　　“We have many people, and he is alone. Kill！”
　　“Kill！”
　　“All on the upper floors, attack together！”
　　But just after dealing with that team of crossbowmen, more than a hundred axes that had already been ambushed in the shops and inns on both sides appeared at the end of the street.
　　These desperadoes almost swarmed out from the inns and shops around at the same time, slashing and killing towards Xu Taiping.
　　Some axemen even directly jumped down from the upper floors, raising the axes in their hands and slashing towards Xu Taiping on the street.
　　“Rumble…”
　　Precisely at this moment, under the urging of Dongfang Yuejian’s Cloud and Rain Art, suddenly a downpour poured down from the sky.
　　“Zheng！… ”
　　Almost at the same moment, the sound of the knife mingling with the sound of a crane’s cry suddenly rang out at the end of the dark street.
　　Immediately, with his gaze fixed tightly on Gu Yu over there, Xu Taiping’s figure suddenly turned into countless afterimages and intertwined with those hundreds of axemen.
　　“Boom！…”
　　Before Gu Yu could even react, a sudden sound of sword qi breaking through the air rang out.
Immediately after, those hundreds of axemen, as if not knowing how to resist, were successively chopped down to the ground by Xu Taiping’s afterimages.
　　In the blink of an eye, the original more than a hundred axemen were left with only dozens.
　　Seeing this, Dongfang Yuejian patted Gu Yu on the shoulder and said：
　　“Let’s go and help Immortal Taiping together！”
　　Gu Yu immediately nodded vigorously and then ran towards the end of the street together with Dongfang Yuejian and Master Xuanzhi.
　　Although the mana of Dongfang Yuejian and Master Xuanzhi had been almost exhausted, a lean camel was still bigger than a horse. Even so, their combat power was still far greater than that of those ordinary axemen.
　　“Bang！”
Finally, after Xu Taiping chopped down a strong man with a combat power similar to that of a Martial Master Realm with one sword the four of them rushed out of the street together.
Dongfang Yuejian looked back at the burly bandit who was chopped down to the ground by Xu Taiping and then turned to Xu Taiping with some worry and said:
　　“Brother Taiping, among the bandits in Bahao Valley, there is very likely a warrior with a combat power higher than that of the Martial Master Realm. We have to be careful later.”
　　Xu Taiping looked in the direction of the ancestral hall with a fire and said：
　　“There is no need to wait for a while. We have to be careful now.”
　　As he spoke, Xu Taiping took a stride and jumped up, and then slashed at a figure in the darkness with a knife.
　　“Bang！”
　　Amid the loud noise, Dongfang Yuejian and the others looked in astonishment and saw that there was actually a strong warrior in the Martial Master Realm lurking in the shadow on the road ahead, as well as several people with combat power not weaker than that of the bandits in Bahao Valley.
　　“Ceng！”
As Xu Taiping once again fully urged the power of qi and blood to strike with the knife, the bandit in the Martial Master Realm was cut short by him with a single knife.
　　And the other several bandits died under the joint efforts of Dongfang Yuejian and Xuanzhi.
　　Gu Yu really wanted to make a move, but unfortunately the speed of his move was far slower than that of the three.
　　Seeing this, Xu Taiping continued to run forward while shouting to Gu Yu without looking back：
　　“Gu Yu, I said, don’t rush to make a move. Your opponent is in the ancestral hall！”
　　Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then his heart warmed up. He clenched the long knife tightly and his eyes became cold and said：
　　“I understand, Immortal Taiping！”
　　Obviously, Xu Taiping was opening the way for his revenge.
　　“Boom！ ……”
　　After encountering several more waves of ambushes, Xu Taiping finally brought Dongfang Yuejian and the other two people, and rushed all the way to the gate of the ancestral hall that was burning with raging flames.
　　“Bang！ ……”
　　Xu Taiping kicked open the gate of the ancestral hall with one foot.
　　Immediately, everyone saw a group of tall bandits standing in a row at the entrance of the courtyard of the ancestral hall.
　　And in the middle of the courtyard, there was a woman kneeling, holding her own daughter in her arms.
　　Ba Hao Gu, as if having expected the arrival of Xu Taiping and the others long ago, after seeing Xu Taiping break the door, there was not a trace of fear on the faces of the group of bandits, but all with disdainful smiles.
　　Especially, the eight old men sitting on chairs in the middle of the row of bandits.
　　Although these old people already had gray hair, their bodies and bones were even stronger than those of young people.
