It was the end of April on the lunar calendar. Although it was still early summer, the Jiangnan area was already hot. Even if a few wisps of wind occasionally blew, it was hard to find a trace of coolness.
At the foot of Mount Zhong, a spacious mountain path meandered out from the foot of the mountain, extending to Jiankang City in the distance.
On both sides of the mountain path, the trees were shady. The hot sun stubbornly cast mottled golden light through the leaves. The cicadas in the forest kept making noises."Squeak squeak squeak ~ I'm scared to death by reason ~ I'm scared to death by reason ~"
The sound of wheels and bells rang. At the end of the mountain road, four or five lavishly decorated carts slowly drove over, leaving two half-inch-deep tracks on the ground. It was obvious that the carts were loaded with many valuables.
There were about twenty burly men in black robes on the front, back, and sides of the carriage. Other than the four men in the front who were holding the Water and Fire Cudgels to clear the way, most of the men behind them were holding shiny long knives. There were even people carrying longbows and quiver hanging from their waists. Such a strict guard team was enough to show the noble identity of the owner of this trip.
There were five large carriages, and the front and back carriages were ox-carts. Only the most beautifully carved carriage in the middle was a carriage with two tall horses in front of it. The curtain of the carriage opened, and a youth wearing a black gauze crown and a green robe appeared. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with fair skin and a delicate face.
"Where is this place?" The green-robed youth asked.
An old man in his forties or fifties peeked out from the ox-cart in front of them. He looked very experienced and shrewd. He said in a clear voice,"Langjun, this is the foot of Mount Zhong. It is still more than twenty miles from the capital. You can enter the city before sunset."
"Since that's the case, why don't we take a rest in front?" The green-robed youth said.
Old Cang looked ahead and saw a spacious area with green grass about two to three hundred steps away. The trees on both sides were tall and dense, blocking out the sun. It was a good place to rest.
The group continued to move forward. When they arrived at the spacious area, the men sat down on the ground and put down the weapons in their hands. They opened their clothes and took out water bags from their waists. They began to gulp down the water. The peaceful forest suddenly became lively.
The coachmen and servants on the ox-cart also alighted one after another and sat together with the guards. They drank water and chatted.
The young man in the carriage had already lifted the curtain, revealing a small table. On the table were a few plates of fresh fruits and a pot of wine. Beside him was a pretty maidservant who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old. She was putting ice cubes into a wine pot from a jar.
Old Cang also got off the carriage and came to the front of the carriage. He raised his cattail leaf fan and kept fanning the green-robed youth.
The green-robed youth also opened his clothes and slumped into his seat. He casually crossed his wooden clogs and took a cup of wine with ice from a maidservant beside him. He took a sip and smiled."We're almost at the capital. This journey…"
Whoosh ~
A gust of wind blew, and Old Cang felt a cold light flash in front of his eyes. When he looked up, he couldn't help but be scared out of his wits.
An arrow pierced right into the youth's forehead. The arrow tail was still trembling. The youth's eyes were filled with fear. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to shout, but no sound came out. His hands waved twice and he fell down.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Before anyone could react, the sound of wind rose from the forest on both sides. Twenty to thirty arrows shot out like meteors, heading straight for the people who were resting on the ground.
"Assassins!" The leading guard roared and jumped up with his saber.
However, it was already too late. After a round of arrows, nearly half of those valiant guards had been killed or injured. There were less than twenty servants and guards left.
kill ~
Shouts came from the forest on both sides. Twenty to thirty men in black dashed out from the bushes. They held long knives in their hands and rushed over. In the blink of an eye, they had already pounced on the guards.
The leading guard was in his thirties and was extremely strong. He took the lead to raise his saber to meet the incoming attack. The sound of metal clashing could be heard. In the blink of an eye, the two groups of people had already started fighting.
ah ~
With a scream, a guard was slashed in the face by a man in black. Blood gushed out from the corner of his eye, and a slanted wound appeared on his entire face. Blood instantly flowed down his face, causing the guard to drop the long saber in his hand and cover his face tightly.
In the next moment, a man in black next to him swung his blade, and the guard's neck was cut in half. The long blade was stuck in the middle of his neck. The man in black pulled out the long blade with all his might, kicked the guard down, and slashed at another guard.
On the grassland, although the number of people on both sides was similar, the situation was completely one-sided. These men in black were not only skilled with their blades, but they were also fast and ruthless. It was obvious that they were people who often licked blood with their blades. On the other hand, the opponents were a mix of guards and servants. Although they had strong bodies, they clearly lacked fighting experience and skills. They were completely no match for them.
The leader of the guards was quite skilled. He could still hold on against three or four men in black, but his companions beside him fell one after another.
His companion's screams disturbed his mind. Finally, a ruthless man in black took advantage of the situation and slashed his back.
