Chapter 38 The man in purple

When the accident happened, Shen Yuexi was admiring the scenery outside through the car window.

The ox cart was passing through a remote and quiet mountain col. The mountain blocked the western sun and the surrounding area became dark. The ox cart was moving slowly in the shadows.

Although she had walked there several times, she felt a little uncomfortable this time.

Without sunlight, the trees on the hillside became gloomy, and even the air had a cold taste.

Not a single pedestrian could be seen on the road, and there were neither cicadas nor birds chirping in the woods. It was as if all the small animals had left here, and it was so quiet that it was uneasy.

"My grandson couldn't get up from sleep in the morning," Dr. Hua said with a smile while pouring tea, "I had to hire a temporary coachman..."

There was a muffled "bang" sound from the carriage wall, as if the driver's back hit it on the head.

Shen Yuexi's heart skipped a beat and she turned to look at Dr. Hua sitting opposite.

This sudden sound made her previously uneasy even more intense.

Doctor Hua looked confused, put down the teapot, patted the carriage, and shouted: "What's wrong? Why did it stop suddenly?"

There was no response, but the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard.

Shen Yuexi and Doctor Hua looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

The two stood up and pushed open the car door almost at the same time. Shen Yuexi was the first to jump out of the car, walked around the open door, and saw the driver with his back to her, lying under the shaft of the bullock cart.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Shen Yuexi thought that the coachman was suffering from an emergency such as a heart attack, so she quickly ran over, squatted down, reached out and grabbed the coachman's shoulders, and turned him over.

At first glance, she was so frightened that she almost sat on the ground.

There was an arrow stuck in the driver's left eye, and blood was dripping down the arrow shaft and falling to the ground.

Shen Yuexi, who had experienced the massacre at the temple and the enemy's pursuit, only panicked for a moment and quickly calmed down. No matter who shot the arrow, the coachman must be treated quickly. She turned around and called:

"Doctor Hua, this man was hit by an arrow!"

Doctor Hua had already come closer, pulled up his sleeves and stretched out two fingers to test under the coachman's nose, and then put them against the coachman's neck. There was a look of sadness in his eyes, and he shook his head.

The bushes on the hillside rustled, and several figures appeared, walking along the hillside towards the bullock cart.

Doctor Hua glanced at it, nervously held on to the shaft of the car, and whispered to her:

"Yes...it's a bandit."

Shen Yuexi's heart tightened. He would actually encounter bandits in broad daylight.

Feng Zhang had said before that there were bandits making trouble here. But there was nothing going on here and there, so she had forgotten about it.

A total of four people came down from the hillside. They were all tall and round, holding bright swords. They were all dressed in coarse cloth with short lapels and open chests. Their faces were full of evil spirits. They were not good people at first glance.

The leader of the bandit, who had a sarcoma on his forehead, walked at the front, holding his bow behind him.

The first thing that came to Shen Yuexi's mind was Xiao Zhuo. If her husband was here... But the fact is that Xiao Zhuo is not by her side, and Doctor Hua is a frail old man. She must find a way to protect herself.

"Don't resist, they only want money, give them all the money..."

As Dr. Hua spoke, he reached into his arms to take out his money bag. His hand stopped midway. His eyes fell on Shen Yuexi's face in horror, and then he looked at the bandits walking down the hillside. He showed a fearful look and whispered:

"Hurry... hurry back to the carriage."

Shen Yuexi naturally understood why Doctor Hua was so panicked.

The original owner was extremely beautiful, but the bandits were all thugs who killed without blinking an eye and didn't follow any rules at all. Once they saw beauty, how could they let it go.

In her previous life, she was just a researcher, not an agent, nor a killer. Facing four villains, she had no chance of winning. The only way now was to try not to let them see her.

There is open space all around, and only the carriage can hide.

Shen Yuexi quickly ran back to the car, closed the door with her backhand, and locked the door with trembling hands. She locked it several times before inserting the latch.

At this time, the bandits' ferocious laughter could be heard outside the carriage. One of them said:

"Brother, this old man is quite sensible and has prepared the money himself."

"Your Majesty, I am a doctor. This is all our money. Please be kind to me, Your Majesty."

There was the sound of hands shaking money bags outside the carriage.

"Since we have said so, then we brothers should not make things difficult for this doctor. If we really want to kill him, who will show us who has a headache and fever in the future?"

