I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 637: Even Mountain Bandits Have Backers Now

"Hey, scholar, do you want to live or die?"

"Leave some money for your life, otherwise this time next year will be your death anniversary!"

"Leave the two horses too, or don't blame us for being ruthless!"

Lu Zheng and Shen Ying were speechless. Five bandits, without even Blood Qi, dare to rob openly?

How long had it been since they last encountered villains of ordinary human level? The last time seemed to be those thugs who laid traps for Hu Zhou, right?

"Hey? This woman is so pretty!"

"Grab her! Snatch her for the Village Chief! He will surely reward us!"

"Take the woman! Kill the man!"

"Really kill them?"

"Of course kill them, we're bandits, not monks!"

"We're bandits! We kill with big knives, eat big chunks of meat, drink big bowls of wine!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Without giving Lu Zheng and Shen Ying a chance to plead or surrender, the five bandits charged at them, led by the old guiding the young.

In their view, Lu Zheng and Shen Ying's horses were slow, so there was no need for horse-tripping ropes. They believed they could rush forward, kill Lu Zheng and abduct Shen Ying.

"The Red Maple Forest is stained with blood, these red leaves originated from such."

Lu Zheng sighed lightly and didn't use any other means, instead pulling out his long sword with a backhand, lightly stepping off his horse.

His figure swayed back and forth, performing a sword flower, causing five knives to clang down onto the ground, while the five bandits clutched their wrists, their faces filled with terror, staring in disbelief.

"Martial Artist!"

"Sword Hero!"

With a sword roaming the Jianghu and a wuxia dream, Lu Zheng expressed feeling cool, noticing Shen Ying's eyes shining brightly looking at him.

Lu Zheng stood before the leading bandit, his long sword lightly resting on the bandit's shoulder.

"Hey, bandit, do you want to live or die?"

"To live! To live, to live!" The bandit nodded repeatedly.

The other bandits also seemed to know their place, not even trying to flee, simply standing there pitifully looking at Lu Zheng, waiting for destiny to unfold.

Lu Zheng glanced at them, laughing, "Since you want to live, then lead the way ahead."

"Lead, lead the way? Go, go where?"

"What do you think?"

"Mountain fortress?" The bandit's eyes lit up, "I'll lead you, I'll lead you, I'll take you up the mountain right now!"

Joking, a bandit's biggest fear is being killed while robbing on the way down the mountain. Once up the mountain into the fortress, all the bandits will swarm, and the Great Village Chief will make a move. Since the fortress was established, it has never been defeated!

This process, the bandits had experienced three times, so upon hearing Lu Zheng wanted to head up the mountain, all five bandits looked elated.

Lu Zheng and Shen Ying exchanged glances.

Shen Ying communicated, "Lu Lang, why are these bandits so happy, is there a conspiracy?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Lu Zheng communicated, "I don't know, but there shouldn't be a Thousand-Year-old Great Demon or Thousand-Year Fierce Ghost hiding in a bandit nest, right?"

Shen Ying communicated, "If there were so many Thousand-Year Fierce Ghosts, Great Jing would be doomed by now."

Lu Zheng communicated, "Then it's probably that the Village Chief is also a Martial Artist, not weak in Martial Arts."

Shen Ying communicated, "That's unlikely. Their behavior is too obvious; it's too stupid, right?"

Lu Zheng communicated, "Do you think intelligent people would become bandits?"

Shen Ying, "..."

Lu Zheng and Shen Ying, bold due to their skills, naturally were not afraid of a group of bandits. Just by hearing these bandits talk, they knew they were evil people.

Regardless of their schemes, they couldn't hurt them. It was perfect timing to capture them, head up the mountain, apprehend them all, and rescue those ordinary folks kidnapped into the bandit lair.

"I didn't expect Great Jing still had organized bandits internally?" Lu Zheng teased.

"As long as they're far from the State Capital, and don't cause much disturbance, the bandits within Great Jing never cease." Shen Ying replied solemnly, recalling she died at the hands of a lone robber years ago.

...

Mountains, mountain fortress.

Bandits eradicated, fires burning.

The bandit Great Village Chief was indeed a Martial Dao expert, standing two meters tall, with bulging muscles, a face full of flesh, thick Blood Qi, his prowess comparable to a century-old oddity, no wonder these bandits held hopes.

From Lu Zheng's perspective, he could make a living doing anything, but somehow became a king among bandits, wanting to abduct Shen Ying as a wife to suppress the fortress, and to chop him to feed the dogs.

Lu Zheng didn't personally act, it was Shen Ying who was infuriated and covered him with Peach Blossoms, directly sucking him dry into a mummy without even leaving him a chance to utter final words.

Then...

Kill bandits! Rescue people! Plunder! Set fire!

In the fortress, there were over ten commoners forcibly abducted, all received some gold and silver from Lu Zheng and Shen Ying, turning calamity into blessing, and were sent downhill.

As for the gains of Lu Zheng and Shen Ying, they were even greater.

"The funding for this trip, the Village Chief has prepared it for us!"

Shen Ying couldn't help but giggle, "Lu Lang, you're so wealthy, why bother with this little amount of money?"

"It's not the same!" Lu Zheng argued. "Your own money is your own money. Going on trips without spending your own money, that's tradition!"

Shen Ying blinked, "What tradition?"

Lu Zheng paused, "Uh... the tradition of the Lu Family!"

Shen Ying nodded speechlessly, "Alright, alright, a few hundred coins, this trip won't even take a year to spend it all."

"Not necessarily, on the way I want to buy you lots of good stuff." Lu Zheng smiled.

Shen Ying was touched, pulling Lu Zheng down the mountain and coming into the Red Maple Forest again, striking a beautiful pose, and having Lu Zheng sketch a pencil drawing for her.

After finishing the drawing, they admired it for a while and stayed in the forest until nightfall.

...

Moon rising in the sky, starlight bright.

"Neigh——"

A horse whinnied, echoing through the woods. Huang Feng and Ta Xue tied to the nearby tree suddenly became restless, snorting, shaking their manes, stomping their hooves randomly, as if wanting to leave.

"Hmm?"

Shen Ying's eyes flashed, she turned her head toward the northern forest, dressing her clothes.

Lu Zheng also squinted, but not rushing, slowly putting on his shoes, then picking up the Cloud Pattern Sword, standing tall.

"Hehe..."

"Haha..."

Two laughs came from afar, then echoed around them, unable to determine their origin.

"What a pair of wild lovers, beneath the sky, so envious!"

"Too bad they're so dumb, killing people and burning the mountain, yet daring to stay here."

Lu Zheng's eyes sharpened, "Are you related to that Village Chief?"

"Killed the master's Blood Slave Furnace, then contribute your own blood, after all, you're both Martial Artists, your Qi and Blood are quite ample."

"And this woman, tsk tsk, so pretty, the master also has Yin Yang Technique, don't worry, will take good care of your woman."

"Evildoers live long and die old!"

"Chivalrous and righteous, die with the Dao!"

"Hehe..."

"Haha..."

Laughter fluctuated in volume, proximity, left and right, clarity and vagueness, echoing around them, reaching their ears, directly penetrating the True Spirit.

If Lu Zheng and Shen Ying were truly Martial Artists with ordinary cultivation, they would have already started feeling dizzy, unbearably uncomfortable.
