Chapter 023 Perfect Rescue
At this moment, the bandit in the front was only ten feet away from Yang Ming, and it was able to reach it in a blink of an eye. The next moment, the bandits would leap forward and cut down with a knife. Whether it was the bandits or the three city guards on the big tree, they all thought that Yang Ming would definitely die, and would die miserably.
At this critical moment, Yang Ming's third long arrow finally shot out.
It seems that in order to make up for the shortcomings of too close distance and insufficient arrow speed, Yang Ming poured his true energy into the arrow without hesitation.
In addition, since Yang Ming had shot twice, the third arrow became more proficient. Moreover, because the distance was very close, the third arrow finally did not miss the attack, and the arrowhead only pointed to the key points of the leading bandit.
However, the leader of the bandit sneered and did not take the arrow to heart at all. In his opinion, the arrow was obviously not fast enough. In addition, he was wearing fine iron armor, and Yang Ming was not a master, so he could not hurt him even if he hit him.
Besides, with a long sword in his hand, he naturally would not let Yang Ming shoot.
Bang!
The bandit had a quick eye and a quick hand, and smiled disdainfully. The long sword was extremely accurate and blocked the arrow without any suspense.
"You shot this time, but so what if you shot? You can't hurt me at all? Are you going to be killed by me? Ha...ah..."
The bandit laughed proudly, thinking that the arrow was blocked, but the next moment, his face changed drastically, his eyes were full of disbelief, and his words turned into screams.
It turned out that although the arrow shot by Yang Ming encountered a long sword, it was not blocked. Instead, it instantly penetrated the long sword's body, and then it continued to cast its momentum. With a slight slap, it shot into the vital points of the bandit's heart. The fine steel armor on the bandit's body did not play any blocking role under the arrow!
"how so……"
The first bandit fell off the horse immediately and died in a moment, but the long arrow was still unsatisfied. In an instant, through the body of the first bandit, as if wearing a candy ball, it continued to break through the two layers of armor and shot into the chest of the second bandit who followed closely.
The second bandit was full of horror and quickly stopped breathing. He followed the first bandit to report to the underworld. He didn't even have time to react from beginning to end. Like the first bandit, he didn't understand why Yang Ming's arrow was so sharp.
Rumble!
The two bandits' horses lost their master's control, and the latter immediately hit the former, both of which fell to the ground, rolling and screaming, stirring up a large area of dust.
The third bandit was shocked. Seeing that the mount was about to trip over the people in front of him, he quickly abandoned the war horse and soared into the sky, and at the same time swung his sword and slashed at Yang Ming.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ming was prepared for it. After shooting the long arrow, he immediately threw away his powerful bow, took out a dozen flying knives, and threw them out with his hand.
Yang Ming had never practiced flying swords, but he had the eyes and strength of a master, and he used the trick of covering the strike again. The third bandit was in the air and could not avoid it. He quickly swung his sword to block it. However, the long sword, together with the armor and body, had several holes in an instant.
So the bandit died on the spot without even having time to scream. With a bang, it fell to Yang Ming's feet.
The fourth bandit had also jumped off the horse, but witnessed the tragic death of the previous three people. He was instantly scared away and did not dare to go forward to fight. He turned around and ran away without saying a word.
"Stay here!"
Yang Ming sneered, pulled out the long sword from his waist, used his true energy to pour it into it, and shot out with a shaking flashlight. It directly penetrated the bandit's armor and the vital points in the back of his heart, and nailed it to a tree ten feet away.
Without any surprise in this result, Yang Ming immediately strided heavily, pulled out his long steel sword, jumped onto a yellow-maned horse, and ran towards the remaining four bandits under the big tree like lightning.
The four bandits planned to watch a good show of Yang Ming being besieged and tortured, but they did not expect that in the blink of an eye, the situation took a sharp turn. Yang Ming defeated the victory by fighting four, like cutting melons and vegetables.
Such an ending shocked them too much, as if an ant devoured a tiger and leopard, which made people jaw-dropped.
Yang Ming's calmness and ruthlessness made them even more chill. At this moment, watching Yang Ming come, they all pissed off and ran away like birds and beasts without hesitation.
Unfortunately, the enemy would not let them go, and they did not miss this excellent opportunity. The strong survival instinct made the three city guards wake up from shock and joy first, jumped down the big tree and participated in the battle, attacked Yang Ming on both sides, and with the help of the terrain at the end of the valley, the terrain that had nowhere to escape, in just over ten breaths, all the four bandits who only knew how to escape and even half of their strength were caught up and beheaded.
At this point, all eight bandits were killed, from the beginning to the end, only a short time. Yang Ming killed the enemy with few enemies but was still unharmed. The rescue was extremely successful, and it could even be said that he created a great miracle. This miracle was particularly huge for the three city guards, because this miracle saved their lives.
"Brother Yang, I am a rough man. I don't know how to say thank you. I only know that if you saved my life, my life will be yours in the future. You are my leader. There is something useful to me. Even if I go through fire and water, I will not frown half a brow!" The three city guards survived the disaster, and were excited and even filled their eyes with tears. Among them, the man named Wang shouted.
"Yes, we have the same idea as Lao Wang. Brother Yang, if you save us, you will be our reborn parents."
"We had no idea about the master before, but we actually suspected Brother Yang's strength and courage. Brother Yang, you are magnanimous and came to save us. It was so righteous that we were even more ashamed." Ma San and Zhang Bao nodded without hesitation, and he felt even more ashamed when he thought of all the previous things.
Yang Ming smiled indifferently and said, "What was past is over. You haven't forgotten me at the critical moment, so I will naturally not leave you."
Yang Ming's words made the three city guards even more moved and ashamed. Yang Ming was unwilling to bother with him on this matter, and he had no intention of accepting him because he didn't need him or wanted to be dragged down. It was also obvious that although these three city guards were more loyal, most of them were because of his strong strength, so he chose to follow him.
So, Yang Ming immediately opened the topic and said, "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. We will pack up the spoils immediately and move them to a safe place as soon as possible."
"yes."
Although the three city guards did not receive a positive answer, they were still in awe of Yang Ming and directly implemented Yang Ming's proposal as an order.
The four of them acted together and soon piled up the bodies of the eight bandits together. The three city guards also sent all the valuable spoils they had looted to Yang Ming without any hesitation, allowing Yang Ming, the default leader, to dispose of them.
"There are quite a lot of gains. Clearing out the bandits is indeed a good way to make a fortune!" Looking at the many spoils, Yang Ming couldn't help but be happy.
