I have the face of a great demon.

Although Liu Xingchen had only recently arrived in this world, the bloody battle between the two gangs by the cliff had already taught him a profound lesson, making him realize that this was a lawless world where the strong preyed on the weak.

He didn't think he was capable of defeating the bandits, and that rushing in like a fool would only make him a sitting duck.

If he wants to uphold justice, that can only be done after he joins a martial arts sect and learns martial arts skills.

For him, the best strategy right now is to retreat.

However, Tie Zhu's passionate act of stepping forward made him feel embarrassed to back down.

As he was thinking about how to deal with it, Tie Zhu couldn't hold back any longer. He jumped off the carriage and rushed forward.

Tie Zhu had no weapons and always fought with his fists. Liu Xingchen was afraid he would be at a disadvantage against the bandits, so he quickly shouted:

"Tiezhu, you are unarmed; you must not go forward rashly..."

"Brother Xingchen, relax, watch me!"

After saying that, Tie Zhu punched a small tree next to him, and the trunk, which was as thick as an arm, snapped in two.

He picked up the tree trunk, broke off the other end, and it became a thick stick. Holding the stick, he roared and charged forward.

Liu Xingchen sighed helplessly. If he continued to stand idly by, it would be against the code of chivalry.

A bitter smile appeared on his lips, and he then instructed the driver, "Brother, please wait here for a moment."

Having said that, he slung the legendary divine sword over his shoulder, shouldered his bundle, jumped off the carriage, and strode toward Tiezhu.

He thought to himself: Fine, I'll play along with this silly kid today. This kid is incredibly strong and can definitely fight off bandits. If all else fails, I'll try to see if my divine sword can unleash its power.

Tie Zhu ran wildly and soon arrived at the place where the cries for help were coming from.

A lone carriage lay across the middle of the road, with a person lying on the carriage, covered in blood, presumably having been killed by bandits.

Looking further ahead, not far away, another person lay on the ground, and in the grove ahead, several robbers were dragging a woman, intending to commit a crime against her.

Seeing this, Tie Zhu flew into a rage, and roared deafeningly:

"Hey! What kind of bandit are you, daring to do such a heinous thing in broad daylight? Take a blow from my grandpa Tiezhu!"

The roar was like a thunderclap out of nowhere, startling the birds in the forest into fluttering flight.

Those robbers originally thought they had struck it rich today, not only stealing a lot of valuables but also getting a beautiful woman, and were ready to have some fun.

Then, out of nowhere, someone intervened and ruined everything. How could I not be angry?

The bandit leader glared and shouted, "Brothers, get him! Cripple this kid!"

Several bandits rushed forward, brandishing knives.

Several bandits, carrying gleaming knives, charged at Tie Zhu like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.

Undeterred, Tie Zhu brandished his stick and charged forward.

With a single blow, the force was astonishing, knocking a robber's knife away. The remaining power of the blow then sent the robber flying far away like a kite with a broken string.

After a flurry of blows, the bandits were all lying on the ground groaning in pain.

"What a waste of space, he can't even handle a greenhorn."

The bandit leader cursed and swore, picked up his large axe, and walked out of the grove with murderous intent, intending to personally teach this arrogant brat a lesson.

Tie Zhu was a straightforward and single-minded man. Faced with the bandit leader's arrogance, he remained calm and used the same old tricks.

He swung his stick like a rolling pin, aiming straight for the bandit leader's head.

The bandit leader wasn't one to be trifled with either. With a swing of his axe, a "crack" rang out, and Tie Zhu's club was instantly reduced to half.

Seeing that Tie Zhu was no longer armed, the bandit leader laughed triumphantly and charged forward with his axe.

Tie Zhu dodged left and right, constantly in danger under the shadow of the axe.

He wanted to find a moment to pick up a knife that had fallen to the ground and use it, but in his haste, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The bandit leader would not let this opportunity pass. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He raised his great axe high above his head, and with a whistling sound, he went straight for the iron pillar, determined to split it in two.

Tie Zhu had no time to dodge and could only close his eyes and await his death.

Just at this critical moment, a crisp sound of metal clashing rang out. Tie Zhu turned around and saw that the bandit leader's axe was being blocked by a black sword.

"Brother Xingchen!" Tiezhu exclaimed in surprise, and rolled over to his feet.

The bandit leader squinted at the uninvited guest who had ruined his plans.

The man was dressed in a black robe, and he was clearly no ordinary person.

The man's eyes were cold and his face expressionless, staring at him as if he were a dead man, which made the bandit leader involuntarily shiver.

Who could this be? Could he be a martial arts master?

In fact, Liu Xingchen was also feeling very uneasy.

The reason he lingered for a while was because he wanted to change into this cool black robe, intending to show off in front of the bandits and see if he could scare them away.

They arrived a little late, but luckily they made it in time and saved Tiezhu's life.

In retrospect, the time was well spent; judging from the bandit leader's expression, he was clearly stunned.

Liu Xingchen tried to remain calm, but inside he was panicking.

This divine sword was incredibly heavy; he struggled to wield it even with both hands.

He just clashed head-on with the enemy's great axe with his sword, and the impact made his hand numb. Now he can't feel anything at all. How will he fight in a while?

In this confrontation, the spirit ghost did not make a move; he felt it was unnecessary to deal with a mortal.

It is not beneficial to let your master defeat the enemy too easily. It will only make your master overconfident and reckless. One day, he will run into a tough opponent.

Let the master handle it himself and train himself properly. The spirit doesn't intend to intervene unless it's a life-or-death situation.

Without the help of the spirit, Liu Xingchen discovered that the divine sword was no longer effective, putting him in a dilemma.

Although the bandit leader was stunned, he couldn't be fooled for long. If I didn't take action, he would definitely suspect that I was all show and no substance.

But if he were to make a move, and the divine sword didn't unleash its power, he would definitely be no match for the opponent.

Liu Xingchen's mind raced as he considered a solution.

I can't beat the bandit leader, but Tiezhu can.

Tie Zhu's disadvantage was that he didn't have a weapon that could rival his great axe. His tree trunk could handle a light single-edged sword, but it was no match for the heavy great axe.

Since that's the case, give him the best weapons.

So he pretended to be disdainful of fighting the bandits and said coldly:

"Tiezhu, take my sword and teach these bandits a lesson they won't forget."

"Alright!" Tie Zhu had long admired Liu Xingchen's sword. He took the divine sword, stepped forward, and stared intently at the bandit leader.

"You bandit, you bully people with your weapons. Now I have a fine weapon too, let's have a go and see if your axe is harder, or my sword!"

After saying that, he swung his divine sword and slashed at the bandit leader.
