Chapter 14: The Roadblock

The middle-aged man who was called Brother Wang nodded and said nervously: "If you go back to the young master, I can't talk about knowing this person, but I saw it once when I traveled with the caravan." This person is called Xingshan Tiger, I don't know if it's his real name, or some other nickname. This person is the most famous bandit leader in Hutou Village in Jiuyang Mountain, when our emperor's fleet was transporting a batch of official salt to Beijing, passing by Jiuyang Mountain, just across a river, I have seen this Xingshan Tiger with a group of bandits in Hutou Village robbing a passing caravan there. These bandits were extremely ruthless, not only robbing the money, but also killing all the people of the caravan. Young master, I'm afraid we will be in a lot of trouble this time. ”

Hearing this, Di Tian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

That Jiuyang Mountain is hundreds of miles away from Qingzhou City, why did the Xingshan Tiger appear here with this gang of bandits from Hutou Village? Is it an accident? Or is there some conspiracy?

Di Tian faintly felt the smell of wind and rain coming, and his heart suddenly became more vigilant. Looking at the Xingshan Tiger who was walking towards him, Di Tian tried his best to keep his emotions very stable, and said, "The person who came is the master of the Xingshan Tiger of Jiuyang Mountain Hutou Village?"

When Xing Shanhu heard this, he didn't seem to expect that Emperor Tian would know him, so he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect the eldest young master of the Emperor family to know me and other mountains and grasses, which is really unexpected." ”

Di Tian arched his hand at him and complimented: "The head of the criminal law is famous in Jiuyang Mountain, and even in the entire Nanzhou, like thunder, how can you not know it." It's just that there is something unclear below, the master of the criminal university and the brothers of Hutou Village, usually not most of them make a living in the area of Jiuyang Mountain, how did they come to our Qingzhou City on this day. And it's the current situation, so blocking my way to wait, but what does it mean?"

His words were clearly compliments, but secretly they were pointing at the ill intentions of Xing Shanhu and others. The Xingshan Tiger naturally heard what Emperor Tian meant, and he didn't show any unusual expression, as if he didn't care about it: "The young master of the emperor said this is wrong, I wait for the mountains and wild grass to be reckless, I am the home of the four seas, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to draft, where is there a reason to fix it in a piece of land." Perhaps, as you just said, it is precisely because our recent statement has been too loud that in the area of Jiuyang Mountain, it is becoming more and more difficult to make a living today. There was no way, I had to take them outside to expand my livelihood. ”

Hearing him say so high-sounding, Di Tian couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, and at this time, looking at Xingshan Hu's expression, it gradually became cold. Because from the few simple conversations just now, Di Tian could almost conclude the intention of these people on this trip, and there was a good chance that they were coming for his own group.

There is only one question, their emperor's family had no grievances with this Hutou Village in the past, why did they run from Jiuyang Mountain to this Qingzhou City hundreds of miles away, just to stop their group?

At this time, Emperor Tian suddenly thought of some things that had happened recently, first the fleet of the Emperor family in Zhongshu City was set on fire by a group of unknown people, and then his father led people to go there for several days without any news. From this point of view, could it be that it was because Xing Shanhu and others had been intercepting this place that the news from Zhongshu City could not reach Qingzhou City again?!

Thinking of this, Di Tian couldn't help but worry about the safety of his father in Zhongshu City, his face suddenly became ugly, his eyes stared at Xingshan Hu, and he said in a cold tone: "We Mingren don't say secret words, the leader of the criminal university is here, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as an ordinary roadblock robbery, right? Please be blunt, what is the purpose of stopping my way here. ”

Hearing this, Xingshan Tiger smiled again, and when he looked at Emperor Tian with slightly squinted eyes, there was a faint hint of fierce light.

"It seems that the Emperor Young Master is also an understanding person, so I might as well speak up. I'm here for nothing else, but for you. Young Master Emperor, don't blame me, after all, we are just taking people's money and eliminating disasters with others. If you want to blame, blame the person who wants to deal with your emperor's family. ”

"Want to deal with the people of our emperor family?" Di Tian wrinkled his head, looked at Xingshan Hu and said, "Who are you talking about?"

Xing Shanhu smiled silently, but at this time, the group of subordinates beside him surrounded one after another, and the swords and soldiers in their hands were aimed at the group of the emperor's family in the field. Seeing that he didn't speak, Di Tian thought about it for a while, and then thought of some connections in this matter. He snorted coldly and said, "It was the people of the Fang family who asked you to do this, right?"

Although it can't be 100% certain, Di Tian can almost conclude that this matter has nothing to do with that Fang family.

Xing Shanhu said with a cruel smile: "Young Master Emperor, we just know each other about this matter, why bother to say it so bluntly." Although my Hutou Village and your emperor's family also want to have no grievances, but whoever makes us employed now, I don't need to say more about the Taoist ideals in it. Now, Young Master Emperor, there are two choices in front of you, either you can be caught or you ...... Hehe, that's a dead end!"

