Chapter 34 Slaying the Bandits

Under the collective efforts of the people, within just one day, fences were erected all around Osmanthus Village, leaving just one entrance to prevent strangers from entering and exiting the village.

Moreover, every household in the village bought gongs and drums.

If a thief breaks in at night, they can immediately sound the gongs and drums to alert other villagers.

Then they can catch the thief at the first opportunity.

"Husband, do you think anything will happen?"

Su Weiwei asked, a bit worried.

After all, the disturbance in the village was too great, giving the feeling of an impending storm.

"Nothing to worry about, it's just a precautionary measure."

"If those thieves dare to come, we'll slaughter them all."

Jiang Fan clenched his fists, this was the confidence that strength brought him.

If he was still the small fisherman from before, facing such a situation, he would have been in panic long ago.

How could he be as calm as he is now, watching the wind and clouds pass by.

However, considering how rampant the thieves have been lately, it's better not to go fishing.

He didn't care for himself.

He was most afraid of something happening to Su Weiwei at home.

After all, there's never a reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days.

Perhaps there's a need to find an opportunity to catch all the thieves in one go to eliminate future troubles.

"Okay."

Upon hearing this, Su Weiwei felt much more at ease.

She felt that as long as she stayed by this man's side, she was in the safest haven.

There was no need to worry about other problems.

......

In the dead of night, under the sparse starlight.

Three figures quietly climbed over the wooden fence of Osmanthus Village, entering the village silently.

Their movements were very agile.

"Brother Zhao, are we really going to sneak into Osmanthus Village again tonight?"

"Last night we killed a family in this village, alerting them."

"It's said that the vigilance is now very strict."

A strong man dressed in black said in a deep voice.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a bunch of fishermen, what can they do to us?"

"Back when we were stealing in the northern lands, we could scale walls and leap rooftops."

"Do they think building some fences can stop us? It's wishful thinking."

"I just want to steal again and show this village that all their efforts are in vain."

"And after this job, we'll flee and join the Red Eyebrow Army."

"Even if they become furious, there's nothing they can do."

Zhao the Fifth said smugly.

He wanted to see the villagers resent him, yet be helpless against him.

"Brother Zhao, which house shall we steal from tonight?"

Another young man asked curiously, having joined the gang early on, and trusted Zhao the Fifth implicitly.

"Previously I observed a fisherman's household."

"Only a couple lives there, about seventeen or eighteen years old."

"And they cook three meals a day, with smoke rising every day, making it obvious their household is quite wealthy."

"After all, an ordinary family can't afford to eat three meals a day."

"And since there are so few of them, even if they discover us, we can still subdue them in time."

Zhao the Fifth's eyes flashed coldly, having long targeted Jiang Fan's family, intending to gain a fortune.

"Brother Zhao, we'll follow your lead."

"After this job, we'll disappear and join the Red Eyebrow Army."

The two nodded.

Whoosh!

In the silence of the night, the three, as agile as cats, quietly approached Jiang Fan's house.

They listened intently for any sounds within, seemingly hearing rhythmic breathing inside.

Immediately they relaxed, knowing the owner of the house was deeply asleep.

As long as they didn't make much noise, they could stealthily steal the family's wealth and escape unnoticed.

With a soft click, Zhao the Fifth and his companions expertly picked the door lock and were just about to sneak in.

Suddenly, a tall figure appeared directly in front of them, staring straight at them.

"You three, sneaking into my house, what do you intend to do?"

The person was Jiang Fan.

Although he was sleeping, ever since practicing the Soaring Snake Technique, his Five Senses were extremely sharp.

Even the slightest movement would wake him up.

If an enemy harbored killing intent, he could even sense it from several meters away.

So when the three thieves entered his house, he noticed immediately.

Of course, Su Weiwei was still asleep.

"I!"

Zhao the Fifth and his companions were shocked and panicked, never expecting that they had just opened the door and were already caught by this young fisherman.

If this young fisherman sounded the alarm to alert the other villagers, they would definitely die.

Because the villagers' hatred for thieves was beyond compare.

Once caught, they would be beaten to death.

They exchanged glances, seeing the killing intent in each other's eyes.

Before he could alert anyone, they thought it better to strike first and stab him to death.

In that way, they could ransack the place.

"Enough, no matter your intentions."

"To hell with you all."

Jiang Fan looked at the three, his mind calm, as he wielded the Chengying Sword.

The sword emerged like a dragon!

The cold sword like a beam of light!

With a clang, a flash of sword light seemed to pierce through the dark night sky.

What?!

Zhao the Fifth and his companions didn't even have a chance to react, as their heads were suddenly sliced off, flying like watermelons, blood spilling as if it were free.

With a thud, their heads hit the muddy ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Their eyes were wide open, as if dying with grievances.

It seemed inconceivable that they died in such a manner, beheaded by this young fisherman with one stroke.

Not giving them a chance to even argue.

"Dare to show killing intent towards me, if not you, then who else?!"

Jiang Fan calmly looked at the three corpses on the ground.

Initially, he thought of conversing with them, but upon sensing their killing intent, there was no more need for words.

After all, they were just a group of thieves, he thought, they're dead, so be it.

They had come knocking, he couldn't be blamed.

If he didn't have some ability, he'd be the unlucky one.

Earlier, Uncle Xie's whole family faced total annihilation by thieves.

So he didn't hold back.

"No wonder they call it a Divine Blade, it's truly powerful."

Jiang Fan held the Chengying Sword, sighing inwardly.

With this Divine Blade, he could even take on a Strong Sinews Realm Martial Artist.

An Upper weapon greatly aids a Martial Artist.

Especially a Treasure Sword that can slice through iron like mud.

If an enemy is hit, they would be pierced instantly, with no cure.

With one cut, it's like slicing vegetables, easily splitting the enemy in two.

These three thieves had decent skills, quite agile.

Yet, they couldn't fight back against his Entry Level Aurora Swordsmanship.

Like killing chickens, he slayed them in an instant.
