Chapter 320 Death Soldier

Chapter 320 Death Soldier

After walking for a while, everyone soon arrived at the top of the mountain of Qingfeng Village.

Qingfeng Village is located on the top of a mountain surrounded by cliffs on three sides.

There is a large flat open space on the top of the mountain.

At this time, hundreds of men and women were sitting neatly on the open space, and almost all of them were looking at a man who was controlling a flying sword on a stage in front of them with admiration.

The man looked to be in his early thirties. He sat cross-legged in the center of the ring, holding two sword fingers in his hands and waving them up and down continuously. Above his head, more than thirty flying swords were flying in the air.

These flying swords sometimes form groups of three, sometimes of five; sometimes they fly together to the east, sometimes together to the west; sometimes they are divided into two groups, one group flies south and one group flies north; sometimes they can even be divided into four groups, flying to the east, south, west and north respectively.

Worse still, sometimes she would use a trick called "Fairy Scattering Flowers", with more than 30 swords flying in all directions at the same time...

Faced with such a scene, even Ye Fei couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Well, it's pretty entertaining.

I don't know in actual combat...

Ye Fei and his companions were led behind the people sitting on the ground. The old man who led them pointed to the empty space at the end of the team and said, "Go sit over there and watch the show first!"

After saying this, Lao Qi turned around and left, without mentioning a word about going up the mountain to collect the reward money.

Ding Dashan was not happy about this: "Haha, Brother Qi, we are here to be bandits, not to watch a show. Also, Brother Qi, didn't you say that we can get the reward money as soon as we go up the mountain?"

Lao Qi looked back at Ding Dashan with a look of disdain: "I see that you guys seem to be quite rich. You gave each of us twenty yuan before. Do you still care about the ten or eight yuan reward? Stay still and don't talk nonsense. If you talk nonsense again, I will punish you!"

Hearing what Lao Qi said, Ye Fei and Feng Qingyao hurried forward together, one on each side grabbing Ding Dashan's arm.

Ding Dashan couldn't stand hearing this kind of words. If someone said that to him, he would usually start by scolding them.

Ye Fei and Feng Qingyao were afraid that he would delay things, so they quickly grabbed him and sat him at the back of the team.

Zhao Yunlong also sat down.

Just as Zhao Yunlong sat down, Feng Qingyao immediately sent a voice message to him: "Fifteen, take a closer look to see if there are any of your old brothers here!"

“Yes!” Zhao Yunlong nodded immediately and said through voice transmission: “There are many of my old brothers sitting in front. However, they all look excited, and it doesn’t look like they have been kidnapped.”

"This is a bit strange!" Feng Qingyao frowned: "Let's wait and see what these people are up to."

shhhhhh...

At this moment, the man who was performing flying sword performance on the stage in front retracted his sword.

He stood up, clasped his fists and bowed in the direction of the crowd, and then suddenly looked at a masked woman sitting under a tree not far behind him. The woman was wearing a black dress, a bamboo hat, and a black veil on her face.

He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply: "Second Miss!"

Swish!

The woman in black suddenly leaped up and landed lightly on the stage.

She held a long sword in her left hand and the hilt in her right hand. She drew out the sword and pointed it at the hundreds of people sitting under the ring: "Are there any new heroes who want to challenge me today?"

"Challenge?" Ye Fei, Feng Qingyao, Ding Dashan, Zhao Yunlong and others were all confused.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yunlong gently tugged at the corner of the clothes of a middle-aged man in front of him.

"What?" The big man turned around and glared at Zhao Yunlong.

Zhao Yunlong smiled awkwardly and clasped his fists, saying, "Hey, big brother, please tell me, what do you mean by challenging her? Isn't Qingfeng Village a den of bandits? Shouldn't bandits go down the mountain to rob people? Why are they setting up a ring on the mountain?"

"New here?" The big man curled his lips.

"Yes!" Zhao Yunlong nodded.

"Hehe..." The big man suddenly became interested: "Haven't you heard yet? The former bandits of Qingfeng Village were all recruited by these ladies who came from nowhere last month. Now it is no longer called Qingfeng Village, but Baxian Village."

"Eight Immortals Village?" Zhao Yunlong, Ye Fei, Feng Qingyao, and Ding Dashan were stunned again.

"The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea?" Ye Fei added casually.

The big man glanced at him and said, "The Eight Fairies. After they took over Qingfeng Village, they spread the word that a big arena would be set up in Qingfeng Village every day. Whoever can last three moves against them will get a reward of 500 spirit stones. If he can last ten moves, he will get a reward of 10,000. If he can last a hundred moves, hehe..." The big man pinched his chin and smiled lewdly.

