The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 129
In this land of the Western Regions, it is tacit in the eyes of the imperial court that local tyrants and horse bandits are colluding with each other. If Taoist officials want to arrest a certain bandit, they will usually first report to the sect or family that is actually in charge of the place, and the latter is also likely to be arrested. Will not choose to cover up.

Such a sudden attack like Zhao Chen's is a bit ignorant of the rules.

But no matter how ignorant of the rules, the Xie family of Heifengbao did not dare to really help the gangsters deal with the Taoist officials on the bright side, so after the face of the leader of the patrol team changed a few times, he had to wave his hand to let his family fire. The blunderbuss retreated, and even vaguely surrounded Liu Hong and the others.

Seeing the scene suddenly turned around, Liu Hong was shocked and angry, but adhering to the principle of "a good man doesn't suffer immediate losses", he still planned to admit his cowardice and leave.

Of course, there must be a few harsh words before leaving.

But at this moment, he was shocked to find that the orange-red long sword in the boy's hand had once again filled his field of vision.

Even if the Xie family patrol team doesn't intervene anymore, but I still have more than a dozen people under my command, with seven or eight firecrackers, how dare he do it? !

"Looking for death!" Liu Hong roared angrily, and with a single strike, he spit out the strength formed by his true energy, and blocked the oncoming "Sunset Sword".

But he lost the opportunity, and he was too close to Zhao Chen, and he was oppressed by his aura of driving back the Xie family patrol with a token, and he was at a disadvantage in the spiritual battle.

In other words, he didn't understand what a spiritual infighting was at all. He took advantage of the situation and was easily suppressed by Zhao Chen's soul power. He didn't use [-]% or even [-]% of his strength. Facing this head-on sword, he didn't even have to guard against the opponent's change of move. The backhands were not prepared.

Therefore, with a touch of the "Sunset Sword" in Zhao Chen's hand, the light of the sword changed from "Rising Sun" to "Sunset", pointing directly at Liu Hong's lower abdomen.

Liu Hong's gaze was fixed, and he finally recovered a little bit from the suppressed state. Knowing that he had made a hasty move and fell into the opponent's trap, he had no choice but to block the long sword with one hand.

With a "poof", he actually blocked the fatal blow at the cost of breaking his hand, and stepped back quickly, trying to distance himself.

But Zhao Chen didn't pursue, because the opponent's subordinates finally came to their senses at this moment, and raised their firecrackers and sabers one after another.

If these people were farther away from Zhao Chen, then the latter would probably have to use the "Water Moon Illusory Body" to escape immediately, but unfortunately, they were within three feet of Zhao Chen!

Within this range, all their actions are reflected in the external spiritual sense, and they will also be subject to a certain degree of mental interference. Therefore, Zhao Chen walked among the horse thieves very calmly, piercing flowers and trees, and did not take many shots. , but every time the sword light circulated, it was accompanied by a person's fall.

"boom!"

In the end, someone found an opportunity to shoot, but under the influence of the spirit and under the pressure of the huge momentum, the extremely nervous gunman pulled the trigger indiscriminately without even aiming.

Such accuracy can be imagined, he even directly killed a companion.

And Zhao Chen, who originally thought that he was "not as fast as a bullet within three feet, but faster than a shooter", was also in a cold sweat, because in his eyes, this "following" shooting method was more troublesome than the serious aiming method.

For example, this blow, after passing through the body of a horse bandit and hitting the ground, almost bounced to him.

"It's hard to defend against stray bullets!" After Zhao Chen complained in his heart, he also knocked down the last horse thief brought by Liu Hong with his sword.

For these "jianghu people" who lick blood at the edge of a knife and disregard human life, Zhao Chen will naturally not be soft-hearted. Although they did not really hurt their lives, they also cut off their usual palms and ruined the dantians of several people who have achieved true energy. .

This is not due to the benevolence of Zhao Chen's wife, it's just because Taoist officials kill so many people in the street.

In fact, the horse bandits who have lost their force may have a more tragic end than death.

At this time, Liu Hong, who had lost one hand, had already prepared the life-saving spell for which he became famous—"Sand Dungeon" while his subordinates held Zhao Chen back.

He formed a mudra with one hand, and quickly recited a series of mantras in his mouth, and then his whole body sank quickly, merging into the sand under his feet.

"I, Liu Hong, have written down today's hatred! See you next time, and I will pay you back!"

