Chapter 510: The Robbery is Filled with True Dead Dragons
Chapter 510: The Robbery is Filled with True Dead Dragons
"Chief Escort!"
Tie Kai Cheng was the chief escort of the Red Flag Escort Bureau, so he could easily find his own escort team.
"What's the situation with this escort mission?"
"Reporting to the chief escort, this mission is an escort for the White Moon Hall of Jiangnan, with a value of 100,000 taels of silver for the precious medicinal herbs from the northern region. The escort team consists of Wang Escort, He Escort, Lu Escort, Zhang Escort, and Zhuge Escort from the Eighth Branch."
Tie Kai Cheng nodded, his gaze sweeping over the few escorts who came to greet him. "I heard that the Three Knives of Withered Cow Mountain have already descended, targeting this escort mission."
The escorts' eyes narrowed, clearly aware of the Three Knives' notoriety.
However, they relaxed soon after, "Even if the Three Knives of Withered Cow Mountain are formidable, with the chief escort personally present, wouldn't they be courting death if they came?"
The escorts arranged a carriage for Tie Kai Cheng, and he boarded it with Sun Xingyu.
According to the original storyline, Xie Xiao Feng should have been arranged by Murong Qiudi to fight with Hua Yu Kun, then rescue the child, causing him to fall out with his younger brother, and subsequently leave. After that, he would have encountered the Red Flag Escort Bureau.
However, Tie Kai Cheng had already sent the child away in advance. Based on his information, Hua Yu Kun had not gone to Jiangnan, and Xie Xiao Feng had not returned after leaving Tongcheng.
Therefore, Tie Kai Cheng was unsure of Murong Qiudi's next move. He only knew that the Three Knives of Withered Cow Mountain were about to target the Red Flag Escort Bureau, and he had to handle it first.
Tie Kai Cheng couldn't help but sigh.
Sun Xingyu asked, "What are you sighing about?"
Tie Kai Cheng replied, "My original intention was just to observe from the sidelines, but this time, my identity is not very good, resulting in too many responsibilities. I have to personally intervene and wait for changes."
Sun Xingyu didn't quite understand. She sensed Tie Kai Cheng's wicked sense of humor, but what did "not very good identity" mean? The Heavenly Venerate was targeting the Red Flag Escort Bureau, which had no relation to him.
"If the younger brother is Xie Xiao Feng's son, and Xie Xiao Feng saved the younger brother and chased after him, wouldn't he have encountered Murong Qiudi?" Sun Xingyu asked.
"Of course," Tie Kai Cheng nodded.
"Murong Qiudi sent the Heavenly Venerate's assassin to kill Xie Xiao Feng, yet she still dares to appear in front of Xie Xiao Feng. Isn't she afraid of Xie Xiao Feng killing her?" Sun Xingyu asked.
"Do you think Xie Xiao Feng would kill her?" Tie Kai Cheng asked.
Sun Xingyu thought about Xie Xiao Feng's state and could only shake her head in confusion, "I don't understand what Xie Xiao Feng is thinking."
"Of course, you don't understand," Tie Kai Cheng said. "Because his brain is sick. If you could understand, what would that represent?"
Sun Xingyu couldn't help but laugh, "It would mean my brain is also sick?"
Tie Kai Cheng asked, "Is your brain sick?"
Sun Xingyu laughed, "My brain is definitely not sick!"
Tie Kai Cheng smiled but said nothing. A woman who was abandoned by Xie Xiao Feng, disfigured herself, and lived in seclusion for 15 years would only think her brain was not sick.
"The relationships between Xie Xiao Feng, Mao Da Mr., and Murong Qiudi are so strange!" Sun Xingyu exclaimed. "Xie Xiao Feng slept with Mao Da Mr.'s fiancee, but Mao Da Mr. wants to thank him. Murong Qiudi wants to kill Xie Xiao Feng, but Xie Xiao Feng seems to still love her."
Sun Xingyu shook her head, "What kind of messy relationships are these?"
Sun Xingyu paused, knowing she had to persist with the lie she had told, and gritted her teeth as she said, "He's the one with a sick mind!"
Iron Kai Cheng acknowledged this with a nod, thinking that the Demon Sect Leader's willingness to don a hat in the original story was a sign of a deranged mind.
Sun Xingyu wrapped her arms around Iron Kai Cheng's arm, her eyes misty and pitiful, and asked, "Can you bear to see me captured and imprisoned again, never to serve you again?"
Iron Kai Cheng's eyebrows arched, "That depends on how you perform."
Sun Xingyu giggled and moved to take off Iron Kai Cheng's shoes, but he stopped her, "There's no hurry. Let's deal with the people outside the forest first."
As his words fell, a classic, sinister laugh echoed in the ears of the escort team.
"Hehehe..."
"Choke! Choke! Choke!"
The sound of swords being unsheathed and blades being drawn rose, and several escorts and runners instantly surrounded the escort carriage, scanning their surroundings.
Wang, the head escort, had eyes like an eagle, and he fixed his gaze on one direction, "Is it the Three Knives of Withered Cow Mountain? I've long heard of the infamous Yin Feng Knife, You Ming Knife, and Ghost King Knife. The three of them have been a formidable force in the martial arts world for over a decade, yet they're hiding their identities now?"
"Tsk tsk, you escorts sure know how to talk."
"We're hiding our identities? We're just afraid that if we show our full strength, we'll scare you!"
"Since Head Escort Wang has invited us so warmly, let's send all of you to the afterlife together!"
In the next moment, three figures leaped down from the trees surrounding the escort team, their clothes billowing and knives flashing.
In the dappled light of the forest, they moved like ghosts, their knives carrying a chilling wind. The light and agile movements of these three, along with their knife skills, were clearly extraordinary and far above average, at least on par with the Black Killing Nine-Man Group, and definitely superior to the escorts of the Red Flag Escort Bureau.
Wang, the head escort, drew his Tiger Head Hook from his waist and glared at the leader of the three, "I'll take on Yin Feng Knife. You three, stop You Ming Knife and Ghost King Knife!"
The remaining four escorts responded in unison, and their Single Knife, Chain Spear, Emei Spike, and Eyebrow Stick moved to engage the enemies.
Of course, they were aware that Iron Kai Cheng was in the carriage behind them, and these Three Knives were not a significant threat. However, they couldn't just lie down and do nothing, waiting for Iron Kai Cheng to solve the problem.
They were battle-hardened escorts of the Red Flag Escort Bureau, and they had faced formidable opponents before!
But it was clear that they were no match for the Three Knives of Withered Cow Mountain. The escorts were forced to retreat step by step, and if not for their rich experience, they might have been injured already.
Just as Iron Kai Cheng was about to lift the carriage curtain and take action, he suddenly looked back in the direction from which the escort team had come.
In the next moment, a figure appeared on the road the escort team had traveled, letting out a long laugh. Then, a sword cry rang out, and a person and a sword, like lightning, charged into the fray.
"I've long wanted to find the Three Knives of Withered Cow Mountain!"
"It's you!"
A startled cry rang out, followed by the flashing of a sword light. In just a few moves, Wang, the head escort, saw Yin Feng Knife fall to the ground with a fatal wound to the chest.
"Thank you for your help. May I ask your esteemed name?" Wang, the head escort, inquired.
"Mo Feiyan!"
"Could it be that you are Mo Feiyan, the leader of the top ten swordsmen of Jiangnan, the Cloud and Rain Flying Smoke?"
