Chapter 220: Suddenly Fell Silent
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Outside the city, the bandits deliberately let out a path and to watch the refugees that came out of the city quickly commence their journey towards the Continent.
“Big Brother, many of these refugees have nice things in their hands, and that woman...”
“What do you know!”
Scar Face turned around and glared at his brother who was speaking.
“Letting them go gives hope to people in the city. After allowing more people to leave the city, when the time comes, we’ll only need simple cultivation achievements, and there’ll be less resistance. These refugees who have survived until now, many of them have unique skills. I don’t want my brothers to suffer here.” After a long while, Scar Face explained.
“Boss, what if all the people in the city have run away? What’s the point of us occupying the city then?”
“Hmph! Even if all the people in the city have run away, they will come back again. Don’t forget that our purpose of going down the mountain this time is to find a place to survive, a base. Other than this city, we have no other choice.” Scar Face said.
In Fenglan, there were only a few places where a city could be built.
Unless there was a change in geography, or a change of course of the rivers, they would not have the opportunity to build a city.
Otherwise, they would have to rob.
Moreover, for a group of bandits with special backgrounds who wanted to clear their names, it would take quite a long time to build a city before they could gain approval from merchants.
“Yes, there are refugees everywhere now. You’re still afraid that no one will enter the city? If they are eaten by beasts outside or suppressed by orcs, they might as well hide in the city.”
Soon, it was noon.
“Boss, if we don’t attack now, the rest of the people in the city will be ready.”
A fierce-looking man behind him licked his saliva.
His eyes were already red as he stared towards the city.
His impatience could be felt from the beads of sweat on his forehead.
“Yes! Indeed, those who want to leave have already left. The rest are all stubborn and foolish people. The more time we leave for them, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. What about the situation of the Zhou and Liu Families?”
“They are still in the city.” A bald man walked forward and said.
“Brothers, once we charge our way into the city, the women of the Liu family will belong to everyone.” Scar Face shouted towards the bandits behind him.
He took the lead and rushed into the city.
Beep Beep~
At the same time, a big shot beside him blew his horn.
“Kill!”
Roars shook the sky.
A huge sound wave smashed towards the city.
Boom! The earth shook and the city walls trembled.
More than 10,000 men dashed towards the city gate.
Countless warriors in the city turned around and stared outside of the city.
“They’re here!”
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
The air became quiet.
The oppressive atmosphere was overwhelming.
“Wahhh~”
Many babies seemed to feel the difference in the air and started to cry.
The already anxious atmosphere became even more tense.
In the inn, Goatee grabbed his long saber and stared into the city.
He waited for the warrior’s figures to appear.
In the Liu family, the eldest sister and Liu Xiu stood on the roof of the Liu family’s house and peered into the distance.
Behind them, Xu Fang and the others held their long swords with confident expressions.
With their husband’s sword qi remaining in their bodies, they would definitely be able to defeat the bandits’ attack this time.
In the Zhou family’s study room, Zhou Kun’s sweat dripped down from his forehead uncontrollably.
“Even if I escape, I’ll have to kill a few scapegoats. The rest will be avenged when I return in the future!”
In half a day’s time, he had made the necessary arrangements.
He couldn’t care about the others anymore.
Once he left, the Zhou family would disperse.
If he remained, the Zhou family would remain.
“Am I finally leaving this small city? I wonder if the world outside is as difficult as the refugees say it is?”
Thinking of this, Zhou Kun closed his eyes in pain.
Among the refugees, there were even experts at the medium level of the Perfect Person, and there were even some at the sixth level.
They were all living in such miserable states. What about me if I leave?
If God gave me two more years, I would definitely become a warrior at the upper level of the Perfected Person. At that time, I would probably have enough abilities to save my own life.
Buzz Buzz~
The Zhou family’s house trembled.
Zhou Kun knew that there were experts entering the city from outside.
The guards on the city wall had already activated the defensive formation.
“These people are quite stupid. Why don’t they send experts to sneak into the city and create chaos, eliminating the unstable factors first?”
