Chapter 100 99 Dark Clouds
night.

After the conflict between the Inner City and the Ming Cult became public, Pingqiu Mountain, the base of the Chai Gang, was raided many times by Xie Donglai.

Now that the power of the Ming Cult has all dispersed into the countryside, this place has become a quiet place.

In a secret stronghold in the mountains, the escorts helped each other take off their armor and applied ointment on the hideous wounds.

Li Cunxiao looked at the pale Ge Yingyang and tied the last bit of white cloth in his hand around the other's arm.

"Fortunately, Captain Li was prepared. Otherwise, I don't know how many of our brothers would not have survived tonight."

Ge Yingyang's voice was a little hoarse, but there was a lot more respect in his eyes.

Not only him, but the fourteen bodyguards around him, although all of them were injured, looked at the burly young man with a mixture of gratitude and awe.

"Everyone is injured. Go to bed early. I will keep watch tonight."

"Tomorrow morning, we will return to the escort agency immediately."

After saying this, Li Cunxiao walked to the entrance of the cave alone and moved the huge rock used for covering it, leaving only a small gap.

Everyone could only see his broad back, and had no idea what expression the brave and invincible Li Biaotou had on his face at that moment.

Li Cunxiao felt very sad.

He had brought seventeen people with him. With the siege today, it was impossible to take care of everyone.

Swords and knives have no mercy. Two people died on that occasion, and another was seriously injured and died on their way back after a forced march.

All Li Cunxiao could do was collect the bodies of several people.

The reason why we didn't enter the city at night was because the city guards enforced a curfew at night.

If they went there rashly, and if Xie Donglai had murderous intentions, they would be killed at the city gate without even seeing Zhang Lishi.

On the contrary, it is safer during the day.

Just like Han Yu and Shen He, they wore masks to pretend to be bandits, simply because they didn't want to start a war right away. Li Cunxiao wanted to seize this mentality.
Moreover, the escorts fought a bloody battle in broad daylight and were not only injured but also exhausted.

If they don't get enough rest, I'm afraid those who were not seriously injured will also die.

Even with his back to the crowd, Li Cunxiao could still see the situation of every escort clearly with his golden compound eyes.

Ge Yingyang was at the third level of cultivation, and was the most seriously injured when he faced Shen Que, who had reached the second level of cultivation, in broad daylight. He then forced himself to mount his horse to support, and his vitality was severely damaged.

He didn't have mercury blood and silver marrow, so although he luckily survived, he would need at least one or two months to recuperate before he could fully recover after returning.

Gao Hu was blind in one eye and Qian Yu had two fingers broken, but they were both veterans of battle and did not look worried at all. Instead, they were comforting the other young escorts.

Qin Yu
He was shot in the left arm and right shoulder. He cried out in pain while being treated, but now he had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

Li Cunxiao looked at the familiar faces, the scabbed blood clots and wounds on their bodies, and the three people who had turned into cold corpses forever. The murderous intent and anger in his heart boiled over.

Hot breath came out from between his teeth, and his ferocious expression took a while to calm down.

"I'll go back to the city tomorrow, and I might run into some unexpected things."

"The demon we got today cannot be kept. We must immediately turn it into strength!"

In the mind, the vajra hangs high, suppressing five demons of various shapes and sizes.

A emerald green mantis, a butterfly of strange colors, a brass-colored piglet, a scarlet tiger, and a gray crane with white eyebrows.

"Shen family's Mantis Sword, Han family's Butterfly Palm, Murong family's Red Marrow Kung Fu's branch Golden Bell Cover, Tiger Demon Fist"

"There's also the White-browed Crane Fist. That man is probably the Murong family's tribute, Wen Hao."

Li Cunxiao knew that there would be disputes between the Escort Agency and the Inner City, and he knew all the martial artists in each family’s muscle and internal organ realms well.

Recalling what happened during the day, he immediately understood that this was a token of allegiance from the Han and Shen families, and Murong Bai sent a priest to express his concern.

If he had not mastered four martial arts and had not had the support of four demons, and if he had not mastered one martial art to the point of being able to defeat the master of three martial arts to the point of perfection, he might have been completely wiped out today.

Now that the crisis has not passed, Li Cunxiao can no longer copy martial arts books as he did before and can only read through them hastily.

The Golden Bell Cover is a martial art derived from the Murong family's Red Marrow True Art. Although it is remarkable, it has several weaknesses in order to control the practitioner.
The Han family's Butterfly Palm and the Shen family's Mantis Sword are considered incomplete mid-grade martial arts with limited potential, so the strength of the four family heads is far inferior to the top three;

Wen Hao's White Eyebrow Crane Fist was remarkable in the Muscle Realm, but it had not yet reached the Visceral Realm.

As for the Tiger Demon Fist, there is no need to say much, it is his fundamental martial art.

"It's okay. There are still many masters from the seven families in the inner city. We can kill the enemies and seize their martial arts later."

