At the crossing of Shuizhai Ferry is a three-foot-square wooden platform with four sentry towers built on both sides. There are several archers on the sentry towers. The platform is already covered with blood. The people in Yanzi Shuiwu suffered heavy casualties.
A group of ten people were killing vigorously. Although they were all dressed as businessmen, each of them was very skilled and had a strong sense of gangsterism. It was obvious at a glance that they were capable people who had experienced life and death for a long time.
"You are no match for me head on! Get out of Pingtian quickly and close the cage!"
In the crowd, some water bandits shouted.
Upon hearing this, all the water bandits retreated one after another, and someone else in the distance activated their trap.
Just listen to the sound of the underwater machine, the ferry platform that originally connected the various roads was cut off on all sides. Instead, three wooden walls with a height of two feet were erected, forming a three-sided encirclement. Only the water of Taihu Lake can be walked. But the view is endless.
Is there any way to survive on the lake?
Seeing this, the ten people in the cage wanted to break through the wall head-on, each holding a sword and slashing at it.
And the Yanyanziwu water bandits are not unworthy of their fame. They have already predicted this situation. Although the walls are made of wood, they have been soaked in special refined oil and are extremely tough. There will not even be a trace when cut with a sword.
Seeing that they could not break through, the ten people realized that something was not going well, but the archers on the four sentry towers above were already ready. Arrows rained down like rain, and two weaker men were immediately wounded by arrows.
Xia Shang watched from a distance and thought that the methods of these water bandits were comparable to those of the army. It is no wonder that the imperial court could not eradicate them every year.
At this time, I suddenly saw a man rising into the air, using his strength to climb up to the ten-meter-high sentry tower, and in an instant he killed the archers to pieces.
After clearing the archers on one side, the man moved to the second side, and within a few moves, several more archers were beheaded.
Just as this person was heading to the third sentry tower, a wild laugh came from the distance, and the boss, Zhao Xiao, came with a meteor hammer.
"Hahahaha... Where did this young boy dare to run wild on my territory?"
As he spoke, Zhao Xiao's mountain-like body crashed into the wooden wall in front. The sound of flying wood chips was heard. The wooden wall that had not been damaged by the sword was actually knocked out by Zhao Xiao. A hole was made.
The few people in the middle saw that a strong man was attacking, and three of them took the initiative to attack, each holding a long sword. They lined up on three sides of Zhao Xiao and drew their swords at the same time.
When these three swords were released, three lines of mist-like Qi were released, and suddenly a cold wind blew out, and a killing Qi emerged.
These three people are not ordinary people, otherwise they would not have killed all the water pirates and fled in haste.
But Zhao Xiao turned a blind eye and walked straight forward, as if he didn't see the sword moves of the three men.
When the three of them saw that they were being ignored, they became angry and became even more powerful. They shouted: "Thieves will die!"
Zhao Xiao still did not dodge or dodge, nor did he make any moves. In an instant, three swords hit Zhao Xiao's body at the same time.
"We got it!" one person said in surprise.
But another person was surprised and said: "That's not right!"
Although the three swords hit Zhao Xiao, they were like stabbing steel. The three long swords were twisted to varying degrees, but they could not break an inch of Zhao Xiao's flesh.
"No! Escape quickly!"
But it was too late by now, Zhao Xiao had a hammer in each hand, sweeping both sides.
The 100-jin meteor hammer touched the two of them lightly, and their brains immediately flew away. The two of them were instantly smashed into a ball of mud!
"The third child! The fourth child!"
The person in front of him screamed and flew back, but he was still a step too slow.
Zhao Xiao's eyes were red, he pounced forward, and actually bit off the neck of the person in front of him with his mouth!
None of the three people uttered a scream, but they turned into three dead bodies.
Zhao Xiao's face was covered in blood, and his mouth made a smashing sound. He looked like a deep-sea shark, and he was worthy of the name of the three-headed dragon.
