Nearly half the night.

Rusty rain filled the world. The originally light rain became heavier as the third day approached, and continuous raindrops continued to hit the mountain, the road, the embankment, and the river surface outside the embankment, making the late night darker and more peaceful.

The small Xiayao Village has long been in darkness and silence. Even Huating County has not seen any figures and lights on such a rainy night, let alone this small village with only dozens of households.

However, not all the people in the village have fallen asleep. Yao Qian and several other young and strong villages ran out of their homes after the sound of rain became louder and went out of their homes to check the situation. After all, this is their home, and the village is full of their own relatives. As men, they must protect everything here.

Fortunately, although the river water outside the dike became more turbulent as the rain increased, and it increased a little higher than during the day, it was still a distance from the top of the dike. It seemed that the dike was still stable and there was no sign of damage due to the continuous collision of the river.

Yao Qian breathed a little relieved and discussed with his brothers whether to stay on the dike all night to prevent accidents. But before he could say anything, he looked up at the darkness ahead and said curiously: "Someone is here..."

At this time, the others also saw a few lights in the darkness quickly approaching the dam, which was faster than they usually ran. Obviously, all the visitors were Jianjiazi, which was definitely not comparable to those of them. This made the few people feel a little strange. Who would have come here in the middle of the night in the rain? And looking at the direction they came, it seemed that they had come out of the county town.

"Are they the adults in the county who are worried that there will be changes here and come to check it out?" Yao Qian expressed his guess, and the others agreed. Some of them were impatient and even walked down the dike first, wanting to welcome the people.

After a while, the lights were approaching. There were more than a dozen men wearing straw hats, straw raincoats, and holding hammers, chisels, shovels and other tools. There were only two of them empty-handed, playing two torches that had not been extinguished to illuminate the surrounding environment. Then the two sides met under the dike.

"Are you the master from the county government?" the village man who was leading the village man asked anxiously, with a respectful smile on his face.

The men who also discovered that they existed were silent earlier and swept back and forth on them with their eyes. Only the man in the lead smiled: "That's right, are you from Yao Village? Come patrol the embankment?"

"Yes, the embankment is fine, but I'm also troubled you all. Lord Li is indeed a good official..." The village man replied respectfully, and wanted to invite these hard-working county masters to the village to avoid the wind and rain and eat hot soup. As a result, he didn't say anything, and Yao Qian behind him was already alert: "No, since that's the case, why do you take these tools? You can't even use patrolling the embankment..."

The shout immediately made the villagers realize that there was something strange. These tools looked more like they were used to destroy the dam. Then they... just as everyone was stunned and wanted to question again, the smile on the man in the lead turned into a ferocious look in the blink of an eye, and with a sound, "You know too much!" The man had swept up, and at the same time a cold light flew up from his waist, and slashed at the front village man's neck, causing him to fall down in a scream.

At the same time, neither the man nor the sword light was slow, and they rose up again. In a few swishes, they killed all the village men who were blocking them and had not had time to react.

The men behind him also showed their sharp fangs at this time, waving their tools one by one, and killing the remaining village men who had been scared like wild animals prey on prey.

This was a completely unequal massacre. Even if the villagers had the strength to face such a fierce attack, they could not even use it. Moreover, they were all naked and fistless, how could they resist the attack of these powerful tools? They fell down in their screams, allowing the rain to wash away their bodies and wind away with the blood they shed.

Only Yao Qian, because he was the first to notice something strange and ran back in time, temporarily distanced himself from these terrible guys. But it was only temporarily. After dealing with the other village gangs, the other party smiled grimly and quickly chased him from behind. After a few breaths, he could feel something coming quickly behind him.

Without even being judged by his brain, Yao Qian quickly fell down and shouted, and he really avoided a sledgehammer that hit his head, but his body was paused, and his feet were hooked by the steps, and he threw himself forward.

Bang! A big foot arrived just now and kicked him hard on the side of the waist, kicking his whole body into the air. Finally, it hit the dam behind, shaking the sand and stones, and hitting the pretty strong man fainted without even screaming.

"Do it." The man in the lead had already returned to the sheath and did not care whether the other party was dead. He directly ordered the dike to dig the embankment. As soon as the embankment was opened, the turbulent river water blocked outside would flow into the embankment, and the entire Xiayao Village would completely disappear, let alone such a half-dead guy.

