However, the woman was still wary of him. She asked him where he came from.
As for this point, it was understandable. He explained how he heard that the robbers were going to rob the village.
"Did you shoot those arrows just now?" asked the woman.
"Exactly!" Ye Liuyun replied.
"Where's your bow?" The woman clearly did not believe it.
Ye Liuyun had no choice but to take out the Icy Moon Bow from his Interspatial Ring and shoot an arrow. Only then did she believe him.
She glanced at Ye Liuyun's Interspatial Ring and was evidently curious.
At this moment, an old man rushed over and thanked Ye Liuyun. "I'm the chief of theĀ villageĀ here. Thank you, Sir, for saving our village!"
After that, he bowed deeply to Ye Liuyun and expressed his gratitude. Then, he said, "But you'd better leave quickly! Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to resist when the chief of the robbers comes over."
Ye Liuyun did not expect to be chased away after offering a favor.
"At least let me rest for a night before I leave!" Ye Liuyun thought.
"What realm is thatĀ chief of the robbersĀ in?" Ye Liuyun asked.
"The Fourth Level of the Genuine Condensation Phase! You're no match for him!" the woman said indifferently.
"Get someone to bring me to the lair of the robbers. There's no need for your men to follow me inside. I'll take care of it myself. If I can't, it won't be too late for you guys to escape too," Ye Liuyun said to them.
Since he had already taken action, he had to help others to the end. Otherwise, if he helped them halfway, he would make these people homeless instead!
The woman was shocked. She confirmed with him again, "Are you sure you want to help us go against theĀ chief of the robbers?"
Ye Liuyun nodded and said, "Yes! Helping you guys all the way!"
With that, he returned to his horse and waited for someone to lead the way for him. Of course, these villagers did not want to leave their homes, so they were willing to let Ye Liuyun have a try.
Finally, the woman gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! I'll take you there!"
"You can ask someone who knows the way to take me there!"
"Don't worry! Don't you don't need me to fight? I'll take you to the place and then come back," the woman said.
"Fine then!" Ye Liuyun agreed. She was only leading the way anyway.
Ye Liuyun saw her walking and asked, "Is there no horse in the village?"
"This is only a small village, how can it be so extravagant!" Zhu Wushuang smiled awkwardly and continued to move forward.
Ye Liuyun immediately jumped off his horse.
"Let me give you this horse! I'm pretty fast in my pace. I can catch up with you if you're not riding too fast."
Then he threw the rein to the woman.
The woman immediately mounted the horse and carried on.
After walking far away, she stopped and handed the reins to Ye Liuyun.
"My name is Zhu Wushuang. Thank you for your kindness! Please forgive me for my offence just now.
The villagers do not know the difference in the Genuine Condensation Phase. That's why they let you take the risk. But I can't harm my benefactor! So, you'd better leave directly! When I go back, I'll ask the Chief of the village to take everyone away immediately."
Ye Qingyu was also stunned. He had thought highly of Zhu Wushuang.
This woman looked cold to others, but she was very kind.
Then he smiled and said, "Thanks for Miss Wushuang's kindness. It seems that I didn't save the wrong person."
But I won't joke around with my own life. Don't worry, I'm confident I can fight the Fourth Level of the Genuine Condensation Phase."
"This..." Zhu Wushuang obviously did not believe Ye Liuyun's words.
"Looks like you want me to prove it to you again?" Ye Liuyun smiled and released the black python from the ring.
Zhu Wushuang was delighted to see the black python's aura.
Then, she said awkwardly, "I hope you don't mind me just now! I was really worried that something would happen to you!"
"Let's go!" Ye Liuyun said as he handed the reins back to Zhu Wushuang.
On the way, they also chatted with each other.
"I don't think there are any experts in your village. How did you provoke these robbers?" Ye Liuyun asked.
Zhu Wushuang sighed and said, "How dare we provoke them? We have to pay them protection fees every month. But their Third Head came to our village making mischief and was killed by me in a fit of anger, so they came for revenge."
"They're relying on robbing you guys for a living?" Ye Liuyun was a little curious. It seemed that such a small village could not afford to feed so many robbers!
Zhu Wushuang explained, "Of course not! They mainly rely on capturing feral beasts and then sell them to the Beast Controlling Hall in town to make money. The nearby villages can't offer much protection fees."
Not long after, the two arrived at the lair of the robbers. Ye Liuyun instructed Zhu Wushuang to hide while he dealt with the robbers himself.
Zhu Wushuang wanted to fight with him. She claimed that she could help him deal with some small minions.
Ye Liuyun thought about it for a moment and agreed as he felt that there was no big problem.
Ye Liuyun released his Divine Sense and searched the entire lair of the bandits. It was like a house, which could accommodate nearly a hundred people.
But at this moment, there were only more than 30 robbers in there.
He killed all the four sentries with his bow and then headed for the bandits' lair.
Most of the robbers inside were not sleeping. They were waiting for the group of robbers to return.
"Boss, why hasn't the Second Head come back yet?" one of the minions asked.
"They should be back soon! There are still women to be brought back. They may be slower!" a one-eyed middle-aged man said.
The man had a fierce look. One could tell that he had killed many with a single glance!
"He will not come back!" A cold voice suddenly sounded, which scared the robbers.
The one-eyed leader was also shocked, and he picked up the blade next to him.
The other robbers also picked up their weapons and waited grimly.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun and Zhu Wushuang appeared in front of the robbers.
"Who are you? How dare you break into our Black Cloud Cottage with only the Eighth Level of the physical refining phase?" The one-eyed man was very nervousĀ originally, but when he saw Ye Liuyun's realm, he felt relieved.
Two martial artists of theĀ Eighth Level of the physical refining phaseĀ were not enough for him to kill.
When other robbers saw only the two of them, they also shouted unscrupulously.
"Leave the woman behind, kill the man!"
"I am the one who will kill you! Go down and reunite with your accomplice!" Ye Liuyun could not be bothered to listen to the dirty words of these robbers. He directly released the black python and asked him to entangle the one-eyed man.
He took out his blade and began to kill the robbers.
The robbers did not even have one of the Third Level of the Genuine Condensation Phase. Naturally, they were no match for him. He would kill as many as they charged forward.
His current blade intent was not the same as before. When the domineering blade intent was released, even their consciousness of resistance would disappear.
There was basically no need for Zhu Wushuang to do anything. It was not her turn at all.
After dealing with these minions, Ye Liuyun asked the black python to help him. He wanted to experience the battle strength of the Fourth Level of the Genuine Condensation Phase.
Ye Liuyun released all of his energy. Even the power of his blood meridian burst forth and fought alongside the one-eyed man.
Both of them were using blades, but their blade techniques were vastly different. The one-eyed man's saber technique was completely restrained by Ye Liuyun's blade intent and was not able to exert its full power.
Even Ye Liuyun himself did not expect that he could tie with the one-eyed man.
However, it was extremely difficult for Ye Liuyun to kill him. After all, the difference in realms was huge.
In the end, he used the Soul Sword to launch a sneak attack to get rid of the one-eyed man.
After getting rid of the one-eyed man, Ye Liuyun heaved a sigh of relief. "Looks like there are benefits to having more skills. There's always one thing that can catch them off guard."
Ye Liuyun decided that he would no longer use the Soul Sword in the future unless it was a life-or-death moment. He wanted to use it as his trump card and give the enemy a fatal blow at a critical moment.
