"Brother Ai, please go ahead and come to Yannan City to play when you have time." Liu Yu said with cupped hands.
"Be careful on the road. Brother will come and chat with you when you have time." Ai Yuanmu smiled and said in return.
"Brother Liu, be careful all the way. When my younger brother and Ming Mei get married, someone will definitely be sent to inform Brother Liu, but they must come!" Zhang Liangsheng said with a smile.
After chatting for a while, the three of them separated at a restaurant. Liu Yu turned back to Yannan City, while Ai Yuanmu and the two continued towards Gaoyang City.
Soon after, two kilometers away from here, Meng Shengming and Tushan Erxiong rested in a forest.
"Master! They separated. The man named Liu left first." A young swordsman dismounted and reported to Meng Shengming.
"Okay! Let's kill him now, Bashun, it's time to leave long ago." Xiong Xiaoyong said cheerfully.
"Don't act rashly, wait and see." Meng Shengming waved his hand and said.
"What are you waiting for? It's just those two grandsons. Let's go up and knock them down in two or three times. What are you afraid of?" Xiong Xiaoyong complained.
"Boy, shut up!" Xiong Dayong glared at Xiong Xiaoyong and said.
"Go, continue to monitor, and report if there is an emergency." Meng Shengming said to the young swordsman.
"Yes, Master." The young swordsman got on his horse and ran forward.
Meng Shengming was a cautious person, and now that he was still five days away from Gaoyang City, he had plenty of time. He was waiting for Liu Yu to go far away to make sure nothing went wrong.
Two days later, Ai Yuanmu and his two men rode horses and moved forward slowly on the trail. The sun was shining brightly, making them unable to lift their heads.
"Brother Ai, how much are the wolf skins and wolf claws we have worth in spirit stones?" Zhang Liangsheng asked Ai Yuanmu boredly.
"Brother Wei estimates that the wolf skins and wolf claws we have are in complete condition and should be worth about a thousand spiritual stones." Ai Yuanmu estimated based on past experience.
"Da, da" a rapid sound of horse hooves came from behind. The two turned around and saw two strong men wearing hooded hats and black leather armor, riding tall and handsome horses and rushing towards them. Come.
Ai Yuanmu felt a strong sense of vigilance and motioned to Zhang Liangsheng to step aside and let the two of them ride over. He held the handle of the True Flame Sword hanging next to the horse's belly with one hand and thought to himself that he hoped he was just passing by by chance.
Two strong men rode quickly past Ai Yuanmu and ran in front of them. After more than ten steps, the reins were pulled sharply, and the two fast horses neighed, raised their front legs high, and stopped.
Ai Yuanmu's heart sank, and he secretly said: "It's broken."
Ai Yuanmu signaled Zhang Liangsheng to dismount together, and drew out his True Flame Sword, guarding against the sudden appearance of two strong men in armor with malicious intentions.
Zhang Liangsheng swallowed and took out the plain water sword from his storage bag. He was very nervous. He had never experienced such a scene before.
The Tushan brothers slowly dismounted their horses, turned around and looked at their alert looks, and walked up slowly without being in a hurry.
"Hand over your belongings and get out of here. I'll spare your lives." Xiong Xiaoyong said viciously.
"Brother, is there any misunderstanding? We are strangers to each other. Have we found the wrong person?" Ai Yuanmu said, cupping his fists.
"Stop talking nonsense and do it if you are sensible. I don't have much patience." Xiong Xiaoyong interrupted Ai Yuanmu and roared fiercely.
The two Tushan brothers took out their own weapons, a thick-backed sword with a tiger engraved on the back. A large mountain-cutting ax with a mountain pattern carved on the ax body.
After the two of them took out their weapons out of thin air, Ai Yuanmu's heart immediately sank to the bottom, feeling very uneasy. It seems that things can't be good this time, and the two people opposite are very domineering, and it's hard to tell the depth of their cultivation. It's very difficult.
Xiong Dayong saw Ai Yuanmu looking around, obviously thinking about escaping, and sneered: "Don't think about escaping, I can crush you to death with one hand."