The people agreed in a deep voice, immediately got to the top of the dam, found their target positions, began to wave the tools in their hands, and knocked and moved them.

Building a dam is a project with equal importance to strength and technology. In fact, it is the same as destroying a dam. It is not that just opens a few gaps in a certain place, which will cause the entire dam to be completely destroyed by attracting the river water. You still have to choose some fragile places of the dam and the maximum impact of the river.

Moreover, they had to ensure their own safety while destroying the dike, so this task should be more careful and could not be completely destroyed. They had to leave a line for the dike. Only after they broke through the dike and left would the dike collapse.

So every stroke of theirs seemed very fine and careful. The sound of digging kept ringing on this rainy night, quite regular.

As their actions continued to go, a cup of tea had passed. Ten years ago, several pits of varying depths had appeared on the embankment that countless people had spent two years to completely build. At the same time, some gaps began to become thicker and deeper as they were digging and hit, spreading in all directions.

In just half a moment, everything will be successful according to the established strategy. At that time, with only one wave hit, the embankment will collapse and Huating will become a country of Ze. The people will become refugees, and the entire Huating, Songjiang, and Jiangnan will fall into the most complete chaos. That is the perfect time for the Holy Sect to take advantage of the situation!

The man in the head had a faint light twitching in his eyes, and he reflected the torch that was about to be extinguished in his hand, showing a bit of twisted excitement. But suddenly, the excitement in his eyes changed, turning into a warning, and his eyes quickly looked downward: "Who?"

At the same time as he pointed out, he had already drawn his sword in his hand, and the man rushed down quickly. He thought that the constant noise here should have awakened the people in the village below, so as long as he killed the person, he would be foolproof.

But just as he was about to rush to the bottom of the stairs, a figure rushed up from the darkness at a speed no less than him. This change was completely beyond his expectations, and his hand holding the knife immediately tightened, squinted his eyes, and swung his sword quickly, but it was definitely not his strongest performance.

"Huh..." The knife flew out, but it slashed in the air. The figure who seemed to be rushing fast actually made a rapid dodge and gently dodged the knife. At the same time, a cold light also bloomed in the hand of the black shadow. The cold light shone twice as fast as the knife just now, and it was twice as fast as the knife.

The leader's swordsman's heart sank in an instant. It was too late to dodge, so he could only exert force on his feet, rush back and retreat, and at the same time he tried his best to return to the knife to save himself, trying to draw the knife in time to resist this amazing knife.

But he still made a mistake. He was at the bottom of the stairs. This sweep happened to return to the uneven steps. With his skills, he could not be pitted by the stairs even if he flew backwards. However, at this moment, when he tried his best to retreat to the other party's pursuit, his figure could not be perfectly controlled. He suddenly felt a stir under his feet and his body staggered, making him, who was already at a disadvantage, even worse. He was condescending and slashed with a knife.

Seeing the sword light coming, he could no longer care about anything else, so he could only raise the torch in his left hand and try hard to block it. He only wanted to be able to block it and buy time for his return knife, just a moment, just a moment!

"Puchi--" The knife really fell on the torch he struggled to meet, but without any obstacle, he had chopped the torch made of good pine wood, which was as thick as an adult man's arm, into two pieces, and then went down, and even chopped down his left arm.

"Ah--!" The violent pain made him scream, but in just half a sound, he suddenly paused. Because the knife had been cut down again, and it hit his shoulder with a bang.

With the powerful power and sharpness shown by this sword, the lead swordsman was cut in such a position with one knife, but he was afraid that only one of them would be left, and that the upper body would be completely separated.

But the result was not the case. Just as the sword light slashed on him, the originally sharp light was dark, but there was no tragic sign of dismemberment. It just beat the knifeman with severely injured broken arm and threw it horizontally. After spraying out a large mouthful of blood, it fell to the ground and fainted.

If there is a master watching, you will find that the person who defeated the opponent in one encounter can still make a little change at the last moment, allowing the enemy's sword to change from the blade to the back of the knife, and only uses the force of pounding to seriously injure the person without killing him!
