Chapter 10: This martial artist is clearly exceptionally strong yet excessively cautious

But it was already too late; after two arrows missed their mark, one arrow pierced straight into its chest

In "A monk, a Daoist, a madman, two dragons, four kings, and six sect leaders," the madman? Fang Xian became interested: "He actually hails from Heishan County?"

Liu Yan shook her head as soon as she saw it

A runner from the front approached at a brisk pace, cupped his fists in salute, and reported: "There has been an incident ahead, and we kindly request that several escort leaders go and take a look"

Before the words had left his mouth, Fang Xian shot three arrows in quick succession

Jiang Lang felt an overwhelming sense of grief and indignation

He is not suffering from persecution delusions or excessive caution; he simply saw through the Eye of Insight that the person is still alive, not only alive but also in good health

Everyone, lift your spirits! After we pass this mountain pass, we will go to the city to drink and eat meat

The arrow wound on his back was merely superficial, but the arrow that pierced his chest directly struck his vital point, making it impossible for even a deity to save him

Puff

The zombie leaned against the tree trunk, his face filled with indignation: "The three stars aligned arrow, what a great technique! I never expected that I, Jiang Lang of the 'Zombie Fist', would die here... That kid, how did you see through my 'Death-Defying Technique'?"

He thought for a moment and had a bodyguard pass him the longbow

Amidst the adoration and astonishment of the crowd, Fang Xian seemed a bit embarrassed as he scratched his head and said, "I just felt that one arrow was not reliable, so I thought I would try a few more arrows..."

Fang Xian suddenly raised the riding whip

It sprang up quickly, seemingly able to walk without moving its knees, retreating like a zombie

In his heart, he was already prepared to tear this archer into a thousand pieces

Haha ... ... Qian Sanwu's originally expressionless face broke into a hearty laugh, while Liu Yan wanted to come over and comfort Fang Xian with a few words: "It is good for young people to be cautious, but it should not be taken too far ... ... "

Black Tiger departs, all evils retreat

Qian Sanwu let out a cold snort, indicating that as an old hand in the field, he had consumed more salt than Fang Xian had eaten rice

Drink

Wait a moment

Is this enough to drive someone to death from anger

Qian Sanwu and others held weapons in hand, their eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings, no longer exhibiting the leisurely demeanor of before

Quack!

Clang clang

"Senior experts, truly admirable." During this period, Fang Xian occasionally visited taverns and other places to listen for news. He is no longer a novice, yet he still holds a great deal of respect for these grassroots masters

Hehe... it is still better for Brother Fang to rest with his eyes closed. This time we need to deliver the goods to Heishan County. The first half of the journey within the county should be safe, as there shouldn't be any bandits with the audacity to challenge us. However, once we leave the county, it will be a different story...

He is a notorious thief from Heishan County. Due to his practice of the Zombie Fist, his body often resembles that of a dead person, and he frequently takes advantage of this by lying on the official road to attract people's attention.

Liu Yan and Qian Sanwu looked at him strangely

Blood flows like a torrent

The mountain roads here are rugged, and they are often plagued by gray langurs, making it a common area for bandits to frequent

Montenegro County

Puff!

In the County of Heishan, Fang Xian wore a smile that was neither fully a smile nor a frown, recalling the group of martial artists he had encountered earlier in the tea pavilion, who seemed to have originated from the Qingyu Gate of this county

Fang Xian insists on his own viewpoint

This cannot be guaranteed either; perhaps there are indeed sinister techniques in the martial world that can feign death

Once someone approaches, he erupts into violence, often achieving his goal with ease

Suddenly, that corpse moved.

... ...

If we speak of the most famous in Heishan County, it would naturally be that 'madman'

I have not discerned any techniques of enduring death

Thinking of this, he could not help but ask.

Such a healthy warrior lying on the road is clearly not intending to treat anyone to a meal

How is it?

