Chapter 294: Killing All the Way
On the official road.
In the front row, hundreds of horses fell to the ground, and the cavalry who were originally riding high on their horses were also thrown off their horses. Although the cavalry in the rear braked in a hurry, several rows of cavalry still failed to stop.
Chen Jin saw this scene.
"How... is this possible?"
Chen Jin heard his son mumbling beside him and found that his thoughts were the same as his son's.
How is this possible?
The horses had no external injuries, so there was only one possibility: they were frightened and raised their hooves to throw the cavalry off them.
But this is cavalry.
Although he did not recognize this cavalry team, he could tell from the heavy armor on their bodies that they were definitely an elite cavalry. When he joined the army, he had dealt with a cavalryman and learned some information about war horses from him.
Not all horses can be used as war horses for cavalrymen. First of all, they must have pure bloodlines and usually be the offspring of war horses. If there are not enough offspring of war horses, the selected horses must be the trained third generation.
Only such war horses will not be easily frightened. Otherwise, when cavalry engages in battle with the enemy, the war horses will be easily frightened, and thus lose their composure.
War horses are more difficult to train than cavalry.
What on earth happened to cause these war horses to be injured?
Chen Jin seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly looked towards the carriage.
The person sitting in the carriage was not only a nobleman of extremely high status in the Dahan Trading Company, but also a powerful man.
"If you don't want to die, get out of the way!"
He Chuan sat in front of the carriage, pulling the reins, facing hundreds of cavalrymen with frightened looks on their faces, with no fear on his face.
The cavalry general looked at the carriage with a gloomy face. He knew who was sitting in the carriage, and the order given to him by the marquis was to kill the person in the carriage and bring the person's head to see the marquis.
The behind-the-scenes boss of Dahan Commercial Bank.
The Marquis had set his sights on the Dahan Trading Company several years ago, but because the Dahan Trading Company originated in Nanjiang Prefecture, which was not the Marquis' territory, the Marquis had no choice but to hold back.
But now that Zhenwu Palace has moved into Dahan Trading Company, the Marquis, as a disciple of Zhenwu Palace, finally has the opportunity to take over Dahan Trading Company, and has sent people to Nanjiangzhou to prepare to take control of the owner behind Dahan Trading Company.
But unexpectedly, the person sent by the Marquis was killed.
The other party killed the Marquis even though he knew he was his man. This made the Marquis furious and he ordered an assassination... Oh no, the owner of the Dahan Trading Company was killed openly.
And just three days ago, the Marquis received news from Nanjiangzhou that the behind-the-scenes boss of Dahan Trading Company had come to Qingzhou.
The owner of the Dahan Trading Company came to Qingzhou on his own initiative, which was considered a provocation by the Marquis.
The Marquis was furious and arranged for him to kill the enemy here. Of course, there was another arrangement before him, which was to kill the bandits in Tongfengling.
But it was obvious that Tongfengling had failed, and now he was likely to fail as well.
He didn't know whether the person sitting in the carriage was the man recorded in the Marquis' intelligence, Lin Ye, the young and somewhat unremarkable behind-the-scenes boss of the Dahan Trading Company.
But he could be sure of one thing, there was definitely a strong man of the upper-grade Jingzhe realm in the carriage.
Only a strong man of this level can scare a warhorse.
But even though he knew he might not be able to keep the people in the carriage, he could not retreat, because the Marquis had already issued a kill order.
"kill!"
The cavalry leader silently raised his hand, then shouted angrily, and the cavalrymen behind him also raised their guns!
call out!
A black sword shot out from the carriage, piercing directly through the leader's chest and dozens of cavalrymen behind the leader.
The cavalry leader couldn't even utter a groan, and the moment he fell, there was confusion on his face.
Can a strong person in the Jingzhe realm use such a sword?
This was beyond his understanding.
More than a dozen cavalrymen were pierced by the long swords and fell down. The momentum that the cavalrymen had finally gathered dissipated in an instant.
"Get out of the way."
He Chuan shouted loudly, his expression was somewhat excited. He was an orphan, adopted by Butler Xu. He had been with Butler Xu since he was very young, and later, when he was a little older, he followed Butler Xu to serve his own son.
He knew that his son was not only a warrior, but also a cultivator. He also knew that his son was very powerful, but he didn't expect him to be this powerful.
No wonder the young master dared to leave the county city with such fanfare and head to Qingzhou in full view of everyone.
The cavalrymen who had lost their general had lost their will to fight when they saw their colleagues lying on the ground, and they all made way for them.
He Chuan flicked the reins, and the carriage moved slowly, while the twelve guards quickly lined up on both sides of the carriage.
Chen Jin, who was standing behind him, saw the actions of the twelve guards and his mouth twitched. Is it necessary?
