Moonlight and wind

Chapter 233 Enemy or friend?

"It's so hard to have a good sleep!" Shan Zimo sat up reluctantly and looked out through the gap in the window, imitating Shan Boyu.

Aman tiptoed and placed a log against the door, signaling the two to keep quiet.

Soon, a lot of people seemed to gather at the entrance of the village, and then wailing sounds were heard.

"What's going on?" Shan Zimo asked Aman softly.

A'man closed his mouth to indicate that he should not make any sound, so Shan Zimo had to give up.

After an incense stick of time, the sounds from the village disappeared, and the shadows of people in the moonlight gradually dispersed through the gap. Only then did Aman breathe a sigh of relief and sit down against the door.

"The person has left," Aman still didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear that the terrifying guy would turn around and attack him at any time.

"Who is this person?" Shan Zimo leaned closer to the door. "Why are the people in the village so afraid of him?"

"Alas," A'man sighed, "Pan Hu is a bully in the village. He is a ruthless man who kills and robs people. I heard that the bounty for his death alone is as much as ten thousand taels."

"I guess this person must be someone with great martial arts skills." Shan Boyu guessed.

"As a woman, I don't really understand the level of martial arts, but I heard from the villagers that he is at least at the King of Martial Arts level," A'man looked outside again, and after making sure that there was no one around, he got up and sat back on his bed.

"What is he doing in the village in the middle of the night?" Shan Zimo asked curiously.

"What else can I do?" A'man sighed. "I'm here to collect money. And rob the passers-by who are staying here."

After these words were spoken, Shan Zimo and Shan Boyu had to become alert.

"Why didn't he come to your house?" Shan Boyu asked.

"You saw it too," A'man seemed much more relieved. "My house is poor, what else can he steal?" A'man smiled bitterly and said no more.

"No wonder the villagers here didn't take us in for the night. We just thought they were indifferent. It turns out they wanted to save us!" Only then did Shan Zimo and the others suddenly realize.

"Okay, you can rest in peace this time." A'man comforted her and lay down.

Shan Zimo and Shan Boyu also lay down on the straw one after another, staring at the straw-covered roof with their eyes open, not daring to fall asleep for a long time.

Sure enough, the sound of swords clashing suddenly rang out in the village!

Shan Zimo and Shan Boyu simply gave up sleeping and sat upright in front of the window, opening it a crack, hoping to see more clearly.

Under the moonlight, a familiar figure appeared.

"Master, look," Shan Boyu pointed at a figure dancing with a sword and said, "Does it look familiar?"

"This outfit is quite unfamiliar. If it was a black robe, I would probably think it was Dao Sheng chasing after me again." Shan Zimo watched the fight nonchalantly, but when he saw the bamboo hat on the back of the figure who turned around, he slapped his thigh and said, "It's really her!"

"Why are they fighting again?" Shan Boyu patted his head, "It's the duty of a bounty hunter!"

Shan Zimo opened all the windows and leaned against the window frame, watching the battle with great interest.

"Young master, be careful not to be discovered!" A'man reminded softly.

"It's okay, we're old acquaintances!" Shan Zimo said with a smile.

"Young Master, after not seeing you for one night, Dao Sheng's fighting skills have declined a lot!" Shan Boyu held his chin and watched the fight carefully.

"We have never fought with her, how do you know that her military strength has declined?" Shan Zimo looked at him with ill intent.

"Look at her steps, they are obviously very unsteady and she is already at a disadvantage!" Shan Boyu stood up anxiously.

"What? You still want to help?" Shan Zimo looked at him with a smile, "Don't forget, she hung us on the tree last night!"

"We can't just watch her get defeated by the evil guy!" Shan Boyu pointed at Dao Sheng who had been knocked down in the distance.

"If she wants to send me to the government office, you will go to jail with me!" Although Shan Zimo said this, he had already jumped out of the window and ran towards Dao Sheng.

A'man was so scared that he curled up in a corner, not daring to move. "Who are you?"

"Don't be afraid, sister. We are just passers-by and happened to meet an acquaintance." Seeing that he couldn't explain clearly, Shan Boyu quickly picked up his bag and chased after him.

Dao Sheng used his sword to support his body, barely keeping himself from falling. The blood flowing from the corner of his mouth had soaked the front of his shirt.

When she saw clearly that the person running towards her was Shan Zimo, she suddenly sneered, "Am I going to die here tonight?"

Pan Hu, holding two axes, spat on the ground, "You little girl, you brought helpers now?" Pan Hu glanced at Shan Zimo, "Why? You just found a beggar like this to die together?"

"Don't get me wrong," Shan Zimo waved his hand, "I am also the target of her pursuit!" Then he put his hands behind his head and watched the fun.

“Pan Hu!” Dao Sheng stood up straight. Her injured leg was shaking constantly under her robe. “I let you escape the first two times, but that was your luck. Today I will definitely bring you to justice!”

"Bring him to justice?" Pan Hu sneered. "You are from the government? When did you start investigating cases? You are just catching petty thieves to make a living, but do you really think you are such a big shot? I call you a bounty hunter, and you are still gasping for breath!"

"Eradication of evildoers is the meaning of my existence!" As soon as he finished speaking, Dao Sheng appeared in front of Pan Hu, and chopped towards Pan Hu's face with the big knife wrapped in sword energy.

"Hmph! Such a petty trick!" Pan Hu raised his axe, which was filled with his true energy, with disdain and chopped at Dao Sheng's sword. The harsh sound of the collision resounded throughout the quiet little village.

Dao Sheng used all her strength and ignited her internal force. The tremendous power gathered on her sword. She pushed away the mountain-splitting axe that was suppressing her and swung the sword towards Pan Hu's abdomen.

"Is this your limit?" Pan Hu seemed not afraid at all. He crossed his two axes in front of his chest and locked Dao Sheng's sword in them!

"Brother!" Pan Hu suddenly looked at Shan Zimo, "This is a good opportunity to kill this woman! Go ahead!"

Dao Sheng was held tightly, unable to move. She glanced at Shan Zimo who was standing beside her, and her eyes were so cold that they made people shudder.

"Since Brother Pan has said so, I would rather obey your command respectfully!" Shan Zimo appeared beside Pan Hu, and his extremely fast speed made Pan Hu unable to react. "What do you want to do?" Shan Zimo asked Pan Hu with a smile while looking at Dao Sheng.

"Brother, what's your strength? Your speed is pretty good!" Pan Hu looked at the beagle-like fugitive with approval.

"Dan Zimo!" Dao Sheng said viciously, "I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"

"You are Shan Zimo?" Pan Hu was very surprised. "You are the eldest young master of the Snow Shadow Hall of the Northern Kingdom! Yes!" Pan Hu suddenly realized, "Young Master Shan is also wanted by a bounty order! Now you and I are in the same boat!"

"It's really a great honor!" Before he finished speaking, Shan Zimo's golden Qi state appeared, and he crossed his hands to grab Pan Hu's hands. The extremely powerful force almost broke Pan Hu's hands!

With two clangs, Pan Hu's two axes fell to the ground!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dao Sheng jumped backwards and thus escaped the danger!

"Master Shan, what does this mean?" Pan Hu's hands were still shaking. "Could it be that you and this woman are really in cahoots?"

"To die or to live?" Shan Zimo looked at Dao Sheng behind him with an evil smile.
