Longevity Mountain pondered for a while and said,""We might not be able to pass the test safely even if we withdraw our insurance.”
"Since you've already gotten yourself into trouble, it's better to hold on," Lin Chengfang said.”
"Good!" Longevity Mountain said. It's decided then. We'll escort the girl to Xuzhou.”
These words were spoken very loudly, as if they were deliberately let the woman and the others hear them.
The caravan moved on.
After walking for about four or five miles, they arrived at a fork in the road.
A row of four people stood in the middle of the road, blocking the way.
When Lin Chengfang was thirty feet away from the four of them, he reined in his horse and stopped.
Zhang Ming also got off his horse and slowly went up to him.
Lin Chengfang's actions were very quiet. He slowly took down the long sword hanging on the saddle and went up to meet the attack.
Zhang Ming walked very slowly. He kept his eyes on Lin Chengfang, maintaining a suitable distance.
The two sides stopped about six to seven feet apart.
"The four of you are…" Zhang Ming cupped his fists.
The one standing on the left replied coldly,""The Four Monsters of Northern Hunan…"
"I've heard a lot about you," Zhang Ming said.
" There's no need to be polite," the man on the left said." You have already broken through several obstacles. It is enough to show your wisdom. However, I wonder how you will spend it on us brothers…"
Lin Chengfang walked past Zhang Ming and said,""Are the four of you here to rob the escorts?"
He turned his gaze and sized up the four of them.
The four of them were all wearing black clothes, but they were using different weapons.
Two of them carried sabers and two used soft whips.
The age of the four of them was between 34 to 40.
Lin Chengfang could tell that the four of them had both internal and external martial arts, but he had no way of knowing their identities.
Perhaps Zhang Ming knew, but he had forgotten to tell Lin Chengfang.
The leader of the men in black said,"That's right. If we didn't want to rob the escort, why would we stand on the main road and eat dust and drink wind?"”
Lin Chengfang nodded and said,"That's it. I've already seen a few experts who intercepted them."”"So, we didn't underestimate you. Are you ready to make a move?" the leader of the men in black said. Or should I hand over the girl who killed my love?"
Lin Chengfang thought to himself, No matter what, I should know their names first. I can't just fight a vague battle.”
" Baotong Bodyguard Agency," he thought to himself and smiled." This is a small shop with few people. Naturally, it's not famous in the martial world."”
" Many people have underestimated your bureau," the man in black on the left said." Your bureau will be famous in Jianghu regardless of whether you can get past the ten obstacles."”
"The four of you are all people with great backgrounds, so why make things difficult for us?" Lin Chengfang said.”
The leader of the men in black laughed." Your Excellency, you're really good at talking. Why don't you just ask for our names?"
After going around in such a big circle, I believe that you don't know us.”
"Brother, you're blind," Lin Chengfang said.”
"Have you heard of the rest of the Four Heroes of Xiangyang?”
Lin Chengfang had indeed never heard of it before, but he had no choice but to give a fist salute and say,"I've heard a lot about you."
The leader of the men in black sighed lightly and said,""The four of us have practiced a technique called the 'Blade Formation in the Whip.' We are quite famous in the martial world.”
Lin Chengfang said," There are only a few people in our shop. There are only two or three who can fight. I, Lin, will be the flag-bearer first. I'll follow the four of you."”
The leader nodded and said,""Good!"
He raised his wrist and unsheathed his saber.
The four men in black took out their weapons in order.
Eldest and Third used long sabers, while Second and Fourth each wielded a thirteen-section bright silver soft whip.
Lin Chengfang saw the righteous look on the faces of the four people and hurriedly waved his hand."Slow down, slow down."
The leader of the men in black was already waving his saber and setting up the formation. He stopped and said,""Sir, what else do you have to say?"
"That's right. Brother, you have some questions in your heart. We must ask them before we act."”
The leader of the men in black said,"Please speak."”
"The Four Heroes of Xiangyang aren't from the Green Forest Sect, are they?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
"Song Hongbao and his brothers, they still have some reputation."”
"Since you're a chivalrous man, why did you rob the escort? Aren't you afraid of damaging the reputation of the four of you?"”
Song Hongbao laughed coldly and said," You are asking the obvious. I don't need to point out what kind of escort you are protecting. That is a demoness that everyone has to kill. The four of us were invited by others to eliminate the evil for the people. What's wrong with that?”
"So, you guys have no beef with the girl who cut off love?" Lin Chengfang nodded.”
"No, it's just a trip to get rid of evil."”
"Brother Song, regardless of the reputation of the woman who has cut off her love in the martial world, I'm not sure if she's good or bad," said Lin Chengfang. We've already accepted this escort, so we have to make it to Xuzhou no matter what. The mistress has been in Jianghu for a long time, so we can't be in a hurry.”
Song Hongbao shook his head and said," No, we've been invited to eliminate the evil. It's not just the four of us. Even if we agree, others won't agree."”
"That's someone else's business," Lin Chengfang said.”
"If we brothers don't make a move, wouldn't it be a form of ridicule for us if someone else captured the girl who had killed his lover?" Song Hongbao said.”
"Brother Song, due to the rules of our trade, we can't let go. Brother Song…" Lin Chengfang said.
Song Hongbao raised his hand and stopped Lin Chengfang from continuing. He continued,"This is no longer something that can be explained with words. If your bureau doesn't let go, you can only take action.”
"Alright!" Lin Chengfang said. Brother Song wants to see who wins and who loses, so I can only accompany you.”
As he spoke, he slowly walked forward. Song Hongbao waved his right hand lightly, and the four of them quickly formed a bowl-shaped human formation. The so-called " Sword in the Whip Formation " wasn't a change in the formation, but the coordination of the four people's weapons.
Lin Chengfang was skilled and bold as he slowly walked into the bowl.
Han Er was anxious and whispered to Zhang Ming,""Brother Zhang, quickly remember that Escort Leader Lin has retreated. The combined battle formation of the four heroes of Xiangyang is extremely fierce.”
