Chapter 11: The Chilling Art of Murder (Revised)

  On the watchtower, there was a bandit with a gun on his back. The other five bandits were either sitting or leaning in the hidden fortifications below. Compared to the bandit pacing back and forth on the watchtower, the bandits in the fortifications below were chatting and bragging in twos and threes, looking exceptionally relaxed.

  Considering that special operations are different from the past, Xu Bin carefully observed the distribution of these bandits. Five bandits sat below, three on one side and two on the other. As long as he could quietly take out one side of the bandits, Dogzi could use his bow and arrow to shoot and kill the bandits in the guard tower.

  After thinking clearly about the specific battle plan, Xu Bin pulled Gouz to his side and pointed at the bandit on the watchtower: "Gouz, can you shoot that guy up there with one arrow?"

  The dog looked at its own position and nodded: "It's okay, but what about those few people down there?"

  Regarding the concern for Dogzi, Xu Bin calmly said: "You just need to take care of the bandit on the watchtower, this one arrow may determine the success or failure of today's action, it must be done without any mistake. Do you understand?

  And you must time your move perfectly with me, I'll take care of the two bandits in the right-hand sentry post first. With Old Du watching from behind, as soon as he sees me make a surprise attack on the left-hand bandit sentry post, you must shoot and kill the bandit on the watchtower immediately. If you're even a fraction of a second slow, the bandit on the watchtower will likely sound the alarm. Can you guarantee that you'll take him out with one shot?

  "For this shot, Dogzi seemed very confident and said: 'No problem, it's less than twenty steps from the guard tower, and with such an obvious target, if I still can't hit it, then the reputation of the godly archer would be in vain. But are you sure it's okay for you to sneak in alone, Young Master?'"

  Compared to Xu Bin's concern about whether he could shoot and kill the bandits on the watchtower with one arrow, Gouzi was more worried that Xu Bin, who had entered alone, could really wipe out all five bandits inside without alerting the other bandits.

  Looking at Old Du, who was usually taciturn, also with a worried expression looking at himself, Xu Bin, who had used his dagger to cut off a few wooden thorns on the way, chuckled and flicked out one of the thorns in front of the two.

  Looking at the big tree about ten meters away from the three people's hiding position, the wooden thorn that was flicked out by Xu Bin's hand actually landed directly on it. Both of them felt that the wooden thorn, which was not taken seriously at first, had become a deadly weapon in the hands of this young master.

  Even a hard outer tree can be pierced, it can be imagined that when the sharp wooden thorn is thrown at people, what will be the consequences. For a moment, the eyes of two people looking at Xu Bin also had a hint of admiration and frenzy.

  Xu Bin, who had made up his mind, didn't say much and walked alone towards the sentry post. He looked at Shao Dangjia, who was crawling forward in the grass like a mountain snake, and felt that Dogzi and Old Du were waiting behind him.

  Just this one move is the ultimate skill, I'm sure both of them are wondering how they can't do it. It seems that these people have been using their old perspective to look at this young master who has just taken over the mountain stronghold, and they really are blind to the obvious!

  Xu Bin, dressed in black, crouched outside the wooden fence, carefully watching the movements of the five bandits, just as a gust of mountain wind whistled through the surrounding forest. Dogzi and Old Du, who were paying attention to Xu Bin's actions, blinked and found that Xu Bin had disappeared from his original position.

  What the hell?

  The two of them shivered inexplicably, and soon discovered that there was a slight swaying motion inside the fence. If they hadn't been constantly observing the movement in that direction, they wouldn't have believed it was someone sliding around.

  Awesome!

  The dog, who had been gazing at each other in dismay for a moment, suppressed the shock in his heart and began to untie the hard bow on his back, pulling out an iron arrow and putting it on. He quickly focused all his attention on the bandits on the watchtower, waiting for Old Du to stare at Xu Bin's movements.

  Just as the bandits on the watchtower turned to patrol to the right, Xu Bin moved from his hiding place in the bushes, throwing out a wooden stake that pierced one of the bandits less than five meters away. Like a mountain leopard, he covered another bandit's throat and cut open a path at the same time.

  When the bandits on the watchtower turned around, the two bandits who had been killed by Xu Bin were still leaning against the hidden fortifications, just like before. The only difference was that the two bandits who were chatting earlier were now unusually quiet.

