Lin Fan waved his sword, and the blood on the sword sprayed out like crimson flower buds. Then, he shouted forcefully, "Come at me if you're not afraid of death. I promise I won't go easy on you!"
The soldiers knew that they were no match for Lin Fan. After a moment of confrontation, no one dared to go up against him.
Lin Fan patted Jiang Yingxue's shoulder and said, "Go and rest. No one will dare to do anything to you anymore."
When Jiang Yingxue saw Lin Fan draw his sword and kill the soldiers for her, she was both surprised and grateful. She looked at Lin Fan with a gentle gaze.
Lin Fan released his striped beast to clean up the scene. After the striped beast came out, it roared angrily and swallowed the corpses of the soldiers into its stomach.
When the surrounding soldiers saw that Lin Fan actually fed the corpses of their own kind to his pet beast, they were both angry and scared. Especially when they saw the powerful striped beast, they were even more terrified.
After about half an hour, the group of soldiers that entered the village returned to the group.
This group of soldiers had more than 300 people. They were led into the village by a general. When they returned, they were carrying things in their hands. Wine, fruits, dry food, silk, tobacco …
It was obvious that these things had been stolen.
Behind them, there were two villagers. These two villagers were a middle-aged couple. They were ordinary villagers and had no cultivation. In front of the group of soldiers, they were too weak to stand up to a gust of wind. The couple kept begging the general, but the general ignored them.
Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat. If it was just for some dry food, the two villagers would not have chased after him and begged. This general must have taken something important from them.
Seeing this, Lin Fan walked in front of the general and asked, "What did you take from them?"
The general snorted and said, "I didn't take anything from you. Why do you care?"
Seeing this, the middle-aged couple fell to their knees in front of Lin Fan and cried, "General, please help us. We only have one daughter. She's only 16 years old. She, she's still young …"
Lin Fan immediately understood what was going on. He stared at the general and asked, "You stole his daughter?"
"Mind your own business!"
The general ignored Wang Xiao Qiang and laid out a cotton blanket on the ground. He then laid down on it and stretched out comfortably. He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
"Let him go, or I'll kill you!" Lin Fan threatened.
"You dare?
I am the nephew of Prince An. If you kill me, Prince An will not forgive you. "The general opened his eyes slightly and said fearlessly.
After saying this, he closed his eyes again. The three hundred or so soldiers who came back with him surrounded him and looked on coldly. Their faces were filled with contempt and amusement. Like the general, they didn't put Lin Fan in their eyes at all.
"Commander, please do us a favor and save our daughter. Without her, the two of us won't be able to live.
Wu wu … "The couple cried and wiped their tears as they kowtowed to Lin Fan. Their foreheads were bleeding.
Lin Fan was furious. He slapped the general's head. With a crack, the lightning in his palm exploded the general's head. Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere.
Everyone was shocked. No one thought that Lin Fan would suddenly make a move. No one thought that Lin Fan would dare to make a move on the nephew of Prince An. Moreover, it was so decisive and straightforward.
The general's soldiers drew their swords and surrounded Lin Fan. However, they didn't dare to make a move. They knew that the difference in strength between them and Lin Fan was too great. If they made a move, they would only die.
Lin Fan didn't care about them at all. He bent down and took off the general's storage ring. He put it in his left hand and condensed a layer of True Qi on his right hand. He wiped the storage ring and erased the Divine Sense imprint on it. Then, he cut his index finger and dripped a drop of blood on it. The sound of a door opening came from the ring.
After dripping his blood on it, Lin Fan shouted at the ring, "Come out."
Immediately, a lot of things fell from the ring. Wine jug, beef jerky, clothes, immortal sword, pills …
The last thing that fell was a girl. She looked delicate and pretty. Her face was still childish, but her body was well developed. Overall, she looked like an ordinary farmer's girl.
The farmer's girl was so scared that her face paled. She didn't even know how to cry.
Seeing the farmer's girl, the old couple kneeling on the ground immediately hugged her. They cried tears of joy and said, "My Yingzi, my Yingzi, you're back. If anything happened to you, we wouldn't be able to live."
Only when Yingzi was in her parents' arms did she regain her strength.
She cried loudly. It was the kind of cry that came from surviving a disaster.
After crying.
The three turned to Wang Xiao Qiang and kowtowed, thanking him profusely.
"Thank you, Commander!
Thank you, Commander! "
Lin Fan said, "Okay, you can get up. Take your daughter back."
The couple quickly got up and took their daughter back to the village.
Although the hundreds of soldiers didn't do anything to Lin Fan, there was still hostility in their eyes.
Lin Fan glanced at them coldly. Using force, he shouted in a booming voice, "Before we set up camp to rest, I made it clear that no one is allowed to disturb the people.
Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences. In the end, there were still people who didn't listen and disregarded the law. They didn't even put me in their eyes. If a tiger doesn't show its power, it will be treated as a sick cat … Now, I'm going to use their lives as a warning to others! "
As he spoke, he pointed at the more than three hundred soldiers. Lin Fan's eyes were filled with killing intent.