At this time, Longevity Mountain also walked up quickly, passing Zhang Ming and Han Er, heading straight for the front of the formation.
Song Hongbao's gaze was fixed on Lin Chengfang as he said coldly,""Are you alone?"
Lin Chengfang smiled and said," I can't take it anymore. Someone else will take over. The four of you don't have to be polite. Please take action."”
"Since you're so arrogant, don't blame us for being merciless." Song Hongbao said coldly."As you speak, you raise your saber and take the lead in attacking.
With a flash of blade light, two bright silver whips shot out at the same time, like two silver dragons, sweeping over.
The other long blade followed the two whips and arrived at lightning speed.
The whip net and saber light formed a cold light and a wall of light that attacked together.
This incomparably sharp attack came crashing down like an avalanche.
Lin Chengfang frowned. He didn't expect that the combined attack of the whip and saber would be so powerful.
He was shocked, but his hand didn't stop. He raised his sword and the sword turned into a sword light.
The sound of weapons clashing could be heard, and two whips and two sabers were blocked by the sword light.
However, Lin Chengfang was still detained in place and could not break out of the encirclement.
The two whips and two sabers were also deflected by his sword, maintaining a stalemate.
Song Hongbao was secretly shocked, thinking that in the past ten years, no one had used such a method to receive their combined attack.
This was a head-on clash. One's internal strength was strong, and the sword light was dense. If a weapon could not block it, it was impossible for one not to be injured.
Lin Chengfang muttered to himself," The coordination of these four people is already very good. Adding on the difference in hardness and softness of their weapons, it increases their power. I can't force myself too much to avoid suffering.
He thought about it and smiled,""I've finally seen the Whip Saber Formation of the Four Heroes of Xiangyang. Be careful, I'm going to counterattack.”
He no longer gave the other party a chance to attack. As he spoke, he had already handed over his sword.
After he finished speaking, he had already attacked seven times.
The seven swords connected in a chain and were aimed at Song Hongbao.
Song Hongbao's Blade Sealing Man Evasion blocked the seven swords, but he was forced back five to six feet.
These four people had long practiced the technique of fighting together and were very familiar with it. Song Hongbao retreated, and the other three followed suit.
Therefore, Lin Chengfang withdrew his sword and two bright silver whips and a blade light came at him.
Lin Chengfang turned his body to the side and avoided the incoming blade attack. He blocked one of the whips with his long sword, but the other whip was coming at him from the side. He had no choice but to take a deep breath and turn around, heading straight for the person holding the whip.
The long whip came like the wind and fell rapidly. He had already evaded this attack.
However, the bright silver whip was more than ten feet long. Lin Chengfang used his fast movement technique to close the distance.
Obviously, Lin Chengfang was ready to take the hit and fight back.
This whip blade formation had a very tight combination. Song Hongbao's single blade could have blocked Lin Chengfang's attack, but because Song Hongbao was forced to catch his breath by Lin Chengfang's seven consecutive sword attacks, he didn't have time to attack, leaving a gap.
The bright silver whip in that person's hand could hit Lin Chengfang, but the power of the whip was above the tip of the whip. At such a close distance, the power of the whip was greatly reduced, but it was still within the reach of Lin Chengfang's sword.
In fact, Lin Chengfang's sword had already been raised along with his advancing body, and the sword light was pointed at his chest.
"Second Brother, leave quickly!" Song Hongbao shouted.”
He waved his saber and swept it horizontally.
The person holding the whip also understood that even if the whip in his hand hit the opponent seven times, it would only cause the opponent to be injured. However, the opponent's long sword would definitely hit his fatal spot.
Without needing Song Hongbao to call out, he had already retreated.
Lin Chengfang had made a risky move and completely seized the initiative. With his swift movement technique, he barely managed to dodge the single blade. With a wave of his left hand, he grabbed the whip and raised his sword, pointing it at his chest.
It was easy to say, but in fact, Lin Chengfang had already taken many risks. He had completely relied on his nimble and fast movement techniques and accurate calculations to subdue the strong enemy in one move.
Song Hongbao put down the saber in his hand and sighed softly,""Your Excellency is wise."
"Thank you for letting me go. Are the four of you withdrawing?" Lin Chengfang asked. Or is it going to cause a bloody tragedy?"
"If you want to kill me, then kill me. The Four Heroes of Xiangyang are not cowards of death."”
"If you really want to die, I'll fulfill your wish…" Lin Chengfang sneered.
"Escort, please wait…" Song Hongbao shouted.
Lin Chengfang's long sword had already pierced through the clothes of the person holding the whip. The woman at the tip of the sword touched her skin, but she suddenly stopped and said,""Brother Song, do you have any instructions?"
Song Hongbao looked at Third Brother and Fourth Brother and slowly said,""Since our brother's Whip in the Saber Array was unable to trap you, it proves that we are no match for you.”
Lin Chengfang put away his sword and said,""Brother Song, I'm extremely grateful that you're willing to give me face.”
"I'm ashamed, ashamed…" Song Hongbao said.
"Brother Song, you're too much," Lin Chengfang said.”
Song Hongbao ordered the three brothers to put away their weapons and sheathed them,""I have another unreasonable request. I wonder if you will agree to it?”
"As long as it's within my ability, brother, I'll naturally agree."”
Song Hongbao said," We've long heard of the name of the woman who beheaded love. She seems to be a great demoness in the martial arts world. That's why my brother was invited here to get rid of her."”
"Oh!" Lin Chengfang said.
Song Hongbao said,"However, we brothers are not skilled enough, so we have no choice but to invite our good friends. However, we are disappointed to return empty-handed after entering a treasure mountain. Therefore, we want to see the woman who killed our lover. What do you think, escort?"”
"I can't make the decision," Lin Chengfang said."I have to get the permission of the love-severing girl." However, brother, you can tell me that we are indeed escorting the girl to Xuzhou.”
A silver bell-like voice sounded,""Escort Lin, don't make things difficult for me. Do you still care about being seen?"
