Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.106 - Falling Star Village

The air this morning was bright. The wind was blowing slowly with the song of a bird that sounded melodious. The sunlight is not yet felt, but the bias has been seen far in the eastern horizon. Life was just beginning to appear, the villagers of the Falling Star began to fill it with daily activities as time went on.

The family figure that is so harmonious also dabbled with his busyness. Tang Shu as usual would go to the fields in the morning. The figure of Fu Mei also faithfully accompanied her mother, although she was only seven years old but the beauty of Fu Mei was seen early on.

What a perfect family the other villagers thought when they saw the household. Xin Xue's figure was even still the prima donna of the village and her beauty was offsetting those girls in the Falling Star Village. So Tang Shu inevitably had to take care of him properly in order for his wife to move to another heart.

But, when the day starts to go by noon, maybe things will change!

From a distance there was the sound of horse footsteps approaching the mouth of the Falling Star Village. The horsemen numbered at least dozens of people, they looked relaxed and unhurried, even seemed friendly and ordinary.

There were some villagers who were aware of their presence but he just ignored them. Indeed, all this time they felt there was no need to be vigilant, because nothing bad happened to this village for decades.

Their presence is considered something natural, because this village is often passed by traders and martial people.

"Hoho... So the lanterns I've seen all this time come from here?" said an old man riding a horse in the front row.

"Sir, what are we going to do about this village?"

"Hehe.." The old man chuckled softly, "Just do it as usual.ah, but tell your men not to kill everything, I still want to see the lanterns they used to fly."

"Well, sir." replied the other man with a big grin.

"Heaaa…!"

Once in the middle of the Village, the horsemen shouted directly over his horse and spread in all directions. Then you know, there's a house on fire. While the occupants of the fog shouted in fear as soon as out of his house that was consumed by fire.

The old man who had previously given the order was just casually stirring his horse, passing through the crowd of citizens who were scattering in panic.

"All right, boy, get out! I can feel your qi in this Village," the old man muttered with a faint grin.

The horsemen immediately jumped down while unsheathing sharp weapons. Once there are villagers who come out of their homes immediately move quickly to attack it accompanied by sabetage of weapons.

"Yes…!!"

An elderly man immediately screamed loudly when his neck was slashed with a sword. While the two women who were nearby screamed in fear. Then a rough-faced man who had just committed murder prepared to fuck them. No one dared to help because everyone was busy saving their lives.

"Yes…!!"

"Ugh, RELEASE! THE ESCAPE!! DAD, TOLOOONG…!!"

The screams of death were heard blending in with the terrified cries of the villagers. The elderly were killed, while virgins and widows were toyed with at will. No matter if the woman being toyed with was married or underage, their honor as a woman was taken that very second.

Xin Xue who heard the commotion tried to remain calm and find a way out. Secretly she and Fu Mei crawled out through the back door of the house. With the cattle as well as some horses there Xin Xue hoped to use them to escape as far as possible.

"Mother.." Fu Mei's body trembled violently from hearing the sound of such a heartbreaking scream outside. His body felt weak and even difficult to move.

"Relax, Mei'er.we can definitely escape from here," Xin Xue gritted her teeth, feeling the same fear as Fu Mei. She wished for Tang Shu's existence at times like these but her husband was far away in the fields at the moment. Waiting for him and remaining silent was impossible, as the men had almost inspected the entire house.

Just when Xin Xue was about to raise Fu Mei on a horse she prepared, a few men suddenly appeared from behind the door and made Xin Xue shocked to death. Xian Xue quickly tied the rope to Fu Mei's body so she wouldn't fall.

"Mother.." Fu Mei stretched out her hand, requesting that Xin Xue immediately go up.

Xin Xue's tears were unstoppable anymore, although with a heavy heart she could still smile gently at Fu Mei, "Go Mei'er, mother will hold them back…"

Xin Xue patted hard on Fu Mei's thigh, making the horse neigh and immediately run somewhere.

"MOTHER…!!" Fu Mei shouted loudly, her feelings were chaotic until her tears flowed profusely and soaked her sweet face.

Xin Xue became panicked, she took out just about anything to use as a weapon against the muscular man, "Antikaan!!"

"Hahaha.give up! I'll spare your life if you don't fight back" said the burly man, grinning widely and licking his lips, then leisurely walking closer to Xin Xue.

Unknowingly, Xin Xue took a few steps back due to the bullying aura of that person. However, exerting all his strength, Xin Xue strove the wooden beam he was holding towards the man with all his might.

Unfortunately, the burly man was able to withstand the attack using just one hand, while his other hand directly reached for Xin Xue's hair. Xin Xue had rebelled but the man's strength was no match for her.

"Ah, the smell of your body is very tempting.How lucky is the man who became your husband." The burly man brought his face closer to Xin Xue's neck with a wide smile, making Xin Xue's hair stand up.

"Your asses! Cheih.." Xin Xue spat at the burly man and looked at him sharply.

"Hahaha..it's amazing! But you better not be struggling much, I don't want to ruin your beautiful face" said the man and started caressing Xin Xue's face.

"Let go! Release me!!" Fu Mei who was caught trying to escape, her legs lunged in all directions, hoping that the man who took her would let go.

Xin Xue who heard the voice was shocked not to play, even to the point that her body shook violently.

"May'er-!"

"Momuu…??" Fu Mei circulated her gaze, "Mother!! Release my mother-!"

Plaque!

"Shut up boy! Your voice makes my ears buzz." The man holding Fu Mei slapped the little girl's face until it made a mark on her face.

"We leave that woman to the Chairman. I'm sure he'll be happy that you brought a beautiful woman for him."

"Cih.." The burly man cursed in his heart, not willing to give his catch to others. But he had to repair his reputation due to the problems he had made in recent times.

"Then this little girl will be mine!" the burly man then dragged Xin Xue, not caring anymore if there was some sort of wound on the woman's body.

"You're a weirdo…"

Unnoticed by the group of horsemen, a young man ran back and forth toward the field. This young man knew a figure who was quite great in the Village and wished that person was able to save this Village.

"The band of robbers is coming! There's robbers…!!"

The people of the Falling Star Village who were in the fields were suddenly startled, as a young man galloped while shouting with a pale face. They immediately looked in one direction, where a fifteen-year-old young man ran in shock and gasped for breath, trying to get close.

"What's wrong?" Tang Shu directly blocked the young man's footsteps.

"Bandits, Uncle…! Robbers!!" sahut the young man with a shivering voice.

Instantly those who worked immediately ran up to this responsible young man named Xu Ahjin.

"What do you mean, Jin'er! Say it clearly!" Tang Shu urged the young man to make sure of his hearing.

"There are robbers, Uncle!! Get Uncle there! They not only robbed, but also killed and raped women in the village!" report Xu Ahjin in a hurry.

Tang Shu's eyes instantly rounded, remembering his son and wife, "May'er…"

Not only was Tang Shu gasping but the others as well. Those who leave their wives, lovers, or sisters or children begin to feel anxious. So as on the cue, simultaneously the people snatched the machete equipment and other sharp objects then ran fast towards the village.

On the way, they were screaming like they were swearing at the robbers. It seems like they are also ready to risk their lives if they have to. Their weapons had been stretched overhead, while running about entering the Village.
