The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 335: Sword Shadow

Outside the mountain stronghold, the sound of fighting rolled in like thunder, like a surging tide constantly hitting the barriers of this sinful place. Lin Ruoxue and Xiaoxuan hugged each other tightly, staring at the closed wooden door of the woodshed, their hearts beating violently in their chests, as if they were about to burst through their chests.

"Xiaoxuan, don't be afraid, maybe we can be saved." Lin Ruoxue comforted her softly, but her voice was also shaking. Xiaoxuan nodded slightly, her eyes full of a complex look of fear and expectation.

At this moment, a black shadow broke through the entrance of the mountain stronghold like lightning. Bai Zixuan was wearing a tight black suit, which seemed to blend into the darkness, but his rapid movements outlined his agile figure. He held a cold and sharp sword, and the gem inlaid on the hilt flashed a mysterious light in the weak light. His eyes were like torches, cold and resolute, and his face was as firm as a knife and an axe.

The moment Bai Zixuan rushed into the mountain stronghold, a strong wind blew up, causing the fallen leaves and dust on the ground to fly. The bandits were startled by this sudden intruder and turned their heads, stunned for a moment.

The bandit leader stood in the middle of the crowd. He was startled at first, then anger and ferocity surged on his face. He widened his eyes and roared viciously: "Who are you? How dare you break into my stronghold!" As he spoke, he slammed the heavy sword in his hand into the ground with force. The sword penetrated three inches into the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust.

Bai Zixuan stopped, turned slightly, stared at the bandit leader with cold eyes, raised the long sword in his hand slightly, pointed the tip of the sword at the bandit leader, and said in a cold voice: "Release the two young medical girls you captured today, otherwise you will never leave here alive." As he spoke, he tapped the ground lightly, and his figure slid forward a short distance like a ghost. The long sword in his hand swung a beautiful sword flower, flashing cold light, intimidating everyone.

The bandit leader was furious, the muscles on his face twisted with anger. He grabbed the handle of his sword with both hands, pulled the sword out of the ground, raised it high, and roared at his men: "What a big mouth! Brothers, come on! Chop this fool into meat sauce!"

When the bandits heard the order, they all waved their various weapons, shouted fierce slogans, and rushed towards Bai Zixuan. For a moment, the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Bai Zixuan stood there, motionless, his eyes calm and focused. When the first bandit rushed in front of him and raised his rusty iron axe to chop him, he dodged the attack like a ghost, and at the same time, he pulled his left leg back, bent his right leg slightly, and swung the long sword in his hand upwards. A flash of cold light passed, and a deep cut was made on the bandit's arm. Blood gushed out, and the bandit fell to the ground screaming.

His swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and every thrust of his sword was accompanied by a whirring sound. Several more bandits attacked from different directions, and Bai Zixuan leaped into the air, quickly crossed his legs, and spun his body rapidly, then swooped down like a hawk swooping down on a rabbit. The long sword in his hand spun rapidly, forming a silver halo. The bandits' weapons hit the halo and were bounced off one after another, and then Bai Zixuan's sword stabbed the bandits' vital points like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole. The bandits fell to the ground one after another, and groans of pain came one after another.

Lin Ruoxue and Xiaoxuan watched the scene nervously through the cracks in the woodshed window. Xiaoxuan covered her eyes nervously, but couldn't help peeking through her fingers. Lin Ruoxue bit her lips tightly, silently praying for Bai Zixuan in her heart. Her palms were full of sweat, and she stared at the battle outside without blinking.

"Master, can he defeat the bandits?" Xiaoxuan asked worriedly.

"Yes, he can do it." Although Lin Ruoxue was worried, she still answered firmly.

Bai Zixuan moved freely among the bandits, his black figure like an insurmountable barrier. His sword skills became faster and faster, and the shadows of his swords flickered in the sun, as if they had woven an airtight net that enveloped the bandits. Although the bandits were numerous, they gradually fell into chaos and fear under Bai Zixuan's fierce attack. They began to retreat step by step, but Bai Zixuan became more and more courageous, like an invincible god of war, approaching the bandit leader step by step.