With a thought, the five demon heads were refined in an instant, and the vajra was suddenly filled with light, and the charging was completed.

break!
In a flash, the cool air came like a tide, but this time it did not go straight into the bone marrow, but seeped into the fascia and flesh all over the body.

For a moment, it was as if a dam had opened deep in the bone marrow, and a surge of energy and blood flowed out, flooding and soaking every part of his limbs.

The fascia becomes tougher, stretches and swells under the scorching heat, tightly wrapped around the muscles, and is as smooth as jade.

The latter is also like a rough piece on an anvil, which is forged again and again, and a ray of golden light blooms in the gray and black.

The muscles are perfect and the tendons are as strong as gold and jade!
"Wen Hao and the others have been gone for a whole day. Calculating the time, they should have returned a long time ago."

Xie Donglai leaned his hands on the city wall and looked towards the east, only to see dark clouds in the sky.

Under the pretext of guarding against the evil bandits of the Ming Cult, the county government's defenses have become increasingly tight during this period, and the city guards have also been gradually expanding.

I am afraid that within two months, the number will reach a thousand.

To support so many full-time soldiers, it is natural to take control of the supplies in Chuqiu City.

In addition to the fertile fields outside the city, various industries within the city were also quietly annexed and divided up by the seven families under various pretexts. This was also the Murong family's reward to its allies.

Without common interests, how can there be a common alliance?
Food, cloth, ironware, and medicinal materials. These vital supplies are being gradually eroded by the seven families.

Only a few businesses under the Feihu Escort Agency could offer some decent resistance.

If other chambers of commerce and small families do not join the seven families, their fate is self-evident.

This time, Li Cunxiao's escort mission is the last struggle of a small family.

It’s a pity that not everyone can unite in the face of danger, but there are more traitors.

After obtaining the leaked information, Murong Bai directly sent Wen Hao to lead the team to intimidate the buyers first.

Then he would wait for the opportunity and get rid of Li Cunxiao and cut off Zhang Lishi's arm.

There are five muscle realms, and one of them has perfected the third one.

It's easy to deal with Li Cunxiao and Ge Yingyang.

Xie Donglai originally wanted to kill his enemy, but Murong Bo couldn't leave him.

Moreover, many people were watching his whereabouts. Once he left the city, he would be easily exposed, which would likely provoke a counterattack from Zhang Lishi.

The madness of a Half-Step Huang Ting before death will bring many unnecessary losses.

Especially since Murong Bo had already regarded Chuqiu City as his own private property, he certainly didn't want to take action at home.

He had already chosen a burial site for the tiger's execution.

"It's already the end of the hour and no one has arrived yet. Something is wrong."

The sun gradually climbed to the zenith, and the dead silent outer city regained some life, but Xie Donglai still did not wait for the person he wanted to see.

He called the guards around him and was about to report to Murong Bo, but at this moment, a few small black dots suddenly appeared on the official road in the distance. Xie Donglai was relieved at first, but soon realized that something was wrong.

Why are there only a dozen people?
Could it be that Li Cunxiao and Ge Yingyang's counterattack was so fierce that they killed all the private soldiers of the two families and only a small half were left?

The team did not raise the flag, and the martial arts that Xie Donglai practiced were not the sharpshooter Eagle Eye.

It was not until the enemy approached within a hundred meters that he was shocked when he saw the clothes and armor that were very different from those of his own team, as well as the precious horse shining red in the sun.

Li Cunxiao?
The people from the escort agency are not dead? !
How can it be!

After a brief shock, murderous intent surged in his heart. Xie Donglai snatched the bow and arrow from the archer beside him, squinted his eyes, and aimed at the burly young man on the tall horse.

Whoosh!
The arrow made a sharp explosion, and even during flight, the tip of the arrow turned red and hot due to high-speed friction.

But the young man in the distance was not too panicked. He took out an iron shield as if he had expected it.

Boom! ! !
The dull thud was like a battering ram hitting a city gate. The sound was so loud that even the guards on the city wall could faintly hear it.

After missing the target, the escort team just stopped and never moved forward again.

Xie Donglai's face turned grim, knowing that he had lost a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy army with a rain of arrows due to his momentary anger.

He could only suppress his unpleasant expression, and his voice was like a bell, spreading a hundred meters away:

"I am the county lieutenant of Chuqiu. Who are you?"

"Raise the flags, lay down your armor and abandon your soldiers! Otherwise, you will be regarded as a demon or bandit and killed on the spot!"

Xie Donglai, the donkey, is playing tricks on me, right?

Feeling the numbness in his palm, Li Cunxiao's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but after taking a look at the injured bodyguards behind him, he quickly calmed down.

Now is not the time to act on impulse. The most important thing is to let Zhang Lishi know that they are back.

Otherwise, if Xie Donglai was determined and insisted that he couldn't see clearly because they were too far away, and killed them as monsters and bandits, then even if he could escape, his brothers would definitely not be able to escape.

"If you won't let me into the city, then let's have some fun!"