"You, you dare.
Brothers, fight it out with him! "
The group of soldiers who were disturbing the people saw that the situation was not good. They immediately cheered and tried to encourage all the soldiers to fight against Lin Fan.
"Fight it out?
What do you have to fight with me? Don't talk about a few hundred of you.
Even if twenty thousand people came together, they wouldn't be my opponent. "
Lin Fan said without hesitation. He took out the War God's Hammer and waved it at the three hundred soldiers.
With a boom, a wave of air exploded.
The three hundred soldiers were sent flying.
Their limbs were torn apart. Flesh and blood splattered.
They didn't even have time to cry out.
It was too cruel!
The situation in front of them made all the soldiers who were ready to move feel cold all over. They immediately dispelled the thought of resisting. Lin Fan was right. From his attack just now, it could be seen that he had the ability to kill all twenty thousand soldiers.
Although they were loyal and devoted to An Wang, they would not go against their own lives. After all, staying alive was the most important thing.
After getting rid of this group of soldiers who were disturbing the people, Lin Fan flew into the sky with his sword. His voice was like thunder, rumbling down:
"I know that you used to be An Guochu's soldiers. You trusted him very much. But now, you are my soldiers. I know that some of you are not convinced and have rebellious thoughts. But I still want to tell you, if you don't want to die, be obedient. You have been in the military for many years. I know that some of you are not afraid of death, but don't forget, you all have families. If you die, how will your families live?
… There is one more thing that I would like to clarify. Before the expedition, His Majesty had decreed that this expedition was to exterminate the demons. Those who sacrificed themselves in the war are heroes, but those who deliberately break the law will be regarded as traitors …
To deal with traitors, not only will they be killed, their families will be regarded as accomplices and will be imprisoned forever …
"Also, don't try to organize a rebellion. I know that you all have this mentality now, but it is useless. If one person rebels against me, I will kill one person. If twenty thousand people rebel against me, I will kill twenty thousand people. What I need to tell you is that I have obtained absolute support from His Majesty. Even if I kill all of you, His Majesty will not blame me …"
Before Lin Fan finished speaking, the people below were in an uproar. The soldiers were discussing and protesting. Obviously, they were extremely dissatisfied with this method.
If one person was guilty, the family should not be implicated.
Especially for the soldiers of the Empire. Since ancient times, there had never been such a severe punishment.
"You all think that this punishment is severe, right? Let me tell you, I have a punishment even worse than this. If you don't want to die, if you don't want anything to happen to your family, then be obedient!"
Lin Fan said in a tough tone, "Of course, there will be rewards. For those who are obedient, follow orders seriously, and kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield, there will be generous rewards. For this expedition, His Majesty will give out a hundred thousand high grade pills. These high grade pills are prepared to be rewarded to these people. Furthermore, those who perform well and have outstanding achievements will have the opportunity to be promoted …"
"Do you all want to lose your reputation and become a traitor and implicate your family, or do you all want to get promoted and become rich? It is all up to a single thought. I hope everyone will consider it carefully …"
The moment Lin Fan's words were done, there was no more sound from below.
All the soldiers were thinking in their hearts, hesitating, struggling …
They were ordinary soldiers, they were still young and did not want to die. They had families, old and young, and did not want their families to be implicated. Although Wang Xiao Qiang, this new master, was cruel and overbearing, they really had no choice but to listen to him.
"Alright, let's continue on our way." Lin Fan instructed.
The soldiers flew up one after another, forming a formation and flying forward. This time, no one was left behind, and no one left on their own.
Lin Fan brought Cheng Jin and the twenty elite disciples followed behind.
Lin Fan's actions made them admire him. Jiang Yingxue gave Lin Fan a thumbs up, "Commander, you really have a way!"
"Hehe, what's the big deal?
If it were you, you would have a way too. "Lin Fan said modestly.
However, Cheng Jin said, "It's easy to kill someone, but difficult to control someone. It's not easy to make someone who dislikes you submit to you, not to mention twenty thousand people … Commander, you have the demeanor of a great general!"
Lin Fan said. "F * ck, you're simply spouting nonsense. Without the demeanor of a great general, how can you be a commander?"
Flying at an altitude of ten thousand meters at night, the surroundings were pitch black and the scenery could not be seen. They could only use their divine sense to explore the way.
In the team, Lin Fan's divine sense was the strongest. His current divine sense was comparable to his primordial spirit, and when he released it, it could cover a radius of three thousand miles.
While they were traveling, suddenly, Lin Fan felt a few strange energy fluctuations in front of him.
He had never seen this kind of energy fluctuation before. It was neither a Genuine Qi fluctuation, nor a Demonic Qi fluctuation, nor a corpse aura fluctuation. This was a strange kind of energy fluctuation …
Lin Fan's heart trembled. Hmm, could it be a Devil Cultivator?
