Chapter 117 Ambush
Outside the west city, there are many rice fields and trees on both sides of the official road.
As Bai Xiuqi walked along the official road, he gradually blended into the woods. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't even see his figure.
The carriage in front turned into a side road, and then a man in black and a cloak got out of the carriage, and with a few leaps he left the official road and headed east.
The night deepens.
Outside the East City, twenty burly men holding weapons, with a fierce aura that could be felt from afar, were escorting three trucks from a mountain road in the west that wound through the low hills, heading towards the official road in the east.
At the front of the convoy, there was a man and a woman, each riding a tall and strong, scarlet red cloud horse.
The man was of sturdy build, with muscles that seemed like they could burst his clothes. He was about forty years old, and a large axe was placed horizontally on his horse. He looked to be a strong and brave man.
The woman was dressed in a red tights , had a pretty face and a well-proportioned figure. She was riding on a Chiyun horse, like a ball of flame that could ignite a man's primitive nature at any time.
This woman was none other than Yan'e, the guardian of Xujiabao whom Qin Ziling had seen in the Wuyang Mountains that night.
The person holding the axe was naturally Xu Pengjin, the fourth master of Xujiabao.
Suddenly, a black shadow rose into the sky from behind a dirt slope on the left side of the road.
The black shadow held a spear in his hand, and the spear came out like an angry dragon, stabbing at the big man on horseback like lightning.
"There are robbers!" The big man roared, veins bulged in his arms, and his muscles were coiled together like old tree roots. He grabbed the axe and chopped hard at the spear that was thrusting at him.
Seeing this, Yan'e, who was standing beside her, had already taken a sword in one hand and pressed on the horse's back with the other hand. She flew up with the sword in her hand and stabbed at the black shadow.
The three-foot green peak was emitting sword light under the night sky, which was truly astonishing.
The black shadow in mid-air did not show any intention of dodging when faced with the sudden force of two powerful martial artists.
The spears continued to whistle through the night sky, ignoring the falling axes.
Almost at the same time, the black shadow raised his foot and kicked at the three-foot green sword. A force rushed out from the tip of the toe, forming an illusion of a short gun, which stabbed towards the sword.
"Dang! Dang!" With two loud noises, the axe hit the gun barrel heavily. The phantom of the short gun and the three-foot green blade collided head-on, bursting into dazzling light.
The shadow of the short spear transformed by the strong force disappeared, and Yan'e, who was holding the three-foot-long green sword, felt as if she was electrocuted. She flew backwards, and the hand holding the sword felt an incomparably feminine and powerful force penetrating her body along the sword. Her entire arm felt numb and weak. She felt a little better only after the strong force was madly urged.
On the other side, Xu Pengjin chopped down with an axe, and the spear just sank slightly. When the spear tip sank slightly, the cold light on the spear tip suddenly increased, forming a spear phantom, which broke through the void and stabbed towards Xu Pengjin's heart at a terrifying speed, as if the spear had suddenly become half as long.
"Hua Jin martial artist!" Xu Pengjin's face suddenly changed. He decisively threw away the axe and slapped the back of the Chiyun horse with both palms. The Chiyun horse let out a terrible neigh, broke its spine, spit out blood, and collapsed to the ground with a bang. Xu Pengjin's burly body used the force to leap back.
But the shadow of the spear followed him closely, approaching him and killing him in the blink of an eye.
When the sharp gun tip came into view, Xu Pengjin's eyes showed fear.
At this moment, the truck behind Xu Pengjin exploded with a loud bang, and a big knife whistled down.
The person holding the knife was none other than Xu Yuanwu, the young master of Xujiabao and a martial arts master.
The sword shone with a cold light, and with one chop, it cut the spear phantom in half.
But even though the phantom of the spear was cut off, the half of the spear formed by the strong force was still as powerful as ever.
"Bang!" Xu Pengjin slapped out two palms in succession before he finally dissipated the force.
"Who are you? Why did you kill my fourth uncle and rob the Xu family's goods?" Xu Yuanwu saw that he had cut off the gun shadow formed by the strong force with one knife, but the remaining force was still so fierce. His face changed drastically and his eyes showed an extremely solemn look.
"I didn't expect that the young master of Xujiabao would hide himself in the cargo. It seems that you had already planned that someone would come to rob and kill you along the way. But it's good this way. Your Xujiabao is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Our Lin family was just worried that we couldn't kill you, but you came to our doorstep." Xiao Qing, who was covered in a cloak, changed his expression slightly and made a hoarse voice.
"Girl, how did my Lin family offend you that you want to frame my Lin family like this?" At this moment, an old man and a young man walked out of the darkness.
The old man was bald, with a broad face, tall stature, and a demeanor as steady as a mountain.
The young man was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with a tall figure, handsome looks, and a casual smile on his lips. He was Lin Zhengji, the leader of the third generation of the Lin family.
"Lin Jingyue!" After Xiao Qing saw the old man's appearance clearly under the cloak, his pupils suddenly shrank and his face became solemn.
Lin Jingyue, one of the elders of the Lin family, is also one of the five great martial artists of the Lin family.
"Yes, it is me! The young lady certainly didn't expect that our Lin family and Xujiabao had reached a private settlement a month ago! But what is strange is that recently, people and goods of Xujiabao, and even people and goods of my Lin family, have frequently encountered accidents. This is very puzzling!
