In the middle of the Wu Dynasty, the imperial court had lost control of the local area.
The major river and lake gangs are on the rise one after another, occupying one side, dominating and attacking each other. The situation in the river and lake is chaotic and the people are struggling to survive.
The Central Plains arena is headed by Wushuang City, as well as the eight major sects, the imperial court and other forces, forming a super-powerful situation. Unfortunately, no one party has the strength to unify the world, otherwise the lives of the people who have suffered from the torment of various tyrants will be much easier.
Lei Hu came out of Sanjue Old Man's retreat in the mountains and wandered around without any purpose. After walking through half of the Central Plains, he easily discovered the problems of the contemporary Wu Dynasty.
On this day, he came to an unknown town.
It's just an ordinary small town, and the people in the town live an ordinary to boring life.
The town is connected to an official road that leads directly from the north to the south. There are many different business travelers passing through every day, bringing some freshness and excitement to the peaceful town.
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched the shadows of the town's buildings into long shadows, and the town was filled with smoke from cooking fires, making it calm and peaceful.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats roared over, like dense raindrops breaking the tranquility of the town.
Dangdangdang...
"No, there are horse thieves coming to kill you!"
The guards in the town reacted dissatisfiedly, and while urgently closing the gate to and from the town, they also sounded the gong, causing the people in the town to burst into excitement.
"The horse thief is here, what should I do?"
"Oh, oh, oh, father, the child doesn't want to die!"
"Damn it, you have to fight with the horse thieves outside. One product is enough for you, but you can earn one by fighting two!"
"..."
A low pressure of despair and fear instantly enveloped the town, as if the end of the world was approaching and people could hardly breathe.
"Hey, the horse bandits came from nowhere, and the people in the town are going to be in trouble!"
In the only tavern in the town, a group of travelers and men dressed as charlatans were also alarmed. Although they were panicked, they could still keep their composure, but there was a constant buzz of discussion.
"Who says it's not the case? I just don't know how these horse thieves behave. Just don't be those inhumane bastards, otherwise we won't be able to escape!"
"You can't be so unlucky, I haven't heard of such a cruel horse thief nearby!"
Some young people with righteous or chivalrous hearts picked up the guy without hesitation and left, saying boldly: "Let's go, let's kill the thief!"
These words made the other people in the tavern burst into laughter, as if the behavior of these young heroes was so funny that it was inevitable for people to feel a sense of injustice in their hearts.
“The world is changing and people’s hearts are not as old as they used to be!”
Lei Hu stood up silently and followed the young heroes out of the tavern. Dismissing the indifference and disdain in the tavern, he secretly shook his head and walked towards the noisy town gate.
He had seen too many such things while traveling in half of the Central Plains, but he didn't have much negative emotions.
Troubled times are like this. The order is broken and the dark sides of people's hearts are exposed. Fortunately, the world is not full of indifferent beings. Otherwise, how can there be any light in the entire Central Plains?
"Open the door quickly, otherwise the door will be broken and no one will be left alive!"
From a distance, I could hear arrogant laughter coming from outside the gate of the town, as well as vicious and terrifying threats.
"Tai, where does this thief dare to be so arrogant? Take this young hero's sword and try it!"
Several young heroes who had left the tavern before had used Qinggong to stand on the low town wall. When they heard the horse thief's arrogant remarks, they immediately became furious. One of them shot out like an arrow with an arrow in his hand.
He turned into a sharp arrow and attacked and killed the leader of the horse thieves center.
He is also a clever man, and knows the principle of capturing the king first before catching the thief.
However, he was not experienced enough in the arena and could not clearly see that the leader of the horse thieves opposite him was much stronger than him.
Sure enough, the young hero was seen flying back even faster as he left, and was slashed by the skilled hand next to the leader of the horse thieves. He spurted a few mouthfuls of blood while he was still in the air. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.
"Hahaha, you dare to go out and do chivalry with such little ability. I'm really tired of living!"
The leader of the horse thieves laughed loudly with a arrogant face, and pointed at the young knights on the town wall with disdain and an arrogant attitude.
However, his powerful aura, which was equivalent to that of a half-step master in the Shuanglong world of the Tang Dynasty, was like Mount Tai pressing down on him. The faces of the young heroes on the wall of the town turned red, but they did not dare to speak out.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Seeing that his last hope was in vain, the mayor hiding on the wall of the town wailed and begged for mercy from the horse thieves outside: "As long as the king lets the town go, you can make any demands!"
As soon as these words came out, the young heroes who were also standing on the wall looked embarrassed, but they didn't want to get angry.
"Huh, if you want me to leave, you can do it. All you need is one hundred thousand taels of silver and ten beauties!"
The leader of the horse thieves laughed wildly and shouted with an arrogant look: "Otherwise, when my brothers break down the door, it won't be the same as before!"
"Ah, Your Majesty, one hundred thousand taels of silver is too much, can you be accommodating?"
The mayor's face suddenly turned pale, and he started to tremble. How could a small town raise a hundred thousand taels of silver? It was simply the leader of the horse thieves who was making things difficult.
