Chapter 117: Hundred Miles of Pursuit
The mountains are dangerous and the terrain is difficult.

There is a lot of miasma and quagmire in the green forests, as well as many poisonous insects and wild animals, which is very dangerous.

'Green forest hero', bandit and robber.

After gathering into mountain strongholds, most of them are stationed in places like this.

Therefore, even if the kings of all dynasties unified the country and were wise and powerful, and their national strength was strong, they still had no way to deal with these "heroes".

Chenshan has nine peaks, and the mountain range is dangerous and stretches for thousands of miles.

There, countless bandits gathered and became gangsters. The strongest ones were collectively called the 72 Roads of Chenshan.

The top six is ​​Moye Dao.

Wow!
The peaks are as high as dragons, and gurgling green water falls from the mountains. A large amount of water flows together to form a clear pool.

"It's such a waste of such a good place."

As my palm brushed across the water, a hint of coolness flowed through my hands, and I sensed the barely detectable evil spirit within it.

Zhou Yan sighed lightly, stood up and looked around.

Green mountains and clear waters are the epitome of natural beauty.

This should have been a natural paradise in harmony with nature, but it was occupied by so-called bandits, surrounded by evil spirits, and lost some of its spiritual energy.

To people, it is a disaster.

In the natural world, it is like a poisonous sore.

These existences are truly a cancer in the world and humanity.

"My ability to kill seems to have become dull lately."

Zhou Yan's eyes suddenly looked into the distance.

In the distance, there were flickering figures among the woods. From time to time, there were sounds of laughter, anger and cursing. Through the mottled light and shadows, a small team of about ten people could be vaguely seen.

It is getting closer and closer from far away.

"It's just right, I can sharpen the knife in my heart"

Zhou Yan had a blank expression on his face, but murderous intent was building in his heart.

This is the foot of the mountain occupied by Moye Dao. From bottom to top, there are countless bandits stationed, patrolling and defending.

However, Zhou Yan did not intend to let anyone go.

Since this is the plan, there is no need to hide your whereabouts.

"who!"

A hundred feet away, someone in the patrol team had sharp eyes and immediately noticed a person standing by a clear pond in the distance, who seemed to be looking at him.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Zhang Jiu's face changed and he immediately yelled:
"Brothers, grab your weapons!"

After these words were spoken, the remaining nine people finally woke up from their dream and reacted.

too long.

Because Moye Dao was well-known and the imperial court was unable to suppress it, no one dared to offend it, and patrolling was just a formality.

I didn't expect that I would run into such a stupid person today?
Zhengzhengzheng!
In just a moment, ten people drew their swords. The icy blades reflected the sunlight, refracting cold rays that shone brightly in the forest.

"Capture him, and I will personally hand him over to the commander for interrogation!"

Zhang Jiu's face was cold and he responded quickly.

Chenshan is located in a remote area. It takes five miles deep into the forest to reach the foot of the mountain. It is impossible to take the wrong road.

Besides, even if you take the wrong path.

Coming here, without losing skin and bones, do you still expect to die peacefully?
As soon as the words fell, nine people strode out with a grim smile, holding their swords and running towards Zhou Yan. Their blood and energy were concentrated, and they stepped like flying. They approached him quickly, formed a circle, and chopped at Zhou Yan's limbs and back from nine different directions!
Buzz!
The blade rubbed against the airflow rapidly, causing a buzzing sound as it vibrated.

Nine people attacked together, stepped forward and raised their swords. With a flick of their wrists, the blades cut through the airflow, and the sword light enveloped Zhou Yan in an instant!
"Who is this person?"

While his men took action, Sun Jiu just watched with a knife in his hand.

He had a hunch that this black-clad Taoist who had trespassed into Moyedao must not be a simple person, and might have some other tricks up his sleeve.

So, send out your men to test it first.

The purpose is to find out the methods of this mysterious man!
"Just a bunch of bandits, but they have standard equipment and their martial arts are all based on the same routine. It's really amazing."

Zhou Yan took a deep breath, his face turned a little colder:

"Very good, you all deserve to die."

