Chapter 11 Black Wind Stronghold
Chapter 11 Black Wind Stronghold
After packing her things, Gu Qianbei carried the lotus flowers she had picked and prepared to go home.
Fifteen minutes later, he suddenly heard an angry shout coming from not far away.
"Um?"
Gu Qianbei was startled and immediately hid to the side to check the situation.
Not far away, Blind Cheng was being attacked by a group of people.
"Are they bandits from Cuiwei Mountain?"
With just one glance, Gu Qianbei immediately recognized the identities of these people.
A few days ago, he had heard from Constable Xing that a group of bandits had come to Cuiwei Mountain outside Qixia Town, built a Black Wind Stronghold, and were quite arrogant.
He was worried about running into someone when he went to pick sunflowers before.
However, he already had the Golden Light Spell on him at that time, so he was not afraid of some bandits.
Even if you can't win, you can escape by activating the golden light protecting you.
I never expected to run into this again today.
But it was Blind Cheng who ran into the bandits even more directly than himself.
There were twelve bandits in front of them, and the leader was Sun Hu, the third leader of Black Wind Stronghold.
"Damn it! I waited all morning and all I got was a blind man. What bad luck. But even a fly is still meat, and this horse can still be exchanged for some money."
Hey, you blind bastard! Leave your valuables and this horse behind, and then you can get lost.
Otherwise, I'll chop you in half with one stroke.
Sun Hu, holding a ring-pommel broadsword, said fiercely.
Combined with its ferocious appearance, it looks quite terrifying.
However, if someone becomes blind and cannot see, the deterrent effect is naturally halved.
"I didn't expect to encounter robbers here. This is interesting."
Upon hearing this, the blind man showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he revealed a cold smile.
Over the years, he has traveled all over the country and has naturally encountered many bandits.
With his abilities, he naturally has nothing to fear.
"What are you babbling about? If you don't get out of here, you might as well leave your life behind."
The blind man reached for the cane and knife at his waist with his right hand, and turned his ear toward where Sun Hu was.
Based on the sound, he had already pinpointed the other party's location.
"You talk too much nonsense!"
Sun Hu was furious at Cheng the Blind's provocative words.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't use it! Kill him!"
"Yes, Third Master!"
A bandit rushed forward, leaped up, and slashed at the blind man's head with his sword.
This strike was powerful and heavy, as if it were about to cleave Cheng the Blind Man in two.
But then Cheng the Blind Man tilted his head slightly, pushed the hilt of his sword with his left hand, and half of the cold blade broke through the staff. In an instant, his right hand gripped the hilt and pulled out the long sword completely.
The blade flashed as fast as lightning, grazing the spine of the broadsword before the edge flicked out and cut right into the tendon of the opponent's wrist.
"what!"
The bandit screamed in agony as his broadsword flew from his hand and fell to the ground.
Cheng the Blind then swung his sword horizontally, the blade slicing through the bandit's throat. With a clang, the staff-sword was sheathed again.
The movements were as fast as lightning, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
Only the bandits clutched their throats in terror, staring incredulously at Cheng the Blind, before collapsing with a thud.
One fatal blow!
Clean and efficient!
Even the bandits who were accustomed to killing were stunned by what they saw.
"Such a fast blade. Is this the blind man's signature sword technique, the Loulan Slash?"
Not far away, Gu Qianbei saw this scene and couldn't help but admire it.
That was the purest form of killing technique.
There were no fancy moves; the knife was only used to kill.
Not a single ounce of effort was wasted throughout the entire process.
Only on the battlefield can one hone such highly efficient swordsmanship.
"Damn it! How dare he kill my men! All of you, attack! Kill him!"
After his initial surprise, Sun Hu was overcome with boundless rage.
How dare they kill his people right in front of him! This is an insult!
Upon hearing this, the remaining ten bandits immediately drew their swords and surrounded the blind man, looking for an opportunity to attack.
