The Counterattack of the Villains

Jeju Prefecture is only 150 miles away from Yangshan, and the team arrived there in just two days.

Liangshan is surrounded by water and has vast water berths. There is no way out except by boat. It is a typical terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The water is vast and swaying as far as the eye can see, and there are large reeds everywhere, which can easily hide thousands of boats and thousands of troops.

In addition, there are thousands of branches in the inner harbor of the water park, and the waterways are complicated. Those who are not familiar with the terrain will have to go back and forth if they want to suppress the bandits.

Most of the village soldiers in Jeju Prefecture are residents of nearby counties and towns, and they have a certain understanding of Yangshan River.

The reason why each time the bandits were suppressed without success was because the enemy was hidden and we were exposed. The Liangshan bandits were accustomed to hiding in the reeds everywhere and setting up ambushes.

When the officers and soldiers' boats were passing by, they suddenly rushed out and caught the officers and soldiers by surprise.

The two Liangshan thieves were proficient in water and could dive into the water and capsize the boats of the officers and soldiers.

The last and most important reason is that rural soldiers have no such thing as a will to fight.

Often the bandits, just as they were shouting to fight out, would be so flustered by the sudden attack that they would be defeated.

This time the situation was quite different. After the village soldiers prepared the canoe, Li Mu and his party took the boat ahead, taking only one of the village soldiers who was most familiar with the water environment to guide them.

Two hundred country soldiers were divided into twenty-five boats, following them ten feet away.

If this light boat is fully loaded, each boat can carry twelve or three people, but in order for the soldiers to be able to carry out their duties, each boat usually carries eight people, two people rowing, and six people guarding.

Li Mu's boat was rowed by the Xu family brothers. Li Mu stood alone on the bow of the boat, with a long sword hanging from his waist. He was neatly dressed in a green shirt, looking extremely handsome and elegant.

Ruan Xiong and Ruan Xingzhu, father and daughter, each held horizontal swords and long swords, and carefully looked at the passing reeds.

After traveling peacefully for more than half an hour, the boat had already covered a distance of more than ten miles.

Ahead is a vast reed marsh. Among the reed marshes, there are waterways only a few feet wide, with branches crisscrossing the harbor.

This kind of terrain in the water is no different from the terrain on land, and it is most vulnerable to ambushes.

The soldier who was guiding the road nervously said: "Master Li, the reed swamp ahead is the most vulnerable place for ambush. We have been attacked here several times when we entered the water to suppress bandits."

Li Mu nodded silently, and when he was less than ten feet away from the reed swamp, his eyes suddenly focused.

He turned his head slightly and said to the people on the boat: "Sister Zhu, father-in-law, uncle and uncle, please be careful."

After saying this, he jumped up from the bow of the ship and flew towards the reed swamp. While he was still in the air, the long sword at his waist was unsheathed with a clang.

"Shuashuashua..."

Li Mu swung his long sword at several reed bushes, and saw the reeds snapping out of thin air, with blood splattering everywhere.

The sword energy is invisible and colorless, completely invisible to the naked eye. It is not like in movies and TV shows, where beams of light and blades of various colors fly around like laser guns.

The colored one is the sword light. Only people with internal strength can sense invisible sword energy. Ordinary people are more difficult to avoid when facing sword energy than when facing firearms.

"Ahhhh..."

There were continuous screams in the reed marsh. It turned out that Li Mu had just gathered his ears and clearly heard that there were a large number of people hiding in the reed marsh.

So he took action boldly and struck first to gain advantage.

Seeing this scene, the Xu brothers quickly rowed their oars backwards and stopped the boat six or seven feet away in the reed swamp.

The people leading the country soldiers in the rear saw this and quickly ordered the ships to be stopped.

Ruan Xiong and Ruan Xingzhu each drew out their horizontal swords and looked warily in the direction of the reed swamp.

Li Mu's toes kept tapping on the top of the reed to gain strength, and his body moved back and forth, as light as a feather.

As he wielded his sword energy, he killed the Liangshan bandits who were hiding in the reed swamps one by one.

The sound of splashing into the water was endless. Some were killed by sword energy and fell into the water, while others jumped into the water to avoid disaster.

