Volume 2, Chapter 429 Goodbye, Old Friend...
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
A few days later, between the two mountains, about twenty or thirty people proceeded hastily while escorting a large cart.
They were dressed in purple robes.
One ordinary black-faced youth was among the team, walking briskly and following the cart.
The horses that pulled the carts were of a rare breed, capable of moving at an exceptional speed.
Except for a few riders, the people around the guards mostly walked on foot, but the black-faced youth appeared full of energy.
"Lu Er, it's been a long time since we last met. I see you've made a lot of progress. After walking for almost a day, you don't seem to be tired," the tall thin man next to the black-faced youth said breathlessly.
"Hehe… I guess I'm just in good spirits after my breathing exercises in the morning," the black-faced youth said as he smiled a little.
The tall thin man did not care and continued to rush to the road.
This black-faced youth was no other than Shi Mu! He had previously learned the Disguising Technique from Hou Sai Lei. A few days ago, he found a chance to sneak into the convoy that was transporting the spirit stones.
The cart had already departed Xixia Country and was en route to the Lu Shan Kingdom.
"Hey!" Shi Mu suddenly looked up and looked ahead.
His keen senses perceived that they were approaching a cliff.
"In the land of the Lu Shan Kingdom, someone would dare to rob the Transcending Heaven Immortal Cult?!" Shi Mu was a little surprised as he asked himself. His powers of perception had spread out, instantly covering a few dozen miles.
His eyebrows arched as something extremely unexpected had happened. There was a hint of joy painted all over his face.
The team arrived at the foot of the mountain. The young man who had been leading suddenly stopped. He wore a sword on the side of his purple robe. He looked everywhere, seemingly wanting to say something important.
Hey!
A blazingly fast beam of red light flew out from the side of the mountain. It pulled out a residual image, hitting into the young man's direction.
The young man's face changed greatly as the lightning zapped into his body like lightning. He immediately fell to the ground, trying to avoid the red light.
Cha!
As soon as the red light flashed on the black horse's body, it was slashed into two pieces. The horses screamed as their blood and organs splashed out.
The red light paused a little before it continued flying toward the young man.
At that moment, it became apparent that the light was a flying red sword.
The young man fell to the ground as the red sword moved in his direction. His hands were extremely sensitive. His arm moved and a purple sword appeared on his hand, which turned into a purple phantom.
Keng!
The purple sword's energy flashed out as it met with the red sword.
The young man shook violently as he tried to take a few steps back but the red sword was now out of sight.
"It's the enemy!" The members of the Transcending Heaven Immortal Cult who had passed by the cart were in a panic.
"Don't panic! Prepare for battle!"
The young man screamed. Before he could finish his sentence, a black figure had already flown down from the cliff. There were about fifty or sixty of them standing guard and all of them were in black robes.
Judging by the figure of the first black-robed man, he was not weak.
The young man's heart sank as he reached into his arms trying to take something out.
Just then, a black silhouette descended from the sky.
Looking at the figure, it was a woman with a rich body. Although her face was covered with a black veil, her bright eyes betrayed her femininity.
The woman in black flew at the young man. A black whip shot out of her hand and like a snake, creating a dazzling afterimage and a crisp explosive sound.
The young man's expression changed as he rolled and dodged the attacks.
Before he could even let out a sigh of relief, the woman's waist twisted and the long whip in her hand changed once again like a viper. At the same time, the red sword flew from the other side.
The sigh was visible in the young man's eyes as he screamed with anger. The sword in his hand turned into a knife and a shadow to protect his whole body.
The woman in black snorted. As her arms moved, a black ray appeared on the whip. The whip's afterimage doubled up in an instant, transforming into a ring of whip shadows that shrouded the young man.
Loud screams erupted from the crowd as the fight went on.
The robbers had obviously spent a lot of time planning this. Their strength was far beyond the escort team, and the sudden sneak attack had the advantage of surprise.
After a short period of time, the escort team was slaughtered. Only the young man and the woman in black were still battling it out. However, the young man was now covered bruises.
"Who are you? How dare you assassinate the people of the Transcending Heaven Immortal Cult? Have you not considered the consequences?" The purple knives in the young man's hands became larger, slashing the black whip off its grip.