The person sitting in this carriage is the most powerful. Does he need your protection?
"Manager Chen, hurry up and follow me. It will be really dark soon. There are many bandits on this road, so it's not safe."
He Chuan's voice came from the front. Chen Jin looked at He Chuan who turned his head and smiled at him. His expression changed several times. Finally, he gritted his teeth and ordered the team behind him: "Let's go too."
Just now, he had the idea of separating from Dahan Trading Company.
He is not stupid. First, the robbers dared to rob the Dahan Trading Company, and now even the army has appeared. This has already explained a lot of problems. The enemy of the Dahan Trading Company is very likely a powerful person, and not an ordinary powerful person.
Their Santai Trading Company is just a small chamber of commerce. If they are caught up in the vortex of fighting between such big men, there is a high possibility that nothing will be left.
But Brother He's words also reminded him that no matter what the outcome of the fight between Dahan Trading Company and this powerful man was, they had already seen it. Would the powerful man let them go?
Now the only way out is to follow Dahan Trading Company.
"Witness... So this is what it means."
Chen Jin slapped his head. He remembered what Mr. He had said before. Now he finally understood what he meant. It seemed that he wanted them to be witnesses.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Your head hurts again? Do you want to take some medicine?"
Seeing his son's concerned eyes, Chen Jin had a strange expression. He wanted to slap his brainless son to wake him up, but he was also relieved by his son's filial piety.
Forget it. When I get to Qingzhou this time, I will send my son to my brother-in-law. After all, my brother-in-law is an official in the court. Even if I am implicated by the Dahan Trading Company and those powerful people in the end, I can still save my son's life.
…
…
Qingzhou, a mansion covering hundreds of acres.
"Waste, Xiao Mingchen is a waste, he can't even do such a thing, and those cavalrymen should all be executed."
In the living room, a young man had an angry look on his face. There was a broken teacup on the ground, and the boiling hot tea inside had spilled all over the floor.
“Sixth Junior Brother, why are you angry? That man is a top-grade warrior in the Jingzhe Realm. It’s understandable that your soldiers can’t deal with him. Warriors’ affairs are ultimately to be resolved by warriors. Third Junior Brother and I will go and kill him for you.” The middle-aged man sitting in the upper left position blew a breath into the teacup, then drank the boiling hot tea in one gulp.
"How dare I trouble Senior Brother and Third Brother?" Jiang Beiyu quickly shook his head.
"Sixth Junior Brother, you provide a lot of money to the Palace every year. Although you are also a member of our Zhenwu Palace, the Palace cannot fail to show some appreciation. The Dahan Commercial Bank is the reward from the Palace to you."
Jiang Beiyu looked grateful and said, "Beiyu is extremely grateful to Senior Brother. Half of the profits of the Han Commercial Bank will go to the palace in the future."
“That’s thoughtful.”
Wen Yuan nodded. If other disciples only gave half of the profit, it would not be much. But the situation of Sixth Junior Brother was different. The remaining half of the profit did not belong entirely to Sixth Junior Brother.
"Third Junior Brother, shall we go for a walk?"
"good."
The middle-aged man sitting on the right nodded. In fact, he wanted to say that he could go alone.
But now the master is not in Qingzhou, and the eldest senior brother is exercising the power of the head of the sect on behalf of the master, so he can only listen to the eldest senior brother's orders.
"Big Brother, Third Brother, let me, your junior brother, go with you?" Jiang Beiyu suggested.
"No need for that. This time it's mainly your Third Junior Brother who will take action. It's not easy to find a top-grade Jingzhe Realm expert. Let your Third Junior Brother practice with him. I'll be in charge of raiding the formation. If you go, how will others view our Zhenwu Palace if the news gets out?"
"Then I will warm up the wine for you two brothers in the mansion and wait for you two brothers to come back."
"Killing Hua Xiong with a warm wine, this is the story told by the storyteller from Kelaiju. This Kelaiju is also part of the Dahan Commercial Bank, right?"
"Yes, but it will soon belong to our Zhenwu Palace."
…
…
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day!
The sun rises.
Two figures walked slowly on the official road and appeared in front of the caravan.
The carriage did not stop.
"Third Junior Brother, it seems that the other party doesn't take us brothers seriously. They don't even plan to stop the car."
Wen Yuan smiled and looked at his third junior brother. As a top-grade Jingzhe realm expert, it was impossible for him not to sense the aura of his fellow junior brothers, but the other party did not stop. This was a kind of contempt for them.
“Humph, you don’t know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Even if you are a top-grade Jingzhe Realm warrior, there are still differences in strength.” Zhang Wenhu snorted coldly, and the next moment he shouted like thunder: “Turn over!”
