Zhou Xing has never been in such a nervous mood. Even when he awakened to Dharma when he was nine years old and went to pay homage to his ancestors in the family ancestral hall, he was never so at a loss. Jiang Yunqi and his two apprentices had already sent him away.
The only people on hand were two junior monks from the Zhou family and a handful of relatively trustworthy commoners.
Another reason why he confirmed that the "Fengxing Chamber of Commerce" would cause trouble today was that the nine-member team trained within the sect would also arrive in Donghu County around noon. Although these nine young monks were not the number one in the Qianshan Sect,
He is the leader in every martial arts competition, but he is also the leader in winning more than one match. He can be regarded as the inheritor of the Asayama Sect's legacy.
The enemy hiding in the dark may have two targets, no, three.
First, it must be these nine people. If they can all be slaughtered here, it will definitely cause great panic in the Qianshan Sect; second, there are many shops selling monk supplies in Donghu County, which will cause unrest here.
, disrupting the construction here and greatly affecting subsequent merchant investments; thirdly, as the guard of Donghu County, Zhou Xing himself, if he can be killed, then at the Xuan level, the Qianshan Sect will lose more than one person.
A monk, and the lack of a guard candidate would also be a huge blow to the sect's prestige.
Zhou Xing is naturally aware of the lack of people in the sect. Li Youde spent spiritual stones to buy the position of guard of Nuangu County, which can explain two things. On the one hand, the Qianshan Sect is indeed short of money; on the other hand, it is short of people.
Symbolically, with the cultivation of Shen Junmao, the guard of Dayi County, he knew that if he barely entered the Xuan level, he could guard one side. But if he died, he couldn't think of anyone else the sect could send to guard this place in his place.
Wei Jie, who once served as the elder who taught Kung Fu, may be the only candidate.
Not many of the younger generation can reach the Xuan level, but if they can survive this year, after the construction of Beimu County is completed, the sect may have a lot of funds to support one or two younger generations to hit the Xuan level.
As for the level, all he knows now is that Wei Chengyu, a young monk from the Wei family, is also the winner of the first martial arts competition of the Qianshan Sect, and is showing signs of breaking through the spiritual level and entering the profound level.
You must persist until that moment.
"Master Guard, Fengxing Chamber of Commerce is still open as usual today." The person who came to report was Zhou Xuyang, his own son, but in public, he still called his uncle Zhou Xing as "Master Guard".
"Explore again!"
"yes!"
"return!"
"..." Zhou Xuyang stopped there at a loss, waiting for Zhou Xing's new order.
"Come with me." Zhou Xing decided to strike first. Although he estimated that the opponent had more than one target, it was still unclear whether the opponent would act in separate ways or all the way. It would be better to alert the enemy earlier and mess up their plan.
, two Xuan-level people on the left and two, plus two Spirit-level people, if their purpose is really what I judged, they will definitely act separately. Even if they are divided into two, I can probably resist them all the way, or even win.
"Let's go, follow me!"
The two of them left the town guard's mansion one after another and headed straight for the business inn of the "Fengxing Chamber of Commerce". At this time, there were gradually more pedestrians on the road, and many ordinary people going to the market had begun to flock to the business of Donghu County.
The street, the two market opening days on the tenth and end of each month are the busiest times here.
As soon as Zhou Xing left the guard house, he felt someone coming up behind him. The person's tracking skills were not very good, and he didn't seem to be afraid of being discovered. He kept a distance that allowed him to escape at any time, which was annoying.
Entering South Cross Street, and getting closer and closer to the "Fengxing Chamber of Commerce", the tail disappeared first, probably to report the news in advance. Zhou Xing was not in a hurry, and found a nearby room where he could catch a glimpse of the "Fengxing Chamber of Commerce" from a distance.
"In the teahouse, Da Ma Jin Dao sat on the second floor and stared at the other party's every move. He believed that with his own strength, the other party would have to send at least one Xuan level and two Ling level to ensure that "
"The attack" was safe, but he had no way to take action before the other party took action. Otherwise, if the excuse was used, the other party could cancel the action and charge himself with "robbery of business travelers". For Donghu County, this could
Not a good thing.
However, the actions of the "Fengxing Chamber of Commerce" exceeded Zhou Xing's expectations. : :
Before noon, two strange Xuan-level monks dressed in low-key clothes left one after another. Each of them also brought a spiritual-level monk with them. They rushed all the way to the official road, and the other way, they went in the direction of North Cross Street.
The construction of South Cross Street and North Cross Street has been completed a long time ago. The shops there are densely packed and it is also the most lively place of this fair.
Ready to take action?
Zhou Xing secretly thought, the Xuan-level monks are all gone, aren't you afraid that I will take away your old home? As soon as the thought came to his mind, a ball of fire rose into the sky in the "Fengxing Chamber of Commerce". Before the onlookers around him could gather, there were three
The four clerks copied someone who was obviously wrong. While shouting the commands "It's on fire" and "Quickly put out the fire", they hurried to the road, pretended to detain the arsonist, caused disputes, attacked passers-by, and started to create trouble.
confusion.
