In this situation, only he could remain calm like Niu Youdao. He ignored the danger around him and followed closely behind Niu Youdao. In this dangerous situation, he did not panic and maintained his speed.
At this moment, gusts of wind shot out from his fingertips like formless arrows.
Bang bang bang, a series of explosions could be heard. The dozens of sword qi were instantly destroyed by the finger force.
Dozens of assassins joined hands and pounced over. The flowery robe man waved his sleeves and his fingers moved like a phantom. His fingers flashed like lightning as if they could destroy everything.
The sound of swords blocking could be heard.
The sound of blood bursting out from the body.
Some of them had bloody holes in their hearts. Some of them had red and white wounds on their foreheads. Some of them had multiple bloody holes in their chests.
The dozens of assassins could not even get within ten feet of the two mounts. They fell to the ground like leaves being swept away by a gust of wind.
Guan Fangyi, who had just turned around and screamed, saw this scene. She sucked in a breath of cold air. She was shocked. Who exactly was this flowery robe man?
Amidst the violent gales, Niu Youdao rode on his horse calmly and unhurriedly. There were traces of blood on the corner of the mouth of the startled horse that was forcefully pulled by the reins. The corpse that had just fallen to the ground was trampled by the horse's hooves.
When more assassins approached, the flowery robe man waved his sleeves and someone fell to the ground. Killing these assassins was as easy as chopping vegetables.
At this moment, five large flying beasts hurriedly flew across the sky. It could be said that there were many people hanging on them. Even the flying beasts' claws had people hanging on them.
Almost all the people on the flying beasts were using Qi to fly. They were only borrowing the strength of the flying beasts because they were afraid that they would be a burden to the flying beasts.
This method was only suitable for short-distance flying. It was used for emergencies. If it was a long-distance flying, the cultivator's magic power would not be able to handle it.
The five flying beasts flew across the sky and threw down a group of black shadows. Fifty masked men in black instantly flew down and joined the battle.
Seeing that the reinforcements had arrived, Niu Youdao made a hand gesture. Guan Fangyi immediately shouted, "Ten Thousand Grotto-Abode disciples, retreat!"
How could there be any Ten Thousand Caves Mansion disciples left? Out of the ten people, only three managed to escape. In just a short period of time, seven of them had died, and the remaining three were also injured. They hurriedly chased after Niu Youdao and the others.
Niu Youdao continued to move forward on his horse. Whenever he encountered a pit caused by the battle, he would jump over it, completely ignoring his surroundings.
A group of masked men dressed in black from head to toe escorted them as they continued forward. Groups of masked assassins dressed in different colors besieged them along the way.
Not long after, five flying mounts swept across the sky, and another group of black-clothed masked men were thrown down.
At this point, both sides were evenly matched in terms of numbers. However, the masked men protecting Niu Youdao were clearly stronger than the assassins.
After observing the surroundings for a moment, the flower-robed man asked, "Where did you find so many experts?"
Niu Youdao replied, "How would I dare to call myself an expert in front of you."
He did not answer directly, so the flower-robed man did not ask any further.
When the third batch of assassins descended from the sky, it was obvious that the assassins could no longer succeed. The situation was one-sided, and not in their favor. They could not even get close to Niu Youdao, not to mention assassinating him. They could only retreat.
"Retreat!" Following a whistle, the group of assassins rapidly retreated.
Niu Youdao, who had been watching from the side, coldly shouted, "Kill without mercy!"
Other than the twenty black-clothed masked men who flew to the left and right to protect the emperor, the rest of the black-clothed masked men immediately turned around and chased after the group of retreating assassins.
The assassins who were fleeing into the forest had no choice but to risk their lives again. Not long after they entered the forest, they discovered another group of masked men rushing over.
This time, they were not airdropped. Instead, they encountered a group of masked men who were heading in their direction to surround them.
They encountered a group of people who were experts in assassination!
After the battle subsided, the group of masked men quickly retreated. As they retreated, they brought along the corpses of their companions …
After exiting the forest, the twenty masked men escorted Niu Youdao and the rest along the official road until they arrived at a relay station.
The masked men rushed into the relay station and quickly searched the entire relay station. This situation scared the people in the relay station. Sun Linxian, whose arm was injured, came out to comfort them as a disciple of the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Abode.
Niu Youdao, who was sitting on the back of his horse, observed his surroundings until a masked man in black came over and nodded. After confirming that there was no problem with the relay station, Niu Youdao jumped off the horse and let everyone rest for a while before continuing on with their journey. After all, they had been rushing for almost half a day since they left the Gold Province.
Turning back, Niu Youdao and a masked man in black briefly talked. Soon, a fire was lit in the relay station, and a trail of black smoke rose.
Not long after, five birds flew over from afar. As they swooped past the relay station, the twenty masked men in black soared into the sky and boarded the five birds to evacuate.
Standing in the relay station, the man in colorful clothes watched this scene for a while before turning back to look at Niu Youdao, who was talking to Sun Linxian.
"You've worked hard. How are your injuries?" Niu Youdao asked Sun Linxian.
Sun Linxian shook his head sadly. "I'm fine. Before we set off, Master clearly informed us of the risks. We were already mentally prepared."
