"Iron Mountain Martial Arts School is a good choice for you!"
Yang Dong looked at Li Fan and advised, "I used to be just as young and impetuous as you, but in the end, I also returned to an ordinary life."
"Old Yang, stop patting yourself on the back!"
"No martial arts school wanted you when you were young!"
"He traveled far away with his sword for forty years, and in the end returned to the county town with nothing to show for it."
"No, at least he brought back a little girl."
“Xiaoqian doesn’t look like you at all, you old man.”
Laughter from fellow caravan owners could be heard all around.
"Don't hit someone in the face, and don't insult someone by revealing their weaknesses."
Yang Dong muttered, "A bunch of bastards."
Listening to the jokes and banter around him, Li Fan did not join in.
Yang Dong runs a fur business in Guangnan County.
He collected most of the furs in Qingyang Town.
Other merchants were not willing to make a trip to Qingyang Town just for the occasional few hides.
......
"Let's set up camp and rest. We'll depart early tomorrow morning, and tonight I'll treat everyone to drinks at Chunfenglou!"
When it got completely dark, Hu Yidao ordered everyone to stop.
A campfire was lit, and a simple tent was set up.
Hu Fei walked over carrying three large pieces of roasted meat.
"Fan Ge, Lao Yang, let's grab some!"
"I won't stand on ceremony, old man!"
Yang Dong accepted the roasted meat with a grin.
Thank you!
Li Fan did not refuse.
The roasted meat was cut in two, half for myself and half for the wolf cub.
"Brother Fan, today I finally understand why you didn't want to join the Iron Mountain Martial Arts School!"
"And what do you understand?"
"The Iron Mountain Martial Arts School is too small to nurture a true dragon. You must want to storm into the Central Plains, trample all the geniuses under your feet, and become an invincible being!"
"You're a little bit off your mind!"
Li Fan glanced at Hu Fei.
He only wanted to kill people, go to Nanzhou to learn martial arts, become stronger, ideally become invincible, and if he couldn't become invincible, he would improve until he couldn't improve any further.
As for storming into Zhongzhou and trampling on all kinds of geniuses, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
"Read fewer fictional novels in the future. The martial arts world isn't all about fighting and killing!"
Having eaten Hu Fei's flesh, Li Fan didn't recommend saying anything more.
"Okay, Brother Fan, I understand!"
Hu Fei nodded.
"Young man, there's something this old man doesn't quite understand!"
Yang Dong looked at Hu Fei and asked, "Why are you so sure that Li Fan is a master?"
"Brother Fan looks just like a master!"
Hu Fei paused and added, "Handsome appearance, cool demeanor!"
"And what about me, this old man? Do I look like a peerless master?"
Yang Dong looked at Hu Fei with anticipation.
"Mr. Yang, your appearance is rather... indescribable!"
"Get the hell out of here!"
......
In the dead of night, the snoring was deafening.
About two miles from the camp, more than thirty riders appeared like ghosts.
All the horseshoes were wrapped in cloth.
Chen Qing said in a low voice, "Kill them first, then rob them!"
"I'll charge, and you'll follow me!"
In the darkness, the members of the Qingfeng Thieves nodded.
......
Bang!
The heavy object landed, and Li Fan, who was leaning against the horse sleeping, opened his eyes.
A bundle of furs fell to the ground beside the carriage.
etc!
wrong.
Li Fan pressed himself against the ground, and a slight vibration was felt.
The sound of horses' hooves; there were quite a few people.
They've come with ill intentions!
He ducked and sped up to rush in front of Hu Fei.
Wake up!
"Fan...Brother Fan, what's wrong?"
"Wake everyone up! There are bandits!"
"ah!"
Before Hu Fei could react, Li Fan had vanished from his sight.
He rubbed his eyes hard, watching the fleeting black shadow to confirm it wasn't a hallucination.
"Thief attack!"
"alert!"
Hu Fei roared, and martial artists rushed out of the tent.
The entire camp was alerted.
"Boss, we've been spotted!"
"kill!"
In the darkness, the Qingfeng bandits began their charge.
Chen Qing took the lead, his long sword unleashing a series of sword energies.
The martial artist he attacked was cut in half before he could even react.
"You scoundrel, how dare you!"
Seeing this, Hu Yidao grabbed his broadsword and charged at Chen Qing.
Clang!
In the darkness, metal clanged and sparks flew.
Hu Yidao's burly body was blasted away like a cannonball.
The Qingfeng bandits used the momentum of their horses to successfully break into the enemy formation.
