Chapter 9 Commission Completed
Chapter 9 Commission Completed
The remaining two of the Seven Iron Horse Thieves are the leader and the third in command.
The two men managed to escape the disaster. After they were some distance away, they changed horses, each riding one, and galloped all the way.
After running for more than ten miles in one breath, he slowed down.
Going further ahead, they saw a deep pool. The bandit leader dismounted from his horse, walked a few steps to the pool, scooped up water with both hands and swallowed it in big gulps.
The third child also came to him and followed his example.
After drinking it, he washed his head and face. Finally, the bandit leader took the blood-stained axe and washed the blood stains on it with water.
The third brother let out a long sigh, his face full of relief for having escaped death:
"Brother, where did those two women come from?"
"How would I know?"
The thief's mouth twitched:
"I don't know where this crazy woman came from. When she saw us, she asked if someone was chasing us. I wanted to chop her with an axe, but she pulled me off my horse instead.
“I had no choice but to go along with what she said… Then when you came, I winked at you, luckily you understood.
“If we hadn’t used these two idiots to hold Chu Fan back, this day next year would have been our death anniversary.
"It's a pity that we didn't kill that bastard named Chu before his junior sister arrived to avenge our brothers."
Having said this, his expression darkened.
The third brother took a deep breath:
"Brother, we must avenge this!
"However, as the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, so there is no need to rush."
"Ah."
The thief leader nodded, frowning at the same time:
"Who do you think that Ye Di is? Judging from what is written on the cloth, Lao Wu died at his hands.
"Have you ever heard of such a person in the martial arts world?"
The third brother quickly shook his head:
"Unheard of."
"Humph, those who meddle in other people's business will die sooner or later."
Upon hearing this, the bandit leader cursed viciously.
The third brother asked:
"Chu Fan is the second son of the Chu family in Tianwu City, and a disciple of Cui Bunu of Taiyi Sect. Now we have a mortal enemy with him, and our brothers have died, only you and I are left. I'm afraid the days ahead will not be easy. Big brother, what should we do?"
"Um……"
The thief leader hesitated for a moment and said:
"Let's go to the Rainfall Hall."
The third brother pondered for a moment and nodded slightly:
"Liu Shijie has taken advantage of us a lot over the years, and it's time for him to help us.
"Moreover, Luoyu Hall is in Tianwu City. For Chu Fan, it is like being in the dark under the lamp. No matter how hard he tries, he probably won't realize that we are right under his nose.
"Brother, this move is really brilliant!"
"As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place."
The thief leader smiled and gently patted the third brother on the shoulder:
"There is no time to lose. Bring some of your food. After we finish eating, we will set off immediately."
"it is good."
The third brother immediately got up and left, while the bandit leader sat on a rock holding his axe and took a rest.
I was also planning my future plans in my mind. Luoyu Hall is not a long-term solution, but it should be no problem for a temporary shelter.
You need to think carefully about where to go from now on.
I just thought of a few places to go, but rejected them all. As I thought about it, I got even hungrier.
He fought and fled repeatedly. Even a tough guy couldn't stand the whole day's hardship.
"Third brother, I asked you to get some food, why are you taking so long? Are you dead?"
The third brother didn't answer, so the leader of the bandits looked up and saw the third brother's figure standing behind the horse.
He immediately stood up, strode forward, and stretched out his hand to push:
"I have a question for you..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw the third brother fall to the ground with a thud, with a sword mark on his neck.
The wound was only two inches long, and only one drop of blood gathered along it! The thief's pupils shrank immediately.
He kills people without shedding blood, and his swordsmanship is so fast that it is appalling.
Without thinking, he turned back suddenly.
There was a light coming towards me.
There was no sound, no sight of blades, and the figures passed each other. The bandit leader didn't even get a clear look at the person coming before the axe in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
Immediately afterwards, he fell to his knees, his head drooped, and he died on the spot.
Chu Qing slowly put the long sword into the scabbard, turned around, and exhaled:
"You're quite a fast runner... If it weren't for the long-lasting energy of the Ruoxu Sutra, I really wouldn't be able to keep up."
The previous incident was beyond Chu Qing's expectations. He thought that there were two opportunities, but they ended up happening at the same time.
Fortunately, these two people actually ran away... Chu Qing would naturally not let go of such a good opportunity.
After all, it is best not to appear in front of Chu Fan.
This was true even if he was in disguise. Bloodlines were sometimes very strange, and the slightest doubt could be magnified countless times by them.
Now the result couldn't be any better.
He followed the trail all the way and happened to see two people planning their future by the pond... He did not make a move immediately, but took a breath and then saw the third man stand up to get something, so he made his move.
If we can attack them separately, why should we gather them together and kill them?
Nature comes in a way that saves effort.
I was just about to clean up the two bodies, loot what needed to be looted, and deal with what needed to be dealt with.
Suddenly, a prompt appeared in front of me.
【Commission completed! 】
[Successfully kill the Seven Iron Horse Thieves and obtain a 'Random Martial Arts Treasure Box'. ]
Chu Qing curled his lips:
"Kill three and you'll get one reward... at least three, right?"
The system naturally does not respond to this statement.
In fact, at other times, when Chu Qing spoke to the system, the system did not respond.
It's a dumb system.
He was not in a hurry to open the treasure chest immediately, and continued with what he was doing.
We can't stay here for long. If Chu Fan explains everything clearly to those two women, they might catch up with us.
When we meet, and there are no other distractions, it would be strange if this guy doesn't figure out his own identity.
So he quickened his pace and searched the two thieves' bodies.
In the end, they got about twenty taels of silver and two handfuls of gold leaves. The thief leader had the most gold leaves.
With just these gold leaves, if this were a peaceful era, Chu Qing could buy a small yard and live a happy life of eating and waiting for death.
Unfortunately, regardless of the situation in the martial arts world, the evil mirror behind him alone does not allow him to stop.
The other things include some silver bills, pills, and healing medicines.
I roughly distinguished them and put away the elixirs that could promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis and the healing medicines, and did not take anything else that I did not recognize.
After cutting off the heads of the two men, they followed the previous method and hung the name of "Night Emperor" on the horses, then let the horses run on their own to convey the message.
The system reward has been obtained, which shows that there is really no need to see the shopkeeper again.
In the end, they used a tinder to light the silver bills, which in turn set the clothes on fire. In an instant, the two headless bodies were engulfed in flames.
After making sure that the two bodies were burned beyond recognition and that even the most skilled coroner could not tell how they died, Chu Qing turned and left.