When the hood of the carriage was lifted, the woman who had cut off love had already walked over slowly.
The eight eyes of the Four Heroes of Xiangyang were focused on the woman who had cut off her love.
She had almond-shaped eyes and peach-shaped cheeks. She was indeed extremely moving.
Song Hongbao sighed and said,"Young lady can charm all living beings, she is indeed not an ordinary person."”
"If I have the chance to go to Xiangyang, I'll definitely pay you a visit."”
"It's best if you don't, but if you must go, my brother can at least guarantee your safety in Xiang."”
"Thank you, little sister."”
Song Hongbao waved his hand and said,"Miss, please get in the car. We brothers will take our leave."”
He turned around and walked forward.
Looking at the backs of the Four Heroes of Xiangyang, Lin Chengfang smiled and said,""Miss, everyone wants to kill you, but when they see you, they seem to have lost the belief that they must kill you.”
" Everyone has their own opinions," the Love Slayer said." The Jianghu people say that I'm a ruthless person who kills love and cuts off relationships. In fact, there are many Jianghu people who are ten times more vicious than me."”
"In my opinion, the reason why you're so famous in Jianghu isn't entirely because of your ruthless hands," Lin Chengfang said.
The woman smiled sweetly and said," In that case, Escort Leader Lin has discovered that I, the woman who has lost my love, have another evil trait. I hope that you won't be stingy with your teachings. I'm all ears."”
"Miss, you're beautiful. I think that's the reason why you're famous."”
"Thank you for your praise, Escort Leader Lin."”
He turned around and boarded the caravan.
"Brother Lin, brilliant…brilliant." Zhang Ming walked over quickly.”
"Why?" Lin Chengfang asked.
Zhang Ming said,"The Four Heroes of Xiangyang are also people of the White Road. They are very famous in Xiangyang. It would be best if Brother Lin spared them."”
"We've only cleared half of the ambush," Lin Chengfang said."It looks like it won't be easy to clear these ten ambushes.”
The caravan continued to move forward.
Two middle-aged men stood in the middle of the road with their eyes closed.
One of them was wearing a white gown, while the other was wearing a black gown.
They all had long swords on their bodies.
Han Er's expression was solemn. He stared at the two of them for a while and said in a low voice,"Head Escort Lin…"
In fact, Lin Chengfang had also noticed these two people. They were very strange people.
The first was their calmness. They were standing in the middle of the road. They were clearly blocking the way, but when Lin Chengfang was five or six feet in front of them, the two of them still stood quietly.
The second was their indifference. There was no expression on their faces. They stood there like two clay statues and stone statues.
Lin Chengfang understood that a real swordsman was as quiet as a mountain and as fast as lightning.
The calmer the person, the faster the sword.
He took a deep breath and said,""The two of you seem to be blocking the way.”
The two of them stood still.
It was as if he did not hear Lin Chengfang's words at all.
Han Er quickly walked over and said in a low voice,"Brother Lin, do you know these two?”
"I don't know him." Lin Chengfang shook his head.”
Han Er said," These two are the famous Yin-Yang Swords in Jianghu. If both of them attack at the same time, it will be difficult for anyone to escape."”
"Okay," Lin Chengfang said,"stand aside."”
"Head Escort Lin, please be careful."”
Lin Chengfang nodded and slowly took two steps forward.""My two friends, please make way.”
The person in white slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Chengfang."Are you talking to me?"
"Not bad," Lin Chengfang said.
"What's the matter?" asked the burly man in white.
"Please make way for us," Lin Chengfang said.”
"Oh! You want us to leave?"
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare," Lin Chengfang said."Lend me some light and some space."”
The man in white sneered,"This? It's very easy. We have to follow the rules."
"What rules?" asked Lin Chengfang.
The man in white said," Brother, make way. Ten thousand taels of silver. It's about ten steps from here to the roadside!"”
Lin Chengfang smiled." Ten thousand silver taels per step. That's too expensive. I can't afford that."”
"I can't afford it, so I'll have to change places."”
Lin Chengfang could see that it was difficult to let this matter go. He smiled and said,"Two brothers, I would like to ask you about something. I wonder if two brothers are willing to tell me?”
The man in white shut his mouth and ignored Lin Chengfang. The man in black opened his mouth and said,"What is it? Tell me!"
Lin Chengfang said," The smurf accounts are unknown in the martial arts world, but the two of you are martial arts heroes. We can't afford this price. However, I wonder if we can compensate you in other aspects."”
"Compensate? How?"
"For example, what a smurf can offer…" Lin Chengfang said.
"There's one thing you must have, but I don't know if you're willing to give it to me." Black sneered.”
"Tell us. As long as we have it, we can discuss it," Lin Chengfang said.”
"Behead the lover or her head," the man in black said.”
"Oh," Lin Chengfang said,"This price is still too high. How about this, how about I offer a price?"”
"Good!" the man in black said. Drive over."
"The total price of protecting the woman who has beheaded love is from Kaifeng to Xuzhou. It's 500 taels of silver. How about we split half of it with you?"”
The man in black suddenly glared at Lin Chengfang and said,"Are you trying to make Second Master happy?”
"You're exaggerating." Lin Chengfang smiled.”
The man in black snorted coldly and said,"You're courting death."”
The cold light in the shout was like lightning as it shot over.
Lin Chengfang's sword was also unsheathed.
The sound of metal clashing rang out as the two of them exchanged seven blows.
The man in black attacked first, seizing the initiative and striking out four times.
After Lin Chengfang blocked the four swords, he attacked three more.
Both of them stood firmly on the spot, their swords still tightly gripped in their hands.
This meant that the two of them were equally skilled and the strength of their swords was about the same.
The black-clothed man's eyes were filled with surprise. Lin Chengfang was also secretly shocked. This was the first time he had met an expert since he started his cultivation, an expert who was evenly matched with him.
Four eyes stared at each other for a long time without saying a word.
