Somewhere in Great Xia, the cold wind was whistling, and the surrounding forest was covered in white.
"Jia!" Seven or eight horsemen were galloping on the official road at full speed, and the pedestrians on the road all gave way to them.
The man in front was dressed in embroidered clothes with a fur cloak draped over his shoulders. He looked young, and his face was cold. The people behind him were all dressed in tight clothes and cloaks, and all of them had a small stream embroidered on their chests.
This was the symbol of the Lian family, and anyone with some knowledge in the nearby prefectures could recognize it. After all, the Lian family was considered the number one power in Zhijiang Prefecture.
At this moment, other than the man in embroidered clothes who still looked cold, the rest of the people looked relaxed. This mission didn't require much effort, and the Lian family gave them a lot of points. Many people were thinking about whether they should exchange the points for money or exchange them for a martial arts manual.
Just as they turned around a col, the man in embroidered clothes suddenly felt alarmed. He pressed his palms on the back of the horse, and his whole body flew out like a roc spreading its wings.
At the same time, dozens of arrows were shot from both sides, and all of them were surrounded.
The remaining six or seven horsemen roared and wanted to draw their swords, but they were all hit by the arrows and fell off their horses. Only two of them managed to escape with injuries on their bodies.
"Who's there? Come out! "The man in embroidered clothes shouted in the air, drew his sword, and pounced on the figures that appeared on both sides.
"Zhu Chengjun, you'll stay here today!" Two figures followed the shout and flew forward. One of them was holding a serrated knife, and the back of the knife was serrated, which could be used to block people's weapons. The other person was holding a short stick.
Zhu Chengjun's expression changed when he saw the weapons in their hands. He knew both of them, and they were both from the Lian family. Among the four remaining consecrators of the Lian family, only the two of them were from the Lian family. The one holding the serrated knife was called Lian Peng, and the other was called Lian Zhan.
Zhu Chengjun blocked the long knife with his sword, and focused all his attention on the short stick.
As expected, when it was about to get close to him, the short stick suddenly elongated, and a steel awl-like point emerged from the front end. It shook out six plum blossoms in the air, covering Zhu Chengjun's entire body from top to bottom.
"As expected." Zhu Chengjun thought to himself. If he didn't happen to know the secret of his opponent's short rod, he would have fallen into his trap.
A series of clanging sounds could be heard in the air. Zhu Chengjun exchanged a few moves with the other two. Even though he was fighting one against two, he was only slightly at a disadvantage.
"Your strength has actually improved again. Considering your age, you are indeed a talent. " Lian Zhan's expression changed in the air, and he could not help but praise. He did not expect that the two of them could only barely suppress him in a single exchange.
"A living talent is a talent," Lian Peng said coldly.
"You all …" Zhu Chengjun was initially puzzled and angry. They were obviously all consecrated members of the Lian Clan, so why did they suddenly attack him? Moreover, it seemed like they were determined to kill him.
But at this moment, something suddenly flashed through his mind.
"You're here with the Seven Branches Sect to kill me?" Zhu Chengjun shouted angrily after he landed.
"Go down and ask the King of Hell," Lian Peng said coldly.
After Zhu Chengjun landed on the ground, he scanned his surroundings and saw dozens of people surrounding him with knives in their hands.
"Lian Qizhi sent people to assassinate Qi Zixiao's lover, luring Qi Zixiao to the Nine Pavilions. In the end, the Nine Pavilions were destroyed, and Emperor Xia lost over ten thousand elite soldiers. Do you all think that you can live after killing me? Lian Qizhi killed me today, and tomorrow, it will be your turn. "
Hearing this, the faces of the two knights who were lucky enough to survive immediately turned pale and filled with despair.
Lian Peng's and Lian Zhan's expressions changed drastically. Then, Lian Peng sneered and said, "These people can't hear anything. You are wasting your efforts. As for the two of us, you don't have to worry about us. "
Zhu Chengjun glanced at the people around him and asked, "Do you all think you can keep me here?"
"What if you include me?" A voice came from another direction.
"Lian Qizhi! How dare you appear! "Zhu Chengjun gritted his teeth and looked over. "You are at the peak of the Man Wheel level …"
Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly froze, and swallowed the remaining half of the sentence, 'I'll kill you first', into his stomach.
Lian Qizhi's joints were cracking, and his qi and blood were rolling in his body like thunder. His aura was rising steadily from the peak of the Man Wheel level, to the initial stage of the Earth Wheel level, to the intermediate stage of the Earth Wheel level, all the way to the advanced stage of the Earth Embryo level.