The leading guard felt a pain in his back and staggered a few steps forward. He gritted his teeth and hurriedly used all his strength to block the incoming saber. Then, he turned around and waved his hand to block the saber from behind.
pfff ~
As soon as he stopped, his thigh was slashed again, and blood gushed out. The leading guard could no longer stand steadily. He knew that there was no chance of survival. He suddenly roared and endured the pain. His body leaped up, and he used all his strength to pounce on the ambusher.
Cha ~
The heavy long blade struck the man in black's neck. The man in black screamed and fell to the ground with blood gushing out of his neck.
Puff ~ Puff ~
The leader of the guards had succeeded in his first attack, but he had completely lost control of his back. He was struck by two long sabers and fell down like a straw, never to get up again.
A man in black walked forward quickly and chopped off the head of the leading guard with two blades.
With the death of the leading guard, the ensuing battle turned into a massacre. In the blink of an eye, only two people were left on the side of the guards.
More than twenty men in black waved their long blades in unison. Under the sharp blades, the remaining two guards were split into pieces in the blink of an eye. Their flesh and blood flew everywhere, and they fell to the ground with a bang.
On the side of the carriage, a few men in black with sharp blades had already killed the coachmen one by one and were rushing towards the carriage.
"Who are you waiting for?" Old Cang asked in a trembling voice as he hugged the corpse of the green-robed youth and looked at the black-robed man who was approaching with a murderous aura.
The leader of the men in black had a cruel smile on his face. He raised the long blade in his hand and pointed it at Old Cang's throat. He said coldly,"Someone will tell you when you get to Hell!"
Old Cang knew that he would not be able to escape death. He closed his eyes while trembling, waiting for the sharp blade to swing and end everything.
Hu ~
Just as Old Cang's eyes were about to close, a black shadow flashed past his eyes. Then, a loud bang rang out, shocking him to open his eyes.
The scene in front of him left him dumbstruck. He could not believe his eyes.
A naked man supported himself with both hands and stepped on the black-clothed man who wanted to kill him. The black-clothed man was stepped on by the naked man who descended from the sky. His sternum shattered and he died immediately. The long saber in his hand flew away.
Even if he squatted, he could see that the naked person was tall and slender. His skin was as white as jade, but his muscles were bulging. However, his long hair was scattered, so his true appearance could not be seen.
In an instant, not only Old Cang, but also the few men in black were stunned.
Who was this person who descended from the sky?
Because it was convenient to block the sun, the carriage stopped under a big tree. Everyone subconsciously looked at the top of the tree and then looked at the naked person. They were still filled with doubt.
Obviously, if he had only jumped down from the tree, he would not have stepped on him to such an extent.
The naked man standing on the man in black slowly opened his eyes and looked around with a confused expression.
"Where am I?"
He looked at the corpses on the ground and the blood-stained ground. He quickly reacted and jumped up. Damn it, they encountered a large-scale murder scene the moment they appeared!
"Kill them!"
A black-clothed man seemed to have woken up from a dream and took the lead to pounce on the naked man with a saber.
The naked man was looking around and saw the masked killer in black holding a shining long knife and chopping at his head. Without thinking, he flashed and raised his fist, throwing an uppercut at the temple of the black-clothed man.
pfff ~
In a split second, the sound of bones and flesh breaking could be heard. The black-clothed man's long saber was still in the air when blood gushed out of his eyes, nose, and mouth. He fell down without a sound.
F * ck…He killed someone with a casual punch? And he even beat her up so ruthlessly?
The naked man was dumbfounded again, and his hands were trembling. However, in his desperation, he couldn't care less. He immediately picked up the ring-head saber that the man in black had thrown down.
The surrounding men in black couldn't help but be shocked when they saw the naked man kill a powerful expert without even making a move.
After a moment of silence, the other three men in black in front of the carriage were the first to react. They looked at each other and suddenly handed over the long knives in their hands. They were as fast as lightning and attacked the naked man in three directions.
The naked man saw another three men in black charging at him with their long knives. Although they were not very fast, their expressions were extremely fierce. He had to attack again and quickly cut the throats of the three men in black.
In the next moment, three more puffing sounds were heard. Blood spurted out from the throats of the three men in black. They threw down their sabers, covered their throats, and struggled to fall.
In the blink of an eye, the four men in black were killed by the naked man before they could even make a move. Everyone was shocked as if they had seen a ghost.
Everyone was shocked, but after seeing that the mission was completed, a troublemaker suddenly appeared on the way. How could they let it go? No matter how strong the opponent was, he was only one person. The men in black whistled and rushed over with their sabers in hand, surrounding the naked man.
The naked man realized that he was too fast, so the others were slower than him. Moreover, his strength was too great, so every move he made was a heavy blow. Therefore, his first attack was a fatal one.
He knew very well that all of this was due to the genetic modification of his body.
However, this was the first time he saw so many people pouncing on him with their sabers. He was still a little flustered. In a moment of desperation, he gritted his teeth and pounced on them with his saber.
At this moment, a mountain wind suddenly blew in the forest, and the trees whistled along with the mountain wind.
Old Cang, who was beside the carriage, saw another scene.
