wind was strong. What else could it be if it wasn't for that woman?
"Could it be that all of you heroes are here to take that woman's life?" The scholar was stunned. After regaining his senses, he cupped his fists and said to the man in front of him.
"Hehe, that woman's martial arts are powerful. If you are afraid, why don't you come with us? When we catch her, you can slash her a few times to vent your anger …" The man in front of him didn't put the scholar in his eyes, but the three men behind him seemed to have a strong aura. They were worth roping in.
A look of pleasant surprise appeared on the scholar's face, and he hurriedly said, "In that case, I'll have to thank this hero. That woman killed my brother, and she and I are absolutely irreconcilable enemies. If I can take revenge today, I'll definitely have to thank all of you heroes!"
"You're too polite." The man laughed and reached out to pat the scholar's shoulder. The scholar easily dodged to the side.
The man's face revealed a surprised expression. This scholar's words revealed a trace of a bandit's aura, and his movements were abnormally agile. He didn't look like a weak scholar at all.
"This is a bit interesting!"
Thinking that he had underestimated the scholar before, the man praised him. He didn't believe it and grabbed the scholar's shoulder. This time, he used a bit more strength than before.
The scholar raised his hand to block, but the man suddenly felt a strange force coming from his wrist. The next moment, the scholar grabbed his wrist and pulled, causing his body to involuntarily take a step forward.
The young scholar clearly held back and didn't use much strength. The man steadied himself, and the strange look in his eyes became even stronger. He cupped his fists and said, "May I ask which hero of the Lulin Forest you are?"
Since he had such skills, he shouldn't be a nobody in the Jianghu.
"I don't deserve to be called a hero." He had used up almost all of his strength in that attack just now. The scholar calmed himself down and cupped his fists as he replied, "I've only killed a few people. I'm indebted to the heroes of the forest for their favor, so I've been given the nickname — Deadly Scholar."
…
…
"Life Stealing Scholar?"
For a moment, the burly man could not recall if there was such a person in the Jianghu. At this moment, the people in front of him had already walked more than ten steps. Without thinking too much, he cupped his fists and said, "So you are the Fatal Bookworm, it's an honor to meet you …"
The corner of the scholar's mouth twitched. At this moment, the man urged, "It's getting late. Let's leave quickly."
"That's good …"
The young scholar seemed to be eager to take the woman's life as well. He turned around and gestured to the three burly men behind him. The three of them looked at each other and nodded. They tightened the bulging bags on their backs and followed.
As the few of them followed behind, they were questioned a little. Although they were not familiar with the bandit name of the Deadly Bookworm, they were not unfamiliar with it either. After all, most of the people in the forest had the same style of naming themselves. They had heard of names like Death Stealing Life, Butcher King of Hell, and they were too lazy to differentiate between them. Seeing that the scholar was talking about killing people so casually, it did not seem like he was faking it. Not long after, they began to treat him as one of their own.
"Brother Zhou said that the woman is so beautiful that it would be a pity to kill her just like that. If you ask me, why don't we let our brothers have some fun after we catch her later …"
"Hehe, I'd like to see how she's different from ordinary women …"
"Let's be careful, lest we fail miserably and lose our precious and precious lives …"
As the crowd discussed openly, there was not a single light in the stronghold a mile away. It was exceptionally quiet.
"That's strange, where did everyone go?" A figure snuck into the stronghold silently. He wanted to capture someone and interrogate them about the woman's residence, but after going through a few courtyards, he did not see a single person.
"Could it be that the woman had already gotten wind of it and escaped first? Or did someone beat me to it? " He had a puzzled look on his face. There were many heroes who targeted the woman, and he thought that he was fast enough. He did not expect that he was still one step too late.
With that thought in mind, he had already climbed up another wall like a nimble monkey. When he entered the courtyard, he finally saw the lights in the house through the window.
"Someone's here!" A hint of joy appeared on his face. Just as he was about to make a move, he heard a creak and the door opened. A hunched figure walked out from inside.
The person was stunned for a moment before he immediately pounced on him. Under the moonlight, the cold edge of his blade gleamed, and a chilling voice could be heard.
"Old man, where is that Liu Ruyi? Answer me honestly and I'll spare your life!"
…
…
"Bang!"
The skinny man punched the figure in black back. When the other party swung the weapon in his hand again, the skinny man suddenly sped up and punched the man's neck.
With a crack, the man's eyeballs looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets. His neck tilted and he fell to the ground, no longer breathing.
"That's the fifth one."
He threw the man's body to the side. There were several figures lying on the ground. After a muffled sound, a black figure was thrown out from the courtyard wall, and there was another body on the ground.
"The sixth one."
He murmured, wiped the blood from his arm, and retreated into the courtyard wall.
There were many people in the courtyard. When he walked in, a woman saw his arm and immediately helped him to the side to bandage the wound.
"A moment of carelessness, a moment of carelessness." When a few men walked over, he smiled awkwardly and said with some embarrassment.
"Why are you here?" The man in the lead looked at him and asked with a frown.
"The few of them are enough to guard the back. Moreover, the second young mistress is there too." The man smiled and said, "If those guys want to come in, they can only walk in front. I'm here to take a look."
"With the young mistress here, there's nothing to worry about here." The man's expression was rather relaxed. During the day, he had indeed been nervous for a while, but after seeing the scene just now, he had completely dispelled his worries.
"They're here." Another figure pushed the door open and said in a low voice.
The crowd looked at each other, took their weapons, and when they walked out, the figure with the sword was already walking in the direction of the village's entrance.
"They're here."
The group of more than ten people stopped in front of the village in the mountains. Among the crowd, a man saw the young man with the bandit nickname "Deadly Scholar" and sighed. The expression on his face was rather complicated.
"Hehe, don't be anxious. In a while, your brother's revenge will be avenged." The man laughed and said.
In the darkness of the night, more than ten figures walked over. The night was very bright, and the crowd had good eyesight. They saw the young woman walking in front at a glance.
"It's her!"
"She's Liu Ruyi!"
"What are they trying to do? Do they think that they can fight against us with just a few people?"
…
…
The crowd began to speak. "Bone-Paring Knife" Zhu Tufu, "Death Rush" Cui Yan, the burly man with the surname Zhou, and the Third Lady narrowed their eyes. Their faces were filled with vigilance as they held their weapons in their hands.
That woman knew that they were coming, but she was not afraid at all. There must be a trap, and they could not let their guard down.
"Heroes, I have an irreconcilable feud with that woman. If I don't kill her with my own hands, I'm afraid I won't be able to think straight. Let us go and meet her first!"
All of a sudden, a voice came from the back of the crowd. Everyone saw the Deadly Bookworm glaring at the figure in front of him. His face was contorted and filled with hatred. A few of the men beside him placed the bags on their backs on the ground, drew their weapons, and charged forward.
This sudden scene caused everyone to be slightly startled.
For him to be this impatient, it would appear that there was some sort of blood feud between the Life Stealing Scholar and Liu Ruyi!
Including Zhu Tufu and the others, no one stopped him. They were glad that someone was willing to take the lead and test the woman's strength. It was a good opportunity to see if the woman was up to no good.
The few of them quickly rushed to the woman's side, but they did not see the clash of swords and weapons that they had expected. While they were puzzled, one of them suddenly exclaimed, "What's that sound?"
Buzz …
A faint sound could be heard faintly in the crowd's ears.