Is this going to be a good show?
Zhou Xing flew out and went straight to the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce. The Xuan-level pressure enveloped him, but he suddenly felt that another Xuan-level aura in the Chamber of Commerce, which was no less than his own, suddenly appeared and responded to him immediately.
Is there another Xuan level?
In other words, there are not two mentioned in the posting application, but as many as three?
He suddenly understood now that the reason why his opponent revealed the information about the monks of the "Fengxing Chamber of Commerce" yesterday was just to stabilize him in disguise, so that he could misjudge the opponent's strength and not ask for help from the sect; the two Xuan-level people just traveled together.
, on the one hand, it may have a purpose, but on the other hand, it is a deliberate show of weakness to lure him to take action, and trap him here, unable to rush for help.
Zhou Xing instantly felt like he had been deceived. He was cunning and provocative!
Although he was worried about the situation of the nine monks and the shop, Zhou Xing knew that he was weak, so he could only take out the gray-white bone knife, and flapped another small animal skin drum instrument with his left hand. In an instant, his mind was clear.
He grew a lot, and his strength also increased a lot. He jumped up and landed firmly at the door of the "Fengxing Chamber of Commerce".
"Stop! Who are you who dare to cause trouble in Donghu County!"
What greeted him were six iron-feathered arrows shot in succession. Six archers holding longbows suddenly appeared at various places in the gatehouse of the Chamber of Commerce. Although they were mortals, the balsa wood longbows in their hands did not look like ordinary people.
snort!
Zhou Xing sprinted left and right on the spot a few times, avoiding the ruthless arrows of the archers, and went straight into the courtyard. With his spiritual power blooming, he raised his knife and cut off the two pillars supporting the gate tower, and then faced an attacker.
The middle-aged male cultivator who came out was dressed in a gray robe as a casual cultivator, with an ashen complexion and an emerald green spear in his hand. Before he could speak, he was already entangled with Zhou Xing.
At the corner of the street not far from here, a short and stocky young man with his nostrils turned upward stuck his head out and was looking over. Unlike the crowds of people running wildly, there seemed to be two strange gleams in his eyes.
It’s indeed Zhou Xing!
He easily recognized the person who was at a disadvantage in the fight.
…………
"Enemy attack!"
Ren Xiaolong used all the strength in his Dantian to shout loudly, ensuring that all the members of the troika in front and behind could hear it. As the temporary captain of this nine-man team, he had this responsibility.
But it seems someone has been hit by an arrow.
Just as we were marching on the official road, Donghu County was already in sight, but suddenly at least twenty archers with long bows jumped out from the dense forests on both sides. The flaming iron arrows penetrated directly through the weak carriage of the carriage, and even
Burning a companion who had no time to dodge.
As a monk, this is a bit embarrassing.
Ren Xiaolong didn't care to complain. He was also a rookie when it came to fighting. He hid behind the wheel of the carriage and carefully observed the situation. He judged that this group of people could not be ordinary bandits, and should only be responsible for creating chaos and panic.
The accomplice and real opponent must also be monks.
He moved his fingers slightly, and three small shields were suspended by his side. Then he jumped up like a newly dehydrated carp and faced the visitor. However, the other party's cultivation seemed to be far beyond his own, and his Xuan-level aura was already
This temporarily stopped motorcade was completely enveloped, spreading panic and helplessness.
"Who dares to attack my Qianshan Sect's convoy!"
He asked loudly. Although his cultivation was not as good as the opponent's, he still bravely stood up and met his opponent's unkind gaze.
"very good!"
As the opponent snorted, another dense wave of arrows struck. This long bow should be a low-level magic weapon that can be used by ordinary people. For spiritual-level monks, it is still a big problem.
Ren Xiaolong's small shield floated in the air, blocking an arrow that hit him. He moved quickly, holding his short hammer, and followed the other two figures rushing towards each other, entangled with them.
It was Zhao Liangdi and Zhou Xulie, with strong winds blowing around them, sword lights dancing, and a ball of blue light thrown by Ren Xiaolong, mixed with the opponent's sword energy. Although they were still at a disadvantage due to their cultivation, but in a short time
Within a certain period of time, I believe that the other side will not be able to defeat our side.
The other two spirit-level opponents fought together with Nie Xiaofan and Zhou Cailing. Although they were also spirit-level opponents, Nie Xiaofan and Zhou Cailing lacked suitable magical weapons. Fortunately, for the sake of experience, the sect was equipped with twenty first-level talismans of various colors.
, various colors of light flew out from the hands of different people, and with the help of the remaining nine members who had escaped from the chaos, they actually gained a slight upper hand for a while.
Snapped!
The Xuan-level monk threw an unknown magical weapon. The thorn-like magical weapon gave off a dazzling cold light, causing the three Ren Xiaolongs who were fighting around him to become stagnant and their spirits became trance-like.