Only a person could be seen lying on the road ahead, face down, making it impossible to discern their features, surrounded by a pool of black blood that was nearly congealed

Why is it like this

At that moment, there was no time to evade. Jiang Lang, without hesitation, prepared to rely on a technique known as 'Death Endurance Technique,' which essentially involved ignoring bodily pain and pretending to be a corpse to withstand the situation, completely dispelling the enemy's suspicions

Hehe... Generally, people in the martial world truly do not know of such secrets. Liu Yan laughed, her beauty swaying like a flower: "Only the money courier, coming from Heishan County, would know a thing or two about it"

A few black crows were cawing in the trees around, creating a somewhat awkward scene

Fang Xian rode a chestnut horse, observing his surroundings with great interest; this was his first escort mission

Of course, this involves his trump card, and naturally, it cannot be stated explicitly

It seems that a scholar has fallen victim to robbers, losing even his life; truly a tragic fate

By probing indirectly, it became evident that this Qingyu Sect is indeed a second-rate force; apart from the sect leader Han Yunfeng, who is suspected to possess innate abilities, there are no other disciples capable of holding up the scene.

I did not expect to encounter the eccentric Fang Xian today, and I actually shot him with an arrow!

I wonder what renowned martial artists are from Heishan County

The weather is fine and sunny

Naturally, this is because the court wishes to cover up its shame. Back in the day, this 'Madman of Chu' single-handedly wielded a sword and penetrated the imperial palace of the Yuanwu Kingdom, defeating the most formidable foes... Liu Yan remarked: 'A monk, a Daoist, and a madman, are now the supreme grandmasters at the pinnacle of the martial world, their reputation far surpassing that of the Four Kings of the Twin Dragons and the leaders of the Six Major Sects... The reason the Madman of Chu is even more revered by the money escort masters is that he has neither the support of an orthodox sect nor any astonishing legacy or martial arts; he has solely relied on external martial arts to achieve innate mastery, remaining undefeated in a hundred battles.

At that moment, the convoy suddenly came to a halt

The Supreme Grandmaster, one cannot fathom the realm he occupies

How can you be sure that this person is dead? What if it is a trap designed to deceive us?" Fang Xiandao replied, "The lives of us, the ones who take risks, are also valuable!"

The arrow pierced directly into the back of the 'corpse', yet the 'corpse' remained motionless

Yes. A few henchmen exchanged glances and were about to step forward to collect the bodies

He inhaled deeply and suddenly shot an arrow at the 'corpse'.

As soon as the words were spoken, Jiang Lang spat out a fountain of blood towards the sky and fell straight down.

However, I never expected that my significant sacrifice of 'disguise' would be so easily seen through by this kid

Puff!

A convoy of bodyguards slowly traveled along the official road, with the lead escort holding a flag embroidered with a black tiger in both hands, clearing the way ahead.

In ten days or so

Beside them were the flamboyantly dressed escort Liu Yan and the expressionless Qian Sanwu.

Only those who have truly risen from the bottom understand that the effort required is several times, if not dozens of times, greater than that of those with excellent backgrounds

Hmph, unaware of the heights of heaven and the depths of the earth, deserving of death... What are you still dawdling for? Just clean it up and bury it!

The sun shines brightly, could it be that this fellow has a penchant for whipping corpses

Hmph... My eyes are not blind. His body shows no signs of movement, nor is there any breath of life. Coupled with so much blood... it is evident that he is completely dead.

The members of the escort agency looked at Fang Xian with expressions that were quite strange

At this moment, Qian Sanwu, who had been expressionless all along, suddenly spoke, and there was surprisingly a hint of admiration in his tone

Fang Xian nodded, riding alongside Liu Yan and Qian Sanwu to the front of the convoy

Cangyuan Mountain

This bow is inferior to a crossbow, but it is much better than what I used to hunt with; its strength is at least 3 stones

Oh? Why has it stopped?

Qian Sanwu said coldly