Seeing this, Xia Shang's scalp went numb. Even he couldn't stand such a scene. Only then did he understand why everyone in the water village was extremely afraid of the leader.
Zhao Xiao took action and killed three people with one blow. There was a burst of laughter from the surrounding water bandits and cheers from all around.
On the other hand, the few remaining people were frightened to death. They had never thought that there was such a terrifying person in this water village.
Why does Zhao Xiao care about this?
He laughed wildly like a tiger entering a herd of sheep, and with one swing of the meteor hammer, one person turned into blood, but the opponent's attacks could not hurt him in the slightest. His body of strong iron bones made people's faces change, and no one could do anything to him.
Besides, the person who entered the sentry tower before had killed all the archers above, but he didn't expect that in just a moment, all the brothers below would be killed.
"Villain! I will fight you until death!"
The man let out an angry roar and descended from the sky, turning into a storm and rushing towards Zhao Xiao.
Seeing that the battle was about to end, Xia Shang also got closer.
The man in the middle was holding a long knife, nothing unusual.
But in his rage, he struck out another sword in the air, and the last one was a short sword. The long and short swords stunned Xia Shang.
The person who wields the long and short swords looks familiar to Xia and Shang.
After thinking about it, I was shocked. Didn't Shangguan Chan also use the same weapon?
Is that person related to Guan Chan?
Xia Shang was not sure yet. Although there were only a few people who used long and short knives, they were not alone.
Xia Shang has seen many masters fight, and knows that although this person is strong in martial arts, he is by no means a match for Zhao Xiao. If he wants to know where he came from, he can only hope that he will not die at the hands of Zhao Xiao!
The man alternated between using long and short swords, stabbing with the long sword, and covering up the attack with the short sword. He only waited for the first blow to come into contact before condensing all his strength to deliver a fatal blow.
Although this idea is clever, it underestimates the power of Zhao Xiao's meteor hammer.
The opponent came menacingly, but Zhao Xiao just released his true energy. He swung his meteor hammer again, and the sword collided with him in mid-air.
The man was about to activate his short sword, but unexpectedly, the long sword made a crisp sound and shattered into snowflakes. The meteor hammer's power continued unabated and headed straight for the man's head.
Now that life is in danger, who dares to attack again? They can only defend with short swords.
When the short knife came into contact with the meteor hammer, the man felt a strange force coming, and his whole body was blown away like a kite. If it were not for the protection of the true energy, he would have been dead at this moment. He fell into the air, fell high, and was lost when he landed on the ground.
He was half alive, his whole body was covered in wounds, and he couldn't move a muscle.
Zhao Xiao did not kill him, but sneered: "Come here, lock this man up and torture him to see where he came from."
At this time, the storm was over, and Xia Shang returned to the house again, wondering if he could find a chance to meet that person?
At this time, Ye Bin came.
After a few days of rest, Ye Bin's bandages were removed, but there were still some scars on his body that were not dry. He looked a little miserable and his energy was a little low.
Xia Shang was surprised that Ye Bin never came here because he was afraid of being embarrassed if he saw him.
After all, Xia Shang saved him, but he made Xia Shang fall into a den of thieves and couldn't escape.
But today he came uninvited and looked sad as if something was wrong.
Ye Bin came, sat down first, took a drink of water, and smiled at Qian Qian: "Mr. Xia, you are doing well these days."
Xia Shang smiled: "With Qian Qian taking care of me, life is going well."
"Hey!" Ye Bin suddenly sighed, "To be honest, I would be speechless in front of Mr. Xia, if not..."
"Okay, okay." Xia Shang interrupted, "Don't mention it, just tell me what you did today?"
Ye Bin looked embarrassed and worried for a long time before he said: "Young master should know what happened today. I also attracted those people. I thought they were a group of fat sheep, but unexpectedly they came to cause trouble.
Several brothers died and nothing was gained. This debt is all on my head. So I am not having a good life during this period. I am afraid that if the young master cannot come up with the 500,000 taels, then my life will be at stake.
