"Madam …"
Guan Chao immediately stood up, smiling with a doting expression on his face.
He was a little drunk and staggered when he stood up.
The madam didn't even look at Guan Chao. Instead, she glanced at Shen Lian and said coldly, "You are too noisy. You are disturbing my reading."
"Oh, a friend came to visit today. I couldn't help but drink a few more cups. Sorry to disturb madam." Guan Chao laughed and walked over, wanting to give the madam a bear hug.
The peerless beauty stood motionless, a look of deep disgust on her face.
Suddenly, Guan Chao, who had rushed in front of her, staggered back as if he had been hit hard.
It was as if an invisible force had directly shaken him away.
Seeing this scene, Shen Lian was stunned. His gaze moved back and forth between Guan Chao and the beautiful woman.
The bandits also had strange expressions and whispered.
"Haha, Master, you really can't touch madam." A drunk bandit pointed at Guan Chao and laughed.
This person was none other than the bald, one-eyed man Shen Lian saw in front of the canyon. This guy was drunk.
The other bandits who were not drunk could not help but be stunned. They all looked at the bald, one-eyed man as if they were looking at a dead man.
Guan Chao took a few steps back before he could stand still.
"You are courting death!"
Guan Chao immediately sobered up. He stared at the madam for a while with his malicious eyes. His expression twitched, and a great anger appeared on his face. He suddenly pulled out his sword from its sheath.
Swish!
Astonishingly, it was the Nine Chain Ghost Blade!
There was a ferocious ghost head on the hilt. The blade was wide and heavy, and the blade emitted a cold light.
Puff!
The Ghost Blade suddenly flashed and chopped out. The bald, one-eyed man was split in half on the spot.
From the top of his head to his crotch, he was split in half.
Blood spilled on the ground.
All kinds of internal organs were scattered everywhere.
"Ah!" The madam was so scared that her face turned pale. She fell to the ground and covered her mouth, almost vomiting.
The bandits were terrified and retreated.
Shen Lian was also shocked and his breathing stagnated.
Guan Chao killed people like scything flax. He didn't even show mercy to his own subordinates.
Shen Lian's heart skipped a beat. Judging from the power that Guan Chao had just unleashed, it was definitely above Bai Lifei's. After all, the young and strong were the most fearsome of fists. Guan Chao was at his peak, while Bai Lifei was already old and weak.
On the other hand, Shen Lian's success was short-lived. Compared to these top-notch martial artists of Jianghu, it was still unknown who would emerge victorious.
"What a temperamental bandit."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and placed his hand on the hilt of Wind Chasing Sword. Then, he gently tugged at a bandit beside him.
"What's going on? Why can't the chief touch the chief's wife?"
The bandit shook his head and sighed. He lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the bandit's wife was poisoned with a Gu called the 'Unswerving Loyalty Gu'. Other than her husband, no one can touch her body."
Was he poisoned?!
Shen Lian asked in astonishment, "Who is the Madame of your stronghold?"
"The wife of the richest man in the Northern Lands, Wan Sanye, Liu Ruyi."
Shen Lian immediately held his breath.
"The same Liu Ruyi who made Wan Sanye willingly give up his entire fortune as her dowry and held a grand wedding for seven days?"
This stunning beauty, Liu Ruyi, was a geisha like Li Chengcheng. She did not come from a good family background, but she had unexpectedly charmed the 60-year-old Wan Sanye. He was the richest man in the Northern Lands, and his wealth was comparable to that of a country!
On the day he married her, Wan Sanye made a will in front of everyone. After his death, all of his assets would be left to Liu Ruyi.
At the same time, Wan Sanye's children all left the marriage with nothing. They did not get a single cent.
This matter was so big that it spread throughout the entire Northern Lands.
Later, Liu Ruyi suddenly disappeared. Wan Sanye offered a reward of one million to find her.
As for what exactly happened, Shen Lian had heard many versions. Some said that Wan Sanye's children killed Liu Ruyi. Others said that Liu Ruyi ran away with someone else.
In short, there were many different opinions.
Who would have thought that she was in the bandit den of Chi Lin mountain range.
That bandit nodded: "Half a year ago, village head went to Rong Hua city and kidnapped Liu Ruyi.
This woman was as beautiful as a fairy and could steal people's souls. Our village head fell in love with her and loved her to death.
But who would have thought that there was something strange about Liu Ruyi's body. Village head could not even touch her and could only force himself on her. "
Shen Lian could not help but stare deeply at Liu Ruyi.
"Unswerving loyalty Gu, it seems to be … a marriage type Gu."
He thought of many things.
Right at this moment, the atmosphere changed.
Guan Chao, whose face was filled with ruthlessness, put down his bloodstained saber and held his forehead with his hand. He showed an ashamed expression and said while swaying: "Aiya, I drank too much and accidentally killed Brother Da Tou. It is my fault."
The military advisor chuckled and stood up while waving his paper fan: "The people of this world are suffering, living is worse than death. Since village head has sent Da Tou away, why don't we be a good person to the end and give him three more wives? "
All the bandits were agitated and shouted, "Good!"
The dancers were horrified and immediately ran away, but they were caught by the bandits and pressed in front of Guan Chao.
Guan Chao looked around and asked: "What kind of women does Da Tou like?"
A bandit shouted: "Big buttocks!"
Another bandit shouted: "The bigger the buttocks, the more he likes them."
Another bandit shouted: "He likes men more."
The bandits burst into laughter.
Guan Chao pointed at three of the dancers with his saber and said: "You three then. After you go down, serve Da Tou well and give birth to a few more ghost sons for him."
Saying so, he raised his saber and slashed down.
