Xiao Lu, Qi Xuan, Jing Mi and Yang Shu were so shocked to see what was happening in front of them.
No one could move, their legs as if embedded. Jing Mi, Qi Xuan and Xiao Lu did not even look trembling, probably because the nerves within their bodies were late in sending signals of fear due to the shock they felt.
A voice of laughter suddenly rang out, along with someone jumping from the top of the tree, right on top of the sword stuck.
The person has a sturdy and muscular body, looks brown like being exposed to sunlight for so long. The man, who is about 46 years old, wears only black pants along his knees without wearing any footwear.
There was a scar on his back, a wound that looked like a sword slash mark. The hair of this person is so short, black in color and looks pointy.
After retrieving his sword, the person walked towards one of the warriors who was still alive but was unable to move anymore.
Xiao Shuxiang could see the face of the muscular man. The face was so rough, with scars on the right cheek and also on his neck. Highlight his sharp eyes stared at the already helpless Protective Swallow swordsman.
The person's left hand grips the swordsman's hair and pulls him up. The face of the Protective Swallow Swordsman was very pale, his forehead and mouth were bleeding, his eyes were already invisible to the living spirit anymore.
"Ja-don't.." in a weak and trembling voice, the other Protective Swallow Swordsman tried to save his comrade despite only flailing his hands.
Right in front of the swordsman, the muscular man gripping his partner's hair separated the swordsman's head with his body using the large sword he had in his right hand.
"Ha ha ha, Weak! Too Weak! Ha ha ha" the muscular man again laughed, this time his laughter was louder.
The voice of this man was so shocking to the surviving merchants and charioteers, they were even more frightened because the Protective Swallow swordsman they paid, now only one person was left, only one person left, it was also in a state of severe injury.
The actions of this muscular man who beheaded the Swallowing Protector swordsman made Xiao Lu, Jing Mi and Qi Xuan very surprised. Suddenly they heard the sound of a heart beating so fast, the bodies of the three of them shook violently. The next second Xiao Lu, Jing Mi and Qi Xuan were lying unconscious on the ground.
The bodies of Yang Shu and Xiao Shuxiang were also trembling. But if Yang Shu trembled for fear that he and his four disciples were killed, then the trembling that Xiao Shuxiang felt was not fear.
"It... What an Incredibly Beautiful View! I-I... Missed it... Disassociate... Heads... Like That..." Xiao Shuxiang tried to catch his breath, he was too excited to shed tears.
Xiao Shuxiang clenched his hands together, he closed his eyes slowly, trying to control himself and trying not to look pleased.
Simultaneously when Xiao Shuxiang opened his eyes, he could feel someone's hand touching his shoulder.
He slightly flinched, at first he thought it was Yang Shu's hand, but it wasn't.
The one touching Xiao Shuxiang's shoulder was a tall man with a thin body, this man's face looked mediocre. This man was dressed better than the muscular man who was far ahead of Xiao Shuxiang.
The man's left hand held a large whip, while his right hand gently massaged Xiao Shuxiang's left shoulder.
"The Good Pieces Sister!" The man who was beside Xiao Shuxiang finally made a sound. A thin smile was painted on his face, the look on his eyes did not look sharp. And no aura of anything came out of this man's body.
If from the eyesight of an ordinary human, this man was not a dangerous person. But actually, this man was even worse when compared to the muscular man earlier.
Yang Shu was so shocked when he heard the foreign voice that was close to him. "Since When Has He...?" Yang Shu had to be unaware of the presence of another person standing right beside her grandson.
The surviving merchants and coachmen were also no less surprised, their eyes opened wide when they saw the man dressed in white with many traces of blood, smiling while talking to the muscular man who beheaded the Swallow Protector swordsman earlier.
"Di-She...? W-If He exists, then that man..." One of the merchants trembled incessantly when he realized who had stopped their journey by attacking the horses, burning the carriage and also to the point of killing the swordsman who was escorting them.
