The bandits around also turned pale one after another, immediately looking up to the front.

At the very front area.

A gaunt young man, riding a pure black horse without a single stray hair, his face calm, was swaying as he walked towards the area.

The One-Eyed Dragon gasped for air, suppressing his shock, and said, "You... was it you who made a move?"

"Yes, weren't you robbing? I just happened to drop by to join the fun."

Jiang Shi spoke.

"You... you're also interested in this small town? Fine, good sir, if you like it, this small town is yours, we'll withdraw!"

The One-Eyed Dragon shouted decisively, immediately urging his steed to retreat, preparing to lead his brothers away swiftly.

He could instantly discern the huge gap between the two parties.

The young man was truly strange.

A single pebble could cause his palm to bleed; even if two of him were tied together, they surely wouldn't be a match.

"Wait, I'm not here to rob this town, I'm here to rob you!"

Jiang Shi spoke, continuing to approach.

"Rob us?"

The One-Eyed Dragon's face turned green instantly.

Where did this man come from?

Didn't he know they were from the Black Cloud Mountain?

"Yes, it's you I want to rob."

Jiang Shi responded, continuing to walk forward.

"Courting death, kid, you really must be a reckless old daredevil seeking death yourself."

The One-Eyed Dragon sneered angrily.

He had already given face, started to show weakness.

This kid did not appreciate it.

"Yes, today I'm really looking for death, so I earnestly ask you all to fulfill my wish."

Jiang Shi spoke, already three meters in front of them.

"Damn it, get him, hurry up, take him down together!"

The One-Eyed Dragon shouted angrily, immediately calling the bandits to swarm forward.

In his imagination, even if Jiang Shi was stronger than himself, how strong could he be? He didn't believe he could be a Martial Saint, right?

There were so few Martial Saints in the world, how could he possibly run into one?

The bandits angrily shouted in unison, urging their steeds forward, wielding various weapons and charging at Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi smiled slightly, his wolf fang club suddenly sweeping out.

Boom!

With a single sweep, sand and stones flew, a horrifying stream of air billowed in the atmosphere.

A large group of bandits got swept away, crashing into other bandits, a crunching sound echoing, spraying blood, flying in all directions.

In the collision, over ten people died tragically in one move.

The remaining bandits' expressions changed, quickly pulling their steeds to a halt, their scalps tingling, looking at Jiang Shi as if he were a monster.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

The bandits screamed in terror, turned, and fled.

The One-Eyed Dragon, even more terrified, was the first to flee into the distance.

However, Jiang Shi had already urged his steed in hot pursuit, a broad smile on his face, seemingly intentionally wanting to capture this man alive. With a light grasp, he caught the horse's tail and gently swung it.

The steed emitted a mournful neigh, its entire body lifted up by Jiang Shi.

Along with it, the One-Eyed Dragon, mounted on the steed, was lifted high into the air.

The One-Eyed Dragon, his face full of terror, suspended in mid-air, yet reacted quickly, suddenly releasing the reins, his body soaring high, throwing out a series of hidden weapons at Jiang Shi's body.

But just as these hidden weapons were thrown, Jiang Shi's hand had already unknowingly grabbed his foot, casually spinning him around as if his plump body were just a toy, turning him into a circle.

"Ah!"

The One-Eyed Dragon screamed in panic, struggling desperately, but to no avail, being swung several dozen times in Jiang Shi's hands before being gently tossed to the ground with a thud, causing the entire ground to shake slightly.

The One-Eyed Dragon's body went limp, utterly terrified, dizzy from the spinning, his mind in a whirl.

"Still want to run?"

Jiang Shi smiled as he walked over, looking down at the One-Eyed Dragon from his war horse.

The One-Eyed Dragon came to his senses immediately, quickly scrambling back up, but due to being excessively dizzy, almost fell again as he stood.

He showed fear, knowing there was no way of escaping from the other's hands, immediately kneeling down, wailing, "Spare me, good sir, spare me, please, what do you want? Just tell me!"

"Robbing you!"

Jiang Shi replied calmly, continuing.

"I..."

The One-Eyed Dragon was speechless for a moment, then quickly turned around and shouted angrily, "Quick, quickly take out all the money you have on you!"

"I don't want money. I want your mountain, your armory, take me to your main stronghold!"

