Qin Feng jumped down from the carriage, drew his gleaming Great Longsword, and glared fiercely at the approaching bandits.
Each of them had dark, sunken faces, resembling farmers who worked the fields, but they were no longer that; they had transformed into bandits wielding Broadswords, robbing and killing without hesitation.
They were all grinning menacingly, believing victory was assured as they pushed the Imperial Guards back.
The recent Imperial Guards also held Broadswords, stained with blood, and were shocked to see him come down.
"Qin Sir, why did you come down? You should quickly return to the carriage; we will protect you. These are ruthless bandits!" one of them exclaimed.
Qin Feng chuckled at them; they thought they could protect him while retreating themselves.
They dared not think about what would happen next; it was likely they would abandon him and flee in all directions! A bunch of cowards!
He pointed his gleaming Long Sword at the bandits and said, "Leave a few people to guard this carriage; the rest follow me to fight. We will cut down these heartless scoundrels who dare to rob even the Imperial Guards. They truly seek death."
He had already withstood an attack from the Brute Bull Bandit Leader; how could these bandits be any different? They looked ordinary enough, just relying on brute strength!
With his Great Longsword in hand, he charged forward, knowing that many Imperial Guards were still holding their ground ahead.
He understood one thing deeply: only by fighting desperately could he survive; otherwise, he would perish under the siege of these bandits and fail to protect his woman. It was better to die fighting!
The few Imperial Guards could not hold them back. Those nearby saw that Qin Sir was just a Civil Official yet had such courage; it inspired them to muster their own bravery and charge at the incoming bandits.
Wielding their shining Broadswords, they rushed forward. Qin Feng's Long Sword was faster than theirs, crafted from superior materials with better workmanship.
The two sides clashed violently, hacking at each other's bodies. One by one, bodies fell to the ground amidst cries of pain, some rolling around while others lay still.
Qin Feng pushed forward; his only thought was to kill them. Only by killing them could he leave alive.
His tall stature gave him great strength, allowing him to withstand blows from those as strong as bulls.
His gleaming Great Longsword swung up and severed several bandits' necks. They collapsed grotesquely to the ground, trembling a few times before lying still and dead. It felt exhilarating.
Two others charged at him, and then his blade clashed against theirs, forcing them back a few steps. He aimed for their necks, making sure they understood the consequences.
The nearby Imperial Guards were astonished! They looked at Qin Sir, who was supposed to be from a Civil Official background. How could he possess such brute strength to take down several bandits so quickly? Even the Duties of the Imperial Guard Commander Liu Xian might not be able to accomplish that.
One by one, they gained more confidence and rushed toward the bandits! They fought fiercely, and of course, casualties were inevitable.
The bandits were also taken aback by Qin Feng's power. They initially thought he was just a Bai Lian, but he displayed such divine strength that it truly frightened them, causing their arrogant demeanor to wane.
At that moment, one of the bandits wielding a Broadsword, which was several dozen centimeters wide at its broadest point, with a face covered in numerous black spots and two long scars, was known as Scarface, the Second Uncle of the Young Master.
He raised his sword and pointed it at Qin Feng, who was dressed in a Light Blue Robe, wearing a sinister grin on his face, looking exceptionally fierce.
"Brothers, charge! That cart must be filled with Gold and Silver Treasures and a Stunning Beauty; otherwise, this High Official wouldn't be risking his life like this. Whoever takes down this High Official will get an extra share. Hurry up and kill him! Capture him!"
His heart confirmed that aside from two people, the cart was definitely filled with Gold and Silver Treasures.
He continued, "Take down that cart; you can do whatever you want with the Gorgeous Beauty inside. Enjoy yourselves! What do you think, Brothers?"
Those dressed in coarse clothing, dirty and dark-skinned, had never seen a Great Beauty before, let alone such a noble and beautiful one!
To them, women were worth more than money; having such a beautiful woman would surely bring them greater pleasure.
They shouted, "Listen to Third Leader! We must kill these people; money is secondary. However, we must have our fun with this beauty; it's been so long since we've touched a woman, especially one as beautiful as this lady!"
