In the Hundred Li Desolate Ridge, the rugged ancient road meandered like a snake. The setting sun was still shining, and the west wind was blowing. The whistling wind swept up the remaining leaves on the branches and sent them flying in the air. The world was desolate.
Creak... Creak... A dull sound of hoofbeats accompanied by the creaking of wheels broke the silence of this desolate ancient path. It startled several birds that had returned to their nests and flew up, circling around.
In the mountain valley, a covered carriage was moving along the uneven ancient road. A muscular man sat on the shaft of the carriage. His pair of strong hands tightly grasped the stiff rope, trying his best to control the swaying body and maintain the smooth progress of the carriage as much as possible.
Behind the carriage, six valiant warriors wearing tight clothes and carrying long sabers followed closely behind. All of them had solemn expressions, and their gazes constantly swept across the surrounding scenery as they advanced. Clearly, they were the guards accompanying the carriage.
"Is Second Young Master alright? After crossing this mountain valley, they would be out of the ancient road. The road ahead would not be so bumpy. " The man on the shaft of the carriage shouted loudly. He turned around and looked at the carriage behind him. He frowned slightly and had a worried expression.
Uncle Wolf! I'm fine. I can still hold on. It was just that everyone was tired! " A clear and bright voice came from the carriage. It sounded a little tired and a little immature, like an underage youth.
He laughed out loud! "Second Young Master need not worry, these clan guards are all full of Profound Energy, this little mountain road and ditch would not tire them out. "It's just that Second Young Master's body is so thin and weak. We've been ordered by the Master to come to the Medicine Valley to take you back to the clan. If anything happens to you on the way, I really don't know how to explain it," Uncle Hai shouted loudly, seeming a little worried.
"Sigh." The youth in the carriage sighed,"If it wasn't for the fact that he had terminated his meridians, how could he have stayed in this medicine valley for ten years, causing his entire body to be filled with the smell of medicinal pills?" As he spoke, the carriage shook violently again, and with difficulty climbed out of the potholes and slowly drove onto the flat road.
The sky gradually darkened, and the twilight swallowed the last rays of the setting sun. The surrounding scenery became hazy.
The carriage suddenly sped up. The sound of hooves was like thunder, and a cloud of dust rose up on the road. If he didn't rush to Pingling Town before dawn, he would probably have to sleep in the wilderness tonight.
"Yo!" Uncle Hai, who was driving the carriage, suddenly shouted, and the carriage came to a halt.
Uncle Wolf, what's wrong?" The youth in the van asked.
"Second Young Master, there might be some trouble ahead!”Uncle Wolf said in a serious tone.
The young man in the carriage slightly pulled open the curtain. In the hazy twilight, he saw three figures with their heads and faces wrapped in black cloth. They stood in a row in front of the carriage. They did not speak or move, and their auras were cold. Only six eyes that flashed with a cold light were exposed, making them seem rather cold.
Was it a mountain bandit robbery? Or bandits? Why would there be bandits gathering in this desolate mountain range? No one would be stupid enough to come to this uninhabited wasteland to rob merchants. Moreover, there were only two kinds of people who dared not to look at others with their true faces. One was an assassin, and the other was an assassin! The young man told Uncle Wolf about his speculation. Uncle Wolf was a little annoyed at this moment. The three men in black suddenly blocked the front of the car like ghosts. They were silent and unperturbed. Based on this movement technique, he knew that if they came to find trouble, the trouble would be really big.
No way! His group was so ordinary that they couldn't be any more ordinary. To say something that hurt their self-esteem, they weren't even qualified to be hunted. And the Second Young Master in the carriage, who had been suffering from a long-term illness and had been isolated from the world for ten years, was even more insignificant than an ant. How could such an inferior group suddenly become a target? This was too absurd and unbelievable.
At the same time, the six martial artists behind the caravan moved to Uncle Hai's sides in a flash. They held their sabers and were in a state of alert. Their movements were swift and agile. It was obvious that they had received strict training.
Uncle Wolf looked around and thought that he might be able to catch one of the men in black, but he didn't know if his guards could stop the other two. His heart was perturbed, but he still had the thought that the other party might not have come for him at all. It was just a false alarm.
" If you have doubts, you can ask." The young man in the car seemed to know what he was thinking and reminded him. Uncle Wolf was stunned when he heard that. His wild guesses were indeed useless and would only confuse people. What was going to come would eventually come. Whether it was a blessing or a curse, sooner or later, he had to face it head-on. He could not hide from it.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my path?”Uncle Hai opened his mouth and shouted. His voice was like a great bell, shaking the surroundings to strengthen his momentum.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was no response for a long time. The cold wind howled, and the world was silent.
"You don't look like bandits or bandits. There are only two types of people in such attire. One is an assassin, and the other is a killer.”Uncle Wolf borrowed the youth's words and probed.
"Wrong!" Someone among the men in black suddenly spat out a word. His voice was cold and chilling, making one's hair stand on end.
A simple word completely overturned the young man's initial guess. If it wasn't a bandit or an assassin, who else could it be? What do you want?
