Along the way, the sky was getting darker and darker. However, there were still a lot of people on the road. Everyone wanted to return to Sealed Sword City as soon as possible. This was because the Martial King Mountain was getting more and more dangerous.
At this time, several people slowly approached the carriage. Zhao Hai was the first to discover that something was wrong. Although these people didn't seem to be in the same group, their movements were very orderly. They seemed to have unintentionally surrounded the carriage.
Zhao Hai looked at Sheng Chao. Perhaps because Sheng Chao hadn't been adventuring for many years, his vigilance had decreased a lot. He didn't notice any danger. Zhao Hai immediately used his spiritual energy to transmit his voice to Sheng Chao.
"Benefactor Sheng, don't speak. I'm currently using my voice transmission technique to talk to you. Pay attention to the carriage's surroundings, it seems like it's being surrounded. These people might have bad intentions. Pay more attention to the carriage's safety. If these people enter the carriage, protect it. Leave the rest to me."
Sheng Chao was about to speak when he heard Zhao Hai's voice. However, when he heard the latter part, he was startled. Sheng Chao could be considered to have rich experience in Jianghu. It was just that he hadn't been adventuring for many years, so he had lost his vigilance. Now that he heard Zhao Hai's words, he immediately reacted. He still acted as if he didn't hear anything, he just sat there motionless. However, he was secretly on guard.
Zhao Hai paid attention to Sheng Chao's situation. He saw that Sheng Chao's muscles were bulging. He knew that Sheng Chao was ready. However, he didn't immediately make a move. Instead, he quietly walked forward while paying attention to the surroundings. The road was very quiet, only the footsteps of the people and the beasts could be heard. Besides this, there was only the clanking of the iron rings on Zhao Hai's staff.
However, Zhao Hai's attention was focused on the people surrounding the carriage. He wanted to see what they wanted to do.
After walking for a while, Sheng Chao stretched out his hand and yawned. At this time, a whistling sound was suddenly heard. Then the people surrounding the carriage pulled out their weapons at the same time and rushed towards the carriage.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai and Sheng Chao immediately reacted. Sheng Chao jumped up and took out a long sword. With a wave of his sword, the sword's light directly protected the carriage.
Zhao Hai didn't make a sound, but at the same time, he swung the staff in his hand. Before those people could react, two of them were swept away by the staff. The two people who were swept away had their bones broken and tendons torn. It seemed like they wouldn't be able to survive.
Zhao Hai didn't care about this. Then he moved again. The staff in his hand turned into a sky full of staff shadows as he attacked the people around him.
These people didn't think that Zhao Hai and Sheng Chao's reaction would be this fast. They originally wanted to attack the carriage, but they were stopped by Sheng Chao's sword. Now that Zhao Hai was attacking, they immediately turned around to deal with Zhao Hai's attack. However, Zhao Hai's attack wasn't easy to deal with. These people weren't strong, so when they met a powerful body cultivator like Zhao Hai, they could only take a beating.
At this time, the screams of these people alarmed Sheng Chao's wife and Little Feng. Sheng Chao's wife woke up. At the same time, she had a short gun in her hand, while Little Feng had a long saber in his hand. Only Sheng Chao was still sleeping. Perhaps because he was having too much fun today, he didn't wake up.
However, because Sheng Chao's wife was holding little Sheng Chao, she didn't get up. She just held her short gun and was on guard. Little Feng was also sitting on the carriage. He didn't use his long saber, he just looked around vigilantly.
The two of them had some experience. They knew that jumping out of the carriage and fighting with these people wasn't a good thing. Therefore, they didn't move and just sat on the carriage with vigilance.
Before long, Zhao Hai had killed several people. Seeing that Zhao Hai's group wasn't easy to deal with, the bandits screamed and ran to the sides, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the bandits had retreated, Sheng Chao and the others couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Zhao Hai also came to the side of the carriage. He first looked at Sheng Chao and saw that he was still sleeping. Then he let out a long sigh and said, "Alright, those bandits have run away. I don't think they have the guts to come back. Let's keep going." His voice was a bit low. Obviously, he didn't want to wake Sheng Chao up.
