From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

"Um?"

After leaving the official road, the path gradually narrowed, with mottled reeds and elephant grass growing on both sides, each more than a person tall.

As the sun sets in the evening, a gentle breeze blows and the water ripples softly, like waves on a lake.

Chen Shi glanced at both sides, gently pulled on the reins, and couldn't help but slow down. A moment later, the carriage in the middle of the procession caught up.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Chen Shi outside, Yun'er lifted the curtain and couldn't help but ask a question.

"It's nothing, it's just..."

Chen Shi smiled, but halfway through his sentence, his eyes suddenly widened.

From the grass, a sharp arrow sliced ​​through several blades of grass, falling like a meteor straight towards the carriage.

Snapped!

Chen Shi suddenly reached out and grabbed the arrow's fletching.

It was probably a powerful bow with a weight exceeding ten dan (a unit of weight), which Chen Shi caught, but the arrow was still buzzing and trembling.

The sharp arrow was less than three inches away from Yun'er, who was leaning against the car window!

Yun'er, who had just been smiling, turned pale the moment she saw the chilling arrows in front of her.

"go back!"

Chen Shi gripped the arrow tightly, snapping it in two, and with a low shout, pushed Yun'er back.

Swish swish~!

The next moment, a piercing sound of something cutting through the air rang out, accompanied by flying grass stalks, as a dense barrage of arrows shot out from the grass on both sides.

Chen Shi's expression was serious. He held a one-foot-long knife in his hand, and with a burst of energy, he swung it around like a shield, protecting Xiao Fengxiao's carriage.

However, he could only protect one side.

The sound of arrows rang out, and the other side of the carriage was riddled with arrows, some of which were so powerful that they pierced through the wooden planks and entered the carriage itself.

But with Xiao Fengxiao's cultivation level, she should be able to handle the arrows coming from the other side.

"Ah~!"

Screams rang out one after another, but the other servants did not have the strength and were shot dead in an instant.

Even the guards were caught off guard and lost two of them.

"There's an assassin!"

"Protect our master!"

However, as the elite of the Marquis's mansion, these guards reacted extremely quickly. With their weapons in hand, they deflected the incoming arrows while forming a circular formation to protect the carriage in the middle.

Tap tap tap!

After a volley of arrows, a group of people emerged from the bushes.

Their clothing varied and their weapons were disorganized, unlike a regular army. They all covered their faces with black cloths or wore masks.

Chen Shi glanced at them and saw that there were more than a hundred people!

However, judging from their aura, most of them were only ninth or eighth-rank martial artists, with only about ten seventh-rank ones.

There was also a burly man whose aura of blood was almost impossible to conceal; he was already at the sixth rank, the same level as Chen Shi.

"snort."

Holding a foot-long knife in his hand, Chen Shi smiled slightly.

Judging by their setup, they don't seem to be ordinary robbers; they seem to have come specifically to target them.

Unfortunately, the other party only knew that Chen Shi was a sixth-grade cultivator, but did not know that as a king-level divine body, Chen Shi's strength could not be measured by common sense!

With such a small force, they dare to attempt an assassination? They're practically courting death!

"superior!"

As they pondered, the sixth-rank martial artist leading the group gave a cold shout, and hundreds of people surged forward at once.

"Brothers! Let's fight!"

The guards of the Marquis's residence, their faces ashen, shouted and went straight to meet them.

Despite the vast disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, as guards of the Marquis's mansion, even knowing that death was the only option, we had no choice but to fight to the death and could not retreat!

The sixth-rank martial artist on the other side, confident in his status, did not join the attack, allowing the Marquis's guards to hold off the enemy to some extent. The sixth-rank martial artist crossed his arms, looking at Chen Shi with disdain.

Clearly, his only rival was Chen Shi.

"You guys be careful, I'm going to deal with these assassins."

Chen Shi whispered something to someone inside the carriage and prepared to make his move.

Don't go.