"Stop! Don't kill them! "
Liu Ruyi suddenly rushed over and knelt in front of Guan Chao, begging with tears in her eyes.
Guan Chao stopped abruptly and said fiercely: "Death is the most important thing. My brother is dead, I only need to kill three lowly servants to accompany him in death. What are you feeling heartache for?"
Liu Ruyi's tears flowed down: "They were originally people with poor lives. Because of me, they were kidnapped by you and played with day and night. They have already suffered countless torments, living a life worse than death, yet you still want to kill them. Do you still have any humanity left? How can there be such a cruel person in this world?"
Guan Chao was furious and sent a slap.
Bam!
Guan Chao's hand was three inches away from Liu Ruyi's face when it suddenly bounced back.
Shen Lian clearly saw transparent ripples on the surface of Liu Ruyi's body, causing his pupils to contract abruptly.
"F * ck you!"
Guan Chao shook his hand and grimaced in pain. His expression suddenly turned ruthless as he raised his saber and slashed at one of the dancers.
At the critical moment, almost as the saber was about to strike the dancer's delicate neck, Shen Lian suddenly unsheathed his sword. The Chasing Wind Sword was like a lightning bolt, and the sword light was like a dragon. In a flash, it stabbed diagonally upwards.
Pfft!
A bloody severed arm was detached from the body and fell to the ground with a thud.
The severed arm was still holding onto the Nine Chain Ghost-Head Saber.
Guan Chao was stunned. The world was dead silent.
"Ahhhh …"
After being stunned for a moment, intense pain assaulted him. Guan Chao clutched his bleeding shoulder and let out a shrill scream.
Shen Lian swept his sword horizontally.
Pfft!
A human head suddenly flew into the air.
Fresh blood splattered all over the ground.
The entire bandit stronghold was deathly silent.
All the bandits were dumbfounded. They looked at the corpse on the ground and then looked at Shen Lian who was in a daze.
For a moment, there was only the howling of the cold wind. A layer of dust on the ground was blown up and swirled around.
Shen Lian stood motionless, his Chasing Wind Sword still in the final sweeping posture.
He had killed Guan Chao at the perfect time. The result was extremely spectacular!
But …
He had killed someone!
He had killed someone!
Whether it was in his previous life or this life, he had never injured anyone, let alone killed someone.
At this moment, his mind was completely blank. His heart was in turmoil.
"Ah, the chief has been killed!"
Someone shouted. All the bandits moved angrily, picking up their weapons and surrounding him.
Shen Lian was still in a daze.
"Benefactor, leave quickly!" Liu Ruyi shouted at him.
Shen Lian suddenly came back to his senses. He looked at Liu Ruyi and then at the dancers who were still in shock. Their dim eyes gradually regained a hint of vitality, like the twinkling stars in the darkness. Shen Lian's body trembled. He felt a faint burning sensation in his heart, as if his blood was boiling.
He held the Chasing Wind Sword tightly, looking down at the crowd.
A strange feeling kept erupting in his heart. He felt as if he was in a wuxia novel.
An indescribable boiling sensation kept burning wildly in the depths of his heart.
I am a wild guest of Shu. I travel the world with my sword.
I kill one person every ten steps. I travel a thousand miles without leaving a trace.
"Come on!"
Shen Lian suddenly roared. He swept the Chasing Wind Sword across the air. A crescent-moon sword aura slanted out. Three bandits who had rushed forward immediately flew back, their bodies cut in half at the waist.
The sound of people sucking in cold breaths could be heard all around.
Advisor Jun pointed at Shen Lian with a trembling finger and shouted, "Brothers, let's go. He's alone. Whoever kills him will be the new Chieftain."
The bandits went crazy when they heard this. They shouted "Kill! Kill!" and rushed forward one after another.
"Overflowing Rain Swordsmanship!"
Shen Lian laughed wildly without fear.
The Wind Chasing Sword suddenly shook out a mysterious and boundless sword flower, which suddenly exploded and turned into a rain of light that shot out in all directions.
Puff, puff, puff …
The bandits who were closing in on them all trembled. They were like those people who were shot by machine guns on TV.
Then, blood clots appeared on their clothes. Some of them fell to the ground and died instantly. Some of them rolled on the ground, wailing in pain.
"Release the arrows! Shoot him to death!"
Advisor Jun shouted as he ran away.
Shen Lian's eyes were cold. He picked up a saber and threw it out. It pierced through Advisor Jun's back and through his chest.
Almost at the next moment, the air was filled with whooshing sounds. Dozens of arrows were shot at him.
Shen Lian was very agile. He pulled a bandit in front of him and all the arrows hit him.
After a round of arrows, he quickly jumped out of the encirclement and ran straight for the archer ten meters away.
A second round of arrows followed. But!
"Iron Transformation!"
Shen Lian turned into an iron man and rushed forward. The arrows hit his body and bounced off. He quickly closed in on the archer. He raised his hand and shook out a sword flower. After a burst of arrows, the archer died with bloody holes all over his body.
"Benefactor, be careful!"
Liu Ruyi suddenly exclaimed and pointed at the city gate tower.
Shen Lian looked up and saw that the bandits on the city gate tower were turning their mechanical crossbows from outward to inward, aiming at him.
These crossbows were much more powerful than bows. Even in his iron transformation state, he did not dare to take them head-on.
"You're courting death!"
He rushed to the bottom of the battlements and ran along the wall. Then, he rushed up the stairs. After killing a few bandits, he arrived at the city gate tower.
Boom!
With a slant of Sword Qi, the mechanical crossbows shattered into pieces.
A moment later, he killed all the bandits on the city gate tower and destroyed all the mechanical crossbows. When he looked down, he was stunned.
The bandits … had all run away!
