Chapter 348: Bandits from Another Dimension

Fang Ming's hand holding the sword was shaking a little...

He never expected that he was obeying his father's order to visit his uncle and was passing through this place just to stay for one night, but he actually encountered such a brutal thief.

No one knew where this group of thieves came from. They all had strange looks, were covered in animal skins, and were mumbling nonsense. They were like wild men, killing anyone they saw and robbing anything they saw... All the servants who followed him were killed, and even Uncle Yan, who was responsible for protecting him, was no match for the thief leader...

Speaking of which, the bandit leader was indeed very powerful. Uncle Yan was a third-grade master certified by the imperial court. Ordinary bandits retreated when they saw his aura. Uncle Yan killed several of these barbaric bandits at the beginning. In the end, the bandit leader did not know what method he used or how he moved. Uncle Yan's hands and feet suddenly became uncontrollable, and even his protective qi became chaotic. The bandits next to him took the opportunity to hit him on the head with a hammer, and he fell to the ground seriously injured and was hacked to death.

Although all the servants around him were killed, Fang Ming was brave. With the sword in his hand and the sword skills taught by a famous teacher, he stabbed several bandits in the melee. However, as the townspeople and government officials surrendered one after another, Fang Ming was the only one who was still resisting in the whole town. The bandit leader probably wanted to play around, and did not order a siege, but let one of the bandits duel with Fang Ming, and everyone watched the excitement.

In front of him was an enemy who was taller and more ferocious than himself. All around him were bandits who were speaking a language he could not understand, laughing loudly, and there was also a bandit leader who had some mysterious means at the side. Fang Ming knew that there was no chance of escape.

But the men of the Fang family would rather die standing than live on their knees. Even if he is faced with inevitable death, he will drag a thief down with him!
Thinking of this, Fang Ming clenched the sword in his hand, roared, spotted the opponent's weakness, used a meteor move, and stabbed straight at the opponent!

This was Fang Ming's most proficient move, and it was extremely powerful, but once used, there was no turning back, and it was a life-and-death move. He hadn't used it before, just to catch the thief by surprise at the end and kill him!
The thief didn't expect that the young master had such a secret weapon. He had no time to dodge in a panic and could only swing his sword to block. However, the sword in Fang Ming's hand was a first-class weapon. The oxtail sword broke into two pieces after the collision. Fang Ming's sword continued to move forward and went straight to the thief's heart!
But just when the tip of the sword was about to pierce, Fang Ming suddenly felt that his hands and feet were out of control. As he braked with his feet, his wrist automatically exerted force to deflect the sword. While the thief dodged the attack, he also lost his balance and fell to the ground, landing flat on his face.

It was the same weird move again... Fang Ming looked at the thief leader who was smiling and raising his hand. He gritted his teeth and was about to stand up, but he felt someone stepping on him from behind. A half-broken knife was pressed against his neck, and he could not move.

"You shameless thieves!" Fang Ming cursed loudly and was about to fight back while holding the sword, but the thief leader suddenly hooked his finger at him. Fang Ming felt his palm open uncontrollably and the sword slipped out of his hand. Then it floated up by itself and slowly flew into the hands of the thief leader.

The thief leader held Fang Ming's sword, looked at it carefully, and chopped it towards the bluestone next to him.

With a clang, a corner of the bluestone was cut off, and the triangular cut was smooth and flat. Looking at the sword blade again, there was no trace of damage.

"Excellent steel!" the thief leader exclaimed. "Even the military factories in Utopia don't have materials of this quality."

Fang Ming naturally didn't understand what this guy was saying, so he could only continue to curse. However, the thief leader also lost his patience and ordered his men, "Kill him."

The strong thief nodded, raised the broken knife with a grin, and was about to cut Fang Ming's neck.

Knowing that his death was imminent, Fang Ming resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes. However, the expected cold touch did not come. Instead, the pressure from behind him suddenly disappeared. Then there was a thud sound beside him. At the same time, the screams of the gangsters around him were also heard.

Fang Ming opened his eyes and found a headless corpse lying beside him. It was the bandit he had just fought. The bandits watching from all sides became agitated, and the leader of the bandits in the middle was no longer calm. He stood up and looked at this side in surprise.

Is there any expert who can help me?
Is he a disciple of the Sword Saint? Or a master of the Heavenly Gate?

