"Damn dog, after ten years, I finally caught you!"
At the ruins of Li Palace, a scream shook the sky.
The sword flashed and pointed at the big black dog's neck, murderous intent boiling over him. Jiang Li could clearly sense the resentment in the heart of the woman in Confucian robes even from hundreds of meters away.
A bit of cold light passed by Jiang Li, stirring up a weak breeze that couldn't even blow his robe and hair.
But the dangerous aura emanating from the cold light made Jiang Li feel cold all over his body, with a chill that penetrated his bones.
"At the peak of the Yiwu Realm, there is even a faint aura of divine transformation, and he is still a master of Taoism and Martial Arts!"
Jiang Li's eyes condensed, looking at that bit of cold light, there was actually a trace of purple lightning lingering on it.
"You bitches, don't use your killing moves as soon as you come up. I'm seriously injured and my level has been greatly reduced. If you kill me now, you can't be considered a hero, good bitches!"
The big black dog shook suddenly, and twelve blood-patterned flying knives flew out from the dog's fur, lined up in a straight line, and hit a cold light.
Dang Dang Dang
The sound of gold and iron clashing was like beans being thrown, and with just a slight twist of cold light, the twelve blood-patterned flying knives were twisted like cotton, twisted, deformed, and shattered inch by inch.
"Damn dog, I'm not trying to compete with you. Your level has plummeted, which is exactly what I want!"
The woman in Confucian robes gently tapped the ground. Her figure was as graceful as a butterfly, but she spanned half the square in an instant.
"It's over, it's over, this demon is going to die here today!"
The big black dog ran as fast as flying, so fast that no one present could catch it, but the woman in Confucian robes was faster, and Han Guang chased after him, slashing at the black dog's neck in the air.
"Pooh"
The black dog suddenly looked back and sprayed, a black iron umbrella opened, the top of the umbrella split, and thirty-six long knives swept across it wildly, barely able to block the killing blow of the dog.
After being trapped in the cold point, his true form finally appeared, but it was a short sword about a foot long, with a whole body of jasper, crystal clear and pleasing to the eye.
"Linghe Castle's Dark Veil Feiyu? Sure enough, he is determined to steal everything. You must have stolen the magic sword too!"
The woman in Confucian robes was slightly surprised, she circled around the black umbrella and the long knife, and grabbed the black dog's neck.
"It spits blood at a dog, and this demon has no hands, so what's the use of that knife!"
The big black dog refused to admit it and looked aggrieved.
"Man-slaughter, thousands of skeletons!"
Jiang Li stood in the crowd and watched the battle silently. Seeing that the big black dog was in danger, his heart moved.
Although a martial artist in the Yiwu Realm is terrifying, he cannot just sit idly by and watch the black dog kill him.
"Boom boom boom"
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of vibrating bowstrings around the square, and more than ten shadows turned into black lines, arriving in an instant.
The Mohist cavalry stationed at the edge of the square were all Juqing realm warriors. They heard the sound and drew their swords, slashing and blocking, but their speed was still half a breath slower.
The black thread passed through the long knife, pierced directly into the chest, penetrated the body, and made a thin hole in the ground behind him before disappearing.
"There's an assassin!"
More than a dozen Mo family cavalry were injured and fell back, but not a drop of blood flowed out from the punctured wounds. They looked at each other and saw the helplessness and despair in their eyes.
Bang bang bang
The next moment, a strange and terrifying force swirled in his chest, all his internal organs were smashed into pulp, and his body fell down, completely dead.
"Damn dog, you called all this!"
The figure of the woman in Confucian robes suddenly froze, her eyes looked around in surprise, and she could faintly see figures flickering in the ruins of the surrounding walls.
"Wow, you said it has nothing to do with me, you stinky bitch, why do you keep throwing dirty water on me!"
The big black dog ran far away and looked around warily.
"Didn't you call me here?"
The woman in Confucian robes looked at the black dog and saw that it didn't look like he was lying. Her eyes flashed and she said loudly: "Teng Yang and the Moh family are traveling to the north on orders. I don't know what misunderstandings have occurred with you. We can discuss everything!"
"Boom boom boom"
Before the woman in Confucian robes could finish her words, the bow string vibrated again, and more than ten black rays were shot out again, targeting the Mohist cavalry standing in the crowd.
"Damn it, who are you?"
The woman in Confucian robes was furious. The Mohist family had stood firm for thousands of years. Although there were many enemies, this trip was in accordance with the order.
Although there are elders from the Mohist family among the people accompanying him, they are not core figures of the Mohist family. As for sending a dozen peak innate or even ten thousand warriors to intercept him halfway!
The jasper dagger was retracted, and the woman in Confucian robes flicked it gently. The dagger turned into a cold light, which circled half a circle in the air and knocked away several black lines.
The black line shook and landed, but it was several black arrows that were completely black.