So, in order to clear up our misunderstandings, we made some arrangements, and sure enough, someone came to rob us. Now, girl, do you want to untie your cloak yourself, or do we help you?
I am really curious about who you are. You look young, but you have already reached the level of Huajin. And who do you work for? As long as you name a price, our Lin family can actually pay it. "
Lin Jingyue walked up slowly, forming a horn with Xu Yuanwu, while Lin Zhengji and three other martial artists gathered together and stood in the gap between the horns, forming a triangular attack.
"It's a pity that Lin Tianrui didn't come, otherwise he might have been able to keep me here. But with just the few of you, it's still a little short!" Xiao Qing smiled coldly, tapped the ground with his toes, and soared into the air like an eagle, pouncing towards Lin Zhengji and the other two.
The direction that Lin Zhengji and the other two were heading was exactly the direction of the Wuyang Mountains.
"Come on!" Lin Zhengji sneered upon seeing this, jumped up, swung his sword and stabbed at Xiao Qing, the sword tip spitting out a three-foot-long sword light.
Xu Pengjin and Yan'e jumped up at the same time, one swinging an axe and the other holding a sword, and they attacked Xiao Qing from the left and right.
Facing the joint attack of the three powerful martial artists, Xiao Qing suppressed the urge to kill Lin Zhengji and swung his spear left and right like a dragon shaking its head and tail.
"Dang! Dang!" The sound of two metals colliding suddenly sounded in the silent night sky. Xu Pengjin and Yan'e let out a muffled sound in their throats. They were unable to withstand the attack of the spears and fell backwards one after another.
Almost at the same time, Lin Zhengji's sword stabbed forward.
But at this moment, Xiao Qing's body in the air took advantage of the force of the spear's swinging head and tail to rise two meters again. His toes touched Lin Zhengji's sword, and he tumbled in the air, like a black meteor under the night sky, and fell towards the direction of Wuyang Mountain.
Lin Zhengji's hand holding the sword suddenly felt like it was struck by lightning, and the sword almost slipped out of his hand. His face changed drastically and his eyes showed horror.
When Xiao Qing suddenly pounced on the three people, Xu Yuanwu . Seeing that the three people could not stop Xiao Qing's footsteps, and instead were able to escape with her force, their faces changed drastically. They mobilized all their strength, their clothes rustling, and they swept past the three people like a whirlwind and chased after Xiao Qing.
"Chase!" Lin Zhengji and the other two shouted coldly, and then chased after him.
In the blink of an eye, the group of six disappeared from everyone's sight.
Under the cover of night, Xiao Qing's figure flew and leaped among the mountains, swift and agile like a cheetah or a goat, extremely flexible and agile. Except for Xu Yuanwu and Lin Jingyue who could barely catch up with him, Lin Zhengjing and the other two were constantly being left behind.
"Should we wait for an opportunity to kill one or two of them?" Xiao Qing's eyes flashed with coldness as he sped along.
"Forget it. It's easy to kill one or two of them, but it will definitely expose the Azure Dragon Mysterious Wood Skill! Besides, since the Xu Family Fort and the Lin Family have already reconciled privately, killing one or two of them won't have much effect.
The most urgent thing is to escape first and bring the news back as soon as possible." Xiao Qing finally suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and stepped hard on a thick branch with his toes.
"Crack!" The branches made a breaking sound, and Xiao Qing took advantage of the rebound force to fly across the night sky at a faster speed and fell towards another big tree.
Xu Yuanwu and Lin Jingyue couldn't help but show horror and helplessness when they saw Xiao Qing suddenly accelerate. At this moment, they realized that Xiao Qing had not been running at his full speed just now.
Just when Xu Yuanwu and Lin Jingyue thought they could no longer catch up with Xiao Qing, suddenly a green light streaked through the night sky, like a green lightning bolt striking towards Xiao Qing who was flying low.
Xiao Qing, who was running out of strength and was about to fall down to gain leverage, couldn't help but change his expression when he saw this. Without thinking, he somersaulted in the air to avoid the green light.
But the green light seemed to have a spirit. In a flash, it turned back in the air and attacked Xiao Qing again.
Seeing this, Xiao Qing's expression changed slightly again and he clapped his hands in the air.
A powerful palm print rushed out, stirring up a gust of wind.
"Bang!" The palm print fell on the green light. The two collided, and the shock wave generated by the collision formed a hurricane, which rolled up the dust on the ground and broke the surrounding branches one after another.
Xiao Qing finally landed on the ground, and the green light flew back and hung in the air, blocking Xiao Qing's retreat. It was a green bead as big as a pigeon egg.
Under the night sky, the light of the green bead kept twisting and changing, and gradually it turned into the shadow of a strange beast with a completely green body.
This strange beast is in the shape of a bird, with a long beak as sharp as a sword and claws as sharp as iron hooks.
"Green Dove Pearl! Bai Xiuqi!" Under the cloak, Xiao Qing's face finally changed drastically.
"Tsk tsk, that's right, it's me! I didn't expect that when I followed the eldest lady of the Xiao family on a whim, I would discover such a huge secret." Bai Xiuqi's voice was heard from the jungle dozens of meters away.
