Entering the Martial Arts World for the First Time(five)

Lin Feng and Lei Bao walked along the narrow and rugged path. The surrounding woods became denser, and the night fell like ink, gradually covering everything. The moonlight filtered through the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows, adding a bit of mystery and gloom to this path. Lin Feng's palms were slightly sweaty, and his heart was beating involuntarily faster. After all, this was his first time really venturing into an unknown danger.

Just as they were moving forward cautiously, suddenly, a burst of noisy curses and a woman's scream came from not far ahead. Lei Bao and Lin Feng looked at each other, and both saw vigilance and nervousness in the other's eyes.

"It seems there's something going on. It might be trouble."

Lei Bao lowered his voice and said.

"Be careful and stay close to me."

Lin Feng nodded silently. His hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his steps became lighter and more determined.

The two quickly approached the direction of the sound. By the moonlight, they saw that in a clearing ahead, a group of robbers were surrounding a young woman and an old man with white hair. The robbers were all holding bright - bladed weapons, with greedy and fierce expressions on their faces. The leader of the robbers was burly, with a fleshy face. A hideous scar on his face extended from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth. He was staring at the woman and the old man viciously and shouting loudly,

"Be sensible and hand over all your belongings, or I'll make you bleed to death on the spot today!"

The young woman, although her face was full of fear, still had a glimmer of stubbornness in her eyes. She tightly protected the old man in front of her. Her voice was trembling but firm.

"You robbers, don't even think about taking our things! If you have the guts, kill us!"

The old man was also trembling slightly, but he still held himself up and glared at the robbers.

"You villains who do all kinds of evil will surely be punished one day!"

Seeing this scene, the sense of justice in Lin Feng's heart was instantly ignited. He remembered the original intention of his leaving Qingping Village, and remembered those innocent people oppressed by the "Six Directions Alliance". Without hesitation, he stepped forward and shouted,

"Stop! How dare you commit such a robbery in broad daylight? Do you have any regard for the law?"

The robbers were startled by this sudden shout and turned their heads one after another. When they saw Lin Feng, a look of disdain appeared on their faces. The leader of the robbers looked Lin Feng up and down and burst out laughing.

"Where did this little brat come from? How dare you meddle in your grandpa's business? I think you're tired of living!"

The other robbers also laughed in unison, as if Lin Feng's appearance was just a joke.

Lei Bao also walked out of the woods and stood beside Lin Feng. His eyes were calm and sharp, staring closely at the robbers. He whispered to Lin Feng,

"Kid, don't be impulsive. These guys seem a bit tricky. Act according to the situation later."

Lin Feng nodded. Although his heart was nervous, there was more anger towards the robbers.

The leader of the robbers saw that Lin Feng and the other were not afraid at all. His face darkened, and he said viciously,

"Since you're courting death yourself, don't blame grandpa for being rude! Brothers, go and deal with these two meddling fellows together!"

As soon as the words fell, the robbers brandished their sharp blades and rushed towards Lin Feng and the others.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and pulled out the long sword at his waist. The sword glistened with a cold light in the moonlight. He remembered the swordsmanship taught by Li Yichen, trying hard to calm himself down and prepare for the upcoming battle. Lei Bao also quickly pulled out the long knife at his waist. The blade glowed with a cold luster. His eyes revealed a fierce look, as if telling the robbers that they had met their match today.

The first robber who rushed up brandished his big knife and slashed towards Lin Feng's head. Lin Feng was quick - eyed and quick - handed. He sidestepped and at the same time stabbed the long sword in his hand, aiming straight at the robber's chest. The robber quickly retreated, dodging this attack. But Lin Feng's offensive did not stop. He then launched a series of sword moves. The sword shadows flickered, making the robber a bit overwhelmed.

At the same time, Lei Bao also engaged in a fierce battle with the other robbers. His saber - techniques were fierce and powerful. Each slash carried a sharp momentum. The robbers retreated one after another under his attack and did not dare to approach easily. Lei Bao fought while observing Lin Feng's situation. Seeing that although Lin Feng was a bit nervous, his swordsmanship was still steady, he nodded secretly in his heart.

