Chapter 12

"Let go of my daughter!"

Seeing her daughter about to be persecuted, the woman's expression turned fierce. Ignoring her fear, she picked up a stone from the ground and prepared to fight to the death.

The man raised the knife in his hand and slashed, "Stupid woman! Go to hell!"

"Pu~"

Blood splattered.

The man's heart was pierced by a knife, and the knife in his hand froze in the air.

The woman who was about to fight to the death was stunned.

The man mechanically turned his head, and a young man appeared in his line of sight.

He had seen this young man before.

On the wanted poster.

He was the young man who killed the company commander Cui Xiao.

"Damn! Who are you! How dare you attack the bandits of our Great King Mountain!"

A bandit with a black band on his head, seeing his brother killed, was extremely angry and roared loudly.

"Pu~"

Jiang Ping'an pulled out the black knife and coldly stared at the bandit who was cursing him.

The bandit with the black band on his head felt inexplicably afraid when he saw Jiang Ping'an's cold eyes.

But he couldn't lose his momentum now, and the other party was just a child, so there was nothing to fear.

"Look at your father! Damn, you dare to kill our people, brothers, let's kill him..."

He was about to call his brothers to act together, but he noticed that many of his brothers suddenly shivered and fled for their lives.

"What are you doing! Why are you running, he's just a child, let's all attack and kill him!"

The bandit with the black band on his head couldn't understand why his brothers, who had previously boasted of their strength, were now acting like scared dogs.

They were truly trash.

"He's the young man who killed the cavalry company commander Cui Xiao!"

A bandit who was running away kindly reminded him, his voice trembling.

Upon hearing this, the bandit with the black band on his head was stunned.

Now, in the entire Ping Shui County, there were few people who didn't know this young man.

The fact that he had killed the cavalry company commander made both the common people and the bandits very happy. They often discussed why the young man was so powerful.

Recently, it was heard that the young man had entered the Eagle Sigh Mountain Range.

He never expected to encounter him!

The bandit with the black band on his head's face turned pale. He swallowed hard, and the arrogance on his face disappeared.

"Bro... Brother, I'll give you money..."

"Pu!"

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Is this what it feels like to have your heart pierced?

Jiang Ping'an ignored him, pulled out the knife, and quickly killed several bandits.

These were just ordinary bandits, and they had no ability to resist. They were killed like cucumbers being chopped.

Seeing Jiang Ping'an approaching, the remaining dozen or so women stood dumbfounded, not daring to move.

Jiang Ping'an cut the ropes on their bodies and gave them the money he had taken from the bandits.

"Go."

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

The women knelt on the ground, tears streaming down their faces, expressing their gratitude.

If Jiang Ping'an hadn't saved them, they would have been taken to the bandits' den and suffered inhuman torture until they died.

Jiang Ping'an was about to help them up when he suddenly sensed something and his face changed.

"I found him! That kid is over there! Quickly launch the signal flare!"

Not far away, a voice shouted excitedly, and a group of soldiers appeared in sight.

Someone lit something, and it flew into the sky, exploding in a very bright and conspicuous display.

Jiang Ping'an quickly ran away.

He was discovered!

"Chase him! Don't let him escape! This is worth a thousand taels of silver!"

The soldiers' eyes turned red, and they pursued him at high speed.

After the soldiers passed, the rescued girl suddenly looked up, puzzled, at her mother.

"Mom, that big brother is a good person, he saved us. Why are the soldiers not chasing the bandits but chasing the big brother?"

The woman opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to explain.

The soldiers searching for Jiang Ping'an in the Eagle Sigh Mountain Range saw the signal in the sky and gathered here as if they were mad.

At the same time, a giant eagle with a four-meter wingspan appeared in the sky, and on the eagle stood a man.

"The cultivation method is mine, Xu Hao's! With this opportunity, I will definitely become a company commander!"

Xu Hao, one of the company commanders in Ping Shui County.

He was different from other soldiers; he rode an eagle, not a horse.

This eagle was a demon beast, caught by his father and tamed with great effort.

The name "Eagle Sigh Mountain Range" means that even eagles sigh when they see it, but this is just a metaphor.

With this eagle, there was no need to worry about the complex terrain on the ground, and he could reach the target location at high speed.

Not long after the signal was sent, Xu Hao arrived at the signal location. Standing on the eagle, he looked down to search for the target.

"I found you!"

Xu Hao saw the figure speeding away.

"Charge down!"

Xu Hao controlled the giant eagle to dive down.

While fleeing, Jiang Ping'an suddenly saw a shadow on the ground, and an instinctive reaction made him quickly roll to the side.

At that moment, two sharp eagle claws fell.

The nearby trees were instantly pierced by the eagle claws.

A man with flowing long hair, about twenty years old, jumped down from the giant eagle.

The man raised the knife in his hand and slashed at Jiang Ping'an.

Jiang Ping'an was shocked; this person could control such a large eagle!

This eagle must be a demon beast!

Jiang Ping'an's worldview was once again enriched with a new piece of knowledge: demon beasts could be tamed.

But there was no time to think about it now; the attack was already in front of him.

Jiang Ping'an raised his knife to attack.

"Clang~ Clang~"

Two clear collision sounds rang out.

Xu Hao's eyes widened as he saw his illusory knife blocked.

"You can use the illusory knife too!"

Just now, both of them used the illusory knife, and the two knives collided in the air, sparks flying.

Xu Hao knew very well how difficult it was to master the illusory knife. In Ping Shui County, only company commanders or battalion commanders could master it.

The other party must have obtained the sword technique after killing Cui Xiao, but how many days had passed since then? He had already learned it!

Others spent years learning the sword technique, but the other party had only had it for less than a month?

Xu Hao was shocked, and jealousy appeared in his eyes.

Under his father's guidance, he spent six months mastering the first level, and his father said he was a genius.

But the other party learned it in less than a month.

Moreover, the other party had no guidance, was alone, and much younger than him.

Ping Shui County only needed one genius, Xu Hao, and there was no need for a second!

With jealousy, Xu Hao swung his knife again, slashing at Jiang Ping'an.

Jiang Ping'an swung his knife to block, attacking the real knife hidden in the illusion.

At that moment, the amulet around his waist quickly lit up, turning into a green light to block the attack.

It didn't stop the attack!

Jiang Ping'an's face changed.

He clearly blocked the illusory knife, so why...

It's the second level of the illusory knife! Two illusions!

"Ha ha! Surprised? Unexpected?"

Seeing the shock and fear on Jiang Ping'an's face, Xu Hao was extremely happy and launched another attack.

As before, the other party's knife hit the protective shield.

The other party's attack was extremely strong. With just two strikes, the energy on the protective shield decreased by one-fifth.

Eight more strikes, and the protective shield would definitely break!