"Me-they both are... Pe-Broot Brothers!" the other merchant who was too shocked, was now lying unconscious on the ground.
The Brothers Robbers are quite famous robbers. They were made up of two cultivators brothers named Gong Ru and Gong Peng.
Gong Ru is Gong Peng's older brother, he uses the whip as his weapon. Personal Gong Ru arguably prefers to talk and enjoy when his sister, Gong Peng slaughtered their targets.
Gong Peng himself used a large sword as his weapon. The sword that every day always polished until it sparkled, the sword used to separate the limbs with just one slash.
Although Gong Peng's body is bigger and more powerful than Gong Ru's, Gong Peng has a submissive nature to his brother's every word.
They both committed robbery and murder in the woods. No one knew the real faces of Gong Ru and Gong Peng, because they never let anyone live after seeing their faces. That was the way Gong Ru and Gong Peng could wander and disguise amongst the villagers.
Both Gong Ru and Gong Peng were at Forging Qi level 9. In this case it is called the Master or the final stage of the Mortal Foundation level.
Only cultivators who were at the level 10 of the Master Foundation or Forging Qi level could be opponents of Gong Ru and Gong Peng.
The reason why these Protective Swallow Swordsmen could lose was because the seven of them were too low on guard.
During this time their journey was so smooth without any obstacles. Even when they were in the Rest Village, not a single merchant item was stolen.
Their smooth journey left the merchants and Swallowing Swordsman Protector unaware that all along they had been targeted by Gong Ru and Gong Peng.
These two brothers have a unique robbery strategy. Originally, Gong Ru and Gong Peng would disguise themselves as ordinary humans by hiding their level of practice.
This made cultivators who had a level of practice below them would not be able to read the practices of the two. They also hide their killing aura very well, then establish good communication with the surrounding residents so that they are not suspected.
They'll take out any criminals who are also targeting their targets. This kind of strategy would make Gong Ru and Gong Peng's targets off guard, they would assume that there was no danger whatsoever targeting them.
Unmitigated, Gong Ru and Gong Peng would protect their targets inside the forest. They will both hunt wild animals that are a kilometer away from the target.
Gong Ru and the new Gong Peng will launch their action when the target is almost out of the forest.
It seems like Gong Ru and Gong Peng misinterpreted the 'difficult first, have fun later' remark'. As a result, they carry out robbery in this unique way.
"You both enjoyed it...?" Gong Ru asked with a smile towards Xiao Shuxiang and Yang Shu.
The next second, Gong Ru giggled. He laughed at Yang Shu because this old geezer was only one level below him.
Gong Peng then laughed loudly, and then exclaimed towards Gong Ru. "Sister, what if I chop them all up..? Ha ha ha!"
Gong Ru looked at her sister, she then walked towards Gong Peng who was currently in front of the merchants and coachmen who were sitting scared on the ground.
Gong Peng grabbed the hand of one of the merchants, he intended to cut off the merchant's hand with his sword. Gong Ru stopped him.
"Sister, don't be like that..." Gong Ru smiled gently, making Gong Peng comply.
Gathering all his courage, one of the merchants tried to speak to Gong Ru. Because according to this merchant, Gong Ru looks like an easy person to talk to.
"Lord, A-take all our possessions... B-but please let ka-we live." this merchant's voice sounded trembling, not just his voice. But the body of this merchant also trembled, his face looked very pale.
Gong Peng who heard this merchant's words, smiled and then said so arrogantly. "Let you live? Ha ha ha ha! Have you not heard of the Brothers Robbers?! We rob and kill, don't spare anyone's life!!"
"Wait for your sister, just let them live. We can sell them as slaves rather than kill them." Gong Ru stopped Gong Peng, as her sister was about to behead the merchant who spoke to them earlier.
Gong Peng was silent for a moment, he scrutinized every single merchant that was in front of him. Although these traders do not have a body as fierce as themselves, but these traders can still be useful as transport workers.
One of the merchants looked old, Gong Peng then approached the merchant. "But, does anyone want to buy this old man, brother?" Gong Peng pulled the collar of one of the merchants.
