A fat man with a box on his back like a vendor came from behind.

"Little brother, go to the right, the one on the right is the way down the mountain. The fat man gasped as he spoke, and seemed to be unable to crawl a little.

Yan Fang was stunned for a moment, a little hesitant, but in the end he followed the fat man onto the rugged path on the right.

"Little brother, are you going to Cangnan County?" the fat man walked in front and brushed aside the branches that stood in the way on both sides of the mountain road.

"Yes. ”

"Coincidentally, my home is in Cangnan County, and the two of us just happened to be all the way. ”

"Brother, do you come to Yuezhou City to do business in this dress?"

"Yes, I'm in the medicinal herb business. ”

"Little brother, what about you, what are you doing in Cangnan County?" the fat man asked seemingly unintentionally.

"I... I went to see relatives. Yan Fang hesitated a little and didn't tell the truth.

...

The fat man struggled to pull away the branches on both sides, and at the same time, he kept getting close to Yan Fang.

Looking at the narrower and narrower mountain road in front of him, Yan Fang faintly felt that something was wrong, and the middle-aged fat man in front of him was a little too enthusiastic.

There is another detail that makes Yan Fang more convinced of his inner judgment: when he first met this fat man, Yan Fang noticed that he had been gasping for breath, as if he couldn't walk anymore, and now that he had walked a long mountain road, he didn't look so tired, and his steps were very steady.

"If he was pretending, then why did he lead himself down the right path?... Is it a robber?"

Yan Fang guessed the true identity of the middle-aged fat man in front of him, and was a little uneasy when he thought that he was likely to be a robber, but when he thought about it, he had the cultivation of the fifth layer of condensation, or the cultivation of heaven and earth Yuan Force, although he had no experience in actual combat, it was definitely more than enough to deal with ordinary little thieves, and he was relieved again.

...

There are more and more branches blocking the road on both sides of the mountain road, and the road that can be walked is getting narrower and narrower, the fat man walking in front suddenly stopped, turned his head and said to Yan Fang: "Little brother, there are too many branches blocking the road in front, I brought a firewood knife and cut down these branches, let's go over." ”

As he spoke, he took off the box on his back and squatted down, as if to open the box and take out the knife...

But the "click" sound did not come as expected when the box was opened.

Instead, there was a burst of cracking.

The fat man, who had always had a standard smile of Maitreya Buddha on his face, suddenly showed a fierce light on his face, and smashed the wooden box in his hand fiercely, the speed was very fast, and he could vaguely see a little spark produced by the friction between the box and the air.

If it is an unprepared ordinary person, it will definitely not be able to avoid this blow.

But Yan Fang has a cultivation in his body, and his sense of the Yuan Force of Heaven and Earth is extremely keen, and he sensed the arrival of danger one step in advance, and his right hand clenched his palm into a fist, and he swung it out with lightning speed.

Between the lightning and flint, the box was smashed to pieces.

Before the fat man could show a shocked expression, he was swept by Yan Fang's flying leg, and his fat body flew out, like a human cannonball, hitting the branch in front of him. For a while, the "rustle" of falling leaves was endless.

Yan Fang stared coldly at the fat man who fell to the ground in pain*, and came up with another kick, which completely knocked him out, and turned around to return to the fork in the road before. But there was an inexplicable nameless evil fire in his heart, and the burning was uncomfortable, so he simply became a villain and robbed all the property on the fat man.

"This fat man has a lot of silver with him, I don't know if he just grabbed it. Yan Fang muttered about the money bag in his hand, and then suddenly felt phlegm stuck in his throat, so he turned around and spat at the fat man who had passed out.

...

"Help"

Just as he raised his feet to leave, there was a sudden cry of help in the woods, and the voice was very immature, like a child's voice.

Yan Fang was a little unable to take a step, and after hesitating for a moment, he decided to take a look.

"Poof"

Yan Fang jumped up, climbed onto the rock beside him, and walked in the direction where the voice came from.

...

Yan Fang walked through the forest, and it didn't take long to see a wooden house not far away, which was a little simple, as if it had been built temporarily.

Around the wooden house stood two middle-aged men with knives in their hands, who looked like bandits and robbers.

Yan Fang probably guessed what happened, and most of the robbers in front of him were kidnapping and kidnapping the son of a wealthy family and extorting money.

Yan Fang slowly moved in the direction of the wooden house, preparing to knock the two kidnappers down and rescue the child while they were defenseless.

