Chapter Nineteen: The Black Robe

  "Is there anyone here? Poison Maiden, you didn't misjudge, did you?" The bald-headed man asked first.

  The poisonous girl looked at him with an unpleasant expression, the bald man saw the situation and revealed a difficult smile, the poisonous girl glanced at him and said: "You this bald head, when did I, the poisonous girl, feel wrong? In this regard, I am much stronger than you several..."

  Five people looked towards the poisonous girl's gaze, five sharp gazes went in that direction, which made Xu Hua and Luo Cheng, who were hiding behind a clump of grass, jump in surprise. They thought to themselves that it was not good. Unexpectedly, these people's senses were so strong, they could discover them even from such a far distance. However, the two did not make any sudden movements, hiding in place without moving, as if they had not noticed the five people at all. Fortunately, the direction where the two were located was not the direction where Xue Ying and his brother were fleeing, so the five people did not have time to bother with them.

  "Nothing at all..." Except for Du Nangzi, the other four people couldn't find Xu Hua and the others, but they still deeply believed in Du Nangzi's words.

  "We should still complete the task first, and then come back to find those two later." The four others nodded in agreement with Du Nangzi's words, as the bandit chief's orders were of utmost importance. Even Guang Tou Hanzi, who loved to tear human flesh, restrained his urge.

  Until the five people were far away, the two of them let out a breath in unison, taking big, greedy gulps of the air in the forest.

  "Master, they've found us!" Luo Cheng said uncertainly.

  Xu Hua furrowed his brow, recalling the scene from just now in his mind, and nodded solemnly. "I can be sure that someone among them has discovered us, unexpectedly hiding so far away yet still being found, it seems we really underestimated the people of the world!"

  "Why didn't they look for us...or pay attention to us..."

  "Perhaps they think we're just small fries, not worth bothering with, or the person they're chasing after is very important to them. I'll follow up and take a look..." Xu Hua had clearly seen the murderous intent in the eyes of that woman just now.

  "Gentlemen, they are very strong. If you really want to deal with them, one person may not be able to withstand it." Luo Cheng didn't know what these people were, but he could also feel the other party's powerful aura just now. In his opinion, at least they were martial artists of a certain level, and not ordinary martial artists either. As for what level they had reached, that was something he couldn't know. Although the young master's physique was strong, he was too kind-hearted in his heart, and Luo Cheng really didn't have any confidence when facing them.

  "Let's go, it's rare to see such a thing, and we can't miss it."

  Xu Hua seemed a bit eccentric, and the two quickly followed him.

  Half a time period had passed, during which the speed of the two Snow Eagles had slowed down several times, clearly they were too exhausted. Even with the Replenishing Qi Pellet to replenish their true energy, it was no use. The same went for the five people from Clear Wind Fort, who had been chasing the two for almost a day without stopping, and the consumption on both sides was extremely high.

  "Hei Zi, what exactly are we escorting this time that they're chasing after us relentlessly..." Shi Tou had endured for the sake of Wu Wang's beautiful dream before, but now he really couldn't hold on anymore. It was only then that he thought of the goods they were escorting.

  "This journey, I didn't have time to study carefully, but escorting once gave three broken Xuan Ling Dan, such a big hand, it's obviously not ordinary things. However, our top priority is still to get the Broken Xuan Dan to break through Wu Wang. But...it seems this time is really dangerous, I should have thought of it earlier, how could such precious gifts be so easy? Unexpectedly, not only did we fail to complete the task, but Chuanzi also died, and the two of us are in a precarious situation, regretting not doing it from the beginning!" Shi Tou said with a dejected face.

  "Stones, let's fight them head-on, only then will we have a glimmer of hope." Hei Zi suddenly stopped running.

  Looking at Hei Zi who had stopped, Shi Tou fell silent and also came to a halt, apparently he thought the same way.

  "Haha, why aren't you running away? Aren't the two of you very good at running?" The five men from behind caught up and surrounded them, while the bald strong man panted violently like a cow and said.

  These seven people were already extremely exhausted, and their heavy breathing and violently pounding hearts could be clearly heard all around.

  "The three Snow Eagle brothers are said to be able to rival the Martial King, but I didn't see it that way. Instead, we five easily crushed one of them." The one-eyed guest's eyes gleamed with a fierce light, like a ferocious tiger spotting its prey, exuding a bloodthirsty aura.

  "Damn it, if you hadn't poisoned him, how could Chuanzi have been killed so easily by you guys?" Heizi was visibly furious.

  "Haha, you're still a well-known figure after all these years, don't you know how to be ruthless? Poisoning is my specialty, using one's weakness to attack another's strength? We're not fools." The poisonous girl smiled sweetly, the snake-like markings on her face sending chills down people's spines.

  "Hahaha……" The other four also burst out laughing, and Hei Zi became furious, just about to take action when he was stopped by Shi Tou beside him. Shi Tou said: "I'm very curious why you've been pursuing us relentlessly, even knowing our route. Can the five Clear Wind Fort war generals enlighten me?"

  "Tell you what! What's the big idea?! I've been chasing after him for so long, almost got myself killed from exhaustion! This guy can really run!" The bald and muscular man joked first.

