Soon, they saw at least five hundred bandits, riding fast horses, rushing towards the village quickly.

When they saw the smoke rising from the village from a distance, they became even more excited, waving their swords and shouting loudly.

Shangguan Ruoli said: "Looking at their weapons and horses, they are indeed not ordinary gangsters."

Dongming Ziyu nodded and said: "During the war, the remnants of the Sun family took the opportunity to take in the Nanyun soldiers who fled into the mountains and organized them."

Shangguan Ruoli sneered and said, "Hmph, it's true that the centipede insect is dead but not stiff. It won't be exterminated for a while."

Dongming Ziyu said calmly: "It's just a small fight. I'm not afraid that they will come out to make trouble, but I'm afraid that they will lie dormant, recuperate, and become difficult to destroy when they grow stronger."

Shangguan Ruoli snorted coldly, "They wanted to hibernate, but the Sun family is gone and they have no money or food supply, so they can only come out to plunder."

Dongming Ziyu nodded in agreement, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, why did I hear the explosion on the top of the mountain?"

Shangguan Ruoli burst out laughing, "It's Sun's good friend, named Lin Yanyan."

Dongming Ziyu's eyes twitched, "She alone? Can she also control beasts?"

"Smart!" Shangguan Ruoli pecked him on the cheek, "She doesn't know much about anything, but she raises something called a flame bug, which can kill people and set fire to it."

Dongming Ziyu's eyes lit up, "No wonder there were fires in the house for no apparent reason several times. It turned out to be her doing it."

Shangguan Ruoli curled his lips, "I want to save the Sun family, but there is no effective way for so long. I guess other than the flame bug, I don't have any extraordinary abilities."

Dongming Ziyu said calmly: "Don't worry about her, she's just a small follower."

While they were talking, the gangsters had already arrived at the entrance of the village. The killings in the past few days had made them bloodthirsty and arrogant. They had no idea that they would be ambushed.

When the stumbling rope was tightened, the horse neighed and fell to the ground, and the people on the horse fell. However, they were all trained soldiers and got up after a few rolls on the ground without suffering serious injuries.

Shangguan Ruoli's purpose was not to kill them, but to make them abandon their horses and lose the chance of escape.

The gangster shouted angrily, "Damn it, do you think this little trick can stop me?"

Seeing the curling smoke, they concluded that there were common people in the village. These were just tricks played by ignorant people, who thought that a trip rope could stop them.

Then he waved his weapon and shouted angrily: "Kill these unruly people!"

So those horses that were not tripped by the bridles rushed into the village first, followed by the bandits who were thrown off their horses.

In groups of five or six, they rushed into the villagers' yards.

Shangguan Ruoli, who was on the roof, looked at the four gangsters in the yard, drew out his black iron dagger, and whispered: "Let's go! Let's have some fun too."

"Okay!" Dongming Ziyu held her waist, left the roof, and landed behind the gangsters.

The two gangsters walking at the back didn't know what was going on, but their throats were cut by Shangguan Ruoli and Dongming Ziyu, without making a sound.

He put the two gangsters on the ground, jumped up, and after reaching the two gangsters who wanted to enter the house, he used a knife in his hand and used 50% of his internal strength to send them to the west.

Shangguan Ruoli said in a deep voice: "Drag their bodies into the house and don't alert the gangsters who come in next."

As he said that, he bent down and pulled the gangster's neck collar.

But he was pulled back by Dongming Ziyu, "I will do this kind of thing!"

He didn't want to see Shangguan Ruoli touch a man's body, not even a dead one.

One by one, they threw the bodies of the four gangsters into the woodshed, closed the door of the woodshed, and the two found a roof to hide.

The leader of the gangsters was not stupid. When he entered the yard, he found that no one was there. When he came out, he found that his men were missing a lot. He couldn't help but become suspicious, "There is an ambush here! Look who is missing."

The subordinates all looked for people they knew in the crowd, and sure enough they found that there were twenty or thirty people missing.

The leader looked at the house where the smoke was coming from the cooking stove, couldn't help but sneered, and said smartly: "Go to the house with the cooking smoke, grab a few hostages, and force the people hiding in the dark out!"

Little did they know that they were stepping into a death trap, and what awaited them would be the gate of hell.

Shangguan Ruoli whispered to Dongming Ziyu who was standing aside, "Let's follow that leader and look for an opportunity to kill him."

To capture the thief, capture the king first. If the leader dies, the bandits will be in chaos.

Dongming Ziyu had this intention. He nodded and looked at the direction in which the leader was leaving. Then he grabbed Shangguan Ruoli's waist and used Qinggong to move in that direction.

"There's someone over there!" a gangster suddenly shouted.

The person next to him looked in the direction he was pointing and asked in confusion, "Where is it? Don't be so fucking scary!"

The gangster scratched his head and said in confusion, "Hey, I clearly saw someone on the eaves, why are they missing?"

The person next to him looked around again and said disdainfully: "I think you are dazed with fear, right?"

After saying that, he ignored him and walked forward by himself.

He walked to a courtyard door where there was smoke coming from the kitchen, and kicked the door hard. However, the door was only ajar and had no latch at all. He used too much force and fell directly into the courtyard.

"Damn it! Why isn't the door locked?" He cursed and just got up when he felt a pain on his neck.

Realizing what had happened, he wanted to make a sound for help, but all he heard was the sound of blood coming from his mouth, his eyes rolled in despair, and there was no sound at all.

The gangster who was looking at the roof just now chased after him, "Why the hell are you running so fast? Are you rushing to reincarnate?!"

As soon as he entered the yard, Zhui Feng covered his mouth from behind and broke his neck.

Zhui Feng threw the dead gangster to a guard, "Clean up all the corpses and blood stains. I'll go support the masters!"

After saying that, he stepped into the darkness and brought up a gust of cold wind.

Dongming Ziyu hugged Shangguan Ruoli and hid behind a pile of straw in a yard.

Shangguan Ruoli looked at the leader and his six followers, and whispered to Dongming Ziyu on the side: "They all know martial arts and have average skill."

Dongming Ziyu nodded, "I can handle it."

Shangguan Ruoli turned his eyes, had an idea, and whispered: "We need to fight quickly. You sneak attack on the leader, and I will deal with the minions behind him."

Zhui Feng found them and whispered: "Subordinate, please bring them into this courtyard."

Dongming Ziyu nodded. Taking action outside would inevitably alert other gangsters and cause them to swarm in.

Although these people are not necessarily no match for those gangsters, they can save effort and there is no need to go all out.

Zhui Feng only swayed behind the short soil courtyard wall, and the leader noticed him and asked sharply: "Who?"

Zhui Feng would not answer such a stupid question, so he quickly bent down and ducked into the house.
