Apprenticeship at Qingcheng Mountain, Senior Brother Yu Canghai

Chapter 288 Killing the Four Bandits

"Can you give me some time to think about it?"

Lu Miaozi said to Chu Yuan.

"can."

Chu Yuan nodded.

After all, this is not something that can be decided overnight.

"Master Qingyang can stay at Pegasus Ranch for a while."

Lu Miaozi said.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Chu Yuan agreed.

This matter cannot be rushed.

……

that's it.

Chu Yuan and his group stayed temporarily at Pegasus Ranch.

After just going through a great battle, Pegasus Ranch also needed to rely on Chu Yuan's reputation to intimidate the four bandits who had ill intentions towards Pegasus Ranch. Therefore, Pegasus Ranch was very welcoming to Chu Yuan and others. The owner Shang Xiuxun specially arranged accommodation for Chu Yuan and others.

In fact, Chu Yuan’s reputation was indeed great. After Chu Yuan came to Pegasus Ranch, the four major bandits completely suspended their attacks on Pegasus Ranch and instead focused on attacking the villa.

However, Chu Yuan suspected that this matter had nothing to do with him.

It may be related to another person on their trip.

During the time Chu Yuan lived in Pegasus Ranch, he often visited Lu Miaozi at her residence and learned about the "Yang Gong Treasure House" from her.

Lu Miaozi was known as the most versatile person in the world, and was well versed in the principles of Buddhism and Taoism.

He also asked Chu Yuan for advice on Taoist classics.

What surprised Lu Miaozi was that although Chu Yuan was young, he was very proficient in Taoist scriptures, no less than his other best friend.

The Taoist master "Sanren" Ning Daoqi, one of the three great masters in the world.

Perhaps it was because Chu Yuan was a young master who had recently become famous in the martial arts world, or it might be that Chu Yuan's appearance broke the siege of Pegasus Ranch. The owner of the ranch, Shang Xiuxun, had a very good impression of Chu Yuan and wanted to make friends with him.

But the problem is that during the time Chu Yuan was at Pegasus Ranch, she became very close to her father Lu Miaozi, which made Shang Xiuxun somewhat dissatisfied with Chu Yuan and she rarely showed up.

Chu Yuan didn't care. After all, he came to Pegasus Ranch just for the map of "Yang Gong's Treasure House".

About half a month passed like this, and Lu Miaozi finally thought it through.

This day.

in the cabin.

Chu Yuan and Lu Miaozi sat again at the table where they had sat half a month ago.

"Master Qingyang, I have thought it through."

Lu Miaozi looked at Chu Yuan and said.

After careful consideration during this period of time, he decided to agree to Chu Yuan's proposal.

The hostility of the four bandits towards Pegasus Ranch is not a coincidence. The reason why they have not taken any action since half a month ago is simply because Taoist Qingyang and his party are still in Pegasus Ranch.

Once Chu Yuan and his group leave Pegasus Ranch, Pegasus Ranch will be attacked by the four major bandits again.

And just recently, news came.

Duba Villa suffered heavy losses under the siege of four bandits.

If the four major bandits are not dealt with, neither the villa nor the Pegasus Ranch will have peace.

"Oh?"

Chu Yuan sat upright and looked at Lu Miaozi.

"I am willing to agree to the suggestion made by Taoist Qingyang before. I will give you the blueprint of Yang Gong's treasure house, and you will help Pegasus Ranch kill the four major bandits."

Lu Miaozi looked at Chu Yuan and said.

"Senior, you made up your mind so quickly, could it be that something unexpected has happened again?"

Chu Yuan asked Lu Miaozi.

Lu Miaozi smiled bitterly and said, "Pegasus Ranch and Duba Villa in Jingling are interdependent and support each other. During the period when the four bandits gave up attacking Pegasus Ranch, they joined forces and attacked Duba Villa with all their strength, encroaching on the surrounding towns and villages. Pegasus Ranch suffered heavy losses in the last war and is unable to support Duba Villa. If this continues, Duba Villa will probably be conquered by the four bandits in no time. Once Duba Villa is destroyed by the four bandits, their next target will be Pegasus Ranch."

Chu Yuan looked at Lu Miaozi and smiled, "Then let's have a happy cooperation."

It seems that the existence of the four bandits has indeed put tremendous pressure on Lu Miaozi and Pegasus Ranch. For the safety of her daughter Shang Xiuxun and Pegasus Ranch, Lu Miaozi finally couldn't help but compromise.

"It seems that my decision not to kill the four bandits was the right one."

Chu Yuan said in his heart.

"Pleasant to work with."

Lu Miaozi looked at Chu Yuan and said.

As he spoke, he reached out from his bosom and took out a scroll: "This is the map of Yang Gong's Treasury. I can give it to you at any time. When can you kill the four great bandits?"

Chu Yuan said: "Tell me the location of the four bandits, I can kill them at any time."