"Click"

At this moment, the door of the wooden house suddenly opened, and out of it came a thin old man who said something to the two kidnappers outside the house.

Yan Fang carefully stared at the thin old man who had just come out of the wooden house, a little surprised, this old man he knew, it was the Wu Xinggui Wu Elder of the Canghe faction, and now it is said that he has betrayed the Canghe faction, and is wanted by the people of the Canghe faction, but he didn't expect to hide on Cangnan Mountain and become a kidnapper. The Canghe Heart Sutra on his body was stolen from this old pervert.

"Boom"

When he met Wu Xinggui again, he was still in this kind of place, and Yan Fang, who was surprised in his heart, unconsciously pushed his left hand on an ancient tree beside him, and he used too much force, shaking off a lot of leaves.

Wu Xinggui, who was discussing how to negotiate with the family of the kidnapped child in front of the wooden house, noticed an abnormality not far away.

Wu Xinggui, who had the highest cultivation among the three, stared at the forest where Yan Fang was located, and shouted, "Who? ”

Hearing Wu Xinggui's cold voice, Yan Fang was a little flustered, but he immediately calmed down

"Now that he was discovered, he simply went out to fight. Yan Fang meditated in his heart.

...

looked at the cloth-robed boy who slowly walked out of the forest.

Wu Xinggui let go of some suspense, he didn't recognize Yan Fang, after all, he only took a picture in Cuiming Mansion at the beginning, and as a master of the rivers and lakes, he would not pay attention to a small guy in a brothel. In his eyes, this is just a peasant boy who got lost in Cangnan Mountain and strayed into this old forest.

The skinny old man looked like an old white crab and winked at his shorter accomplice.

The middle-aged kidnapper, who was dark and short, smiled as sinister as Yan Fang approached, patting the ghost head knife in his hand as he walked, and his ugly face was reflected on the bright big knife, looking like he was eating the "peasant boy" in front of him.

Yan Fang was silent, and when the short kidnapper approached, he rushed to the opponent with an arrow step, and before the kidnapper in front of him could react, he kicked the ghost head knife in his hand away, and then another hand knife hit the neck, and three strokes and five divisions by two to solve a kidnapper.

Wu Xinggui was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the skills of this unattractive and plainly dressed young man in front of him were still good, and he said coldly: "Fat Chen is also planted in your hands." ”

It turned out that the fat man who had just disguised himself as a trader and attacked Yan Fang was also Wu Xinggui's gang, and he was specifically responsible for luring the travelers who passed by who seemed to be no threat and had a lot of entanglements on them to the right road, and then committed murder and robbery.

Yan Fang didn't speak, just stared coldly at the ruthless thin old man in front of him.

Seeing this, Wu Xinggui snorted coldly, turned his hands into claws, and pounced towards Yan Fang.

He used to be an elder of the Canghe faction, and he was also considered the number one master in the rivers and lakes, but now although he has defected from the sect, the cultivation of the sixth layer of condensation qi is still there, and he didn't put the young man in front of him in his eyes at all, in his opinion, although the young man in front of him has some cultivation, he will not be his opponent, and he can just defeat his subordinates, and it is only because this temporary bandit is too wasteful.

Yan Fang dodged, dodged Wu Xinggui's direct claw, and punched back, but the thin old man in front of him was experienced, and his shot was vicious, and after easily avoiding it, it was a dozen or so claws in a row, and the move went straight to the vital point, Yan Fang was suddenly in danger, busy dodging, and had no chance to fight back.

...

It stands to reason that although Yan Fang is the fifth layer of condensation qi, what can be cultivated is the Yuan Force of Heaven and Earth, and it is better than the higher level of cultivation that can be practiced by Wu Xinggui, who is the true qi, and it is also between the two in the poor, but why is Yan Fang in a weak position now?

In fact, it is still a matter of fighting experience, under the premise of the same realm, many cultivators who have been in retreat in the sect for many years are not opponents of their fellow practitioners who are fighting at the border pass, because of the gap in fighting experience.

...

It was another vicious claw, straight to Yan Fang's throat, Yan Fang was just about to dodge, but the left foot that was just about to move accidentally stepped on a mountain rock, the sole of his foot slipped, and he couldn't avoid this fatal blow in time, seeing that Wu Xinggui's fingers were about to touch Yan Fang's neck.

A purple-gold light suddenly erupted from Yan Fang's body.

....
