There was a loud noise, and the long sword in the hand of the bandit dressed in black was broken into two pieces! Zhao Meng, who was already at the second level of Foundation Establishment, concentrated his true energy on the long sword. How could the bandit in front of him be able to resist it?

The man in black stared, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. His chest was slashed by Zhao Meng, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood in a hurry.

The man in black's expression changed drastically because he didn't see the light of Zhao Meng's sword clearly, which made him feel extremely horrified.

Both of them were at the Foundation Establishment Realm, but the guy in front of him actually cut off his long sword with a single blow, causing himself internal injuries.

When Zhao Meng saw this, he was secretly happy and shouted: "Come on! I will fight with you!"

After that, he held the knife and rushed towards the man in black!

The bandit dressed in black was immediately startled and shouted from behind: "What are you doing standing still? Brothers, come together and kill this guy. They will have no monks anymore."

Hearing this, the dozen bandits behind him suddenly realized.

Each one took out his own weapon and rushed forward with a roar. The distance between the two sides was not that far to begin with, but the group of guys in front of them were fighting with Zhao Meng with the greater number to defeat the smaller number.

"Brothers, go ahead and kill these bandits!"

Before the bandits here could rush up and surround Zhao Meng, the guards hidden in the darkness also appeared one after another. No matter what, they could not let the leader fight the bandits alone.

For a moment, the beach outside the camp was in chaos, and the guards hiding in the darkness rushed out and attacked the bandits.

In just the blink of an eye, the situation turned around, and the guards formed a deadly siege on the bandits.

Zhao Meng had quick eyes and quick hands, and when he saw that the man in black's long sword was about to cut into his chest, he made a mistake in his steps and rushed past the man.

The bandit missed the target and immediately turned around to strike again.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw a bright sword light that quickly magnified in front of him.

"Crack!"

With a loud noise, the man in black was split open by Zhao Meng, and blood spurted out from his neck, instantly splashing on Zhao Meng's face and body.

The other Kans who rushed up were even more frightened and angry, and they all let out loud roars, and for a moment their swords, lights, and swords were attacking each other.

I don't know how many bandits have fallen under the swords of the guards of the Qi Gathering Realm. You must know that these guards climbed out from the pile of dead people.

And where have these bandits seen such a ferocious guy? A group of guards who are more ruthless than the bandits has become their nightmare.

The desperate bandits used all kinds of killing moves, but it could not change the result of their being brutally killed. Smoke and dust flew everywhere for a while.

Zhao Meng wiped the blood stains on his face and mocked disdainfully: "I thought you were so powerful, but you couldn't resist my blow?"

He knew that this was the first time he had fought head-on against the bandits in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and it was truly a miracle that he could survive.

The guards saw the leader chop down the powerful guy in front of them,

The dust dispersed, revealing the bandit who had been chopped down by the guards.

When the bandits saw what was happening clearly, they were so frightened that they turned around and ran up the mountain with a loud roar.

Each one of them looked horrified and shouted hysterically: "This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible, how can these dozens of guys defeat more than a hundred of our brothers!"

Zhao Meng had no expression on his face and said calmly: "Nothing is impossible, because we are officers and soldiers and you are bandits."

After speaking, he took a step forward, leaving a faint shadow on the spot in a flash.

He didn't have time to pay attention to the complaints of the bandits. He just raised his knife and chopped. With a muffled bang, the bandits flew out from his side one by one.

The dark night suddenly became a mess, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

After knocking another bandit away, Zhao Meng shouted: "Brothers, we can't let these bandits go and leave them all on the beach!" "Damn it, you are dreaming! I will fight with you!"

The bandits didn't dare to stay, so they all turned around and ran up the mountain. At this moment, every one of them wished they had two extra legs.

Who has the strength to fight with you?

Just as Zhao Meng was calling his brothers to rush forward, an old man in black suddenly came from not far away. With just a blast of wind from his palm, Zhao Meng was blown away three feet away.

With a "wow" sound, Zhao Meng immediately vomited a mouthful of blood.

Xindao, with his current strength, can't even slap himself in the foundation building stage.

Fortunately, the old man in black was still several feet away from him, otherwise he would never have simply vomited blood.

"Boss!" A group of bandits looked at the old man and shouted one after another: "If you come here a step later, my brother will never see you again."

The old man in black shouted: "I usually ask you to practice hard, but none of you listen. Even if you suffer more, why are you being chased and killed today?"

A group of bandits who were lucky enough to survive stopped one after another, pointed at Zhao Meng and the guards who were chasing them not far away, and shouted: "Boss, kill these guys and avenge your brothers!"

The old man scolded the bandits who dared not look directly at him, then turned to glare at Zhao Meng.

He said coldly: "I don't care what your background is. If you dare to come to my territory and act arrogantly, then don't leave even one of you. Go down and accompany my dead men."

Zhao Meng turned his head and glanced in the direction of the big ship, turned around and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and spit it on the ground.

He replied: "Are we arrogant? It was you who took action at sea first, what else can we do?"

"If you are brave, let me send you to heaven!"

After the old man finished speaking, he turned his hand into a sword, and the powerful Qi condensed into a burning long sword in his palm, which was about to strike at Zhao Meng in the next moment!

"Whoosh!"

A faint voice came, and a black lightning flew from the seaside, instantly piercing the unknown flame in the old man's hand.