Lu Miaozi said: "According to the information obtained by Pegasus Ranch, the four major bandits are currently outside Jingling City and are besieging Jingling City."

Chu Yuan asked: "How many miles is Jingling from here?"

Lu Miaozi said, "About three or four hundred miles away, southwest of Pegasus Ranch."

Chu Yuan took a look at the sky outside and found that the sun was rising. It was still early.

Chu Yuan turned around and said, "One day, give me one day, I will be back before the sun sets."

After saying that, he performed the light skill "Xiao Yao You" and disappeared in Lu Miaozi's house as if teleporting.

His afterimage could be vaguely seen, but it disappeared completely as he left the cabin.

"No wonder he was able to survive Zhu Yuyan's pursuit. His Qinggong skills alone are unique in the world. I'm afraid even the three great masters may not be able to match him."

Looking at the direction where Chu Yuan disappeared, Lu Miaozi sighed.

Because Chu Yuan did not show off his lightness skill when he attacked before, but relied on his invulnerable body-protecting qi, Lu Miaozi did not know that Chu Yuan's lightness skill was so advanced.

……

After leaving the wooden house where Lu Miaozi lived.

Chu Yuan was unaware of anything and walked on the dangerous terrain on both sides of Pegasus Ranch as if it were flat ground.

Soon he climbed up the straight cliff and quickly left Pegasus Ranch.

After leaving Pegasus Ranch, Chu Yuan recognized the southwest direction where Duba Villa was located. Then he moved as fast as a ghost, disappearing in one place and appearing in the next place, quickly approaching the direction of Duba Villa.

Two hours later, Chu Yuan gradually saw a large battlefield with crisscrossing rivers and lakes.

On this battlefield, two forces are fighting.

One of the parties was the group of thieves dressed in black who were the four major bandits that we had seen at Pegasus Ranch half a month ago.

The other party was wearing yellow shirts and iron armor, looking like a soldier, and should be the one dominating the villa. Along the way, whether in the villages or the county, we could see traces of fighting between the two sides.

Corpses were thrown randomly on the streets, bloodstains were everywhere, and in many places the streets were deserted, most shops were closed, and there were pedestrians passing by in a hurry. It was a doomsday scene with the city about to fall and people in panic.

Chu Yuan quickly passed by the villages, towns and cities and headed straight for Jingling City where Duba Villa was located.

Soon he arrived outside Jingling City. Compared with the previous small-scale fighting, the war outside Jingling City before him was a large-scale war.

The bandits under the four major bandits got siege equipment from somewhere, and like ants, they used ladders to charge towards the walls of Jingling.

On the walls of Jingling, there were also defenders wearing armor, who were overturning the ladders that the four major bandits had used to climb up the walls, or fighting with the bandits who had climbed up the walls.

It's just that the four major bandits' subordinates are all a motley crowd and are of no use, and only a few of them can actually attack the city walls.

Every time they were repelled by the defenders on the city wall, it took them a long time to organize the next siege.

Eighty thousand bandits is not a small number. Although only half of them are attacking Jingling City here, it is still extremely shocking.

You should know that Jingling City is not a big city.

"The four great bandits should be around here."

After arriving at Jingling City, Chu Yuan, with sharp eyes, searched for the figures of the four major bandits among the group of thieves who were attacking them.

Chu Yuan has cultivated his soul into the Nascent Soul state. His senses are now very sharp, and he has acquired some incredible magical powers and abilities.

"found it."

A gleam of light flashed in Chu Yuan's eyes, and he looked in one direction.

This feeling is difficult to describe. It is a state of clarity that allowed him to find the four major bandits among tens of thousands of people in just a short moment.

……

"Big Brother, Second Brother, I heard that you suffered a crushing defeat at Pegasus Ranch. Is Taoist Qingyang really that powerful?"

A big man with a tumor on his forehead, two maces crossed on his back, and a face full of flesh, was standing on a higher mound among the group of bandits with three other people, looking at the group of bandits who were attacking Jingling City not far away.

He was Fang Jianding, one of the four great bandits, who was known in the martial arts world as the one who "will not spare any chicken or dog".

"More than just powerful, I think his martial arts skills are even as good as the three great masters. If it weren't for my elder brother saving me this time, I would have died in his hands."

A fat man with a short stature, short arms and legs, a protruding belly, and a flat head that seemed to grow directly from his fat shoulders. He looked frightened.

This person had a pair of eyes that seemed to be permanently narrowed, but they were sparkling with a bright and evil blue glow.

It makes people realize that he is not only a master with superb internal skills, but also takes a strange path.

In each hand he held a gleaming silver steel ring with sharp teeth on the edge, which made people feel that he was more dangerous and mysterious.

This person is the second of the four major bandits, Xiang Batian, who "leaves no grass growing".