"What a hassle, but I'll play along!"
As he spoke, the blind man jumped off his horse.
Although he was blind, his hearing was extraordinary.
The wind, the hem of clothes, footsteps, and breaths were all targets to him.
Therefore, the attack by these bandits was not scary for him.
Even their every move was perfectly recreated in his mind through sound.
A gust of wind swept in from the left!
Instead of retreating, the blind man advanced, his body twisting to avoid the blade. At the same time, his left hand, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, gripped the bandit's shoulder and neck joints.
Click!
With a burst of finger strength, the bandit's joints were instantly broken.
With a scream, the bandit collapsed to the ground, writhing and convulsing in pain.
"Dislocated bone!"
Gu Qianbei's eyes lit up again.
This incredibly skillful bone-dislocating technique is another of Cheng Xiaozi's unique skills.
It belongs to a type of grappling, but the moves are ruthless; if you are hit by it, you will either die or be maimed.
Faced with the bandits' screams, the blind man remained silent.
He drew his staff and sword once more, ready to unleash his full power!
Humans have no eyes, but knives seem to have eyes.
Every slash Cheng the Blind Man swung grazed the gaps in the bandits' weapons, making it impossible for them to defend against.
The dislocation technique is even more vicious. With a single touch, a hook, or a twist, the joint will inevitably dislocate and the tendons and bones will inevitably be misaligned, leaving no survivors!
A fatal slash, a severed hand and broken bones!
Screams erupted one after another.
The attack by ten bandits was easily broken by the blind man.
The ground was littered with bandits, some screaming in agony, others dead.
"Amazing. There were no flaws in his attacks, and his moves flowed seamlessly. He could kill with such fluidity."
Gu Qianbei sighed deeply.
Compared to killing, Bai Zhantang is probably far less capable than this blind man.
After all, one was a soft-hearted and cowardly master thief, and the other was a ruthless killer.
Sun Hu, standing to the side, was terrified at the sight.
Where did this guy come from?
How could it be this strong?
"Hey, you're the last one left. Anything else you want to say?"
Cheng the Blind Man raised his chin, his face cold.
"Who exactly are you?!"
Sun Hu exclaimed in surprise.
"Is this all your last words? It's meaningless."
Without another word, Cheng the Blind Man suddenly exerted force with his legs and drew his sword to slash at Sun Hu.
Loulan is annihilated!
Sun Hu was shocked, but he did not intend to surrender.
He immediately raised his ring-pommel sword to parry, but a flash of cold light appeared on the staff-sword, and the ring-pommel sword was directly cut in half!
"What?!"
Sun Hu's eyes widened in terror.
The next moment, a bloody mark appeared on his face.
Sun Hu died after falling from his horse.
As Cheng the Blind Man landed, he turned his cane and sword, and they were already sheathed.
"You've been looking for a while, come out now."
Cheng the Blind Man turned his body to the side, his ear pointing in the direction of Gu Qianbei, and slowly spoke.
Seeing that the blind man had discovered her, Gu Qianbei stopped hiding and came out directly.
"Brother, your skills are truly impressive. You dealt with these bandits in the blink of an eye. I admire you."
Gu Qianbei cupped his hands in greeting.
"Just some trash. You're from Qixia Town too, right? Call your town's constables over here to collect these bandits' corpses, and see if you'll give me any reward money."
Having become accustomed to acting as a ghostwriter while being blind, the first thing that came to mind was naturally offering a reward.
"It is said that there are over a hundred bandits on Cuiwei Mountain, and the county government has been unable to deal with them for a while. In order not to provoke them, the county government has not even dared to issue a reward."
Gu Qianbei shook his head and said.
"Is this county government so cowardly? We're going to suffer a huge loss this time."
Cheng the blind man immediately started cursing.
But just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from afar.
"How dare you kill my Black Wind Stronghold members! Leave your lives behind!"