The emperor on the side looked at his arrogant appearance, and suddenly a wave of anger surged up.

"A bunch of thieves, with such a big mouth, I want to see what you are capable of. Emgrand roared.

At the same time, the five or six entourages on the emperor's side also drew their weapons one after another, and confronted the gang of bandits in Hutou Village with nervous expressions.

Xing Shanhu squinted his eyes, looked at the emperor carefully, and suddenly said: "Boy, who are you? Among these people in the emperor's family, you should be the strongest." It doesn't look very old, but he already has the strength of the late stage of the realm, no wonder he dares not to take our people from Hutou Village in his eyes. But it's a pity, although your kid's strength is not bad, but it's not in the eyes of my torture mountain tiger!"

As soon as he finished saying this, he heard Xing Shanhu suddenly shout, and suddenly a huge momentum came out of him.

The overwhelming momentum filled the entire field in an instant, and everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of indescribable depression. It was as if a boulder was pressing against his chest at this time, and it was a little difficult to breathe.

Seeing this, Di Tian secretly said that it was not good, although he failed to see the true strength of the Torture Mountain Tiger because of his lack of strength. However, judging from the hand that the Torture Mountain Tiger revealed at this time, I am afraid that this person's strength is far above that of the emperor. Even the subordinates around Xingshan Tiger seem to be dragon spirits and tigers, and they are obviously not easy characters to deal with.

These should be the elites of Hutou Village brought by Xingshan Tiger, right?

Emperor Tian secretly sweated in his heart, it seems that the mastermind behind the scenes really made a bloody effort to deal with their emperor family this time, and he could let a bandit leader like Xingshan Tiger go out with the elite in the village, do you really want to take this opportunity to destroy our emperor family in one fell swoop? !

Thinking of this, Di Tian suddenly became angry, although the strength of this Xingshan Tiger is strong, but there is also an unfathomable Xu Lao on his side, and Di Tian is not very afraid. It's just that thinking that his father is in Zhongshu City at this time, and he doesn't know what the situation is over there, Di Tian faintly feels a little uneasy.

It seems that the choice he insisted on this time was right, otherwise, their emperor family would have fallen into a huge trap laid by others, and they might still be unaware.

"The emperor, as well as the emperor's family, listened to the order and immediately formed a defensive formation. If these thieves don't know what to do, if they really want to come and find death, they will be killed!" Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, and the momentum of the whole person rose a little, as if they were not surrounded by people at this time. Instead, they are catching turtles in urns, ready to reap the final blow.

When Xing Shanhu saw this scene, he suddenly sneered again and again: "What a group of guys who don't know whether they are dead or alive! Brothers, take them down for me, whether they live or die!"

As soon as the words fell, the bandits in Hutou Village roared up one by one.

At this time, Emgrand suddenly stepped forward, protected his body in front of Ditian, his long sword in his hand, and stared intently at the gang of bandits who rushed over.

But I heard Di Tian say beside him: "Dihao, don't take care of me, except for the torture mountain tiger, the rest of these little thieves can't hurt me." You just need to take care of yourselves and don't get distracted. Although these bandits looked fierce, except for a few of them who had stepped into the range of cultivators, the rest were just some brute bravery. ”

Emgrand turned his head to look at him, as if he didn't react to the meaning of Ditian's words.

These bandits rushed over with a fierce look, and the young master even said that I should leave him alone? And listening to him, he seemed to be completely unafraid of these bandits. Didn't he just open a coffin, young master?

Emgrand didn't know that the reason why Ditian said this was not because he was too conceited.

Originally, Emperor Tian was a cultivator in his previous life, but after he was reincarnated in this Heavenly Evolution Continent, he had been unable to communicate with the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi due to his special physique, so he was unable to open a coffin and step into the path of a cultivator.

However, once Emperor Tian opened a coffin, he could officially use those Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi for his own use, and many of the exercises he had cultivated in his previous life could be used at this time. Therefore, even if those lethal moves cannot be used, some basic exercises of self-protection can indeed be used familiarly.

This is actually due to the profundity of the Emperor's Xuangong, and the fact that the vitality on the Heavenly Evolution Continent is far more abundant than on the earth, so that although Emperor Tian has only cultivated for less than a day after opening the flood wilderness, his current strength is much stronger than when he had just cultivated on the earth for three months in his previous life.

It can be said that among the bandits present, except for the Torture Mountain Tiger, who is already one or two powerhouses in the realm, Emperor Tian is not afraid of those bandits who have also opened a coffin. Seeing that Emgrand was obviously a little uneasy, Di Tian smiled and said: "Just rest assured to fight, but don't forget, we still have an old Xu in charge here, and you young master and I will be fine." ”

Hearing this, Emgrand suddenly reacted, yes, they still have Xu Lao in charge here.