Fang Ming immediately imagined a domineering scene in his mind of a majestic white-bearded old man coming to the rescue, or a beautiful scene of a fairy in white making her appearance.

He turned his head with anticipation, but was completely shocked by the scene before him.

Not far away, I saw a naked man wearing only a pair of shorts, holding a human head in his hand.

What was even more surprising was that the man had a scarf wrapped around his face, covering the lower half of his face...

Is this... a master who is here to help, or a pervert...

The bandit leader frowned and looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him.

Just now, this man appeared without any warning and instantly killed his blessed subordinates... You know, after being blessed, not only will the strength be greatly improved, but the body will also be covered with invisible armor, which can even resist the shooting of muskets!

But in front of this man, the invisible armor was useless... and his speed was so fast that people couldn't react. If the target of that move just now was me, wouldn't it be...

Luo Jun threw the head in his hand and turned around to look around.

There shouldn't be any acquaintances...

This time, he took off the midnight mask in advance. After all, that mask was too famous. Even if no one saw it, people would associate it with midnight. He had just shown off his skills in Utopia and then came to Wulin. It was easy for people to know where he was.

So he simply put away the mask. There were no cameras in this world. Even if he showed his face, as long as there were no acquaintances, no one would be able to associate him with Luo Jun through word of mouth. But to be on the safe side, he still took out a scarf of ordinary quality from the treasure box to cover his face.

Luo Jun's gaze finally fell on the face of the thief leader. He frowned slightly, then opened his mouth and said a name in the common language of Xiluo:
“Douglas?”

When the thief leader heard this, his eyes widened immediately: "You know me? Are you from there too?"

Luo Jun snorted coldly. Although his translation tool had been returned, he already had some basic knowledge of the Xiluo language. In addition, he had heard it a lot in Utopia in the past few days. With his current mental strength, his learning progress improved by leaps and bounds. Although he had not mastered it completely, he could already complete simple conversations.

"I've seen your wanted poster." Luo Jun looked at Douglas with a cold gaze: "The leader of the Fanged Hounds!"

That’s right, this Douglas and other bandits are the fanged vicious dogs that the city defense forces mentioned before, who were causing trouble in the south of Parami City!
According to officer Raymond, this gang of bandits was defeated by them in the south fortress of the city and fled deep into the desert. Unexpectedly, this gang of deserters discovered the Gate to All Worlds in the desert and reached the [Wulin]!
It seems that they skinned the bears, killed the wild animals along the way, and even found the town at the foot of the mountain to burn, kill and loot! Although most of the Fanged Hounds were killed outside the city of Parami, and there were only about 200 remnants left, and they lost their equipment when they passed through the Gate of All Realms, but as robbers, their brutality is far from that of ordinary people. In addition, the leader of the Fanged Hounds was blessed in an ancient ruin. Although these robbers have not practiced vitality, with the blessing of Douglas's ability, they will have a protective shield similar to Gangqi on their bodies, and their strength and defense will be greatly enhanced. Even the soldiers and yamen runners in the [Wulin] town who have some martial arts skills are not their opponents. The whole town cannot withstand the attack of these robbers.

Looking at this scene, Luo Jun sighed. Although it was an unintentional act, the fact that these bandits escaped here was closely related to his Gate of All Worlds.

Of course, Luo Jun did not regret it. This was a matter of life and death for his master. If he were given another chance, he would still decisively open the Gate to All Worlds. However, looking at this dilapidated town and the dead and injured people, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty... But at the same time, he also felt hatred towards these bandits!
"A bandit is a bandit. He can never change his bad nature no matter where he goes." Luo Jun looked at Douglas coldly. The murderous intent in his eyes made the arrogant bandit leader feel a little cold in his heart.

After shuddering, Douglas raised his hands without hesitation and used all his strength to unleash his control ability on Luo Jun!
This ability feels amazing when activated, just like playing a musical instrument. Douglas instinctively knows how to operate it to cause the opponent to react, just like a skilled musician who knows which string to pluck and what sound will be produced.

But at this moment, when he tried to control Luo Jun, he felt that he was not plucking the delicate strings of a musical instrument, but the pillars supporting the dome of the palace!

What kind of monster is this? I can't operate it at all...

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he felt a flash before his eyes, and the naked masked man disappeared from his sight. Then he felt dizzy, and with a thud, his head seemed to hit something. Looking carefully, he saw a headless corpse in front of him. Behind the corpse stood the masked man...

