Chapter Twenty: Setting Out on a Journey
Riding a lone horse for thousands of miles, wanting to travel a road of ten thousand miles. The road ahead is long and distant, but I do not forget the heart that yearns for my hometown.
Long Song rode his thousand-mile horse alone, walking slowly along the small stream. In the stream were lovely fish, swimming freely and not noticing Long Song by the stream at all.
The brook babbles, the mountain forest roars in waves, sending the dragon song to the river where the streams converge.
The river flows with a surging passion, bringing the dragon song to Double Horse Town.
Long Song had a delicious meal in Double Horse Town and then left without stopping, he just left Double Horse Town and encountered a group of robbers.
"Hey kid, you're out here all alone and still riding such a valuable horse?" A one-eyed dragon blocked the way on a remote road, followed by a group of small henchmen.
"What? Want to rob me of my horse?" Long Ge said disdainfully "That depends on whether you have the strength!"
"You're just a little kid, at most a Qi Zhe level, and letting me take action is simply killing a chicken with a bull knife!" The one-eyed dragon head said loudly "Little San, go and deal with that little kid, be careful not to hurt the horse!"
"Alright, I guarantee to complete the task!" Lou Xiao San responded loudly. He had been waiting for an opportunity, a chance to show off in front of Du Yan's big brother. If he performed well, he would be reused. As a small-time martial artist at the Qi Dan level, he usually didn't have any opportunities to take action. Now that he encountered a child, he was naturally very excited to rush up.
"Hum! You don't know what's good for you!" Long Ge naturally wouldn't show mercy. These bandits didn't know how many people they had cruelly harmed in the past, and now they even robbed a child like him. It seemed that they must have done similar things before, so he would give them a taste of their own medicine!
Long Song, with a determined look on his face, took out the specially made golden bow from behind his back (the bows he made for the villagers were all of gold quality, and the only one he made for himself was also of gold quality, not because he was selfish, but to avoid putting the villagers in danger!), drew the bow and nocked an arrow, which shone like a shooting star with a fiery red glow, and shot it at Xiaosan.
Xiao San didn't react in time, and the arrow pierced through his throat before embedding itself into the ground. The fletching at the back of the arrow was still quivering.
How can this be? This is too unbelievable! How is this possible? Is this the kind of power a child should have? All the robbers were stunned, frozen in place.
The one-eyed dragon was completely shocked and after the shock, he desperately found out the reason why Jiao Luo Xiao San died.
"How did you do it?" The Cyclops thought for a long time but couldn't think of a reason, so he simply asked foolishly.
"How you do it doesn't matter, if you want to try, I don't mind going up and down with another person," Long Ge said coolly.
"You're using red Dou Qi, you're not even at the Infant Level, you're no match for me. Leave your money behind and I'll spare your life." Du Yan Long didn't dare to advance at this time either.
"Hehe, even if I'm not at the infant level, you're still no match for me." Long Ge lightly drew his golden bow and said with a smile. Long Ge is now intentionally hiding his true strength, because the deeper you hide, the higher your chances of survival! Only Long Wu and the village chief know that Long Ge has mastered five attributes of Dou Qi, but now he has decided to only show two attributes in front of others: the defensive earth attribute Dou Qi and the attacking fire attribute Dou Qi. The rest will be hidden, and with this dual-attribute Dou Qi, he can smoothly pass the Empire Academy's interview, avoid assassination from other empires, and not reveal his golden attribute Dou Qi. It's a triple win! Only Long Ge, an old sly fox with thousands of years of experience in his past life, could do it so perfectly!
"Oh! I know, it must be your bow. Your bow must be at least silver level or higher, otherwise it wouldn't be so powerful!" Du Yanlong found a good excuse for himself.
"That's right, you guessed it. It's a high-quality silver bow." Sorry, Long Song lied again, saying that the low-quality gold equipment was high-quality silver equipment and hiding his true strength. Don't look at the hidden level, the difference between silver and gold levels is ten times the power. For example, this bow of Long Song's, even without infusing internal energy, can easily kill a master of the Nascent Soul stage. With internal energy infused, it can instantly kill a master of the Spirit Severance stage. You see how important a good weapon is!
"Brothers, up! Let's kill him together!" Du Yanlong shouted loudly, "If we can get a silver-grade bow, it will be enough for us to spend a fortune!"
The Luos heard the high-pitched sound of the silver-grade bow and their eyes had already turned red. Now, hearing Du Yan's command, they charged forward in an instant.
"Since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish!" Long Song had no pity for these bandits who specialized in bullying the weak.
Bandits swarmed up, and Long Ge rode his thousand-mile horse to charge over. After so many days of getting along, the thousand-mile horse was already familiar with Long Ge. When Long Ge charged halfway, the thousand-mile horse jumped up and leaped over the bandits' heads. At the same time, Long Ge performed a series of rapid shots, one arrow after another shooting straight into the bandits' heads, just in the short few seconds when they passed over their heads, all the bandit rascals were killed, leaving only the lone-eyed dragon, who was at the level of a gasping infant.
Because the arrow was too fast, it pierced through the bandit's body, and due to inertia, the bandit continued running forward for seven or eight meters before falling down. By that time, Qianli Ma had already dismounted and landed on the ground with Long Ge.
