It was getting late, and there were only a few people on the spacious ancient road. Most of the passers-by had already found a place to rest, and rested for the night before continuing on their way.
The clatter of horse hoofs suddenly came from a distance. They were a group of lightly-armed knights. The flying hoofs of the horses stirred up the dust on the ground.
There were more than twenty people in the group, each of them had evil looks in their eyes, and their burly bodies stretched their clothes tightly against their bodies.
When the sun was about to set, this knight troop still had no intention of stopping and camping. It seemed that they had a very important mission.
Suddenly, a flock of birds and beasts flew up from the woods ahead.
A brown-haired man headed by the knight immediately stretched out his hand and gestured for the team to stop.
Behind him, a silver-haired young man rode up and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong, Goode?"
The brown-haired man named Goode frowned slightly and said, "There seems to be something wrong ahead. Let's reduce the speed and be careful on the roadside!"
A light flashed in his eyes, and the silver man licked his lips and said eagerly: "Are they those bandits in Huaiyang County? Hehe, these guys are really not afraid of death..."
"Hu Long, don't underestimate these bandits. Even Lord Lin is afraid of the energy they possess..."
The silver-haired man curled his lips, disdain to argue, and rushed forward at the lead.
Gude looked at Hu Long's arrogant back and couldn't help but grit his teeth: "This guy... is really hateful..."
The knights slowed down and scanned the woods on both sides with their eyes vigilantly.
In the woods, more than a hundred men were lying on their knees, looking at the approaching knights through the cover.
"Hey, these guys are really smart. If they slow down so much, our trip rope will be less useful..." Among the prostrate men, a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard complained softly.
Next to him was a young man wearing a coarse cloth shirt. The young man's eyes were slightly narrowed and he was staring at the team of knights.
The middle-aged man looked at the young man and suddenly asked: "Master Tang, is this your first time participating in this kind of mission?"
Tang Fei nodded silently, but did not change his gaze.
"Hehe, it's true that heroes emerge from youth. When I was lucky enough to go on my first mission, I was already almost thirty years old. Now that I think about it, things go by so fast..." the middle-aged man said with some nostalgia.
Tang Fei smiled and whispered: "Brother Zhang, they are coming..."
The middle-aged man whom Tang Fei called Brother Zhang nodded, and then his eyes suddenly shifted. The original lazy look was replaced by a sharp look. Almost instantly, his aura suddenly changed, from an inconspicuous person to an inconspicuous one.
A down-and-out middle-aged man turned into the sharpest assassin.
Tang Fei was secretly surprised. This Zhang Junjie was forty years old this year, and his strength had reached the seventh level of yin and yang. Before joining the bandit elite group, he had experienced a lot of fights. In the end, with his fierceness and his
Specialized in assassination and selected into the elite group.
At that moment, Tang Fei somewhat understood where Brother Zhang's killer skills came from, his aura, and the ability to change his aura instantly.
A moment ago, he was just doing his homework like an ordinary person, but in the blink of an eye, he turned into the most terrifying assassin in the night.
The disguise of momentum is one of the most profound disguises, and this was the first time Tang Fei saw it.
"Master Tang, if you encounter danger soon, run to me and I will help you block it..." Zhang Junjie muttered in a low voice. The enemy was getting closer and closer. The more than a hundred men hiding in the woods were all nervous.
Got up.
Tang Fei did not answer Zhang Junjie because the enemy was already too close. If he spoke at this time, his position would be exposed.
Holding his breath, Tang Fei's muscles tightened up, like an arrow from a bow, ready to go.
The group of knights in front of them came from the Lin family in Dahuang County. There were not only people from the Lin family, but also some disciples from the Wang family in Huaiyang County. According to the information obtained by the bandits, the mission of this group of knights was to lead
With the reward given by the Lin family, he went to Huaiyang County.
In order to meet these knights, the Wang family mobilized government troops and stationed troops at regular intervals to greet them to prevent the most arrogant bandits in the territory from robbing them.
The reward for wiping out the Tang family will definitely not be too stingy. With the Lin family's handiwork, the gift given to the Huaiyang Wang family this time will definitely be a coveted treasure.
The bandits would not miss this great opportunity, so they set up an ambush between the two checkpoints, ready to seize the treasure at any time.
I saw that the knights had entered the middle of the ambush.
The leader, Hong Tianlei, sent a signal from the woods on the other side: "Kill!"
Accompanied by deafening shouts of death, a series of trip ropes suddenly appeared on the road.
The sudden appearance of the trip rope caused some knights to fall to the ground with their horses, but most of the knights were just frightened. After all, Goode had previously ordered to reduce the speed, so the damage caused by the trip rope was very limited.
At the moment when the knights were panicking, black shadows shot out from the woods, the weapons in their hands glowed with cold light, and several lives were harvested in an instant.
Goode's face darkened, and the worst outcome he suspected finally happened.
"All knights abandon their horses and gather in the center!"
The roar spread far away, and the dozen or so knights who survived quickly gathered in the middle area.
These knights are elite knights selected from the Lin family and the Wang family. There are as many as five of them who are strong in the Yin-Yang realm and above.
This kind of power, placed in Huaiyang County, is also the existence of a large family.
It's a pity that their opponent today is the most ferocious bandit in this area. They don't care how strong you are, as long as you have a treasure that makes them excited, they will take action without hesitation.
The imperial court is not afraid of the 100,000-strong army, so naturally it will not be afraid of the Lin family's petty revenge.
"Stop them, don't let them form a circle!" Hong Tianlei shouted at the top of his lungs.
The Lin family's circle formation is also quite famous in the entire Haoyue Empire. The defensive capabilities of the knights who form the circle formation will be greatly improved. When the time comes, the price the bandits will have to pay will be even more heavy. This is the bandits.
Unwilling to bear it.
After hearing the order, Tang Fei, who had just killed a knight, quickly changed his target. Soon, he noticed the silver-haired man.
The silver-haired man looked arrogant, and the long sword in his hand was still dripping with blood. At the beginning, several bandits were killed by him.
Tang Fei's face darkened, and all his strength suddenly concentrated, suddenly bursting out and shooting towards the silver-haired man.
The silver-haired man turned his head and hit his side with his elbow with disdain.
"Bang!"
The fierce impact made the silver-haired man take two steps back, and he was shocked: "Damn, there are masters among these bandits..."
After stabilizing his body, Hu Long could clearly see the face of the person in front of him, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Am I right? The other party is actually a child?" With doubts in his heart, Hu Long did not dare to relax at all. He swung his sword at Tang Fei and slashed at him.
Tang Fei dodged quickly, and at the same time punched the opponent's ribs and punched him again.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and the original disdain in Hu Long's heart disappeared, replaced by deep horror: "It's so fast!"
