Chapter 30: Encounter with the Masked Man

Zhao Chuan asked what it was, and Zhang Kui explained that it was given to him by the crown prince in the spring, and it was said that after eating one, he would permanently improve his cultivation.

As for how far Zhang Kui has been promoted, he doesn't know how far he has been promoted, after all, as a Taishou, he doesn't have to take risks everywhere, so he has never had a chance to use it.

Zhang Kui felt that Zhao Chuan would definitely use it in the future, so he gave him the gold box.

And told Zhao Chuan that the side effects of this spring were strong, and according to the crown prince, the Taoist priest who refined this pill said that there was a 50% chance of failure in the spring, and the person who took it would be in danger of exploding and dying.

Zhao Chuan was so frightened that he wanted to push it back, but looking at Zhang Kui's expectant expression, he couldn't bear to accept it, thinking that he didn't plan to use it anyway, and it would naturally be okay to accept it.

After instructing Zhao Chuan a few more words, Zhang Kui was willing to let him go, and told him that he didn't have to come to say goodbye when he left tomorrow.

Zhao Chuan walked out of the house, stood in front of Zhang Kui's door for a quarter of an hour, and finally bowed with his hands together before turning around and leaving.

Along the way, Zhao Chuan felt extremely uncomfortable.

Faced with the love of such an old man, he was full of lies and even hid shocking secrets in his heart.

Zhao Chuan felt that he was overwhelmed, but for the sake of his goal, he had to bear this, otherwise everything would be ruined.

Early the next day, Zhao Chuan and the others packed up and led a hundred ironclad troops to escort Xiong Wujian.

Leaving sixty guards Zhang Kui safe, after all, the ironclad army is different from the rest of the troops, and it is very difficult to replenish it.

This time Zhao Chuan went to Xiangyun City, another thing was to find some talents and supplement them to the Iron Armor Army.

And it can only be a confidant, otherwise Zhao Chuan and their assassination will not have a more comprehensive guarantee at that time.

Xiong Wuji, trapped in the prisoner car, has lost his former arrogant appearance, his hair is messy and covers his face, and he looks like a beggar from a distance.

Zhu Ningxin, Zhuang Lan, Wen Teng, Zhang Chu and Chen Fei are all on the right and left, and the plan has been carried out here, and it has reached a critical moment, and success or failure only depends on this opportunity.

After walking for an hour, the weather began to gradually get hotter, and the soldiers were all tired, so Zhao Chuan ordered to rest in place.

Zhu Ningxin hit the horse to Zhao Chuan's side, held the horse whip and said: "Let everyone stay vigilant, it is not a secret that we escort Xiong Wuji, and the departure time and route cannot escape Mo Sen's meticulous work at all, so it is better to be careful." ”

Zhao Chuan nodded, then rode to the front of the whole army, and said loudly: "Always be vigilant, you will reach Xiangyun City in half an hour, and there can be no loss." ”

"Wow!" Wen Teng and the others immediately responded.

After a short rest, the escort continued its march.

In a blink of an eye, they came to a dense forest, and the soldiers, who had long been scorched by the sun, suddenly happily slapped their horses and accelerated their march.

As the five ironclads walked side by side to a low bush, the ground suddenly collapsed and swept them into it.

"Ahh

For a moment the screams of the people and the neighing of the horses rang out.

After discovering the situation, Zhao Chuan immediately took someone forward to check.

I saw that the five people and horses below had already been killed by the sharp blades in the deep pit, and their deaths were extremely miserable.

"Kill!"

Just when everyone was stunned, a large group of masked people suddenly appeared in all directions, holding swords and sharp blades and rushing towards the ironclad army.

Zhao Chuan glanced at it and preliminarily estimated the number of enemies, which was as many as five hundred.

With such a large number of people, they didn't even find the slightest flaw before, and their ability to hide was very strong.

