Chapter 52 Coward Han Xin

As I said, those who hold swords and those who hold bare hands are completely different concepts, even if they have now cultivated internal strength, it is still the same.

Unless they have trained themselves to be invulnerable to swords and spears, they may fall if they are not careful. It is better for them to focus on improving their swordsmanship.

Therefore, Ye Yu had not thought about teaching them the simplified Snake-Crane Fighting Method for the time being.

But this Golden Light Spell is different. It really makes up for their lack of defense when they take action.

Ye Yu stayed on the top of the mountain until evening, then went down the mountain. In the surprised eyes of Gai Nie, Han Xin and others, Ye Yu taught them the ordinary Golden Light Mantra.

A few days later, news from Huaiyin County reached Han Xin, and he immediately asked Ye Yu for leave to return home.

"In the past, I was poor and destitute, and the headman of Nanchang Pavilion supported me for several months. Although he was later despised by his wife, I still felt grateful to him.

Now he has been killed by bandits. I have learned a lot from you, so I should repay you for your kindness!"

Han Xin explained the reason to Ye Yu.

Ye Yu agreed, and Han Xin temporarily borrowed the fine horses that his fellow brothers had purchased earlier, and they hurried away that same day.

From Pei County in Sishui County to Huaiyin County in Donghai County, the distance is more than 500 miles. If you travel by horse carriage, it will take at least five or six days at the fastest, and more than ten days at the slowest.

Han Xin traveled much faster on horseback, and in just two or three days, he had reached Huaiyin County.

After a simple half-day rest, he carefully inquired about the murder of the Nanchang Pavilion Chief by bandits, and then rode straight to Yandang Mountain.

It turned out that the village had organized an anti-bandit campaign some time ago, and the Nanchang Pavilion Chief had made great contributions. However, when he went out, he was retaliated by the remaining bandits and died on the spot.

The terrain of Yandang Mountain is complex and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Bandits often occupy the area and cause chaos, but they always revive after several encirclement and suppression operations.

As a native of Huaiyin, Han Xin had naturally heard of this. Han Xin was riding alone on horseback through Yandang Mountain. Soon, bandits pulled up ropes in front of him to block the road. Then, a dozen people holding swords jumped out of the jungle.

"Hahaha, here comes a fat sheep!"

"Get off the horse quickly, kid, or don't blame me for being rude."

"This is a good horse. We will definitely be rewarded with the head."

Dozens of bandits immediately surrounded him, laughing loudly with joy on their faces.

I haven't encountered such a fat sheep recently. Anyone who can ride on a horse must be wealthy. Even if he has no cash on him, we can even send people to his house to blackmail him.

"You are the ones who killed the head of Nanchang Pavilion?"

Han Xin tightened the reins, stopped the horse, and asked calmly.

After hearing Han Xin's question, the bandits who had surrounded them were all stunned.

"Why? Are you related to Liang Dan from Nanchang Pavilion?"

"Hahaha, that Nanchang Pavilion Chief Liang Shan deserves to die. Are you going to avenge him?"

"Want to cause trouble for us?"

Soon, the dozen or so thieves reacted and felt that the young man in front of them should be related to the Nanchang Pavilion Chief, and seemed to be looking for trouble, but seeing that he was alone, it seemed a bit unreasonable.

Immediately, they all spoke up, some provocative, some disdainful, and some mocking.

"The Nanchang Pavilion Chief helped me for several months in the past. I am grateful to him. I have come here to take your leader's head and bring it back to offer sacrifice to him."

Han Xin grasped the scabbard of his sword, dismounted, and spoke to the bandits.

"Are you alone?"

"Who has the courage to tell me your name?"

The dozen or so thieves who were surrounding him burst into laughter upon hearing what was said. After they stopped laughing, they started shouting angrily and fiercely.

"Han Xin, a disciple of Hidden Immortal Peak!" Han Xin heard their chaotic shouts without any ripples. He slowly introduced his name and slowly drew out the cold sword in his hand.

"Hidden Immortal Peak? I seem to have heard of it somewhere."

"Han Xin, eh, could it be that coward Han Xin from Huaiyin?"

"Never mind, just kill him."

Seeing that Han Xin ignored everyone and dared to say that he would chop off their leader's head, dozens of bandits were already filled with anger and began to move closer to Han Xin step by step.

More than a month ago, when the spiritual mist appeared on Hidden Immortal Peak, Han Xin and his fellow brothers had already achieved a small level of success in their internal cultivation techniques.

Now after practicing in the spiritual mist for more than a month, Han Xin's internal training skills have already reached a high level of perfection. Naturally, he has no pressure in dealing with these bandits.

"Qiang~"

The sound of rapid collision of swords continued to ring out, the sword light was fierce, and the chill was overwhelming, accompanied by the sound of metal colliding, and the muffled sound of metal piercing into the human body.

In just a few dozen breaths, almost all of the dozen or so thieves present had fallen down, their bodies lying on the ground with blood spurting out.

At this time, there was still a thief covering his hands, looking at the scene in front of him in horror.

"Lead the way and I'll spare your life!"

Han Xin's voice reached the bandit's ears.

The bandit had already lost all his courage due to the scene before him. He quickly agreed to Han Xin's request and staggered towards the stronghold with Han Xin.

In less than half an hour, after arriving at the bandits' stronghold, Han Xin crippled his hands with his sword to fulfill his promise not to kill him. Then he circulated his internal energy, and his body suddenly floated and rushed into the mountain stronghold.

In less than an incense stick of time, the bandit stronghold of hundreds of people was engulfed in flames. By this time, Han Xin had already come down from the stronghold with several packages.

We rode fast all the way to a courtyard in Nanchang Pavilion.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, people from all around came over to check.

Han Xin had been here for several months to eat, so the people around him recognized him. When they were suspicious, Han Xin came forward and knocked on the door.

Soon, the courtyard door opened and a woman came out.

"Sister-in-law Liang, when I heard that Brother Liang was killed, I rode back as fast as I could and personally brought the head of the bandit leader from Yandang Mountain to offer sacrifice to Brother Liang. This is also a fulfillment of our friendship."

In the past, the head of Nanchang Pavilion had a great admiration for Han Xin and thought that Han Xin was a capable man.

But after several months of support, the woman in front of him thought that Han Xin only ate plain rice and the most simple food, so she deliberately ate early and did not prepare any food for Han Xin when he came.

If she really didn't want to help, she could have just said it clearly. Why did she have to do such tricks in secret to exclude him? Han Xin thought that this woman was insulting him and left in anger.

Now, Han Xin didn't want to care about it anymore. After he finished speaking, he immediately took out a package.

The bottom of the package was soaked in blood. Han Xin opened it and found the head of Wang Ba, a notorious bandit leader from the Yandang Mountains.

"Hiss, it's really Wang Ba. Look at the mark on his face. I remember it very clearly."

"How could Han Xin have the ability to enter the bandit den in Yandang Mountain and take the head of the bandit leader?"

"Oh my god, it's actually true."

Because of the unique and hideous scar on his cheek, many people present knew him. After confirming his identity, there was an uproar.

The woman was also shocked. How could Han Xin have such ability?
You know, Han Xin was a coward and a weakling, and everyone in Huaiyin County knew about his experience of crawling under people's crotches. But now he actually went deep into the den of bandits, killed people, and was able to escape unscathed?
"This is the gold and silver we found among the bandits. It can be regarded as a repayment for the help we received over the past few months."

Han Xin stuffed another small package into her hand, then immediately mounted his horse and rode away.

Han Xin came and left quickly, and the people were talking about it.