"This is... my body... where's the head?"

This was Douglas' final thought...

Seeing Douglas' death, the bandits under his command also panicked. In their eyes, the boss possessed magical powers and was like a god... But now, this god has fallen. How could they have the courage to fight against the "god-killer" Luo Jun? After hesitating for a moment, they dropped their weapons and fled.

Luo Jun naturally didn't intend to let them go. He took out the Tomb King's urn, released the undead warriors inside, and began to chase these guys.

Without Douglas's ability, these bandits were not even at the Solid Foundation Realm. They were just strong ordinary people without any suitable weapons. How could they resist these undead warriors? They were caught and killed soon.

Luo Jun looked at the shining urn and thought that even though it was stuck with the strange crystal, it did not affect its use... On the contrary, the undead warriors seemed to be more agile and their movements were smoother than before... Could it be that they were strengthened?

Seeing that all the robbers had been killed, the townspeople who had escaped death breathed a sigh of relief...but they were not happy at all. Their houses had been destroyed, their families had been killed, and even if they survived, they could not return to their once happy lives.

The embarrassed old man who was stepped on by Douglas before also climbed up, came to Luo Jun, and bowed respectfully, "My hero... I am the local county magistrate. On behalf of the surviving townspeople in the county, I sincerely thank you for your help. It's just that the town was robbed by bandits, and there were heavy casualties. I'm afraid I can't give you much reward... If the hero doesn't mind, you can stay in the town for a few more days and let us treat you well..."

"You're welcome..." Luo Jun waved his hand. "It's just a small favor. As a local official, you should lead the people to rebuild their homes... By the way, is there an oil mill in the town? Or other flammable things that can start a fire?"

"Yes! Yes!" The county magistrate immediately arranged for people to get them. Luo Jun controlled the undead warriors to drag back the bodies of the bandits, piled them on an open space, poured oil on them, and set them on fire.

Although these bandits are dead, their appearance still shows the characteristics of the Utopia world. If they are left behind and seen by the people of the Yuanxiu Society, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. After the burning, there is no physical object, and it is difficult to accurately express it by relying on the verbal description of the surviving townspeople.

As for those undead warriors, the townspeople did not react much.

This place is close to southern Xinjiang. Among the southern Xinjiang tribes, there is a group that specializes in practicing the art of controlling corpses and ghosts. Although practitioners who can control zombies to fight are rare, everyone has heard of them and simply regards Luo Jun as a master who is proficient in the art of controlling ghosts.

After dealing with the robber's body, Luo Jun asked for a set of coarse cloth clothes to put on and planned to leave. But just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by someone.

"My benefactor, please stay!"

Luo Jun looked back and saw that it was the young man who had duelled with the robber before.

When Luo Jun was cleaning up the bodies of the robbers, the young man had expressed his gratitude to Luo Jun and offered him gold and silver, but Luo Jun refused. He remembered that the boy's name seemed to be Fang Ming, and judging from his clothes and behavior, he should not be a child from an ordinary family.

"I wonder which direction you are going, benefactor?"

Luo Jun was slightly stunned, and after a little thought, he said: "I am also wandering around the world, without any clear purpose..."

"Then I have an unwelcome request..." Fang Ming gritted his teeth and said, "I am from the Hedong family. This time, I obeyed my father's order and went to Yunzhou City to visit a friend. I didn't expect to encounter a bad guy when I was staying here..."

"All the servants who accompanied me died here, especially one of the guards, whose hometown is in Yunzhou. He came here to visit his relatives, but he died here with me... I wanted to transport the body of the guard to Yunzhou and hand it over to his family, but it was inconvenient for me to go alone, and I was worried about encountering bad guys along the way... So..."

"So you want to hire me to escort you to Yunzhou City?" Luo Jun understood what Fang Ming meant.

"I wouldn't dare say I'm hiring you..." Fang Ming explained, "I'm just asking for your help. Of course, as a token of my gratitude, I'll definitely give you a generous gift afterwards!"

"Only the guard?" Luo Jun looked at Fang Ming: "Where are the other servants?"

"Others..." Fang Ming explained, "It's a long journey to transport them back, so we can only bury them on the spot..."

Luo Jun looked at Fang Ming and thought that it was only about a hundred miles from here to Yunzhou City, so it wouldn't take much time, so he nodded and agreed.