Longevity Mountain had already quietly moved up, passing Han Er and Zhang Ming.
He could tell that Lin Chengfang had encountered a strong enemy when the two sword lights clashed.
Lin Chengfang might be able to withstand the attack of this man in black alone, but if the man in white was added to the mix, with the combined attack of the two swords, it was very likely that the man in black would injure Lin Chengfang in just three to five strikes.
Longevity Mountain had to be on guard against such a first-rate swordsman.
The man in black suddenly burst into laughter and said,""I didn't expect this!"
A small Baotong Escort Agency actually had such a first-class escort.
The two sides had exchanged seven blows, and Lin Chengfang had been on high alert the entire time. The man in black had yet to return his sword to its sheath, and Lin Chengfang was also holding onto his sword. He smiled faintly and said,"Thank you for your praise."
The man in black stopped laughing and his face turned cold."I wonder how many bodyguards like you are in your agency?”
"There's a Chief Escort," Lin Chengfang said."Is there a need for escorts?" There are always five or seven."
"Is everyone as skilled as you?" the man in black asked.”
Lin Chengfang said," Even ten fingers can't be evenly matched. Some are more brilliant than me, but there are also some who are slightly inferior to me."”
The black-clothed person's gaze startled the Longevity Mountain, Han Er, and Zhang Ming. He said,""Other than you, there are three of them?”
Lin Chengfang saw that the Longevity Mountain had already chosen a location and smiled, saying,""Friend, don't you think you're asking too much?”
After the black-clothed man attacked a few times, he became respectful to Lin Chengfang. He smiled and said,"That's true, but can I tell you the remaining names?”
"How should I address the two of you?”
"The Yin Yang Dual Swords," the man in black said.”
The man in white took over,"Yang Sword Ma Hou."”
"Brother Lin Chengfang," said Lin Chengfang.”
Minister Guo said," Escort Leader Lin is unwilling to leave behind his carriage. He indeed has some support. However, even if Escort Leader Lin can get past us brothers, I'm afraid he won't be able to get through the next three stages."”
"Brother Guo, you mean…" Lin Chengfang said.
"If Brother Lin is willing to be friends with me, why don't you sell us a friendship?"”
"Oh!" Lin Chengfang said.
Minister Guo laughed." Brother Lin, hand over the woman who killed his lover. We brothers are willing to guarantee that your bureau will pass and not be held back."”
"You're very kind, but if I could have kept you, I would have done so long ago," said Lin Chengfang.”
"In that case, Brother Lin won't give me face." Minister Guo snorted coldly.”
Lin Chengfang said," The escort agency has its own rules. If we hand over the person, not only will we be unable to continue operating, but the bodyguards will also not let the person in our agency off!"”
"Brother, it seems like we'll have to fight to the death." Minister Guo's gaze swept over Ma Hou.”
Lin Chengfang said,"Brother Guo, our bureau will only cover this escort as far as Xuzhou. If the two of you can really let us go, why don't you let us pass?"”
"Brother Lin, I'm not willing to risk my life to fight you, but the truth is that we don't have a choice."”
"Since Brother Guo is in such a difficult position, I'll reluctantly accept your order."”
Yang Sword Ma Hou suddenly opened his mouth and said coldly,"Lin, do you have any helpers?”
"Helper? What helper?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
"We have the Yin and Yang Dual Swords," Ma Hou said."We'll finish the battle quickly. Your Brother Lin alone is no match for us."”
Lin Cheng, Fangzheng, and the others answered. Longevity Mountain had already come out with a smile, saying,""Escort Leader Lin, I will cooperate with you.”
"Who are you, sir?" Ma Hou asked.”
"My agency's Chief Escort," said Lin Chengfang.”
Ma Hou's gaze turned towards the Longevity Mountain and said,""How should I address you?"
Longevity Mountain said,"The people in Baotong Bodyguard Agency are all unknown people. I'm afraid you wouldn't know even if I told you."”
"Boss Guo, attack!" Ma Hou waved his sword and said.”
Minister Guo coughed lightly and said,"Brother, I think we should plan this out."”
"What are you planning?" Ma Hou asked. If we use the Yin-Yang Dual Swords and leave a small escort agency behind, how can we have any face left in the martial world?”
"That's true, but…" Minister Guo said.
"There's nothing wrong with that. Attack!" Ma Hou continued.”
With a swoosh, the sword stabbed over.
He struck out with his sword, which was the starting stance of the Yin-Yang Dual Swords Combined Strike. After the strike, Ma Hou had already moved his position, regardless of whether his opponent blocked or dodged.
Behind him, there was an empty door.
If Minister Guo didn't make up for that position in time, there might have been a huge gap left in that position. Ma Hou's entire back would have been exposed to the threat of Lin Chengfang's sword.
Therefore, Minister Guo had no choice but to swing his sword in time to attack.
At the same time, he moved in another direction.
This was the perfect combination of the Yin and Yang Dual Swords. The Yin and Yang rotated like two blades of a sword. Although there were two people, their attacks were one.
Lin Chengfang was already working with all his strength. His long sword was as fast as a wheel, blocking the opponent's sword momentum.
However, the Yin-Yang Dual Swords were attacking faster and faster, and the strength of the swords was also increasing.
Lin Chengfang had no chance to fight back because of the wonderful and precise cooperation.
From the start, the Yin-Yang Dual Swords had taken the initiative.
Longevity Mountain was on full alert, but it didn't make a move.
He knew that Lin Chengfang's sword attainment had reached a certain level. The Lin family's family sword technique was famous for its speed.
The Yin-Yang Dual Swords worked together seamlessly, and their power gradually increased. The two rapidly moving figures seemed to have merged into one.
A ball of flowing sword attacked with two different forces.
The sword was a masculine force.
However, it was impossible to tell the difference between the two forces.
Lin Chengfang was immediately forced into a dilemma.
Longevity Mountain looked on coldly and nodded secretly.
If it was a one-on-one fight, Lin Chengfang could easily deal with both the Yin Sword and Yang Sword. However, when the two of them worked together, their power would increase by more than double.
