Chapter 177 Siblings
Da Tou led Ling'er and young Li Honglin slowly through the narrow alley. The three were about to reach the alley entrance, which was the only way out to the street.
Da Tou suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ling'er behind him. He gently placed Li Honglin, whom he was holding, on the ground.
"Shh... Little Honglin, Ling'er, you two be good and wait here for Big Head Brother. Don't run around, okay?"
Big Head's voice was deep and gentle as he tried to soothe their emotions.
He didn't want these two innocent children to get involved.
Ling'er looked up at Da Tou, her eyes filled with worry and confusion: "Brother Da Tou, where are you going? Can't we go together?"
Big Head shook his head: "Ling'er, there are Qin soldiers over there. I'll be right back. You wait here for me to come and get you."
Ling'er nodded, her eyes shining with trust.
"Okay, Big Head, you'd better be careful."
Big Head smiled with satisfaction and reached out to pat the two of them on the head.
Then he turned around, holding a long sword in his right hand, and rushed out of the alley like a black lightning bolt.
As he appeared before them, the sounds of fighting could be heard coming from a restaurant not far away.
Flames were shooting into the sky near the restaurant, and smoke filled the air.
Da Tou immediately spotted several Qin soldiers wielding long swords, locked in fierce combat with a group of soldiers also clad in armor.
The restaurant was in complete disarray, with tables and chairs overturned, porcelain shattered, and everything in disarray.
"Hmph, these Qin soldiers are truly omnipresent."
Big Head cursed inwardly, then rushed over without hesitation.
His arrival immediately attracted the attention of the Qin soldiers, and several of them turned their blades and charged at him.
"Well come."
Big Head shouted loudly, and the long sword in his hand flashed with sword light like a dragon.
In an instant, it clashed with the Qin soldiers' blades, producing a deafening sound.
"You bunch of Qin traitors, how could you be so despicable?" Big Head's eyes widened in anger, his voice filled with righteous indignation.
He was agile and his swordsmanship was fierce; every move he made was aimed at the enemy's vitals.
Although the Qin soldiers were numerous, they were outmatched and retreated one after another in the face of Da Tou's superb swordsmanship.
Although the Qin soldiers retreated, a few Qin soldiers still managed to fight back using their own strength.
He thought that Big Head was just a wet-headed child and didn't take him seriously at all, so he picked up his big knife and attacked him.
Big Head flashed, moving like a ghost through the narrow space of the restaurant.
His eyes gleamed with unwavering determination, and the longsword in his hand gleamed coldly in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Like a ferocious beast poised to pounce, ready to devour its prey.
"Drink!" came a deep, powerful roar.
Big Head suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the Qin soldier at the forefront like an arrow released from a bow.
The Qin soldier clearly hadn't expected someone to suddenly intrude into the battle.
He was stunned for a moment, only managing to raise his long sword in a defensive stance.
But how could these lowly soldiers withstand Big Head's swordsmanship?
With a slight twist of his wrist, his longsword drew a dazzling arc in the air, like the brightest shooting star in the night sky, easily bypassing the Qin soldier's blade and heading straight for his vitals.
With a light touch of the sword tip, the Qin soldier felt an indescribable chill spread from his chest.
Immediately afterwards, his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and falling silent.
This scene sent a chill down the spines of the remaining Qin soldiers. They had never seen such fierce swordsmanship before, and for a moment they were at a loss.
But as members of the Qin army, they quickly adjusted their mindset.
They roared and charged at Da Tou again, weapons in hand, trying to overwhelm this unexpected enemy with their numbers.
Despite being surrounded by Qin soldiers, Da Tou seemed to be handling the situation with ease.
His movements were unpredictable; he would sometimes leap into the air, sweeping his long sword horizontally, forcing the Qin soldiers below to retreat repeatedly.
At times, he would bend down and swoop, his sword tip flashing like a serpent emerging from its hole, specifically targeting the enemy's weak points in defense.
Each flash of the sword's light was accompanied by the fall of a Qin soldier.
Big Head, on the other hand, was like a war god descended to earth, exuding an inviolable majesty.
"Clang!" A crisp metallic clang rang out as Big Head clashed head-on with a Qin general wielding a heavy sword.
The Qin general possessed immense strength and his swordsmanship was exceptionally fierce, but Da Tou showed no fear whatsoever; instead, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
He shifted his body to the side, skillfully deflecting the force of the opponent's sword, and then swung his sword backhand, aiming straight for the Qin general's throat.
