Chapter 348 Bandits From Another Dimension
Fang Ming's hand holding the sword was trembling...
He never expected that when he respected his father's orders and went out to visit Shibo, he was passing through this place just to stay for one night, but he would encounter such a cruel thief.
This group of thieves came out of nowhere. They all had strange looks and were covered in animal skins. They were mumbling nonsense that they couldn't understand. They were like savages who killed people and snatched things they saw... Follow you. All his servants were killed, and even Uncle Yan, who was responsible for protecting him, was no match for the thief leader...
Speaking of which, the bandit leader is indeed powerful. Uncle Yan is a third-level master certified by the imperial court. Ordinary bandits and bandits will retreat when they see his aura. This group of barbaric thieves were killed several times by Uncle Yan at the beginning. In the end, the leader of the thieves did not know what method he used, and he did not see how he acted. Uncle Yan's hands and feet suddenly stopped obeying his orders, and even his body-protecting aura was gone. In the chaos, the thief next to him took the opportunity to hit his head with a hammer. He fell to the ground seriously injured and was hacked to death with random knives.
Although all the servants around him were killed, Fang Ming was also bloody. With the sword in his hand and the swordsmanship taught by a famous master, he stabbed several thieves in the melee. However, as the townspeople and government officials surrendered one after another, Fang Ming was the only one left in the town who was still resisting. The leader of the thieves was probably out of fun, and instead of ordering a siege, he asked one of the thieves to duel Fang Ming, and everyone gathered to watch the excitement.
In front of him was an enemy who was taller and more fierce than him, surrounded by thieves who were talking in an incomprehensible language, laughing and joking loudly, and beside him there was a bandit raiding formation with some mysterious means. Fang Ming knew that there was no possibility of escape. .
But the man of the Fang family can only die standing up, not live on his knees. Even if it is a certain death situation, he will drag a thief on his back!
Thinking of this, Fang Ming clenched the long sword in his hand, roared angrily, spotted the opponent's flaw, and used a meteor flying move, stabbing straight towards the opponent!
This is the move that Fang Ming has practiced most skillfully. It is extremely powerful, but once used, there is no room for turning back. It is a life-threatening move that requires advancement and no retreat. I had never used it before, just to finally catch him by surprise and kill a thief!
The thief didn't expect that the young master was hiding such a trick. He had no time to dodge and could only block with his sword. However, the sword in Fang Ming's hand was a first-class sharp weapon. The oxtail sword broke into two pieces upon impact. Fang Ming's sword edge continued unabated and went straight for the thief's heart!
But just when the tip of the sword was about to hit, Fang Ming suddenly felt that his hands and feet were not in control. When his feet braked suddenly, his wrists automatically exerted force and deflected the sword. While the thief avoided the attack, he also He lost his balance and fell to the ground, biting his head.
It's this weird move again... Fang Ming looked at the smiling thief next to him with his hands raised. He gritted his teeth and was about to get up when he felt someone stepped on his back, and a half-cut knife was pressed against his neck, making him unable to move.
"You shameless thieves!" Fang Ming yelled, holding the sword and planning to fight back, but the leader of the thieves suddenly hooked his fingers at him, and Fang Ming felt his palms open uncontrollably, and the sword fell out of his hands, and then floated on its own. He got up and slowly flew into the hands of the thief leader.
The leader of the thieves held Fang Ming's sword, looked at it carefully, and then struck at the bluestone next to it.
With a clang, a corner of the bluestone was cut off. The triangular cut was smooth and flat. Looking at the sword blade, there was no trace of damage.
"Excellent steel!" The leader of the thieves praised: "Utopia's military factory does not have materials of this quality."
Naturally, Fang Ming couldn't understand what this guy was talking about, so he could only continue to curse. However, the thief leader also lost his patience and ordered his men: "Kill him."
The strong thief nodded, raised the broken knife with a grin, and was about to wipe Fang Ming's neck.
Knowing that he was about to die, Fang Ming resignedly closed his eyes, but the expected cold touch never came. Instead, the pressure on his back suddenly disappeared, and then there was a thud of falling to the ground around him. At the same time, the surrounding people The exclamations of the gangsters were also heard.
Fang Ming opened his eyes and found a headless corpse lying next to him. It was the bandit he had just fought with. The bandits watching around him became agitated. The leader of the bandit in the middle was no longer calm. He stood up with a look on his face. Looking here in surprise.
