The Xu family members didn't care about the mud and water on the ground and just lay down on the ground.

"Brother, what should we do if those horse bandits see us?" Xu Tian's face turned pale with fright, and he grabbed the clothes of Xu Tianlei next to him tightly.

Before Xu Tianlei could say anything, they heard the neighing of horses and the angry curses of the horse bandits.

They were so frightened that they stopped talking and even dared not breathe fast.

"Damn it, it was that bastard who tied me up with the hemp rope. If I knew, I would kill him!"

"Brother, the horses running in front are all seriously injured. I'm afraid they won't survive. The brothers riding horses also broke their arms and legs. What should we do?"

"Let those brothers be patient here for a while. When we go to the ruined temple and finish this business, we will come back to pick them up. Then they can have a good rest for a while."

The bandit leader said this in a low voice. Because it was still raining heavily, the Xu family members could not hear it clearly and only vaguely heard a few words.

Then came the sound of "clattering clattering" of horse hooves, gradually getting farther and farther away from them.

"Are we okay now?" Xu Tianchu said in surprise.

Xu Tiankuo immediately jumped up from the ground, shaking off the mud and water on his clothes in disgust while muttering.

"Damn those horse bandits! I will kill them all when I get the chance, and vent my anger!"

Suddenly, someone asked, "Who do you want to kill?"

Xu Tiankuo answered subconsciously, "Horse bandits... Horse bandits?!"

Not far from him were the injured horse bandits. They were giving themselves simple bandages when they saw Xu Tiankuo suddenly appear.

"Grandson, you still want to kill your grandfather, so I'll kill you first!"

As the bandit spoke, he drew out the long knife in his hand and rushed towards Xu Tiankuo.

The other members of the Xu family were still lying on the ground, too frightened to even breathe. But Xu Tianlei was now slowly crawling away, trying to sneak away.

Xu Tiankuo was frightened by the horse bandits and retreated repeatedly. He happened to see this scene out of the corner of his eye and roared in anger.

"Xu Tianlei, you are such a coward, you actually want to abandon us and run away secretly!"

His voice actually made the bandit a little excited. "So there are other people here. My knife hasn't tasted blood yet. I'll use your blood to sharpen it."

After saying that, the bandit swung his knife at Xu Tiankuo and cut off his left hand very neatly.

"Father, Mother, save me!" Xu Tiankuo covered his bleeding wound and cried for help loudly.

There was a flash of pain in Mr. Xu's eyes, but he still grabbed Xu Tianchu and Mother Xu and ran quickly towards the forest.

As for Xu Tianlei, he ran even faster. He had already started running while Xu's father was struggling internally.

The bandit stopped his knife when he saw this, and laughed and taunted, "Is this your family? They really scatter like birds and beasts when they are in trouble."

Seeing Xu Tiankuo's bad face, the bandit said with great kindness: "Since you are so pitiful, I will help you kill those cold-blooded relatives first, and then kill you last."

After saying that, the bandit picked up his long knife and rushed towards Xu's father and the others...

There has been bloodshed here, but the fight in the ruined temple has just begun.

The men, holding long knives and swords in their hands, nervously followed the officers. Some of them had trembling legs, as if they could surrender at any time.

Xu Jinhuan came over at this time, holding a giant long knife in her hand. The knife was about one person tall and made of solid materials. It looked very heavy, and everyone was shocked and opened their mouths wide.

"Miss Xu, although you are very strong, this is not a martial arts competition. This is a real fight with bandits. On the battlefield, swords have no mercy. If you are not careful, you can really lose your life.

You should hurry up and go to the cellar with the women; it is safer there."

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties and somewhat frail was persuading Xu Jinhuan.

Xu Jinhuan smiled and shook his head, "Thank you for your concern. I think my martial arts skills are pretty good and I can protect myself."

Seeing that he could not persuade Xu Jinhuan, the middle-aged man stopped trying to persuade him. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is in the hands of God. He didn't even know whether he could live to see tomorrow's sunrise.

I just hope his wife and children can be safe.

"Da Da Da"

The sound of horse hooves came one after another, the bandits were coming.

"Brother, what's going on? Have we been sold out?" A horse bandit asked in surprise after seeing the scene in front of the ruined temple.

The bandit leader squinted his eyes and looked carefully. After confirming the identities of those people, he felt relieved and said.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal. The people standing outside are all weak scholars except for the police. They can kill them all with one knife. It's just to scare people."

The younger brother next to him immediately flattered the leader of the horse bandits, "Boss, you are so powerful. As long as we have our boss here, we don't have to be afraid even if the general comes!"

The bandit leader was very pleased to hear this, and waved the long knife in his hand with a smile, "Brothers, go ahead, after we finish this job, let's go to the brothel in Jiangnan to have some fun!"

"Listen to big brother, charge!"

"You stinky official, take this from me!"

The horse bandits rushed over in an instant, and Xie Datou took a long knife and took the lead to meet the enemy.

For a moment, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard in front of the ruined temple.

Every officer was at the front, fighting with the horse bandits.

They worked in pairs, one responsible for chopping the horse's legs and the other responsible for chopping the horse bandits, and they cooperated very well.

Xu Jinhuan also wielded her long sword with great vigor. She killed one person with one sword, and sometimes she could even take one more at once. The spurting blood dyed her coat red.

Even after being washed by rain, a faint pink tint is still left.

"Brothers, the girls are fighting so hard, what's the difference for us men? Charge for our families!"

The middle-aged man who had tried to persuade Xu Jinhuan at the beginning was also impressed by her heroic demeanor. He took out his weapon and stabbed the bandit next to him, with the white knife going in and the red knife coming out.

The horse bandit had an expression of disbelief before he died. It was obvious that he did not expect that these cowards would dare to resist.

The middle-aged man's victory gave hope to the others. They also swung their weapons vigorously, stabbing or chopping, catching the horse bandits off guard.

It is said that a random punch can kill a master, and there is some truth in this. For a while, their team was evenly matched with the horse bandits and it was difficult to tell who would win.

The bandit leader became more and more angry as the fight went on. Who said this deal was easy? Why were there so many variables?

"Brother, if we keep fighting like this, we might lose!"

The bandit leader wiped the rain off his face and cursed angrily when he heard this.

"Damn it, what on earth is this mole doing? Can he be more reliable? Looks like we have to talk about the secret order."

Then he loudly comforted his brothers, "Don't panic, brothers. Think about the gold and silver we can get. We will have everything after this job! Find the vital points and kill them with one strike."

As if responding to the bandit leader's words, one of the officers who were originally working in pairs suddenly changed direction and raised the knife in his hand towards Big Head Xie...
