C10 Little Creek Village Establishing Its Prestige
Three days later, inside the Creek Village, many villagers were standing guard at the entrance of the village, wearing thick cotton jackets, as if they were waiting for someone to arrive.
"Zhang Laosan, tell me, why isn't the person here yet? This tiger rushed into the village to eat another person yesterday. If this continues, everyone will either move away or die here together."
"Don't worry, the village chief will go and pick up those men who have revealed the results. They should be back soon."
Even though Third Brother Zhang said so, the anxiety on his face was not any less than the man who had asked the question.
There were several forests surrounding the Creek Village that were rich in herbs. As a result, the small village became rich. However, they did not expect that a fierce tiger would appear from some unknown place a few days ago.
At first, the tiger was only active in the forest. However, ever since a few herbalists had died, no one dared to take half a step into the forest. The tiger that had its food cut off could only act on its own. It took advantage of the night to sneak into the village and eat people.
In order to protect itself, the villagers could only use all means to find people who could kill the tiger. For example, the person they were waiting for today was to expose the person they had stuck close to the county in search of the Roll of Heroes.
"It's coming! It's coming!"
When the village chief's cart appeared in their field of vision, the villagers at the village entrance became noisy.
At this time, other than the village chief sitting on the cart, there were four strong men beside him. All of them were over eight feet tall and had bulging muscles all over their bodies. They held Wolf Fangs, axes, and other weapons upside down. They looked very powerful.
"Everyone, quiet down! Everyone, quiet down! Let me introduce these four heroes..."
The village chief shouted a few times at the top of his voice to calm the villagers down. However, just as he was about to introduce these four men, he was interrupted.
"No need, I'll do it myself. My name is Wang Long, and these three are my brothers, Wang Hu. Wang Feng, Wang Yun, we are the legendary brothers, Longhu, Feng Yun. I heard that you guys are causing a ruckus here, so I came over. Where's the big bug? Where is it? "
Wang Long, who was speaking, was holding a mace thicker than an ordinary person's arm. When he opened his mouth, he did not even use much strength, but it was even louder than the village chief's voice.
Seeing how mighty he was, the village chief felt even happier in his heart. He did not bother about him snatching his lines and quickly said, "This big bug hid in the forest during the day, and a few heroes came from afar. Let's have lunch first before killing the tiger. "
"A mere tiger can be killed even if it's hungry. However, since you've already said so, we won't be too embarrassed to not appreciate it. Alright then, let's eat lunch first. "
Just as the villagers were about to welcome the Longhu, Fengyun, and Feng Yun brothers in, a crisp child's voice suddenly interrupted their discussion.
"Excuse me, is this the Creek Village?"
At this moment, the villagers realized that on the main road that the village chief had just walked on, a young man dressed in green had unknowingly walked over.
This young man looked to be in his teens. His eyes were clear and bright, and he was carrying a treasured sword on his back.
The villagers did not know where this young man came from, but they did not answer his question for a moment. The young man could only repeat, "I am Ye Zhifa, a disciple of the Zhehua Sword Palace. I heard that the Creek Village is trapped by the tiger disaster. I came here to help. May I ask if this is the Creek Village? "
"Yes, this is the Creek Village. May I ask, little one, oh, quite a number of chivalrous men, did the Zhehua Sword Palace send you alone? "
"That's right, I'm the only one here. Is there a problem?"
After hearing Ye Zhifa's answer, the village chief opened his mouth, but he couldn't bear to say it out loud. However, Wang Hu, who was beside him, wouldn't give Ye Zhifa any face.
"A little thing like you who hasn't fully grown its fur, you want to learn how to kill a tiger here? Go home and find your mother to eat milk for another two years!"
When he said this, his three brothers naturally laughed in unison, but Ye Zhifa also frowned.
"Sir, you have lived for so long. Has no one taught you the principle of keeping your mouth clean when you speak?"
"Yo, you have quite a big mouth at such a young age, I..."
Although the Zhehua Sword Palace had quite a reputation in the cultivation world, it stood too high and too far for Wang Hu and the others. They only knew that there was a sect called the Zhehua Sword Palace, but as for how powerful this sect was, they had no idea at all.
It was precisely the ignorant who were fearless. If they were also from a cultivation sect, even if they saw that Ye Zhifa was young, they would still save some face because of the Sword Palace's name. How could they say such dirty words like now?
Ye Zhifa couldn't take it anymore after hearing these two words. He lightly jumped up and gave Wang Long a slap. His actions were very decisive. Before Wang Long could react, he was hit on the face and two of his teeth were sent flying when he turned his head.
"It seems that you really haven't learned it. Let me teach you."
Ye Zhifa's slap did not make Wang Long confused, but Wang Long would not appreciate it.
"You actually dare to hit me! Brothers, beat him up!"
As Wang Long covered his cheek and roared, the other three strong men grabbed their weapons and surrounded Ye Zhifa.
Ye Zhifa had only slapped Wang Long because he was in a fit of rage. Now that he saw them attacking him from all sides, he, who lacked experience in the martial arts world, was a little afraid, so he decided to dodge first.
However, after just dodging a few times, Ye Zhifa had already seen through the depth of the four brothers.
Their legs were weak and their attacks were weak. Even though they had inner energy, they could only break through two or three levels at most. It was alright to fool the ignorant villagers, but it would be a joke to show off in front of Ye Zhifa.
If Ye Zhifa still needed to use his sword to deal with these useless things, it would be too much of a waste for Du Lin to pass the sword to him. He used his hand as a sword and rushed into the range of the few strong men's weapons. He quickly pointed at each of their ribs.
Ye Zhifa did not want to kill anyone. He deliberately held back his strength on his fingers. As expected, the three brothers fell to the ground with their middle fingers, moaning and groaning. They even whipped a few times after falling to the ground.
After the three of them fell to the ground, only Wang Long, who was still clutching his cheek, was left. Facing Ye Zhifa, who was walking over with a smile on his face, Wang Long felt that this wasn't a teenager, but a devil!
Seeing the devil getting closer and closer to him, Wang Long couldn't care less about the other three kings who were still lying on the ground. He let out a strange cry and ran away.
Ye Zhifa did not stop Wang Long. He just let Ye Zhifa run past him and ran away along the main road.
When Wang Long ran far away, Ye Zhifa could not help shaking his head and saying, "Coward bandits."
The villagers were also shocked when they saw Ye Zhifa so easily take care of Wang Long and the others. However, they thought that the more powerful Ye Zhifa was, the more likely he could kill the tiger. So they smiled and welcomed him.
They would not hit a smiling person. Moreover, these villagers did not show any underestimation of him. Ye Zhifa could only be polite to the village chief.
However, after saying a few words, Ye Zhifa heard a strange sound coming from the forest. It sounded like the roar of a tiger.
The villagers' hearing ability was naturally not comparable to Ye Zhifa's. When Ye Zhifa had paid attention to the sound in the forest, the village chief was still talking to Ye Zhifa.
Even though Ye Zhifa respected the elders, he knew that it was hard to find the trail of the fierce tiger. If he let the tiger escape now, it would be difficult to find it again. He quickly apologized and ran towards the forest where the sound came from.