Thinking about it, Zhou Kun shook his head.
They had probably done it long ago. It was just that the Zhou and Liu families paid no attention.
Look, until now, there were no hidden Perfected Persons in the city taking action.
Buzz~
Suddenly, the house shook. A few brawny men appeared outside the door and charged towards the Zhou family with weapons in their hands.
“Just now, you said that we were stupid. Why didn’t you make a move? Here we are.”
Jumping out of the study, he stared at the brawny men who had charged into the Zhou family.
“Heh, a few upper level Saint-level cultivators are already looking down on our Zhou clan. This is really...”
Zhou Kun smiled bitterly, then drew his sword and charged forward.
At the same time, refugees appeared at the Liu family for robbery.
But, they couldn’t even last one round with Liu Xiu.
The bandits in the city took the opportunity to wreak havoc.
In an instant, the sounds of shouting and fighting could be heard everywhere.
In the inn, Goatee stared at the Zhou clan.
“Hmm? The Zhou clan actually still has a medium level Perfected Person. Didn’t all their experts die?”
He was bewildered.
They didn’t expect the Zhou family to hide this so deeply.
They didn’t expect it!
No wonder they could maintain their position for so many years after the death of the Zhou family’s elder.
No wonder so many refugees in the city didn’t make a move.
Did they all discover the Zhou family’s secret?
Goatee grabbed his knife and appeared outside the Zhou house.
If this person dared to stop them from entering the city, he could just hold him off for a moment.
At the same time, Zhou Kun also noticed the Goatee’s aura outside the wall.
“Things keep happening one after another. First, the bandits in the city took advantage of the chaos to rob and force people like me out. Then, they sent experts to monitor me. When necessary, they take action to hold me off. What a good method.”
This group of bandits could even planned such small details so well. It seemed that this time, they were really in danger.
They carried their swords home and packed their luggage in a rush.
If they didn’t leave now, the possibility of leaving would be too slim.
In the distance, the sounds of killing had already spread faintly into the city.
Just as Zhou Kun packed up his luggage while Goatee was boasted with pride, a sudden burst of sword will erupted from the sky above the small city.
The sword will flashed past, and then the surroundings of the small city became quiet.
At this moment, many warriors felt their hair stand on end, and their minds lose focus. Their souls seemed to have been bitten by something.
What happened?
Many warriors in the city momentarily stunned, then jumped onto the roofs.
Even the bandits who were looting the city were shocked.
They turned around and stared at the sky, but didn’t find anything.
“What happened?”
“I keep feeling that something is wrong.”
“Why is it suddenly quiet? Did they enter the city?”
The bandits and warriors in the city were all dumbfounded.
Zhou Kun from the Zhou family dropped his luggage and his expression changed.
Who?
So powerful!
After a moment, he came back to his senses and said in shock, “It’s an expert, a Swordsman Cultivator. It’s over, there’s no way out.”
His face was ashen and his body collapsed.
After sensing no movement for a long time, he slowly got up.
“Even if I die, I need know what is going on. Let me see which expert made the move.”
He jumped onto the roof and scanned his surroundings.
He found many warriors standing on the roofs of the houses. Every warrior was staring at the outside of the city in a daze.
Meanwhile, it was quiet outside the city.
“Huh?”
When Zhou Kun saw this, he slowly turned his head around.
Then, he paused in perplexity.
Where were the bandits?
Where were the bandits who were attacking?
Were they resting?
They had just begun their attack. How could they be resting?
“Dong Dong ~ Dang Dang!”
Suddenly, gongs and drums sounded at the same time on the city wall.
Then, countless bailiffs and warriors guarding the city struck gongs as they ran in all directions.
The drums meant attack, and the gongs meant retreat.
They all had their own rhythm, and every sound had a meaning.
When the gongs and drums sounded at the same time...
Zhou Kun’s eyes suddenly widened.
At the same time, the other warriors also reacted and quickly ran out of the city.