"What's old, you just finish him off."
Gong Peng smiled broadly at her brother's remark, "Hahahaha, alright Brother! I'll just say, hahahaha."
As Gong Peng laughed happily while torturing one of the merchants, Gong Ru walked over to Yang Shu.
"And for you.. Since today I am happy and you are not seen carrying any valuables, then you may leave. But leave the three children lying on the ground and the beautiful one beside you.." Gong Ru examines Yang Shu's facial features as well as the clothes worn by Yang Shu.
The clothes with rough cloths and many patches, as well as the worn old sword tucked away on Yang Shu's left waist, let alone Yang Shu's face looked pale and his body was slightly trembling... making Gong Ru have no appetite to kill this old geezer in front of her.
After all, when Yang Shu would indeed choose to leave and leave the children she was carrying, then Gong Ru could have her sister go after Yang Shu and finish her off. What a sly man!
Gong Peng who finished having fun with one of the old merchants, now approached the remaining Protective Swallow swordsman and then finished him off.
"Sister, I don't like boys. I'd rather chop girls, khe he he." Gong Peng expressed his opinion when he heard his brother tell Yang Shu to leave his four disciples.
"Don't do it my sister, they all have a high price if they are sold successfully. We will just take this beautiful child and raise him.hihihi" Gong Ru pinched slowly Xiao Shuxiang's chin while chuckling.
To Gong Ru, this seven-year-old child in front of her would be extremely beautiful as an adult. Raising him until he was seventeen would not harm Gong Ru in the slightest.
Gong Ru inhaled a slight scent of Xiao Shuxiang's body, she then smiled as this child had the scent of baby milk.
Xiao Shuxiang himself clenched his hands together after hearing Gong Ru's remark calling her 'Beautiful Child'.
Doesn't that mean Gong Ru thinks of her as a daughter?! This was an insult to Xiao Shuxiang!
"Basic of Disgusting Robbers. I'M A BOY..!!" Xiao Shuxiang shouted loudly, during his second life.
Gong Ru, Gong Peng, Yang Shu, as well as the surviving merchant and coachman gasped in shock upon hearing Xiao Shuxiang's cry. His shout was so loud that even some of the merchant's ears were buzzing.
Gong Ru's eyes were round, "uh? HUH UH?! You-You're a Man..?"
Gong Ru took a closer look at Xiao Shuxiang's face, yet she only saw a face so sweet with a natural red color on both of her cheeks.
Gong Peng was no less surprised, he immediately walked quickly towards his brother and then joined in researching the face of this seven-year-old.
"This boy... Is it really a man...?" just like her brother, Gong Peng also only saw a face that was so sweet and feminine impressed by Xiao Shuxiang.
"It's impossible..."
"I Don't Believe Brother, either,"
Gong Ru and Gong Peng did not believe that the child in front of them was a male. This look of disbelief made Xiao Shuxiang angry.
Xiao Shuxiang's face reddened, his ears feeling hot upon hearing the tone of doubt from these brothers' robbers.
"Do I Have to Show My New Pride You Believe, Huh?!" Xiao Shuxiang could not bear it anymore, he stared intently at Gong Ru and Gong Peng.
At once Xiao Shuxiang showed something that he should not just show, especially in the presence of many people like this.
Yang Shu was so shocked when she saw the actions of her grandson, yet her voice seemed to be held in a throat. Yang Shu could not even move his body, but he was eager to keep his grandson away from these two robbers.
"God... You're a boy. You are so beautiful... Ck ck ck" Gong Ru now believed that the child in front of him was a boy.
The look on Gong Ru's face turned disillusioned, not thinking that the child she wanted to raise turned out to be a man.
Xiao Shuxiang also looked disappointed, but it was not the disappointment that Gong Ru felt. Except for the other disappointment.
"It sucks! My pride is so small now... Hiya..." Xiao Shuxiang hid back what he should not have shown to carelessly people, while poking his lips.