　　Xu Taiping turned his head and looked at Gu Yu：
　　“Are they the eight sitting on the chairs？”
　　Gu Yu nodded vigorously, and then said with a slightly trembling voice：
　　“Yes…　it’s　them！”
　　Although so many years had passed, Gu Yu still instinctively feared those eight people in his heart.
　　Xu Taiping nodded, and then carried the bloody knife in his hand and walked straight across the threshold and entered.
Then, a particularly strong and robust bandit stepped forward and glared at Xu Taiping angrily, saying:
　　“How dare you, who let you in？”
　　Without saying a word, Xu Taiping suddenly threw the long knife in his hand, which had already curled its blade, towards that man.
　　“Swish！”
Amid the sound of breaking through the air, the gangster who had berated Xu Taiping was directly pierced through the chest by the long knife thrown by Xu Taiping.
After piercing through the chest, the force in the long knife even dragged the burly figure of that bandit and hit the wall behind heavily.
Although several gangsters stepped forward to block, in the end the gangster who had berated Xu Taiping was still firmly nailed to the wall by the long knife.
　　“Pop, pop, pop！ ……”
　　At this time, the eight people sitting on the chairs suddenly smiled and clapped in unison.
　　Then, the one-eyed old man sitting in the very center suddenly smiled and looked at Xu Taiping and Dongfang Yuejian and Xuanzhi beside him, saying：
“As expected of a highly skilled person from the sky. Even though his magic power has been exhausted, a casual throw can still kill a master of our Bahao Valley.
　　At this time, before Xu Taiping and the others could speak, a middle-aged man walked to the center of the courtyard with a knife in his hand and came to the woman.
　　Then, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and smiled at the three of Xu Taiping, saying：
　　“But this is not heaven. There are some things that one can’t have the final say.”
　　As he spoke, the middle-aged man, without any warning, slashed at the back of the woman who was still holding a little girl in her arms.
　　The woman threw her head back in pain and let out an extremely shrill scream.
　　And the little girl in her arms was so scared that her face turned pale, and she kept trembling and said in a trembling voice：
　　“Uncle, don’t hurt my mother. My mother is afraid of pain. She is most afraid of pain.”
　　After hearing the voice of the little girl, the woman actually endured the pain on her back abruptly, reached out and gently patted the back of the little girl and said：
　　“Don’t, don’t speak, don’t speak. Mom doesn’t hurt, no…”
　　Before the word “no” was even out of her mouth, the middle-aged man pulled out the knife inserted in her back. The piercing pain immediately made the woman faint.
　　Seeing this, the little girl immediately let out a heart-rending cry.
And the middle-aged man, as if nothing had happened, still squinting looked at Xu Taiping with a smile and said:
　　“I forgot to introduce myself. I am Mo Yu, the current valley master of Bahao Valley.”
As he spoke, he picked up the long knife in his hand again, Youdaoplaceholder0 the tip of the knife at the little girl in the woman’s arms, and squinting looked at Xu Taiping with a smile and said:
　　“You masters, what follows is a personal grievance between my Bahao Valley and Gu Yu. If you dare to make a move, I, Mo Yu, will not hesitate to send this mother and daughter on their way！”
　　Seeing this, Gu Yu didn’t hesitate to stand up and said：
　　“Alright, I’ll fight you！”
　　Xu Taiping gently patted Gu Yu’s shoulder, motioning him to calm down, and then looked at Mo Yu expressionlessly and said：
　　“How do you plan to settle this personal grievance？”
　　Mo Yu put away the knife in his hand, then sneered, turned his head to look at the eight old men behind him and said：
　　“He, Mo Yu, has a grievance with the eight ancestors of my Bahao Valley. To settle this grievance, naturally, he also has to fight the eight elders to the death.”
　　Dongfang Yuejian immediately frowned and said：
　　“One against eight？ You’re daydreaming！”
　　However, after hearing these words, a flash of joy passed through Xu Taiping’s eyes.
　　He knew Gu Yu’s true combat power better than Dongfang Yuejian, and even Xuanzhi who had tried the knife with him.
　　And if he could win a one-on-eight battle in one fell swoop, then this Bahao Valley and the Dragon Slayer behind him would have no room for maneuver.
Because by then, the cultivation bases of him, Xuanzhi, and Dongfang Yuejian had all been released from the confinement.
　　Although Gu Yu was still full of fear in his heart towards those eight people, looking at the girl who was crying heart-rendingly, he finally suppressed the fear in his heart and looked directly at Mo Yu and said：
　　“I　promise　you！”
　　However, Xu Taiping raised his hand and interrupted：
　　“One against eight is fine, but you must first send one person to test the knife with Gu Yu.”