Han Er had already noticed that the situation was not right. If he allowed Lin Chengfang to hold on, he might be injured by the Yin-Yang Dual Swords.
"Chief Escort Leader, Escort Leader Lin's life is getting harder and harder."”
There were no weapons on Longevity Mountain, which made Han Er even more nervous.
In fact, Longevity Mountain had already begun to move. He reached into his clothes and took out a pair of gloves to wear.
It was a pair of gloves that was the same color as his skin, but it was quite thick. It was unknown what it was made of.
All of a sudden, Longevity Mountain turned his body and rushed into the sword shadows.
He waved his palms and blocked the sword attack.
With a few soft sounds, the rapid attack of the Yin-Yang Dual Swords was slowed down by the Longevity Mountain and Lin Chengfang's sword moves.
It was this moment of slowing down that the Longevity Mountain suddenly reached out with its right hand and grabbed Ma Hou's sword.
The gloves he wore seemed to be unafraid of the blade. He grabbed the sword with his right hand and swung his left palm, cutting the sword.
With a crisp sound, the sword in Ma Hou's hand was cut into two by that palm.
Lin Chengfang's threat was reduced by half, and his sword technique suddenly changed. Three consecutive swords rushed towards Guo Xiang.
The sharp sword momentum forced Minister Guo to take three steps back.
The Yin-Yang Dual Swords 'combined power. They were separated.
Ma Hou was left with a broken sword in his hand, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
When experts exchanged blows, they would fight in an instant. While Ma Hou was stunned, his left hand, which had its sword cut off by the Longevity Mountain, grabbed his right wrist.
Minister Guo's situation wasn't much better. He was completely unable to fight back after being counterattacked by Lin Chengfang with all his might.
Longevity Mountain laughed coldly and said,"Stop."”
Lin Chengfang was a well-trained swordsman, but the Yin-Yang Dual Swords had provoked his anger. This round of fierce attacks had the intention of killing Minister Guo.
It was only when he heard the shout of the Longevity Mountain that Lin Chengfang withdrew his sword momentum.
Longevity Mountain turned his gaze and glanced at the Yin-Yang Sword. He said,"What are your plans now?"
Ma Hou threw away the broken sword in his hand and said,""If you want to kill me, then kill me.”
Minister Guo let out a sigh of relief and said,""The Yin-Yang Dual Swords have suffered an unprecedented defeat today. Please give us a quick death.”
As he spoke, he dropped the sword in his right hand and closed his eyes.
The Longevity Mountain suddenly loosened Ma Hou's wrist and said,"Please go ahead!"
"You're letting us go?" Ma Hou was startled.”
Longevity Mountain said,"Yes, you two have already done your best. It's also worth inviting two friends to help."”
Minister Guo glanced back at Ma Hou and said,""Brother, let's go!
Ma Hou sighed and turned to leave.
The Longevity Mountain looked at the backs of the two of them as they left, then turned around and said to Lin Chengfang,""Brother, do you think I shouldn't have let them go?”
"These two people have spent a lot of effort on the swordsmanship of the joint battle," Lin Chengfang said."It's a pity to kill them.”
Longevity Mountain glanced at Zhang Ming and Han Er said,""How is the reputation of the Yin and Yang Dual Swords in the martial world?”
" Wan 'er is very famous," Zhang Ming said." But he has always been active on the Northwest Road and rarely enters Tongguan."”
Han Er said," These two people are good and evil. They don't have any evil deeds, but they are cold and fierce. They get angry every day. They don't distinguish between good and evil. They are extremely vicious.”
"In that case, it's time to give them a taste of their own medicine."”
The Longevity Mountain suddenly turned back to look at the carriage that the Love Slayer was riding on and said,""Miss, can you please get off the carriage? This old man has something to ask.”
The curtain of the carriage opened, and the woman slowly walked down. She bowed and said,""Chief Escort Leader, what do you need?"
"Miss, you must have seen the fight between us and the Yin-Yang Dual Swords," Longevity Mountain said.”
"The Yin-Yang Dual Swords are famous in Jianghu, but they were still defeated by the two of you."”
"Miss, don't drink too much rice soup. I don't eat this…" Longevity Mountain smiled.
"Although the Yin-Yang Dual Swords have been defeated, the next wave of force that will block us will be ten times stronger than the Yin-Yang Dual Swords. How should I deal with this?"”
"I won't hide it from you, Chief Escort. I can't use my True Qi. If I'm not injured, they won't be able to deal with me in Kaifeng Prefecture alone."”
Longevity Mountain said," Miss, after the Yin-Yang Dual Swords incident, this old man deeply feels that these ten obstacles are not easy to break through. If we can't break through, we might fall here. It's not a big deal if the Baotong Bodyguard Agency's reputation is destroyed. I'm afraid we can't protect you to Xu Prefecture."”
"As long as you do your best, it doesn't matter if you can save my little sister's life."”
Longevity Mountain said,"That's all I have to say. Please get in the car, miss!"”
The woman turned around and walked a few steps before suddenly stopping."Chief Escort, do you want me to invite a few people over to help you?”
"Oh!" Longevity Mountain said. You can even ask someone to help you."
"Little sister, give it a try," said the woman.”
"Is there anyone else besides Brother Tian?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
"This, I don't dare to boast. How about we talk about it after we meet them?"”
The woman turned around and whispered a few words to Tian Kun. Tian Kun nodded and suddenly left.
His movement technique was very fast. With a leap of several feet, he moved like a gust of wind.
Lin Chengfang looked at the lightning-fast movement technique and nodded."This Brother Tian is so cultured. He is actually willing to be a carriage driver.”
The woman's pink neck suddenly turned red and she smiled."Escort Leader Lin, he is just a firefly, how can he compete with your Brother Lin Haoyue?”
The people and vehicles of Baotong Bodyguard Agency stopped completely, as if they were waiting for Tian Kun's reply.
