Chapter 39: Ugly Flowers
The grandfather and grandson walked away muttering to each other. Tang Xiaoyun also quickened his pace, pulling Tan Tai Lie along. The grandfather and grandson's voices could still be heard behind them.
"Who are you? You are not welcome in this village, get out!"
"Damn it, you old fool, you're looking for death!"
Then a scream was heard, followed by the young man's exclamation: "Grandpa!!"
Tang Xiaoyun and Tan Tai Lie paused and looked back at the same time, only to see that a group of ferocious-looking men holding long swords and knives suddenly appeared in the place where they had just been talking.
"The Heavenly Demon Cult is here to wipe out the rebels. If you don't want to die, hand over your food and money, or we'll burn this village down!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Tan Tai Lie's eyes instantly turned cold. Are these people from the Demonic Cult?
Tang Xiaoyun was also stunned. He saw that those people were just wearing ordinary bandit clothes, not the clothes of the Demon Sect. It was obvious that these people were doing bad things in the name of the Demon Sect.
These people who claimed to be from the Demonic Cult attacked indiscriminately. After they killed the old man with one knife, the villagers screamed, fell into chaos, and cried out in fear.
The young man threw himself on the old man's gradually cooling body and burst into tears: "Grandpa, you beasts, give me back my life!!"
After saying that, the young man got up and pounced on the leader.
Seeing this, the leader spat and cursed, "Damn it, a little brat dares to yell in front of me! He must be so impatient to live!"
After saying that, the leader raised the long knife in his hand and was about to chop down the young man.
Seeing this scene, a sinister sneer appeared on the corner of Tan Tai Lie's mouth, and he whispered to Tang Xiaoyun, "It seems like you haven't moved for a long time. You need to stretch your muscles."
After saying that, his figure flashed and he rushed towards the group of people like a ghost.
Before Tang Xiaoyun could see clearly, he only heard a gust of wind passing by his ears, and the next second he heard a scream.
He quickly ran over and saw that the long knife in the hand of the bandit leader could not fall down. The blade was held tightly by Tan Tai Lie, while his other hand was holding the bandit's neck.
The sudden change startled the villagers again. Seeing this, Tang Xiaoyun quickly comforted them, saying, "Don't be afraid. Brother Mo will protect us."
The villagers then saw clearly that it was the two strangers. Thinking back to how they had been resisting them as if they were enemies, they suddenly felt ashamed when they didn't expect that it was the two strangers who rescued them.
At this moment, a woman waved anxiously at the frightened young man, "Suisheng, come back quickly!"
The young man finally reacted and crawled back to the villagers.
Tang Xiaoyun protected everyone behind him and looked at Tan Tai Lie and others who were in a stalemate over there.
The bandit leader's neck was tightly gripped by Tan Tai Lie, making him unable to speak. His strength was so strong that it was like a pair of pliers locking him tightly.
Breathing became increasingly difficult, as if the air was blocked by an invisible barrier. My chest heaved violently, but I couldn't take in a single breath of oxygen.
Noticing that the bandit leader's eyes had rolled back, Tang Xiaoyun reminded him in time: "Brother Mo, leave him alive!"
[These people dared to impersonate the Heavenly Demon Sect to kill, injure, and rob. They must be held accountable.]
After hearing this, Tan Tai Lie threw the bandit leader away and threw him heavily to the ground like a dead dog.
Seeing this, Tang Xiaoyun stepped forward and asked, "Tell me, why are you pretending to be the Heavenly Demon Sect?"
The bandit leader suddenly sucked in air, covered his neck and coughed violently. Hearing Tang Xiaoyun's words, his body subconsciously shook, and he said stubbornly: "What do you mean by impersonation? We are disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the younger brothers behind the bandit leader also agreed: "That's right, we are disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, stop talking nonsense."
After hearing this, Tang Xiaoyun sneered inwardly: "Pretending to be a big shot in front of your grandfather is like a toad with chicken feathers stuck in its ass. It's ugly and useless."
Hearing this, Tan Tai Lie on the side chuckled.
I thought to myself, how come he has so many golden sentences to curse people? They are so cute.
Seeing Tang Xiaoyun looking at him in surprise, Tan Tai Lie raised his hand, clenched his fist, placed it on his lips and coughed twice: "Ahem!"
"Just verify whether I'm talking nonsense or not and you'll know."
He paused, a sneer curling up at the corner of his lips. He stood with his arms folded and said leisurely, "Since you keep saying that you are disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, you should know that every disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect knows the Demon Shadow Step. Try to perform it. If you can perform it, I will believe you."
[I remember reading a novel and seeing that every disciple who entered the Heavenly Demon Sect learned the Demon Shadow Step as their introductory technique. These people are clearly trying to discredit the Heavenly Demon Sect.]
Although the Heavenly Demon Sect is a demonic sect that everyone hates and calls for killing, from my recent observations, the great demon leader is not a murderer without blinking an eye. He only goes on a killing spree when someone provokes him.
When Tan Tai Lie heard this, the smile on his lips deepened, and a hint of doting unconsciously appeared in his eyes.
Is that what he thinks of him?
Sure enough, when the horse bandit leader heard this, he avoided the gaze and dared not meet his gaze. He stammered for a long time and could not make any clear words.
Seeing they didn't move, Tang Xiaoyun sneered at the sky, pointed at the bandit leader, and said jokingly, "Why, you can't? Then how dare you call yourselves disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect? Looking at your cowardly appearance, I'm afraid you haven't even stepped foot inside the Heavenly Demon Sect, right?"
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the horse bandits turned their heads away, looking obviously guilty.
Tang Xiaoyun and Tan Tai Lie exchanged glances, and the next second Tan Tai Lie hooked his toes, and the long sword that fell to the ground bounced up. He caught the handle of the sword and pointed the tip of the sword at the bandit leader.
"Tell me, tell the truth, and maybe I can spare your life!"
The bandit leader had already witnessed Tan Tai Lie's cruelty. Now with a knife at his neck, how could he have the nerve to keep silent?
He quickly climbed up and knelt, pressing his forehead to the ground, crying, "Please spare my life, sir. We didn't intend to impersonate the Heavenly Demon Sect. Someone told us to do this, and we had no choice."
"Yes, those people are so cruel. If we don't agree, they will kill us all!"
Hearing this, Tang Xiaoyun and Tan Tai Lie looked at each other and saw conspiracy in each other's eyes.
Tang Xiaoyun stepped forward and asked, "Tell me, who is the other party?"
[It is obvious that someone is deliberately trying to discredit the Tianmo Sect.]
When the bandit leader heard this, he said with embarrassment: "We don't know who they are either. They are all masked and didn't say who they are!"
Now the horse bandit leader is really regretting his decision. He and his brothers were originally horse bandits from several nearby villages. They did all kinds of evil and robbed villagers and passing caravans.
He lived a carefree life, but he never expected that half a month ago, a group of masked men suddenly found him, gave him some money, and asked him to do bad things in the name of the Demonic Cult.
He didn't think much about it at the time. Who would refuse such a good job that fits his personality and pays well?
He never expected to meet these two evil spirits. Now he is regretting it to death.
Tan Tai Lie, the big boss of the Heavenly Demon Cult, frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "Besides the mask, are there any other features?"