Then he continued to move forward. Amidst the old man's exclamations, a black iron arrow had pierced his chest.

The old man's face was full of horror, and he saw a golden flame burning in his chest, which he could not extinguish no matter how hard he tried.

Just as he was about to take off his black robe to put out the fire, a black shadow flew up from the sky.

Before the old man could react, a black shadow rushed up to him and punched him hard in the chest.

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan had hurt the old man, Zhao Meng punched the old man in the chest with thunderous force. With the sound of bones breaking, a large piece of the old man's chest immediately sunk.

A mouthful of blood spurted out instantly, and the old man's face instantly turned pale. Then he flew straight out and fell on the beach with a thud.

In this sudden change, in less than half a quarter of an hour, the old man in black, who was already in the late stage of the Golden Elixir, turned into a burning man.

The old man on Penglai Island was completely destroyed.

A group of bandits screamed in fright and continued running up the mountain.

While running, he exclaimed: "Oh no, the boss has been beaten to death. Brothers, please run for your lives!"

Li Xiuyuan, who was standing on the rocks, said to Zhao Meng from a distance: "Take your men, rush up the mountain, and destroy their nest!"

Zhao Meng turned around and laughed: "Thank you, it's a miracle that I survived."

After saying that, nearly forty guards rushed up and shouted: "Brothers! Attack with me and wipe out all the bandits on this island!"

At this time, all the guards rushed over and roared: "Don't worry, sir, we brothers will work together to attack and destroy the bandits on this island!"

The night wind gradually picked up, but it could not stop the determination of a group of guards.

They all followed the fleeing bandits and chased them into the mountains.

Li Xiuyuan said to Xu Fu on the big ship: "You and others will guard the ship. I will follow Zhao Meng to see if there are any powerful bandits here."

Xu Fu quickly responded: "Shopkeeper Li, don't worry, I'm here to watch."

Li Xiuyuan stepped off the big rock, held the iron bow, and headed towards the mountain step by step.

He would not follow up the mountain. He believed that as long as he stood at the bottom of the mountain, he could see everything happening in the mountain.

If he wanted to, he could shoot the bandits who suddenly escaped from the darkness.

In his opinion, even if there were no monks on Penglai Island, there should be no bandits entrenched here. This time, if not for Xu Fu, or for the nearby fishing villages, he would have to clean up these bandits.

In his eyes, these bandits were not even as good as the Imperial Guards in the imperial city, and there was no need for him to follow them up the mountain.

Different from the nervous mood of Zhao Meng and a group of guards, there was no emotion on Li Xiuyuan's face at the moment, let alone excitement and confusion.

Along the way, the guards hid behind the carriages, relying on some traps and the magic circles they set up to fight against the imperial guards from the imperial city.

But everything has changed since they arrived on the island. Today's battle is the first time they face the bandits who kill without blinking an eye, and fight against the real strong men.

He had heard from Zhao Meng before that actually the guards selected from the Forbidden Army also had their own methods, but these guys had stayed in the Imperial City for too long and had long forgotten how to fight people head-on.

Well, now, with the battle on the island, these guards will probably be thinking about how to make up for their shortcomings for a long time in the future.

After all, practicing cultivation is like sailing against the current. You may encounter an opponent more powerful than yourself in the next moment.

Quietly releasing his spiritual consciousness in the wind, he saw Zhao Meng breaking through the gate of the stronghold that was completely undefended.

At this time, the bandits on the mountain had already fled, and no one could organize even an effective resistance.

Less than half a year later, a burst of fire shot up into the sky. It must have been that Zhao Meng and others set fire to the bandits' lair, not wanting to leave anything useful to the guys who came later.

After shaking his head and once again confirming that Zhao Meng and others had eliminated all the bandits, Li Xiuyuan put away his bow and arrow and turned towards the camp.

Li Xiuyuan waved a magic talisman as he passed by the corpses of bandits that had fallen to the ground. For a moment, piles of flames burned on the beach.

Seeing the fire on the beach, Xu Fu also got off the boat and came all the way to Li Xiuyuan.

"Shopkeeper Li, you didn't go to the mountain?" Xu Fu said excitedly: "Is it dangerous for Zhao Meng to rush up the mountain with his guards?"

"Probably not." Li Xiuyuan threw branches into the fire and replied quietly: "I have killed the leader of the bandits, and several other guys at the foundation level have also fallen here."

Xu Fu was silent for a long time and then said: "If we do this, does it count as doing a good thing for the people in the fishing village?"

Li Xiuyuan sighed and said with a smile: "Of course it's a good thing. At least the nearby fishermen no longer have to worry about being robbed by bandits."

Xu Fu laughed at himself and said: "It's true that God is not as good as man. Even if we kill them, we won't think that the shopkeeper will follow us to the island, right?"

Li Xiuyuan took a deep breath, seeming to be thinking about the parting that would happen soon.

He said quietly: "There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. In the years to come, you will have to face all the dangers you encounter on your own."

Xu Fu's mood was very complicated. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and shook his head and said, "You have helped me a lot. I never dreamed that such a day would come to me before."

Li Xiuyuan poured two cups of hot tea and said with a smile: "Come to see me next time you return to the Imperial City."

Xu Fu was startled and asked quickly: "You mean, I will still have a chance to break through?"
