Chapter 185: One sword can serve as a million troops
Outside the pass, there is a vast expanse of vast plains, a lonely desert, and endless plains. The summer grasslands are dotted with greenery on this desert. The sun is warm, and there is a spring breeze flying outside Yumen Pass.
It was originally a quiet and peaceful situation.
But Feng Ziyue's nose smelled a strong smell of blood.
His six senses were sharp, and the desert was extremely empty. Although it was a hundred miles away, the smell of blood had already reached his nose.
"Bloody smell?"
Wang Biaotou, who was at the side, frowned and sniffed, but couldn't smell anything. "Master Feng, which direction are you in?"
Feng Ziyue looked solemn and pointed forward to the northwest.
"There?"
Captain Wang was shocked, "That's the direction of Baishui Village, the first village outside Yumen Pass! How could it be..."
Outside Yumen Pass, only a hundred miles away, is where Baishui Village is located.
Whether coming in or out of customs, resting in Baishui Village is an inevitable stop for merchants and travelers who travel all year round. The escort team is also planning to stay there, replenish water, exchange some camels, and head into the desert.
go ahead.
For those who leave the customs, Baishui Village is the last distant view of the motherland; for those who enter the customs, Baishui Village represents that they have returned to the embrace of their hometown.
Baishui Village also has a population of hundreds or thousands, and it is located in the best oasis. Businessmen and merchants come and go. Although it is not rich, it can be said to be well-off.
Although it is not safe outside the customs, it is a rule that no one will touch Baishui Village where ancestors have been rooted here for generations.
Because even the most vicious thief needs a place to stay after all.
But now - Feng Ziyue said that there was a strong smell of blood coming from there. What could be going on?
Bouncer Wang's brows furrowed. Could it be that he encountered something unlucky as soon as he left the customs?
He had no doubts about Feng Ziyue's statement, Wei Yaozu's praise, and his ability to defeat Mr. Nangong with one sleeve yesterday, and the escort leader Wang was completely convinced of this fifteen or sixteen year old boy.
"Master Feng...what do you think we should do?"
Unknowingly, Feng Ziyue has become the backbone of a group of people, and a group of people all look to him as their leader.
When encountering this kind of thing, it would be safer to take a detour, but Wang Biaotou himself was unsure and still had to look at Feng Ziyue's intentions.
"Let's go take a look!"
How many people would have to die to achieve such a strong smell of blood?
Feng Ziyue's expression was grim. He couldn't completely ignore it. He had to step forward and take a look.
"Okay, keep moving forward!"
The head escort Wang said hello, and a group of escorts and guards led the camels and drove forward.
After walking for more than an hour, even the executioners could smell the smell of blood in the air. In addition to the strong smell of blood, there was also a faint smell of burning.
In addition to murder, there is also arson!
The expressions of the escorts became more and more solemn.
According to this situation, Baishui Village has really suffered a big disaster!
"Sir..." Wang Biao hesitated for a while. It was an indisputable fact that Baishui Village was robbed. He just didn't know who did it. Now that it has passed, he doesn't know if there will be any danger.
However, Feng Ziyue shook his head and galloped forward. The escort leader Wang had no choice but to command the escort team to follow closely behind.
Fortunately, if it had been done by horse thieves, they would have escaped with a single blow and would not have remained in the village.
When something like this happened, they didn't even bother taking a break for lunch. They just hurried on and finally arrived at Baishui Village in the afternoon.
The former Baishui Village!
Now, it is just a Shura field with black smoke!
Corpses littered the fields, rivers of blood flowed, and smoke was everywhere.
It can simply be said to be a hell on earth!
Baishui Village, which had hundreds of households, was massacred without even a single person alive!
Bouncer Wang's expression changed drastically, "How...how could this happen?"
No matter how ferocious horse thieves are in their plundering, they will not kill the goose to retrieve the eggs and massacre a whole village. After massacring the village, the village will completely disappear and there will be no possibility of plundering again.
No thief with any sense of rationality would do such an inhumane thing.
However, this bloody reality was placed in front of them.
Regardless of whether they were men, women, old, young, or even children of several years old, they were brutally killed and their bodies were thrown on the ground, leaving the grass soaked with blood.
Su Su's face turned pale, she sighed deeply and lowered her head. She seemed to be frightened and did not make any sound.