"Why do you think I am the master of the Lian family?" Lian Qizhi was all smiles. At this moment, he was three inches taller than before.
Zhu Chengjun was speechless. Lian Qizhi had always revealed his strength at the peak of the Man Wheel level to the outside world, even though many people felt that he wasn't qualified to be the master. Unexpectedly, he was the most powerful person in the Lian family.
"Now, you can go in peace. It's a pity that you don't have any family members. Otherwise, I could help you take good care of them. But it's good that you don't have to worry about being alone. "Lian Qizhi smiled.
"I'll kill you!" Zhu Chengjun looked like he was going to die. There were three Earth Wheel experts, and one of them was even at the advanced stage of the Earth Wheel level. He definitely couldn't escape. He raised his qi and blood to the maximum and pounced on Lian Qizhi. Even if he died, he wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from Lian Qizhi's body.
Lian Qizhi flipped his hands and shot out 13 silver beads in a row. All of them hit the body of Zhu Chengjun's sword. When the last bead hit the sword, a "dang" sound was heard. The sword in Zhu Chengjun's hand broke, and his shoulder was pierced by the remaining force of the last bead. His whole body rolled backward and landed on the ground.
Zhu Chengjun covered his shoulder with one hand and was overwhelmed with shock. His sword was considered a rare weapon that could even split a boulder in his hand. Yet, it was actually broken by the opponent's silver beads. Lian Qizhi was so strong?
"You can die in peace now," Lian Qizhi said softly as he didn't chase after Zhu Chengjun.
Just when Zhu Chengjun knew that he was going to die for sure and everyone thought that the outcome was a foregone conclusion, a burst of applause suddenly came from a tree not far away.
Everyone was startled by the applause, especially Lian Qizhi. There was actually someone hiding in the vicinity without him noticing. Who exactly was it?
They saw a young scholar sitting on the tree with a bookcase on his back. He looked like a scholar who was rushing to take an exam. After carefully sensing his aura, he wasn't much different from an ordinary person.
However, no one realized that there was someone up there. Even a fool would know that he wasn't an ordinary person. At this moment, they didn't dare to act rashly.
"When I saw you guys coming over half a day ago, I already felt that it would be fun. I didn't expect it to be this fun. This is really too interesting. Qi Zixiao will definitely be very happy to receive you guys as a gift." The scholar was all smiles.
"Who are you?" Lian Qizhi was flustered, but he forced himself to remain calm on the surface.
"Sword, come." The scholar didn't reply. Instead, he stretched out his hand towards the sky and let out a long cry.
"You are the sword master?" Lian Qizhi's facial expression changed. The other party was actually an extremely rare sword master. Furthermore, he didn't have his sword with him. Lian Qizhi immediately felt extremely regretful. Eighteen silver beads in his hand shot towards the other party's body with a piercing sound.
"Aiyo, don't be anxious." The scholar seemed to have missed a step, and his entire body fell towards the bottom of the tree. At the same time, a long sword sneakily flew out of the forest and directly landed in the hands of the falling scholar.
The scholar was Ning Caichen and the sword was Lu Zhu.
Ever since the last time she went to Dayao, Lu Zhu had been sneaking around like a thief.
…
After a while, Ning Caichen grabbed Zhu Chengjun with one hand and ran for his life like a happy rabbit. The book case behind him was inlaid with a whole row of silver beads. If it was taken off, it would be worth at least dozens of taels of silver.
Lian Qizhi's silver bullets could even penetrate a one-foot thick tree, but they couldn't penetrate this simple and crude book case.
"When I heard you say 'receive you guys as a gift', I thought you were going to tie them up and give them to Qi Zixiao." Zhu Chengjun endured the pain in his body and couldn't help but say. He didn't care whether the other party would answer him or not. Anyway, he just wanted to speak now.
At this moment, Zhu Chengjun had a few more injuries on his body, especially on his legs. When Ning Caichen appeared, he thought he had met an expert. He didn't expect the other party to actually grab him and run away.
He should have thanked the other party for saving him, but he actually used him to block the silver bullets. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so badly injured and his legs were badly mutilated.
"Anyway, I can just hand you over to Qi Zixiao. Why do I have to do it myself?" Ning Caichen's forehead was sweating. When he heard the shouting coming from behind, he quickened his pace.
