Chapter 99: Sword Aura

  The silver birch sound fell, and the bandit leader Li Biao raised his giant axe, emitting a deafening laughter, his eyes narrowed into a line, and a burst of sharp light shot out.

  This Li Biao, his strength is not under Bai Hua! Xia Yan felt the constantly rising momentum of Li Biao twenty meters away, and he could guess Li Biao's strength. Although he hasn't fully opened up all 108 meridians, his strength should be comparable to Bai Hua's. It might even be stronger!

  Although the faces of Bai Hua and several others were extremely solemn, they didn't show any signs of fear. The four people firmly grasped their weapons in hand, with their internal energy fully activated. As soon as the robbers charged forward, they would deliver a fatal blow. Even if everyone was going to be killed in the end, they had to kill as many enemies as possible!

  These are mercenaries, fearless of death!

  "Xia Yan, old brother, I'm really sorry to have dragged you into this matter." Bai Hua said apologetically, turning his body sideways. He had just told Xia Yan to leave, but Xia Yan hadn't left. Xia Yan was still young, yet he had such a strong sense of loyalty, which made Bai Hua extremely appreciative. However, with over a hundred bandits surrounding them, it seemed that everyone would likely die here today.

  "Hehe, since I'm traveling with all of you, it's only natural that we share good and bad fortune together." Xia Yan said with a smile.

  Xia Yan's side of the white rui, eyes flashing a piece of different colors.

  "Xia Yan, little brother, soon Zhang Long and Zhao Meng will clear a path for us. You and Bai Rui make a run for it together, leave as fast as you can!" Bai Hua whispered, his eyes darting around Xia Yan's ear.

  Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, just as he was about to speak, Bai Hua had already turned around and faced the robbers.

  "Big brother, don't kill that little water spirit just yet!" Liu San hastily shouted as he saw Li Biao was about to order his brothers to attack.

  "Kill..." Li Biao let out a few lewd laughs, his eyes glanced at Bai Rui, and finally he let out a loud roar.

  "Kill...... Kill...... Kill......"

  Over a hundred robbers, with an intimidating presence, a sea of dark figures surrounding them, charged towards the five people, with flashing knives and swords, in a scene of utter chaos.

  Not far away, there were some cultivators who were about to enter the Forest of Evil. At this moment, they all stopped in their tracks and did not move forward. They saw that someone was fighting ahead and didn't want to get involved in this muddy water.

  Liu Biao, also holding a giant axe, followed in the crowd with an imposing momentum towards the white birch, his mouth open and shouting wildly. The ground was violently shaking.

  "Hiss~"

  At this moment, a bright and clear air explosion suddenly occurred beside Bai Hua and several others.

  Everyone, including Bai Hua, felt a surge of powerful energy suddenly appearing beside them. This was the sound emitted when the airflow flowed rapidly, bringing up a visible whirlpool of energy. Although it couldn't be seen with the eyes, everyone could feel it clearly.

  Among the shouts of many bandits, this explosion was not very noticeable. Bai Hu and others heard it, but they didn't have time to think about it carefully. They infused their weapons with internal force, preparing to meet the attack of the black-clothed bandits.

  This air current pierced through many robbers who were rushing forward and stabbed directly at the leader of the robbers, Li Biao.

  "This is..."

  "Not good..."

  Bandit leader Li Biao suddenly opened his eyes wide, and a look of terror appeared in his eyes. His body, which was originally rushing towards Bai Hua at high speed, suddenly stopped. He felt a surge of energy rapidly attacking him. The airflow was invisible, but the powerful force made Li Biao clearly feel how terrifying it was.

  In a flurry, Li Biao hastily held up his giant axe subconsciously in front of him, wanting to block the energy that was attacking him.

  "Hmph!"

  Li Biao's body suddenly shook violently, his eyes filled with incredulity. He felt a slight chill in his throat, and then all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away instantly. A stream of blood gushed out from Li Biao's throat, spraying wildly.

  "This is impossible! This is sword energy..." Li Biao's eyes were filled with confusion, who was it... Who could use sword energy to kill himself? These few people, clearly had no spiritual masters!

  "No!!!!" Li Biao wanted to shout loudly, but he couldn't make a sound. Although he covered his throat with his hand, fresh blood still kept gushing out from between his fingers!

  A loud "thud" sound, a giant axe fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

  "Scoundrel, go to hell!" Zhang Long let out a loud roar and with one swift slash of his knife, beheaded the nearest bandit. He then kicked the headless corpse flying out.

  However, one of the robbers was killed, and more robbers soon rushed over, their martial arts skills were not ordinary, and they had rich experience in fighting, every knife aimed at the vital parts.

  "Xia Yan, hide behind me. With me here, they won't be able to touch you." Bai Rui stretched out her slender arm in front of Xia Yan, not turning around, her eyes fixed on the robbers.

  Xia Yan listened to Bai Rui's words and couldn't help but frown, his long sword already drawn in his hand.

  Her brother Baihua, as well as Zhang Long and Zhao Meng, were all fighting hard against the robbers. Swords clashed in mid-air, the scene was chaotic, although they had just won a victory, but Baihua and others were already somewhat overwhelmed, the enemy was too numerous.

  "Whoosh~"

  Bandit leader Li Biao, his sturdy body suddenly went soft and fell to the ground, the surrounding bandits, their figures suddenly stunned, all looked at their big brother with puzzled and astonished eyes.

  "Big brother..."

  "What's wrong with you, big brother?"

  All the bandits stopped and went forward to help Li Biao up. It was only then that everyone saw the red blood constantly flowing from Li Biao's throat, and the sandy ground was stained with a crimson color.

  "What's going on?"

  Liu San originally at the back of the crowd, now rushed forward and asked loudly in shock.

  But no one could answer him!

  Because Li Biao suddenly died, the robbers also stopped attacking Bai Hua and others, slowly retreating a few steps, still surrounding the five people. Bai Hua and others were also puzzled, looking at each other, why did the robber leader Li Biao die suddenly?

  "Just now, I felt a surge of energy flying out from behind me. Could it be that this energy was what killed Li Biao? Or perhaps, it was the sword aura?" Bai Hua's thoughts stirred as he recalled the unusual occurrence earlier. Since the bandits had already charged to his front earlier, he didn't have time to think carefully about it then. Now seeing Li Biao dead, he thought back to earlier...

  Bai Hua thought of this and naturally turned around to take a look, but behind him, there were only his sister Bai Rui and Xia Yan. Bai Rui was naturally impossible to emit sword energy, but could it be that Xia Yan emitted the sword energy?

  Bai Hua shook her head, her eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

  "Brother, what's wrong with that bandit?" Bai Mei asked curiously, her eyes darting back and forth.

  "Haha, big brother, heaven is helping us! That damn bastard wanted to kill us, didn't expect him to die first in a muddle, haha......" Zhang Long burst out laughing, the broad-bladed knife in his hand clanging loudly.

  Zhao Meng also looked at Xia Yan with a thoughtful expression, his eyes full of confusion.

  "Damn it, brothers! It must be those bastards who killed our big brother with their shameless methods. We'll chop them into pieces!" Liu San checked Li Biao's breath again and confirmed that he was really dead before standing up and roaring in anger.

  With a loud roar from him, the more than 100 bandits quickly moved again, waving their weapons and rushing towards Bai Hua and his five men with ferocious faces. These bandits were all fugitives, and it was likely that every one of them had blood on their hands, they would not retreat easily.