"Brothers, gather towards the prisoner cart, don't let the enemy touch the prisoner cart, kill me!" Zhao Chuan raised the golden black sword and took the lead in slashing two masked men to death in a row.

As soon as he passed his hand, Zhao Chuan noticed the difference, these masked people turned out to be all monks.

Although the two masked men were hacked to death by Zhao Chuan, before they died, they also released their mysterious power to shock Zhao Chuan's horses to death.

Zhao Chuan also rolled off the horse, and suddenly countless sharp blades stabbed him.

No matter how good Zhao Chuan was, it was difficult to parry so many sharp blades, but at that moment of crisis, a long sword appeared out of thin air, killing ten people at an extremely fast speed.

Pulling the long sword out of the last man's abdomen, Zhu Ning asked coldly, "Are you okay?"

Zhao Chuan shook his head and said, "Thank you." ”

Zhu Ningxin rolled his eyes and said, "No need, I just want to keep your life to do great things, you can't die until the task is completed." ”

Here Zhu Ning was talking in his heart, when suddenly a flying arrow shot head-on, with a sound of breaking the air.

Zhu Ningxin didn't notice it at all, it was enough to see that the profound skills of this archery were definitely not under Zhu Ning's heart.

"Be careful!" Zhao Chuan didn't have time to remind her, so in Zhu Ning's puzzled gaze, he used all his strength to push her away.

"Poof!"

Zhao Chuan was suddenly hit by an arrow in the back, and the person directly lay on the ground and curled up together.

"Hmph, kill me!" put away his bow and arrows, and the masked leader hurried to pick up his sword.

Suddenly, Zhu Ningxin and Zhao Chuan were surrounded by more than 30 people, completely cut off from the Iron Armor Army and Wen Teng.

Zhu Ningxin picked up Zhao Chuan, only to see that his eyes were closed and his lips were purple and he fainted, and immediately understood that this was poisoned, and the arrow was probably highly poisonous.

"Zhao Chuan, you can't sleep, open my eyes quickly!" Zhu Ningxin patted Zhao Chuan's face with one hand, and found that he still didn't have any reaction.

This made Zhu Ning's heart anxious, and for the first time, he leaked a look of bewilderment.

The thirty people who had already been eyeing each other were killed in an instant under the leadership of the masked leader.

Zhu Ningxin hugged Zhao Chuan with one hand, and resisted with a sword in the other, and after stabbing several people to death in a row, he kept moving closer to Wen Teng's direction.

The masked leader guessed Zhu Ningxin's intentions, so he stepped forward to block it.

"Count your fate, where do you want to go, your opponent is me!" The masked leader suddenly became angry after seeing that five more masked people were killed by Zhu Ningxin.

"Sonorous!"

The two of them suddenly encountered a weapon, and Zhu Ningxin repelled the masked leader with a sword, but the latter did it not take long for him to come again.

Coupled with the harassment of the rest of the masked people next to him, Zhu Ningxin, who was facing the enemy with one hand, could not exert his full strength.

Facing the masked leader whose strength was not weaker than his own, Zhu Ningxin didn't know how long he could continue to resist.

In another place, Wen Teng and the others, who were struggling to fight with the masked man, were not very optimistic.

They were grouped around the prisoner van, the most numerous of the masked men's attacks, where at least 400 people gathered.

Wen Teng and Zhuang Lan, Zhang Chu, and Chen Fei were already fighting to the death, but there were too many enemies, and as time went by, they gradually became powerless.

The original 100-strong ironclad army, after falling into the trap, only more than 90 people remained, and at this moment, after several fierce attacks by masked people, now there are only more than 30 people left who can fight again, and the rest are either dead or injured and have no ability to fight.

"Brothers, the prisoner car is close at hand, rescue His Royal Highness the King of the South, and go back to reward thousands of gold and seal the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

I don't know who said this among the masked people, and suddenly the morale of the masked people's team was greatly boosted, and the attack became more violent.