Is there any expert who can help?
A disciple of the Sword Master? Or an expert from Tianmen?
Fang Ming immediately imagined a domineering scene in his mind of a majestic old man with a white beard coming to the rescue, or a beautiful scene of a fairy in white appearing gracefully.
He turned around to look expectantly, but was completely shocked by the sight in front of him.
I saw a naked man standing not far away, wearing only a pair of large pants, holding a human head in his hand.
What's even more surprising is that this man has a scarf wrapped around his face, blocking the lower half of his face...
This is... an expert who comes to help, or a pervert...
The bandit leader frowned and looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Just now, this man appeared without warning and instantly killed his blessed men... You know, after being blessed, not only the strength is greatly enhanced, but the body is also covered with invisible armor, which can even withstand musket fire. !
But in front of this man, the invisible armor is useless...and his speed is too fast for people to react. If the target of the move just now was himself, wouldn't it be...
Luo Jun dropped the head in his hand and turned around to look around.
There should be no acquaintances...
This time, he took off the midnight mask in advance. After all, the mask was too famous. Even if no one saw it, it would be associated with night. He had just shown his skills in [Utopia] and came to [Wulin] the next moment. It was easy for people to know his movements.
So he simply put away the mask. There were no cameras in this world. Even if he showed his face, as long as there were no acquaintances, people would not associate it with Luo Jun if he was described verbally. But to be on the safe side, he still took out a scarf of ordinary quality from the treasure box to cover his face.
Luo Jun's eyes finally fell on the face of the thief leader. He frowned slightly, then opened his mouth and said a name in the common language of Xiluo:
"Douglas?"
The thief leader heard it and immediately widened his eyes: "Do you know me? Are you from there too?"
Luo Jun snorted coldly. Although his translation treasure had been returned, he had some basic knowledge of Xiluo language. In addition, he had heard a lot in [Utopia] in the past few days. With his current mental strength, his learning progress has advanced by leaps and bounds. Although he has not mastered it completely, he can complete a simple conversation.
"I have seen your wanted order." Luo Jun looked at Douglas with a cold look: "The leader of the Fanged Hound!"
That's right, this Douglas, and other bandits, are the Fanged Hounds that the city defense army mentioned before, who were causing trouble in the south of Parami City!
According to officer Raymond, this gang of bandits was defeated by them in the south fortress and fled to the depths of the desert. Unexpectedly, this gang of deserters actually discovered the Gate of All Worlds in the desert and came to [Wulin]!
So it seems that they peeled the bear skin, killed the wild beasts along the way, and even found the town at the foot of the mountain to burn, kill and loot!
Although most of the Fanged Hounds were defeated outside the city of Parami, and the remaining remnants were only about 200 people, and they lost their equipment when they passed through the Gate of All Worlds, but as bandits, their cruelty is far from that of ordinary people. In addition, the leader of the Fanged Hounds was blessed in an ancient ruin. Although these bandits have not practiced vitality, with the blessing of Douglas's ability, they will have a protective shield similar to Gangqi on their bodies, and their strength and defense will be greatly enhanced, so that the soldiers and yamen runners in the [Wulin] town who have some martial arts skills are not opponents, and the whole town cannot resist the attack of this gang of bandits.
Looking at this scene, Luo Jun sighed. Although it was an unintentional act, the bandits' escape to this place was also related to his Gate of All Worlds.
Of course, Luo Jun did not regret it. It was related to the life and death of his master. If he was given another chance, he would still decisively open the Gate of All Worlds. However, looking at this dilapidated town and the dead and injured people, he could not help feeling a little guilty... But at the same time, he also felt hatred for these bandits!
"Bandits are bandits. They can't change their bad natures no matter where they go." Luo Jun looked at Douglas coldly. The murderous aura in his eyes made the arrogant bandit leader feel a little cold in his heart.
After a shudder, Douglas raised his hands without hesitation and used all his strength to activate his control ability on Luo Jun!
This ability feels very wonderful when activated, just like playing a musical instrument. Douglas instinctively knows how to operate it to make the opponent react, just like a skilled musician who knows which string to pluck and what sound will be produced.
But at this moment, when he tried to control Luo Jun, he felt that he was not plucking the delicate strings, but the pillars supporting the dome in the palace!
What kind of monster is this? It is impossible to control it...