Sheng Chao let out a long sigh. Then he whispered to Zhao Hai, "Thank you for your reminder, Grandmaster. If it weren't for you, we would have been in danger this time."
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "It's nothing. You don't need to worry about it. Those people might have run away from the town. They just wanted to rob us on the spur of the moment."
Just as Zhao Hai was speaking, several shadows suddenly rushed out from the forest on both sides of the road. Zhao Hai stared, then he waved his staff and was about to attack. At this time, a shadow suddenly said, "Grandmaster, please wait. There are beasts in the trees. They're rushing towards us. Let's go!" Then he turned around and ran along the road.
When Zhao Hai heard this, his expression couldn't help but change. Then he immediately communicated with the surrounding plants. He had no choice but to use the power of a Plant Master.
Sure enough, the surrounding plants told Zhao Hai that a large number of beasts were rushing out of the forest. There were a lot of them. If Zhao Hai and the others wanted to block these beasts, then they would be exhausted to death.
Zhao Hai didn't say anything as he waved his hand and took out a piece of animal skin. At the same time, he said to Sheng Chao, his wife, and Little Feng, "Let's go, we need to hurry." Then he rolled up the animal skin and wrapped Sheng Chao inside. Sheng Chao's wife didn't even notice that Sheng Chao was taken away by Zhao Hai. Then Zhao Hai's staff disappeared. Then he grabbed Little Feng's belt and rushed forward.
Although it took a long time to talk about it, it only took a blink of an eye. At this time, Sheng Chao and his wife finally reacted. Their complexion changed as they immediately jumped down from the carriage. Then they didn't have time to care about the carriage as they ran towards Sealed Sword City.
At the same time, they heard rustling sounds coming from the forest on both sides. The unique stench of the beasts was also present.
On the other hand, the Rogue Cultivators who were still on their way or had already found a place to rest also noticed that something was wrong. They immediately shouted, but it was already too late. Soon, a large number of beasts rushed out from the forest. These beasts directly submerged these people.
Zhao Hai held Sheng Chao in one hand and Little Feng in the other as he ran forward at a very fast speed. Sheng Chao and his wife were experts at the tenth level of the Qi Transformation Realm. Because of this, they were able to keep up with Zhao Hai's footsteps.
Zhao Hai also noticed the two of them. He immediately shouted, "Hurry up. I think that even if it's not time for the monster beasts to attack the cities, it's almost time for them to start probing the big cities. We have to speed up."
The two nodded and didn't say anything else. They just followed Zhao Hai and ran forward. On the way, they passed by a village. However, there was no sound coming from the village. It was clear that the people in the village had already left.
The three didn't dare to stop and quickly ran forward. A lot of people were left behind by the three. This was something that couldn't be helped. After all, there was a difference in cultivation.
At this time, on both sides of Zhao Hai's path, some beasts ran out. These beasts directly rushed towards Zhao Hai and Sheng Chao. Upon seeing this situation, Sheng Chao's expression couldn't help but change. He knew that if they were entangled by these beasts, then they would be finished.
Zhao Hai's voice was heard, "Follow me closely. Don't worry about the situation on both sides." After saying that, he didn't stop and continued to run forward. Sheng Chao and his wife stared, but they still followed Zhao Hai's words and followed him closely.
Zhao Hai acted as if he didn't see these beasts. He directly rushed forward and knocked away all the beasts that stood in front of him. Although his clothes were tattered, they didn't cause any harm to him.
Zhao Hai was like a crazy elephant. He kept running forward, so everything in front of him was knocked away by him. Zhao Hai's unreasonable approach made Sheng Chao and his wife secretly surprised. The two of them didn't think that Zhao Hai's Body Cultivation had reached this level.