The bandits' previously diminished morale surged again as they waved their weapons and charged forward—a group driven by lust.
From the Surroundings surged forth, pushing back the Imperial Guards. Those who advanced were met by several times their number of bandits and were soon cut down on the ground.
The mountain path was narrow to begin with, only a few meters wide. Now, with hundreds of people crammed together, the cart could not escape; they were all engaged in mutual slaughter, making it difficult even to flee.
Third Leader Scarface also charged forward with his Broadsword, killing two Imperial Guards in quick succession—one split open at the head and another struck down at the legs.
He headed straight for Qin Feng, knowing he was the High Official here. If he could take him down, chaos would ensue among these people; they might even drop their weapons and surrender.
A strange smile appeared on his face, which was already covered in pockmarks and scars, making him look even more terrifying!
Qin Feng understood that this Scarface seemed to be the one in charge; all the bandits listened to him. As long as he could take him down, the bandits would scatter.
He charged straight at him, determined to prove that with his brute strength, he could kill this ugly monster!
The two Broadswords clashed violently, both revealing angry eyes and killing intent, initially fighting evenly.
However, Qin Feng's strength was clearly greater, causing Scarface to falter.
Scarface began to change his tactics, crouching down as his blade swung toward Qin Feng's legs with great speed. After all, he was an experienced robber!
At first, Qin Feng didn't understand why he crouched down, but seeing the Broadsword coming at him made him realize it. He quickly jumped back twice and barely dodged the attack.
Scarface seized the opportunity and thrust his Broadsword toward Qin Feng's chest, aiming to finish him off with a single blow while still wearing that strange smile.
Qin Feng had no choice but to use his shiny Long Sword to block the tip of Scarface's blade, struggling to hold it back. This old man was incredibly strong; looking at his fierce demeanor, it was clear he had been a Bandit for many years.
Using the back of his sword to resist the tip of Scarface's blade was no easy task; it required immense effort without using all of his strength.
Scarface was putting all his power into the attack. Gripping the handle tightly, he revealed a mouth full of yellowed teeth, some even blackened—truly disgusting; he was just a brute relying on sheer force.
Qin Feng watched anxiously, fearing he might not be able to hold on. His gaze unintentionally drifted to Scarface's belly, which was clad in coarse cloth but appeared swollen; it seemed like he had been living well.
While attacking with all his might, Scarface exposed his weak point. Qin Feng suddenly kicked out with all his strength.
He heard a cracking sound that suggested bones had broken. Then Scarface fell to the ground, howling in agony as blood began to pour from his mouth.
With terrified eyes, Scarface looked at him; he was truly gravely injured and couldn't get up from the ground.
Qin Feng looked down at him with a hint of disdain. The old man was done for! Relying solely on brute strength still couldn't match up to him.
He shouted, "Bandit, give me your life! I will take you down first before dealing with the rest of those bandits!"
Several bandits rushed forward, blocking the path of the Scarred Bandit, trying to resist.
However, they were also afraid, their hands trembling with the knives they held, not daring to move forward.
"Husband, come save me! These bandits are going to take me away! Hurry and save me!"
This was Xiao Xiao's voice. He turned around to look and saw several bandits sneaking in from another side, one of them grabbing her arm with a lewd grin, pulling her outward.
She looked extremely frightened; although she had a slender figure, her arms were delicate, making her just a weak woman, no match for a bandit, and she was being slowly dragged away.
The coachman Guan Ping was wielding a Broadsword! He didn't know where it came from, but he was engaged in a fierce battle with several Bandits, surprisingly holding his own, which puzzled him.
Not having slain the Scarface on the ground, he rushed over determined to protect his woman. She belonged to him; no one could take her away!
Moreover, these Bandits were just rough men who farmed! They occupied several nearby mountains and turned into Bandits, harming others everywhere—truly unforgivable. They would be wiped out sooner or later!
The few bandits dressed in coarse clothing were also smeared with some red blood—both others' and their own—as they helped the Scarface up and retreated backward.
