Chapter 21: Life and Death (Part 2)

  Qin Yu's hands were clasped together in front of his chest, his eyes gazing out the window at the endless sky. On his shoulder, the black eagle stood quietly, having just returned from a trip to Yanjing City. Qin Yu understood that the eagle had gone out to hunt for food. At Yunwu Mountain Villa, the eagle spent most of its day hunting.

  "The horse thief is here again!"

  A wave of terrified screams came from outside the village, Qin Yu's brow furrowed involuntarily, and his feet could clearly feel the subtle vibrations of the ground.

  "Bandits are coming again!" At the sound, Tieshan, who was beside Xiaolu, suddenly stood up and grabbed the Xuan Tie war knife that had been placed aside. Qin Yu, on the other hand, had already walked out of the door: "Dashi, there are many people coming, estimated to be around a hundred!" As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yu disappeared, and the black eagle on his shoulder rose into the sky.

  Tie Shan immediately grasped his Xuan Tie war knife and charged out of the village with a fierce killing intent.

  Outside the village.

  A burly man with a shaggy beard, clad in black robes, walked up to Bai San's corpse and took a close look.

  "Hmm, didn't expect that a small place like this would have a master of external skills." Wu's mouth corners slightly curled up, and he glanced at the villagers in front of him with a hint of disdain. Some of them were filled with fear, their hands trembling as they gripped their axes and knives.

  Wu Yun smiled slightly, then swept his gaze away, but suddenly his eyes were completely focused on Qin Yu who had just appeared. He looked at Qin Yu's clothes carefully and laughed: "This friend doesn't seem to be from this village, does he?"

  Although Qin Yu's style was ordinary, Wu Yun still had an eye for it and saw at a glance that the fabric of Qin Yu's clothes was extremely valuable and not something that ordinary people could wear.

  "Right." Qin Yu asked back, "You are the leader of the Black Wind Horse Bandits, aren't you?"

  "Smart. You killed Bai San, didn't you?" Wu Yun pointed at the person under his feet and asked casually. Qin Yu nodded slightly, and upon seeing Qin Yu nod, Wu Yun's face suddenly broke into a smile, but his eyes turned cold and stern.

  "You know it's the Black Wind Horse Bandits, and you still dare to take action?" Wu Fen's body was still surging with energy, and his black robes fluttered up, revealing the terrifying muscles on his body. "Brothers, what do you think we should do?" Wu Fen looked at the people behind him.

  "Kill!" All the horse bandits were already enraged when they saw the fifty corpses, and now one by one picked up their battle knives.

  Wu Yun looked at Qin Yu and said: "Little brother, let's play a game of two hands, whoever loses will die."

  Qin Yu's body moved slightly, and his entire being was filled with a crackling sound. His ten fingers clenched into fists, and a faint glow ignited in his eyes as he stared at the black-robed figure: "You should be stronger than that White San, don't disappoint me."

  "Lao Er, slaughter the village, I'll have some fun with this kid." Wu Yun gave the order very casually.

  "Yes, big brother!"

  Jia Ming's eyes lit up immediately, and he exclaimed excitedly: "Brothers, let's slaughter the village! Remember to leave a few more women, haha, take action!" A soft sword appeared in Jia Ming's hand, standing aside watching Wu Yun and Qin Yu. He didn't even plan to participate in the massacre, as those ordinary people in the village weren't worth his effort as a high-ranking master of the Post-Heaven stage.

  "What, slaughter the village?" Qin Yu's heart shook, and he suddenly felt a great sense of urgency.

  "In any case, we absolutely cannot let them slaughter the village. Catching thieves starts with catching the leader, kill that old man first and then talk." Qin Yu was like a gentle breeze as he flashed by, his body following a strange trajectory to appear in front of Wu Yun.

  "What a swift speed, what an exquisite movement." Wu Yun's heart was shocked, but his body didn't move at all.

  "Pffft!"

  A lightning-fast sweep, Qin Yu often trains his leg strength under the waterfall, plus heavy squats or long-distance running with weights, all of which are the most intense exercises for leg strength. Qin Yu's strongest attacking part is his legs.

  Firstly, Qin Yu used his strongest attack.

  Pong!

  Qin Yu's right leg kicked heavily on Wu Yun's foot, "What!" Qin Yu's face suddenly changed greatly, a terrifying aura actually came directly from Wu Yun's foot, not only easily blocking Qin Yu's attack, but also continuing to attack Qin Yu.

  "Seeking death!" Wu Yun unleashed a high-pressure kick, like a giant blade chopping down. Qin Yu immediately pushed off with both hands and shot up into the air like a bird taking flight, then rolled over and escaped.

