Qin Feng's face was also splattered with some red blood, but his White Robe was soaked with it, all from the bandits he had killed.
Fortunately, he acted quickly. When those bandits surrounded him, he managed to kill them, and being so close naturally resulted in blood splattering onto him, and it only increased.
Especially that Bandit Leader, who was nearly six feet tall and quite heavy. The blood gushing from his neck splattered a lot, making Qin Feng's heart tremble; it was truly brutal and bloody!
Watching that man fall to the ground like a fat pig, completely lifeless and not moving at all, felt terrifying.
This was the cruel reality of war; it was either you die or I die. Life is so fragile.
Some Imperial Guards from that direction ran back, their faces covered in red blood, yet they appeared very happy, their blades also stained with blood.
"Reporting to Qin Sir! Lord Zhang! The few bandits that ran away have been caught up with and killed. They really didn't know when to quit! They dared to rob even the Imperial Guards; what a bunch of useless desperados!"
Zhang Mu looked very pleased. As a martial artist, he felt a great sense of pride in being able to eliminate the fleeing enemies.
He also retrieved the Long Sword, over a meter long and covered in blood, placing it aside.
"Brothers, you’ve worked hard! Let’s take down these reckless bandits quickly. Clean up these bodies so that more Brothers can stay alert; we need to patrol throughout the night in case there are more bandits attacking!"
Those wielding Broadswords responded with laughter. It had been a long time since they had engaged in real combat; it was quite exhilarating!
They turned their bodies to clean up the corpses lying on the ground, which had stained the earth red. Some went to notify the brothers in other directions to help with the cleanup.
They also reminded them to stay alert during the night and not sleep too deeply, arranging for more people to patrol to prevent any incidents.
Suddenly, a woman dressed in a Pink Robe and draped in a Red Long Cloak, with long flowing hair and a fair complexion, ran towards Qin Feng.
It was Liu Xiaoxiao. After noticing that most of the bandits outside had been killed and the screams had ceased, she dared to run out of the tent and saw him there.
"Qin Feng, you're injured! Why are you covered in blood? Let me take a look; I can help you treat your wounds!"
He touched his white robe, first moving to his arm, discovering it was stained with bright red blood, thinking he must have been injured.
Qin Feng quickly took her hand away; that was someone else's blood, but it was very dirty.
"Xiao Xiao, I'm fine. This is all the blood of those bandits. They've mostly been killed already. I'll just change my clothes in the tent later!"
She seemed to relax a bit and said, "Really? I thought you were hurt. I'm so glad you're okay."
He smiled and nodded, feeling good to have someone who cared about him, especially a Great Beauty, which made him feel warm and happy.
Liu Xiaoxiao looked at a corpse on the ground; it was a very tall person, but the lower part was already stained red with blood, and shockingly, the head was missing. Blood was gushing from the neck, which was truly terrifying.
She let out a few sharp screams in fear and hid behind Qin Feng, seeking his protection.
He wrapped his arms around her body, comforting her and assuring her that she didn't need to be afraid; that person was already dead and wouldn't do anything anymore.
At that moment, dozens of Imperial Guards marched over aggressively, each wielding broadswords stained with red blood, resembling a pack of wolves.
They were chasing after these unarmed bandits, who looked like prey and were terrified as they moved forward with long wounds on their bodies that caused them great pain.
One guard dressed in Black Armor, also stained with red, even had some on his face and wore a strange grin.
He shouted loudly, "Report to the lords! The fleeing bandits have been captured! The remaining ones have also been dealt with on the spot; they were hacked to death on the ground. What a bunch of troublemakers seeking their own demise."
"When we caught them, they wanted to surrender and begged not to be killed. Please decide what to do with them!"
The commander Zhang Mu coldly watched them; his black eyes had turned blood-red at some point, resembling a mad beast.
These troublemakers actually dared to gather in rebellion and rob the Imperial Guards of Tokyo City; they were truly asking for death. Their crimes were unforgivable; they must all be executed!
"Their crimes are unforgivable. They have no idea how many innocent civilians they have killed, and they dare to rob even Soldiers. Killing a civilian is no different from killing a chicken. Push them all to the front and execute them; not a single one should be left alive!"
The unarmed bandits, hearing this, became even more terrified. They knelt on the ground, begging for mercy and looking for excuses.
"Officials, please give us a way out! It was all that Bandit Leader Chen Datian who incited us to take to the mountains and rob passersby just to survive and avoid starving. We really haven't harmed many people; we only robbed wealthy merchants and Soldiers."
"Those are deceitful merchants who love to exploit farmers, and we hate them deeply. That's why we resorted to robbery. We promise to return to farming and never kill again. Please, Officials, spare us!"
Qin Feng felt a twinge of sympathy upon hearing their words. If they could farm and make a living, they wouldn't have turned to banditry; one misstep could lead to their deaths.
Liu Xiaoxiao also felt some sympathy. As a weak woman, she couldn't bear to hear their soft pleas and felt pity for them.
Seeing them kneeling in desperation, Qin Feng thought that perhaps if they were spared, they would truly repent and not kill anymore.
"Lord Zhang, why not give them a chance? These are refugees with no way out. They must be struggling to survive as farmers, which is why they resorted to this. If we let them go, perhaps they won't do this again; they've already tasted hardship!"
Zhang Mu looked at him, his red eyes showing some calmness as he hesitated instead of immediately rejecting the idea.
These were farmers who had killed before; allowing them to farm again seemed impossible—they would surely return to banditry. They had to be executed.
But Qin Feng was the Peace Envoy this time, wielding significant power. He couldn't outright refuse; he was thinking of a good excuse for the killings!
"Brothers, you mustn't show mercy! This is like letting a tiger return to the mountain; these murderers must all be executed—no survivors allowed! Otherwise, it will be raising a tiger for trouble!"
Wang Xiang unexpectedly walked over from one side, exuding an air of menace. During the chaos, he hadn't drawn his weapon against the bandits, but now he had emerged, which seemed rather coincidental.
Zhang Mu and the others greeted him respectfully; it was customary since he was a General.
He continued, "Qin Brother, don't use your indecisive methods on bandits; that won't work. I've fought many battles against the Liao People and Western Xia and have killed plenty of Bandits."
"Once these bandits are let go, they will come back for revenge. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and drag these dogs out and kill them. Don't wait until morning!"
The Imperial Guards, armed with broadswords, had long been displeased with these bandits, knowing they were nothing but murderers and robbers. They even dared to rob their own! They had wanted to chop them up for a long time to rid the world of this menace.
As they dragged the bandits out from the ground, they took them outside.
This was their tent, their sleeping place; they couldn't allow more corpses and blood to lie around, as it would disturb their sleep. It was better to kill them outside and burn the bodies on the spot.
Qin Feng also wanted to save them, but after hearing Wang Xiang's words, he hesitated. Bandits were hard to change; perhaps it was best this way!
First came the pleas for mercy from the bandits, their voices filled with tears as they realized their mistakes. Even if they starved, they shouldn't have come to rob.
Once outside, a series of heart-wrenching screams echoed. Each scream was short-lived, followed by the sound of bones snapping. The headless corpse fell to the ground.
Then came more agonizing screams; each voice was brief, but one after another, the bandits were all chopped down, lying in disarray.
The sound of bones breaking continued one after another; it felt truly exhilarating to kill!
