Li Xiuyuan's sudden arrival saved Third Sister Fox, and at the same time temporarily stopped these hunters from killing the fox spirits.
But it was only temporarily stopped. These hunters did not leave just because of his few words. Instead, they became angry because of the third sister Hu next to them. They all held knives, forks and hunting bows to surround him.
stand up.
"We cannot let this fox spirit go. If she escapes, your children and future generations will be killed by this fox spirit." The old hunter who was hit by the arrow covered his wound and said in pain through gritted teeth.
Being hit by an arrow from Li Xiuyuan's black dragon bow, his arm bones are constantly breaking. Such injuries can mean that this old Orion's arm will be basically useless in the future. Even if he recovers from the injury, he will suffer from hidden diseases and cannot control gravity.
.
"You are right. This vixen cannot be let go. This vixen calls this man brother-in-law. I think this man is not a serious person. We cannot give up."
"There is also a nest of foxes inside, you can tell by the sound. If we kill this nest of foxes, each of us will get at least three or four taels of silver. How can we give up when the meat is on our lips?"
"I advise you to leave that vixen, otherwise we will deal with you as well."
These hunters pressed forward step by step, united together, and surrounded fiercely to hunt down Third Sister Fox.
Third Sister Hu trembled when she felt those ferocious eyes, and just looked at Li Xiuyuan with pitiful pleading, hoping that Li Xiuyuan would protect her and not give herself to these hunters.
But she couldn't guarantee it. After all, Mr. Li was just a mortal, a scholar. How could he deal with so many hunters?
Li Xiuyuan was calm at this moment, looking at these hunters and saying: "I am not a spirit, I am a boy from Guo Beicheng, a scholar with a good reputation. If you murder me, you will be committing a capital crime. If you are caught, you will inevitably be cut by the official uniform."
Got my head off."
student?
These hunters were suddenly shocked and stopped subconsciously.
Scholars are helping an official. Killing an official is tantamount to rebellion. Killing a scholar is nothing more than beheading.
For a moment, the hunters hesitated.
Li Xiuyuan added: "I hope today's matter will end here. I can assure you that Third Sister Hu will not retaliate against you in the future, nor will she retaliate against your children and relatives. If you leave them a way to live, I will leave you one too."
Shenglu, for those who are willing to leave today, I can give you five taels of silver as compensation, what do you think?"
After saying that, he took out an ingot of fifty taels of silver from his arms, which was enough to compensate ten people.
This action proves that he has the ability to compensate these hunters, rather than just talking about it.
An Orion turned his eyes and said, "The compensation of five taels of silver is too little, at least fifty taels is enough, fifty taels per person."
"Yes, at least fifty taels per person. You are a person who is not short of money. I believe this little money is not a problem for you."
"Yes, it's fifty taels per person."
Being led by a greedy hunter, these hunters became greedy and asked Li Xiuyuan to pay fifty taels of compensation each, so that they would give up today's hunting.
Li Xiuyuan frowned and said: "You have to know that five taels of silver is already the biggest compensation for you. If you add another one tael, you are not worthy of it because of your virtue, let alone fifty taels. Besides, you lions are so open-minded."
What’s the point of asking for money and robbing?”
"Robbery? You scholar are right, we are robbing."
The hunter who offered fifty taels gave a grim smile, took out the short knife from his arms, and walked towards Li Xiuyuan.
"I've been paying attention to you, scholar, for a long time. You're wearing fine Su Jin. A foot of cloth like this would cost at least ten taels of silver in a cloth shop. You're so rich. It's better to make you today than to catch hundreds of them."
You're a fox, and if someone in the wilderness here robbed and killed you, who would know?"
After saying that, the hunter said to his friends: "Tonight is an opportunity given to us by God to make a fortune. Do you want to hunt for the rest of your life, or do you want to be popular and drink spicy food from now on? If you dare to do something, come with me.
I robbed this scholar, no matter if he is a human or a monster, I think he has a lot of money, and I guarantee that we will all get rich."
As soon as these words came out, other people were also tempted and had evil thoughts towards Li Xiuyuan.
For a moment, their target shifted from Third Sister Hu to Li Xiuyuan.
The old hunter was shocked and said: "It is natural for us to hunt foxes. Even if we are called cruel, we have a clear conscience. You are not going to hunt foxes now, but to kill and rob. This is what bandits do."
Ah, you will be punished."
"Old man, don't you hate him when he shot your arm with a bow just now?" someone asked.
The old hunter said: "I am only cruel to the prey in the mountains, the wild fox spirit. How dare I do this to people? He hurt my arm because he is related to the fox spirit. He had no choice but to hurt people to save his relatives."
It's a very moral thing. I hurt his fox spirit relative and now he hurts his arm. This is retribution. I don't blame him. Stop it now. Killing someone is a capital crime."
