"You two have absolutely no respect for me! Today is your death day!"
Li Daqiang's thick eyebrows were raised sharply, and his broadsword slashed through the air, causing a series of booming sounds.
Ji Yong'an immediately raised his spear to parry, his tiger's mouth numb from the internal force. He was shocked, never expecting that there was someone with such profound internal strength in this small mountain village.
Looking at Ji Yong'an's pale face, Li Daqiang laughed loudly, "Kid, you think you can be a hero and save the damsel in distress? You'd better practice in your next life!"
With that, he deflected the red-tasseled spear with a single stroke and aimed his broadsword straight for Ji Yong'an's vital point.
Mingyue pulled Ji Yong'an over with one hand, and the longsword and the broadsword clashed. The blades could not withstand the internal force of the two and shattered on the ground. Li Daqiang was forced to retreat five steps.
"I didn't expect you, you sissy, to have some internal strength. You're even more powerful than that pretty boy next to you."
Ji Yong'an: ...
Li Daqiang steadied himself, his beady eyes gleaming with calculation. "If you come with me, you'll live a life of luxury, like the emperor of this land. Doesn't that sound wonderful?"
Mingyue nodded slightly, channeling her inner energy into the red-tasseled spear on the ground. She held the spear in her hand and weighed it in her hand. "No, you're too ugly."
Li Daqiang spat on the ground with disgust, his face serious, showing no sign of contempt. "Fine, fine, then don't blame me for being impolite!"
The two fought back and forth. Ji Yong'an breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Mingyue's figure. The other party was tall and slow-moving. It was obvious that the master was just playing with him.
The more Li Daqiang couldn't catch the person, the more impatient he became. "What kind of skill is it to hide and dodge?"
Mingyue lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her spear attacked Li Daqiang with unstoppable force.
Li Daqiang's pupils constricted as he raised his knife to parry, but Mingyue's internal strength was profound, and Li Daqiang was forced to be dragged until his back was pressed against a tree.
Click—
The greatsword forged from black iron cracked open, and Li Daqiang's eyes widened in astonishment. His body slid down, and the spear barely grazed his scalp before embedding itself in the tree.
Before he could even catch his breath, Mingyue plucked leaves and used them as throwing knives, plunging them one by one into Li Daqiang's body, leaving another bandit dead with his eyes wide open.
With the king dead, the remaining henchmen looked at each other, holding their knives, unsure of what to do.
Mingyue looked at the group with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I have no interest in killing."
Bandits: Bullshit!!!
What kind of monster is this? He killed so many of their brothers and then smiled and said he didn't like killing people?
How could they possibly survive if they fell into the hands of such ruthless killers?
Ji Yong'an looked at Mingyue speechlessly. The master had no interest in killing people. Could it be that he killed all those people?
"What do you want? We'll let you go, okay?"
If they had known that the disaster relief personnel were so highly skilled, they would never have dared to act recklessly.
Mingyue twirled her prayer beads, her sleeves fluttering in the wind, her hair flying and caressing her smooth skin. She was ethereal and exquisitely beautiful, speaking softly and gently, "Village Chief Li, the bandit suppression is over. Shouldn't we talk about the reward?"
Li Er could barely stand at this moment; his dark, sallow face had turned deathly pale. "How much money does my lord want?"
"How much does Village Chief Li Er think he and the villagers are worth?"
"...One hundred taels?"
The bright moon smiled faintly.
Li Er cried, "Five hundred taels! That's the most I can give you, sir. The whole village needs to eat!"
Mingyue seemed satisfied, then turned her gaze to the bandits beside her. "What about you? Do you want to live or pay up?"
Bandit: These are all our words!
"My lord, we'll live! We'll take you to the former king's treasury right away."
Mingyue was very pleased. "General Ji, could you please go down the mountain and let them pass? Also, could you send a few people over to help carry things?"