  How cruel!

  He, who had been a bandit for some years, was shocked to see Xu Bin kill two live bandits in just a few seconds. Especially when he saw Xu Bin cut the opponent's throat, he couldn't help but touch his own throat, relieved that it wasn't him whose throat was cut tonight.

  Just as he was lamenting that he wasn't the enemy of this cruel young master, another guard tower bandit turned his head to patrol to the right. In the instant he turned around, Xu Bin made a move again. The distance between the two sides was less than 20 meters, and it was broken through in the blink of an eye. This lightning-fast raid, if Old Du hadn't been staring closely, might not have noticed that Xu Bin had already rushed over.

  Recalling Xu Bin's entrustment just now, Old Du said calmly: "Shoot!"

  As soon as Lao Du's "shoot" order was given, the bandit standing on the watchtower felt that something was moving below and was shot dead by Gouzi's accurate iron arrow on the watchtower.

  When the two men looked to their right again, they saw that one of the bandits closest to Xu Bin had been shot through the throat with a wooden stake. As for the other two bandits who were slightly farther away, they could also see that these two bandits were being pressed to the ground by Xu Bin and struggling.

  As the two men rushed over to help, they found that Xu Bin was lying flat on his back with a bandit pinned under his arm, who had been stabbed directly in the mouth with a short knife. Another bandit, slightly further away, had his neck twisted off by Xu Bin's legs like scissors.

  Looking at the expressionless face, but being stained with fresh blood spouting from the bandit's mouth, making Xu Bin look like a demon, before the two could speak, he let out a 'heh heh' and laughed, instantly making the two feel goosebumps all over their bodies.

  At this time, the usually taciturn young master unexpectedly possessed such a strong ability, not to mention that his calm attitude after killing someone was probably not something that the two of them could be compared to.

  If it were this young master of the Black Wind Fortress who suddenly launched a sneak attack on them today, thinking about the consequences made both of them feel chills all over their bodies!

  Looking at Xu Bin, who was splattered with blood like a mountain demon, both Gouzi and Old Du felt that the young master in front of them had really changed. His bravery, courage, and killing methods could be said to far surpass those of the late Da Dangjia.

  Perhaps under the leadership of this young master, Heifengzhai may indeed undergo some changes. At least for Heifengzhai, which has been established for nearly twenty years, it should not be a problem to continue surviving in the mountains.

  Seeing the two staring at him in a daze, Xu Bin calmly wiped the bloody nose on his face with his hand and said: "Old Du Shu, you go down now and let Li Shu send a few brothers to take over. When they come, be careful not to make too much noise. I'll go up with Dogzi first, there are still two more checkpoints for us to clear. If we don't hurry, it won't be easy to sneak around when the sky gets light."

  Unaware of his own performance just now, Xu Bin, who had already convinced the two bandits with a heart and mouth, pulled out the short knife and wooden thorn stained with blood from the bodies of these bandits, simply wiped them on the corpses and stepped again to sneak up the mountain.

  When Old Du led Li Cheng and the others up, he looked at the six corpses with a hint of death in their eyes and said: "Old Du, did Young Master do all this by himself? Didn't you guys help him?"

  Old Du pointed at the corpse on the ground, with a bitter smile: "Except for this one who was shot dead by Dogzi's arrow, the other five were all killed by Young Master. To be honest, I found that the bandits on Xianglu Peak are quite unlucky to have encountered Young Master, a killing god. Just now you didn't see it, but when Young Master kills people, he has a fierce momentum, and thinking about it now still makes me afraid!"

  Li Chengbing and the leaders inspected the bodies in front of the sentry post, finding that the expressions on their faces were all filled with shock. They must have received a certain amount of fright before they died. Only when they were killed without any preparation would such an expression appear on their faces. Could it be that this young master had really been hiding his true nature in the mountain stronghold?

  After a brief greeting with Li Chengbing, Old Du continued to move forward along the trail left by Xu Bin and his companion. When he arrived at the second watchtower, he unexpectedly found that in such a short period of time, the second pass of Xianglufeng had already been solved by Xu Bin. At this moment, Gouzzi was standing inside the railing waving at him!