This shout was directed at the horse.
When a strong man of the upper level in the Jingzhe realm roars, the horse will definitely be frightened. Wen Yuan has a playful expression on his face, and he is ready to see the scene of the carriage overturning.
Just as Wen Yuan and Zhang Wenhu had expected, the horse raised its front hooves in fear, and the servant driving the carriage grabbed the reins in panic, but it was doomed to be in vain.
However, just when they saw the servant unable to control the carriage, a gentle voice came from inside the carriage.
"It's really noisy, be quieter."
The sound seemed to be directed at the horse, and the frightened horse immediately calmed down. Wen Yuan's eyes condensed, and then he seemed to think of something and looked at his junior brother.
puff!
Zhang Wenhu spat out a mouthful of blood, and Wen Yuan knew that the first half of the other party's sentence was directed at his third junior brother.
Quiet and noisy!
Just this one sentence was enough to make Third Junior Brother vomit blood. He had wrongly underestimated the opponent's strength.
The other party is not at the upper level of Jingzhe realm, but at the great perfection of Jingzhe realm.
No wonder he dared to come to Qingzhou so blatantly.
"Are you disciples of Zhenwu Temple?"
A light voice came from the carriage, and Wen Yuan secretly a sigh of relief. He had underestimated the opponent's strength this time, and now he could only ask his master to save his life.
The other party asked this, obviously because he was afraid of coming into conflict with their Zhenwu Palace.
After all, in addition to the master who has reached the great perfection of the Jingzhe realm, there is also a martial arts saint uncle in charge of the temple.
"I am Wen Yuan, the eldest disciple of Zhenwu Temple, and this is my third junior brother Zhang Wenhu. I heard that there was some misunderstanding between you and my sixth junior brother, so I came here specially to clarify it."
In Wen Yuan's opinion, the other party has reached the Great Perfection of the Jingzhe Realm, so it is unlikely that he can seize the business. The other party probably came to Qingzhou to make the Sixth Junior Brother give up the business.
What I said gave the other party a way out, and his goal was achieved.
"It would be good if you are a disciple of Zhenwu Temple."
"A disciple of Zhenwu Temple will be fine." Wen Yuan didn't quite understand what the other party meant. What did he mean by a disciple of Zhenwu Temple will be fine?
But the next moment, Wen Yuan understood.
Two long swords, one black and one white, shot out from the carriage and disappeared in his dilated pupils.
Wen Yuan looked at the shocked look in his third junior brother's eyes, then saw the sword hole on his chest. He seemed to have realized something and looked down at his chest.
There is also a sword hole there.
He somewhat understood what the other party meant when he said that being a disciple of Zhenwu Palace would be fine.
But what he didn't understand was, wasn't the other party afraid of their uncle master from Zhenwu Palace?
"Two more people died. I just don't know what their identities were."
Chen Jin looked at Wen Yuan and the other man lying on the ground, and muttered to himself that although his small business had dealt with warriors, the most powerful warrior he had ever seen was just one who had just entered the Hundred Furnaces Realm, and had no idea of the existence of the True Martial Palace.
He didn't even know what the identity of the eldest disciple of Zhenwu Palace meant.
All I know is that these two people appeared very pretentious, and their status should be not low. It's a pity that they still couldn't take the sword.
The carriage continued to move forward.
Inside the car, Lin Ye looked at the two swords, one black and one white, in his palms. As he clenched his palms, the two swords began to merge and finally turned into a purple sword.
This sword is the peach wood sword that he has been tempering for the past three years.
But now the sword no longer looks like peach wood, and the material of the entire sword cannot be seen clearly because the entire body is surrounded by purple lightning.
This is more like a thunder sword.
"It seems that the appearance of this sword has made my killing intent stronger than before."
Lin Ye felt the power coming from the lightning sword in his hand, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face. If it were in the past, he would have more likely destroyed the cultivation of these two disciples from the Zhenwu Palace instead of killing them directly.
"Unfortunately, this sword can only be driven by the spirit."
Lin Ye had a look of regret on his face. Unlike the previous black and white swords, which he could drive with seals, he had tried to drive this sword but was unable to do so. He could only drive it by summoning his soul.
However, he has not yet entered the realm of Yuanshen, and his Yuanshen is not stable. He will not use his Yuanshen to fight the enemy unless it is absolutely necessary.
This also means that he has not seen the true power of this sword.
This time he came to Qingzhou, in addition to dealing with Marquis Zhenwei and avenging the dead shopkeepers, he also had another purpose in mind.
The thought that witnesses the power of this sword.
"I don't know if I can really fight against the Martial Saint of Zhenwu Palace this time!"
Lin Ye opened his palm and the sword disappeared.