Li Cunxiao carried the iron shield and drove the red horse, and in a moment they rushed to about 30 meters below the city wall.

When Xie Donglai saw the other party coming alone, he didn't hesitate at all, and stretched the muscles in his arms like a giant python.

Li Cunxiao took the heavy arrow, which was as thick as two fingers, from his personal guard and strung it. Before it was shot, Li Cunxiao's hair stood on end.

In a flash, all the demons in the body appeared to bless him, and surging blood and energy poured into his arms.

After developing the golden muscles and jade meridians, the changes in the body during the explosive state were not as drastic as before, but it was like a concentrated essence.

The fascia muscles, like some kind of flexible iron stone, are coiled and twisted, and under the push of the mercury-like viscous blood, they burst out with powerful force.

clang! ! ! !

The heavy arrow exploded and hit the iron shield. Under the violent power of the internal organs, the fine iron shield suddenly cracked, and Chili let out a scream.

Both the man and his horse were pushed back three feet!

But, it was still blocked!
"The Ming Cult demons are attacking the city!"

"The rebels are only ten miles away!"

Li Cunxiao's loud shout was like thunder, and everyone on and off the Chuqiu city wall, including the defending soldiers and the nearby civilians, heard it.

"You scoundrel! You're spreading lies and misleading people! You deserve to be killed!"

Xie Donglai was shocked and immediately realized that the other party was passing a message to Zhang Lishi.

His murderous intent grew stronger, and the bow and arrows in his hand shot out like strings of pearls. The sound of the arrows tearing through the air sounded like firecrackers exploding.

However, after Li Cunxiao was hit by that arrow, he refused to block it again.

Chili runs like the wind. He has the dynamic vision and all-round vision of a dragonfly, and his body movements are even more impressive.

For a moment, he was like a juggler, performing various movements on the galloping horse.

The arrows seemed sharp, but they only passed by an inch each time.

In the blink of an eye, all the arrows were shot, and Li Cunxiao was unharmed, his voice still as loud as a bell:
".County Lieutenant Xie Donglai colluded with the demon. Once the deed is accomplished, the Ming Cult will entrust Chuqiu City to you!"

Asshole!!!!
Xie Donglai felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood, but at the same time he was angry, he was also filled with fear and confusion.

Even though he has not specialized in archery, the strength of his internal organs cannot be stopped by muscles.

Li Cunxiao has only been practicing martial arts for half a year, yet he is able to shoot with ease.
"Could it be that Wen Hao and the others are already dead?!"

A terrifying guess emerged in his mind, and Xie Donglai almost immediately rejected this possibility.

"No! Li Cunxiao was able to do this only because of the help of Tianma."

Until this moment, he didn't think that Li Cunxiao and others could kill the five muscular warriors and escape.

But the other party was closely related to the death of his nephew, and happened to be alone at the time.

Even though he knew that the people from the escort agency would arrive soon, killing someone at this time would inevitably trigger conflicts in the city.

But his enemy was jumping right in front of him, and he really couldn't bear it!

"die!"

Xie Donglai's blood and energy burst out, like a smoke screen rising three feet high.

He reached out and grabbed a spear, raised his right arm high, his muscles like the twisted muscles of a dragon or python, and his body seemed like a big bow, stretching out to the full moon.

In a blink of an eye, the tip of the gun, flashing with cold light, was aimed at Li Cunxiao in the distance.

The spear flew out of his hand, and the air in front of him even took on a distorted cone shape. A sharp whistle rang out—

"Xie Donglai, you are tired of living!"

Faster than the deep voice came a three-foot-long green wind blade.

From Li Cunxiao's perspective, the two-meter-long spear had only flown ten feet out of the city wall when it was shattered into pieces by the green wind blade from behind. Even the fine steel spear head was shattered and hit the city wall like a shotgun.

Zhang Lishi had red hair and a green face, like a yaksha with flames on his head, and was almost lifted up by the green whirlwind and shot onto the city wall.

Looking at Xie Donglai, whose face was filled with shock and anger, he looked cold and slashed with his sword. The red-gold dragon-sparrow sword ring made a fierce cry.

boom! ! !
A crescent-shaped blade flashed, earth and rocks shattered, and smoke and dust rose into the sky.

When Li Cunxiao saw the scene clearly, he was horrified.

There was a terrifying knife mark on the city wall that was two meters long and one foot wide!
"Leave people under the knife!"

Xie Donglai jumped off the city wall in a panic. Murong Bai stood in front of his subordinates before Zhang Lishi could continue to attack.

Looking back, his left arm was bleeding profusely, with only a layer of flesh and broken bones remaining connecting the shoulder and arm.

If it cannot be reconnected in time within a quarter of an hour and the secret medicine cannot be applied, even if Xie Donglai is at the internal organs level, he will not be able to reconnect it.

"Zhang Lishi, you attacked an official of the imperial court, are you planning a rebellion?"

Seeing Murong Bo's gloomy face, Zhang Lishi just sneered.

"Murong Bo, I'm your mother!"