These bandits were of low quality, not very strong, and in an awkward position. Naturally, they were not supported by the Daqian Dynasty.

but.
"Aristocratic families that have survived for many years are indeed no different from a cancer. Even if their ancestors were wise, they could not avoid falling into depravity and decay. This is true in all worlds, with few exceptions."

Raising bandits is not for the purpose of rebellion, and these bandits are not worthy of it.

Its purpose is to continuously weaken the court's voice and reduce its reputation, so as to increase its control over the region.

With more experience, you can guess most of the information about some things just by looking at them.

From the mental fragments of several people, one can also glimpse some words and "see" the existence of some ancient families.

Huhu~
A large amount of air flow was cut by the sword light.

When the sun was at its highest point, nine bright moons seemed to flash by around Zhou Yan. The sword light was as bright as the moon, sharp and piercing, and it slashed towards Zhou Yan!
Although Sun Jiu ordered to capture him alive.

But it doesn't say that we have to capture a complete person. If we chopped off the limbs, perhaps the wailing sound would be more pleasant to the ear?
All kinds of thoughts, thousands of ideas, are all in an instant.

Just as the sword lights were about to hit him from all directions, Zhou Yan finally responded.

"Ah."

As he chuckled, his blood surged.

Before the laughter died down, the mind had already affected the body, stimulating all the energy and blood to become active and boiling to the extreme. The muscles all over the body were tensed, like tendons and bows, accumulating strength.

Inhale, step.

Transfer span, capacity.

All the strength burst out like an arrow from a bow!

Beng Beng Beng~
There were rumbling sounds coming from Zhou Yan's body.

In just a moment, the moment the nine people's swords flashed, he drew his sword.

A flash of silver light was like mercury pouring down on the ground, instantly covering the area three feet around, shattering all the swords and blades that were sweeping towards Zhou Yan!
Dangdang Dangdang!
After just one contact, the nine people were beaten back with their combined strength, and the weapons in their hands were cracked by the sword and flew out of their hands.

Don't give people a chance to react.

Zhou Yan slashed with his backhand knife again. With a "puff" sound, a blood line that seemed to form a circle flashed in the air.

Boom boom boom!
In the blink of an eye, before Sun Jiu had even made a move, in just one round, he saw his nine men being beheaded.

The not-so-round head rolled on the ground. "You, you deserve to die!"

Sun Jiu's eyes suddenly turned red, and he was about to step forward with his knife.

He had accumulated reputation for a long time before recruiting these men. There were only nine of them, but they were all experts in the flesh training realm.

But, he was actually killed by this Taoist with just one sword?

For a moment, Sun Jiu's mind was filled with anger, his eyes were blood red, and his energy and blood flowed throughout his body, and he was about to step out.

puff.

There was an unusual movement.

Sun Jiu looked down and saw a head rolling to his feet. The whole face was cracked, revealing a sunken skull.

Suddenly, a chill came over my heart.

My eyes suddenly became clear.

All thoughts of revenge and standing up for one's brothers were forgotten in an instant, so quickly that it happened in the next breath before his toes touched his head.

The blood circulation route that was originally used for attacking and killing was instantly transformed into a blood circulation route diagram used for escape.

Ta-da-da!
Sun Jiu's feet were as fast as phantoms. In the blink of an eye he had run more than ten feet away. In the blink of another eye he had disappeared into the forest.

"Great master, absolutely a great master!"

Sun Jiu was roaring in his heart, unable to stop regretting.

If I had known this would happen, I would have made some excuses today and decided to stay in the stronghold. Even if I was scolded by the leader, it would be better than all my brothers dying!
"This person is definitely a master at the Skin Refining Realm, or even the Bone Refining Realm. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to kill nine Flesh Refining Realm warriors so easily."

Sun Jiu's thoughts flashed rapidly.

In the realm of martial arts, before entering the realm of training the internal organs, practicing breathing techniques, and drastically changing the physical constitution, the gap between each realm is large, but it does not create a crushing effect.

