After Li Muchan passed on the secret technique, he left Taibai Village in a daze under the astonished eyes of everyone, rode on Red Shadow, and disappeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
Everyone followed Fan Peiyao, watched him leave, and then looked at Fan Peiyao.
Fan Peiyao ignored everyone's doubts, waved her hands and said calmly: "Let's go."
Everyone sighed helplessly, full of unwillingness, but they did not dare to go against it. They could only leave in frustration, and everyone went back to what they were doing.
Fan Peiyao was extremely majestic and skillful in controlling her subordinates. They did not look down upon her because she was a young woman. She swept through the twelve villages around her like a wind and a lingering cloud, something even a man could not do.
The next day, a middle-aged man came from outside Taibai Village. He was thin and slender. He stroked his beard under his chin with one hand and held his other hand behind his back. He stood outside the village with an elegant demeanor.
He announced his name as Zhang, and soon Fan Peiyao came out to greet him in person surrounded by people.
Everyone was surprised and wondered who this person was. To be welcomed personally by the leader of the village, his identity must be very important. Yesterday a monk came, and today a middle-aged man came. They were really curious.
But Fan Peiyao didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to ask more questions, lest they suffer again.
Judging from the village owner's affectionate gesture, he took the middle-aged man's hand and went in. This must be a relative or elder of the village owner, and he should not be offended.
Fan Peiyao pulled the middle-aged man into the hall, waved her hands, and everyone dispersed.
"Sister Zhang!" Fan Peiyao pulled the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that we would meet here. What a wonderful thing in the world."
The middle-aged man stroked his beard and smiled: "Sister Fan, what a coincidence."
His voice was slightly hoarse and could not be distinguished from male to female. It was magnetic and very comfortable to listen to.
Fan Peiyao asked: "Master, has he set off?"
The middle-aged man nodded, his eyes twinkling, and sighed: "I heard that I would leave today, but I left too hastily this time."
He was of course played by Zhang Jinglan, who made up as a middle-aged man. He was lifelike and flawless. It was obviously not the first time he had done this.
She has been able to avoid the Heavenly Demon Sect for so long, so she naturally knows these basic methods very well.
"I don't know if anything will happen." Fan Peiyao sighed.
Zhang Jinglan shook his head and smiled: "It doesn't matter, he is very capable, no one can kill him."
Li Muchan was able to hurt his master. In her eyes, he was almost invincible. For such a master, no one could kill him no matter how many people there were.
Fan Peiyao sighed: "Although his martial arts skills are strong, the battlefield is different from fighting in the martial arts. There are too many people, and if you are not careful, a cold arrow can kill you."
Zhang Jinglan shook his head and smiled: "That is an ordinary martial arts master. Mingkong's martial arts skills are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Don't worry!"
"That's all we can do..." Fan Peiyao sighed, frowning.
The sound of horse hoofs rumbled, the ground trembled, and yellow smoke billowed. More than two hundred knights galloped on their horses. They were all dressed in black armor and looked so powerful. They were so frightened that the surrounding birds and beasts flew away and fled in panic.
In front of the knights, one mile away, seven people, Li Muchan and Zhao Shengli, were riding on horseback. A strong wind was blowing in their faces. They were riding on the horse with their eyes looking forward like eagles or falcons.
Li Muchan was riding on the red shadow, located in the middle of the seven people, with a leisurely and contented expression, which was completely opposite to the nervousness of the seven Zhao Shengli.
Chi Ying was also very leisurely, snorting from time to time and trotting with hoofs, a bit careless, which made Zhao Shengli and others laugh.
Feng Dakun and Li Baolu were at the front, Zhao Shengli and Xiong Sihai were next to him, and Cai Yuzhang and Xiaohe Laoma were at the back. The eight people were divided into three rows, separated by more than ten meters.
Zhao Shengli sighed: "Mingkong, I don't know what can be done in a hurry. This damn rush is really going to cost us our lives!"
Li Muchan opened his eyes and smiled: "Zhao Tou, it should be soon."
Zhao Shengli snorted dissatisfied: "The way we are moving is weird! ... Obviously we can go straight diagonally to get there the fastest, but we have to go to the far north first and then go east!"
