Gou Zai Xianwu Chaos World, Physical Sainthood

"Oh no! Robbers!"

"Help! Help!"

"Don't panic, form a car formation! Don't panic!"

……

The moment the screams rang out, the convoy erupted into chaos.

Only the officials and guards remained calm.

He barely managed to direct the carriage beside him to change direction, connect the two ends, set up the carriage platform, and arrange the defensive formation.

But the carriage was turning, and the arrows were moving too fast.

In the chaos, more than a dozen arrows were fired into the convoy, accompanied by several screams.

Lu Cheng sat astride his horse and casually swung his halberd, cutting the incoming arrow in two.

Feeling the force of the arrow, I felt a slight sense of relief.

He spurred his horse forward a few steps, blocking the carriage frame beside him, giving the driver time to turn the horse around and set up the carriage platform.

Not far away in the woods, stood several men with fierce auras.

One of them, a man in his thirties, looked at the Cold Star Halberd in Lu Cheng's hand with surprise and said greedily:

"Brothers, that man's weapon is truly excellent. I don't want anything else, just that halberd, how about that?"

"Hahaha, you certainly know how to pick." The man in the middle laughed arrogantly. "Alright, since you spoke first, it's yours."

Then, turning to a man beside him with arms as strong as pillars, a broad back, and a slender waist, he said:

"Second brother, it's up to you now."

The man called "Second Brother" nodded and pulled out a dark-looking iron bow from behind him.

This bow is ridiculously large; the bow arm is as thick as a wrist, and the bowstring is as thick as a little finger.

It's obviously an extremely powerful weapon.

Without saying a word, the man nocked an arrow and drew his bow.

With a "hey," the man's arm muscles bulged, and his veins and tendons became prominent and knotted.

With a creaking sound, the bowstring was pulled to its full length.

The man aimed at Lu Chenghou's heart, and waited for the right moment to release the string.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow, like a bolt of lightning, whistled as it tore through the air.

Lu Cheng felt a chill run down his spine and his heart clench. A sudden sense of alarm rose within him, and the hairs on his body stood on end. Without thinking, he twisted his waist and crouched to the side.

Even so, he was still unable to dodge and was struck diagonally by an arrow.

With a "clang," the back armor instantly deformed and shattered.

Fortunately, the armor provided a momentary shield, allowing Lu Cheng to concentrate all his strength into his back.

That's how the arrow didn't pierce through his body; the arrowhead just barely sank into his flesh.

However, the immense force caused Lu Cheng to lose control of the horse, and he tumbled off.

From the distant mountains and forests, the man who had "designated" Lu Cheng's halberd let out a strange cry and excitedly charged out, brandishing his broadsword.

At this moment, the convoy had already engaged the attacking robbers.

More than twenty men wielding knives and sticks rushed out from all sides and surrounded the convoy.

Among these robbers were many skilled fighters at the Refining Strength Realm.

Upon contact, several of the convoy's guards were killed.

The remaining forces relied on the still-forming chariot formation to put up a difficult resistance.

The man rushed out of the woods and charged at Lu Cheng, who was lying face down on the ground, without saying a word.

Upon seeing the Cold Star Halberd, the greed in his eyes could no longer be contained.

He laughed three times and was about to bend down to grab the halberd.

Before he could get close, Lu Cheng seized the opportunity to exert all his strength and leaped into the air.

Taking advantage of the momentum, he swung his halberd, unleashing a sweeping attack that struck the man.

The man was surprised that Lu Cheng was faking his death and hurriedly drew his knife to parry.

But Lu Cheng was charging up his spear with full force; how could a man withstand that?

He was instantly cleaved in two, his tiger's mouth split open, and he staggered backward.

Despite his back pain, Lu Cheng, still emboldened by his advantage, rushed forward.

With a clang, the man's long sword was disarmed by the halberd technique.

With another swing of his halberd, he pierced the man's chest.

The gleaming silver spearhead pierced through the body.

The man's eyes widened, and he died instantly.

"Sixth Brother!"

A roar came from the dense forest not far behind the man.

Following the roar was an arrow.

But by this time, Lu Cheng had already slipped into the chariot formation. The arrow missed its mark, embedding itself halfway into the ground, its tip still trembling.

Lu Cheng leaned against the carriage wall and turned to look at his back.

I just used all my strength in three moves, which aggravated my arrow wound considerably.

But Lu Cheng also knew that he couldn't just drag this out.

He gripped the arrow shaft tightly with his backhand, gritted his teeth, and with a "plop," pulled out a piece of flesh along with it.

The excruciating pain caused Lu Cheng to break out in a cold sweat, and it took him a long time to recover.

Looking at the arrow shaft, as thick as a finger in his hand, Lu Cheng felt a lingering fear.

"Damn, what amazing archery skills!"

"If it weren't for refining ten sets of Jade Skin Cream a few days ago, the Silver Scale Armor alone wouldn't have been able to stop this arrow at all."

He threw away the arrow and popped two small pills into his mouth.

Lu Cheng looked out through the car door.

From the direction the man had come from, five fierce-looking figures, like tigers and wolves, pounced.