Feng Ziyue's expression also became extremely grim.
He knelt down, picked up a young child whose body was still intact, and reached out to touch his chest. He felt that his chest was still warm and the blood was still very hot to the touch.
This tragedy happened not long ago, and the murderer is probably not too far away.
Feng Ziyue suddenly stood up.
"Headguard Wang, please bury these corpses, and then send someone to the pass to inform the officials. I'll be back as soon as I go!"
When such a big thing happened, it was natural to always notify the government. Although Baishui Village was outside Yumen Pass, it was also under the jurisdiction of Fufeng Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty.
Most of these corpses have been mutilated and cannot be identified. Now that the weather is hot, the only way to get them buried is as soon as possible.
It's just that he came when he said he wanted to go...
Bouncer Wang was stunned for a moment, "Master Feng, you... where are you going?"
Feng Ziyue's face turned grim, and he looked towards the north with a serious expression, "I'm thinking that those thieves who massacred the village have definitely not gone far yet..."
What he clearly meant was to chase the thieves who massacred the village alone!
Guard Wang was horrified, "Young Master Feng, you can't do that!"
It's not like there are no good players in Baishui Village. The only people nearby who can kill it in one fell swoop are probably the horse thieves Che Dihuo and their gang - that's a horse thieves group with three thousand elite cavalry!
Che Dihuo himself is also a master of martial arts. Those three thousand fine cavalry are all warriors. They come and go freely, and no one in the desert can resist them!
No matter how powerful Feng Ziyue is, he is just one person. How can he be the opponent of these three thousand fine knights?
Feng Ziyue turned a deaf ear to the earnest persuasion of Wang Biaotou. His mind was already filled with anger.
For thirty years, he had been used to seeing life and death, but he still couldn't calm down.
Especially the child's immature body made him furious. What kind of beast could do such atrocities?
As a warrior, death in a fair duel is not a big deal at all.
But these children are helpless, so why are they guilty?
The purpose of martial arts is not to bully the weak, nor to take human life lightly!
Such a warrior is a disgrace among warriors!
He picked up a handful of sand on the ground, put it to his nose, smelled it, raised his eyes, looked in the direction of true north, put his feet a little bit, and flew away like lightning!
Bouncer Wang wants to stop him again, but how can he stop him? He can only watch helplessly as he disappears at the end of the horizon.
"He...he really caught up?"
He looked pale and looked at each other with his bodyguard.
Fengziyue galloped forward, faster than the galloping horse.
He tried his best to use Qinggong and ran to catch up. If someone passed by, he would only see a white shadow flashing past, and his eyes could not catch up with her pace.
The sixth level of innate life is endless, and the power of wind is exerted on the soles of the feet. The speed of this running has exceeded the limit.
If it weren't for his invulnerable body and indestructible state, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the fierce wind coming towards him.
This anger had nowhere to vent, allowing him to develop superhuman speed.
After running for about half an hour, a group of military horses finally appeared in front of them, smoke and dust billowing, and they seemed to be running in a hurry.
After plundering, the horse thief left with satisfaction.
It's a pity that no matter how fast their horses are, they can't match Feng Ziyue's full gallop. The scouts in the rear team just found a strange white shadow chasing after them. Before they could report it, Feng Ziyue had already surpassed this person.
A group of horse thieves stood in front of the three thousand elite cavalry, holding swords and looking cold and stern.
"Who dares to stop my army?"
The leading vanguard rushed forward with a mace. He didn't care who was in front of him. Anyone who dared to block the ground fire army would be crushed!
As he screamed strangely, he galloped forward and hit Feng Ziyue on the head with a stick, intending to smash him to pieces and then use the horse's hooves to crush him!
puff!
Before the mace landed on Feng Ziyue's head, it was cut in half by the sharp sword energy. The armored vanguard and the black horse under his crotch were also divided into two halves!
The galloping horse passed by both sides of Fengziyue with inertia, blood sprayed wildly on the yellow sand, and the two bodies separated and fell to the ground.
But Feng Ziyue still stood quietly on the spot, motionless, and not even a drop of blood was stained on his body.
The power of the sword shocked the whole army!
Che Dihuo raised his hand to signal the entire army to stop.
The three thousand horse thieves stopped all together, and they were not at all confused.
