Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 11 Fierce Battle

These people are quite strong, but with the courtyard wall and the armor-piercing crossbows behind them, blocking them shouldn't be a problem.

He couldn't help but rub his hands together in anticipation.

"Sun Tian, ​​can we shoot down the one on horseback?"

"Sir, it's too far!" Sun Tian whispered.

Lu Ming nodded and did not insist.

Meanwhile, the rest of the bandits were already running towards the courtyard.

Among the group of strong men at the head, two were at the early stage of Bone Forging, and three were at the Body Tempering stage.

"Kill the ones charging ahead first. Tell the brothers that you'll get one tael of silver for every person you kill, and five taels for each of the ones who run away!"

Lu Ming's words energized the dozens of people in the courtyard.

"Just you wait, sir, none of them will escape!"

"Bang! Bang!"

As they were speaking, Sun Tian and his men fired their crossbows.

The two bandits who were just running in the lead, who were in the early stages of Bone Forging, were instantly pinned to the ground.

However, taking advantage of this opportunity, others started using VPNs.

"Swoosh!" Zhang Meng thrust out his spear.

They pierced through a bandit's throat.

Lu Ming glanced at Sun Tian and said, "You're responsible for killing the experts, and pay special attention to that bandit leader!"

After he finished speaking, he jumped straight off the roof.

He raised his knife and began hacking and slashing at the bandits who had climbed over the courtyard wall.

Firelight and the sounds of killing intertwined.

If it were Lu Ming in the past, he might have felt a headache in such a situation.

However, after more than ten battles of Changping...

What he saw in front of him meant nothing at all.

A bandit in the late stage of Body Tempering cut down an old soldier who was blocking his way and jumped into the courtyard.

Lu Ming's longsword had already slashed towards him.

His body moved with the blade, its cold light flashing under the moonlight.

"laugh!"

The moment the other person landed, their sinful life came to an end.

A bloody gash was left on his neck, and his body fell straight to the ground.

However, this is just the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, someone else jumped in, but Lu Ming wielded a long sword that was impervious to water.

His body is as swift as a cheetah.

"boom!"

He leaped up and kicked one of the bandits, sending him tumbling over.

The moment he landed, the long sword was pressed against the other man's neck.

Pull it back, and blood splatters.

He swiftly and decisively dispatched another person, then without turning his head, slashed out with his blade once more.

A bandit who rushed up from behind was slashed in the waist, his internal organs spilling out, and he fell to the ground howling in agony.

This scene was witnessed by nearby veterans, who all showed a hint of awe in their eyes.

In the past, their respect for Lu Ming stemmed from his official rank and the money he offered.

Now, it's because of Lu Ming's skills. They are all veterans who have been on the battlefield, so they can naturally see it.

The methods Lu Ming just used could only be accomplished by someone who has fought dozens of battles.

By now, dozens of people have jumped into the courtyard.

However, thanks to the armor-piercing crossbows, several experts were eliminated, and with the support of these veteran soldiers, they were able to maintain the upper hand for the time being.

Lu Ming, on the other hand, moved like the wind, constantly wielding his sword on the battlefield.

Each time it fell, it was extremely ruthless.

Once a bandit is stabbed, no one can stand up again.

"Lord be careful!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Just as Lu Ming killed a bandit, Sun Tian's voice came from the rooftop.

When he turned his head, he saw a bandit pinned to the ground.

Two of the five crossbow bolts pierced his abdomen simultaneously.

Just as Lu Ming was about to express his gratitude.

Sun Tian's expression changed.

"Sir, the bandit leader is coming!"

The crossbow has just been fired, and it will take some time to reload.

If the bandit leader breaks in, Lu Ming will be the only one who can hold him off.

It turned out that Li Xiong knew there were crossbows in the yard, so he didn't lead the charge in at first.

Instead, he let his subordinates go first.

After killing several people with the crossbow in the first wave, he kept calculating the time it would take to reload the crossbow.

Therefore, the second time, after seeing the crossbow fired.

They rushed forward decisively.

It must be said that this man was quite shrewd to have managed to survive in the Black Mountain for so many years. He was wielding a long, one-handed axe.

As soon as he jumped into the yard, he slashed at Lu Ming.

The axe blade gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

It reflected Li Xiong's ferocious face.

Hearing the sound of something cutting through the air, Lu Ming didn't dare to be careless. He raised his blade and held it above his head.

"boom!"

The two collided, sparking a burst of sparks in the night sky.

Lu Ming could feel the pressure emanating from Li Xiong.

The axe was so heavy that it made his hands feel numb.

Then, that strange feeling I had experienced in the trial scroll reappeared.

Now, he seems to have transformed into a general, with thousands of troops behind him.

A single word can sever rivers and overturn mountains and rivers.

Beneath their feet lay an endless mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

My blood was boiling.

"kill!"

When the angry shout rang out, Li Xiong, who was opposite him, was stunned.

"laugh!"

When Lu Ming's blade sliced ​​across his body.

"what!"

A scream rang out, and then it was seen that Li Xiong had a wound that was cleaved open on his chest, a full foot long.

The flesh rolled out, revealing the deep white bones.

"You've grasped the essence of power. How could someone like you come to Fenglei Town!"

Li Xiong said incredulously.

He turned and tried to run away, something he had never understood in his entire life.

The young man in front of me had already grasped this concept.

How could he not flee?

It can be said that even a Bone Forging Realm cultivator who has grasped the concept of "momentum" in the early stages of the Bone Forging Realm has the power to fight against a Bone Forging Realm cultivator who has not grasped the concept of "momentum" in the late stages.

Besides, it was him.

But having already rushed into the courtyard, how could Lu Ming let him leave so easily?

He immediately drew his sword and went to kill.

However, right now.

"Bang! Bang!"

The sound of a crossbow bolt being fired rang out again.

Just after putting some distance between herself and Lu Ming.

Li Xiong was targeted by Sun Tian, ​​and being injured, he was naturally unable to withstand the attack of five crossbows.

His body was pierced through his ribs and pinned directly to the wall.

Blood flowed from his mouth.

Finally, he breathed his last.

The bandits, who had been so arrogant just moments before, suddenly fled outside after someone shouted something.

Lu Ming didn't care; he would cleave anyone who tried to climb over the wall in half with a single stroke.

However, no one was ordered to chase after them.

When all the bandits in the courtyard were either killed or fled, and things finally quieted down.

The sky was already turning white.

Zhang Meng, clutching his wound and pale-faced, walked over.

He had been slashed in the arm.

Blood kept dripping.

"Sir, twenty-five are dead, five are seriously injured, and the rest have minor injuries."

Zhang Meng's voice was somewhat low.

Although I knew this day would come sooner or later, I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"Bandage your wounds and go order coffins. For the brothers who died, each will receive fifty taels of silver as a resettlement allowance. For those who were seriously injured, twenty taels will be given. Go home and recover first!"

Lu Ming glanced around and said.

His face showed a mixture of sorrow and solemnity.

"My lord, our lives are now yours!"

Zhang Meng knelt down and shouted.

The others also silently knelt down.

At that moment, they felt like human beings again.

At the very least, they were far superior to slaves who cost five taels of silver each.

Lu Ming waved his hand, telling him to get up.

Then, Zhang Meng led his men to order a coffin and went to find a doctor.

Lu Ming then walked towards the backyard.

Xi Rou must have been terribly worried about last night's battle.
