Although they won't die, they can't survive either...
“Ah,” Hanbei murmured a sigh, “I deeply sympathize with your lament.”
"Are you going to oppose me?" the hermit said. "Those who block my way shall die, and those who do not obey my will... shall also die!"
The next moment, a dark figure attacked from the forest, and Hanbei thrust forward.
Both he and the mountain man were pierced through at the same time, but neither of them died.
The knives remaining in their bodies now serve as tools to bind them.
That's why Hanbei didn't block the mountain man's attack.
"You all need to leave quickly!" he shouted.
"Shan Ren! Stop it!" Zhengji shouted.
"It's no use, that guy looks like he's already lost his mind," Lu Ye said. "Listen to Hanbei, everyone hurry down the mountain!!"
After witnessing the mountain people's madness, the villagers did not hesitate and turned to run down the mountain.
Despite the large number of people on this side, the other side seems to be immortal, and staying there would only be a burden.
With no longer needing to worry about the villagers, Hanbei focused all his efforts on fighting the mountain people.
For a moment, sparks from the clashing blades flickered in the darkness.
"It hurts so much, it hurts so much..."
After a fierce battle, the mountain man's body was riddled with holes.
Although he expressed it that way, his voice was still cheerful.
The person wearing the ape skin seemed to have truly become an ape.
Hanbei didn't say anything, and wiped the blood from his nose.
Judging from the exchange just now, although the mountain man was as agile as a monkey, his sword swings were all show and no substance.
If it weren't for the dim lighting in the mountains, I would have won sooner or later.
However, the other side seems to have lost the will to continue fighting.
"Hehe, then we'll part ways here for today..."
After saying this, the mountain man turned and fled, disappearing into the woods. Hanbei couldn't keep up with his speed at all.
"Oh no... he went after them." Hanbei sensed something was wrong.
……
The villagers arrived at the gentle hillside, where weeds grew rampant.
Everyone ran through the waist-high weeds, the rustling sound filling their ears.
Lu Ye considered whether he and Violet should join the battle, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
Violet is indeed very strong, but she is not invincible.
The exact concept of "immortality" and the extent to which it can be achieved remain a mystery.
Just like before, Hanbei used his immortality as bait to deal with the samurai.
If the mountain man uses his "immortality" to create an opening for Violet, she will likely suffer a great loss.
Until you become strong enough, you can't get involved in this kind of battle at all.
Judging from the exchange just now, the mountain man's swordsmanship is not exquisite; he relies on brute force that is disproportionate to his physique.
In this way, Hanbei, who is skilled in swordsmanship, will definitely gradually gain the upper hand.
That mountain man wouldn't foolishly fight Hanbei to the death; instead, he would choose to pursue the weaker villagers...
Therefore, we must buy time to escape.
But then, fear gripped Lu Ye's heart.
—Danger!
Without hesitation, relying on his intuition, Lu Ye suddenly stopped and turned around to draw his sword and strike!
"clang!!"
The sound of swords clashing rang out, and Lu Ye felt his arm go numb from the impact.
That's incredible force! If it had been any stronger, the knife might have broken.
But it wasn't over yet. After Lu Ye managed to block the first blow, the second one came like a shadow, because the "monkey" had two knives in its hands.
Lu Ye couldn't withstand the blow himself, but someone else blocked it for him.
—Violet.
Her hearing was keen, but she missed the arrival of the mountain man because of the footsteps of the crowd and the noise of the wild grass.
However, her reaction was really fast; she drew her katana almost at the same time Lu Ye turned around and drew his sword.
Chapter 113 The Fate of "Disappearance"
The dark clouds suddenly parted, revealing a bright, clear moon.
"Didn't succeed again...hehehe." The mountain man licked the blood from his tiger's mouth.
"Mountain man...why did you kill him?" Zhengji couldn't hold back any longer. "Everyone was bringing you food!!"
The other villagers also wore expressions of anger, but this anger was mixed with fear.
"Zhengji, it was wrong of me to say those things to you just now. I never thought of eating you, but I'm so lonely... I want a home, I want a place to stay..."
"Nonsense! What kind of logic is there in this world that someone would eat people just because they're lonely?" Zhengji roared.
“You’re a hermit, right? Can I ask you something?” Lu Ye said.
"Hehe, you're not even flustered when you're about to die? You don't actually think that southern barbarian girl beside you can protect you, do you?" the mountain man chuckled.
"Zhengji said you ate monkeys, but why do you eat people?"
"Hehehe, because once you die and enter my belly, you'll lose your identity, becoming neither human nor ape, but my companion!" the mountain man said. "How is Ling? Zhengji, did I tell her I wanted to marry her? Did you tell her?"
After hearing what the mountain man said, Lu Ye breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.
He raised the Colt Python revolver and fired at the mountain man without even aiming!
Gunshots rang out through the mountains and forests, startling the birds into flight.
The mountain man nimbly rolled to the side, and the bullet missed him.
“Violet.” Lu Ye gently patted the girl’s shoulder, “Try to keep it a little further away.”
"Ah."
The girl drew her sword, leaped up, and then slashed down.
This is an arc drawn in the air, with no blind spots and no way to avoid it.
"Yahahahah!!"
The mountain man swung his twin swords, blocking Violet's attack.
"Ughhhh, why is this woman even stronger than that ronin from before, and even a little stronger than me...?"
Sensing the girl's strength, the mountain man slowly retreated, gradually lowering his body and disappearing into the waist-high weeds.
Violet frowned slightly.
“This isn’t good,” she said to Lu Ye. “The grass here is too tall; if it hides, Violet will have a hard time finding it right away.”
Lu Ye understood this as well.
The environment here is perfect for the hunched mountain people.
Pretending to turn away to lure it in will likely not work, but if you leave directly, you'll definitely be ambushed.
It seems that the mountain man's hunting skills are still superior.
An immortal body...that's really troublesome.
Lu Ye felt that his swordsmanship was far from being truly masterful.
While Violet possesses strength, her opponent is immortal.
Neither he, Violet, nor Hanbei could kill the mountain man.
But Lu Ye had already achieved his goal.
From the mountain man's words, he became certain of one thing.
—The only way to kill the mountain man is to rely on "its" power.
Without hesitation, Lu Ye took torches and flint from the villagers.
In the mountains, these two items are essential: they can be used for lighting at night if you get lost, and they can also be used to scare away wild animals.
The flames shone brightly, illuminating the surroundings.
Lu Ye handed the torch to Zheng Ji: "Hold it up high, try your best to hold it up high."
"Ugh... It's so bright! Get that thing away!" A voice suddenly rang out from the bushes; it was Shanren.
"Red-eyed people are afraid of fire." Lu Ye said this instinctively.
The next moment, a shadow darted out from the woods above and pierced the mountain man's heart from behind.
That was Hanbei. After realizing that Yamano had gone to chase after Rokuyo and the others, he rushed over here.
"Although I do not know why you have become a red-eyed person, I will sever this ties."
"Aaaaaah, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much..." the mountain man roared, "Can't you just die already?!"
He raised his sword and stabbed Hanbei in the body with a backhand motion, taking his own body with him.
Lu Ye seized the opportunity and shot the mountain man's left leg.
That shot temporarily rendered him unable to move.
"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!"
