Song Xingzhi vivió durante el reinado del emperador Huizong

Capítulo 205

"Ru Feng, are we about to part ways?" Yu Xuan whispered before falling asleep at night.

Ru Feng, holding his coat and squinting under the tree, nodded in response and said, "Yes, it's almost time to part ways. I should go and wipe out my bandits. To be honest, I prefer to call them mountain bandits."

"That's not the point, Rufeng. The point is we're about to separate." Yuxuan was a little frustrated. He had acted too impulsively that day, and he was also jealous of her relationship with the royal uncle. He also remembered the good feeling he had experienced in the palace that night, so he wanted to use the same trick again. He didn't expect that Rufeng would have the ability to protect herself by then, and instead, she slapped him unexpectedly.

Isn't this what they call "trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead"? He failed to steal the chicken and instead suffered a loss himself, being slapped by a woman for the first time in his life, and the slap landed right on his face. Luckily, everyone kept quiet about it, otherwise he would have definitely made that person pay!

"It's over, it's not like we'll never see each other again," Ru Feng said softly. She listened carefully to the sounds around her. Her body had almost fully recovered thanks to Zui Yue's experiments, but she couldn't use her internal energy recklessly yet, just to better recuperate. Ru Feng valued her life, so she hadn't used her internal energy these past few days. But listening to her surroundings, she figured it wasn't too serious; after all, safety first.

Seeing Ru Feng's indifferent reply, Yu Xuan returned to his seat dejectedly, muttering, "Heartless Ru Feng, all my sincere feelings!" He could only express his emotions with such an exaggerated tone now. Otherwise, if he took it seriously, Ru Feng would run away, not even wanting to look at him.

When would the most wealthy and dashing young master in the capital ever receive such treatment? Yu Xuan smiled bitterly. The night passed peacefully, and after another day of walking, they entered the heart of the mountains. Surrounded by towering trees, thorns, and wild vines, they no longer needed to lead their horses, allowing them to roam freely. Their vigilance gradually relaxed. But just when they least expected it, bandits appeared.

Taking them by surprise and catching them off guard, these bandits weren't stupid. But how long had they been observed by the thieves? Surprisingly, not a single one of them noticed.

Ru Feng and Yu Xuan exchanged a glance, then looked at the large number of bandits in front of them. They only had about twenty people; was it worth it for the bandits to send over a hundred of them to attack them?

Yes, bandits! Suddenly, over a hundred burly men dressed in coarse gray clothes and wielding large knives rushed out of the woods. Their leader was a one-eyed man in his forties, tall and fierce-looking. With a wave of his hand, he decisively ordered, "Kill them all, leave no one alive!" Without giving them time to think, the bandits swarmed forward. Meanwhile, Ru Feng and his group also drew their weapons and began to fight.

Ru Feng touched his precious sword, a gift from Mu Wenchen. Although it wasn't as good as his previous one, it was still a very famous soft sword, which pleased Ru Feng greatly.

The fighting had begun, and everyone else was a top-tier bodyguard, including Zhou Qian and Zhou Hou. So Ru Feng and Han Shan only needed to protect Zui Yue, while Zhou Qian and Zhou He stayed close to Ru Feng. Zui Yue even helped out, spraying medicinal powder around like it was free sand. As a result, Ru Feng's group, having taken the antidote over the past few days, were fine, but what about their opponents? They were also unharmed.

Ru Feng and Zui Yue exchanged a glance and saw the ominous look in each other's eyes.

Sure enough, throughout the scene, it was a case of several people against one, and the bandits were quite skilled, leaving the guard surrounded in the middle struggling and in a very sorry state until he received guidance from Nanshan. As a result, Zhou Qian and Zhou Hou initially had to leave Rufeng and go to help instead.

These people are no ordinary individuals! Ru Feng thought to himself. They appeared well-trained, not like a group of bandits, but rather like a group of specially trained soldiers. Their movements were synchronized, forming an encirclement, seemingly intent on cutting off Ru Feng and his companions' retreat. Sure enough, just as Ru Feng's thoughts turned to this, he felt a chilling, cutting aura assail him from behind. Turning his head, he saw a sharp light aimed directly at him. The source of this light was the longsword in the hand of the one-eyed man he had seen earlier. Below that, a pair of eyes were as cold as ice, looking at Ru Feng as if he were a dead man, devoid of any life.

Without hesitation, Ru Feng shouted and pushed Zui Yue behind him. He stood up straight, and the soft sword in his hand emitted a silver light. With a clang, the soft sword, infused with internal energy, became straight. Ru Feng drew a beautiful arc, and the airflow brought by the sword energy made her hair fly slightly.

With a clang, the two men's blades clashed, and Ru Feng and his opponent took a step back.

Chapter 156 Suppressing Bandits

Seeing this, Ru Feng's expression immediately became serious. This was the first time she had encountered a master who was on par with her.

Without exchanging a single word, the two immediately began to fight.

"Senior Brother!" Zuiyue called out, looking at the two people together. They were just light and shadow, and she, who did not understand martial arts, could not see them at all. She only knew that the two of them were creating the strongest air currents, and now there was even another person added!

Oh my god, what should I do, senior brother? Zuiyue paced anxiously in circles.

"Don't disturb Senior Brother!" Han Shan shouted from beside Zui Yue, desperately raising his sword to block the danger before him.