Xiao Fengxiao spoke up to stop him, then added something.

"Take us and get out of here."

"escape?"

Chen Shi frowned and continued.

"Although there are many assassins, I don't take them seriously. There's no need for me to run away."

"Hey~ I told you to run, so run! Hurry up!"

Xiao Fengxiao gave a soft hum and urged again.

"Oh well."

Chen Shi's brows relaxed, and he didn't say anything more.

Given Xiao Fengxiao's shrewdness, she must have her reasons for doing this.

If we're going to escape, we need to hurry.

Once they escaped, the assassins no longer needed to kill the guards and servants, which could be considered saving their lives.

Thinking of this, Chen Shi leaped and jumped directly onto the carriage.

The coachman had been shot dead by the previous volley of arrows, his body lying to one side. Chen Shi tossed him aside, grabbed the reins with one hand, and forcefully stabbed the horse's rump with his foot-long knife.

hiss~!

With a neigh, the two strong horses reared up in pain and immediately galloped away.

Seeing Chen Shi's intentions, the guards of the Marquis's residence immediately stepped aside to make way.

"Stop them!"

Instead, the assassin shouted loudly and tried to step forward to stop him.

Chen Shi drove the car with one hand and held a foot-long knife in the other, a cold smile on his lips. Any assassin who dared to approach was instantly cut down with a single stroke.

There were only about a hundred people, but they were about to rush out in the blink of an eye.

Whoosh!

Just then, a tall figure rushed up – it was the sixth-rank martial artist!

Chen Shi glanced at it, then slashed at it with his sword again.

The man's eyes widened, his blood energy solidified, and he reached out to block, only to be sent flying with a bang.

"Overestimating one's abilities."

Chen Shi glanced at the man who had flown more than ten meters away and then rolled on the ground for another ten meters like a gourd, and snorted disdainfully.

Although he was sitting in a carriage with his feet off the ground and unable to draw upon the power of the earth's veins, his own strength was still far beyond that of an ordinary martial artist.

It's ridiculous that anyone would actually believe that products of the same quality have the same strength.

"drive!"

After swatting away the sixth-rank martial artist, and with no one stopping him, Chen Shi forcefully flicked the reins, and the carriage rushed out of the crowd, heading straight into the distance.

"Stop them! Stop them, chase them!"

The sixth-rank martial artist then got up from the ground and shouted at the top of his lungs, but the next moment, he saw that the carriage had already broken through the encirclement.

With an angry shout, he immediately used his movement technique to give chase.

The other assassins, regaining their senses, also gave chase. Those with good agility pursued directly, while those with less stamina fetched horses from the bushes, mounted, and gave chase.

The carriage was fast enough to keep up for a short time, but it was not so fast that it could be left behind.

The group pursued relentlessly for nearly half an hour. Ahead, the mountains rose and fell, and the terrain became increasingly rugged. The wheels of the carriage ran over a large rock, which suddenly bounced up, causing the entire carriage to overturn.

"quick!"

Upon seeing the carriage overturn, the assassin behind him became excited and immediately shouted as he gave chase.

The wheels were still spinning rapidly, and the two strong horses broke free of their reins and stood up, but Chen Shi, the driver, was nowhere to be seen.

Could they have hidden inside the train carriage?

The crowd surrounded them, weapons in hand, and slowly approached.

Whoops!

The next moment, when the carriage curtain was suddenly lifted, everyone's expression changed.

The empty carriage was completely deserted; there wasn't a single person there, let alone Chen Shi.

"Damn it! Where did everyone go?!"

He carelessly lifted the cushions inside and threw them out. There was indeed no one there. The sixth-rank martial artist cursed angrily.

Looking around, the sky was gradually darkening, and the wilderness was about to be shrouded in darkness.

It became even harder to find him after dark, which made him increasingly annoyed, so he shouted at the crowd.

"What are you all standing there for! Hurry up and start searching!"