"That's right, brother is right."

"Thank you... Your Majesty for not killing me."

Another bandit's voice sounded: "Brother, one of them ran into the car just now. I heard that the voice was a woman."

"female?"

Shen Yuexi, who was huddled in a corner of the car far away from the door and was smearing his face with ink, suddenly stopped and felt his heart skip a beat.

The bandits heard her turn and call for Doctor Hua.

"Your Majesty, that's..." Doctor Hua's voice just sounded, and then stopped abruptly with a muffled sound.

"This old man actually dares to block us."

The bandits' evil laughter sounded from behind the car door, and then the car door vibrated twice, but could not be opened because the latch was locked.

Shen Yuexi felt as if something was blocking her chest and she couldn't breathe.

The small latch on the car door can't stop the bandits at all. They will break in immediately.

She reached into her arms and held the knife tightly. If the bandits broke into the carriage, she would risk her life.

This knife was a scalpel made by Big Bear in the cave when she and Xiao Zhuo were escaping. It was extremely sharp. If the other party was careless, it was not impossible to stab one to death. As for what would happen next, she had not considered it yet.

The car window was lifted up, revealing the face of a man with a fierce look and a tumor on his forehead. It was the bandit leader. He looked at Shen Yuexi like a vicious wolf looking at its cornered prey.

"Open the door obediently, otherwise..."

Only halfway through what he said, Shen Yuexi had already stabbed out the knife.

There would be absolutely no good results from opening the door, so she thought it would be better to strike first.

The knife was unexpected. The bandit leader let out a sharp scream, covered his eyes with his hands and stepped back. The knife was inserted into his left eye, and blood dripped down his fingers.

"Ah... kill her," the bandit leader's roar sounded outside the car, "kill her!"

As soon as Shen Yuexi's eyes fell on the two closed car doors, she saw a "ding" sound, and half of the sharp blade was inserted from the top of the door crack, slashing downward. The thin latch was bent in an instant. .If you try again, it will definitely be smashed open.

Shen Yuexi was thinking rapidly in her mind.

The universal manufacturing machine cannot harm lives, so it is impossible to expect it to kill the opponent directly. The bandit leader asked them to kill her, and to kill people, they must use a knife. Just let the big bear use all the raw materials of four knives and a small knife in an instant Lose.

"Big Bear, help me make it quickly..."

All I could think about was knives, and I couldn't think of anything else for a moment. But what kind of knife would use a lot of iron?

"Qinglong Yanyue Sword!" she blurted out.

"Dear master, we are collecting the raw materials required for the Qinglong Yanyue Sword...the progress is 40%...60%..."

The bandits' unanimous screams came from outside the carriage.

"Where's the knife?"

"Where's my knife?"

"What the hell!"

"60%...60%...Dear master, there is insufficient raw materials and manufacturing is interrupted."

"Stop making it." Shen Yuexi put her hand on her chest and let out a long breath. The fact that the big bear couldn't make it meant that there was no iron around to collect.

The carriage door opened with a crash, and the bandit leader appeared angrily at the door, raising his foot on the carriage step.

"Kill you!"

The knife in his left eye had disappeared, and half of his face was bleeding. He roared and stretched out his hands to grab Shen Yuexi.

In Shen Yuexi's eyes, these big hands stained with blood are chains that threaten life.

She had no choice but to retreat. She raised the teapot on the table with both hands and was about to throw it at the bandit leader. Suddenly, a purple shadow flashed outside. A cold sword tip suddenly appeared from the bandit leader's throat, and then it flashed away. , leaving a horrific gash on his throat.

The bandit leader suddenly stopped, covered his neck with both hands, and turned around with his throat gurgling. Blood gushed out from his throat like a fountain, spraying on the car door and the ground, as if red dye had been spilled.

As the bandit fell to the ground, a young man appeared.

The man was wearing a purple splendid robe. His face was like a crown of jade, his body was tall and straight, and his long brows showed elegance and shrewdness. The long sword in his hand was pointing diagonally towards the ground, and a string of blood drops were hanging on the blade and slowly flowing down.

Behind him, the other three bandits fell to the ground and died, all with swords in their throats.

Four corpses surrounded the man in the center.

Shen Yuexi was stunned.

This man actually killed four bandits in the blink of an eye.
