Chu Ming wasn't there yet, but the village chief was stopped by Chu Ming and said, "This is a matter of the village. You and that girl should leave immediately."
Chu Ming shook his head and said, "How can I?"
The bandits dismounted one after another and their leader shouted loudly, "Come out, all of you! If you don't come out, I'll chop you all into pieces!"
Hearing this shout, the doors of the several houses slightly moved, but afterwards, they tightly shut.
When the bandits saw this, they became extremely angry. With a wave of their hands, about a hundred bandits dismounted from their horses and ran towards the houses, kicking on the door one by one.
Chu Ming saw the danger and said anxiously, "Village Head, if this goes on, we'll be in danger."
The village chief remained silent and decided not to let Chu Ming go.
Suddenly, the sound of iron clashing could be heard. All of the strong men and middle-aged men rushed out of the village. Fifty or so men, each with a hoe, wooden stick, and other items that could be used as weapons, beat those bandits out.
The bandit leader did not expect such a powerful resistance and shouted loudly, ordering everyone to charge forward.
The men were fighting against the hundreds of bandits, but they couldn't hold on for much longer. Some of them fell to the ground with blood splattering everywhere. There were even their wives and children crying by the side of the house. They were aware of the disaster that was about to befall them.
Chu Ming was extremely anxious, but the village chief still had an expression on his face. He grabbed Chu Ming's clothes and did not let him move.
After a few screams, another few villagers fell. Chu Ming could see that one of them was the same Ah Dan from last night. As for Ah Li, he was clearly more courageous and had killed at the very front, knocking down many bandits.
Amongst the crowd, Chu Ming saw Ah Shan slowly retreating. It was extremely dangerous, so Chu Ming no longer cared about being stopped by the village head. He took off his clothes, pulled out his four spells and rushed forward to kill him.
The battle situation had also turned for the better with Chu Ming joining. Chu Ming's sword techniques were outstanding, a dozen or so shouldn't be a problem, in a short while he had injured more than twenty bandits. However, Chu Ming showed mercy and was not willing to kill them all, so he did not kill them.
After fighting for a while longer, the bandits had their nerves ripped off by Chu Ming, they were temporarily unable to move and fell to the ground, crying. The bandit leader saw that the situation was bad and ran to the side to save a child. He shouted, "You guys are making a ruckus. I'll kill this child!"
When everyone heard this and saw the child crying, his mother also cried out with tears all over her face and retreated.
The bandit looked at Chu Ming and angrily said, "From your disguise, you don't seem like a villager. Why are you obstructing my livelihood?"
Chu Ming coldly snorted and said, "What is your livelihood? Was the killing stopped? "
"What the fuck does that have to do with you!?" The bandit leader was extremely furious. If it weren't for the fact that Chu Ming was a gold grinder, he would have already killed his way out of the village.
Chu Ming pointed his sword and angrily said, "If you let that child go, I'll let you live!"
The bandit leader fiercely said, "Do you think I'm an idiot? "All of you, back off, or else I will chop off this little brat's head!"
The villagers listened to him, and although everyone hated him, they had no choice but to obey.
At this moment, Dugu Xian`er walked out. She initially wanted to see how this place was so noisy outside, but as she looked around at the scenery, she couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
Chu Ming frowned when he heard this. He was wondering when Dugu Xian`er would not come out at this critical juncture.
The bandit took a glance at Dugu Xian`er. When he saw that the girl was extremely beautiful, he became perverted and laughed, "My wife is so handsome. Come here and accompany me!"
When Dugu Xian`er heard this, she looked at the bandit leader's vulgar face and said angrily, "Evil bandit, what nonsense are you spouting?!"
The bandit leader placed the sabre on the child's neck, causing the child to cry in fear. However, the bandit leader clearly did not care about these things as he said to Dugu Xian`er, "If you don't come, grandpa will chop this child off."
"You!" Dugu Xian`er gritted her teeth as she glared at him.
The bandit leader shouted, "I will count to three. If you don't come, I will kill this baby!"
"Three!"
Chu Ming's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly went to protect Dugu Xian`er. He shook his head at her, and the moment Dugu Xian`er saw Chu Ming, she was once again angered and slapped him.
Chu Ming was slapped, he didn't understand what was going on. Just as he was about to ask, the bandit leader shouted again: "Two!"
When the mother saw this, she abruptly kneeled down in front of Dugu Xian`er and cried out, "Miss, please save my son! Please save my son!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed, causing Dugu Xian`er to bleed on her forehead.