On the other side, twenty Mohist cavalrymen were already on guard, slashing with long swords and dodging. Except for three people who were shot dead by the black line, the rest were able to avoid successfully.
However, the low-level warriors squatting nearby were not so lucky. Many of them were affected and were shot dead on the spot by the black line. Their bodies were torn apart.
“Bang bang bang”
After the rain of arrows, there was another rain of arrows.
"Fuck, run away!"
"Damn it, if they can hide, we will all become living targets!"
I don't know who shouted first. The crowd in the square was in chaos, shouting loudly and running away in all directions. The scene instantly fell into chaos.
The bowstring vibrated continuously, and black lines flew everywhere.
"Hmph, any kitten or puppy dares to come out to show off, do you really think that there is no one in our Mo family?"
Sensing the strange movement around them, the tents on the square were raised, and a dozen extraordinary figures walked out of it. They were not wearing armor and were all wearing ordinary clothes, but the aura and spirit of each one were no weaker than those of the Mohist cavalry.
There was an old man at the head, his eyes were like lightning, and his whole body was filled with ups and downs of artistic conception. He was actually a little master of the Yiwu Realm.
"Go and capture those people. I want to see who is so short-sighted!"
The old man shouted coldly, and the figures around him immediately rushed out and chased in all directions.
"Qingmu, let's go quickly!"
Lin Jiuyun gave a low shout, and the escorts from the Zhenwei Escort Bureau also jumped up from the ground in a hurry, beat the horses with all their strength, pushed ten carts of escort items, and fled out of the ruins with the crowd.
"Jiang Li, let's meet in front!"
A wave of soul power came from the big black dog in the distance. Taking advantage of the fact that the woman in Confucian robes had no time to pay attention, she turned around and ran for her life, blending into the crowd and quickly disappearing.
"These people should not be aiming at the Mo family, otherwise they would never attack and kill them at this time!"
Jiang Li looked around. The figures who were hiding behind the ruins and pulling strong bows had begun to retreat in an orderly manner after the order in the square fell into chaos.
They held strong bows and fired while retreating. It seemed that they were repelling the pursuit of the Mo family, but in fact it was more like a cover.
cover?
Jiang Li's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he thought of. He swayed, rushed into the crowd, and quickly moved towards the outside of the ruins.
It only took a moment to catch up with Zhenwei Escort's team.
"Brother Zhao!"
Lin Qingmu and several bodyguards were trying their best to push the carriage filled with goods.
The ground of the ruins is rugged and uneven, and even the former official road of Ligong is full of rough and deep ditches, in which wheels can easily get stuck.
Putting a palm on the cargo box and pushing it gently, the carriage, which had been pushed up with great effort, escaped from a deep ditch, and its speed increased sharply.
Lin Qingmu looked back and saw that Jiang Li had arrived. She couldn't help but feel happy, and then became a little worried.
"Brother Zhao, we are bodyguards. We would rather lose our lives to ensure the safety of our bodyguards. You are different from us, so you'd better run for your life!" Lin Qingmu said.
"Those people probably didn't come here to kill us. Let's escape the siege of the Mo family first!"
Jiang Li shook his head and pushed the carriage forward.
The group of people kept walking, and finally walked out of the Li Palace ruins two hours later.
As soon as the carriage reached the official road, it immediately picked up speed. It walked continuously for a day, and then it slowed down only when it got dark and entered the Lishan Mountains.
"It's finally safe. Lishan is inaccessible and there are many paths. If the Mo family wants to pursue us, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack!"
"Who are those people who are shooting arrows in the ruins? It seems that they are going towards the Mo family, but it doesn't look like them!"
"Why do you care so much? After leaving Lishan Mountain, we went straight to the Great Wall of the North. There are military camps of the Great Zhou Dynasty everywhere over there. If you encounter danger, you can go to the military camps to seek shelter!"
Entering Lishan, the escorts breathed a sigh of relief and looked obviously much more relaxed.
"Brother Zhao, is your black dog a monster? It can actually talk!" Lin Qingmu wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked curiously.
"It should be considered a monster, but I don't know the origin of this dog. When I picked it up half a year ago, it was just a little native dog that was about to freeze to death. After I rescued it, it grew bigger and bigger. Recently, It will take a while before he can speak!" Jiang Li thought for a while.
"It must be a monster. The Mo girl just said that the black dog was flying down. He must have been injured in some way, and you just happened to pick it up!"
Lin Jiuyun said that after the chaos just now, he was less wary of Jiang Li. "You are unlucky. If this dog demon can stay with you for a while, he may be able to teach you some martial arts or Taoism." It’s a pity that when I met a Mo family woman, that dog demon must have fled for his life!”
Jiang Li's breath was as usual. Although he walked with strong steps and full muscles, his figure was loose and uncohesive. From Lin Jiuyun's point of view, he should only be a martial artist at the peak of the physical realm.
