“Da da, da da, da da…”
Amid the rapid sound of horses’ hooves, Xu Taiping and the other three people rushed into the street of Hongling Town, which was ablaze with fire and thick smoke like a gust of wind.
“Mother, where are you, mother？ Mother！”
“You damned people, we have no enmity with you. Why did you kill my parents and kidnap my wife and children！”
“Who will save my child? He is trapped in the house and can’t get out！”
Listening to the cries for help in his ears, Gu Yu’s expression was a little trance-like, as if he had returned to the day when Hongli Academy was caught on fire.
In a trance, the horse under him almost rushed into a burning shop.
Seeing this, Xu Taiping immediately shouted：
“Gu Yu, do you still want to see the scene of that fire again？”
Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head vigorously and said：
“Rather die than！”
In an instant, Gu Yu’s originally trance-like eyes suddenly became firm again.
At this time, a horse’s neigh suddenly sounded.
I saw Xuanzhi, who was galloping at the front, suddenly reined in the horse’s reins and stopped.
Immediately afterwards, I saw him turn his head and look at Xu Taiping and said：
“Brother Taiping, I can’t just sit back and ignore the common people on this street！”
Dongfang Yuejian also stopped at this time and frowned and said：
“The Reward Book for Military Merits has just issued a reward.”
As she spoke, I saw her unfold the Reward Book for Military Merits in her hand.
I saw that there was an extra line of words on the Reward Book for Military Merits —
“From now on, for every additional common person who dies because of you, 100 military merits will be deducted. On the contrary, for every additional common person who is rescued because of you, 10 military merits will be added.”
Xu Taiping frowned and said：
“Deducting 100 for one death and only rewarding 10 for one rescue, the rewards and punishments of the Dragon-Slaying List are unfair.”
However, in fact, even if there was no such reward issued by the Dragon-Slaying List, Xu Taiping had already planned to stop and save people.
It’s just that the fact that the Bahao Valley didn’t choose to kill them in the small courtyard but waited for him in the ancestral hall of Hongling Town, and this fire in front of them, all made Xu Taiping have a feeling of falling into their plot.
And the target of this plot is not Gu Yu, the Dragon Catcher, but the three of them, the Dragon Slayers.
At this time, I only heard Dongfang Yuejian say again：
“Brother Taiping, the eight tones dried wooden fish of Master Xuanzhi should be able to help me cast a low-level cloud and rain spell, but the divine soul and true essence that the two of us can exert will probably be exhausted.
Xu Taiping, who had originally had some confusion in his heart, suddenly had a realization on his face after hearing Dongfang Yuejian’s words and said：
“So that’s how it is.”
Xu Taiping understood.
Choosing to fight against him and these few people in Hongling Town, as well as this big fire, was not accidental, but was used to consume the mana on the three of them.
With this thought in mind, Xu Taiping’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and he murmured in his heart：
“The Eight Heroes Valley couldn’t possibly have this ability. There must be another team of dragon slayers giving them instructions behind their backs.”
Seeing that Xu Taiping didn’t answer for a long time, Dongfang Yuejian asked worriedly：
“Brother Taiping, do you think it’s inappropriate to save people at this time？”
Xu Taiping didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Gu Yu, who had already dismounted and was rescuing the people together with Xuanzhi, and thought in his heart：
“Even if you have calculated how to consume the mana on us, you will never expect that we still have a Gu Yu.”
So, Xu Taiping shook his head at Dongfang Yuejian and said：
“It is indeed a bit risky, but I think it should be worth it.”
After secretly weighing it in his heart for a while, Xu Taiping had already made a decision.
Seeing this, Dongfang Yuejian immediately nodded and said：
Since Big Brother Taiping has decided, then I will now perform the Cloud and Rain Technique!
As soon as the words fell, Dongfang Yuejian turned over and got off the horse, and then took out the treasures given by the divine turtle one by one from her sleeve, and quickly constructed a simple formation on the street according to the order of setting up the formation.
However, at this moment, a team of more than a dozen bandits like fierce gods and evil spirits suddenly rode on the tall horses like lightning, and rushed over like a tide from the other end of the street.
Then, the bald bandit at the head pointed his long knife directly at Xu Taiping and the others and said：
“Where did these reckless outsiders come from, daring to meddle in the affairs of my Bahao Valley！”
As soon as these words came out, Xuanzhi and Dongfang Yuejian stood up together and looked at the group of bandits on the horses with a vigilant expression.
Xu Taiping gently patted Xuanzhi’s shoulder and said without looking back：
“I will stop them, and you continue to use the Cloud and Rain Technique to put out the fire.
The two immediately nodded slightly.
And Gu Yu, who was originally saving people, then quickly ran to Xu Taiping’s side, pressing the handle of the knife and saying：
“Master, no, Immortal, I will block these bandits with you！”
Xu Taiping shook his head and said：
“No need, just a group of small minions. Your opponent is the eight villains in the ancestral hall.”
Gu Yu was stunned for a moment. Although he stopped, he couldn’t help but ask worriedly behind Xu Taiping：
“But immortal
Xu Taiping didn’t answer. Instead, when he was still twenty or thirty zhang away from the group of Bahaogu bandits, he stopped.
Seeing this, the bald bandit immediately snorted and said：
“Do you think you can stop us alone？ Court death！”
Then, he raised the long knife in his hand and sneered at the other bandits behind him and ordered：
“Little ones
As soon as the words fell, he suddenly flicked the reins of his horse and urged the fierce horse under him to rush towards Xu Taiping.
And the group of bandits behind him also shouted and galloped out on their horses at this time.
The scene of more than a dozen fierce horses galloping out on the street was like a torrent, extremely terrifying.
But Xu Taiping didn’t move at all and had no intention of avoiding.
Gu Yu on the side saw this and was extremely anxious in his heart.
However, just when the group of bandits galloping on horses was only more than ten zhang away from Xu Taiping, Xu Taiping suddenly pressed the handle of the knife, his eyes tightened, and then he shouted angrily：
“All of you get down for me！”
At the moment when this angry shout sounded, a powerful fighting spirit turned into a violent wind and swept away from around Xu Taiping’s body.
“Boom！”
Accompanied by a deafening sound of breaking wind, the warhorses under the dozen or so of the Eighth Hao Valley were suddenly startled by this fighting spirit and raised their hooves in unison, shaking all the gangsters on the horse’s back down.
The bald, after getting up from the ground in a disheveled manner, immediately roared angrily and said:
“This guy can only use this kind of means to scare animals！ The sixteen of us, with sixteen knives, even if the immortals in the sky come down to earth, we can chop them to death with random knives！”
“Go up！”
“All of you go up！！”
As he spoke, I saw the bald holding a long knife and leading a dozen strong of the Eighth Hao Valley raising their knives and slashing at Xu Taiping in unison.
