Niu Xiong picked up the giant ax with both hands, and with the terrifying power of Mountain-Splitting Stone-Cracking, he struck it down on Fang Han's head!
The ax wind roared, and the air seemed to be torn apart.
"Whoosh!"
Fang Han's expression remained unchanged, his feet moved slightly, and the subtlety of <Wind Shadow Step> was quietly displayed. His body floated sideways like catkins in the wind, easily dodging this powerful and heavy axe.
At the same time, he flicked his wrist, and Azure Edge Sword turned into a cyan electric light, which pierced Niu Xiong's ribs exposed by exerting force.
Niu Xiong struck the air with an ax and hit the ground, leaving a deep pit.
Seeing a sword light stabbing at him quickly, I was shocked and quickly blocked it with my axe.
"Clang!"
The swords and axes collided, making a deafening sound.
A huge force came, and Fang Han's figure took advantage of the force and floated backwards, releasing the force.
Niu Xiong was forced back by the fierce force coming from the sword, with a look of shock on his face.
This kid is actually like him, a late Grade Eight warrior.
He no longer doubts the identity of the opponent Azure Profound Sect's disciple, and only a sect like Azure Profound Sect can cultivate such a young Grade Eight late-stage warrior.
"You have some skills, look at the axe!"
Niu Xiong roared and swung the ax to attack again. The ax technique was wide open and closed, and the momentum was strong and heavy, blowing up gusts of evil wind.
Fang Han responded calmly and brought <Wind Shadow Step> and <Wind Splitting Sword Technique> to their full potential.
He does not compete with Niu Xiong for strength, but relies on the exquisite Body Movement and Sword Technique to specialize in the flaws and key points between his moves.
Niu Xiong Kong had brute strength and Internal Qi in the later stage of Grade Eight, but was completely restrained by Fang Han. He was beaten to a halt and kept roaring.
However, within a few moves, a few blood marks were added to his body. Although it was not fatal, it made him more and more anxious.
Void Splitting Gold Severing!
Fang Han spotted a flaw, and his sword style suddenly changed. The sword light mysteriously bypassed the ax blade and stabbed Niu Xiong's heart accurately.
Niu Xiong was shocked and turned around to avoid.
"Pfft!"
Although the sword edge did not hit the heart, it cut a bloody hole deep into the bone on Niu Xiong's left chest, and the blood instantly dyed his clothes red.
"Ah!"
Niu Xiong let out a shrill scream, and the severe pain and fear instantly overwhelmed him. Knowing that he was outmatched, he turned around and wanted to run away.
"Want to leave?"
Fang Han snorted coldly, <Wind Shadow Step> pushed with all his strength, his body was like electricity, and he caught up instantly.
The sword flashed!
Niu Xiong A blood mark appeared at the throat, blood spurted out wildly, the giant ax in his hand fell, and his body fell weakly.
"The boss is dead!"
"Run quickly!"
When the remaining bandits saw that the most powerful leader was actually killed by Fang Han, they were so frightened that they dropped their weapons and fled in all directions, like birds and beasts.
The caravan Guard took the opportunity to pursue and kill more than a dozen robbers who could not escape, but more robbers escaped.
The bandits dispersed, leaving only a mess on the ground and dozens of corpses on the official road.
The smell of blood filled the cold air, and the caravans Guard began to clean the battlefield and collect the remains of their companions. Everyone's face showed the joy of surviving the disaster and deep gratitude to Fang Han.
Steward Qian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, walked quickly to Fang Han, and bowed his arms to the ground deeply, his voice filled with gratitude.
"Thank you so much, Shaoxia Fang, for saving me. If it hadn't been for Shaoxia, I, Longchang Merchant Caravan, would have been doomed today! Qian is deeply grateful for this kindness. In the future, if Shaoxia needs anything, Longchang Merchant Caravan will do his best to repay you!"
His words were sincere and not false.
"Steward Qian There is no need to be polite. Since we are traveling together, we should take care of each other."
Fang Han sheathed his sword and looked calm.
His eyes swept across the battlefield and landed on a skinny bandit who was captured by Guard and was trying his best to look inconspicuous.
This person's cultivation level is about Ninth-rank early stage. He was caught trying to escape during the melee just now. Judging from the way he shouted just now, he should be a small boss.
Fang Han walked up to this person and looked at him calmly.
"Where is your lair?"
The skinny little robber felt the murderous aura that had not yet dissipated from Fang Han. He was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, kowtowing as if pounding garlic.
"Hero, spare your life, hero, spare your life. The little one says it, the little one says anything. The village is in Wutong Mountain, more than ten miles to the north. The place is very hidden. The little one can lead the way!"
He was spineless. In order to survive, he told the location of the den, the number of people left behind, and even a few secret paths like a bamboo tube.
Fang Han After listening quietly, I was already thinking about it.
This group of bandits has been entrenched for many years, plundering caravans and must have accumulated a lot of wealth.
Now that you have encountered it, there is no reason to let it go.
He looked at Steward Qian.
"Steward Qian, you guys go on your way first, I still have some personal matters to deal with, and I'll catch up later."
Steward Qian is a human being, he immediately understood what Fang Han was going to do and said quickly.
"Young hero, go ahead. We will slow down and wait for you at Clear Water Town, which is twenty miles ahead."
Fang Han nodded, said no more, and let the skinny and ashen-faced leader lead the way, disappearing into the dense forest beside the official road, heading towards the gangster's den.
Deep in Wutong Mountain, in a forest with hidden terrain, a simple village shed was built against the mountain.