"Old man, you talk a lot of nonsense. Since you don't want to make this money, don't blame us for not sharing your share when the time comes." The leader of the Orion said harshly: "Do it and kill this scholar."
"Want money? Interesting. Come here if you are not afraid of death. The money is in my hand. If you have the ability, you can come and get it."
Li Xiuyuan held a piece of silver, gestured to them, and then put it into his arms. Although he didn't have a sharp weapon in his hand, he was not afraid of these dozen or so well-equipped hunters.
As a martial arts master, if he can't even deal with a dozen bandits, then his more than ten years of martial arts training will be in vain.
"Wha~!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hunter suddenly shot an arrow from his hunting bow and headed straight for him.
Li Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed, and he stretched out his hand to fish it out in the air. The arrow was already in his hand.
"Seizing an arrow with bare hands? What kind of skill is this?" Many people were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
They had little knowledge. They had only heard from storytellers about some ancient warriors who fought on the battlefield and could catch hidden arrows with just one hand, then broke them and threw them on the ground.
I originally clapped and cheered when I heard this passage, but when it was my turn to see this scene with my own eyes, I found that I really couldn't cheer.
In fact, it is not difficult to seize an arrow with bare hands. You can do it if you have good eyesight, hand speed, and strength.
The characters of martial arts masters all have such vision, hand speed and strength.
To kill a man with Li Xiuyuan's martial arts skills, he would need at least a three-stone bow.
Since ancient times, we have heard of generals who were besieged and killed by rebel armies, and generals who were assassinated by sneak attacks. We have never heard of generals who died under stray arrows. The real generals who died under bows and arrows were all shot by powerful bows with three stones attached.
dead.
The hunter's bow didn't even have the power of a stone. It would be difficult to kill Li Xiuyuan first unless there were enough of them.
"I have said it before, if you let the vixens here live, I will let you live. You don't take the five taels of silver compensation in your eyes, but you want to take my life. You are no longer
They are not hunters, but a group of robbers and thieves. When dealing with robbers and thieves, my methods are always very ruthless."
Li Xiuyuan's eyes became sharp.
It is understandable that hunters hunt foxes, but robbers seeking wealth and killing cannot be forgiven.
He pointed at the Orion who was shooting an arrow and said, "Xing Shan, I want one of his arrows to pierce his heart and kill him."
"Wha~!"
As the voice fell, an arrow appeared out of thin air, but the Orion swayed, and then he screamed and was shot directly through the heart by a thick arrow, nailed to the ground, and the body fell down softly.
"Young master, you should wait a moment. Your horse's speed has exceeded the speed of the fox fairy flying through the clouds and riding in the mist."
A deep voice sounded, and a tall, thin man with slender arms was seen walking out of the path of the ruined temple holding a large bow nearly as tall as a person.
"Is that also called soaring into the clouds and riding on the mist? It's more like climbing into the clouds."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "My father-in-law is getting slower and slower. I don't know if it is because of lack of physical strength. If I don't know how many foxes have died by the time he arrives, I can't wait and have to take the first step."
After speaking, he looked at the sky.
Suddenly, a rain cloud suddenly floated up from space, and heavy rain poured down, extinguishing the fire in the ruined temple.
Hu Han's figure was vaguely revealed among the clouds.
When the remaining hunters saw that one of their accomplices had been shot dead, they all screamed angrily and rushed towards Xing Shan with knives and forks in hand.
Now that he has evil intentions and is discovered, he can only go one way to the end. Stop now. If he is sued by this scholar, he will not survive the lawsuit.
"These people do not deserve the sympathy of the young master and should be killed."
Xing Shan shouted, his hands seemed to be performing magic tricks, he opened the big bow in his hand, and arrows flew out one after another, in just a blink of an eye.
A big bow in his hand was like a repeating crossbow, unable to stop.
"Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!"
The arrows penetrated the bodies of these hunters, shooting them all through. The arrows were nailed to the ground, with scarlet blood.
The hunters covered their necks in disbelief, vomited blood and fell to the ground.
Xing Shan shot these hunters without blinking an eye, as if he had just killed a few cattle and sheep, and then looked at the remaining hunters with sharp eyes.
The hunters were frightened when they saw this scene. How could they deal with a man with such terrifying archery skills?
"Run."
I don't know who shouted, and the remaining hunters immediately dispersed and fled in all directions.
"Kneel down and surrender, but those who escape will be killed immediately." Li Xiuyuan said coldly.
As soon as these words came out, some hunters were frightened and hurriedly knelt on the ground. However, some hunters did not believe in evil and tried to escape.
"I told you that you can kneel down and surrender, but you still dare to run. My sword has long been lonely and unbearable." Wu Fei touched his bald head, held the sword in his hand, walked out with a grin, and stabbed a hunter who was about to escape.
.
The knife was fierce and cut off the man's head with one blow.
The murderous nature of this executioner was exposed, making people tremble with fear.