The woman raised her hand to tidy up her hair and whispered,""Chief Escort Leader, Brother Lin, do you want to sit in Little Sister's caravan?”
Longevity Mountain said," There's no need. We can see the enemy's movements and movements from here. It'll be better for us to be prepared."”
The woman smiled and said," Both of you are gentlemen. I don't dare to invite you again. Let's talk under the shade of the tree!"”
Zhang Ming, Han Er, and the runner immediately surrounded the carriage. The three of them each chose a favorable situation to monitor the surroundings.
"Miss, isn't there a little brother in the caravan?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
" He's quite young," the woman said with a smile." But he's not young. He's quite a famous figure in the Central Plains."”
Longevity Mountain and Lin Chengfang weren't people who had been in the martial world for a long time. Although the Love Severing Woman had already made it clear, the two of them still didn't know.
Noticing the two's stunned expressions, the woman smiled and said,"It seems that the two of you are very young people who have been walking around in the martial arts world.”
"Miss, are we not experienced enough?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
"He's called the Three-Foot Golden Boy, Ding Sheng. Does his age count?" This year, there should be Gan Si or Wu. Compared to his little sister?
He's still one or two years older."
"Miss Gan is only two or three years old this year?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
"Why? Do I look a little older than my actual age?"”
Lin Chengfang said," That's not the case. In fact, you look like you're ten years old. It's just that you've been famous in Jianghu for many years."”
" That's right," the woman said." I debuted when I was seventeen and became famous within two years. It should have been three or four years."”
"It's rare!" Lin Chengfang said. It was not easy to become famous in two years.”
"This is an opportunity," said the Love Slayer."Let's talk about it with your bureau and Brother Lin! If you can really send me safely to Xu Prefecture, your bureau and your Brother Lin will become famous in one fell swoop.”
"In that case, we still have to rely on Young Lady."”
"I wouldn't dare to do that. The main thing is for everyone to protect my lover."”
Lin Chengfang looked around and said," Miss, there's something that I'm very worried about. What do you think?"”
"What's the matter?" asked the woman.
" I heard that there's an organization that specializes in killing people in the martial world," Lin Chengfang said." They pay a price for their lives. Even if we're lucky enough to get through these ambushes and interception, I wonder if they'll find the organization that kills people?"”
"I hope they won't look for him," said the Love Slayer.”
"We hope so, but I wonder if they will do the same?" Lin Chengfang said.”
"If they really want to find such an organization to take my life, then I won't hesitate anymore…"
She didn't seem to have finished her sentence, but she suddenly stopped talking.
Lin Chengfang thought to himself, From her tone, it seems that she has nothing to do with those organizations.”
"Miss, if they really find us, what will we do?"”
"Since that organization is willing to pay for their lives, if I can be entrusted by them, I can naturally be entrusted by me as well," said the Love Slayer.”
"Oh!" Lin Chengfang said.
"That's a matter of comparing silver. If they can offer 10,000 taels, I can offer 20,000."”
"Are you very rich?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
"I have some savings. I can still take out a million taels of silver."”
"A rich man!" Lin Chengfang said. However, the more they gathered, the more sand they could form a tower.”
"I can borrow it too, and there will be many people who will lend it to me," said the Love Slayer.”
" Miss," Lin Chengfang sighed and said," since you know that there is such an organization in the martial world, why didn't you ask them to protect you to Xuzhou? Why did you drag our Baotong Bodyguard Agency into this?"”
" That organization is only responsible for killing people," said the Love Slayer." Moreover, they have to set a target. According to the identity of the killer, they will haggle over the price. Besides, it's not easy to find them."”
"You have so many enemies, so you must be their biggest guest."”
" I don't have any enemies," the Love Slayer said." It's just that they hate me. I don't want to kill anyone, and I don't have anyone to kill. It's just that others don't want to let me go, and I don't want to wait for death. That's how I made many enemies."”
"Miss, why do these people want to kill you?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
"Can't you ask them?”
" No need to ask," Lin Chengfang said." The truth is obvious. They want revenge because you hurt their brothers and nephews. They want revenge. This is hatred."”
" Head Escort Lin, I won't kill a person for no reason," the woman said." Things will rot on their own and then be eaten by worms. My reputation is bad, and everyone in the world knows about it. Yet, they came to recruit me…"
"So, you killed them?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
" I didn't," the woman said." Some of them were ashamed and couldn't break the shackles of a gentleman, so they killed themselves. Some of them were jealous and fought with each other. Some of them were executed according to the sect's rules.”
"Miss, I have a word of advice for you. Put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot."”
"Brother Lin, I don't have a butcher's knife, so I don't have a knife to use. My weapon is my face, my curvy body, and my personality."”
"Oh!" Lin Chengfang said.
"I can change my personality, but I can't ruin my face."”
Lin Chengfang sighed and hesitated.
He suddenly remembered that as an escort, he shouldn't ask too much.
At this moment, Tian Kun rushed over.
The two people behind Tian Kun were the Yin-Yang Dual Swords, Minister Guo and Ma Hou.
Lin Chengfang was stunned.
He was on alert while paying attention to the enemy's situation.
The Love Slayer stood up and faced the Yin-Yang Dual Swords. She smiled and said,""It's been a long time."
It turned out that they had met before and were actually acquaintances.
Yin Sword Minister Guo sneered and said,"Miss, it's not easy to see you.”
" The two of you were entrusted by someone to kill my sister," the woman said." If my sister suddenly appears, the two sides will be enemies. Would the two of you attack?" Is it better not to make a move?"
"Young Lady, you always seem to be in the right."“
" Both of you," the woman said." Now that you've given your friends an explanation and done your best, I've invited both of you back. I have a favor to ask of you."”
"Please tell me," Minister Guo said.
"Are the two of you willing to accept my invitation?"”
"Why would I accept your invitation?" Guo Xiangjie asked.”
"Protect my little sister to Xu Prefecture," said the woman.”