At this time, the village was in chaos. The bandits who escaped first were shocked and brought the news that the leader Niu Xiong had been killed and the team was broken up.
The dozens of bandits who were left behind suddenly panicked.
"Not only is the boss dead, but several leaders are also dead. Whoever likes to be a robber is a robber, and I am not the one to do it anyway!"
"The other party may have already chased me, so hurry up, divide the valuable things, and run for your lives!"
"Yes! We divided the property and went our separate ways!"
Fear spreads and no one wants to stay and die.
The robbers rushed into the cave where the property was hidden, randomly divided up the gold, silver, jewelry and valuables they had looted over the years, stuffed them into packages, and prepared to disperse them.
"Want to leave? Just stay."
Just when these people got their belongings and were about to flee the village, a figure appeared outside the village and blocked their way. It was none other than Fang Han.
He casually broke the neck of the thin leader and threw the body aside.
The sound was not loud, but it spread clearly throughout the entire village, carrying a cold murderous intent.
"Really... are chasing you?!"
When the robbers saw Fang Han, they screamed in terror and ran away as if they had seen a ghost.
"Whoosh!"
Fang Han moved into the crowd.
The sword light flashed and blood splashed.
Among the remaining bandits, the strongest one is just Ninth Grade, how can he stop Fang Han?
He is like a tiger among sheep. Every time the sword light shines, one of them will fall.
However, the number of robbers was really large, and they were scattered and escaped. Even though he activated <Wind Shadow Step> to the extreme and his body flashed in the field, it was difficult to keep all the robbers behind.
Many robbers took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain to sneak into the depths of the mountains and forests with their packages and disappear.
After a meal, deathly silence returned to the village, leaving only dozens of corpses and scattered belongings.
Fang Han stood in the center of the village, panting slightly.
Looking at the bandits fleeing into the forest, he frowned slightly.
After all, when manpower was limited, many people escaped with their belongings.
He collected all the remaining belongings, including the weapons of the dead robbers, into one place and piled them into a small pile.
With a thought, I called out System Panel.
[Host: Fang Han]
[Root Bone Talent Amplification: 32 times (the sixth level of increase requires 1 million silver)]
[Sword Art Talent Amplification: 16 times (the fifth level increase requires 100,000 silver)]
[Footwork Talent Amplification: 16 times (the fifth level of increase requires 100,000 silver)]
[Possessed Wealth:0 silver]
"Recharge."
Concentrating his thoughts, the gold, silver, jewelry and weapons on the ground disappeared instantly.
The wealth value on System Panel began to jump crazily.
[Possessed Wealth:10025 silver]
[Possessed Wealth:20050 silver]
In the end, the numbers settled on.
[Possessed Wealth:27512 silver]
"Nearly thirty thousand taels!"
Fang Han couldn't hold the corners of his mouth down.
He obtained nearly 30,000 silver in one go, which can be said to be a windfall.
He himself never thought that he would get such an unexpected windfall when he returned home.
"It's a pity that I ran away a lot."
Fang Han A trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
If he could catch all these bandits in one go, he would definitely gain more. However, he was really powerless to stop all the bandits by himself.
As for asking the caravan Guard for help, it is naturally impossible for the Guards to protect the caravan's goods.
"It's true that you can earn money quickly by eating black and white, but it's a pity that such a thing can only happen but cannot be sought!"
Fang Han had the idea of looking for robbers in the future, but he rejected this idea.
The bandits usually hide in the deep mountains and forests, and their traces are difficult to find. If they hadn't happened to run into them this time and captured a small leader alive to lead the way, it would have been difficult to find them.
The last time we wiped out Ferocious Tiger Stronghold, it took five days to find the den of thieves despite the sect's intelligence.
If you really want to find a gang of robbers, you will need to spend a lot of time searching, and you may not be able to find them, and it will also delay your cultivation.
"Whoosh!"
After gathering his mood, Fang Han stopped staying and turned around to leave. His figure rose and fell a few times before disappearing into the vast mountains and forests.
The process of catching up with the caravan was smooth.
When Steward Qian and others saw Fang Han returning, they were curious as to why he was empty-handed, but they were wise and did not ask any more questions, but their attitude became more and more respectful.
One day later, the caravan arrived at a fork in the road, where Fang Han separated from the caravan and turned towards Liangshui City.
After walking alone for half a day, the familiar outline of the city in the distance finally appeared at the end of the field of vision.
The gray-black city wall looks a little solemn in the winter sunshine, and the three characters "Liangshui City" on the city tower are faintly visible.
Fang Han felt a slight surge in his heart and quickened his pace.
It has been nearly a year since I returned, and the scene in the city does not seem to have changed much. However, as the New Year approaches, the streets are much busier than before. There are many more vendors selling New Year's goods, and there is a festive atmosphere in the air.
Fang Han is dressed in the clothes of a disciple of the Azure Profound Sect, with a calm temperament. He is quite eye-catching when walking on the street, and many passers-by cast curious glances.
He didn't pay attention and walked straight towards the east of the city in the direction of the Fang Mansion.
However, before he had gone very far, a sound of conversation from passers-by reached his ears, causing him to pause slightly in his steps.
"Hey, it's almost the Chinese New Year, why are Fang Clan and Lin Family getting into trouble again? I heard that there was another fight between the two sides at the mine outside the city two days ago, and several warriors died!"
"This year, there has been no peace between the two families. There has been constant friction. We businessmen in the city are all on tenterhooks."
"Yes, both sides have lost a lot of good players this year. It's such a pity..."
"I don't know why these two families are so incompetent."
