The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun.

"Ouch, that hurts so much!"

The man clutched his chest and cried out in pain, looking at the man who had just kicked him standing at the door and shouting in shock and anger.

"How dare you!"

"Humph!"

Lin Pingzhi snorted coldly.

"This...this..."

Inside the house, the old man was stunned and speechless.

Jiang Ning got up and walked out.

"Senior brother, let junior brother do this kind of small thing."

Seeing that Jiang Ning was about to make a move, Lin Pingzhi quickly said.

Jiang Ning looked at him and nodded.

"Alright."

At this moment, the bandit also got up, looked at them warily, and then turned and ran to call for help.

He hadn't even seen how Lin Pingzhi kicked him; this guy was tough, he needed to call for backup.

However, he had only run for a short while when suddenly, with a soft "plop," he stopped abruptly. He looked down at his chest and saw a sword tip protruding from it.

puff!

Lin Pingzhi drew his blood-stained sword, and the man fell to the ground.

Linghu Chong and the old man also came out. When they saw this scene, Linghu Chong didn't react much, but the old man was terrified.

"This...this..."

The old man looked at the three of them with a look of horror, especially Lin Pingzhi.

You shouldn't have killed him!

Lin Pingzhi was taken aback.

The old man beat his chest and cried out, "If you don't kill him, at most we'll just have our food stolen. If you kill him, our whole family will be finished!"

When the old man's son came out and saw this scene, he also looked miserable.

Linghu Chong looked at him with a grin: "Old man, how about the three of us brothers help you kill all these bandits?"

The old man stared at him in horror upon hearing this.

"Who...who exactly are you people?"

Seeing how easily he spoke of killing, the old man sensed that these three people were not as simple as they seemed.

Linghu Chong chuckled and said, "We are all good people."

"Isn't he going to the village entrance? Let's go take a look."

Jiang Ning glanced at the corpse, then walked outside.

"Yes, senior brother."

Lin Pingzhi followed.

Seeing the two men walk out, Linghu Chong said to the old man and his son, "Old man, you two come along too."

After saying that, Linghu Chong followed. The old man and his son exchanged glances, both of them seeing the other's fear and dread, but they had no choice but to follow.

It was already quite late, but the village entrance was bustling with people, and more than twenty men on horseback, brandishing knives, were shouting sternly at the villagers.

"We really have no food left."

An old man was pleading with one of the bandits. The old man was the village chief, and the bandit was their leader.

Upon hearing this, the bandit leader's face hardened, and he immediately put a knife to the bandit's neck.

"I don't care about all that. If you don't hand over the grain, I'll massacre your entire village."

Upon hearing this, many villagers were so frightened that they kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Boss, almost everyone in the village has arrived."

One of the bandits said to his leader.

At this moment, several hundred villagers were standing at the village entrance.

The leader nodded at the villagers, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Where did one of our men go?"

Upon hearing this, the bandit looked around and turned to say, "Boss, Xiao Liu hasn't arrived yet."

The leader yelled, "Where is he? Where the hell is he?"

The bandit said, "He went to the west side of the village to call the villagers there."

Upon hearing this, the leader pointed his knife at the villagers.

"Any of you living in the west of the village? Have you seen us brothers?"

The crowd panicked and no one spoke.

"Oh shit."

The leader cursed and was about to make an example of someone, but suddenly stopped as several people walked in from the west of the village.

"Ok?"

The leader exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the clothes and appearances of Jiang Ning and the other two.

"Where are you from? You're not from this village, are you? You're from the west side of the village, where are our brothers?"

Upon seeing so many bandits, the old man and his son turned pale with fright, before they could even reply.

"kill."

Jiang Ning looked at these people expressionlessly and uttered a single word.

Whoosh!

Lin Pingzhi drew his sword and charged forward.

when!when!when!

Several sounds of weapons striking each other rang out, accompanied by three screams, and three bandits fell from their horses and lay motionless.

The other bandits were shocked when they saw this.

The leader roared, "Damn it, who dared to kill our men? Chop him up!"

The remaining bandits charged toward Lin Pingzhi.

Lin Pingzhi drew his sword and charged forward.

when!

With a side slash, Lin Pingzhi dodged and sliced ​​through the throat, instantly killing one person.

when!when!when!

Lin Pingzhi moved with unpredictable speed, weaving through the bandits and killing several people in the blink of an eye.

puff!

Lin Pingzhi pierced the heart with his sword, then withdrew it and retreated. A gust of wind swept behind him, but Lin Pingzhi didn't turn his head. He retreated rapidly, and at the same time, he twisted his wrist, changing his grip from a normal to a reverse grip, and thrust the sword backward, piercing the chest of the person behind him.

puff!

Lin Pingzhi drew his sword, drawing out drops of blood. A few drops of blood splashed onto his face, adding a touch of eeriness to his handsome features.

The bandits behind him fell to the ground.

Everyone was shocked, especially the remaining bandits. They never expected that Lin Pingzhi, who looked like a woman, could kill so ruthlessly, killing them like chickens and dogs.

The remaining bandits fled in terror.

Just as Lin Pingzhi was about to give chase, Jiang Ning, who hadn't made a move yet, kicked out a dozen pebbles that flew with a whooshing sound.

puff!puff!puff!

One muffled thud after another rang out, and the bandits who had been fleeing on horseback fell one after another, twitching a few times before going still.

Only one bandit was hit in the shoulder; the force of the blow knocked him to the ground, where he rolled and screamed in pain.

"Ouch."

The bandit clutched his shoulders and cried out in pain.

Seeing so many bandits fall, the villagers were in a panic. Only Linghu Chong, Lin Pingzhi, and the old man and his family who were hosting them understood what had happened.

The old man stared in horror at Jiang Ning and the other two. He hadn't expected these three seemingly harmless men to be so ruthless, especially Jiang Ning, who hadn't even lifted a finger, just kicked the ground, and the bandits were dead.

Linghu Chong looked at Jiang Ning with surprise.

Jiang Ning's move just now really surprised him.

Yue Buqun had told them before that Taoist internal energy could be so profound that even falling flowers and plucking leaves could injure people. However, achieving mastery of internal energy was not so simple. But Jiang Ning's performance just now clearly showed that his internal energy had reached this level.

Linghu Chong thought about it for a moment and realized he couldn't do it.

However, he didn't care. It was common knowledge that Jiang Ning was highly skilled in martial arts, and his internal strength was so profound that few people in the world could compare to him.

"Oh? There's still one alive?"

Linghu Chong noticed a bandit in the distance still crying out in pain.

The other bandits died from stones embedded in the back of their heads, but this bandit was injured in the shoulder. This was not Jiang Ning's mistake, but rather because he wanted to keep one alive for questioning.

"I'll go ask."

As soon as Linghu Chong stepped forward, before he could even ask a question, he saw that the bandit who had been screaming in pain was now motionless. Linghu Chong looked over and saw that blood was flowing from his seven orifices and that he had a look of terror on his face.

Linghu Chong raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Oh? You scared me to death?"

Linghu Chong scoffed and turned back, laughing as he walked, "Don't be afraid, everyone, these bandits are all dead."