Able to kill nine flesh-training warriors in seconds.

His actual strength must be two or three levels higher. It would be fine if he practiced the Taoist magic that was rumored, but from what he saw just now, it seems not.

"Hurry, I have to report to the leader."

"Oh, I also have a beacon rocket. How could I forget this?"

Sun Jiu's thoughts turned, and he suddenly remembered that he was patrolling the mountains. He had a beacon fire stick on him. After being lit, it could produce an effect similar to fireworks, alerting the mountain village to the enemy.

At that moment, he took out the beacon fire arrows.

Because he was worried about Zhou Yan who was chasing him, he didn't dare to stop for a moment. He used the momentum of his fast run to cut through the gravel with his sword, splashing sparks, and then he took advantage of the momentum.

huh~
Along with bigger sparks, and a strong smell of gunpowder.

A firework like an arrow flew into the sky and exploded with a loud bang!
"Brothers, wait for me."

Before the next thought flashed through his mind, Sun Jiu's whole body froze.

A short knife suddenly penetrated the body, passing through layers of bones. With a brief stinging pain, it passed through the chest and sank into the grass three feet away under Sun Jiu's gaze.

"That's... my blood?"

Turning his head with difficulty, Sun Jiu saw Zhou Yan standing quietly less than five feet away, with his indifferent expression.

"If you could have caught up with me a long time ago, why did you wait until I finished sending the signal?"

Sun Jiu was confused, and then everything went dark before his eyes, and he fell to the ground.

He had never thought that even at his level of muscle training, he could be killed so easily.
"It's so slow to send a signal?"

Zhou Yan glanced at the smoke clouds falling in the sky and shook his head slightly.

From the fragments of these people's thoughts, we can know that Moye Dao is holding a banquet today, which has gathered many people of the same sect.

If we kill them one by one, there will be too many people and we may not be able to cover our tracks.

But if it was a cloud-piercing arrow, then these bandits, who valued "face" the most, would not immediately escape through the secret passage.

Then I can kill them all.
Looking at the mountains and forests that were already beginning to become restless, Zhou Yan sneered, stretched his muscles, expanded his mind perception, and began to search for all traces of the bandits.

Prepare to start surrounding and killing these bandits.

Although Zhou Yan’s current martial arts level is only at the level of muscle training, his own cultivation is so terrifying that he can cross many realms and kill enemies at will.

"Quick, it's right there!"

"The beacon fire seems to have been launched from over there. I remember that was the patrol route of Old Sun. Is there something wrong?"

There are shadowy figures in the woods.

"Very good, just what I wanted"

Looking through the trees a hundred feet away, Zhou Yan saw a group of bandits running towards him. He stepped forward and held his short knife and Sun Jiu's knife in his hands.

Bang bang bang!
Attached to the short sword collected previously.

Zhou Yan burst out with strength once again, and the dagger was swung out by him along the line of his mind like a full moon bow drawn by an archer.

Then, it broke through the air, making sounds that pierced the air!

"There are hidden weapons!"

"Hide, hide!"

Before the voice had even finished, silence returned.

Zhou Yan didn't even take a second look, but walked over, picked up a dagger again, and headed towards the top of the mountain!

kill!

kill!

Kill again!!!

Zhou Yan held a blood-stained dagger and climbed up from the foot of the mountain. He fought his way through a bloody path, and a large amount of green grass turned bright red.

Corpses rolled down the cliff.

The gushing blood seemed to dye the waterfall red.

Go all the way up and kill anyone you see.

Until a wide gate of more than ten meters stood in front of him.

Zhou Yan looked through the crack of the closing door and saw the bandits who were trembling inside and had just fled back.

And a middle-aged man with a face full of anger and wearing tiger skin clothes.

With his eyes downcast, Zhou Yan raised his arm, gathered his strength, and slammed towards the door in front of him:
"You pigs and dogs, come out and die!"

　I couldn't hold on. I feel a little unwell. I guess it's because I stay up too late every day. I don't think I can update 10,000 words anymore.

　　I'll see how things turn out later.