Although the people of this world divided the levels by refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into Spirit, refining Spirit into Void, and refining Void into Dao, for Body Cultivation, they also had their own way of dividing the levels. It was especially suitable for Body Cultivation. Most of Body Cultivation could be divided into four major levels: Skin Refining, Meridians Refining, Bone Refining, and Viscera Refining. Each major level would also be divided into three small stages: Upper, Middle, and Lower. As for the Skin Refining Realm, needless to say, it was to make one's iron skin become very tough, like an old cow's leather, and its defensive power was very strong. At the highest level, the skin on one's body would become as tough as rhino's skin plus elephant's skin, incomparably tough and difficult to be damaged by swords.
The Pulse Tempering Realm didn't only train the tendons in the body, it also trained the muscles and tendons together. A person who practiced to this level would have very tough muscles. His tendons were also very tough, allowing him to burst out with incredible strength. The strength of an ordinary person wouldn't be any worse than a beast.
The Bone Tempering Realm tempered one's bones until they were as tough as steel. Only then would it be considered a success. This was very difficult, and one had to endure a lot of hardships.
As for the last step of Viscera Refining, it was to cultivate the five viscera of the human body, making them even more powerful. Only by cultivating the five viscera and six palaces to a very powerful level could one become incomparably powerful. One could even achieve the realm of being impervious to all poisons and evils. This could be said to be the highest realm of Physique Cultivation.
Zhao Hai's current strength had definitely reached the Muscle Tempering Realm. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a strong strength, and also wouldn't have such a strong defense. It could be said that Zhao Hai was now like a beast in human form, incomparably powerful and infinitely strong.
After running all the way, they weren't too far away from Sealed Sword City. At this time, there weren't any beasts behind them, but the three of them still felt tired. However, Sheng Feng didn't feel this way. He was wrapped in Zhao Hai's beast skin, warm and comfortable. He was sleeping very soundly. Only Little Feng wasn't feeling well. He was being carried by Zhao Hai by his belt, and he didn't feel very good.
Although there were no more beasts around them, Zhao Hai and the others didn't dare to stop. Although the three of them were very tired, they still didn't dare to stop. They were still rushing towards the direction of Sealed Sword City. Finally, at noon, they were about two li away from Sealed Sword City. From here, they could clearly see the people on the city walls. Zhao Hai stopped when he saw that Zhao Hai and the others were able to see him.
Although Sheng Feng woke up, he was very sensible and didn't make any noise. Even if he was hungry, he didn't cry, nor did he say that he wanted to eat. He just quietly hid in the beast skin while being carried by Zhao Hai.
Naturally, Zhao Hai also noticed Sheng Feng's appearance. This made him like Sheng Feng even more. However, he didn't stop and continued running towards Sealed Sword City. When they were about two li away from Sealed Sword City, Zhao Hai slowed down his pace. Then he put down Little Feng and Sheng Feng.
When Little Feng was placed on the ground, he slowly got up and moved his body. After being carried for such a long time, he felt very uncomfortable. If he didn't circulate his spiritual qi from time to time, he would have been lying on the ground, unable to move. But even if he used his spiritual qi, he still felt that his blood wasn't flowing smoothly. It took him a long time to get up.
At this time, Zhao Hai let out a long breath, then he said, "Alright, we're finally here. Let's walk slowly. After we reach the city, we'll immediately report the situation we encountered. I believe that Sealed Sword City would be prepared." Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Alright, we're finally here.
Sheng Chao nodded, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Alright, then let's go. We'll be safe if we enter the city as soon as possible." Zhao Hai nodded and didn't object. He just led the three towards Sealed Sword City.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the city gate. The gate of the city was only half open, and the city gate looked very deserted. There was no one coming in or out, it was completely different from the bustling city of Sealed Sword City in the past.
When Zhao Hai and the others arrived at the city gate, they saw several cultivators from the Sealed Sword Sect standing behind the gate. Their complexions weren't very good. Zhao Hai and the others walked straight towards the city gate. When they entered, they saw several cultivators from the Sealed Sword Sect.
When Zhao Hai saw the group, he immediately said, "Benefactors, I've just returned from the Martial King Mountain. A large number of beasts had appeared there. We were chased all the way back. I wonder if this information would be of any use to Benefactors?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes.
