Chapter 38 Three Heroes and Five Righteous Men
Bai Yutang shook his head: "No, he came from outside and went west. He's quite skilled; he doesn't seem like an ordinary petty thief."
Lu Fang breathed a sigh of relief, then started getting dressed and frowned, saying, "We're staying here temporarily, we can't just stand by and watch something happen to the village."
"Of course, I'll go take a look." Bai Yutang nodded and headed straight for the person who had come from.
Lu Fang didn't stop him. His fifth brother had always been fond of chivalry and justice, and now that this had happened, he would not stand idly by no means.
Besides, Fifth Brother is highly skilled in martial arts. Even if he can't capture someone on the spot, he can still escape without any problem.
However, considering that Bai Yutang had just said the newcomer was quite skilled, and that he wasn't carrying any weapons, he was surprised to learn that the newcomer was skilled.
Lu Fang was still a little worried, so he simply called Xu Qing, Jiang Ping, and Zhan Zhao along. The villagers were all ordinary people, so he didn't disturb them.
Hua Chong estimated the time and figured the person inside should be unconscious. He smiled smugly, opened the window, and was about to climb in.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed his calf tightly, and then he felt a strong force pulling his body out uncontrollably.
Having spent many years in the underworld, he was experienced and quick-witted. Surprised, he didn't even look at the person, but instead kicked hard with his other foot. Taking advantage of the moment when the person let go, he leaped over the wall.
Hua Chong was secretly surprised. He had originally wanted to prepare a birthday gift for his friend Deng Che, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time. Feeling anxious, he passed by this place and happened to see the village woman. At that moment, he was overcome with lust.
He had already scouted the area during the day and knew that the village was full of ordinary people. He went directly to this house at night. He had also checked the surroundings before entering the house and made sure no one was there. Where did this person come from?
The dark clouds dispersed, and soft moonlight bathed the earth, while a somber atmosphere permeated the small courtyard.
If it were any other petty thief caught doing something wrong, they would definitely run away immediately, but Hua Chong is different.
He was a complete lecher, who, relying on his superior martial arts skills, repeatedly entered women's boudoirs to rape and murder them, and never failed.
As the saying goes: Great skill breeds great courage!
Now that he has been discovered, he has no intention of running away. Instead, he stands still by the wall and carefully observes the person who came by in the dim moonlight.
The person who arrived was standing quietly in the courtyard, bathed in the bright moonlight, as if draped in a mysterious silver veil.
She possesses a reserved and understated demeanor, exuding an air of nobility in every gesture. Her clothes flutter gracefully in the breeze, displaying a free and easy style.
He simply stood still, and somehow managed to make the mottled courtyard wall beside him look like a traditional Chinese ink painting.
At that moment, the four characters "蓬荜生辉" (meaning "my humble abode shines with glory") instantly became
This tiny village has such a remarkable person!
On a whim, Hua Chong decided to test the strength of the newcomer; if he was no match for him, he could simply climb over the wall and leave.
"Where did you come from, brat? How dare you ruin my good time! State your name now!" Hua Chong, the villain, accused first and shouted coldly.
Bai Yutang frowned, took out a handkerchief, and carefully wiped the hand that had just touched Hua Chong's leg, his face full of disgust.
“Those who steal flowers and willow branches dare not ask my name.”
Bai Yutang's tone was full of disgust, as if saying a single word to Hua Chong was an extremely repulsive thing.
Hua Chong snorted coldly and said no more. He immediately stepped forward and charged towards Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang calmly dodged the attack by sidestepping, and then his body floated lightly like a feather as he flew straight to the roof.
Hua Chong missed his first attack and immediately turned to pursue, drawing his precious sword from his waist with a clang. The sword flashed coldly and moved with lightning speed, heading straight for Bai Yutang's face.
Bai Yutang neither dodged nor flinched, his eyes calm and unwavering, seemingly oblivious to the approaching blade.
"clang!"
A sword suddenly appeared, blocking Hua Chong's blade midway.
"Who goes there!"
Hua Chong thought to himself, "This is bad: More people have come?"
"Zhan Zhao!"
Zhan Zhao was quick and agile. Upon hearing Lu Fang's report of a thief, he immediately got up and rushed over. Before he knew the exact location, he saw Bai Yutang land on the roof, his posture upright and extremely conspicuous.
He immediately used his lightness skill, leaping several times to the scene. He drew his Zhanlu sword and blocked Hua Chong's knife.
"Are you Zhan Zhao?" Hua Chong was shocked.
"Exactly!" Zhan Zhao's gaze was sharp, and the Zhanlu in his hand hummed even more fiercely.
The name of a person is like the shadow of a tree; the Southern Hero Zhan Zhao is renowned for his prowess, and Hua Chong has naturally heard of him.
The young man from before didn't make a move; he simply flew onto the roof. Although we don't know the extent of his martial arts skills, his lightness skill was already extremely impressive. Now, the Southern Hero Zhan Zhao has arrived.
This is bad!
Could it be that someone deliberately set a trap to catch him?
Hua Chong, unusually agitated, felt a growing urge to retreat, but he didn't show it on his face, coldly saying, "So it's Zhan Zhao, the Southern Hero! I've heard so much about you!"
Zhan Zhao wasn't blind. In the dead of night, this man was dressed in black and his face was covered with a black cloth. He knew this was no good person. Just as he was about to say something to persuade the man to surrender, Zhan Zhao realized that he was not a good person.
But then I saw a trembling butterfly tucked behind the ear of the person in front of me.
His face instantly darkened, his gaze became devoid of warmth, and his gentle demeanor suddenly turned icy.
"Are you a social butterfly?"
Hua Chong knew things were going badly. His actions had already angered many, and many fellow martial artists were vying to kill him.
If Zhan Zhao didn't know his identity, it would have been fine, but now that he does, he will definitely not let him go.
Don't stay here for long!
"Exactly!"
Hua Chong decided to run, but his body lunged towards Zhan Zhao, the blade flashing coldly.
Zhan Zhao had long wanted to rid the martial arts world of this great scourge, so he immediately stopped talking and went to meet it with his sword in hand.
Unexpectedly, Hua Chong feigned an attack, ostensibly using a knife, but in reality, as the two clashed, he used Zhan Zhao's momentum to retreat, flicking his wrist to send a dart flying from his sleeve straight at Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly dodged. When he stood still and looked in Hua Chong's direction again, he found that the person had already climbed over the wall and escaped, and his whereabouts were unknown.
Zhan Zhao immediately regretted his carelessness in letting someone escape.
Turning back, he saw Bai Yutang still on the roof and immediately asked, "Brother Bai, have you seen the butterfly go that way?"
Bai Yutang remained on the rooftop, observing the two's every move and knowing exactly where Hua Hudie had gone. Even if he didn't see her immediately, his mental power could help him pinpoint her location again.
"follow me!"
The slender figure swiftly darted off in one direction.
Zhan Zhao followed.
"Fighting is not convenient in this village, and there are many ordinary people. If we push Butterfly too far, he might resort to desperate measures and threaten the lives of the villagers. It would be better to let him go to a secluded place first and capture him in one fell swoop."
Zhan Zhao suddenly realized that he had been wondering why Bai Yutang, who was always so righteous, was so unmoved by the name of this "flower butterfly" and even let him escape. So that was his plan.
“Brother Bai’s idea is good, but the Flower Butterfly’s lightness skill is superb. What if he really gets away?” Zhan Zhao asked.
"No way!" Bai Yutang said confidently.