When Dugu Xian`er saw this, she could not bear to do so. She looked at the child's tear-stained face and said through gritted teeth, "Fine, I'll go. But you have to let that child go!"
The bandit leader wanted to count, but when he heard Dugu Xian`er's reply, he laughed and said, "If you get to grandpa's side, grandpa will let you go!"
"Xian'er!" Chu Ming shouted.
When Dugu Xian`er heard this, her heart trembled. She turned her head to look at Chu Ming and said, "You're a big liar."
When Chu Ming heard this, he immediately felt cold from head to toe, thinking how could this woman be so serious, and not make a single joke. Whether it was the words he said or the things he did at that time, although this woman didn't believe it on the surface, she believed it all.
"I hate you!" Dugu Xian`er turned around and took a few steps forward, "Big liar."
"My wife, hurry up!" The bandit leader laughed.
Chu Ming watched as she walked over to the bandit leader's side, feeling a wave of unease in his heart.
The bandit smiled with a ferocious expression. Suddenly, a knife slashed across and blood splattered. The child's eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly. His four limbs naturally drooped down. The bandit threw the child away and grabbed Dugu Xian`er with his backhand, laughing out loud.
Chu Ming saw the fire burning in his eyes. If it weren't for the fact that Dugu Xian`er was still in the hands of the bandits, he would have been decapitated by now.
As for the child's mother, when she saw this scene, she fainted.
The crowd went into an uproar as they started cursing. The bandit did not seem to care as he placed his blade on her neck. Dugu Xian`er was stunned as she stood there, looking at the child's pitiful face. She did not know why, but tears started streaming down her face.
The bandit laughed a few times, stuck out his tongue and licked Dugu Xian`er's snow-white face, causing her to almost scream out in fright. She quickly broke free, broke away from the bandit, and ran towards Chu Ming's direction. When the bandit saw Chu Ming's actions, he was so anxious that he brandished his blade and spit out a mouthful of blood. Dugu Xian`er was on the verge of collapse as she stared blankly at Chu Ming.
With a snort, he could no longer hold it in. With his feet on the seven stars, the four magic regions, he flew up with unstoppable speed, slashing out ten steps at once, and in that split-second, the bandit only felt pain in his right arm. When he saw that his right arm was gone, he yelled out loud, fell on the ground, rolled around, and before he could even scream out a few times, the four magic regions stabbed a hole in his head.
Chu Ming quickly took a step back and pulled Dugu Xian`er into his embrace. Then, he took a step back and sat down cross-legged before he started to embrace her.
When Dugu Xian`er saw the anger on Chu Ming's face, she endured the pain and said slowly, "This is the first time .. See you... "You're so fierce."
"Don't talk, don't talk. Let me look at the wound. Don't talk." Chu Ming suppressed his emotions and held Dugu Xian`er in his arms.
"Pain .." "My back hurts .." Dugu Xian`er's weak voice sounded out.
Chu Ming quickly leaned her against his chest and looked at her back. The green clothes were bleeding profusely and it seemed that the wound was very deep. Chu Ming gently opened the green robe and looked at the wound.
Dugu Xian`er slowly extended her hand towards Chu Ming's face and touched it, saying, "Wh .. What? Actually, I was... "I hate you, but .."
"Alright, stop talking. You'll be fine." Chu Ming held back his tears and said, "Be good."
He didn't know why, but Chu Ming also felt very sad. Originally, this woman had nothing to do with him, she even had some hostile intent, but in these few days, this woman had left him with a lot of impressions, like mischief, love to mess around, be naive, easily deceived, but no matter what, Chu Ming didn't dislike her at all. Although he didn't know if he liked this woman or not, if this woman died here, it would be a huge blow to him.
"I want... "Say something." Dugu Xian`er paused before speaking up, "Because it hurts so much .. Oh, you talk to me... that might not be the case... "It hurts."
Chu Ming was stunned for a moment, then said foolishly, "Alright, say it, say it, I'll listen."
"You are... "Big liar."
Chu Ming shook his head and said hoarsely, "Nonsense."
"Then... I ask you. " Dugu Xian`er took a few deep breaths and said, "There's something in my stomach .." With yours... A child? "
Chu Ming was stunned for a moment, but didn't reply.
Dugu Xian`er coughed a few times and said, "Yes, I do. It must be, right? "
Chu Ming discovered that he really had let down this woman. Just for this sentence, from the beginning to the end, this joke was treated as a fact. He couldn't bear to interrupt her.
