Chapter 759 Such Powerful Battle Tactics
The three bandits grinned and stepped forward, their auras exploding, revealing them to be three Second-Rank Star Luos.
Ye Kang and Yin Xingtang exchanged a glance, both feeling bewildered.
"What kind of outfit is that? Are you robbing the rich to help the poor?"
Ye Kang looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask.
The three bandits froze for a moment.
One of them asked in a low voice, "Brother, are we...?"
"Ridiculous! We're just bandits! We don't care if you're rich or poor, we'll rob you!"
The bandit leader seemed to feel insulted and immediately flew into a rage, grabbing his broadsword and charging directly at Ye Kang.
"You brat! How dare you talk nonsense! I'll teach you a lesson first!"
Boom!
The Three Hundred Layers of the Overlord Whale Divine Fist struck, and the bandit leader was immediately knocked away by the giant whale phantom. His body spun more than a dozen times in the air, smashing tree roots and trees, before he spat out blood and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
"Big brother!"
The two bandit henchmen stared wide-eyed and ran over in a panic. They saw that the bandit leader had a mouthful of grass and a dislocated sternum, clearly indicating that he had suffered a serious injury.
He forced himself to steady his breathing and stretched out his hand, saying, "No need to help! This kid attacked from the side; he has no sportsmanship. It was my carelessness!"
The bandit leader stood up tremblingly, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but he still endured the pain and shakily raised his knife: "You have some skill. I wasn't serious just now. Once I get serious, a junior like you can be wiped out with a flick of my finger!"
Two quick whooshes!
Two sword lights suddenly rushed over, slicing the bandit's knife in half, and at the same time, one sword cleaved into his chest, leaving a deep sword wound from his shoulder to his waist, which was extremely gruesome.
Yin Xingtang sheathed his twin swords and said coldly, "Where did this piece of trash come from, putting on airs? Just kill him."
"and many more!"
The bandit leader lay on the ground, utterly devoid of any strength, his face pale.
He finally realized the situation: he had met his match, and he had gone too far with his bravado!
He quickly said, "Spare me! We meant no harm!"
"Hahaha, I thought they were some capable guys, but they're just paper tigers. Weren't you so smug just now?" Dai Zijun mocked.
The bandits immediately lowered their heads.
"Spare us! Spare us! We just wanted to get rid of you, we meant you no harm!"
Ye Kang smiled slightly; he believed him.
Because they didn't sense any murderous intent, these three guys were just putting on a show, probably only wanting to stop them from moving forward.
That's why he held back just now; otherwise, that punch would have already deflated the bandit leader's chest.
He asked, "Who are you, and why are you stopping us?"
"Sir! We are not bandits, but hunters from Lingyun Mountain. We are here to find a precious plant to save our lives. The plant is in the direction you are going. We were afraid you would get there first, so we resorted to this desperate measure!"
A bandit cried out.
"Lingyun Mountain? Hunters?"
Dai Zijun muttered for a moment, then suddenly realized, "I know, it's Lingyun Town, which is attached to the county seat, but it's quite far from here. Whose life are you trying to save?"
"It was our headhunter! He was injured while investigating the flower-picking fox demon and his life is hanging by a thread!"
Dai Zijun nodded: "I think I've heard that a notorious womanizer appeared in Lingyun Town. The Three Prefectures sent people to investigate and found out it was a fox demon. Wasn't the case closed?"
"Sir! The fox demon who committed the crime has been caught, but Fox Mountain behind him is not giving up. The officials from the Three Prefectures just left, and Fox Mountain's revenge has already begun. There's nothing we can do!"
"Fox Mountain is the settlement of the fox clan, and it is completely autonomous. I'm afraid the Three Prefectures will not be able to eradicate it."
Lu Tianyang offered an explanation, which prompted the three hunters to nod repeatedly.
The Three Prefectures weren't ignoring the situation, but they lacked manpower and couldn't keep guarding Lingyun Town indefinitely. The fox demons took every opportunity to retaliate, leaving the local martial artists with no choice but to exorcise the demons on their own.
Everyone nodded and didn't dwell on the matter any further. Ye Kang said, "We're going to kill the snake demon. Since the precious plant you want is for saving your life, then come with us and we'll help you pick it."
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
The three thanked him repeatedly. Although they had just been beaten up, as long as they could get the treasure, everything would be fine.
Yin Xingtang and the others had no objections and turned to continue walking forward.
On the way, Ye Kang couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is this Fox Mountain? It bullies humans, shouldn't the Three Prefectures eradicate it?"
Lu Tianyang shook his head: "It's not that simple. Fox Mountain has a huge influence. Even the imperial court has to negotiate with them politely. Our county can't withstand Fox Mountain's wrath. The Three Prefectures can only defend against it, but they can't go directly to Fox Mountain."
Dai Zijun nodded and said, "The fact that Fox Mountain was able to summon the fox demon who committed the crime is already a result of pressure from the Three Prefectures. As long as these vengeful guys don't make a big fuss, the General really can't do anything about it."
The group shook their heads. Clearly, while the Wu Dynasty appeared powerful, it wasn't capable of simply killing people.
The fox demon who committed the crime never killed anyone; he only lived a life of dishonor. He'll probably only get a hundred-year sentence, and he won't be killed.
Ye Kang remained silent and did not ask any further questions, since this matter was none of his concern.
Just then, the shadows of the trees ahead rustled, and everyone stopped in their tracks, only to see Gao Fan descend from among them.
"We've scouted it out. There's a snake den ahead, with two snakes in total, both around the Sanyao area."
If it were a snake demon from the First Luminary Realm, Gao Fan would have taken action himself; but the Third Luminary Realm would have to be more cautious.
Ye Kang nodded and said, "That's good. We'll solve the problem by blocking it in the cave."
Everyone was a little nervous and followed along with serious expressions.
Soon, a large snake cave appeared in the mountain ahead, and the panting sounds of venomous snakes sleeping could be heard inside.
Ye Kang said to Yin Xingtang, "Fellow Daoist Yin, please lure them out."
"Alright, let's see just how powerful the five-person battle strategy really is."
She drew her twin swords, and Ye Kang and the other four immediately formed a battle formation, making full preparations.
Then, the sword energy shot out, and two mournful cries were heard. The two brightly colored venomous snakes in the cave were awakened and rushed out in a rage.
As soon as the two heads appeared, Gao Fan shouted, "Smash them!"
Boom!
The five of them simultaneously channeled their inner energy, and the Water Bucket Battle Technique rose high into the air, crashing down like a meteor.
Two loud bangs!
The immense water in the bucket seemed to have been suddenly unleashed, unleashing an unparalleled impact that instantly smashed the two snake heads into dust.
Everyone was stunned.
Instant kill!?
"I'm super!"
The three hunters behind him were completely stunned.
Are you kidding me? Those were two snake demons at the Three Luminaries Realm, and they were gone in an instant without even saying a word!
Looking at the headless snake corpse that had completely lost its breath, and the snake demon's true form that hadn't even risen before being pulverized, it was clear that these two snake demons were thoroughly dead.
These guys are way too strong!
Wang Chi and Zhao Yu'er were also repeatedly amazed.
"What a brilliant five-man battle strategy!"
"The Three Offices' battle tactics are indeed awe-inspiring; their destructive power is probably approaching that of the Five Elements."