"What's wrong with hundreds of moves?" Ding Dashan asked.

"Choose one of the Eight Immortals!" The big man with a lewd smile on his face pinched his chin, his saliva almost flowing out.

"The Eight Immortals are eight fairies?" Ding Dashan's eyes widened.

"Of course!" the big man said excitedly, "Each one of them is a fairy descending to earth."

"Really?" Ding Dashan looked at the woman in black on the stage who was called the Second Miss. "But they have their faces covered, so we can't tell if they are pretty or not!"

"You're talking about this?" The big man looked at Ding Dashan with disdain. "You look so ignorant. This second young lady is just a maidservant beside the second fairy. It's her turn to be on duty today. Therefore, she is on the stage to accept everyone's challenge. Are we qualified to fight with the real Eight Fairies?"

"I think this maid has a great figure!" Ding Dashan looked at the black-clad woman on the ring: "She has a big butt and big breasts. If I want to fight for a hundred moves, I'll have to choose her, okay?"

"You?" The big man looked Ding Dashan up and down with disdain. "You'd better save your energy. With your character, I don't think you can survive even three moves. It would be good if you can earn 500 spirit stones."

"Haha, what if I can earn 500 spirit stones?" Ding Dashan curled his lips.

"I'll lose a hundred to you!" the big man said contemptuously.

"One hundred is too little, let's bet bigger!" Ding Dashan patted his chest: "If I win, you lose five hundred to me, and if I lose, I lose two hundred to you!"

The big man curled his lips in disdain: "You are really good at calculating. Why do you lose 200 to me?"

"Hehe..." Ding Dashan laughed awkwardly, "After all, the probability of winning is small!"

"That won't work!" The big man said, "If you want to bet, be fair. I'll bet five hundred whether I win or lose. I'll bet with you!"

"Well... okay then!" Ding Dashan looked aggrieved.

After saying that, he immediately stood up and raised his right hand: "Let me try!"

Ding Dashan ran towards the ring happily.

"Humph..." The big man in front snorted coldly: "Idiot, there are actually people who like to give money to others so much."

Ye Fei and Feng Qingyao looked at each other, and they smiled at each other tacitly.

Suddenly, Ye Fei whispered, "Hey, Senior Sister, let's go and earn some extra money later! As long as you can last ten moves, you can get 10,000. This money is so easy to earn, how can you justify yourself if you don't earn it."

"Me? If I go up, I can easily beat her for hundreds of moves. She might not even be able to last a hundred moves." Feng Qingyao curled her lips and said, "What if I win and the eight fairies force me to marry them?"

Ye Fei: "I can do it for you. I'll help you marry her!"

"Get lost!" Feng Qingyao glared at Ye Fei with disdain: "If you have the ability, marry all these eight fairies home. I will consider it as your ability. I will also do it for you. You wish!"

"That's right!" Ye Fei suddenly pretended to be excited and counted on his fingers: "One washes clothes, one cooks, one warms the bed, one warms the feet, one gives birth, one feeds the baby, and one expresses milk..."

Snapped!

Feng Qingyao slapped Ye Fei hard on the forehead. She couldn't bear it anymore.

Ye Fei rubbed his head and finally kept silent.

Feng Qingyao no longer paid attention to him, but looked at Zhao Yunlong with a serious face, and said to him through voice transmission: "Fifteen, do you feel something is wrong?"

Zhao Yunlong nodded: "Something is wrong. It's very wrong."

Feng Qingyao nodded: "Yes, I was wondering, who would go to a bandit den like Qingfeng Village to recruit experts?"

Zhao Yunlong was stunned, and looked at Feng Qingyao in surprise: "Senior Sister also noticed it?"

Feng Qingyao: "Of course! Such a high price, with money and beautiful women, this is not a huge reward to recruit a master!"

Zhao Yunlong shook his head: "Senior sister, what you said is not specific enough. Strictly speaking, this is to recruit death warriors! With a huge reward, there will definitely be death warriors!"

Feng Qingyao was stunned: "Death warrior?"

Zhao Yunlong nodded: "Yes! Ten years ago, a family in the Five Saints City needed a group of brave warriors who would rather die than live than spend money to accompany them into an ancient ruin to search for their missing young master, so they sent people to Qingfeng Village.

At that time, they made an agreement with our leader, set up a big fight in Qingfeng Village, and picked dozens of our brothers away. In the end, those dozens of our brothers never came back, and none of them have come back to this day. Some of them were very close to me, and we had been friends for many years, ah..."

"You mean, these people are probably also selecting their assassins here?" Feng Qingyao was stunned.

"Not possible, but definitely!" Zhao Yunlong said with certainty.