Li Muchan smiled and said nothing. He looked up at the sky and saw two eagles circling high in the sky.
Zhao Shengli suddenly lowered his voice, looked around, and whispered: "In my opinion, Captain Zuo is stalling for time. Try to get there as late as possible!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Not necessarily. It makes sense for Captain Zuo to be like this. We know very little information and our eyes are darkened. We can only obey orders and don't care about so much!"
"Okay!" Zhao Shengli sighed helplessly.
Everyone in the Xiaoqi camp knew about Li Muchan's abilities. It was just because he made mistakes and owed too many debts that he accomplished a lot but could not be promoted.
But the army already respects the strong. Although Li Muchan is a small soldier, everyone does not regard him as such.
His team was sent out to explore the road, and they were relieved.
There was a goshawk in Li Muchan's sky, but he never used it. When his eyes were slightly closed, everything within ten miles appeared in his mind. He had six heart beads, which greatly increased his thoughts.
Therefore, he looked relaxed, not nervous or in a hurry, but it was too unbelievable to say such a thing and would only cause trouble, so he simply was lazy and did not tell the others.
Moreover, once you tell them, they will become dependent, lazy, degrade themselves, and it will be harmful. On the battlefield, you have to keep an eye on all directions, hear all directions, and be alarmed at the slightest sign of trouble.
They walk at the front and report immediately if something happens. If nothing happens, they report back once an hour, which is very leisurely.
They were much more brisk than traveling with the crowd, and they enjoyed this mission very much.
At noon that day, the sun was high in the sky, shining directly on the earth.
Li Muchan and his group passed through a prairie and gradually saw the fields. It was obvious that there would be people there soon. At this time, Li Muchan's expression suddenly changed.
He sat up straight, and his leisurely expression suddenly darkened.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Shengli was beside him and asked hurriedly when he saw this.
Li Muchan's face was as dark as water: "Zhao Tou, let's speed up, there are people from Dong Chu ahead!"
"How much?" Zhao Shengli asked hurriedly.
"Forty or fifty!" Li Muchan frowned and said solemnly: "They are massacring the village!"
Zhao Shengli's expression changed: "Grandma's, massacre of the village?!"
Li Muchan nodded: "Look over there!"
The other people had stopped and looked in the direction he was pointing. There was faint black smoke and they couldn't see clearly. Without Li Muchan's guidance, they wouldn't have noticed. However, Li Muchan pointed out that they noticed something strange first.
"Li Zi, go quickly and notify Captain Hu!" Zhao Shengli waved his hand hurriedly.
Li Baolu responded quickly: "Okay!"
He rode away, and Zhao Shengli asked: "Monk, what do you think we should do?"
Li Muchan's face was as dark as water and he said in a deep voice: "Rush up and kill them!"
"Okay!" Zhao Shengli nodded vigorously and said bitterly: "Grandma, they all say that the people of Dongchu are cruel, I want to see it this time!"
Xiong Sihai hesitated: "Great monk, Zhao Tou, why don't we wait a moment?"
Seven people fighting against forty or fifty people. Even though Li Muchan was strong in martial arts, it was still too risky. It would be better to have a large group of people from behind and fight together to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Li Muchan nodded: "Yes, that makes sense, Zhao Tou, please wait a moment and I'll go take a look!...Give me two pots of arrows!"
Zhao Shengli hurriedly said: "Monk, let's go together!"
Li Muchan waved his hand and took the arrow pot from Xiong Sihai and Feng Dakun: "It's enough to distract them so that they don't have time to kill. ... With Chi Ying here, they can't hurt me. If we work together, it will be a burden."
,Ok, deal!"
After that, without waiting for Zhao Shengli to speak, he slapped the red shadow, and the red shadow hissed, suddenly turned into an arrow, rushed out, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a small black dot.
They were stunned. Although they knew that Chiying was fast, they didn't expect that Chiying could run so fast. Chiying had been practicing internal skills. Because he was simple-minded and focused on one thing, he entered the realm quickly. His speed doubled, which was ridiculously fast.
,incredible.