Niu Youdao: "I've already contacted your Master. He will take care of the rest. You guys can stay here. Your Master will send someone to pick you up."
Sun Linxian raised his head and asked in surprise, "Aren't we supposed to escort you to the Green Mountain County of the Southern Province?"
Niu Youdao: "You guys are already in such a state. How are you going to escort me? You saw it just now. The people who were secretly escorting me have arrived. You guys don't have to take the risk anymore. I saw that you guys risked your lives to escort me. I will contact Sect Leader Situ later. The Ten Thousand Grottoes Mansion will reward you guys handsomely. "
After saying that, he nodded and turned to leave. He didn't say anything else.
Actually, there wasn't much. The people who were secretly escorting him had already arrived. The people who were secretly protecting him had always been there. However, it wasn't convenient for them to follow him openly. It wasn't convenient for them to bring someone with them. If they brought too many strangers, they would be worried that the enemy would have misgivings. The disciples of the Ten Thousand Grottoes were naturally the most suitable candidates. Thus, these disciples of the Ten Thousand Grottoes were just bait placed in the open.
To put it bluntly, he was sacrificing them.
Guan Fangyi walked to the side of the man in colorful clothes. She wanted to know who he was.
However, the man ignored her. He looked at Niu Youdao, who was passing by. He used his words to stab Niu Youdao. "You are using the lives of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Grottoes as bait!"
Niu Youdao stopped in his tracks. He held his sword in front of him and smiled at him. However, his words were cold and emotionless. "This is just the beginning. There will be a bigger storm coming. The necessary sacrifices are unavoidable. I can't protect everyone's lives. I can only try my best to protect as many lives as possible."
The man in colorful clothes said, "But, when there was danger, the ones who risked their lives were others. From the beginning to the end, you didn't even move a finger."
Niu Youdao said, "Risking my life! Once I make a move, I will be risking my life. I don't like risking my life with others. If I can avoid it, I will. If someone else makes a move, why should I do it myself? I don't like bloodshed! "
The man in colorful clothes said, "Isn't it bloody to let others kill people?"
Niu Youdao said, "I don't like fighting and killing. I don't make a move easily!"
The man in colorful clothes thought of the situation when the other party was indifferent and forced him to make a move. "You are really shameless!"
Niu Youdao nodded and thanked him. He entered the relay station and prepared to wash his face.
After he left, Guan Fangyi approached the man in colorful clothes and asked, "Who are you?"
The man in colorful clothes said, "Is it important who I am? But you, I have heard that you are Jing Qi's Matchmaker. Do you really intend to be with him for the rest of your life? "
"I don't want to be with him either. Like you said, he is shameless. I was tricked by him. Sigh, let's not talk about bad things anymore. It hurts to talk about it. " Guan Fangyi helped him in a charming manner. Since the other party was unwilling to reveal his identity, she didn't ask anymore. She bowed slightly and left.
After entering the relay station, she found Niu Youdao, who was washing his face. She asked, "Who is the man dressed like a concubine outside?"
Concubine? Niu Youdao, who was covering his face with a towel, put down his hand and laughed involuntarily. He shook his head and said, "He didn't allow me to say. I don't dare to say."
Guan Fangyi rolled her eyes. It was useless to ask anymore. She frowned and said, "You have already successfully lured the enemy, and you still want to ride? Do you think he will take the bait again? "
Niu Youdao said, "Do you think he will let it go?"
Guan Fangyi said, "I'm afraid he won't let you go so easily. But since he has already tried, he won't fall for the same trick again. There is no need to ride so slowly."
"If he won't let it go, then I will give him some time to prepare. Do you think I just want to kill a few people to teach them a lesson? This time, it is to remind them that this little bit of strength is not enough to deal with me. The next time you attack me, remember, it is fine if you don't attack, but when you attack, you must use your full strength! " He wiped his hands with a towel and threw it to the side. "This time, there is no need to be secretive. I will let them know clearly where I am. Since there is no way to avoid it, then let's do it. One punch to avoid a hundred punches. Send a message to Huang Lie and ask him to come to Thatched Cottage Villa … Don't be so direct, or else Sect Master Huang will be unhappy. Just say that there is an urgent matter to discuss with him. "
…
In the mountain, Zhao Sen, who had read the secret letter, handed it to Gao Shaoming.
After Gao Shaoming read the letter, he turned pale with fright. "More than a hundred experts were wiped out. Not a single one escaped. How is this possible?"
Zhao Sen said, "My men went to the scene and checked the corpses for you. There shouldn't be any mistakes. I told you that they deliberately set up a trap, but you just had to jump into it. "
Gao Shaoming asked, "How many of your men did you lose?"
Zhao Sen looked to the side. "I found that the situation was not right and that the other party had prepared a large number of people to surround us. Do I still need to send my men to their deaths?"
"You …" Gao Shaoming was furious and pointed at him.
Zhao Sen looked at him coldly. "You shouldn't have acted hastily. Why? Are you trying to push the blame to me? You were eager to succeed and jumped into the trap, and you want to blame me? I think you should think about how you are going to explain to the Yan Court after losing so many people! "
"Humph!" Gao Shaoming snorted coldly and frowned. "Where did he get so many experts to protect him?"