  One of Wu Yun's legs heavily chopped onto the ground, a loud rumbling sound erupted, smoke and dust flew up, when the smoke and dust dissipated, a huge deep pit appeared before everyone's eyes, just one leg achieved such power, Wu Yun's strength was indeed terrifying to the extreme.

  "You detestable little brat!" Wu Yun suddenly flew into a rage.

  "Crack!"

  His hands turned into claws, directly grasping and tearing apart the spine of a horse thief. Qin Yu's body flashed continuously, as agile as a willow in the gentle breeze, as fast as lightning. His well-trained flexible body perfectly displayed his movements, darting between the horse thieves.

  One move kill!

  Not wasting a single moment, Qin Yu's figure arrived at a place, and the horse bandits there were about to meet their end.

  "That guy is terrifying, his internal strength has reached that level, it should be the master of internal strength cultivation that Grandfather talked about, I estimate he's on the same level as those eight external masters from before, he's really too strong, my attacks can't break through his defense." Qin Yu was shocked in his heart, "First take care of these ordinary horse bandits and then talk."

  Qin Yu originally planned to 'catch the thief first, catch the king', but later failed and was worried that too many people in the village would be killed, so he decided to kill the ordinary horse thieves first.

  All the horse bandits were frightened, this young man was too terrifying, one move could wipe them out, they were not internal family masters, these ordinary horse bandits no matter how strong they were, were no match for Bai San, and Bai San had been easily killed by Qin Yu, what chance did those people have to fight back?

  "Brothers, let's kill him together!" one of the bandits shouted loudly, and the other bandits were stunned, no longer eager to kill the villagers. They all attacked Qin Yu, with so many people surrounding him.

  "Be careful." Tieshan shouted hastily, and the other villagers who were watching were all worried about Qin Yu.

  Qin Yu didn't care about her smile.

  "What's the big deal about being surrounded? With speed and agility at their peak, one can remain unscathed even amidst a thousand horses and ten thousand soldiers. Now there are only a few dozen bandits left, what's the fuss?" Qin Yu's figure flashed like lightning as he charged into the midst of the bandits.

  Although these horse bandits were cutting wildly, Qin Yu's body was light and easy to dodge, every time he kicked out, every time he punched out, he could easily kill a horse bandit.

  "Kid, if you have skills, don't hide." Wu Yun rushed over quickly.

  "That guy is too strong, it's better to avoid him for now." Qin Yu's figure expanded, his range of movement increased, and he attacked the horse bandits one by one from the outside. Although Wu Yun was extremely powerful in terms of physical strength, he seemed to be inferior to Qin Yu in terms of agility.

  "Second brother, hurry up!" Wu Fen shouted loudly.

  Jia Ming also rushed up immediately, Jia Ming's lightness and agility were slightly better than Wu Yun's, but he still had no way to deal with Qin Yu's strange movements. He was right in front of him, but the next moment he was several meters away on his side.

  "Ah!"

  One bandit's eyes widened, a shrill cry of despair, but his head flew up, Qin Yu's extremely fast knife kick, actually kicked off the head with one leg. This was the last ordinary bandit, in just five minutes or so, nearly a hundred bandits were killed.

  It was mainly because of the presence of Wu Yun and Jia Ming, two great masters, that Qin Yu's attack speed slowed down.

  "Whoosh!"

  With a slight movement of his foot, Qin Yu's body shot up into the air and he jumped onto a tree outside the village. Standing on the treetop, Qin Yu coldly looked at the two powerful experts below.

  "That bastard killed all my brothers, I must tear him apart!!!" Wu Meng's anger reached its peak, his entire body's strength erupted, the black robe on his body exploded into shredded cloth, drifting in the air, Wu Meng's body was surrounded by visible streams of energy, his muscles still trembling.

  "Magnificent Bull Strength", although it is an internal skill, it is a method that combines muscle strength and internal power. Wu Yun's innate strength was great to begin with, and after practicing "Magnificent Bull Strength", the combination of internal and external forces allowed him to reach the limits of human potential, his actual strength was terrifyingly strong.

  "Big Brother, let me cut him off!" Jia Ming's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the internal force in his body surged. In terms of internal force alone, he was on the same level as Wu Yun. Wu Yun was only stronger because his internal power and physical strength were combined, these two great masters weren't ordinary people like Bai San.

  Looking at the two great masters in front of him, Qin Yu secretly lamented: "That horse thief leader has already reached the limit of post-heavenly cultivation and can be compared to the eight great external skill masters of the past. This second-in-command with a soft sword is not much worse either, and his weapon is also an unconventional soft sword. Once he infuses internal energy, his attack will definitely be strange and unpredictable."