As for the cultivation of the Taoist soul, it is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
After a night and a day of twists and turns, the escorts, despite being unbearably tired, still ran for more than three hours before they found a mountain col and stopped for a short rest.
Worried that the Mo family would come after them again and cause unnecessary trouble, no one dared to light a fire and could only eat dry hard biscuits with water.
Jiang Li leaned against a big tree with his eyes slightly closed, but his soul quietly left his body and came to the vicinity of the ten carriages of escorts escorted by Zhenwei Escort Bureau.
His thoughts clouded the escort, and after careful inspection, he found that the items in the wooden box included antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as some gold and silver jewelry, and strange utensils. Although they were all expensive and valuable, there was nothing special about them.
"Am I wrong?"
Jiang Li had some doubts in his heart. His soul returned to his body. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Lin Qingmu not far away, hugging her legs and staring blankly at the starry sky. His heart moved, and he got up and walked over.
"Brother Zhao, can't you sleep either?"
The two sat side by side. Lin Qingmu looked through the branches at the starry sky and whispered:
"When I was at home, I always heard the elders mention the hardships of going out as escorts, but I never experienced it myself. I just thought that my father and uncles were the best in the world.
"Even if we actually go out as escorts, we don't feel that we are much different from others. It wasn't until today that I saw the actions of masters from the famous family that I realized that martial arts training can reach such a high level that it can be compared to ghosts and gods. It is what we have been doing all our lives. An unattainable existence.”
"Then have you ever thought that even a small master in the Yiwu Realm is not a true master in this world. A martial artist in the Divine Transformation Realm can develop the potential in his mind and influence the minds of others with his spiritual power. A martial saint can even cross mountains. The spirit of the fist spans the void."
Jiang Li nodded and said: "There are countless masters in the world, but civilian warriors are always at the lowest level. They have seen unreachable mountains. What are your plans now? Will you continue to work hard to practice, or will you give up and be willing to accept your fate?"
"I have no idea!"
Lin Qingmu shook his head and sighed: "I just feel that I was very ignorant before. If possible, I want to share some of the burden for my father!"
The girl recalled the scene where Uncle Jiu, who was once as majestic as a big tree in her heart, was groveling in front of a Mo family cavalry, fawning and praying, but was beaten to the ground directly, and her heart felt extremely sad.
My father must have encountered this situation many times when he was an escort.
Even if he is as strong as his father, what should he do?
Perhaps he should really follow his father's advice and seriously consider marrying the youngest son of the Zhou family.
But at the age of 20, he is already a martial artist in the Jiao Martial Realm. Maybe he can break through to Juqing one day?
The girl let out a long sigh, her voice full of resentment and helplessness.
It would be great if Brother Zhao also had the strength of the Jiao Martial Realm. Maybe he would not be so resistant to the engagement.
"If you want to become stronger, I might be able to help you!" Jiang Li said. Emperor Jing gave him ten volumes of "Arsenal".
It contains the martial heritage of many aristocratic families and sects and gangs that were wiped out in the Seven Kingdoms in the troubled times.
Although it is not the most top-notch technique, it is still countless levels higher than the inheritance of small forces like Zhenwei Escort Bureau.
Any piece of martial arts inheritance sent out can immediately change the fate and status of the entire escort agency.
"You help me?" Lin Qingmu's eyes brightened slightly, "You mean that big black dog? Didn't it run away already? Could it come back to you again?"
"Hmph, that dead dog is as timid as a mouse and as greedy as life. Can he come back? Even the iron tree can bloom!"
A soft cold snort suddenly sounded in the forest, and the woman in Confucian robes appeared in the mountain col at some unknown time.
The mottled moonlight fell through the treetops, seeming to imprint patterns on the clothes.
The woman's beautiful eyes looked at him quietly, and her murderous intent instantly enveloped the entire audience.
"Young man, I just felt something strange. That black dog has bad conduct and many disgusting misdeeds. He is greedy for money, lustful, and dirty, but he is extremely biased and unruly!"
The woman in Confucian robes slowly walked towards Jiang Li, "It has been with you for so long, it's definitely not just because you saved it!"
The woman's phoenix eyes were fixed on Jiang Li, looking up and down, as if she wanted to see something from him.
"Mr. Shangguan, if you think this kid is strange, just capture him. We have more important things!"
A strong wind blew by, and many more figures appeared in the mountain col. The old man from the Mo family swept his sinister eyes across the Zhenwei Escort Bureau, and finally landed on the ten carriages.
"I have thought about it for a long time. If those people with unknown origins were targeting our Mo family from the beginning, they would never take action at that time. I don't know how many better opportunities and opportunities there are along the way!
"When they took action, it happened to be the time when the Mo family's soldiers searched the escort team. Logically speaking, the Demon Sword Human Slaughter should have little to do with you!
"So, what exactly is the cargo you are escorting!"
