Chapter 253 Soul-taking with One Sword – Feng Xueyi

Ding Hao didn’t know why every time when he saw that little girl, he couldn’t help but remember his missing sister Ding Ke’er. He felt that he had a special relationship with her. Before leaving Peaceful City, Ding Hao specially bought several suits of clothes for the little girl. At this time the light blue cotton-padded skirt that Gao Xue’er was wearing was one of them. The little girl, after washing away all her body stains was like a cute little angel.

“Dad and grandfather asked me to come to Elder Brother Qicheng to go for breakfast.” The little girl looked at Ding Hao with a deep worship in her eyes.

Guided by Gao Xue’er, Ding Hao went out of the stone building. Along the bluestone trail in the village, Ding Hao stepped on last night’s snow and went to Gao Feng’s house.

“The chivalrous hero has arrived, come in, please!” Gao Feng, the village chief, Gao Lin, the elder and other people standing in the village had waited for Ding Hao at the gate.

Ding Hao smiled as he walked. He said, “All uncles, don’t bother, please. Just call me Qicheng.” He changed into With One Sword to Begin Journey. During this period of time, he considered himself to be Qicheng.

People took seats after coming into the house, and very soon various types of hot food was served.

The food served before Ding Hao was rich, although placed in crude chinaware. Most food was cooked meat with simple cooking skills. It was a legendary style that in the bandit village, eating and drinking were carried out in large mouthfuls.

Glancing at the food, Ding Hao found that the food placed before other people was little. All food added up was less than one-tenth of the food for him, and most of it was soup and wild vegetables. Thinking about it for a little while, Ding Hao came to know why.

At this time, the food in the village was very scarce, otherwise Gao Feng as the village chief would not have a famished look.

“I can’t not enjoy the whole village’s share of food.” Ding Hao waved his hand; the Mysterious Qi gushed out and the food before him was divided into ten parts, then served before everyone. One small part was left for himself, then he said, “Let’s eat together.”

“This...” Gao Lin said while touching the snow-white beard, “How could you Qicheng, the chivalrous hero, not eat the meat as a cultivating person? In the future, the Valley Village’s safety would depend on you, the chivalrous hero. It doesn’t matter whether we go hungry or not. We must guarantee three dishes for you every day.”

“Yes. Qicheng, chivalrous hero. This is our intention,” Gao Feng, the village chief and others said.

“It’s ok. As the food issue, I have my own way to address the problem. We must be thrifty.” Ding Hao took a bite of the old meat that was slightly dry before him and said: “Now what we need to pay more attention to, in fact, is the continued threat of the Blood Dragon Village. Although the bald one and his fellows have been captured by us, the Blood Dragon Village will trace the matter to us when they get the news. Once discovering the truth, I am afraid that Valley Village will face a bloody revenge.”

Ding Hao finished his words; his eyes swept across all people’s faces and observed their reactions.

Except for a few people who showed expressions of being slightly scared, most people’s eyes were filled with burning flames of anger.

That kind of reaction made Ding Hao secretly satisfied.

People had anger, indicating that they had a rebellious intention. If they had always been scared and flinching blindly, then, even if he blessed Valley Village that winter, one day the village would be unable to escape the fate of being abused by external forces.

“With Brother Qicheng’s help, we can fight them with high walls and big logs!”

“Yeah. From last night I have already ordered the villagers to strengthen the wall and fill it with ice water mixed with ice blocks. Now it is just winter, using this method to build the ice wall is extremely fast, so the wall has been increased again by about three or four meters...”

“If it’s not working, the old and weak in the village can be transferred to other places. The young and middle-aged people will stay, and we will be able to conduct a life-and-death fight!”

As the Blood Dragon Village was brought up, the eyes of the people present were ablaze with anger. Oppression during recent years and Gao Jian’s tragic death the day before; both made people plant the seeds of hatred in the heart for the Blood Dragon Village. People became angry for a time.

Ding Hao waited for them to finish their words and then he whispered something to Gao Xue’er, the little girl.

The little girl danced off.

After a while, the devil cat, with its tail standing tall, came in swaggeringly.

Behind him was the bald and giant man with an unctuous smile. Yesterday he was swallowed by the devil cat so that he was almost digested and turned into gastric juices. By his appearance, he looked like a poor fish who seemed to be moderately burned. The tattoo on his head was also messed up. With a stick to lean on, instead of the previous ferocity, he looked slightly happy.

“Meow. The person I have brought to you. Return him to me once you’re done with him. Meow! This guy is the funniest one.” The little cute cat was addicted to playing, so he ran out like a lightning after saying hello to Ding Hao. He would go to torture those remaining black knights again.

The tattooed and bald man’s smile was uglier than crying. He looked at Ding Hao gingerly.

“Tell me something about the strength in the Blood Dragon Village,” Ding Hao said without looking up.

The tattooed and bald man had been almost tortured to madness by Ding Hao and the devil cat. After hearing what Ding Hao said, he felt dazed, but he dared not neglect Ding Hao at all, telling him about Blood Dragon Village in detail.

“There are more than six hundred people in the Blood Dragon Village. In addition to some coolies, followers, cooks and women, about three hundred people really have combat strength. Out of those, a hundred and twenty people are warriors in the Martial Disciples Realm and twenty warriors in the Martial Soldier Realm...”

“There are three chiefs in the village. The third chief is Su Long, with the nickname of Swimming Dragon Sword, in the Three-apertured Martial Soldier Realm. His sword is like a swimming dragon. He is extremely cruel and merciless. The second chief is Han Yu, with the nickname of Ghost Counselor. He seldom involves himself in fights during the recent years, and has unfathomable strength. It is said that he has also mastered some means of the Inscription Formation. He has been acting the role of giving advice and suggestions in the village. He is cruel to other people and is full of cunning tricks...”

“The most horrible man is the first chief Feng Xueyi, with the nickname of Soul-taking with One Sword. He uses a thin sword with a narrow blade. The whole sword is like ink, and its blade like silver. Three years ago his strength had reached the Eight-apertured Martial Soldier Realm. Somebody said that he had been the strongest in the Martial Mentor Realm. In the surrounding area of the whole Snow Dragon Mountains, except for Peaceful City, he is an outstanding master!”

“Besides, some extremely skilled mechanisms and traps have been set in the village. For several hundred meters outside the village, the tactical formations made with inscriptions have also been set. Once they are launched, anyone trapped in such formations would be turned into mincemeat!”

The tattooed and bald man gave his accounting of the village in great detail, basically sketching all the strength in the Blood Dragon Village.

Ding Hao also asked him some other questions and the tattooed and bald man told what he knew.

“All right, you can leave now.” Ding Hao knew what was in his mind and he waved the bald man to step down.

Hearing what the bald one told Ding Hao about the Blood Dragon Village, the backbone villagers from the Valley Village felt embarrassed. Their hot blood became insignificant before the Blood Dragon Village’s powerful strength. Once a fight broke out, Feng Xueyi alone, Soul-taking with One Sword, was able to completely destroy the Valley Village with his sword. Tall walls and a large number of villagers could not block the strong masters in the Martial Mentor Realm who were able to flit to and from.
