C9 Block the Road(2)

The convoy continued on their journey peacefully. Lin Fann, on the other hand, felt something strange. He turned around and looked behind him. There was nothing at the end of the road. He looked around and found nothing wrong. Just when Lin Fann thought he had sensed something wrong, Lin Bufei said with a solemn expression.

"Don't you think it's strange?"

"What?"

Xinzhen asked curiously. Although he was different from Lin Fann and had several experiences as a guard, his experience was still not as good as Lin Bufei's. When he saw Lin Bufei's serious face, he could not help but feel terrified.

Hearing Lin Bufei's words, Lin Fann immediately looked at him. It turned out that his senses were not wrong. Even Lin Bufei felt that something was wrong, but he still did not say anything and just listened quietly.

"It's a little too quiet."

Lin Fann's facial expression changed. Only now did he realize that it was indeed too quiet. At this time, the convoy was travelling in the wilderness, even though there was no sound. There were always birds and beasts, but the surroundings were completely silent. There was no sound at all. There was no living thing at all.

It was obvious that there were no living creatures around. It was just that someone had driven it away. The migratory birds on the branches had flown away because they were afraid of humans. The beasts in the forest also changed places because of the humans' arrival.

At this moment, the silence seemed to be a bit abnormal.

Following a berating voice, the convoy stopped. It was clear that the leader, Mu Shaohua, also discovered the abnormality.

"It seems like there really are people blocking the way. I reckon there will be a fight to be fought. Hey, little brother. "

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Have you killed anyone before? Are you afraid?"

Lin Bufei stared at his surroundings and said softly. Compared to Xinzhen, Lin Fann was just a young and inexperienced kid. That was why Lin Bufei spoke, wanting Lin Fann to be more mentally prepared.

"Wait a moment. Remember not to show mercy when you attack. Don't show mercy just because your opponent is in a miserable state. If you do that, you will most likely die. I have a brother who sympathizes with him. In the end, you backhanded stabbed him to death. You are so young. You still have a lot of good days ahead of you. Don't die."

"Got it."

Lin Fann nodded. He had a much better impression of Lin Bufei in his heart. In comparison, although Xinzhen was quiet, he rode his horse. He walked to the other side of Lin Fann and followed Lin Bufei. He sandwiched Lin Fann in the middle. This way, he could ensure that when something happened... Both of them had the time to lend Lin Fann a helping hand.

"Thank you, seniors."

"There's no need to thank me. In this line of work, everyone has to live with their heads to their waist. We are not like you. I don't think there will be any good life for us in this lifetime. It doesn't matter even if we die, but you are different."

Lin Bufei laughed and pulled out the thick saber at his waist. Xinzhen's weapon was two short swords. At this time, he also held the two swords in his hands. He was alert of his surroundings and was ready to attack at any time.

"Hey, where is your weapon?" ___ asked.

Lin Fann was stunned. Only then did he realize that he had not used any weapons since three years ago. He had played with swords when he was young, but now in this situation, he did not have any swords. After hesitating for a while, Lin Fann said.

"I don't like to use weapons. It's better to use both hands."

“ Oh? It's easy to be at a disadvantage if you're bare-handed."

Lin Bufei frowned and said.

"Take it."

Xinzhen threw a short sword to Lin Fann.

"Brother Xin, won't this affect you?"

"It's alright. I have practiced with a single sword."

Xinzhen said with an expressionless face. Although that was the case, there was a huge difference between a single sword and a double sword.

"Actually, I'm fine."

Lin Fann still wanted to say something, but when he saw Xinzhen's firm gaze, he withdrew it.

"Thank you, Big Brother Xin."

Finally, along with the convoy's vigilance, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from the front and back of the road. From the mountain ridges on both sides of the road, a large group of people ran out. There were hundreds of robbers in total, blocking the entire convoy.

Lin Fann, who saw this scene for the first time, was somewhat shocked. Lin Bufei frowned even more deeply. The three of them spurred their horses and turned around to protect the rear of the convoy. They were facing seventy to eighty robbers who were dressed in different clothes and had strong auras.

When they saw the robbers, the chaos in the convoy only lasted for a short while before it subsided. Lin Fann and the other two heard the leader of the group, Mu Shaohua, speak in a clear voice.

"Who are all of you? Why have you come here? Can you tell me a thing or two? Perhaps there is some misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? That's good too. As long as you hand over the Sea of Jade Blood Lingzhi, today's matter will be considered a misunderstanding."

One of the bandits, who clearly looked like the leader, sneered and said.

"You must be joking, sir. There has never been a Sea of Jade Blood Lingzhi in the merchant group"

Mu Shaohua's pupils shrank, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Haha, call your old man out. You are not qualified to speak to me."

Mu Shaohua wanted to say more, but the curtain of the carriage in the middle was lifted. The patriarch of the Mu family, Mu Rongyu, walked out, followed by Mu Waner.

"It really is you, old fool."

Mu Rongyu said expressionlessly. Mu Waner stretched out her hand and nervously held her father's arm. Her beautiful eyes stared straight at the big man.

"Since we're old acquaintances, I don't really want to say anything. Hand over the things, I'll let you guys go"

"What if I say no?"

...... "Boys, leave the women and men, not a single one is left!"

The big man sneered coldly. When the hundreds of robbers heard this, like a wild horse that had lost its reins, they rushed towards the motorcade. When Mu Shaohua saw this, he immediately organized people to defend. Luckily, they were following the motorcade. Most of them had experienced it, so they wouldn't panic too much. All of a sudden... The front of the motorcade and the two sides of the motorcade were blocked. Although the motorcade only had about a hundred people in total, in terms of quality, it was much better than a mob of robbers.

The only thing that was stressing was the rear of the motorcade. There were more than twenty servants following the three of them. Their cultivation levels varied greatly. The lower ranked ones were only at the first layer of martial arts, while the higher ranked ones were at the fourth or fifth layer. Although almost half of the robbers were ordinary people and did not have any cultivation levels, even so, they had to withstand nearly a hundred robbers. The difficulty wasn't small either.

This kind of situation. The scale of the battle was not like the usual fights between children. It was a battle of momentum. When there were more people, the imposing manner would come out. If there were fewer people, the imposing manner would be weaker. If the imposing manner was one head weaker, then the strength that could be displayed would be lesser. The convoy, which was already at a disadvantage, was being attacked by the bandits with a menacing aura. They simply couldn't gain much of an advantage.

Although the robbers were generally weak, it didn't mean that there were no experts among them. For example, the two people Lin Bufei had found were at the seventh level of the Martial Arts Practice Stage. One was at the eighth level of the Martial Arts Realm. If he was not at the half-step Essence Opening Stage... It would be difficult to suppress the two of them.

Lin Bufei's situation was still fine, but Xinzhen's side was struggling. He was good at using the two swords, so he gave the sword to Lin Fann, which reduced his own level. Not to mention, both of them were at the sixth level of the Martial Force. Between the three of them, Xinzhen was obviously struggling.

One man and one sword, he blocked the two of them alone. Those two could be considered cunning, their sword moves were extremely insidious. They would use whatever poison they wanted. Xinzhen's sword force... It was obvious that it was not enough to deal with these two men's attacks. Plus, he only used one sword attack. The disadvantage was getting more and more obvious.
