Thump! Thump! Thump!
Lin Xiaofei stood inside the spatial bead, looking at the scene before him. He saw a middle-aged man running briskly from the bushes not far away.
Lin Xiaofei felt a little nervous, but he was also a little excited during the escape, as if he were going through a battle.
Of course, he knew that although he had mastered the Green Peak Leg technique, if he were to fight someone who was about to charge at him, he would probably lose his life in less than a round.
A figure gradually ran towards Lin Xiaofei's location.
One hundred meters, fifty meters, ten meters, the man came directly to the boulder, holding a long knife in his right hand. He had only run two or three meters away from the boulder when he stopped.
"Hmm? Where are all the signs of that child running away?"
Looking at the neatly growing grass in front of him, the middle-aged man said in a low voice.
He had been tracking Lin Xiaofei all the way, following the faint traces Lin Xiaofei left when he rushed into the bushes, but when he got to this boulder, there were no traces left.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, ran forward for more than ten meters, looked around, then ran back to the boulder and said, "This is really a ghost story. The child clearly ran here, how come he has disappeared?"
Lin Xiaofei looked at the person in front of him, who was very close.
The middle-aged man leaned against the boulder, looking puzzled. He was clearly much stronger than an average adult.
Lin Xiaofei estimated that with the power of his fully mastered Green Peak Leg technique, if he kicked out through the spatial bead, he might not be able to kill the person leaning against the boulder.
The man turned his head and glanced at them, his brows furrowing slightly. He said in a low voice, "How about I go and help my eldest and second brothers? Otherwise, they might not be a match for Wang Shan."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei, who was inside the spatial bead, was startled and thought to himself, "I can't let him go and deal with Uncle Wang."
The reason he was able to harvest a lot of medicinal roots in the past few days was because Wang Shan took him to the herb farm. Therefore, he didn't want Wang Shan to help his older brothers and thus deal with Wang Shan. Otherwise, how would he obtain medicinal herbs in the future?
While the middle-aged man hesitated, Lin Xiaofei quickly picked up an oval-shaped stone from a corner of the spatial bead, estimated to weigh seven or eight pounds. He then took a few steps back inside the spatial bead, keeping a distance of ten meters from the giant rock outside, and immediately unleashed his fully-developed Azure Peak Leg technique, maximizing the power of his legs.
Without hesitation, Lin Xiaofei sprinted forward like a wild horse.
At the same time, he forcefully swung a stone in his hand and threw the spatial bead out.
Bang!
A stone slammed heavily onto the middle-aged man's head with a loud thud.
Blood splattered!
"ah!"
The middle-aged man screamed and collapsed to the ground!
Inside the spatial bead, Lin Xiaofei saw that the man lying on the ground was not moving, so he quickly walked out of the spatial bead, came to the middle-aged man's side, squatted down, and reached out his finger to touch the lower part of the man's neck, feeling the pulse beating.
"Huh? He's still alive."
Lin Xiaofei was startled. Without hesitation, he picked up the long knife that the other man had dropped and killed him.
He knew that if he didn't kill the other person, he would be in trouble once the other person woke up.
Soon, Lin Xiaofei chose a direction, started running, and planned to go and see Wang Shan. After all, he now had a long knife in his hand, which could be somewhat lethal.
Before long, he saw three people fighting in a grove of trees and bushes in the distance.
"Wang Shan, you wronged me terribly back then. Today is your death day. You can't escape it."
A man's loud voice rang out.
"snort.
Back then, we ambushed and killed that wounded Taoist priest. The Taoist priest's possessions were meant for you to choose first, and you had to choose the immortal techniques and secret manuals yourself.
You have cultivated immortal arts for many years without any results, but you saw that I had taken a sword technique and several bottles of pills, which made my martial arts improve a little. You became jealous and wanted to kill me.
Originally, I didn't want to bother with you and went into hiding, but who would have thought you'd find me? However, I'm not the same person I used to be. I'll show you what I'm capable of.
Wang Shan, a cold voice rang out, and with a swing of his sword, a bright sword light suddenly flew away at lightning speed, a whirlwind of sword shadows.
This sword strike was different from ordinary swordsmanship; it even carried a trace of sword energy.
They intercepted the attacks of both men with unparalleled accuracy.
"What? You actually cultivated sword energy?"