"Leave the caravan behind! You can leave unscathed. The man in black in the middle squeezed out a few words coldly. There was no emotion in his voice. The person who spoke seemed to be the leader of the three.
When Uncle Wolf heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. The other party was actually here for the Second Young Master. How was this possible? There must be a mistake somewhere? Uncle Wolf suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.
"Did Your Excellency find the wrong target? Do you know who is inside the van?”Uncle Wolf probed again, sincerely hoping that it was just a misunderstanding.
"Humph! Red Leaf City, Lu Family's Second Young Master, Lu Suifeng. It's from the Medicine Valley. There's no mistake!" The man in black spoke word by word, striking everyone with a sonorous voice.
Uncle Hai's body trembled in surprise, and his face was full of horror. He had lost his calm and experienced nature. His hand unconsciously gripped the hilt of the saber at his waist, and he was about to unsheathe it. He had never thought that the other party would know their whereabouts so well.
"Who…are you? What do you want? "It doesn't matter who we are. What's important is that we can leave safely by leaving the caravan behind. Otherwise, the people present would die in the wilderness and their blood would splash on the ancient path. With every sentence the man in black said, the killing intent on his body increased a little, and his aura was cold and intimidating.
"Your Excellency covers your head and face, so you naturally don't dare to show your true face. How can the people of my Red Leaf City's Lu Clan be fooled! If you want to keep the caravan, you have to step over our corpses! " Since there was no room for negotiation, Uncle Wolf raised his eyebrows, as if he had suddenly become a different person. His calmness revealed a heroic spirit that was not afraid of death.
The black scarf covered his face, so the expression of the black-clothed man could not be seen. However, a hint of anger flashed across his eyes. Then, he slightly raised his hands, which were wrapped in black clothes, to both sides. The two men in black clothes beside him suddenly opened their arms, as if they had spread their black wings. They were like two bats in the dark night, leaping into the air and pouncing straight at Uncle Wolf, who had been sitting on the shaft of the carriage all this time.
The three cold sword lights crossed the space of more than ten meters and slashed down from the sky. The guards on Uncle Wolf's sides unsheathed their long sabers at almost the same time. Six snow-like saber lights slashed at the two bats that arrived in an instant.
Clang clang clang! The sound of weapons clashing could be heard in the air, and sparks and silver stars flew everywhere. A piercing cold light suddenly pierced through the saber light that filled the sky, passing over everyone's heads, and shot towards the curtains of the caravan like an arrow…
biu！
Uncle Wolf, who had been sitting on the shaft of the carriage, moved. As he leaped up, the long saber at his waist was unsheathed with a bang. It slashed at the piercing cold light with a sharp sound of wind breaking.
Boom! The saber light and sword shadow collided in the air, creating a loud explosion. Uncle Hai suddenly felt his arm shake violently, and the long saber flew out of his hand. He couldn't even take one move from his opponent. His entire body was sent flying by a powerful force. The man in black's sharp and cold sword light swept away the long saber. It was powerful and went straight through the curtain of the carriage.
The black-clothed man who was in the middle of the attack actually let out an earth-shaking cry and threw away the longsword in his hand as if he had been electrocuted…It was actually a broken sword that had lost its blade! His eyes revealed a look of horror as his body shot backward, making a turn in the air and quickly disappearing into the hazy twilight.
The other two men in black were surrounded by the guards. Not only did they not get attacked, but they also seemed to be at ease. After a few exchanges, they avoided the strong and attacked the weak. The two guards were slightly careless and instantly drank blood from their swords and fell to the ground.
In terms of cultivation and martial skills, these guards were inferior to the men in black by more than one level. If it wasn't for the fact that he had some misgivings about these guards 'fearless fighting style, the battle would have ended long ago.
Unexpectedly, the two men in black saw from the corner of their eyes that their leader seemed to have run into some bad luck. Otherwise, why would he suddenly abandon the two of them? He didn't even have time to say hello before he flew away in panic.
Amidst their astonishment, the two of them did not have the mood to continue fighting. They exchanged a look, waved their swords to force their opponents back, and both of them fled in panic.
A thrilling and bloody battle came to an abrupt end in the time of lightning. The four guards who were still standing were at a loss for what to do. They stood there in a daze until they felt a pain in their bodies. Only then did they realize that in the short battle with the other party, each of them had more or less left several sword marks of different depths on their bodies, and their bodies were covered in blood. Two of his companions were lying in a pool of blood at his feet, and it was unknown if they were dead or alive.
"Second Young Master! " Uncle Wolf staggered toward the carriage from several feet away. His clothes were torn, blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth, and his voice had become hoarse. That blow just now had shaken his internal organs to the point that he almost fainted. The heavy blow sent him flying eight to nine meters away, crashing into a rock. He had no idea what happened next. When he struggled to get up, the surroundings had returned to silence. In an instant, the first thought that came to his mind was "Second Young Master"!
What happened to the Second Young Master? Had he been beheaded and killed by a sword through his chest? He really didn't have the courage to think about it. However, based on the extraordinary strength that the black-clothed man had displayed, it was almost certain that the Second Young Master had already met with misfortune.
"Poor Second Young Master! "I can't help but feel sad." Second Young Master!
