In a dilapidated temple on the back mountain of Luoxia Mountain, a group of ferocious bandits are hiding.
One of the bearded bandits, enraged, kicked the scarred man beside him in the buttocks, cursing, "You idiot! You actually kidnapped two troublesome girls for me! The entire Luoxia Town is full of guards now. How can we get these women out of Luoxia Town?"
The scarred man who was kicked twitched his lips slightly as he muttered, "Boss, I heard it from that drunkard too. These three girls are as beautiful as flowers and fairies. If we present them to the master, he will definitely reward us handsomely! It's a pity that the most beautiful one couldn't be tied up!"
The bearded man was so angry that he yelled, "You brainless bastard! You didn't even bother to find out if we can afford to offend these people before you rashly kidnapped them!"
Scarface, however, revealed a cunning and treacherous expression as he nonchalantly said, "Brother, what's there to be afraid of? We have someone backing us up! It's just two maids we lost. Once they can't find us, they'll naturally leave!" His tone revealed confidence in his backing and an optimistic attitude towards the situation. It was as if he felt that even if something went wrong, there would be someone who could sort it out for them.
Suddenly, a gust of wind whistled past, bringing a bone-chilling chill. Bearded Man and Scarface felt a chill on their necks, and when they looked down, they saw a bone-chilling sword lying there!
Seeing this, the other robbers raised their weapons, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. However, the bearded man shouted in a trembling voice, "No one is allowed to make a move!"
He slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed on the man holding the soft sword. He was dressed in a black robe, with an upright figure and a silver mask on his face, exuding an unfathomable aura.
The bearded man's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He recognized that the person in front of him was the feared Blood Shadow in the martial arts world.
His body trembled uncontrollably, and he stammered, "Sir... could it be that you are the leader of the Soul-Seizing Sect? We have been wandering the martial arts world, and we have absolutely no connection to your sect!"
Blood Shadow looked around, his eyes landing on the bound girls, and said coldly, "Hand over the two little girls we captured tonight!"
When the bearded man heard this, he quickly shouted to his brothers, "Quickly bring those two maids out!"
A robber came out from behind a tall Bodhisattva statue, dragging Linglong and Liuli, who had their mouths gagged and their hands and feet tied!
Seeing this, Blood Shadow brought the soft sword in his hand closer to the bearded man's neck. The bearded man was so frightened that he trembled all over and begged for mercy in fear, "Lord Blood Shadow! Please forgive me! I won't dare to do it again!"
Blood Shadow asked coldly, "Who is behind you?"
The bearded man was about to answer: "Yes..." Suddenly, a hidden blade pierced into his forehead like lightning.
At the same time, Scarface next to him was hit in the temple by another hidden blade.
When a robber nearby saw that the two men had been killed, he rushed out of the temple without hesitation and fled.
Xueying shouted loudly: "Du Heng! Catch him!"
At this moment, the other robbers were completely stunned by what was happening before their eyes. Why were the boss and Scarface killed by their own brothers? They were panicked and didn't know how to respond.
Du Heng flew out without hesitation, quickly crossed the temple, and followed closely behind the robber who fired the hidden weapon.
After passing through a lush forest that blocked out the sun, Du Heng finally arrived at a steep and precipitous mountain wall that reached the sky. It was here that he successfully stopped the guy who fired the hidden weapon.
Du Heng raised the sword in his hand without hesitation, rushed towards the robber like lightning, and started a thrilling life-and-death fight with him.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had exchanged dozens of blows, but the robber was clearly no match for Du Heng. Du Heng's swordsmanship was sharp and his moves were exquisite. With one swing of his sword, he actually knocked the hidden blade in the robber's hand away.
Du Heng then dodged and pinned the robber to the ground. Seeing his situation hopeless and no chance of escape, the robber, with a determined heart, bit down on the poison hidden in his back teeth. Instantly, a stream of black blood gushed from the robber's mouth, and his body collapsed.
Du Heng was shocked and reached out to feel the robber's breath, but found that he was no longer breathing.
Du Heng couldn't help but feel extremely upset. He originally just wanted to catch the robber and ask him about it, but he didn't expect that he would commit suicide by taking poison.
Things had come to this point, and there was no point in thinking too much. Du Heng could only silently carry the robber's body and run towards the temple not far away.
When Du Heng ran back to the temple breathlessly, he found that the entire temple was surrounded by poisonous snakes and rats, and not even a fly could fly in.
Du Heng's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, "Oh no!" This is... the Dark Moon Enchantress is coming!
He stood outside and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Master of the Dark Moon Pavilion! I'm Du Heng from the Soul-Draining Sect! Can I come in?"
The Dark Moon Fairy in the temple had just killed the last robber. She was holding a red umbrella, and blood was dripping from the tip of the umbrella, staining the ground beneath her feet red.
She pointed the tip of her umbrella at the bloody figure beside her, her eyes as cold as ice: "Why are you here?"
Blood Shadow squinted at Dark Moon Fairy with a mocking smile on his face: "Then why are you here again?"
Dark Moon Fairy frowned slightly, staring at Blood Shadow intently, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes: "You speak first!"
Blood Shadow blinked and said frivolously, "Young Master Luo San of the General's Mansion hired us from the Soul-Seizing Sect to protect Luo Lingyue and her group! What about you? You're not here to steal their business, are you?"
Dark Moon Enchantress cursed in her heart: Luo Lingzhang is such a spendthrift!
She said to Blood Shadow in a bad mood, "We at Dark Moon Pavilion are also employed by Third Young Master Luo!"
Du Heng's voice sounded outside again: "Master of the Dark Moon Pavilion! Can I come in? Sect Leader? Sect Leader, are you still there?" Du Heng stood outside the door, his voice revealing a hint of anxiety and hesitation.
Blood Shadow yelled impatiently in the room, "If you want to come in, just come in! What are you hesitating about, a grown man?"
Du Heng took a deep breath and said with a brave face, "Master, I want to come in too! But there are snakes everywhere outside! They are so densely packed that it makes me feel creepy!"
Dark Moon Fairy chuckled and soothed, "Don't worry, they won't bite you! These snakes are my pets, they're very docile. Even if you get bitten by accident, I can just help you detoxify. There's nothing to worry about."
Du Heng's forehead darkened as he heard this. He secretly groaned, "You mean there's nothing to worry about? Surrounded by so many snakes, who wouldn't be scared? And then there's the risk of getting bitten..."
He couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only sigh helplessly.