Xiong Dayong no longer concealed his cultivation, exuding a powerful aura and pressing towards Ai Yuanmu and the others.
Ai Yuanmu's palms were sweating and he reluctantly said to Zhang Liangsheng: "Give it to them."
Xiong Dazhong was so powerful that he was so overwhelmed that Ai Yuanmu could not breathe. Ai Yuanmu speculated that this person's cultivation level had reached at least the seventh level of Qi training, and they had no power to fight back.
"Brother Ai, you can't give it to them." Zhang Liangsheng said tremblingly. If he handed over all his property, how could he propose marriage to the Meng family and marry Meng Yiming?
He had promised Meng Yiming that he could not just watch Meng Yiming marry someone else. As Xiong Dayong approached, Zhang Liangsheng turned around and ran away.
"No!" Ai Yuanmu shouted hurriedly. He knew that in the hands of the two people opposite him, there was no way he could escape. Losing money and eliminating disaster was the only option.
Xiong Dayong raised his mountain-breaking ax and chased after Zhang Liangsheng. After approaching Zhang Liangsheng, he gave a powerful blow to the back. Zhang Liangsheng heard the wind and turned around with a sword, trying to hold the giant axe. But he underestimated the difference in cultivation between the two. Although he was able to hold the axe, he was knocked away by the huge impact.
Xiong Dayong jumped up and struck Zhang Liangsheng in the air with two axes. Zhang Liangsheng's protective shield was easily torn apart like tissue paper in front of the axe. Zhang Liangsheng was cut in half in the air, his internal organs scattered on the ground, and his death was extremely tragic.
"Liangsheng, be careful." Ai Yuanmu shouted, but it happened too fast. Zhang Liangsheng was already killed before Ai Yuanmu finished his reminder.
"You guys!" Looking at Zhang Liangsheng's broken body, Ai Yuanmu's mind was buzzing and he was stunned on the spot.
"Hmph! You idiot who overestimates his capabilities. Hand over your things, or he will be your fate." Xiong Xiaoyong walked towards Ai Yuanmu and said dissatisfied.
Looking at the strong man holding the sword walking towards him, Ai Yuanmu suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. He poured his spiritual power into the True Flame Sword and slashed at the face of the strong man holding the sword with all his strength.
Xiong Xiaoyong did not expect that the frightened Ai Yuanmu would suddenly take action at this time, using his magic skills to dodge to the side. He successfully dodged the knife, but the hat on his headband was cut by the knife and fell to the ground.
Xiong Xiaoyong felt frightened and almost capsized in the gutter. Suddenly, he was furious and turned around and kicked Ai Yuanmu.
Ai Yuanmu was kicked and flew backwards, hitting a big tree beside the road before sliding down. Xiong Xiaoyong picked up his sword and followed him, slashing down at Ai Yuanmu, wanting to kill this hateful grandson.
With a "cang" sound, the knife was blocked by Xiong Dayong who came over with an axe.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Xiong Xiaoyong shouted dissatisfied, and raised the knife to take action again.
"Second brother, stop." Xiong Dayong shouted to Xiong Xiaoyong. He received a message from Meng Shengming hiding in the woods, asking him to keep Ai Yuanmu alive and not make the matter a big deal.
Ai Yuanmu was leaning against the tree, feeling unbearable pain in his chest. He didn't know how many sternum bones were broken, and he couldn't raise any strength in his body. He stared directly at the two murderers, especially the one-eyed man, whose bamboo hat was knocked off, revealing his ugly true face.
"What are you looking at? You're looking for death!" Xiong Xiaoyong got angry when he saw Ai Yuanmu's unyielding eyes.
Xiong Dayong put away his mountain-breaking ax, walked to Ai Yuanmu, and suddenly slapped Ai Yuanmu's dantian with his palm. Spiritual power penetrated into the body, destroying the connection between Ai Yuanmu's five major meridians and dantian, causing Ai Yuanmu lost the possibility of continuing to practice Taoism.
Xiong Dayong thought that although he could not kill Ai Yuanmu, he would still destroy Ai Yuanmu's Taoism and save him from long nights and dreams, so he could let the tiger go back to the mountain.
