As the caravan moved forward, the middle-aged warrior named Zhou Taoyuan was much more talkative than Ding Pengju. He told Sikong Wu some unimportant things, letting Sikong Wu know a little about the caravan.
The owner of this caravan is the old man in a green robe, his name is Kong Xing, who is from Wuhe Prefecture in Tailing County. The employees and guards of the caravan are basically from Wuhe Prefecture. A few of them still have some money in the caravan. .
The destination of the caravan is also Wuhe Mansion, which happens to be on the Kuncang Mountain Road where Sikong Wu is going. Therefore, Sikong Wu is not in a hurry and plans to observe Ding Pengju's temperament on the way. If it is suitable, there should be a high possibility that Qishan will be brought under his command. .
This young man serves as a caravan guard just for money, which is what Sikong Wu lacks the most.
Sikong Wu naturally didn¡¯t believe in the domineering spirit of someone who would bow down to him as soon as his body was shaken.
"With no actual interests and no deep friendship, who would risk his life easily for whom? Is it true that a peak martial saint and a strong man attached to the empire are just to protect the peace of the empire?"
"If it weren't for profit and power, it wouldn't be the same even if someone were to be the emperor. He could still recklessly hurt the family members of a powerful Martial Saint. Is it okay to offend such a peak powerhouse for nothing?"
Sikong Wu, who comes from the earth, has seen too many intrigues between people, and it is inevitable that he will have such thoughts.
This was not the first time that Kong Xing went to the border area to do business. He was quite familiar with this mountain road under Mang Mountain. Not long after passing the Rabbit Leaping Cliff, he quickly found a relatively gentle place with a wide river and a mountain col. They gathered the carriages loaded with goods together, untied the horses and waited for them to be tied up. They left the empty carriages outside and set up a few temporary tents around the goods, preparing to rest here for the night.
Except for the guards who were on guard, others made fires to cook, and went to the river to wash their bodies. There was no chaos at all.
Although Sikong Wu's carriage had prepared water and dry food, he still got off the carriage. Accompanied by Han Yun, he went to the river bank to wash his face. However, he found several figures in the dense forest on the other side of the river looking this way, feeling in his heart Slightly startled.
He didn¡¯t know if these people were bandits, so he went to the bald guard Wu Shanyang and told him about it.
Wu Shanyang also became vigilant. He called for a telescope and looked at it for a while, then said with a smile: "Brother Qin Wu has good eyesight. He can clearly see each other from such a distance. But don't worry, they are all fishermen from the neighborhood by their appearance." These people are different from the real savages in the mountains. There are not many martial artists, and they usually make a living by fishing. They wanted to see us camping, so they looked here."
He put down the telescope and continued: "Sometimes these fishermen will come over in boats and trade some salt utensils with us, etc. Brother Qin doesn't need to worry."
Wu Shanyang, an experienced guard captain, naturally had more knowledge about merchants than Sikong Wu. Therefore, Sikong Wu did not pay too much attention and refused Wu Shanyang's invitation. Instead of eating with everyone in the caravan, he ate some Beef and other energetic meats, I sat cross-legged on the carriage for a while and then rested on the side of the carriage.
Han Yun did not leave Sikong Wu far. He took a bamboo mat from the carriage and spread it next to the carriage. He placed the long knife beside him and slept in his clothes.
Wu Shanyang was secretly observing Sikong Wu and Han Yun. Although he didn't say anything, it was always right to be careful about strangers who joined the caravan halfway.
Seeing Han Yunbing sleeping with his clothes on, he couldn't help but nod secretly. From this, it can be seen that Han Yun is a veteran in the world.
Of course, Wu Shanyang would not doubt the identity of Sikong Wu and Han Yun because of this. People who have been walking outside all year round would not be alive today without this vigilance. Han Yun can take Sikong Wu through here alone, so he naturally has some tricks. and experience.
A day of non-stop driving has made everyone in the caravan very tired, especially those ordinary guys who could have gone back in a carriage. After riding a horse for a day, the inner thighs were rubbed red and painful. In addition, the guard warriors also had to get enough rest to ensure the next After two days of energy, except for the five or six guards responsible for keeping watch, everyone else had eaten and fell asleep quickly.
Suddenly, Sikong Wu's body trembled slightly, and he was startled. He reached out with his right hand and grasped the Star Cloud Splitting Gun placed beside the carriage!
Sure enough, a voice with panic shouted: "Enemy attack"
Before the words could even be heard, there was silence immediately, followed by the sounds of clashing weapons and noises.
Han Yun's deep voice came from outside the carriage: "Master, be careful, there are bandits coming!"
Sikong Wu hummed, indicating that he already knew. He opened the curtains and saw a dozen flying soul beast warriors in mid-air, throwing bone-spurred short spears towards the caravan.A dozen strong bandits wearing animal skin armor were fighting fiercely with the caravan guards. Several log boats were parked on the river bank, and a dozen bandits were coming from the river bank to kill them.
