Xu Zhutao sneered and did not answer. He also drew his sword. The two were ready to fight. Peng Zhengyi knew that he could not say anything more. He knew that his martial arts were no match for Zhong Tianchou. He could only stand far away and wait for the opportunity. Zhong Tianchou was a senior in the martial arts world, so he naturally wouldn't make the first move. Xu Zhutao, however, didn't hold back. He raised his sword and stabbed at Zhong Tianchou with Golden Crow Rising.
Zhong Tianchou slightly bent his body and straightened his slender body to avoid Xu Zhutao's attack. He stretched his left foot backward and kicked his right foot horizontally. Sou, three sword strikes in a row, bringing up three big sword flowers, directly attacking Xu Zhutao. This was the unique skill of the Seven Flying Dragon Moves, the Three Appearances of Cloud Dragon.
Xu Zhutao didn't dodge. He drew back his sword. At the right time, he was fast and accurate. He counterattacked Zhong Tianchou's sword light. Zhong Tianchou slapped his sword flat and suddenly turned."Divine Dragon Wags Tail", he stabbed at Xu Zhutao's left side. Xu Zhutao took a deep breath and jumped to the right, just in time to avoid the sword. Zhong Tianchou's sword missed, and he had no place to lean on. His feet sank, and he fell to the ground. At this time, Xu Zhutao had changed his host." Instant Wind and Cloud ", Shua, he also used three sword strikes to attack Zhong Tianchou's three vital points. It was both accurate and ruthless. Peng Zhengyi could not help but sigh. If it were him, it would be difficult to dodge this sword.
Zhong Tianchou didn't dare to block it with his sword. He lowered his head and dodged Xu Zhutao's sword light. The sword light brushed past his head, and he was so shocked that he broke out in cold sweat. He didn't dare to underestimate his opponent anymore. He took every step carefully and began to fight with Xu Zhutao. Only after he carefully executed the technique did he realize that the Seven Forms of Flying Dragon could make the two dragons of Chizhou reign supreme in the martial arts world. It was no small matter. The sword shadows were like the wind, and the sword strikes were ruthless. They were like a green dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws in the air.
Peng Zhengyi had never seen such a huge battle between the two of them before. He only saw sword shadows flying down like meteors, flowing from the sky to the ground, and then leaping into the sky.
Xu Zhutao had not fought many enemies, and this man was the one with the highest martial arts skills he had ever fought since he came down from the mountain. He had reserved 30% of his strength to fight with Xu Zhutao patiently. The two of them had exchanged ten moves, not to mention twenty moves, they had even exchanged thirty moves. Peng Zhengyi's heart skipped a beat. He did not want to offend the Chizhou Double Dragons, so he suddenly shouted,"Brother Xu, please stop. Hero Zhong said that we would see the outcome within twenty moves. Now that twenty moves have passed, I believe Hero Zhong is a man of his word and will not fight again.”
Hearing this, Zhong Tianchou's face fell. He was using the Golden Dragon Claw to strike down. Hearing this, he suddenly retracted his sword and extended his legs. He spun his sword horizontally and wanted to turn around and escape."It's not that easy to escape!" The person had already appeared behind him like a ghost. The sword in his hand stabbed into his right shoulder in an extremely strange move. Zhong Tianchou's sword fell to the ground with a clang. He was so shocked that his face was pale and covered in cold sweat."This person's movement technique is as fast as a ghost. He didn't use his full strength to fight with me earlier, so he's really terrifying.”
Xu Zhutao withdrew his sword and asked coldly,""You are a famous figure in the martial arts world.”
Zhong Tianchou was even more terrified. He was afraid that this person would kill him in a fit of anger. He immediately turned around and knelt down. Just as he was about to say that he wanted to be his disciple, he heard Xu Zhutao say,"I'm just a newcomer to the martial arts world. I'm not qualified to take in disciples yet.”
Zhong Tianchou knew that he wouldn't kill him now, but he was afraid that he would regret it later, so he quickly fled.