The red shadow was very fast, galloping as much as it wanted, and let out a long, loud hiss, expressing its joy. These days, it was really suffocated and couldn't run as much as it wanted. It was so suffocated.
Li Muchan was so anxious that he saw a small village in the distance with thick smoke and screams. He looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, like rolling thunder.
The red shadow turned into a shadow and arrived in front of the small village in a blink of an eye. At this moment, there were already more than a dozen riders standing outside the small village, blocking the only path of the small village from a distance.
If you want to enter the small village, you can only force your way through, there is no other way.
Li Muchan glanced at them and saw that these people were wearing gray light armor and had strange looks. They had long noses and deep eyes. The color of their eyes was brown or blue.
Li Muchan was startled for a moment. He didn't expect the people of Dong Chu to look like this. He thought they were the same as Western Zhao and similar to Dayan.
Unexpectedly, the Dongchu people and the Dayan people looked completely different and were actually two different races.
"Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!..." Arrows were like flying locusts. Li Muchan shot out one after another. A dozen people were stunned, their bodies flew up, and they landed screaming.
They were preparing to rush towards Li Muchan, but they didn't expect that their bows and arrows could reach him from such a distance.
Li Muchan kept galloping and rushed over. A dozen knights were lying on the ground with arrows in their shoulders. Red Shadow suddenly jumped up, jumped ten meters in the air, directly stepped over them, and entered the village.
Thick smoke was billowing in the village, burning everywhere, and screams, begging for mercy, curses, and laughter were all mixed together, like hell.
There was blood everywhere on the street. Some old people had their heads disfigured, some children were thrown to death, and women were naked and their death was even worse.
Li Muchan's face was gloomy, he jumped up, closed his eyes, and flew like a big bird. While in the air, he kept drawing his bow and shooting arrows. The long arrows seemed to have eyes, and they penetrated into the bodies of the Dongchu people one by one.
The village was not big, but Li Muchan was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he had rushed from the south end to the north end, sparing no one from Dongchu.
His arrows were far and accurate, just like an adult hitting a child. They had no power to fight back. Before they noticed Li Muchan, the arrow had already arrived.
Li Muchan closed his eyes and looked down with the eyes of the void. No one from Dong Chu slipped through the net.
When Zhao Shengli and others rushed to the small village, all the Dongchu people in the village were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, but they were not killed. Seeing the tragic situation in the village, Li Muchan didn't want them to die so easily.
Such a brutal and inhumane massacre, in the face of the slaughter of the weak, in his opinion, there is no humanity, killing them with one arrow is too cheap.
More than two hundred knights came to the small village. When they saw the tragic situation in the village, their eyes widened and turned blood red. They looked at the Dongchu people lying on the ground and wanted to tear them alive.
Captain Hu stood in front of the crowd wearing iron armor, his face was as sinking as water, his face was as cold as ice, and he almost blended into the armor, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other.
Li Muchan floated over and saw Captain Hu, with a heavy expression on his face: "Captain, no one has escaped the net, they are all inside, please save them."
Captain Hu: "Song Shiqi, take a hundred people to rescue people! ...Ye Wuhen, take a hundred people to get these Dongchu bastards over!"
"Yes!" The two people stood up and responded loudly with fists clasped.
One of the two men was Song Shiqi, a tall and burly man with a fair face and a beardless face. The other was Ye Wuhen, a stout and short man with a rugged face. Both of them were brigade commanders, each commanding hundreds of men.
Two groups of people quickly got into the small village. Ye Wuhen's group was the fastest. One person dragged a Dongchu soldier out and threw it to the end of the village, then returned and continued to look for it.
In the blink of an eye, forty or fifty Dongchu people were thrown together, making muffled groans. The arrows hit their collarbones and they could not move.
Another team entered the village to search and rescue, but it took a long time and only a dozen people were rescued in the end. Li Muchan arrived too late and the massacre came to an end.
Since everyone came over, Li Muchan has remained silent, standing under a big locust tree, looking into the distance, as motionless as a statue.
Everyone did not disturb him, but when they came to his side, they moved lightly for fear of interrupting his meditation.
