New and dark light years

Chapter 286 Sword Qi
Pingzheng Village has a large population of nearly 500 people, which makes it a large village.

This is also why Zhou Libo chose this place.

With a decent population and a small area lacking powerful clans that could not restrain or limit him, he could do whatever he wanted.

In fact, his choice was correct until today.

There were indeed no powerful clans in Pingzheng Village, and he was having a great time there.

In addition, this place is quite far from the county seat. Generally speaking, it takes a day to get to the county seat, so it is not easy to send a rescue there.

The True Lord here, lacking the assistance of Spirit Hunters, is essentially in a semi-retired state.

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings.

Zhou Libo is now like that monkey, a monkey with a bit of cleverness.

As an eighth-rank martial artist, he was considered low-level in the martial arts world, but in this small village, he was a big shot.

But he was also clever; he first chose the most beautiful village woman to possess, then killed her husband and threatened her two children.

For the sake of her two children, the woman had no choice but to swallow her anger and endure his insults.

Next, he looked for new 'victims' in the village. Apart from two strong men who dared to fight him, once he broke their arms and legs, no one in the village dared to resist.

Zhou Libo didn't want to kill anymore, not because he was kind, but because he knew that things would get very complicated when people were driven to a dead end.

Therefore, he only acted arrogantly, indulging in eating and drinking, and taking advantage of other people's wives, living a very happy life.

Until today, a troop of soldiers arrived.

Actually, he hid as soon as the group appeared at the village entrance.

He hid in the mountains behind the village, using the high ground to observe the movements in the village.

If they come to arrest him, he will leave temporarily.

If he was just passing through... he would return to the village and continue his happy days once the group left.

But he knew very well that these people would probably arrive soon to arrest him.

If the people of Pingzheng Village aren't stupid, they'll take advantage of this opportunity to ask these soldiers to solve their problem.

Therefore, he took the initiative to back down, letting the soldiers see that they couldn't catch him.

He waited in the mountains until dusk, and then finally the soldiers came to his 'home'!
He watched as the tofu-selling woman knelt down, crying, as if pleading guilty.

Looking around that 'house,' a circle of villagers were pointing and whispering.

He sneered in the dark forest.

Then he saw a woman come out.

He thought the tofu seller he had was already very beautiful, but compared to this woman protected by the soldiers, she was far inferior.

That snow-white face, that graceful figure... the difference is frightening.

Zhou Libo had originally intended to back down, but looking at this woman, he had a change of heart.

What is the greatest characteristic of a martial artist? ... mobility and agility.

In a direct confrontation, he would certainly be no match for those thirty-odd soldiers.

But once night falls and the other party relaxes their guard, he can take advantage of the darkness to do something special.

So he climbed up the tree, lay down on a branch, and waited for night to fall.

On the other side, Hongluan led her soldiers to surround a house, only to find no men inside, just a woman who was reasonably good-looking, and two children.

Hongluan was somewhat disappointed; it was obvious... that person had run away.

She was somewhat dejected and said, "Since they ran away, then let it go."

“But what if he comes back again…” Fang cried.

She was really scared.

Hongluan said helplessly, "If those martial arts practitioners want to run away, we can't catch them. I guess they won't dare to come back."

Fang cried even harder, but Hongluan was helpless.

He returned to the Ren family ancestral home, had a casual meal with some of the elders, and was then settled into a fairly decent room. She lay on the bed, fully clothed and covered with a blanket, and suddenly said, "Sister Yanjing...why do those martial arts practitioners always bully ordinary people!"

"Because they can't fight against the officials. When has our husband ever had to listen to the faces of those in the martial arts world?"

"But they have great skills; wouldn't it be better for them to serve the court and rid the world of evil?"

“You’ve got quite a few skills now, but all you want to do is please your husband.”

"Are you trying to get yourself killed? You make it sound like you don't want to," Hongluan said with a laugh.

Yan Jing smiled too.

The two exchanged some more suggestive remarks about her husband, but at that moment, Yan Jing suddenly said, "Wait, there's someone on the roof. Be quiet and pretend to be asleep."

Hongluan immediately closed her eyes.

After a while, a faint sound came from the roof, as if the tiles were being removed.

Then Li Yanjing said softly, "There is a mist of intoxication, hold your breath."

Hongluan obeyed.

Although she held her breath for as long as Li Lin, she still held it for quite a while.

A plume of white smoke fell from the roof and gradually dissipated.

After a while, the tiles were removed even faster, and then a man in black jumped down from the upper body.

The technique of lightness of body makes the landing sound extremely faint.

At that moment, Hongluan suddenly leaped up and shouted, "There's an assassin!"

Then came a thrust of the sword.

In these chaotic times, Li Lin not only had Li Yanjing accompany him, but also had Hongluan carry her sword.

The man in black was Zhou Libo. He thought he had succeeded, but he didn't expect the other party to pretend to be asleep.

Caught off guard, he was startled and his reaction was a little slow.

Although he tried his best to dodge, his right shoulder was still lightly pierced.

Amidst the excruciating pain, Zhou Libo realized that while the woman was beautiful, her swordsmanship was exceptionally skilled, seemingly already at a master level. Moreover, given her loud shout, the surrounding soldiers must have gathered around.

In his haste, he dared not retaliate and immediately turned around and jumped out of the window.

"Slut, where are you going?"

Hongluan followed and leaped out of the window.

At this moment, the soldiers outside had already surrounded them. In his anxiety, Zhou Libo immediately jumped high, trying to break through the encirclement.

But at that moment, a flash of white light appeared on the longsword in Hongluan's hand.

Then she slashed forward with great force, and crescent-shaped light burst forth from the sword.

Zhou Libo heard a strong gust of wind behind him and hurriedly turned around. His pupils shrank drastically when he saw what was happening.

"Sword Qi?"

He desperately tried to twist his body to dodge, but the sword energy was extremely fast. He tried his best, but could only dodge most of it, and his right leg was still hit by the sword energy.

laugh!
With a sharp crack, Zhou Libo's lower leg was severed, and he fell from mid-air with a scream.

Soon, the soldiers swarmed forward and pinned Zhou Libo to the ground.

At this moment, the villagers also arrived. Hearing the cries of the red phoenix, they spontaneously grabbed hoes, carrying poles, and shovels and ran over.

Then, seeing Zhou Libo on the ground, they were all furious.

They swarmed forward, pushing aside the soldiers, and began to smash Zhou Libo, who was lying on the ground, with all their might.

One scream after another... then gradually faded until it stopped.

After the crowd stopped, Zhou Libo had disappeared, leaving only a pool of indistinct flesh and blood on the ground.

You can't tell at all that it's a person.