Peng Zhengyi walked over and patted Xu Zhutao on the shoulder."Brother, I really admire you. From now on, the martial arts world will depend on your skills.”
Xu Zhutao touched his nose bridge and felt a little sweat. He quietly returned to his room. He knew that if he wanted to be famous, his current martial arts were still far from enough. Even if he was to defeat Zhong Tianchou, it would not be easy for him to win, let alone others.
Peng Zhengyi saw that not only was Xu Zhutao not happy, but his face was also full of worry. He did not know what Xu Zhutao was thinking." But at least we've passed the crisis. We'll talk about the future tomorrow."”He muttered to himself and silently returned to his room.
At this moment, a rooster was crowing in the distance.
The escort carriage left Shangjin and was already out of Huguang. Peng Zhengyi felt that something was wrong. Along the way, there were flying cavalry coming and going. The people on the horses were all Jianghu people dressed in different clothes. Their clothes were different, and their expressions were also unrelated. However, their faces were covered with dust, as if they had run a long way.
They started their journey at dawn, and it was already noon. The troops were also a little tired. It was supposed to be time for dinner, but Peng Zhengyi did not dare to be careless and continued to urge the carriage forward.
When they were about to reach Shanyang, a forest appeared on the road ahead. The forest was not very big, but it was the place where the strong beam appeared. Peng Zhengyi could not help but frown and think.
All of a sudden, a few strong horses galloped out from the forest two miles ahead of them, followed by two large groups of knights. In a moment, they had already galloped past the escort team. The knights on the horses were all strong men in black clothes. They were also wearing black straw hats, black pointed shoes, and black leggings. The most amazing thing was that even the horses were black, and on their backs, they carried a sword that looked like a sword. It was an outer sect weapon that looked like a saber but wasn't. It was black and didn't have a trace of luster. It wasn't made of steel or iron. It was unknown what it was made of.
Xu Zhutao and Zhao Yumei also felt that things were not good. They drove their horses to the front of the escort team, paying attention to their safety.
This group of people rushed past, as if they had not seen the escort team. They split into two groups and rushed north from the front of the escort team. Peng Zhengyi was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. He counted secretly. There were more than 40 people. He knew that they were not here for his escort. He heaved a sigh of relief, but he did not know why this large group of people was dispatched.
In a short while, another seven or eight knights rushed over. This time, they were all white in color. The knights on their horses were all young women, but they were also dressed in tight clothes. They brushed past the escort team.
Xu Zhutao exclaimed and turned around to look at Peng Zhengyi. Peng Zhengyi, who was behind him, also felt that the situation was too strange. He couldn't tell what the two groups of men and women were. Peng Zhengyi couldn't help but secretly hope that these two groups of knights had nothing to do with his escort carriage.
So he urged his horse to catch up and said to Xu Zhutao,"I also think that the road is not right. When we reach Shanyang, it's best to rest early…"
As he was speaking, the sound of hooves could be heard. The group of female knights who had just passed by galloped back. The leading woman had a pretty face. She glanced at the escort team a few times as if she was looking for someone. After a pause, she sped past the escort team again.
Peng Zhengyi thought to himself," This doesn't seem like someone from the underworld who's stepping on plates. Moreover, there's no one in the vicinity who's setting up a camp. Then, what kind of people are these? They have such a grand aura and momentum."”
In the blink of an eye, the escort team was already close to the forest. Suddenly, there was a loud sound of hooves behind them. Peng Zhengyi was about to turn around to check when there was a sound in the forest in front of him. In a moment, dozens of strong horses appeared. At this time, the horse team behind them was also outflanking them. Thus, Wuwei's escort team was surrounded by hundreds of strong horses.
Peng Zhengyi hurriedly raised his left hand. The escort team of Wuwei Bodyguard Agency had experienced a lot of battles and did not panic. They all leaned close to the escort cart and waited for Peng Zhengyi's instructions.
Peng Zhengyi looked at the men on the horses and knew that they were all his lackeys. The main person had not arrived yet, so he rode beside Xu Zhutao and waited for the change.