The Qin general was shocked and hurriedly dodged to the side, but it was too late. He felt a chill on his neck and blood gushed out like a fountain.
His eyes widened, and he collapsed to the ground, filled with resentment.
In the battle at the restaurant, Da Tou seemed to transform into a sword spirit, each swing of his sword precise and deadly.
His swordsmanship was not only incredibly beautiful, but also contained profound internal energy cultivation, making each strike incredibly powerful.
The Qin soldiers were defeated one after another under his sword. Some were pierced through the heart, and some were cut in half at the waist. The entire restaurant was filled with blood and despair.
Big Head stood in the center of the restaurant, his body covered in blood, but his eyes were unusually firm.
Da Tou walked around the restaurant, saw no living people, went straight to the kitchen, quickly grabbed some dry food, and came out.
When Da Tou walked out of the restaurant, he headed in the direction of Ling'er and her brother.
Ling'er and her brother Li Honglin were anxiously waiting for him at the alley entrance.
When they saw Big Head walk out covered in blood, they were all terrified and turned pale.
But when Ling'er saw the smile on Da Tou's face, her worries vanished.
"Big Head Brother, are you alright?" Ling'er asked with concern.
Big Head smiled and shook his head: "I'm fine, this blood is all from the Qin army."
Then he handed the bag in his hand to Li Honglin: "Come on, let's eat something before we go find Brother Shanzi."
The three of them sat in the alley and ate a simple meal.
Li Honglin: "Big Head Bro, this pancake is delicious."
Big Head: "If it's delicious, eat more."
Big Head said, taking another piece for him, then poured some water from the water bag into the bowl and gave it to him: "Eat slowly, here, drink some water."
Li Honglin: "Thank you, Brother Big Head."
Da Tou also placed a bowl of water in front of Ling'er: "Drink some water too, eat slowly, no rush."
After the three of them finished eating, Shanzi picked up three water bags, tied them around his waist, and said to the siblings, "Alright, let's go find Brother Shanzi."
Da Tou then led Ling'er and Li Honglin out of the alley and headed towards the town gate of Nanshan Town.
At the entrance of Nanshan Town, Shanzi turned to look at the other Qin soldiers, his eyes filled with killing intent and determination.
“You Qin soldiers, how dare you invade our Ling Kingdom! Today I will show you what it means for the Ling Kingdom to be inviolable.”
Shanzi roared, then charged toward the other Qin soldiers with his longsword in hand.
His figure moved swiftly through the Qin army, his longsword dancing in the air like a silver dragon.
With each swing of the sword, Qin soldiers fell.
His swordsmanship was so sharp and precise that it was impossible for anyone to resist.
Whenever he saw a Qin soldier, he would rush forward without hesitation and kill him.
His swordsmanship was sharp and precise, striking fear into the hearts of Qin soldiers.
Thanks to his and Wang Ming's efforts, the Qin soldiers in Nanshan Town were gradually wiped out.
Da Tou led Ling'er and Li Honglin through alleys until they finally saw the entrance to Nanshan Town.
The last rays of the setting sun shone on the town gate, as if draping the town in a golden armor.
The sounds of battle between Ling and Qin soldiers could be faintly heard in the distance, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
Da Tou stopped and turned to look at Ling'er and Li Honglin, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Xiao Honglin, Ling'er, we're almost at the town gate."
But it's still very dangerous there, so you should wait here for a while.
Big Head, go help Shanzi and the others. After we defeat the Qin army, we'll go home together, okay?
Ling'er held Li Honglin's hand tightly, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, but she still nodded.
"Big Head Brother, you must be careful, we're waiting for you here."
Big Head smiled and patted the two of them on the head, then turned around and found a seemingly deserted house in the alley next to him.
He pushed open the door and found it empty, so he turned back and brought Ling'er and Li Honglin inside.
"You all stay here and don't make a sound. Big Head will be back soon."
"Here you go. There's food and water in this bag. Eat something if you're hungry or thirsty," Big Head whispered.
Then he closed the door and ran towards the town gate again.
When he arrived at the town gate, he saw Shanzi like an angry lion, charging left and right among the Qin soldiers, his swordsmanship fierce and unparalleled.
Meanwhile, Wang Ming was fighting the Qin army on the other side, and the Qin soldiers were retreating one after another under their attacks.