But so what, if you want to save the lives of the people in the town, you have to do what the leader of the horse thieves says, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Old man, you still want to bargain with me, do you have the qualifications?"
The leader of the horse thieves laughed angrily, waved his hand and shouted: "Brothers, go in and grab money, food, and women. Since the old guy won't obey, let's go get it ourselves!"
"Hahaha, you are robbing money, food, and women. The boss should have done this a long time ago!"
"That's right, no matter what you talk about with that old guy, you can get everything if you go in!"
"Quack, quack, none of you should compete with me, I want to be the first to try it!"
"..."
Hundreds of horse thieves laughed wildly and rode forward one by one without paying any attention to the sporadic arrows on the town wall. Their faces were ferocious, like humanoid beasts pounced on prey that had no power to resist.
"Ah ah ah, the horse thieves are coming to kill us!"
"Oh oh oh, I don't want to die!"
"Asshole, I will fight with you!"
"..."
Seeing the horse thieves charging without saying a word, the low wall of the town suddenly became chaotic. An atmosphere of despair enveloped the townspeople, who were all panic-stricken and despairing.
Only a few tough-minded townspeople launched arrow attacks under the command of the escort. Unfortunately, the power of the hunting bows in their hands was limited, and it was ineffective against horse thieves with extraordinary martial arts skills.
"Asshole, let's fight them, but we want to see how powerful these horse thieves are!"
The young heroes on the wall of the town were all filled with righteous indignation, and without losing their blood, they drew their swords one after another. The energy in their bodies was running wildly to fight against the horse thieves who rushed forward.
"Don't be excited, let me come!"
At this moment, Lei Hu's body rose into the sky like the wind. In an instant, the strong wind made the shadow of his legs lingering, like the waves of a long river roaring in all directions. Wherever he passed, the horse thief was easily rolled up like a broken sack, and he was gone by the time he landed.
As an adult, it is obvious that he is beyond death.
"Who are you, who dares to ruin the good deeds of our brothers? You will die!"
The leader of the horse thieves was startled and furious. He shouted loudly and stood up. The sword in his hand instantly turned into a rolling hob and swept over him. The momentum was astonishing, like tearing apart a mountain, revealing an extremely amazing sword skill.
The strong horse thieves next to them were not to be outdone, and each displayed their unique skills, swords, swords, or strange weapons, causing a terrifying wave of wind and energy to sweep towards Leihu like a wave.
Such a powerful attack made all the young heroes on the wall frightened and shocked. They didn't expect that a mere band of horse thieves could be so powerful.
"Haha, you are lucky to have died at the feet of the God of Wind today!"
Lei Hu sneered, not caring at all about the terrifying offensive that was coming like a roaring tide. He was like a god in the wind, flying in the sky, and the shadow of his legs suddenly turned into a strong wind. The strong wind swept the sky and turned into a terrifying tornado, with earth-shattering force.
The terrifying power swept across the country.
In the astonished eyes of the townspeople and young heroes, terrifying tornadoes swept past with astonishing force one after another. All the attacks made by the strong horse thieves were shattered, and they themselves were all carried up by the terrifying tornadoes, waiting to appear again.
By then, it had turned into a horrifically twisted corpse.
Even the leader of the horse thieves, who was the most powerful, comparable to a half-step master in the Double Dragon World of the Tang Dynasty, and whose martial arts power was definitely no worse than that of a senior master, died tragically in the tornadoes that followed one after another with astonishing force.
When everything calmed down, hundreds of horse thieves were all dead, and their deaths were extremely tragic. But the strange thing is that their horses were intact and were not affected by the terrorist attack just now.
Seeing such extreme Qi control, all the young heroes on the wall were dumbfounded and speechless for a long time. They were all stunned by the scene before them.
By the time they reacted, Lei Hu's figure had long disappeared. One of the young heroes used his full strength and shouted loudly: "I don't know who the hero's last name is. Please tell me your name!"
"Thunder Tiger!"
In the distance, an erratic sound clearly reached the ears of everyone present, but it contained no more meaning, making people feel a sense of loss.
"It turns out to be the hero Lei Hu, no wonder his strength is so amazing!"
"What the hero Lei Hu used just now is the famous Fengshen Kick. It's really terrifying!"
"Hey, if I had known that the hero Lei Hu was also in town, I wouldn't have shamefully knelt down and begged, but I would have had to ask the hero for some advice!"
"Yeah, I really didn't expect that the hero Lei Hu was also in the town. It's a pity that I was wrong!"
"—"
The young heroes on the wall were so sorry that even the shocked townspeople were talking about it.
"Hero Lei Hu..."
Of course Lei Hu didn't know, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care about the reactions of the young heroes and the townspeople after he left.
Ever since he left the mountain forest where Old Man Sanjue lived in seclusion, he had encountered many injustices along the way. He was not stingy with anyone who could help him. Firstly, he couldn't bear to look at it, and secondly, he was practicing what he learned from Old Man Sanjue.
He had a unique skill, but he didn't expect that he would become a hero by practicing chivalry and righteousness all the way, and his fame would spread throughout the Central Plains, leaving him speechless.
Of course, this kind of feeling of being truly respected by others is still very good...
