The other men were the same; they'd received so much pay and eaten so much good food! And they were fighting to protect their homes and families—what were they afraid of?! Gu Qingshan's bravery just now had them on the edge of their seats! After this was all over, they absolutely had to practice archery properly; it was fucking awesome!
Bandit: What kind of freaks are these! They're all acting like they've been injected with chicken blood? Shouldn't we be trembling in fear when we see them?
The bandit leader snorted coldly; this was a challenge to his authority. With a gesture, more than twenty bandits rushed towards him.
Gu Qingshan shouted and instantly entered the fray with a broadsword. Everyone saw a figure flash by, and then, like a dragon entering the sea, the long sword flew, and the bandits were all repelled. Then, with a spin, he came down from the sky. After the tip of the sword touched the ground, the dragon swam around again, and wherever it passed, the bandits fell to the ground.
Oh my god, it's done already?
"Brother Gu, this is so unfair! You've dealt with them all, what are we supposed to do?! You could have left a few for us to practice on!" someone from the patrol team shouted anxiously.
Yuan Lang watched with great interest. "Wow," he thought, "who would have thought that such a small place like Shiligou, a desolate place, could harbor such a master!" He couldn't help but wonder about Gu Qingshan's identity. Generally, someone like him must have received professional training. He wondered where Gu Qingshan came from. "If he could be recruited by the young master, he could become a formidable general!"
Chen Sheng: Rabbits don't poop? Our Shiligou is a big village outside the county! Haven't you eaten enough rabbit meat here?
Gu Qingshan's expression remained unchanged, but he had clearly taken the villagers' words to heart. He loosened his grip, and the bandits who had stood up again were let in...
The men happily stepped forward, carrying their sticks. This scarred-faced man, though dark-skinned, was kind-hearted!
The bandit leader was instantly enraged and dared not underestimate them anymore. He waved his hand and shouted, "Brothers, let's attack together! Let's show them what we're made of!"
Having said that, he charged forward first! Only then did Qin San Niang realize that this bandit leader was truly deserving of his title. This man possessed immense strength, wielding a long sword, presumably made of fine steel, with an incredibly sharp blade. Their simple swords were no match for it; they were easily cleaved in two.
The men who had come forward with broadswords were stunned. Fortunately, Gu Qingshan reacted quickly, pushing the man to the other side and stepping forward to block the bandit leader's next attack with his broadsword. But the broadsword was no good, and the hilt was even worse. It was instantly cut in two!
"The Great Boss is awesome!" Chen Xiong cheered, and the bandits' morale was instantly boosted!
The people of Shiligou were completely taken aback by the bandits' incredible skill.
Oh dear, the weapon just isn't working properly!
Qin San Niang shouted, "Qingshan, catch the knife!"
Gu Qingshan turned around and caught the knife steadily. He felt a sudden weight in his hand and was shocked. This was a fine knife!
The blade was drawn from its sheath, and a flash of cold light stung, dazzling the eyes!
Yuan Lang was shocked. "Wow, this is a rare treasure!" he exclaimed. "Why have I never seen one before? I wonder which master craftsman made it?" He thought tonight's trip was worthwhile. He had come to help in the bloody battle, but he had come to watch the show and broaden his horizons.
With this knife, Yuan Lang had no doubt about the outcome of the fight. A true expert's skill is immediately apparent; the bandit leader, aside from being stronger and having a better weapon, was no match for Gu Qingshan! Even with inferior weapons, Gu Qingshan might not necessarily lose, let alone now that he had a cheat code!
The bandit leader, seeing that the knife was a rare and valuable item, also became greedy. A knife of this quality would be extremely rare and hard to find on the market! The bandit leader shouted and charged forward, and the two sides began to fight fiercely.
Qin San Niang had absolutely no chance to participate! Cai Hua Niang stubbornly stood in front of her, much to her surprise.
Caihua's mother was an honest woman. "Dawa's mother, you can't go! We women should go last, and leave the rest to the men!"
Qin San Niang had no choice but to watch the battle from the rear. The current situation clearly favored their side; the patrol team's fighting prowess was not to be underestimated. They were all strong, healthy men who had been training daily for the past few days, and their weapons were broadswords! Dealing with one or two bandits was a piece of cake!
The more they fought, the more courageous and excited they became! The other villagers watched nervously from the sidelines. If they saw any survivors trying to attack from the side, two or three men would rush up together, swinging sticks and shovels, and beat them until they howled in pain!
The bandit leader was not agile, but he swung his long knife with great force, and Gu Qingshan could not get close to him for a while.
In the blink of an eye, a chubby figure suddenly flew out like a bomb, hitting the bandit leader's head and leaving him dizzy and disoriented!
Fatty?!
Fatty grinned, snatched the bandit leader's long knife, lifted him up, and slammed him down from the height! With a "crack," everyone felt the pain, and the bandit leader grimaced and howled in agony!
The villagers were dumbfounded. Even Gu Qingshan, who was inside the arena, did not expect that this girl would be so strong and fierce.
Qin San Niang silently gave Fatty a thumbs up! Sure enough, magic has to be used to defeat magic!
Fatty brought this battle to a close in the simplest way!
Seeing the bandit leader fall to the ground, Fatty kicked his limbs again to confirm that it was his legs that had been broken. Then she clapped her hands in satisfaction and walked towards the direction of Qin San Niang and the others.
Everyone gave Fatty a thumbs-up in admiration! Fatty smiled shyly, embarrassed by the praise.
Only her mother, Wu Chunhua, was conflicted. Although it was a good thing that her daughter had received everyone's praise and had done a great deed by subduing the bandit leader, if the title of "strong woman" were to spread, who would dare to marry her?
Normally, she knew her daughter was incredibly strong, especially in the last six months, with all the good food and drink, her strength had increased considerably! She didn't take it too seriously, after all, every family has its troubles, right? And wasn't Da Wa's mother's strength also improving by leaps and bounds?
Wu Chunhua paused, looking at her daughter with a complicated expression. "Well, let's talk about this later. If that doesn't work, we can go to the county town, or see if there are any poor young men in the distant villages willing to become live-in sons-in-law. Anyway, they're not short of money now, and this house will eventually be left to their daughter anyway..."
"Second Master, what do we do now?" Seeing that even the eldest brother had been beaten down, and by a seemingly ordinary chubby girl at that, he was speechless!
