Chapter 382 Encounter
Chapter 382 Encounter
Could it be that after death, these people truly returned to the embrace of the so-called gods, completely ignoring the natural cycle of heaven and earth? Yun Yue felt that this country was becoming increasingly mysterious. What kind of existence could have established such a country?
In addition to feeling mysterious, Yun Yue also felt a little curious, as these were things he had never experienced before.
However, the old man's information was very limited. After all, Gaogou County was on the edge of the country. It was not wealthy, nor was it a large county. It was not even self-sufficient and had to rely on caravans from outside. It was a very ordinary and poor county.
Yun Yue didn't want to know the news thoroughly from the beginning. The world outside was really different.
The more he looked, the more curious he became. How on earth had that god managed to spread his faith so far, to have such fanatical followers in such a remote place? But as far as he knew, this world should belong to the heavenly court. Why didn't they bring this place under their control? Was it because they were unaware of it, or were they just condoning it? He didn't know.
The deeper the night gets, the stronger the wind gets. The howling wind rings in the ears like the howling of ghosts and wolves, making people feel a little uneasy.
Yun Yue frowned while dozing off, and slowly opened his eyes in the dark, feeling the vibration of the ground and the subtle sound of horse hooves trampling the ground.
Someone is coming.
There were a lot of people, perhaps fifteen or sixteen. From Yun Yue's perspective, a flickering flame appeared on the wasteland, flickering in and out. Perhaps the wind was too strong, and the flames extinguished and reignited over and over again.
It can be seen that the target is not them, but everyone on this road.
The old man beside him was also awakened, and he drew a broken sword from his waist. How could anyone who dared to walk in the wilderness be a good person?
He was surprised that the rich young man in front of him also noticed something strange.
"It's a roadblock. It seems the rumors are true. It's really strange. If they want to rob, they should go to the wealthy counties. Why come to Gaogou County, which is so poor?"
Yun Yue wasn't surprised. "The richer the city, the more guards it has. And as you said before, the richer the city, the more fanatics it has. If this group of people fight, they really... don't care about their lives!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out.
The speed was so fast that the old man only felt a flash before his eyes, and Yun Yue had disappeared from the spot, with the echo of his words still lingering in the air.
Because the group of fanatics who were praying devoutly took action the moment they heard the sound of horse hooves and the leader wielding a knife to kill people and plunder food and property. They grabbed everything they could get their hands on, such as sticks, stones, shoulder poles, etc., and rushed towards the group of bandits fearlessly.
The ordinary people had different ideas from this group of fanatics and ran back one after another.
"No one can escape!!" A loud voice resounded in the air. The burly man on horseback, with a face full of flesh, raised his sword and roared loudly, slashing at the people rushing towards him with the long sword in his hand.
With a "crack," the wooden stick snapped, leaving a huge gash on the chest, and blood flowed out. However, the fanatics were not afraid, but instead rushed forward again. A stone hit the horse, frightening it.
The strong man pulled the horse back and spat, "You bunch of living dead are really haunting me. Get out of here!!!"
“Kill them all!!”
Dozens of bandits rode on horseback, trampling people into a pulp and leaving bloody footprints all over the ground as they passed over their bodies.
These men were clearly vicious, especially the burly man with a face full of flesh. He sat on horseback like a raging lion, his long sword capable of cleaving a man in two with a single blow. Blood dripped from his stained blade as he silently watched the slaughter unfold, his eyes devoid of ruthlessness, pleasure, or even the slightest hint of emotion.
He just watched quietly.
At that moment, Yun Yue had covered several kilometers in just a few steps. A sword appeared in his hand. The blade was green, and a tassel dangled from the hilt. This was the magic weapon Su Mu had given to the fourteen of them, and now he was holding it in his hand.
With a swipe of his Qingfeng sword, Yun Yue arrived in front of the bandit's horse. The cries and shouts around him seemed to be fading away, and the environment was completely silent.
The man sitting on the tall horse looked at Yun Yue.
The next moment, the dozens of bandits were torn apart, their heads and bodies torn apart. Figures fell from their horses one after another, and heads rolled everywhere. Yun Yue was no good man, nor was he an ordinary person. He didn't need to use a second move against a group of less powerful bandits.
The burly man with a face full of flesh finally reacted at this moment. He frowned, not expecting that someone like Cheng Yaojin would appear in the middle of the road.
"You... are meddling in other people's business." The burly man said as he raised his long sword and chopped it down heavily from above.
With a "ping" sound, the long sword in his hand not only failed to hit Yun Yue, but was bounced away. The blade flew in the air and then embedded in the soil.
The burly man stared blankly at the knife in his hand, and when he looked at Yun Yue again, he was curious. He didn't even see clearly when the other party drew his knife.
"Who are you?" the strong man asked.
"You are not from Chengguo, are you? You are just like the person I met before, really lively. Are you also here to look for the legacy left by that person?" The strong man's head moved unnaturally. It didn't seem to be a normal movement, but instead gave people the illusion that he was not a human.
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't? It's still better than a rat like you who dares not show his true face. Forget it, you don't even dare to show your true self, there's nothing more to talk about." Yun Yue swung the Qingfeng sword in his hand, cleanly and neatly chopping the man into a cloud of blood foam. Amidst the blood foam, he spotted a few bloodworms. These bloodworms actually tried to escape under the sword's envelopment, but were dismembered in an instant.
It seems that this so-called Cheng Kingdom is really not simple, and it also involves the so-called heritage. Could it be the heritage of that god?... Thinking about it this way, it is really possible.
The blood that flowed all over the ground gradually soaked into his feet, and then strangely circled around him without a trace of blood.
Yun Yue didn't put away his sword, but looked in one direction and said, "You've been watching the show for so long, why don't you come out and see me? Isn't that too rude?"
"What a strong perception!" Yun Yue looked in the direction where the environment was like melting paint, and a figure slowly emerged from it. This figure looked very young, between the age of a teenager and a young adult.
The ink on his body that he used to suppress his breath gathered into a dot of ink in this man's hand, and he pinched his hand to collect it.
"It seems that Master needs to improve his method of concealing his breath. It's too easy to see through."