Minister Guo smiled." The bodyguards of the Baotong Bodyguard Agency are probably the best in the world. It seems that they don't need the help of defeated generals like us."”
" I invited the two of you because of Baotong Escort Agency's influence," said the Love Slayer." They are very impressed by the power of the two swords."”
Ma Hou said," I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed. I lost and my sword was broken. What's there to talk about?"”
" I've already made myself clear," the woman said." I hope you can give me a clear answer as to whether you're willing to help. Naturally, I won't let you help me for nothing…"
"What about the Baotong Bodyguard Agency?" Guo Xiangjie asked.”
"Chief Escort Wan, your words are of great weight. You promised to protect me to Xu Prefecture, so you won't change your mind midway."”
"Miss, you asked us to come here just to help Baotong Bodyguard Agency?" Ma Hou asked.”
" That's not it." The woman replied." I invited you two here to protect me. Not only will I be safe and sound throughout the journey, but I also want to borrow your help when we reach Xuzhou."”
"Miss, how about we go to Xuzhou and wait for you?" Minister Guo asked.”
"I've probably lived for ten years to reach Xuzhou," said the woman."What's important is that we still have a few more rounds to pass.”
Minister Guo smiled bitterly and said," Even if we are slightly stronger, we can't stop Baotong Bodyguard Agency. With the help of us brothers, it won't be difficult to pass the next two tests. The problem is the last one."”
"Who's guarding the last checkpoint?”
"It seems to be led by a senior monk from Shaolin," said Minister Guo.”
"The most important thing is that along the way, you were able to easily break through a few ambushes. That's why they raised their vigilance and readjusted their forces to focus on the last pass."”
"Do you know what the Buddhist name of that Shaolin monk is?" The woman pondered for a while and said.”
" I don't know," said Minister Guo." That eminent monk seems to be very mysterious. We've never seen him before."”
"That's strange," said the woman."I've never been better than the people of Shaolin Temple.”
"I heard that there are also secular disciples under Shaolin," Lin Chengfang said.”
" That's right," the woman smiled." Shaolin Temple also has secular disciples. However, as far as I can remember, I've never recruited anyone from Shaolin Temple, unless I've been deceived."”
"What?" Lin Chengfang asked. When a lady was dating someone, she had to first understand his background?”
"Yes!" But I don't have to ask him, they'll tell me everything themselves.”
"I see." Lin Chengfang smiled.”
Ma Hou coughed lightly." I have a few words to say. They're stuck in my throat. I have to say them."”
"Please say it then," said the woman.
Ma Hou said," We were invited by someone to come and help. Moreover, we just fought with the people from Baotong Bodyguard Agency. Now, we've made a big turn and turned back to kill them. We really can't afford to lose face."”
" Oh, so Brother Ma has so many concerns. I'm in a dangerous situation, so I'm asking for your help. I'm the one who's asking, but it's up to the two of you whether you want to help or not. So, I don't think you need to make things difficult for me. If there's anything you can't do to save face, then please go ahead. I don't dare to stay too long either. If you help me, I'll repay you. If you don't help me, then we'll both be in debt."”
Ma Hou was stunned for a moment before he said," Miss, you've misunderstood. We were invited here this time, and we really didn't know. We're here to deal with you. When we found out the inside story, we couldn't step down anymore. We were half willing to stay and help you. However, after hearing that Baotong Bodyguard Agency had passed several rounds, it aroused my brother's competitive spirit…"
"How about Baotong Bodyguard Agency?"”
"Very brilliant," said Minister Guo."I'm afraid you can't find such a brilliant escort in the few big escort agencies in the world today.”
His gaze turned to Ma Hou and continued,"Brother, we've already decided to help. It doesn't matter if we help earlier or later.”
"Boss Guo is the boss after all, he can see things much more clearly."”
"Brother will follow the boss 'decision," Ma Hou said.”
"Little sister has been plotted against. She will be able to recover in about three days. At that time, little sister will also be counted as a part of it."”
"We've decided to leave, so we won't change our mind. Miss, please get in the car!" said Minister Guo. If someone could kill you, they would have to kill the Yin-Yang Dual Swords first.”
"Thank you, both of you…" The woman smiled.
He paused and continued," However, snakes have heads, birds have wings, and armies have commanders. Since you two are here to help, you can't just call the guests your masters. You must listen to Escort Leader Wan and Escort Leader Lin of the Baotong Escort Agency."”
"Miss, you don't have to worry about this. Get in the car!" If we want to go through, we have to go through it earlier. Delaying time will do us no good.”
Turning to face the Longevity Mountain, Lin Chengfang cupped his fists and said,""Please tell us what the Yin-Yang Dual Swords can do.”
"You two are too serious," said Longevity Mountain.”
Lin Chengfang thought to himself,'This woman is really something. She actually made these two great villains of the pugilistic world submit to her.”
He thought about it and continued," To be honest, we still need the two of you to help. We don't know much about the enemy's situation. We don't dare to dispatch them, but we have to discuss it properly.”
The cooperation had already been established. Moreover, in terms of the situation, Baotong Bodyguard Agency really needed an expert to help. Moreover, Lin Chengfang suddenly realized that the Love Slayer, a little demoness who was famous in Jianghu, was like a treasure trove. The more he dug, the more abundant she became. The more he dug, the more magical he found her. This was the opposite of what everyone usually did.
Guo Xiang invited Lin Chengfang over and said with a smile,"Brother Lin Guang, if you have any questions, we will tell you everything we know.”
At this moment, the Love Slayer had already boarded the caravan and had also lowered the curtains.
Lin Chengfang instructed them to get ready to go as he said,"Brother Guo, the underworld and the underworld have always been like ice and charcoal. Why would we cooperate this time?”
Minister Guo said," That's because the Love Slayer has many enemies. Regardless of whether it's black or white, most of the people invited have some hatred for her. However, there are also some who came because of her reputation. This has led to an ancient legend. The black and white sides have joined forces.”
"Other than the two of you, is there anyone else who came with the same goal as you? They were obviously participating in the assassination, but they secretly wanted to help."”