The leader, with a leopard-like head and bulging eyes, held an exaggeratedly large mountain-splitting blade, shouting "Brothers!" and his eyes were bloodshot.

The four behind him each held a different weapon.

But none of them were carrying a bow.

Lu Cheng looked behind them, but all he saw was a lush green field.

"Boy, prepare to die!"

The man with the mountain-splitting blade ran the fastest.

In just a dozen steps, he covered dozens of meters, flashed to the side of the convoy, and shouted angrily in the direction of Lu Cheng.

With a single swipe of his sword, he severed the horse's head from its body.

Then, with another kick, he actually sent the horse carcass flying towards Lu Cheng's location.

Following closely behind the horse carcass was the man's broadsword.

Lu Cheng sidestepped the horse carcass and raised his halberd to parry his sword.

With a "clang," sparks flew everywhere.

Lu Cheng felt an irresistible force coming from him.

He stumbled back three or four steps, dragging his halberd.

The Body Refinement Realm not only hones physical strength.

At the same time, strength will increase greatly.

The force emanating from the Hanzi Blade was at least at the level of someone who had been in the early stages of body refinement for many years.

Although the man did not retreat, he cursed angrily, drew his sword, and looked at his weapon with heartache.

A small notch, the size of a soybean, appeared on the snowflake-patterned blade.

However, Lu Cheng's halberd blade remained as sharp as ever.

"You little brat, today I'll take your head and your weapon to appease my sixth brother!"

"Look at the knife!"

The two clashed again.

Lu Cheng was injured on his back, and his progress in body refinement was also somewhat behind that of the men. He could only rely on the River-Blocking Halberd Technique to keep maneuvering.

Meanwhile, the other four men rushed into the convoy and engaged the remaining guards in combat.

Those guards in the convoy who have managed to hold out until now and still maintain their fighting ability are all quite capable.

Gradually, they stabilized their position and fought back and forth using their chariot formation.

Casualties also began to occur among the robbers.

But the later robbers were no ordinary fighters.

With their arrival, the balance was immediately broken.

The screams and injuries mostly occurred on the convoy side.

During the breaks in the exchange, Lu Cheng frequently looked back.

However, there was still no movement from the direction the convoy had come from.

The guards began to fall one after another, and arrows were constantly being shot out from the dense forest.

Even the guards who could hold their own against four men could not withstand such a powerful sneak attack from the bow and arrow.

Seven arrows were fired from the dense forest, felling seven people.

The rest were powerless to fight the robbers.

Gradually, only Lu Cheng's group remained in the fight.

Now that things have come to this, even the most foolish bandits know that Lu Cheng is a Body Refinement Realm martial artist.

The bandits' henchmen pulled and dragged the spoils into the dense forest.

The four men who rushed down with the gang leader stood guard on the sidelines, ready to step forward and provide support at any time.

Lu Cheng cursed inwardly. He was fighting a body-refining martial artist, and there was also an archery expert in the shadows. If he didn't unleash his Blood Burning Secret Technique, it would be difficult for him to escape.

The "Burning Blood" secret technique is divided into ten levels.

Each level of mastery grants double the power.

Theoretically, once one reaches the tenth level, one can unleash ten times the strength of oneself.

However, the corresponding damage is also extremely severe. A ten-fold outbreak could lead to broken bones and paralysis.

After obtaining this secret technique, Lu Cheng practiced it constantly whenever he had time.

With the blessing of [Heaven's Mandate], he has now reached the second level, just like Xue Yin back then.

However, as a body-refining martial artist, his strength was twice that of a world of difference, and it would be extremely difficult for anyone present to stop him.

Time passed by, and the promised time for a cup of tea had long since elapsed.

Lu Cheng barely managed to hold on using the River-Blocking Halberd Technique and the Seven Strikes of the Mysterious Eagle.

Just as Lu Cheng was about to unleash his Blood Burning Technique and make a hasty retreat, the sound of rapid hoofbeats echoed on the main road.

Wan Chuan and Ge Long were in front, followed by Liu Cong and five others, with seven horses galloping rapidly.

Two arrows shot out from the dense forest with a "whoosh," but were easily intercepted by Wan Chuan and Ge Long.

Then a loud shout rang out:

"Hurry, they're two body cultivators!"

"Damn it!"

The man fighting Lu Cheng cursed angrily and slashed hard with his broadsword, knocking Lu Cheng back several steps.

He then quickly retreated into the dense forest with his four henchmen.

From the dense forest, five more arrows were fired in succession, one aimed at Lu Cheng and the other four at Wan Chuan and his companion.

Because of this obstruction, both Lu Cheng and Wan Chuan were a moment too slow, and the five robbers managed to sneak into the forest.

"Don't stop, keep chasing!"

Wan Chuan took the lead, brandishing his spear, and rode into the forest at full speed.

Ge Long glanced at Lu Cheng and followed closely behind.

After that, Liu Cong and the other four followed them inside.

Lu Cheng watched Liu Cong's retreating figure, his eyes flickering.

He tossed a small elixir into his mouth, picked up the Cold Star Halberd, and followed.