Yu Xuan's situation is better because he is a prince, so his personal guards surround him, ensuring his safety.

Zui Zhu brandished her long sword, her eyes flashing with excitement as she unleashed her ruthless sword technique. Under the watchful eyes of Ru Feng and Nan Shan, her martial arts skills had improved significantly, and now it was time to test herself.

As the second most skilled martial artist among his fellow disciples, Zui Zhu could easily handle four burly men on his own. Nan Shan, on the other hand, was only good at light footwork. After dodging for a while and seeing that the situation had stabilized, he quickly ran to safety under the cover of the others. He was nowhere to be seen in the bloody scene.

Ru Feng held a sword, his expression solemn. The sword light flashed through the air, leaving narrow, crisp streaks, like crystal blades crisscrossing. Wherever the sword light touched, it created a heavy pressure.

The two burly men were no ordinary men either. They coordinated their attacks against Ru Feng. One of them wielded a heavy, broad-backed sword, seemingly swinging it casually, yet every strike was a deadly move. The one-eyed man also wielded a longsword, but his coordination with the other was impeccable, as if they had practiced it countless times.

Although the three swords didn't clash much, the killing intent emanating from their blades and the sword energy swirling and colliding filled the space with a hissing sound. Thanks to her ruthless sword and a modified version of the Yuchi sword technique, her attacks were as swift as the wind, incredibly fast. Coupled with her sharp mind, her experience in dealing with formations, and the fact that she possessed a treasured sword, she was able to barely manage a draw against the two of them.

But after the one-eyed dragon's howl, a middle-aged man appeared. The man reeked of a foul odor, making Ru Feng feel extremely uncomfortable. By the time Ru Feng realized something was wrong, it was too late; the situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse. Ru Feng gradually felt as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on him with every swing of his sword. Eventually, even swinging the sword became difficult, and after a while, he was drenched in sweat. "Ru Feng, run!" Yu Xuan shouted urgently, also covered in sweat, as he had already sent his guards to Ru Feng's aid. Zhou Qian and Zhou Hou, realizing the situation was dire, rushed over, bringing several enemies with them.

With the help of several guards and Zhou Qian and Zhou Hou, Ru Feng calmed down and swallowed a pill without hesitation.

"Ru Feng!" Yu Xuan's martial arts skills were also quite good. He chopped off a head with one stroke and quickly rushed to Ru Feng's side, fighting alongside her.

Ru Feng's energy had been restored. She glared hatefully at the newly joined enemy and showed no mercy when she attacked.

Unbeknownst to them, Ru Feng and Yu Xuan had already distanced themselves from the others, and the number of people present gradually decreased, with blood flowing everywhere on the ground. Unbeknownst to them, the group had reached a precipice, where Ru Feng and Yu Xuan fought back-to-back against the three of them, with Ru Feng dealing with two and Yu Xuan with one.

"Are you alright?" Ru Feng shouted.

"Not bad!" Yu Xuan said defiantly, his face flushed red as he struggled to deal with the enemy in front of him.

Ru Feng frowned, knowing his stamina was gradually dwindling. He knew that delaying would cause trouble, so his face darkened. With a sharp cry, his power surged, and a sword aura flashed past. His opponent dodged to the side, and Ru Feng seized the opportunity to thrust his sword diagonally, aiming directly at the One-Eyed Dragon's vital point. The One-Eyed Dragon hastily parried, but the other, seeing the chance, disregarded the One-Eyed Dragon's life and struck directly at the opening Ru Feng had created.

Just then, Ru Feng's sword slipped from his hand, and several darts suddenly appeared in his left hand, shooting towards the burly man with the knife.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, so when the burly man with the knife had his throat slashed by a dart, the one-eyed man's longsword also came flying.

As Ru Feng flipped in the air, dodging the one-eyed dragon's attack, the remaining darts in his hand were already being fired at the enemy who was hostile to Yu Xuan.

In just a moment, Ru Feng killed two people! Yu Xuan was overjoyed.

One-Eyed Dragon's face darkened, and he attacked the frail Yu Xuan with his sword. Just as Ru Feng landed, he suddenly rushed towards Ru Feng. Ru Feng was caught off guard and was swept away by One-Eyed Dragon's momentum before he could even stand up, falling off the cliff!

"No—" Yu Xuan's heart-wrenching voice suddenly filled the air!

In the capital city.

"Are you sure Yuchi Rufeng is really dead?" A deep, gentle voice came from behind the heavy gauze curtains.

"Yes, Master. One-Eyed fell off the cliff with Yuchi Rufeng at the last moment. Afterwards, the Third Prince and others searched for a long time at the bottom of the cliff but could not find them. The Third Prince even wanted to jump down after them, but was pulled back by the people around him. Now they all believe that Yuchi Rufeng is dead." The black-clad man kneeling on the ground answered in a low voice, his tone and expression very respectful.

"Oh...he's really lucky!" a deep male voice sighed slowly, a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone. He continued, "Where are the rest of them now? Wouldn't it have been better if they had all jumped? They're just an eyesore!"

"Reporting to Master, they still rushed to the Northern Garrison, supposedly to avenge Yuchi Rufeng. They thought those bandits who suddenly appeared were the work of the Black Stone Mountain people."

"Okay, you can go now."