"Why do you come here to select assassins?" Zhao Yunlong asked, "There are more experts outside!"

"Hehe..." Zhao Yunlong smiled and said, "Those who can come here to select assassins are probably masters with a good conscience. If I'm not mistaken, the current master of Qingfeng Village is definitely going to some extremely dangerous place and needs some assassins to protect them.

The people in bandit dens like Qingfengzhai are either extremely vicious or have no relatives or connections. It is ironic that most of them become bandits out of desperation, and many of them even have parents and children at home.

In short, no matter what kind of people they are, they all value money over their lives. Taking them on adventures with them might make them feel more at ease!"

Feng Qingyao frowned: "There are actually such things in this world. This is the first time I've heard you say this! However, I'm a little curious, don't these people know what they will face if they are picked? Aren't they afraid of death?"

“Haha…” Zhao Yunlong smiled bitterly and said, “Senior sister, you were born in one of the top ten families in the Wuyuan Star Region. You have been living a life of luxury since childhood. How can you know how painful and difficult life is for people like us who work at the bottom of society?

You may not know that the reason why I still have some feelings for Qingfeng Village is that I know that many people are desperate and are targeted by some families or forces in their local area. They cannot defeat them and have no choice but to be forced to go to Qingfeng Village to become bandits. If they have any other choice, who would become a bandit?

Bandit, haha, with this kind of identity, not to mention that if it gets out, relatives and friends in my hometown will look down on me, my own relatives will not be able to hold their heads up, and even I will look down on myself sometimes.

Such people have long regarded themselves as the walking dead. They are just struggling to survive, eating and waiting for death. If an opportunity to make a lot of money suddenly comes, the first thing they think of is not that they are afraid of not being able to return alive, but that it would be great if they can be selected. At least, they can leave some money for their families before leaving. It is much better than being a bandit all your life and being stabbed in the back until death.

In fact, many people think that it is better to die early and reincarnate early. Maybe if they are lucky in the next life, they will be reincarnated into a big family and become their descendants!

Haha, to be honest with you, if I hadn’t taken revenge, I would have thought the same way. I might have gone to that ancient ruins ten years ago..."

Feng Qingyao suddenly patted Zhao Yunlong on the shoulder: "Fifteen, let's not talk about this anymore!"

At this moment, Feng Qingyao finally understood why their master had helped Zhao Yunlong in the first place, and even risked the reputation of the Thousand Immortals Sect to take a bandit under his wing.

That’s right, as the eldest daughter of the Feng family, she really knows too little about these people at the bottom of society.

If she hadn't heard what Zhao Yunlong said just now, she would have never known that there was such a thing as going to the bandit's stronghold to select assassins.

Originally, when she first heard Zhao Yunlong talk about this, she felt that this matter itself was a bit discriminatory against these bandits.

It was not until Zhao Yunlong said his last words that she truly realized that for a man with a conscience who was forced to go to the mountains to become a bandit, since life was so difficult and painful, having such a chance to leave some money for his family might be the best way for them to say goodbye in this life.

"Ah..." At this moment, Ding Dashan, who had already exchanged several moves with the woman in black on the stage, suddenly let out a scream and was kicked off the stage by the woman in black.

"Hmph..." The black-clothed woman looked at Ding Dashan with disdain, took out a small bag of spirit stones from her storage ring and threw it on the ground in front of Ding Dashan: "I thought you, a big bull, could last ten moves of mine, but I didn't expect you to be defeated after only four moves. You disappoint me so much!"

"Haha..." Ding Dashan sat on the ground and smiled without saying anything. He picked up the bag of spirit stones and began to count them happily.

The black-clad woman on the stage once again coldly scanned the hundreds of people in the audience: "Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?"

Below the stage, Feng Qingyao and Ye Fei were stunned.

Ye Fei: "Sister, what's going on with Dashan today? Is he in a bad shape? With his strength, he shouldn't be defeated in just four moves."

Feng Qingyao: "Yes, he should be able to easily survive ten moves!"

"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?" At this moment, the woman in black on the stage asked again loudly: "If not, today's challenge ends here!"

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Ding Dashan, who had already counted the five hundred spirit stones, suddenly stood up under the ring and said, "I'll try to challenge the ten-move challenge again!"

The woman in black looked disgusted: "Big stupid bull, you were defeated in just four moves, and you still want to challenge ten moves? Humph..."

Ding Dashan curled his lips and said, "If I can hold out for ten moves in one breath, then I will earn five hundred less spirit stones!"

Woman in black: “…”

Ye Fei: “…”

Feng Qingyao: "..."

Hundreds of people at the scene: "..."