Lieutenant Hu came to him and sighed: "Mingkong, can't you bear it?"
Li Muchan turned around with a heavy expression on his face: "Captain, I never thought that the darkness of human nature could reach such an extent...it's unimaginable!"
"In wars, it is the common people who always suffer!" Hu Duwei shook his head and sighed.
Li Muchan said: "Is it possible that they have lost their humanity?"
"Human nature?" Hu Duwei shook his head mockingly: "Even if you have humanity, after killing a few times, your humanity will be worn away, and you only know how to kill!"
Li Muchan said: "So you can't blame them?"
Captain Hu shook his head: "They killed our people, so of course they want revenge!"
"What do you want the captain to do with them?" Li Muchan pointed at those people and asked, his eyes shining brightly.
Captain Hu asked: "What do you think?"
"Decapitated by a thousand cuts!" Li Muchan said coldly.
"Well, let's do it!" Captain Hu nodded.
He patted Li Muchan on the shoulder and sighed: "This is the first time I've seen you. I've seen this situation many times. Life and death, it's not a big deal."
Li Muchan suppressed the boiling anger in his heart and said slowly: "If we can't protect the people, what use are we soldiers?"
"Alas..." Lieutenant Hu patted him on the shoulder, sighed, and shook his head: "Who among you doesn't want to protect the people? Unfortunately, the world is often cruel and people are weak."
Li Muchan remained silent. Although the defeat of Shenguang Battalion resulted in the loss of troops, the most casualties were not the soldiers, but the common people. It was these unarmed common people.
Seeing them being slaughtered like this, Li Muchan's anger boiled over and turned into a rage that could hardly be suppressed.
Thanks to his deep concentration, he was able to hold down the violent energy soaring into the sky and prevent it from controlling him. Otherwise, all the Dongchu people would have been killed in just a short time.
Lieutenant Hu shouted loudly: "Come here, chop these Dongchu bastards into pieces with a thousand knives and cut off their heads!"
Everyone agreed with a roar, stepped forward one after another, picked up the Dongchu Knight, and cut it off like a fish, and screams could not be heard.
Li Muchan was not interested, so he turned around and stopped looking, muttering to himself a Buddhist sutra. It was the Ksitigarbha Sutra, and he truly saw that human nature is like a ghost realm.
Zhao Shengli came to his side and sighed: "Monk, this is a war. People will always die. If you don't want to die, just keep winning the war. Don't let the Dongchu brats come to our place to run wild!"
Li Muchan stopped chanting and hummed in a deep voice: "Slaughter the people and destroy humanity!"
Zhao Shengli snorted: "These Dongchu people are not good people. They deliberately want to destroy our Dayan. They will kill people if they can. They wish they could kill all the people in our Dayan!"
Li Muchan said: "From this point of view, only one of Dayan and Dongchu can survive alone."
Zhao Shengli said: "Yes, if we don't destroy them, they will destroy us. We in Dayan believe in morality and justice, but Dong Chu has no such idea!"
Li Muchan remained silent and lowered his head to chant the sutra again. The sound of the sutra spread slowly, like pearls and jade, and the sound penetrated directly into his ears.
After a while, their moods calmed down, and the bloody aura was gone, and they became calm. They looked down and killed the Dongchu people with one knife.
"Take the head with you!" Captain Hu glanced at Li Muchan and shouted.
Everyone obeyed the order and cut off the heads of the Dongchu people one after another, hung them on the saddles, then buried the bodies and rode away. This had been delayed for an hour.
Later on the road, they encountered three more such incidents. The Dongchu people massacred the people without mercy, and Li Muchan did not show mercy either. He always rushed to the forefront, getting ahead of everyone and killing everyone cleanly.
Along the way, there were nearly two hundred people killed by his arrows, about the same number as their battalion.
At the beginning, Li Muchan was very angry and violent. Later, he became a little numb and started killing people as calmly as stepping on an ant.
The way Captain Hu and the others looked at Li Muchan changed somewhat. Although they thought he was powerful, he never thought that he was so powerful that one person was worth an entire battalion.
Killing people is like killing chickens. It is easier for him to kill people than to kill chickens.