There was a bandage of white cloth wrapped around his neck, and the sword marks on it were caused by Chu Yuan using the "Male and Female Dragon and Tiger Sword".

"We can't deal with Taoist Qingyang. You have to avoid him when you see him next time. Do you understand?"

A middle-aged man with a sturdy figure, a pair of big ears, deep wrinkles on his forehead, high cheekbones and sunken cheeks, eyes that seem half open and half closed, holding a spear made of fine steel in his left hand, which seems to weigh at least forty or fifty kilograms. He looks a bit like an old scholar.

This person is none other than Cao Yinglong, the leader of the four great bandits known as "Ghosts Crying and Gods Howling".

"why?"

He was tall and thin, looked like a scholar, had a moustache on his lips, a whisk stuck on his back, and was dressed in a weird way. "Scorched Earth Thousand Miles", who ranked third among the four major bandits, said in a somewhat unconvinced manner.

"That's right. In the past, others have always avoided us four bandits. There has never been a precedent of us four bandits avoiding others."

"No one will be left alive," Fang Jianding said unconvinced.

Cao Yinglong was about to speak when the next moment a sense of threat that made his hair stand on end suddenly appeared in his heart.

"not good……"

Cao Yinglong's face changed.

But before he could remind him, the next moment the second one in front of him turned into a dead body, Xiang Batian, with his head separated from his body, and his head flew to the side, blood spurting out. Before Xiang Batian's eyes, which were filled with a strange blue light, quickly went out, his eyes were still filled with confusion and puzzlement, and he died.

Until his death, he never found out who killed him!

Seeing that the second brother Xiang Batian, who was saved by him half a month ago, finally died in front of him, Cao Yinglong asked angrily: "Who is it?"

"First!"

A calm and familiar voice sounded not far away.

Then Cao Yinglong, Fang Jianding and Mao Zao saw that a young Taoist priest, like a ghost, took a step and was already twenty feet away, quickly approaching the mound where the three of them were.

"It's Taoist Qingyang!"

Cao Yinglong's face changed drastically.

In that hasty fight half a month ago, he was already frightened by Chu Yuan's strength.

"Take him down, take him down, don't let him get near us."

Cao Yinglong immediately gave the order.

Before they even started fighting, one of the four of them was killed by a group of thieves under their command.

Cao Yinglong didn't even dare to imagine the consequences of letting Chu Yuan get closer.

Following Cao Yinglong's order.

The surrounding bandits received the order and quickly surrounded and killed Chu Yuan who was rapidly approaching Cao Yinglong and the other two.

Chu Yuan didn't care and continued to approach Cao Yinglong and the other two calmly and quickly.

A platinum-colored light lit up in the lower dantian of his body. Under the reflection of this platinum-colored light, his whole body was shining, like an immortal descending to the earth.

The weapons of the surrounding bandits that were attacking Chu Yuan were all bounced back. Chu Yuan walked along without any weapons being able to harm him. Even among the millions of bandits, he was able to forge a path through them, as if he was invulnerable to any attack.

This is the upgraded version of the protective qi that Chu Yuan developed after he became a golden elixir.

Compared with the previous protective qi of "Nine Heavens Qi", it is much more exquisite. Once it is used, it is not only invulnerable to swords and spears, but also indestructible. Neither water nor fire can hurt it.

Last time, because the four bandits were attacked and were completely unprepared, it was not difficult, so Chu Yuan did not use it.

This time, he was killing four bandits among millions of thieves, which was considered a breakthrough, so Chu Yuan simply took out his best skills.

"Master Qingyang, I want to see how strong you are!"

Fang Jianding had never witnessed Chu Yuan's power with his own eyes, but he felt that Chu Yuan's reputation was just heard. He felt a little unconvinced, and his energy scattered. The two maces behind him were knocked off by him. He turned around, took the two maces in his hands, and waved them at Chu Yuan who was approaching quickly.

Chu Yuan was too lazy to say more. At this moment, he was only thirty feet away from the remaining three bandits.

He saw his five energies circulating, lightning flashed brightly in the palm of his right hand, and he performed the "Five Thunder Method". The palm wind carried the lightning and flew straight towards Fang Jianding.

"Break it on me!"

Fang Jianding saw this scene and realized that Chu Yuan's palm was no trivial matter, so he roared angrily.

He immediately circulated his true Qi throughout his body, and jumped up from the spot. He danced the two maces in his hands like wheels, carrying a tremendous force, and smashed towards Chu Yuan's palm wind.

boom!
The sound of thunder and lightning resounded outside Jingling City. Fang Jianding flew out from his original position. The two maces were completely destroyed. The iron pieces scattered everywhere, breaking through the air with a sound, piercing everything around.

Many of the bandits under the command of the four major bandits had low martial arts skills and were affected, with countless casualties and wailing.

Fang Jianding's body fell to the ground!

One of the four great bandits, Fang Jianding died!