These 3,000 elite cavalrymen were all wearing iron armor, and the horses at their crotches were all extraordinary horses, with no motley colors. They carried out orders and prohibitions, and their weapons were all standard, forming a mighty military might.
Rather than calling them horse thieves, they are an elite army.
The rise of Earth Fire is also a legend in this desert.
Before he was twenty years old, he was just an ordinary horse thief without any martial arts skills. He struggled to make a living in the desert. Once he went to a tribe to steal horses. He was discovered, beaten to death, and thrown into the desert.
I thought I would be unlucky.
Who would have known that more than ten years later, this earthly fire would come back again, and with his martial arts skills, he had already reached the level of a martial master. He first slaughtered the original tribe and avenged his revenge, and then entangled a group of people and became a powerful warrior.
With this elite group of horse thieves, after a few years, they had three thousand elite horsemen who could ride across the desert and no one could match them.
It is extremely strange that the earth fire rises so quickly, but it is located in a remote place in the desert, and not many people care about it. Even the old black sand demon in Devil City did not say anything, and other people in the distant innate secret realm,
As long as it doesn't harm their interests, I won't take any more care.
As for the major secular forces in Guanzhong, if they want to wipe out the Earthly Fire, they will have to pay a huge price. Naturally, no one is rushing to do this kind of thing.
In the cracks, Chedihuo developed to its current scale.
They are ruthless in their methods, killing everyone and not making friends with anyone.
This approach is simply self-destruction. No one understands what such a group of horse thieves who are destined to be destroyed wants?
But Feng Ziyue didn't care at all what they wanted.
He stood coldly in front of these three thousand fine knights, and looked coldly at Che Dihuo, who was riding a huge black horse.
This ferocious leader of the horse thieves is extremely tall and tall. He wears a heavy helmet, which covers most of his face. Only a pair of fiery eyes are exposed. His eyes are full of violence and hatred. It seems that everything in the world belongs to him.
enemies are common.
He was wearing black armor and a black cloak, holding a black sword in his hand and sitting astride the saddle.
"Did you massacre Baishui Village?"
Feng Ziyue asked this question just to confirm. In fact, the property plundered from the horseback and the bloody smell on their armor had already proved this.
The only strange thing is that they didn't take any prisoners, not even a young woman. According to the situation in Baishui Village, it seemed that they were all killed on the spot.
This is not in line with the usual behavior of horse thieves, but this strange group of horse thieves cannot be taken lightly.
Che Dihuo did not answer Feng Ziyue's question.
In other words, the answer is only three words.
"kill him!"
Amidst the roar, about thirty or forty horse thieves from the front team raised their sabers and charged towards Feng Ziyue.
On their faces, there was no trace of fear caused by the vanguard being dismembered just now. They still moved forward bravely to chop off the head of the boy who dared to block the road!
Feng Ziyue held up his sword flatly, and with just a sweep, the sword light flew up, and the dozens of horse thieves who rushed up were beheaded together!
The headless corpse was still rushing forward, but the galloping horses lost control and were frightened again. They flew towards the depths of the desert, leaving only rolling yellow sand and blood stains along the way.
There was a hint of hatred in Che Dihuo's eyes, and he raised his hand again.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Charge forward left and right!"
This group of horse thieves must have undergone rigorous training, and no one felt the slightest fear at all - even when they encountered such a monster-like existence, they still carried out their orders meticulously.
The sound of powerful crossbows sounded, and arrows rained down from the sky. Feng Ziyue sneered, and with a swirl of sword light, all the bows and arrows that hit him were crushed to pieces!
After a round of bows and arrows, two groups of horse thieves charged on the left and right. Unfortunately, Feng Ziyue was still completely helpless. The sword light was brilliant, and every time it flashed, more than a dozen lives were taken away.
In just half a cup of tea, the two groups of charging horse thieves were reduced to panicked galloping horses.
People have all become headless ghosts of resentment!
Che Dihuo's eyes finally narrowed.
Who is this guy?
He took a deep breath, and the momentum in his body suddenly surged, as if his muscles were bulging in a circle, and the remaining horse thieves all reined in their horses and retreated, pulling behind him to form a cone-shaped array!
"You actually have such amazing skills?"
Feng Ziyue stood with his sword in hand, his face darkening involuntarily.