"Keeping you is to let you pass a message, telling the robbers to remember," Long Ge said to Du Yan Long "My name is Long Ge, not someone you can offend!"
"Got it." Du Yanlong said honestly, he knew that no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't outrun the Thousand Mile Horse, and even if he couldn't outrun the Thousand Mile Horse, he couldn't outrun the arrow shot by Long Ge, so he could only be honest and act as a messenger.
"Haha!" Long Ge laughed loudly twice, then rode his horse away.
No matter if there are bandits in the future or not, Long Song will not be afraid. He just wants to let the bandits know that there is a person named Long Song who has dual attributes of earth and fire, a horse that can run thousands of miles a day, and a silver-grade bow. If bandits come to rob, Long Song will eliminate them for the people; if they don't come, it will also be a deep concealment of Long Song's strength.
However, Long Song may have underestimated the allure of top-grade silver equipment. Although Long Song had already hidden his level, top-grade silver equipment was enough to drive all bandits crazy. Taking down a five or six-year-old child and snatching a top-grade silver bow was something every bandit was eager to do.
As a result, in the following days, powerful bandits frantically gathered information about Long Song, hoping to know where he was going and achieve the goal of killing him and stealing his treasure. However, what Long Song feared least was others coming to rob him.
One day, after leaving a big city, Long Ge was surrounded by a group of robbers. Why didn't the robbers rob in the city? Because there were government soldiers in the city, and robbing in the city would be challenging the imperial authority. No group of robbers dared to do such a bold thing. There was once a more arrogant gang that robbed in the city once and ran away, but unexpectedly, they were all annihilated by the assembled government soldiers within a day. Since then, no robbers have robbed in the city again.
So even if this gang of robbers had more power, and their leader was a master of the air level, they could only wait outside the city gate after receiving news from Long Song.
"Kid, considering your age and weakness, honestly hand over your bow, and I, Nan Tianba, will spare your life." In fact, this powerful master was hoping that after Long Ge handed over his bow, he would be easier to kill.
"My name is not Little Kid, it's Long Ge," Long Ge sat on his horse, looking down at the Big Master who was also sitting on his horse. "If you want to take my bow, come and get it with your own strength, I don't mind having another stepping stone for my fame!"
"Fine young man, quite arrogant! Since you don't know the times, I'll send you on your way!" Nan Tianba waved his long spear from horseback "Nan Family Village's First Small Team, advance!"
"Haha! You bandits still have formations? This is too ridiculous!" Long Ge faced the twenty-man cavalry team rushing towards him, chatting and laughing calmly, but his hands quickly drew his bow and shot arrows in a rapid succession. Only to see bundles of red light shooting out from Long Ge's bow, instantly piercing the vital parts of the bandits, either hitting their eyebrows, throats or hearts. Every arrow hit its mark without exception, even one arrow pierced through the throat of the first person and then through the throat of the second person, a truly divine technique!
All the robbers who didn't take action couldn't help but gasp in shock at this scene. Such archery skills made the human sea tactics completely ineffective! Even if more people went up, they would still be cannon fodder!
"Little brat! You're so ruthless!" Nan Tianba also knew that the human sea tactic was useless, so he decided to charge forward and fight himself. As a third-level master of Qi Xing, he didn't put Long Ge, who was barely at the surface level of Qi Ying, in his eyes. "Let me show you, when there's an absolute gap in strength, good weapons in your hands are nothing but trash!"
"Haha!" Long Ge didn't refute, but looked at Nan Tian Ba who rushed up like he was looking at a dead man, "You want to die early, it's not my fault!"
When Nan Tianba was still twenty meters away, Long Ge made his move, and the Thousand Mile Horse galloped towards Nan Tianba like a flying arrow.
In an instant, the two were almost colliding, Nan Tianba wielding a top-grade copper spear, seemingly intent on knocking Long Ge off his horse, while his entire body was shrouded in a yellow-orange aura.
"He's skilled in yellow earth attribute Dou Qi, with a third-level Qi form. His defense is strong but his attack is weak. I should break through his defense first and then give him a fatal blow!" In just an instant, Long Ge had assessed Nan Tian Bao in his mind and thought of a way to counter him!
Qianlima suddenly made a sharp turn, allowing Nantianba to slip away. Meanwhile, Longge infused his golden attribute Dou Qi into his fire attribute Dou Qi and shot three consecutive arrows at the back of Nantianba's head with incredible speed and accuracy!
Nan Tian Ba was surprised by Qian Li Ma's movement, but he still had great confidence in his own defense. He believed that Long Ge, who possessed fire and earth attributes, would not be able to break through his defense.
But he was wrong, the golden attribute Dou Qi quickly broke through his defense, and then the fire attribute Dou Qi burst out, blowing his head to smithereens!
Because Long Ge hid his Metal attribute Dou Qi within his Fire attribute Dou Qi, none of Nan Tian Ba's subordinates knew that Long Ge had used Metal attribute Dou Qi. And as for Nan Tian Ba himself, he wouldn't say anything because he was already finished!
"Who else?" Long Ge shouted, holding his bow.
Will the robbers dare to go up?