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the naked masked man disappeared in a flash. Then he felt dizzy in front of his eyes. With a thud, his head seemed to hit something. Looking carefully, he saw a headless corpse in front of him. Behind the corpse, the masked man stood...
"This is... my body... Where is my head?"
This was Douglas' last thought...
Seeing Douglas' death, the bandits under his command were also panicked. In their eyes, the boss had magical powers and was like a god... But now, this god has fallen. How can they have the courage to fight against the "god-killing" Luo Jun? They just hesitated for a moment and dropped their weapons and ran away.
Luo Jun naturally did not intend to let them go. He took out the Tomb King's urn, released the undead warriors inside, and began to chase these guys.
Without Douglas's ability, these bandits were not even at the Solidification Realm. They were just strong ordinary people without any weapons. How could they resist these undead warriors? They were caught and killed soon.
Luo Jun looked at the shining urn and thought that although it was stuck with the strange crystal, it did not affect its use... On the contrary, those undead warriors seemed to have more flexible legs and feet than before, and their movements were smoother... Could it be that they were strengthened?
Seeing that the bandits were killed, the townspeople who escaped from death were relieved... But they were not happy at all. Their houses were destroyed and their families were killed. Even if they survived, they could not return to their happy lives.
The embarrassed old man who was stepped on by Douglas before also climbed up, came to Luo Jun, and bowed his hands respectfully and said: "This hero... I am the local county magistrate. On behalf of the surviving townspeople in the county, I sincerely thank you for your help. However, the town was robbed by bandits and there were heavy casualties. I am afraid that I can't pay much... If the hero doesn't mind, you can stay in the town for a few more days and let us treat you well..."
"You're welcome..." Luo Jun waved his hand: "It's just a small favor. As a local official, you should lead the people to rebuild their homes... By the way, is there an oil mill in the town? Or other flammable things that can start fires?"
"Yes! Yes!" The county magistrate immediately arranged for someone to get it. Luo Jun controlled the undead warriors to drag the bodies of the bandits back, piled them in an open space, poured oil on them, and set them on fire.
Although these bandits were dead, they still showed the characteristics of the [Utopia] world from their appearance. If they were left behind and seen by the people of the Yuan Xiu Society, they would inevitably arouse suspicion. After the burning, there was no physical object, so it was difficult to accurately describe it by relying on the oral description of the surviving townspeople.
As for the undead warriors, the townspeople did not react much.
This place is close to the southern border. There is a tribe in the southern border tribe that specializes in practicing the art of controlling corpses and ghosts. Although this kind of practitioner who controls zombies to fight is rare, everyone has heard of it and only regards Luo Jun as a master who is proficient in the art of controlling ghosts.
After dealing with the robber's body, Luo Jun asked for a set of coarse cloth clothes to put on, and planned to leave this place. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped.
"Please stay, benefactor!"
Luo Jun looked back and saw that it was the boy who had dueled with the robber before.
When Zhang Luo was cleaning up the robber's body, the boy also expressed his gratitude to Luo Jun and gave him gold and silver, but was rejected by Luo Jun. He remembered that the boy seemed to be called Fang Ming. Judging from his clothes and behavior, he should not be a child from an ordinary family.
"I wonder which direction you are going?"
Luo Jun was slightly stunned, and thought for a while: "I am also traveling around the world, without any clear purpose..."
"Then I have an unwelcome request..." Fang Ming gritted his teeth and said: "I am from the Hedong family. This time I obeyed my father's order and went to Yunzhou City to visit friends. I didn't expect to encounter bad guys when I stayed here..."
"All the servants who accompanied me died here, especially one of the guards. His hometown is in Yunzhou. This time he came to visit his relatives, but he didn't expect to die here with me... I want to transport the body of the guard to Yunzhou and give it to his family to return to his roots, but it is really inconvenient for me to go alone, and I am worried about encountering bad guys along the way... So..."
"So you want to hire me to escort you to Yunzhou City?" Luo Jun understood what Fang Ming meant.
"I dare not say I am hiring..." Fang Ming explained, "I am just asking you for help. Of course, I will give you a generous gift to express my gratitude!"
"Only the guard?" Luo Jun looked at Fang Ming, "What about the other servants?"
"Others..." Fang Ming explained, "It is a long way to transport the others back, so we can only bury them on the spot..."
Luo Jun looked at Fang Ming and thought that it was only a hundred miles from here to Yunzhou City, so it would not take much time, so he nodded and agreed.