Bai Zixuan rushed into the encirclement of the bandits like a black lightning. His eyes were firm and blazing, and he had only one belief in his heart: to rescue Lin Ruoxue and Xiaoxuan. He knew that he was facing a group of extremely vicious criminals, but for the sake of the people he cherished, he was not afraid.

"These bandits are doing evil things, we must not let them succeed today." Bai Zixuan thought secretly in his heart, his eyes revealed determination. He was as swift as a swallow, and with a light jump, he avoided several spears stabbing from the front. He flipped in the air, and the corners of his black clothes fluttered in the wind, like a nimble black eagle. The moment he landed, he knelt on one knee, and the long sword in his hand swept across the ground, splashing a string of sparks, and swept towards the ankles of the surrounding bandits. The bandits screamed and jumped away, but a few still failed to dodge and were tripped to the ground.

A bandit swung a broadsword from the side, the wind from the sword whistling. Bai Zixuan was not in a hurry, he leaned back almost parallel to the ground, and the broadsword just passed over the tip of his nose. "There can be no mistakes, we must fight quickly and decisively." He reminded himself in his heart, while keenly observing the movements of the bandits around him. Then, he supported himself with his left hand, stabbed upward with his right hand, and the long sword accurately pierced the bandit's thigh. The bandit screamed, and the broadsword slipped out of his hand. Bai Zixuan used the force to stand up, kicked the injured bandit away, and at the same time swung his sword to block several hidden arrows shot from behind.

He shuttled quickly among the crowd, his steps light and flexible. Sometimes he twisted his body like a snake to avoid the attacks of the bandits; sometimes he exerted force like a tiger, and his sword came out like a dragon. Every time he swung the sword, it brought a cold light, as if it could cut through the air. He turned his wrist, the sword flower flashed, sometimes stabbing at the throat of the bandits, and sometimes picking up their weapons. "I want to end this battle as soon as possible, Miss Lin and Xiaoxuan are still waiting for me." Bai Zixuan was anxious, but his movements were steady and sharp.

Another group of bandits surrounded him, and they tried to trap Bai Zixuan with a human wave tactic. However, Bai Zixuan raised his lips slightly, revealing a disdainful smile. He poured his inner strength into the sword, and the long sword made a buzzing sound. "Come on, you bunch of villains." He roared in his heart. He suddenly rushed into the crowd, spinning like a whirlwind, and the sword shadow formed an airtight circle. The weapons of the bandits collided with his sword, and they were blown away one after another. The bandits who were close to him were scratched by the sword wind, and they fell to the ground wailing.

The bandit leader was watching with bloodshot eyes. He personally joined the battle, wielding a heavy mace. The mace hit Bai Zixuan with a whirring sound. Bai Zixuan lightly tapped his toes and jumped back several feet. "This guy is a bit tricky, but I can't retreat." Bai Zixuan was thinking about how to deal with it while keeping a close eye on the bandit leader's movements. The bandit leader chased him relentlessly, but Bai Zixuan suddenly stopped and planted his feet firmly on the ground, like a towering ancient pine tree. When the mace got close to him, he dodged to the side and at the same time, his long sword cut along the shaft of the mace. The bandit leader was startled and quickly withdrew his hand, but a few strands of hair were still cut off.

Bai Zixuan did not give the bandit leader a chance to breathe. He approached like a ghost, and stabbed the bandit leader with his long sword like raindrops. The bandit leader could only wave his mace to resist in panic, but Bai Zixuan's sword skills were too fast and too dense, and he gradually couldn't parry. Bai Zixuan saw the right moment, and with a feint, he dodged the bandit leader, then turned around and kicked him in the back. The bandit leader rushed forward, and Bai Zixuan's sword instantly touched the back of his neck. At this time, the bandits around were shocked by Bai Zixuan's bravery and dared not take another step forward. Bai Zixuan stood proudly with a long sword in his hand, and the stone in his heart was slightly relieved: "It's finally almost over, I must take them away safely." On the entire battlefield, there were only the heavy breathing of the bandits and the groans of the wounded.