  The stone didn't look at him, as if he was very disdainful, which made the bald head extremely angry. The stone looked at the black-robed leader and said calmly, "Black Robe, so you're planning to fight us two brothers to the death?"

  "Hand over what you're escorting and I'll let the two of you leave." The hoarse voice came from the black-robed figure's mouth.

  "Haha, for this thing, Chuanzi died, you think I'll easily hand it over? That's impossible! Moreover, do you five really think you can take down my brother and me?" Stone Zhang burst out laughing wildly, his small body emitting a powerful aura that made the pupils of the five people opposite him shrink.

  "It's no wonder that you're a well-known figure, this aura is not much different from the strong ones who just entered the Wu Wang period! " The black robe was taken off and thrown outside, revealing a face that had been burned to an extremely terrifying state. "As you said, your three brothers paid a lot for this, and our five brothers also spent a lot of energy, let alone it's the order from my master, we must complete it. If all three of you were here, I naturally wouldn't dare to be so arrogant, but with just two of you, you think you can be rampant in front of us five? You're overestimating yourself."

  "Who would have thought that one day, the two of us brothers would be ridiculed like this? What else can we say, let's just fight!" Hei Zi's face was gloomy, as if water was about to seep out.

  Boom!

  He took the lead in slapping a palm towards the bald and muscular man opposite him, he had endured for a long time, now that he made his move, he used all his strength. The bald man opposite him quickly reacted as well, punching out a fist to meet Hei Zi's palm.

  "Poisonous girl, go help Baldy, the three of us will take care of Snow Eagle's boss." The black-robed man's hoarse voice sounded again, and all seven people moved their hands, causing the surroundings to shake and emit waves of sound. The tall trees were knocked down by the battle's impact.

  "Let me see the strength of Qingfeng Village's Five War Generals!" Shi Tou waved his large hand, and a massive amount of true energy surged out from within his body.

  ……

  In the distance of eighty zhang from the Seven People's Battlefield, Xu Hua and Luo Cheng were sneaking up stealthily. They hadn't seen the previous scene very clearly, but this current battle made them even more careful to hide their figures.

  "Gentlemen, they're fighting, seemingly over some treasure." Luo Cheng's words were soft, so soft that only Xu Hua beside him could hear.

  "It seems that those five people were chasing and killing those two. Shouldn't we help them?" Xu Hua whispered.

  His words, however, shocked Luo Cheng, who hastily stopped him, saying: "Absolutely not, it's too dangerous now. Moreover, judging from the situation, both sides are evenly matched. Even if you want to save them, you can wait until they're almost done fighting and then intervene."

  Xu Hua nodded and said, "Let's take another look then!"

  The battlefield ahead, the two sides fought for only twenty or so breaths of time, and several people had already fallen, with Light Head and Poisonous Girl being slightly suppressed by Black Son. However, Black Son was also unable to gain the upper hand against the two of them, and the two sides were roughly evenly matched; while Stone alone fought against three black-robed figures but did not fall into any disadvantage.

  One man fought against three champions, and Shi Tou's majestic demeanor was fully displayed. His green shirt fluttered, his true energy exploded, and the sound of "hiss" echoed through the air. However, the faint redness at the corner of his mouth and the slight trembling of his hands when they were clasped together revealed that he was not relaxed.

  Across from him, the sickly bookworm coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turning even paler. The one-eyed, bearded guest shook his hand, which had been shaken to the point of swelling, and his eyes were filled with an incredulous expression. "This Snow Eagle Old Big Shot is too strong!"

  "As expected, you're indeed the Snow Eagle elder, with impressive strength. No wonder the three Snow Eagle brothers are known as being comparable to the Martial King. With just one person like you, it's no surprise that you can rival the Martial King. Your reputation is well-deserved... but if that's all there is to you, then go die." The hoarse and overbearingly tyrannical words made everyone's hearts skip a beat.

  The whiskered guest's face showed an even more incredulous expression, and he muttered to himself: "Is he really that strong?"

  The young scholar's eyes flickered with a hint of "I knew it" as he muttered to himself, "No wonder the leader is so wary of him. I'd like to see what you're really relying on!"

  "Take this palm strike!" The black-robed figure's palm seemed ordinary, but the cautious Stone still used his full strength to meet it.

  "Bang......"

  The two palms met, and a loud rumbling sound burst out. In an instant, a flush of red flashed across the stone-faced man's face.

  "Hmmph..."

  The stone spat out a mouthful of blood, retreated tens of steps back, and stopped under the obstruction of a thick and sturdy tree. What followed was the sound of the big tree splitting from its roots.

  Everyone was shocked to see this scene, their eyes full of horror, especially Hei Zi, whose eyeballs were about to pop out, howling in grief and wanting to come over to help, but being firmly blocked by Du Nangzi and Guang Tou.

  Looking at the black robe approaching step by step, the stone actually revealed a smile. "Everyone has underestimated you, and it seems that Lu Tianhu, the owner of Qingfeng Village, is no exception. Dying in your hands is not unjust!"

  "Then go die..." Still a hoarse voice, but even more chilling than before.

  "Spare his life..."

  Two figures emerged from behind.