"Brother Wen, the brothers can't stop it if it goes on like this, we have to think of a way!"

When Zhang Chu waved his double knife, the two masked men died.

Not far away, Zhuang Lan and Chen Fei couldn't parry, and the masked people around them killed more and more, and gradually consumed a huge amount.

Wen Teng's tiger head knife was inserted through the chest of a masked man, splitting it in half in an instant, and the blood flowed endlessly.

Looking at the exhausted crowd and the increasing number of masked people, Wen Teng shouted in a low voice: "Hold on, hold on no matter what!"

Wen Teng and the others have been forced under the prisoner car, and at this moment, the masked people only need to kill Wen Teng and a few people, and Xiong Wujian can be successfully rescued.

"Are we really going to die here?" Zhuang Lan's eyes were red, and his body was already stained with blood.

Although Wen Teng is good, Zhuang Lan, Zhang Chu, Chen Fei and a few others, everyone is a master in the Xuan Realm, but these masked people are not weak, and the lowest strength is also a great achievement in Qi training, and there are not a few Xiaocheng in Tongxuan.

Under the siege of such a large number of masked men, Wen Teng and the others began to be unable to support it, let alone those ironclad troops.

Even among the tens of thousands of troops, the Ironclad Army had never suffered such heavy casualties, so the crisis that Zhao Chuan and they faced this time was unprecedentedly huge.

"Ahh

Suddenly, there was a commotion on the periphery of the masked man, followed by a group of people wearing silver fox masks rushing over, also numbering more than five hundred people.

The number of masked people killed and fallen at one time reached an astonishing number of more than 100 people.

Shangguan Yunxi saw Zhu Ningxin, who was entangled by the masked leader at a glance, and it was Zhao Chuan who was holding in Zhu Ningxin's arms.

"Keng!" Zhu Ningxin held the sword in one hand to block the last sword of the masked man leader, and then the long sword flew out of his hand, and the whole person flew out sideways.

Zhao Chuan naturally fell off and rolled on the ground, and when the masked leader saw it, he immediately gave up Zhu Ningxin, and instead chose to kill Zhao Chuan, who was fainting.

"Die!" The masked leader's long knife fell instantly, but his face suddenly changed, and Shangguan Yunxi suddenly attacked to block the sword.

The leader of the masked man immediately shouted: "Who is Your Excellency, do you want to offend the Mosen Kingdom?"

Shangguan Yunxi sneered and said: "Hehe, it's just a Mosen country, and it's not in the eyes of my aunt and grandmother, but you vicious guy, let's die first!"

The masked man's leader's whole body breathed up, and the long knife swept back to Shangguan Yunxi.

The moment the sword touched, Shangguan Yunxi turned into a palm with one hand and slapped it on the chest of the masked leader: "Charge the fire Xuan Palm!"

"Bang!" the slap struck the masked leader, who was slapped to the ground, clutching his chest and turning red.

"It's hot, it's hot...... Are you from the Lost Ridge Sect?" the masked leader did not forget to identify.

Shangguan Yunxi sealed his throat with a sword, so that the masked leader did not die in such a painful moment.

After the help of the disciples of the Misty Ridge Sect, coupled with the efforts of Wen Teng and the others to fight back, soon the leaderless masked people of the group were defeated, leaving more than 400 lives, and only more than 100 escaped.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Zhu Ning's eyes were extremely complicated.

Especially Zhao Chuan, who is still unconscious under the care of Wen Teng and others, he was poisoned because he saved Zhu Ning's heart.

Of course, Zhu Ningxin didn't feel good in his heart, but he blamed himself very much, blaming himself for how to take it lightly at the critical moment.

However, at this moment, Zhu Ningxin's opinion of Zhao Chuan also changed unconsciously, and she was surprised that Zhao Chuan would not hesitate to save her life.

In her impression, Zhao Chuan has always been greedy for life and afraid of death.