Xu Zhutao had experienced some storms before, so he was not nervous. He asked Peng Zhengyi in a low voice,""Why aren't these people the knights from before?”
Peng Zhengyi was also puzzled. As expected, the black and white teams of knights were nowhere to be seen.
In a short while, dozens of horses rushed over from behind. Peng Zhengyi was secretly panicking. The people in the green forest were snatching darts on the road. He had never heard of so many people being dispatched.
After a while, seven horses turned around from behind the forest. The man in the lead had a head like a bat and was tall. He rode on the horse like he was riding a donkey, his legs touching the ground.
Peng Zhengyi recognized him at a glance. This person was the ladle head of Niu Dugang, Pagoda Bearing Heavenly King Chen Qilu.
The person sitting on the second horse was a monk with hair. Peng Zhengyi recognized him as well. He was the famous Solitary Thief of the Sun and Moon Monk.
The third and fourth people were two skinny men who looked exactly the same. Peng Zhengyi remembered that they were the Twin Cranes of Laoshan, Cheng Guangwen and Cheng Guangwu, who were famous in the Shandong Peninsula.
The fifth person was a young man dressed like a scholar. He was very handsome and bare-handed. He only had a deerskin dart bag hanging on his left hand. He wore a pair of gloves that seemed green but was not green, shining with a black light.
The sixth person was even more curious. He was covered in golden armor and had a tall figure. He actually looked like a general on the array.
The seventh person was a skinny old man.
Peng Zhengyi only recognized the first four people, but the Wuwei Bodyguard Agency had no enmity with them. He did not know why they had joined forces to snatch the darts. It was because unless there was a deep grudge between them, they would never join forces to snatch the darts.
As the seven horses approached Zhao Yumei, they all looked around at him. Seeing such a fairy-like figure, they thought," What a beautiful person!
The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King cupped his fists and said,""Escort Leader Peng has always been well. It's been rare to see him recently, and I miss him very much.”After saying that, he laughed maniacally.
Peng Zhengyi also smiled and nodded."Leader Chen, is this good too? Why are the two leaders Cheng and Master Sun Moon here? Could it be that our escort agency is lacking in manners?”
"What are you talking about?" Dhuta Sun-moon laughed."What are you talking about? Let me introduce you to a few experts first."”
He pointed at the fifth person and said," This is the Great Swordsman Ji Wu, known as the haunting ghost by the Dark Yin Gate. This is the head of the Yellow Sea, Third Master Qi of the Sea Dragon King. This is the Great Swordsman Zhao Baiba, the life and death judge who guarded the border in the past. I'm sure Escort Head Peng has heard of him."”
When Peng Zhengyi heard the names of these three people, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. As long as one of these three people was here, it would be impossible to clean up the situation. Moreover, all three of them had come.
So he immediately cupped his fists and said,"I've long heard of the three of you. It's truly a pleasure to meet you today."”
The lingering ghost also cupped his fists and said,"You must be the Second Escort Leader of the Wuwei Bodyguard Agency, Master Peng.”He glanced at Xu Zhutao and Zhao Yumei from the corner of his eyes. He even looked at Zhao Yumei's chest and said,"These two are very unfamiliar."
"This is my friend and his cousin.”
Ji Wu replied with an "oh" and said happily,""This woman is as beautiful as a fairy. Today is really fated.”
Xu Zhutao also cupped his hands, and Zhao Yu smiled without saying a word.
Ji Wu continued," A straightforward person will not beat around the bush. I'm sure you two already know why we're here today. Originally, Head Chen and the two Heads Cheng had a feud with Chief Wu of your escort agency. However, since Chief Wu is not here today, we won't mention this matter." However, this little brother and these few people are very interested in the escorts that your agency is escorting this time. If Escort Leader Peng can leave the escort carriage behind, then I, Ji, guarantee that I won't harm a single blade of grass or tree of your agency. Otherwise, Escort Leader Peng is a smart person. Please look at the situation today. There's no need for this little brother to say anything more. I hope Escort Leader Peng will think twice.”