In an instant, only Liu Hong's exasperated voice was left floating on the scene.

next time?no more chance!Zhao Chen raised the corner of his mouth, raised a revolver with his left hand, and pulled the trigger against the ground not far away.

The next moment, the "Hongxia Bullet" at the firing position of the runner was launched, turning into a bright crimson sword aura, which broke through the ground and penetrated into the sand.

"Ah!" Accompanied by a scream, streams of fresh blood emerged from the hole cut by the sword qi, dyeing the ground red.

At the same time Liu Hong was beheaded, a short, middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of dirty blood in a restaurant next to the street.

When you look closely, you can find that his face is blue, and his eyes seem to have a faint phosphorescence.

"Brother Xie, are you alright?" the man sitting opposite him asked.

He was wearing a blood-colored robe and had a feminine demeanor.

"It's okay... It's just that I'm not good at learning, and I was backlashed by the 'Ghost Puppet Method'... Fortunately, I disconnected in time." The short and middle-aged man called Brother Xie waved his hand, and then said with some guilt, "Failed to take down this caravan directly, because of Brother Zhuang's entrustment."

His original plan was to manipulate Liu Hong to provoke Zhao Chen's caravan, regardless of whether the other party made a move, let the patrol team intervene, and take everyone down in a fair manner.

It's a pity that this plan is doomed to fail when Zhao Chen takes out the Taoist token, unless Heifengbao wants to tear himself apart from the court.

"It is rumored that Yan Hongxia and this Zhao Chen have a close relationship, and now it seems that what he said is true...not only directly promoted him to be the 'Evil Slayer Envoy' of the ninth rank, but also sealed the 'Red Emperor Yangyuan Sword Qi' in the bullet. Here, give him a hole card."

The man surnamed Zhuang in a blood-colored robe sighed, and continued, "But it's not futile, at least I have figured out Zhao Chen's strength and hole cards, and I will lead someone to take them down in the middle of the night today.

"Brother Xie will be asked to cooperate with me to play a play at that time, which can not only paralyze Zhao Chen, but also remove the suspicion afterwards."

"That's no problem, your brother Zhuang's business is my business." After the man surnamed Xie agreed happily, he asked curiously, "I don't know what is in this caravan, so that you can win Brother Zhuang like this." value?"

"It was my subordinate 'Sand Snake' Ye Liwang who had a grudge against Zhao Chen, so he intercepted and killed him here." The man surnamed Zhuang replied lightly.

"So that's how it is...then I wish Brother Zhuang every success!" The man surnamed Xie looked stunned, as if he really believed the other party's words.

After the two drank a few more glasses of wine, they dispersed separately. When the blood-clothed man surnamed Zhuang was going downstairs, he suddenly turned his head and said to the "air":

"Tao Zhou, the 'Master Gunsmith' in the caravan, must be caught tonight, and anyone who may have come into contact with that thing must be killed!
"In addition, let the other team destroy the Xie family after I do it, creating the illusion that they robbed the caravan and absconded in fear of crime."

"Yes!" An illusory voice came from nowhere to the ears of the man surnamed Zhuang.

At the same time, the short and stout man surnamed Xie also ordered his subordinates in the restaurant: "Keep an eye on the 'Blood Shadow' people, they are definitely planning a big deal this time, and when they succeed, we will come to a 'skunk'!" is behind'."

……

On the street, Zhao Chen put away his revolver and long sword, and amidst the wailing of the bandits, he gave Xie's patrol captain his hands and said:
"I have finished enforcing the law, and please ask the Xie family to take care of the aftermath."

The captain of the Xie family looked at the young man in front of him who seemed harmless to humans and animals, and at the horse thieves rolling and howling all over the ground.

He never imagined that Liu Hong, who was considered a little famous in the desert, and his subordinates were picked up by a young man with a sword after only a dozen or so breaths.

Even Liu Hong's famous stunt failed in the end, and he was killed underground.

Moreover, the young man in front of him looked like he was strolling in a garden, as if he hadn't used his full strength at all!
But his swordsmanship seems simple and straightforward, how did he do it?
At this time, Zhao Chen looked meaningfully at a certain restaurant on the street, and thought to himself:
Then Liu Hong was clearly controlled by someone to test me...or the strength of the caravan!
The black silk thread extending from the top of its head converges on that restaurant.