A middle-aged man's expression changed, and his voice trembled slightly. Then, he gritted his teeth, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, and shouted, "Second brother, we need to attack faster, or we won't be able to take him down!"
Then, the two charged forward, facing the astonishing sword energy.
However, Wang Shan wielded his longsword with lightning speed, barely managing to withstand the attacks of the two men. Fortunately, he had cultivated sword energy, which greatly increased the power of his swordsmanship; otherwise, he would have been no match for them at all.
"Xiaofei, come help me."
Seeing Lin Xiaofei rushing over, Zhao Baichuan shouted, his long sword swirling around, its aura menacing, a terrifying killing intent emanating from his swordsmanship.
Upon hearing this, one of the men was startled and sensed someone rushing towards him from behind. He was momentarily distracted, but unexpectedly, a sword aura struck him directly in the chest, causing him to stagger backward and be thrown away by a tremendous force.
With a flash of his eyes, Lin Xiaofei was startled. He saw a person fall directly in front of him. Before the person could stand up, he slashed fiercely with his long sword.
puff!
A two-finger-wide gash appeared on the man's throat, blood gushed out, his body trembled, and he died quickly.
Another middle-aged man charged directly at Wang Shan without the slightest fear, wielding a long knife and swiftly cutting through the crowd.
A flash of light, and the blade came hurtling towards him with a powerful force.
"Good timing!"
Although Wang Shan was also injured, his martial arts skills had already entered the late stage of the Stream-Entry realm. In addition, he had been secretly cultivating his martial arts in the Medicine Pavilion for many years, and his strength and speed had been honed to the point that they were comparable to those of a peak Stream-Entry martial artist.
His longsword, with its speed, power, and precision, slashed directly at the opponent's incoming longsword. Then, he stepped forward, his figure flashed, and he swiftly kicked out, striking the opponent's chest directly.
The man fell to the ground, and Wang Shan rushed forward and stabbed him in the chest with his sword. The man coughed up blood, struggled a few times, and died.
Lin Xiaofei was stunned. He hadn't expected Uncle Wang to be so powerful. He saw all of this and looked around at the nearby woods. Finding no one there, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Shan's fight with that person was too fast and his methods were also very ruthless. In the blink of an eye, he killed a person. With a swing of his sword, Wang Shan killed his opponent in one fell swoop, letting him know what a master was.
"Quickly search his belongings, we need to get out of here right now!"
Seeing Lin Xiaofei's surprised expression, Wang Shan quickly said, "The battle is taking place nearby outside the city, not too far from the city gate. It shouldn't be long before the government troops arrive."
If the government troops arrive, they will definitely seal off this place temporarily, and then it won't be easy for them to leave.
Nodding, Lin Xiaofei glanced at the corpse not far from him, quickly stepped forward, and pulled a small package from the corpse's clothing.
Without even glancing at it, Lin Xiaofei picked up the small package and rushed out of the woods with Wang Shan.
Walking on the dirt road, Lin Xiaofei felt extremely nervous. Before long, he saw a group of soldiers running towards him on the road ahead.
Just as Lin Xiaofei and Wang Shan were about to reach the city gate and return to the Medicine Pavilion, they stopped in their tracks.
"Xiaofei, we can't rush back now."
Suddenly, Wang Shan, who was standing to the side, grabbed Lin Xiaofei and said something.
Lin Xiaofei was alarmed, thinking that Wang Shan was going to deal with him. After all, he had just witnessed the other party kill someone and pick up a package. If the package was Wang Shan's spoils of war, then the other party had not asked him for it.
Thinking back to that time, Wang Shan fought those two men. The speed of his swordsmanship was incredible. He originally thought that the other party was someone who had retired from the gang, and that his martial arts skills were average. Who would have thought that the other party's martial arts skills were amazing, and that he was able to fight two highly skilled people. In the end, those two people also died.
"Our mission isn't finished yet, is it a bad idea to go back now?"
Seeing that Lin Xiaofei didn't speak, Wang Shan said, "Although we encountered a bit of an accident, we still have to get the work done, otherwise we'll get scolded again when we get back, or even be punished."
"When we were returning just now, there were quite a few soldiers at another fork in the road. If we go to get the herbs and goods, will they question us?"
Lin Xiaofei voiced his doubts, and after thinking about it, he realized that Wang Shan was right.
Although they were intercepted, both of them were basically unharmed and had not suffered any injuries. Going back empty-handed like this would definitely result in punishment.