Although for so many years, he had never seen Xu Lao make a move. But in the Imperial Mansion, there has always been a rumor that in the entire Imperial Mansion, the strongest person in terms of cultivation is undoubtedly Xu Lao. Although I don't know if this statement is empty, but for so long, under the indoctrination of this statement, most of the people in the imperial mansion have an understanding in their hearts. That is-Xu Lao is a hidden master!

Thinking like this, Emgrand couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, nodded at Ditian, and greeted the bandits opposite.

Emgrand has the strength of the late stage of the realm, although the first few bandits can be regarded as elites in Hutou Village, but in front of a real cultivator like Emgrand, it is undoubtedly not enough, just swept by his simple horizontal sword, and several people fell directly in a pool of blood.

Among those bandits, there were also one or two strong people who cultivated in the realm, and at this time, seeing that Emgrand was so fierce, they immediately roared angrily and pounced towards Emgrand.

Emgrand fought against the two of them without fear, and after a while, the three of them fell into a fierce battle.

The sword light staggered and sonorated.

Bursts of sword qi radiated from the battlefield of the three people, and the strong wind blew on Di Tian's face, and he couldn't help but feel a little faint pain.

Di Tian looked at the appearance of the emperor becoming more and more courageous, and couldn't help but nodded, this emperor usually seems to be a bit dull, but for the cultivation path, he really has an extraordinary talent. In total, he is only five or six years older than his current self, but he has already cultivated to the cultivation of the late stage of the earth realm, and he is only one step away from opening the second coffin and stepping into the realm of the human realm.

Looking at the other side, the other entourages of the emperor's family also fought with the bandits of Hutou Village at this time.

Because in addition to the torture mountain tiger still standing still, the two most powerful of the bandits have been restrained by the emperor to a person, so at this time, the entourage of the emperor family is not very stressful in the face of the rest of these bandits.

These people are all selected by the emperor from the guards of the imperial palace, and each of them has the strength to open a coffin, although compared to those thieves who lick blood on the knife all year round, they are a little less awe-inspiring and murderous, but the kung fu under his hands has not fallen behind.

Di Tian watched them fight fiercely for a moment, and suddenly felt an itch in his hands.

Seriously speaking, since he arrived in this Tianyan Continent for more than ten years, because he has been unable to cultivate, he usually hasn't had much chance to fight with others. Even if you fight, it's just fighting against people who haven't opened a coffin and can't use their vitality. But at this time, seeing that the opportunity was rare, he finally managed to get out of the wilderness, and he could be regarded as accumulating some vitality in his body. Di Tian suddenly wanted to take this opportunity to practice his hands, just to familiarize himself with the feeling of this long-lost cultivator.

Just thinking about this, at this time, there was a bandit minion who broke through the defense line of the emperor's entourage, and seeing Emperor Tian standing in front of the carriage without moving, that guy suddenly showed a hideous smile on his face, raised the steel knife in his hand and slashed down on Emperor Tian's body.

Di Tian looked at him with a smug face, as if in that guy's eyes, he was already a dead man. Di Tian suddenly felt ridiculous in his heart, and at this time, in his opinion, this bandit was full of flaws when he made a move. In the face of his attack, Di Tian didn't even move half a step, just watched as the steel knife gradually fell.

Just when the steel knife was about to fall on Di Tian's body, the bandit suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and then he was horrified to see that at this time, in front of him, there was a somewhat delicate, but a somewhat evil smiling face was gradually enlarged in front of his eyes.

Immediately after, he saw a huge fist fly towards him, and then he felt his head buzz and lost consciousness.

Di Tian cleaned up the bandit who broke through with a single punch, and suddenly felt a surge of blood in his heart, and that belligerent thought instantly filled his mind. couldn't help but rush into the battlefield and fight with the entourage of the emperor family.

At this time, after he saw that Emperor Tian entered the battlefield, the entourage of the Emperor family suddenly seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and suddenly became very excited, and the more they fought, the more brave they became, and their subordinates were about to be unable to hold on.

Xing Shanhu suddenly felt a burst of anger in his heart, he had originally heard that the eldest young master of the emperor family was just a waste who couldn't even open a coffin, but what he saw at this time was completely different.

"This bastard surnamed Fang, didn't he say that the people of the Emperor family were all wasted? This has just come out of a kid with the late stage of the realm, and the young master of the Emperor here, who has always been called a waste, has suddenly become extraordinary. ”

Xing Shanhu cursed hatefully, and then saw his eyes cold, and he looked at the emperor who was fighting two realm masters at the same time. In Xing Shanhu's opinion, among the people in the field at this time, the only one who may pose a little threat to him is undoubtedly this kid.

I only heard Xingshan Tiger suddenly shout angrily, and then I saw his figure flash, and he came to Emgrand's side in the blink of an eye.

Emgrand was in the midst of a battle with the two bandits, when he suddenly felt a loud wind behind him, and a dangerous aura was coming. didn't bother to turn back at the moment, and almost subconsciously rolled on the spot and turned over from the side. When I came back to my senses, I suddenly saw that where I was standing before, a deep pit had appeared on the ground.

"Xingshan Tiger!"