The woman sneered and did not answer.
It was unknown when but the flying red sword appeared behind the young man, almost stabbing him.
He quickly turned his body to avoid further damage. The purple knives shined brightly as it blocked the top of the red flying sword from piercing into him.
The woman muttered a spell and a beam of black light flew out of her hand.
The flying red sword slightly jerked.
The next moment, another red sword appeared above the young man. It was much lighter than the flying sword but it was still cold and shimmering at the young man's head.
The young man did not anticipate such an attack. He was slashed by the sword so quickly that he didn't even have time to shout. His body was cleaved in two as the blood splashed everywhere.
The woman's face turned faintly pale. She exhausted a lot of her strength and stamina in this battle.
She waved back the flying red sword and took out a white porcelain bottle and poured out some medicine.
The fifty or sixty people who came along were standing behind them, hand-in-hand, as if waiting for an order from the woman.
"Quickly, sweep here! Don't leave any traces! Take all the spirit stones from the cart," the woman in black robe commanded.
"Yes!" a man in a black robe standing beside her obeyed.
"Hehe… There are rules for how to split the booty. I've had my eyes on this cart for a time now. If you have a hand in this assassination, you have to take it all. Is it something that can't be said?" Just then, a flash appeared next to the cart, and within it was a man clad in green.
The man wore a cloak and covered most of his face.
"Who dares?!" the tall thin man in black next to the big cart shouted. With a black long knife in hand, he slammed into the green-robed man.
The man did not even look. With a point of his finger, a red light flashed away.
"Doom!" A loud noise could be heard.
None saw how it happened but the tall thin man in black flew off the ground, blood splashing out of his body.
Everyone present was shocked, including the woman in black. With a wave, the flying sword emerged and hovered over her head.
"Who are you to be playing tricks on me?" the woman in black was on high alert as she looked at the man in green up and doubt with little doubt in her eyes.
His voice somehow sounded familiar, as was his figure.
The man in green looked up and his eyes fell on the face of the woman in black. He suddenly raised his hand. A large wave of red light gathered and grabbed hold of the woman.
Before the big hand arrived, a gust of wind roared and the woman was blown out, along with the others.
She changed her mind as the flying sword above her head began to shine brightly, condensing into a giant red sword of two or three feet.
At the same time, her hand flashed with black light as she unleashed her long whip. Black light began to blind everyone, almost like a black spike piercing into the big red hand of the flying sword.
The man in green laughed mockingly as the giant hand was pressed down and hit the red giant sword.
Zoom!
The large red sword immediately collapsed and turned on the flying sword, which dripped and flew back.
The big red hand was followed by a wave that hit the black light on the whip, smashing its light aside.
To call it fast would be an understatement. By the time the woman reacted, the red hand had already appeared at her head once again. From here, the woman could be squashed like a bug with just a small grip
The woman looked pale and her eyes were desperate as if she was ready to die.
However, after a while, she did not feel the grip on her. She could not help but open her eyes once again.
The black veil that had been covering her face had been pulled down, revealing her enchanting face.
"Oh, I haven't seen you for many years. You're as beautiful as always, Lady Jin!" the man in green said. The hand had disappeared, leaving only the black veil.
"You..." the woman was stunned. She was not other than Jin Xiao Chai.
"We haven't seen each other for many years, but how could you forget about me?" the man in green said as he unveiled the hood that had been covering him.
"It's you!" Jin Xiao Chai's face changed. She seemed like she almost wanted to scream but had to close her mouth to stop herself from doing so.
"Take the cart down to the mountain and wait for me there," Jin Xiao Chai took a deep breath and calmed her mind before commanding the black-robed men around her
"But..." One of the men hesitated.
"It's no problem. Go first, I'll follow behind. Do you need me to say it one more time?!" Jin Xiao Chai frowned as her voice turned cold.
The men agreed and quickly cleaned the site, burned the bodies, took the carriage and disappeared into the mountain.
"Sister Jin, I haven't seen you for a long time!" When everyone left, the man in green took off his hood and revealed himself. It was not other than Shi Mu.
He did not know when he had changed his clothing but he had been restored to his original appearance.