Jiang Shi spoke calmly.

The One-Eyed Dragon's face was full of shock, eyes wide open: "You want to go to our main stronghold?"

"Yes!"

Jiang Shi spoke plainly.

The One-Eyed Dragon's mind quickly started spinning.

Does this man have some backing, or is he simply a complete madman?

Does he really dare to storm even our Black Cloud Mountain main stronghold?

Within the main stronghold, there are the four great Village Chiefs, three of whom are Half-Step Martial Saints, and the head Great Village Chief is truly a Martial Saint, known as the strongest bandit within tens of thousands of miles.

"Fine, since you're courting death, I'll fulfill your wish!"

The One-Eyed Dragon thought to himself and quickly said, "In that case, I'm willing to lead the way."

Jiang Shi revealed a slight smile, said nothing, and gently carried the Wolf Fang Club on his shoulder.

···

Half an hour later.

Deep within Black Cloud Mountain.

Jiang Shi was already led over by a group of bandits.

Gazing at the massive village built precariously mid-mountain and surrounded by rows of fences, Jiang Shi couldn't help but marvel.

So this is a bandit's lair?

In this life and the past life, besides seeing it in TV dramas, this was his first time experiencing it personally.

As he continued to take it all in, preparing to move forward, suddenly, the sound of an explosion rang out, and shouts of battle roared from all directions.

One by one, bandits wielding broadswords and long spears, fierce and evil-looking with sturdy builds, rushed in from all sides, their numbers unclear in the overwhelming mass.

They immediately surrounded Jiang Shi so tightly he couldn't move a step.

At the forefront, four tall figures appeared, each with an icy expression and steady aura, glaring coldly at Jiang Shi.

Apart from the leader, dressed in a white robe, appearing somewhat scholarly.

The other three looked fierce, with rough bodies, holding different weapons: Copper Hammer, Copper Mace, and Great Ring Saber.

"Interesting."

Jiang Shi's face immediately displayed a broad smile, turned to glance at the One-Eyed Dragon beside him, and said, "When did you send the signal to the mountain? I know, it was when we entered the mountain, you randomly slashed that cut on the branch, right? That cut was a signal, seen by someone hidden, wasn't it?"

The One-Eyed Dragon's face turned to shock and anger, quickly leaping away from Jiang Shi to land in the distance, shouting loudly, "Four Village Chiefs, this brat is clueless, daring to ruin our plans and even threatening to seize our Black Cloud Stronghold, forced me to bring him here. I ask the Four Village Chiefs to capture him!"

"Courting death!"

"Where does this little monkey come from!"

"Insolent beyond measure!"

"Rip out his heart and lungs, make them into a pot of sobering soup!"

The surrounding many small bandits first shouted fiercely, chaotic aura oppressing the heart.

"Young man, who are you? Could it be you're also here to join us?"

The white-robed middle-aged man leading them coldly spoke, watching Jiang Shi.

He was the famously formidable Great Village Chief of Black Cloud Stronghold, named Gongsun Yi, who seven or eight years ago, single-handedly stormed into Black Cloud Stronghold, killed the original Great Village Chief, and thus took the top seat.

Is the person before him attempting to imitate him?

"No, to be honest, I'm here to seize from you all, of course, if I can become your Great Village Chief, that would be ideal."

Jiang Shi replied calmly, still sitting steadily on horseback.

"Courting death!"

The hammer-wielding man beside Gongsun Yi spoke with icy tone, "This brat doesn't know about Lord Ma's three eyes, Eldest Master, let me try him first!"

He sprang with his body, picking up two Copper Hammers, rushing towards Jiang Shi at high speed, fast as an afterimage.

With the cultivation of a Half-Step Martial Saint, he was filled with immense confidence and courage.

Throughout Hengzhou, he could roam as he pleased.

Even if this youth started cultivation from his mother's womb, he couldn't match his level.

Yet!

Boom!

A muffled sound, a wave in the air erupted, deafeningly loud.

The Third-in-Command, who had just charged forward, immediately flew back harder at higher speed, crashing into a large rock over a dozen meters away.

With a splat, blood spattered, broken bones flew, he tragically died an untimely death.

"Enough, stop wasting time, now I announce, you are all seized!"

Jiang Shi spoke.