Get up. Zhao Liangdi was the first to wake up and quickly threw out a water shield charm for each person. At the same time, based on his intuition, he threw out the unstable "six-fold sword light" and went straight to his opponent.
Click!
The Xuan-level monk's iron sword did not resist Zhao Liangdi, but slashed at Ren Xiaolong, causing a crisp metal clang. Ren Xiaolong's figure covered in iron armor instantly flew at least a foot away, holding in his hand
His one-handed hammer fell, and all the small shields on his body were broken. He spat out a mouthful of hot blood, turned over and picked up the magic weapon, and rushed into the battle group again regardless of it.
"Hold on! Wu Tianyou, come help us quickly and open your shield!"
The fat man Wu Tianyou who was called was holding his upper arm and hiding at the hub of the wheel to catch his breath. He had just been hit by an ordinary archer. He was the one who was accidentally injured. He had never experienced such a chaotic formation.
The sound of swords and the shouts and curses made him tremble with fear. This was so different from the situation where he easily won a battle in martial arts a few days ago. Big drops of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Come.
No, I have to muster up the courage. He gritted his teeth and gave himself a mouth. He suddenly became more awake. He rolled out from the wheel hub and dodged two random iron arrows. The green light in his hand shone and the six groups scattered.
The warm aura of light flew towards the six teammates around him who were in the battle group.
Suddenly, several people felt a warmth all over their bodies, which not only dispelled the trembling fear, but also slowly recovered from the injuries on their bodies. A green halo appeared faintly around them, which seemed to have some simple protective effects.
Clang!
The Xuan-level monk's iron sword collided with Zhao Liangdi's dagger. The huge force directly cracked Zhao Liangdi's jaw. Like everyone here, she was no match for this monk who was known for his strength. The dagger
Falling from her hand, the Xuan-level monk's iron sword swept towards her body.
Don’t even think about it!
Ren Xiaolong's one-handed hammer swung violently towards the Xuan-level monk's unprotected waist. The Xuan-level monk was not in a hurry. He took out a square jade talisman with his left hand and quickly injected spiritual power into it. The jade talisman instantly released a burst of energy.
An inexplicable suction force distorted the original attacks of several people around him, and Ren Xiaolong's one-handed hammer fell into the air again.
No!
He watched helplessly as the Xuan-level monk's sword slid towards Zhao Liangdi's chest, but a thin figure rushed in in time. It was Nie Xiaofan. He kicked the Xuan-level monk, and at the same time, the dark stick in his hand,
Stab the right arm of the Xuan-level monk.
"roll!"
The Xuan-level monk shouted loudly, jumped out from the siege of several people, dodged Nie Xiaofan's not-fatal blow, and stabbed Nie Xiaofan's chest with the long sword in his hand.
Snapped!
Ren Xiaolong's one-handed hammer danced down again, and a glimmer of success flashed in the eyes of the Xuan-level monk. As the sword light danced, a purple-black sword energy surged out, directly penetrating through the old posture and unable to escape.
Ren Xiaolong, the target in his heart was actually not Nie Xiaofan, but Ren Xiaolong, who seemed to be the leader.
Shooting men first, shooting horses, and breaking captives, killing chieftains first. The methods are ordinary, but he naturally understands this truth because of his rich experience.
Ren Xiaolong's body flew out again, with a fist-sized hole in his chest. Before he could say anything, he had already died.
"Brother Ren!"
Zhou Xulie's eyes instantly turned red. Although his "Misty Breeze" and "Shuiyue Horizontal Training" could enhance his body dodge, he could always avoid the Xuan-level monk's unskilled sword moves, but no matter it was
The strong wind or the low-level talismans thrown out had little effect on opponents who were a level higher than him. He now fully understood the pressure of the level, but in front of him, it was not when he woke up with emotion. Ren Xiaolong had already fallen. If Nie Xiaofan was added,
, if the three of them still cannot defeat this mysterious person, everyone present will die here.
what to do?
Various ideas flashed through his mind, but there was almost no chance of winning. Maybe it would be helpful to gather everyone together and fight the enemy together?
Ren Xiaolong died, and the remaining people should theoretically follow the orders of Zhao Liangdi or Nie Xiaofan, but in fact, Zhou Xulie, who was usually sociable and calm in character, had higher prestige. Therefore, he must make a decision as soon as possible.
Because the Xuan-level monk had already abandoned the two of them and rushed to another disciple first, he decided to resolve the Qianshan Sect Spirit-level ones who were clearly at a disadvantage in the fight first, choosing Zhou Cailing, who was already injured and had difficulty moving.
Ah, run!
Just as Zhou Xulie was hesitating, several screams were suddenly heard in the depths of the woods, and several archers were thrown out. Before anyone could see clearly, two other figures jumped out of the forest.
.
It is none other than law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao and "elder brother" Wei Chengyu!