Sikong Wu was startled and thought strangely: "What's going on! According to what Zhou Taoyuan and the others said, the caravan carried only ordinary leather goods and herbs, and the total would not exceed a thousand taels of gold. How could it attract such a fierce bandit? . Just the dozen or so bandits with flying soul beasts show that the scale of these bandits is astonishing. Even in our Qintian City, there are only more than thirty flying soul beast warriors!"
Although Han Yun was only dressed as a coachman in burlap clothes, his figure of more than two meters tall, the seven-foot sword in his hand, and the looming soul power outside his body were enough to prove his extraordinary ability. The bandits had good eyesight, but no one took the initiative to attack Han Yun. .
Although Kong Xing, the owner of the caravan, held a pair of hammers and fought fiercely with the bandits, and five or six ordinary employees responsible for accounting transactions were killed by the bandits, Han Yun, in order to protect Sikong Wu's safety, He just stood aside with his sword in hand and did not intervene in the war.
Sikong Wulaka looked at the curtain of the carriage for a while and found that although the bandits were fierce and their overall strength was higher than that of Ma Tianfeng's bandits, they should not be as powerful as the Emperor Wu, so he was relieved.
"Just in time to see Ding Pengju, a taciturn young man, being forced back by two bandits, with two cracks left in his leather armor and blood seeping out, Sikong Wu said: "Han Yun, go rescue Ding Pengju."
Han Yun hesitated for a moment: "Master is in danger"
Sikong Wu smiled and said: "Don't worry, these bandits have no choice but to be our disciples. Even if we don't take action now, once the bandits kill the caravan guards, they will also come to us."
Han Yun knew Sikong Wu's strength better than anyone else, especially the mysterious turtle soul beast on Sikong Wu's body, which could actually subdue the golden dragon puppet with the demon saint cultivation level. Therefore, he nodded, closed his sword in front of him, and roared, The light of the sword rolled towards the two bandits who were chasing Ding Pengju like a sword!
Ding Peng cannot reach the third level of cultivation, so the bandits responsible for dealing with him will naturally not be that powerful.
Although Han Yun had deliberately concealed his cultivation as a seventh-grade martial artist, but with one slash, the sharp force of the sword was not something that two bandits with a third-grade warrior cultivation could resist. With just one strike, the two gangsters had already been cut in half by Han Yun. , blood spurted out and sprayed Ding Pengju's face!
As soon as Han Yun made a move, he immediately attracted the bandit's attention. A slender female bandit with white swan-like wings flapping in mid-air stretched out her finger, and a bolt of lightning shot out from between her fingers and turned into a streak in the air. The silver snake, which was a foot long, bit Han Yun fiercely.
Sikong Wu was shocked: "Soul technique!"
This is the first time he has seen someone using Taoism to attack the enemy!
The magic method of stealing the sky and changing the sun that the fox demon gave Sikong Wu was actually the so-called soul magic, Taoist magic, and sorcery, but it was done by the fox demon, not a human warrior. This was the first time that Sikong Wu saw the sharpness of soul magic. Although I feel that the female gangster who used the soul technique is only a fourth- and fifth-grade martial artist, the attack of this silver snake contains powerful soul power, and it is no less than a blow from an ordinary sixth-grade martial artist!
With such an attack method and the advantage of flying, once this female bandit grows up, she will definitely be extremely terrifying!
Han Yun's eyes lit up, and he knew that the other party was using soul magic. Unlike ordinary martial arts masters whose soul power is separated from the body, soul magic attacks have a much farther distance and are relatively powerful. The power will not be reduced due to the weakening of the soul power due to the distance.
Although Han Yun is a seventh-level Martial Emperor, the soul power sword energy he releases is difficult to attack the female bandit who is staying at an altitude of dozens of feet. However, a silver snake of the female bandit can easily attack Han Yun, and the power is not reduced at all. This is the biggest difference between soul skills and ordinary martial arts!
Of course, it doesn't mean that Han Yun really can't attack the opponent, take out the long knife, or throw rocks, etc. The distance of thirty feet is not very far, but it is much worse than the soul technique, and the soul technique It can also change direction and speed up under the control of the opponent, etc. It is much more difficult to deal with than ordinary throwing.
Ding Pengju saw the flashing silver snake swooping down with a heart-stopping momentum. A hint of fear suddenly flashed in his eyes, but then he bit his teeth and a look of perseverance appeared in his eyes, and all his soul power was concentrated there. He put the inferior long knife on top and was about to slash towards Yin.
At this moment, Han Yunchen shouted, and with a swivel of his sword, a blade of light burst out, and it struck the Silver Snake's ferocious head fiercely!