Li Mu's control over sword energy was extremely good. The sword energy he used only killed bandits and did not damage the boat at all.

After all, these are their spoils of war. If they establish a sect in Liangshan in the future, they will need a lot of ships to go in and out.

Spending money to hire someone to build it yourself not only consumes time, but also costs a lot of money. You can save a fortune.

The reason why Li Mu dared to wield his sword energy like this was because of the powerful Qi recovery speed of the Nine Yang Divine Art.

Although the method of sword energy consumes a lot of internal energy, with his current deep internal energy, he can still afford this consumption.

The soldier who was guiding the way suddenly said anxiously: "Be careful underwater, there are bandits diving over."

When Li Mu heard this, he immediately turned over in mid-air and turned back.

He folded his sword in his left hand, observed briefly, and then slapped a palm towards a water surface.

Li Mu didn't know the power of splitting the air palm, so the reason why he chose to use the palm was naturally to cover up the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

When he moved his palm, his thumb pointed in the direction of the target, and the powerful Shaoshang Sword Qi flew out.

"Boom... bang..."

The sword energy fell on the water, causing a splash of water like a bomb exploding.

Although it did not directly hit the bandit underwater, the loud explosion shocked the bandit's eardrums underwater and made his brain dizzy.

Those who were closer to the explosion point were even knocked unconscious directly.

If you pass out underwater, the outcome is basically doomed.

The propagation efficiency of sound in water is four to five times that in air, so the blast sound is even more deafening in water.

"Boom boom boom..."

Li Mu repeatedly struck out with his palms, causing water jets to explode on the surface of the water. Soon, the thieves, shirtless and wearing only pants, floated up one after another.

This fighting method is like frying fish, and the thieves who float up have blood oozing from their ears.

Li Mu's quick actions stunned the soldiers.

In their entire lives, have they ever seen such extraordinary and holy martial arts?

At this moment, Li Mu's image was like a god in their eyes.

"The wind is tight and the wind blows."

A heart-breaking shout sounded from deep in the reed marsh, and the reeds shook violently.

However, after losing thirty or forty people in an instant, the Liangshan bandits finally could not withstand the pressure and began to evacuate.

Li Mu returned to the bow of the boat and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him: "I will take the first step to stop the bandits. Please follow up as soon as possible. A alive bandit is worth more than a dead bandit."

After saying that, he took another breath of vitality, jumped up again, and swept forward on the tips of the reeds.

Both of them had their heads pounded as if they had been given blood. They pulled out their sabers and swung them forward, shouting: "Go at full speed, fast."

The two brothers of the Xu family also rowed the canoe with all their strength, and moved forward quickly along the waterway beside the reeds that Li Mu had just passed.

There is no doubt that the place Li Mu passed by was absolutely safe.

The speed of the country soldiers' boat also increased greatly. In addition to the two country soldiers holding oars who rowed hard, those holding spears also used spear poles to paddle the water.

With Hero Li opening the way, they couldn't call it a smooth battle. They were just trying to gain credit for nothing, so naturally they all took the lead.

There was a bandit in the water who was stunned by Li Mu's Shao Shang sword energy but did not die on the spot. He was also put on the boat by the local soldiers and guarded.

As Li Mu said, live thieves are worth more than dead ones, and capturing one alive is more rewarding than killing one.

"Those who try to escape will die."

"Boom boom boom..."

Before Ruan Xiong and the other soldiers came out of the reed swamp, they heard a loud shout that shook all directions.

A series of explosions followed, followed by a long silence.

When Ruan Xiong and others, together with other soldiers from the countryside, finally passed through several miles of reed swamps and arrived at a relatively empty water area, they saw a spectacular scene.

More than twenty small boats were crowded together, and hundreds of bandits were kneeling on the boats. No one dared to move, and no one jumped into the water to escape.

Because the twenty-odd corpses floating on the water near those boats, staining the water red, were a good indication of the fate of those who tried to escape.

Three feet away in front of the twenty or so ships, another ship floated quietly. Li Mu stood on the bow of the ship, his left hand behind his back, and his right hand holding a long sword, pointing diagonally at the water.
