Martial arts long journey

Chapter 47
Although the one-eyed bandit leader was fighting fiercely with Xu Xiong, how could he ignore what happened to Zhou Yan and the bandits under his command?

Seeing the bandit minions under his command dying and fleeing, the one-eyed bandit leader immediately showed a look of astonishment on his face, and a deep anxiety grew in his heart.

Now the one-eyed bandit leader already understands what kind of useless scholar Zhou Yan is, he is definitely a powerful warrior, at least stronger than him.

Originally, the one-eyed bandit leader was not as good as Xu Xiong in all aspects, and he has been suppressed by Xu Xiong. In addition, he is now in chaos, so naturally he is even more unable to compete with Xu Xiong.

But seeing the broad-bladed machete in Xu Xiong's hand suddenly increased its force, and it slashed fiercely on the ghost-head machete of the one-eyed bandit leader.

"Zheng!"

The moment the two knives collided, sporadic sparks visible to the naked eye immediately erupted, and there was a loud sound of gold and iron colliding.

At the same time, under Xu Xiong's heavy force, the short-footed horse that the one-eyed bandit leader was riding softened, and immediately knelt down on the ground.

Xu Xiong, who was in power, swung his arms, and the broad-bladed machete turned into a pick, and the ghost-head machete in the hand of the one-eyed bandit leader flew straight away for a distance of one foot.

Then Xu Xiong took advantage of the victory to pursue him, and swiped the wide-bladed machete in his hand, slapping the one-eyed bandit leader hard on the chest with the blade.

The one-eyed bandit leader was already trembling from the shock of Xu Xiong's slash, but now he endured the blow forcefully, and was thrown off his horse in an instant, falling limply to the ground with blood dripping from his mouth. .

Just as the one-eyed bandit leader was struggling to get up, Xu Xiong, who got off his horse, had already put the wide-bladed machete on his neck.

Feeling the icy cold coming from the neck, the body of the one-eyed bandit leader couldn't help shaking like chaff.

"Young Master Zhou, I beg you to hold your hand high and spare the villain's life!"

Then, I saw him trembling and shouting towards Zhou Yan who was driving the horse: "The villain is deceived by the lard. The villain intends to give up all his belongings. I just ask Mr. Zhou to spare the villain's life." !"

Although there was a sharp cold blade on his neck, he still tried his best to plead with Zhou Yan.

Because the one-eyed bandit leader knew that his life now depended on Zhou Yan's thought, and as long as Zhou Yan didn't speak, Xu Xiong would never dare to take his life on his own.

As the saying goes, weeds must be eradicated, so those bandits who escaped will be fine, but how can Zhou Yan forgive a bandit leader who intercepted and killed him with the kindness of a woman?
Zhou Yan stretched out his hand and reined in the reins, stopped the horse in place, glanced at the one-eyed bandit leader condescendingly, and then said in an indifferent voice: "Second brother, tell him to shut up!"

"Yes, son!"

Hearing Zhou Yan's words in his ears, Xu Xiongweng nodded angrily and said.

Then, in the eyes of the one-eyed bandit leader, Xu Xiong fiercely swung the broad-bladed machete in his hand.

"Pfft!"

Accompanied by a crushing sound, the one-eyed bandit leader was directly captured by Xu Xiongxiao on the spot.

A stream of bright red blood gushed out from his neck, splashing more than three feet high before splashing on the ground.

"My lord, these bandits seem to be lying here specially waiting for us!"

After wiping off the blood stained on the broad-blade machete on the clothes of the one-eyed bandit leader, Xu Xiong led the horse to Zhou Yan's side, and asked with a questioning eye.

He heard Xu Xiong's inquiry, but Zhou Yan didn't explain.

As early as after receiving the letter from Feige with a specified deadline, Zhou Yan knew that there was bound to be a crisis on this journey across the Ailao Mountains.

As for the instigators, they were nothing more than Zhou Fang, Zhou Xing and other cheap brothers who regarded him as a thorn in the side of the Zhou family, and the wives of the Zhou family.

However, how could Zhou Yan say that Xu Xiong, a servant of the Zhou family, knew about these scandals involving the Zhou family.

Zhou Yan rode his horse forward slowly, and said to himself, "It's getting late, hurry up and go through this dense forest and find a place to stay!"

Seeing that Zhou Yan didn't want to say more, Xu Xiong was also very perceptive and didn't ask any more questions. He quickly got on his horse and chased after Zhou Yan.

After coming to Zhou Yan's side, Xu Xiongweng said in a low voice, "Young Master, I have walked through the Ailao Mountains a few times, and there are very few places that can shelter from the wind and rain!
But the villain knows that after passing through this dense forest, there is a deserted mountain temple more than ten miles straight ahead. Why don't we just spend the night in that mountain temple! "

It was the first time for Zhou Yan to walk the Ailao Mountains, and he had no experience at all, so he naturally would not reject Xu Xiong's proposal.

He turned around and nodded to Xu Xiong, saying: "Okay, you go forward and lead the way!"

After that, Xu Xiong hurriedly rode forward, leading Zhou Yan to the dilapidated mountain temple he was talking about.

Galloping all the way under the stars and wearing the moon, until the middle of the moon, Zhou Yan and Xu Xiong had gradually approached the dilapidated mountain temple that Xu Xiong was talking about.

"Shut up!"

Xu Xiong suddenly reined in his horse and stood on the spot, pointing to the front and said: "Young master, the mountain temple is in front of you. Every time my brother and I go to the Ailao Mountains, we will spend the night in that mountain temple." .”

Hearing Xu Xiong's voice, Zhou Yan, who also stopped his horse, looked in the direction Xu Xiong pointed.

Against the bright moon above his head, which was as bright as a white jade plate, Zhou Yan could vaguely see an incomparably dilapidated building standing alone among the mottled shadows of trees.

Looking from a distance, the dilapidated building has been devastated for so many years, and it has already become dilapidated, looking like it will collapse at any time.

Although the mountain temple was dilapidated, it was better than sleeping in the wild, enough to be used as a temporary place to stay.

"Let's go, we will spend the night in this mountain temple tonight!"

With a jerk of the reins in his hand, Zhou Yandang rode his horse and galloped towards the mountain temple.

After driving the mountain road for a whole day, plus the bandits ambushed and intercepted on the way, Zhou Yan was already feeling a little tired.

Now that the mountain temple is close in front of him, he naturally hopes to get there early, so that he can take a rest early, after all, he has to continue his journey tomorrow.

And Xu Xiong also galloped quickly, and rushed to the dilapidated mountain temple together with Zhou Yan.
