880 Besieged on all sides
The members of the Demon Slayer Division are currently collecting any remaining survivors in the city, but the city gates remain wide open, allowing anyone who wants to leave to escape!
This time, those who escaped from the city will either stay and face certain death or flee. No more trouble can be allowed to remain in the city.
The Tian family, the Yu family, the remnants of the Cheng family, and the vassal families that fled are now basically scattered and fleeing, some with their own ulterior motives.
After traveling about twenty miles, suddenly, a group of bandits rushed out, seemingly having been waiting for them!
"Who are you? I'm from the Tian family. It's a misunderstanding! I know your chief!"
"Halt! I am a member of the Cheng family. I have money. Let's make money peacefully."
The Tian family, Cheng family, and others quickly shouted, their swords gripped tightly in their hands, their eyes fixed on the bandits with growing vigilance. The blades gleamed coldly in the afterglow of the setting sun, reflecting their determination to kill.
"Charge! Kill them! Kill these people and we'll have meat and rice to eat, to please the Supreme God!" The leading cultists, wielding large knives, shouted first, their voices seemingly able to resound through the heavens, inspiring every fanatical gaze.
Eat meat, eat meat, gain power, the Supreme God is pleased and happy, gain even more power.
Bloodshot eyes, containing nothing but these things!
As soon as they clashed, the combined forces of the Tian and Cheng families displayed astonishing teamwork and strength, quickly gaining the upper hand.
After all, they've been trained, with long-term training and excellent teamwork.
The head of the Tian family, filled with rage, was eager to demonstrate his worth and gain more resources. In such chaotic times, if he didn't seize the opportunity, when would he? Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and the Tian family still had many resources they had secretly brought out; they had to fight for them!
He also wanted to intimidate the bandits at once and save his energy, since he had many beautiful concubines and maids from the Tian family behind him, all of whom were usually very attractive.
Tian Jia Da Tou focused his gaze on the blade, a thin layer of blade energy adhering to it. He then slashed horizontally with the force of a gust of wind, accurately striking the bandit leader.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze. With a crisp "snap," like a knife slicing through a winter melon, the bandit leader's head fell to the ground, and blood gushed out instantly, soaking the gold-threaded brocade on the leader's chest.
The leader looked smug and was about to smile, thinking he had intimidated the bandits.
But as soon as they came into view, even more bandits swarmed out, densely packed together, completely unfazed by the threat. They charged forward with wooden spears and thick clubs, and the leaders laughed maniacally.
Having been stained with blood, he was now even more frenzied and bloodthirsty!
Soon, the swarming bandits scattered the Tian and Cheng families' groups.
"Help! Guards! Guards, come and protect us!"
"Help! Come quickly and protect us, or the patriarch will surely have your entire family wiped out! Come quickly and protect us!"
Inside the carriage, a delicate young master with a fat, round head was shouting loudly, trying to turn around and escape while steering the carriage.
The Tian family and other leaders fought and clashed like madmen, the deafening sounds, shouts of battle, and the stench of blood filling the air.
The head of the Tian family, Lei, was anxious, and the cries for help only made him more anxious. He could not disobey his master's orders. The Tian family still had many resources. Only by relying on the Tian family could he have wine to drink and women to serve him every day. He was reluctant to give them up.
Moreover, if the Tian family manages to impress someone during their escape, the head of the household might even bestow upon them a noble adopted daughter. The Tian family's adopted daughters are all beautiful and charming, with superior looks and attire.
Thinking of the beautiful woman he often spied on, now that the opportunity was right in front of him, he couldn't let it slip away!
At that time, with beauties in your arms, beautiful maids by your side, and rewards of cultivation techniques, secret manuals, and elixirs, how could you possibly give it up!
Hearing the cries for help grow more urgent, Chief Lei decided to stop fighting with the bandits and became even more indifferent to the lives of his guards, servants, and maids.
Holding a long knife tightly, he channeled his qi and blood, gathering it here, leaving a force behind. His body moved like lightning, and suddenly he slashed at the chest of a bandit.
The blade was sharp and full of killing intent. With a whistling sound, it instantly cleaved open the bandit's clothes and embedded itself three inches deep into his flesh.
Fresh blood gushed out like a spring, flying three feet high.
Chief Lei immediately prepared to rush out!
But at the critical moment of life and death, an astonishing scene unfolded: the bandit whose chest had been cleaved open by a long knife only paused slightly before letting out a beast-like roar and continuing to charge forward recklessly.
His eyes turned bloodshot, and bloody tears began to flow continuously from the corners of his eyes. His bloodshot eyes flashed with madness and insanity, as if an infinite power was supporting him, making him forget the pain and forget life and death.
Without pausing, he swung his broadsword fiercely at Chief Lei's shoulder. The force was so great that it seemed to be imbued with a strange power. In a moment of surprise, the blade pierced through Chief Lei's shoulder, tearing through his armor and causing blood to flow incessantly.
It seemed that the blood had fueled his madness, causing him to swing his knife even more wildly, slashing vertically towards Lei Da Tou Tou's head. If the blow landed, it would surely split the head in two.
Chief Lei, enduring excruciating pain, channeled his inner strength and slashed horizontally with his broadsword, his life force desperately clinging to it. He aimed for the neck below the head, and with a flash of light, the head snapped off.
His fierce eyes, tinged with surprise, watched as he was suddenly thrown into the air. His hands, which had been gripping the broadsword tightly, slowly lost their strength, and he collapsed, his legs buckling.
Upon seeing this, Chief Lei did not hesitate at all, turned around and ran, his heart filled with inexplicable fear. A voice reminded him, "They are not bandits, they are cultists of evil. Run for your lives!"
Run! There must be even more powerful demons directing the attack from behind!
Lei, the chief, possessed extraordinary escape skills. Having done dirty work for many years, he naturally knew some secrets. At this moment, he felt as if he had encountered a ghost or monster, and he turned around and fled with all his might!
In one swift motion, he turned and leaped into the air, attempting to escape the battlefield quickly. The leap was a full ten feet high, like a dragon emerging from the sea, riding the wind to escape. But in an instant, like an eagle with broken wings, his calves suddenly felt weak!
A small pebble shot out from behind and hit me!
As if struck by an invisible hammer, he was slammed to the ground like a kite with a broken string, dust flying everywhere and his face covered in dirt.
He seemed to have thought of something terrifying, and he seemed to know that he was facing someone he couldn't handle, and that the elders protecting the direct line master would definitely not save him.
His face turned ashen at that moment. He retreated desperately, using both hands and feet to back away, filled with terror and despair. His face was ashen, as if he were scared out of his wits!