Peng Zhengyi was in a mess and didn't know what to do. The sweat on his forehead dripped down. He was stunned on the horse and didn't know how to answer.
Although Xu Zhutao didn't know the names of these people, he knew that if Zhao Yumei didn't want to help him, he wouldn't be able to get away with it. However, he was entrusted by others to help him in this situation. He couldn't just hand over the escort cart. After thinking for a long time, he stepped forward.
He bowed to the seven people on the opposite horse and said in a clear voice,"I am Xu Zhutao, and I am also entrusted to protect this escort. I am young and inexperienced, and I don't know the rules of Jianghu. However, I think that all of you are famous heroes. Even if you take the escort today and the news spreads in the future, it will definitely damage your reputation. However, all of you are determined to win. I am entrusted by others, so I must protect you with my life. Then, I have a humble opinion. Do you agree?”
After saying that, he sat quietly on his horse and waited for a reply. No one expected Xu Zhutao to step forward. After a while, Ji Wu said,"I didn't expect this Little Brother Xu to be so straightforward. He's really young and promising. I don't know what little brother has to say, please say it quickly. If it's reasonable, we will have nothing to say.”
So Xu Zhutao waved his hand and asked the escort to unload the seven boxes and put them on the ground. He said,"There are a total of seven chests here, but only one of them really contains a treasure. Since there are seven of you here, I will place these seven chests on the ground. Each of you can take one. Whoever has the best luck will get this treasure.”
As soon as Xu Zhutao finished speaking, Dhuta Sun-Moon, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, and the others all agreed in unison, but Ji Wu and Zhao Baiba remained silent.
It should be known that the kung fu of the Sun Moon Dhuta, the Twin Cranes of Mount Lao, and the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was incomparable to that of the Life and Death Judgement and Ji Wu. They had come to intercept the escort this time because they had once suffered a great loss from the Silk Needle Wu Zhaoyun, so they had come with Ji Wu and the others to take revenge. As for the formed fleece-flower root, they did not dare to dream of obtaining it. The Sea Dragon King had only come to join in the fun at this time, and did not have any ambition to obtain this precious treasure.
Now that Xu Zhutao's suggestion was like this, they thought that they also had a chance to obtain this treasure. They were secretly happy and naturally agreed.
Hence, Xu Zhutao continued,"Since the Wuwei Bodyguard Agency has given the treasure to you with both hands, of course, you have nothing to say and will not make things difficult for the people of the Wuwei Bodyguard Agency. However, I was entrusted by someone to protect this treasure and I am not willing to let it be taken away for nothing. I know who took the real treasure. I have a conscience and want to snatch the treasure back from that person. I think you are all famous heroes. If you are defeated by me, you should naturally return the treasure to me. Is this method feasible?”
Ji Wu and the others were silent for a long time after Xu Zhutao's roundabout speech. Suddenly, Ji Wu's heart skipped a beat. He turned around and glanced at the judge of life and death. Seeing that he was nodding and smiling, he immediately replied,"This method is very fair. Let's do as little brother says.”
Xu Zhutao placed the seven boxes in a neat row on the ground in front of them.
Suddenly, the tree branches made a sound, and nine people jumped down from the tree. They also lined up neatly and jumped in front of the box. There was a commotion in the circle. Xu Zhutao was also shocked. He looked at them and saw that these nine people were all beggars in tattered clothes. They were still laughing.
After the nine beggars landed on the ground, before anyone could speak, one of them laughed loudly,"This idea is indeed very good, but we brothers also have to count in.”
Before Xu Zhutao could reply, Ji Wu jumped off his horse and landed lightly on the chest. He replied,""I was wondering who it was. It turns out that Mister Leng is here. Since Mister Leng is also interested, it is only natural that he should have a share. However, although I agree, if others don't agree, this little brother can't do anything.”
Hearing this, Master Leng glared and said,""I came all the way here as a beggar. Who has the nerve to kick me away?”
At this moment, the Sea Dragon King Third Master Qi suddenly said loudly,"This little brother originally didn't have much meaning in this matter. Since this is the case, this little brother will withdraw.”
