"The black tiger is out, evils retreat!"
It was a beautiful day.
A convoy of escorts traveled slowly on the official road. The escort at the front held an escort flag embroidered with a black tiger and led the way.
Fang Xian rode a date red horse and looked around with interest. This was the first time he was on an escort mission.
Beside him was the coquettishly dressed escort, Liu Yan, and the habitually expressionless Qian Sanwu.
"Hehe … Little Brother Fang, it's better for you to close your eyes and rest. This time, we need to deliver the goods to Black Mountain County. In the first half of the journey, there shouldn't be any bandits who have eaten the heart of a bear or the heart of a leopard to touch the tiger's whiskers.
"Black Mountain County …" Fang Xian had a faint smile on his face as he thought of the group of martial artists he sent away at the tea stall. They seemed to be from the School of Green Jade from this county.
After asking around, he found out that the School of Green Jade was indeed a second-rate force. Other than their Sect Leader, Han Yunfeng, who was suspected to be an Innate Master, there were no other disciples who could hold up the front.
"I wonder if there are any famous martial artists in Black Mountain County?"
Thinking of this, he could not help but ask.
"If we're talking about Black Mountain County, the most famous would naturally be the Mad Disciple."
At this moment, the expressionless Qian Sanwu suddenly spoke, and there was a hint of admiration in his tone.
"The Mad Disciple of the Twin Dragons, Four Kings, and Six Sect Leaders?" Fang Xian's interest was piqued. "He's actually from Black Mountain County?"
"Hehe … the average martial artist wouldn't know such a secret," Liu Yan laughed like a flower, "Only Escort Qian who's from Black Mountain County knows a thing or two."
"Why is that?"
"Because the imperial court wants to hide its shame, of course. Back then, this' Chu Kuangren 'was a man and a sword who killed his way through the Yuanwu Imperial Palace … "Liu Yan said," A monk, a Daoist, and a maniac are the supreme masters of the martial arts world today. Their reputation is far above the Twin Dragons, Four Kings, and the Sect Leaders of the Six Major Sects … And the reason why Chu Kuangren is more respected by Escort Qian is because he has neither the support of any orthodoxy or sect behind him, nor does he have any amazing inheritance or techniques. He only relied on external techniques to enter the Innate Stage and was invincible in hundreds of battles. "
"Senior expert, it's really admirable." During this period of time, Fang Xian would occasionally go to restaurants and other places to listen to news. He was not a rookie, but he still admired such grassroots experts.
Only those who had truly climbed up from the bottom would know that the amount of effort they had to put in was several times or even dozens of times that of those with outstanding backgrounds!
"I wonder what realm a supreme grandmaster is at …"
…
Ten days later.
Black Mountain County.
Azure Ape Mountain.
The mountain road here was rugged and full of apes. It was also a place where bandits frequented.
"Everyone, keep your spirits up. Once we pass this mountain pass, we'll go to the city to eat and drink!"
Qian Sanwu and the others held their weapons in their hands. Their gazes were wary of their surroundings. They were no longer as relaxed as before.
"Huh? Why did we stop? "
At this moment, the carriages suddenly stopped.
One of the armed escorts at the front jogged over. He wrapped his fist in his palm and reported, "Something happened up ahead. Escort leaders, please go and take a look."
Fang Xian nodded. He urged his horse forward and went to the front of the carriages with Liu Yan and Qian Sanwu.
A person was sprawled on the road ahead of them. His face was facing the ground, and his face could not be seen clearly. There was a pool of black blood around him that had almost solidified.
"He seems to be a scholar. He was robbed and even lost his life. What a sin!"
When Liu Yan saw him, she shook her head.
"Hmph, he didn't know his place. He deserved to die … What are you waiting for? Just clean him up and bury him! "
Qian Sanwu said coldly.
"Understood." The armed escorts looked at each other and were about to go forward to collect the corpse.
"Wait!"
Fang Xian suddenly whipped his horse.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Yan and Qian Sanwu looked at him strangely.
"How can you be sure that this person is dead? What if it's a fake trap?" Fang Xian said. "Our lives are also lives!"
"Hmph … I'm not blind. His body didn't move at all, and he wasn't even panting. Besides, there was so much blood … It's clear that he's dead."
Qian Sanwu snorted coldly. He was an experienced wanderer, and he had more experience than Fang Xian.
"I can't be sure. There might be evil martial arts that allow people to pretend to be dead in the world of wanderers!"
Fang Xian insisted on his own opinion.
He was not delusional or overly cautious. It was just that his Eye of Insight had seen that the person was still alive. Not only was he alive, he was also very healthy.
If such a healthy martial artist was lying on the road, it was clear that he did not intend to treat them to a meal.
Of course, this involved his trump card, so he could not say it out loud.
He thought about it and asked an escort to pass him a longbow.
This bow could not compare to a crossbow, but it was much better than the one he used to hunt. It had the strength of three stones.
"Hah!"
He sucked in a breath and shot an arrow at the 'corpse'.
Thud!
The arrow pierced the 'corpse's' back, but the 'corpse' did not move at all.
Caw, caw!
A few black crows cawed in the trees around them, and the situation became a little awkward.
"Haha …" Qian Sanwu's expressionless face burst into laughter. Liu Yan wanted to comfort Fang Xian. "It's good for young people to be cautious, but don't go overboard —"
Clang!
Clang! Before she finished speaking, Fang Xian shot another three arrows.
All of a sudden, the corpse 'moved'.
It quickly bounced up, as if it could walk without moving its knees. It retreated like a zombie.
But it was too late. After the two arrows missed, the last one pierced straight into its chest.
Thud!
Blood gushed out.
The 'zombie' held onto the tree trunk, his face full of grief and indignation. "Three Stars Rapid Arrow, good archery! I, 'Zombie Fist' Jiang Lang, would die here … That kid, how did you see through my 'Death Endurance Art'? "
Jiang Lang was filled with grief and indignation.
He was a famous bandit in the Black Mountain Commandery. Because he practiced the Zombie Fist, his body was like a dead man's. He often used this to lie on the official road to attract people's attention.
Once someone came near, he would kill them, and it would be easy.
He didn't expect that he would meet Fang Xian, this unruly person, who actually shot him with an arrow!
Could it be that this kid had a fetish for whipping corpses?
However, it was already too late to dodge at that time. Jiang Lang decided to go all out and decided to rely on a technique called the Art of Enduring Death. In fact, it was an evil technique that ignored the pain of the body and pretended to be a corpse to endure the attack.
In his heart, he was ready to tear the kid who shot the arrow into pieces.
But he did not expect that his' disguise ', which he sacrificed so much, was easily seen through by this kid.
"I didn't see through your 'Death Endurance Art' …"
Under the admiring and surprised gazes of the crowd, Fang Xian scratched his head in embarrassment. "I just felt that one arrow wasn't enough, so I tried a few more arrows …"
"Pfft!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Lang spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight to the ground.
The arrow wound on his back was only ordinary, but the arrow in his chest had directly pierced through his vitals. Even a deity would not be able to save him.
"Is he going to die from anger?"
The people of the escort agency looked at Fang Xian with strange expressions.