"There are probably still people, but will they be with us brothers?" Minister Guo said. If they were also willing to turn around immediately, it would be hard to say.”
"There should be someone in charge of this matter," Lin Chengfang said."I wonder which respectable person it is?”
Minister Guo said," It's a bit strange. The person who invited us only said that he was going to deal with a demoness that everyone in Jianghu hates. The names below are from the underworld and the underworld in the four provinces of the Central Plains. None of them are famous, but they have a wide range of eyes and ears. They have indeed invited a lot of people.”
"This is really a strange thing," Lin Chengfang said."It's just an invitation letter with no end, but there are actually so many experts rushing over."”
Minister Guo said," That's the beauty of it. If there's a famous person in the book, the invitees must weigh the weight of the person invited and see if they're qualified to be the host. At least half of the people will come. It's precisely because everyone is curious that they can't help but rush here. Since they're here, they should take it easy. Most of them participated in this interception.”
"It makes sense, Brother Guo. But when Brother Guo arrives, there should be someone to receive him!" Lin Chengfang said.”
Minister Guo said," The wonderful thing about the invitation letter is that it states the time and place. The big inns are not in Kaifeng City. The ones who receive them are the waiters. Everything is arranged properly. However, as for who will be in charge of the matter, I still can't say until now."”
"Brother Guo, do you think this matter is a little strange?" Lin Chengfang pondered for a while and said."This, this one has also thought about it. There is such a person who is secretly hosting the wedding. However, he is very talented and has always been behind the scenes. Everything is done by others, but he has never been willing to show himself.”
The caravan had already begun to move forward. The rumbling of the wheels broke the silence of the wilderness.
Lin Chengfang let out a breath and said,""Brother Guo, is that Shaolin senior monk the leader?”
"Shaolin Temple has always been open and aboveboard in their actions," said Minister Guo."It seems that they didn't need to resort to such tricks."”
"We'll meet the person in charge sooner or later," Lin Chengfang said with a smile."I think he's already spent so much effort on this, so he won't be able to stay out of it."”
"Even if we did, I'm afraid we wouldn't know."”
Lin Chengfang suddenly changed the topic and said,""Brother Guo, this little brother has a few words that I really want to say, but I'm afraid that if I say it properly, Brother Guo will take offense.”
"Brother Lin, do you want to ask us why we're so used to beheading women?" asked Minister Guo with a laugh.”
"That's exactly what you're doing, brother!" Lin Chengfang said.”
"Brother Lin, don't you think that a woman who has cut off her love has a kind of alluring charm?”
"Oh!" Lin Chengfang said.
"If we can safely reach Xu Prefecture, I'm afraid that Brother Lin will unknowingly become a servant of a lover."”
"I don't think so, brother." Lin Chengfang smiled.”
"By the time you realize it, you'll be unable to extricate yourself. This is what it means to be seduced by someone else…" Minister Guo said.
She let out a sigh and continued,"Brother Lin, the words 'cut off lovers' come from the fact that others are too passionate, so much so that she has no choice but to cut them off."”
"I understand." Lin Chengfang nodded.”
As they conversed, they arrived at the location of another interception.
Three people stood in a row on the official road.
Three people wearing sheepskin robes.
"Do you know these three people, Young Brother Lin?" asked Minister Guo.”
"Brother, your experience is too shallow. You don't know the three masters!" Lin Chengfang said.”
" The Three Monsters of Snow Valley," Guo Xiangjie said." These three people live in a valley that is covered in cold snow. They wear this leather robe all year round, and it has become their symbol. Regardless of the weather, they always dress like this.”
"Why do they wear their leather robes inside out?" asked Lin Chengfang.”
Minister Guo laughed and said," Brother Lin, although you've been in the martial world for a long time, your observation and intelligence are not something ordinary people can compare to. I deliberately made it very vague. I hope that Brother Lin can ask again."”
"Is there something shocking in between?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
Minister Guo said," That's right. I heard that there are hidden weapons on that leather robe. They are called wool needles. These needles are mixed in the wool. I don't know when it will suddenly shoot out."”
"What method did they use to send it out?" Lin Chengfang asked.”
Minister Guo said," I'm not sure about that. I've only heard legends. I've never seen how he used the poisonous needles. It's said that the needles are made of wool and are silent. It's hard to guard against them."”
Lin Chengfang said," Wool Needle. It's mixed into the wool of the sheep. When fighting, it uses its fists and kicks to shoot out poisonous needles. It's really a hidden weapon that's not easy to dodge.”
Minister Guo glanced back at Ma Hou and said,""Brother, shall we clear this stage?”
"Alright!" Ma Hou said. Let's attack together."
Lin Chengfang smiled and said,"I don't dare to trouble the two of you. I'll let Xiaobei handle this."”
He suddenly stepped forward and approached five feet in front of the three monsters.
Lin Chengfang took the opportunity to size up the three of them.
The three of them were pale, as white as snow, so white that it was transparent. The three of them stared at Lin Chengfang with their six eyes.
But the three of them kept their mouths shut!
He refused to speak.
"I'm Lin Chengfang of the Baotong Bodyguard Agency. Greetings, three of you."”
The white-robed man standing in the middle sneered and said,"Haven't you heard of this name?"
"I'm a fledgling, so I'm not well known. Naturally, the three of you don't know me."”
"What do you want to say?" asked one of them.”
"Please make way," Lin Chengfang said.”
"There's a rule in Jianghu about borrowing roads. How do you plan to do it?" the middle-aged man asked.”
Lin Chengfang said," My name is a small escort agency. I don't have money or power. With your reputation in the martial world, you probably won't touch my agency's escort."”
The middle-aged man said,"Your Excellency is saying the exact opposite. Us brothers are going to rob your bureau."”
"The things we're protecting aren't yellow or white goods. They're not worth anything…" Lin Chengfang said.
The middle-aged man said,"I know you're protecting people. People are living treasures and can be priceless."”