"It's the Qingfeng Thief!"
"Run for your lives!"
"Giddy up! Giddy up! Giddy up!"
"Mommy, run!"
The martial arts instructors at Tieshan Martial Arts School were still putting up a fight, but the small merchant caravans were panicking.
The Qingfeng bandits had robbed many caravans.
These thieves were all martial artists.
He was a skilled rider, moving swiftly like the wind.
He never leaves anyone alive after committing a crime.
If you don't run now, you'll never have another chance.
The caravan owner ran away, and the guards naturally followed suit.
"Mommy, run!"
Yang Dong picked up the fur that had fallen to the ground and drove away.
It was as if he didn't have Li Fan as his bodyguard.
Li Fan, carrying a knife, disappeared into the darkness like a ghost.
......
In their first charge, the Qingfeng bandits killed eight martial arts masters from the Tieshan Martial Arts School.
After they rushed past, Hu Yidao organized the remaining dozen or so martial artists to quickly surround them.
Meanwhile, the Qingfeng bandits changed direction and surrounded them.
"Chen Qing, name your price, my Iron Mountain Martial Arts School is willing to pay!"
Hu Yidao continued, "You've come here seeking wealth, there's no need for both of us to suffer losses."
"The goods we are escorting also belong to the county magistrate. If you manage to rob them, the county magistrate will not let it go!"
"Hu Yidao, what's my strength? What's your strength? If we both get injured, are you out of your mind?!"
Chen Qing smiled knowingly and said, "The county magistrate? That's the one I'll rob!"
After saying that, he dismounted and charged at Hu Yidao with his sword.
A group of Qingfeng bandits also surrounded and attacked.
"kill!"
Seeing this, Hu Yidao no longer harbored any illusions.
He gathered his inner energy and charged towards Chen Qing.
Chen Qing is at the mid-stage of the sixth rank, and only I can restrain him in the entire team.
The longer you hold out, the greater the chance of others escaping.
......
"Brothers, let's fight them!"
From the Iron Mountain Martial Arts School, the remaining martial artists charged out in an arrow formation.
Yang Huai held a sword as the arrowhead, while two fifth-rank martial artists served as the spearheads.
Hu Fei and other slightly weaker martial artists were in the center.
"Trying to run? Have you asked Grandpa about the knife he has?"
Wang Qiang brandished his broadsword and charged towards Yang Huai.
The slender Gao Yuan carried a sword and followed behind him without saying a word.
The sword and the blade worked together seamlessly.
As soon as they started fighting, Yang Huai was left with several wounds.
Whenever Yang Huai charged up for an attack, the two would quickly retreat.
When Yang Huai was exhausted, the two men surrounded him again.
The Qingfeng bandits around them used the same fighting method.
"You despicable and shameless fellow! Do you dare to fight me for three hundred rounds?!"
Yang Huai roared angrily.
But his shouts only earned him ridicule.
"Fool, I'll fight you for three hundred rounds! You try to last three hundred rounds first!"
Wang Qiang's lips curved slightly.
The next second, the smile on his face froze.
Why are my hands not obeying my commands?
Wang Qiang tried to turn around, but the world spun around him, and all he could see was his own headless corpse.
"Who are you?"
Gao Yuan was startled and turned around to stab Li Fan with his sword.
Click!
Before his sword could even touch the corner of Li Fan's clothes.
Li Fan's powerful slash cleaved him in two.
It's him!
Yang Huai was stunned for a second when he saw Li Fan appear like a ghost.
He immediately realized, "Reinforcements have arrived! Kill Qingfeng the thief!"
Battlefield clashes are all about momentum.
The sudden deaths of Wang Qiang and Gao Yuan had already terrified the Qingfeng bandits who were besieging them.
Coupled with Yang Huai's roar, the Qingfeng bandits who had been surrounding and attacking them began to retreat.
But when they wanted to back out, Li Fan didn't give them the chance.
He charged wildly through the formation with the force of a plowshare sweeping through the enemy lines.
In less than ten breaths, the Qingfeng bandits were all killed without leaving a trace.
Seeing that things were not going well, Chen Qingzhen opened his sword, flipped onto his horse, and prepared to escape.
Just then, a silver figure appeared, and the little silver wolf bit the horse's leg.
"Neigh~ Neigh~"
The horse neighed in pain, then lost its balance and fell forward.
Chen Qing leaped off his horse with a push of his feet.
Li Fan followed closely behind.
Before long, Chen Qing's unwilling roar echoed from the darkness.
Who are you?!
Then, the roar abruptly stopped.
