Chapter 360 The handsome Sister Lanyun!
Swords drawn, silver light flashing, collision, sound.
The moment the blade pierced the wind, Lan Yun's figure suddenly moved—not rushing forward, but drifting back half a foot like a willow catkin, his long sword "clanging" as it was drawn from its sheath, a flash of silver light, and he precisely struck the bandit's wrist holding the knife.
"ah!"
Amidst screams, the Black Wind Stronghold chief's steel knife fell to the ground. Lan Yun lightly tapped the hilt of the knife with her toe, and the knife sprang up as if alive, shooting straight at the bandit attacking from the other side, striking him squarely in the calf.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Lan Yun remained composed, even managing to catch a small stone that had leaped into the air and bitten a bandit, placing it steadily on the ground. Her voice was as gentle as a stream: "Good boy, don't bite my butt, it's not fatal."
After saying that, he stepped on the back of the Black Wind Stronghold leader, forcibly pressing him to the ground, and then swung his sword at the three men who rushed up from the other side.
Stone seemed to understand but not quite, and Yan Hu was extremely helpless. He put his right front paw on his head, sighed, and even made a face with a wry smile.
"Stone, don't bite someone's buttocks, bite their neck to kill them instantly." Yan Hu did his best to translate, explaining Lan Yun's concise words to Stone.
"Awooo!"
Stone obediently remembered it, but couldn't stop laughing, going from trying to suppress his laughter to bursting into laughter.
Stone stamped its foot anxiously: "Master, what are you laughing at? Stone understands!"
The Black Wind Stronghold chief gritted his teeth in anger, but since he was being trampled on, he had already lost a lot of momentum. He could only angrily shout at the other retreating bandits, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and kill her!"
But when the other bandits saw that Lan Yun could kill three or four people with a single sword strike, they dared not step forward and retreated repeatedly, hesitating in place.
The Black Wind Stronghold leader's face turned ugly: "Are you all blind? What are you waiting for? Get him!"
The bandits looked at each other, and after a long while, they gritted their teeth and charged forward, shouting a few times to bolster their courage.
"ah---"
But before he could fully muster his courage, he was knocked away by a stone that was eager to prove that it truly understood.
The two bandits who were the first to be hit were knocked to the ground. The stone did not give them a chance to react, and bit their necks one on the left and one on the right.
The two bandits died instantly.
Black Wind Stronghold Chieftain: "...Fool...!"
Lan Yun increased the pressure of her footing and coldly rebuked him, "What's the rush? You won't fall behind!"
Lan Yun struck the Black Wind Stronghold chieftain on the back of the neck with a chop, and the chieftain immediately fainted.
This man cannot die yet; we must keep him alive to pry out the relationship between Magistrate Lin and Black Wind Village from him.
"Chief!"
The Black Wind Stronghold chief had always been the bandits' anchor, but now that he had fainted, the bandits were suddenly leaderless and in complete panic.
After a while, the group of bandits, both shocked and frightened, decided to take a desperate gamble: "Avenge our chief and deputy chief!"
He drew his sword and charged forward.
Stone lunged at a bandit who was trying to get behind him to catch Shengsheng. Although he was still young, his claws were already sharp as hooks. He scratched the bandit's ankle hard, causing the bandit to stagger and fall to the ground in pain.
Yan Hu immediately followed, biting down on the other's wrist with his fangs, refusing to let go no matter how much the other struggled.
Then the stone bit down on its neck again, and after a few struggles, it died.
Lan Yun was already engaged in a fierce battle with several bandits. The longsword in her hand seemed to have a spirit, sometimes spitting out its tongue like a silver snake, sometimes wrapping around her like a white ribbon. Every swing of the sword was precise, either breaking the opponent's weapon or striking a pressure point. No one could get within three feet of her.
He even had the leisure to keep an eye on the movements around him. When he saw a bandit raising his stick to hit a stone, he flicked a stone off the ground with his toe, and the stone flew out like an arrow, hitting the bandit's wrist. The stick fell to the ground with a clatter.
The bandits grew increasingly terrified as the fighting progressed.
This woman appeared delicate, but her skills were ruthless and swift. Every move was precise and vicious, yet she remained calm and composed, as if she were not fighting, but rather dancing with a sword in the courtyard.
This is no ordinary woman; she's clearly a female demon!
The bandits didn't know that it wasn't Lan Yun's intention to do this; it was simply that compared to her opponents in the Dark Guard Camp, these bandits were like pebbles compared to a mountain—utterly pathetic.
Yan Hu and Shi Tou worked together seamlessly, entangled with the stragglers from the left and right. The former was agile, while the latter was fierce, and they actually gave off the feeling of being the best partners.
In less than half an incense stick's time, more than twenty bandits had fallen to the ground, all of them dead.
Lan Yun sheathed her sword with fluid movements, without even getting her clothes dirty. She walked towards Sheng Sheng and said in a reassuring tone, "Miss was frightened, but she's alright now."
Sheng Sheng looked up at her, then at Yan Hu licking his paws and Shi Tou standing tall with his head held high, and smiled broadly, clapping his hands loudly: "Sister Lan Yun is so amazing!"
The stone said aggrievedly, "Master, are stones not powerful enough?"
Singing with amusement, she quickly squatted down and hugged Shi Tou and Yan Hu: "Amazing! Of course they're amazing! Yan Hu and Shi Tou are amazing too!"
Stone then began to whine and rub against him, acting all cute and affectionate.
Smelling the bloody smell wafting around her, perhaps because she had experienced something similar that afternoon, she didn't find the smell so unpleasant anymore.
What goes around comes around; these bandits came looking for us.
Black Wind Stronghold has ravaged countless villages, and the villagers have developed the habit of hiding in cellars at the mere sound of their voices.
Sheng Sheng glanced at the corpses scattered on the ground and muttered to himself, "This can be considered paying for one's life."
Lan Yun found a rope and tied up the Black Wind Stronghold chieftain. Just as he finished tying him up, the sound of horses' hooves approached from afar and finally stopped not far from the two of them.
Sheng Sheng looked up and saw that the person walking over with a dark face was none other than Xie Yunyang.
Sheng Sheng was startled and immediately straightened up.
She hadn't forgotten that she was supposed to be sleeping peacefully in the inn.
Xie Yun's expression wasn't exactly angry, but it was definitely not in a good mood.
He walked up to Sheng Sheng with a sullen face. Sheng Sheng chuckled awkwardly and said guiltily, "Hehehe, brother, what a coincidence, you're out for a walk too?"
Xie Yunyang chuckled slightly, gritting her teeth as she repeated the two words: "A...stroll?"
"Yes, yes!" Sheng Sheng nodded vigorously, pointing to the moon in the sky, "Brother, look, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight, it's perfect for a walk!"
After saying that, Sheng Sheng was amused by her own forceful words. She laughed twice, but when she met Xie Yun Yang's deep and piercing gaze, she swallowed the rest of her laughter back.
His mouth was frozen in mid-air, looking like a squirrel caught stealing food and trying to play innocent.
"Is the bed in the inn so uncomfortable that you can't sleep, or is the moonlight so beautiful that you can climb over the wall to 'take a walk'?"