However, the robbers, after all, had the advantage in numbers. They gradually adapted to the attack rhythm of Lin Feng and the other and began to organize an effective counter - attack. Several robbers besieged Lin Feng from different directions. Lin Feng suddenly felt a great deal of pressure. He struggled to wave his long sword, trying to block the robbers' attacks, but was still scratched on the arm by the sharp blade of one of the robbers.

Lei Bao saw that Lin Feng was injured. His heart tightened. He let out a loud shout. The long knife in his hand was like a black lightning bolt, quickly forcing back the robbers who were besieging him, and then rushed towards Lin Feng. He waved his long knife, forcing back the robbers who were besieging Lin Feng, and then said to Lin Feng,

"Kid, be careful. Don't fight recklessly!"

Lin Feng gritted his teeth and nodded. He knew he couldn't back down. He endured the pain in his arm and raised the long sword again, fighting side by side with Lei Bao. The two of them became more and more tacit in their cooperation. Their attacks and defenses complemented each other, and they gradually gained the upper hand.

The leader of the robbers saw that his subordinates could not defeat these two people who suddenly appeared. He was both surprised and angry. His eyes rolled. Suddenly, he rushed towards the young woman and the old man. He planned to take them as hostages and force Lin Feng and the other to surrender.

Lin Feng was shocked when he saw this scene. He ignored his own safety and rushed towards the leader of the robbers.

"Stop! Don't hurt them!"

Lin Feng shouted loudly. The leader of the robbers saw Lin Feng rushing over and a proud smile appeared on his face. He grabbed the young woman's hair and put the sharp blade on her neck, threatening,

"You two, put down your weapons, or I'll kill her right now!"

Lin Feng stopped. The long sword in his hand trembled slightly. He looked at the young woman's frightened eyes, and his heart was full of contradictions and pain. Lei Bao also stopped his movements. A glimmer of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but soon became firm again.

"You despicable guys! If you have the guts, come at us. What kind of hero is it to bully a weak woman!"

Lin Feng said angrily. The leader of the robbers laughed heartily.

"Cut the crap. Put down your weapons quickly, or she's dead today!"

Just at this tense moment, Lin Feng suddenly saw a strange light flash in the young woman's eyes. She nodded slightly. Lin Feng's heart moved. He understood this was an opportunity. He suddenly let out a loud shout and pretended to rush towards the leader of the robbers. The robbers thought he was going to fight desperately and became nervous one after another.

At this moment, the young woman suddenly exerted all her strength and broke free from the robber's control. At the same time, she took out a dagger from her bosom and stabbed it towards the robber's arm. The leader of the robbers didn't expect this woman to resist. Caught off - guard, his arm was stabbed. In pain, he let go of the sharp blade in his hand.

Lin Feng seized this opportunity and quickly rushed forward. The long sword in his hand stabbed towards the robber's chest. The robber wanted to dodge, but it was too late. Lin Feng's long sword pierced his chest. The other robbers were panicked when they saw their leader killed. They turned around and fled one after another.

Lin Feng looked at the fleeing robbers and didn't chase after them. He knew that he had successfully repelled this group of robbers. He let out a sigh of relief and turned to look at the young woman and the old man. A grateful smile appeared on their faces.

"Thank you, two heroes, for saving our lives! If it weren't for your timely arrival, we would have lost our lives today."

The young woman said gratefully. Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.

"When we see injustice, we should draw our swords to help. This is what we should do."

Just then, Lin Feng suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a hint of worry hidden in the eyes of the young woman and the old man. He couldn't help but feel puzzled in his heart, wondering what unspeakable secrets they had. Lei Bao also noticed this. He frowned slightly and looked at Lin Feng. A sense of unease welled up in both of their hearts. Was there a greater crisis hidden behind this seemingly calm situation? How would Lin Feng and the others deal with it? Everything was still unknown...
