Destiny is ashes

Chapter 352 Mysterious Warrior (33)

"In that case...there's no need to rush."

An Jing frowned slightly, and said calmly: "Linjiang City is blocked by the beast tide. Theoretically, it urgently needs heroes like you to transport food and medicine."

"But you were attacked by monsters. I think the appearance of those monsters was not a coincidence, but a deliberate attack."

Knocking on the table, An Jing asked in a deep voice: "Captain Xu, are you sure that the cargo you are escorting is really only food and nothing else?"

"I……"

Xu Tai wanted to say "sure", because he had personally examined every box of disaster relief food and confirmed that there was no shortage of weight or adulteration with sand or gravel, and that they were all high-quality rice and good medicine.

But when An Jing asked him this, he became suspicious: "Could it be that I really transported some extraordinary goods without knowing it?"

If not, there is no way to explain why the monsters attacked them!

“It’s very simple to figure this out.”

An Jing finished drinking the hot water, put down the teacup, stood up and said, "Come with me to the place where you were attacked to see the situation - I killed all the monsters. They chased you all the way, so they definitely didn't have time to harm the goods."

"If there is someone behind them, and they want to take away the rare items you are transporting without your knowledge, then the goods you are escorting must have been inspected or even taken away. In this way, you can confirm the existence of the other party."

"If there is no one behind it and it is just a pure coincidence, then we can come back and call people to deliver these goods to Linjiang City. It can be considered as completing the mission, but there will be some twists and turns in the middle."

"No way."

Hearing this, Xu Tai shook his head violently. He said carefully, "If someone really drove the monsters to attack us... then it must be a real demon sect, or a madman who is secretly studying the magic techniques!"

"If we go back to investigate, we will be ambushed!"

"I know."

And An Jing was calm and composed: "I'm afraid they won't ambush me."

"Besides... I am not a reckless person. How could I just walk over there like that?"

Having said this, An Jing took out the drone from the Taixu magic weapon.

Since Fu Xie said that the existence of such monsters was not normal, An Jing believed that there must be someone behind them.

Either it's the real demon sect, or it's...

An Jing narrowed his eyes. He thought of the Xuanjia Guards who cooperated with the Heavenly Demon in Kanming City, and the Taiming Sect which his master Ming Guangchen mentioned was likely to have an unclear relationship with the Heavenly Demon.

——In this shitty world of Huaixu...there are really many forces cooperating with the devil.

"The art of puppet suppression. It turns out that the young man had a plan in advance. It seems that I was too cautious."

Xu Tai was not surprised to see An Jing take something out of thin air.

As a disciple of Shenzang Zhenren and a divine life, it was only natural for An Jing to have the Taixu magic weapon. However, he was quite surprised by the strange iron kite in the other party's hand: "This magic weapon looks really exquisite. Does the Mingjing Sect have such skills?"

"Yes."

With Ming Guangchen and Ming Jingzong as his backers, An Jing no longer needs to be timid and afraid to use his many methods. After adjusting the data and status of the drone, he released it.

Shimen Town is not far from where Xu Tai and others were attacked. An Jing specially bought a drone from the "Beixia Company" in Tianyuan Realm some time ago. It is a high-speed, light-equipped reconnaissance aircraft with infrared radiation detection capabilities and simple optical stealth.

The drone took the lead, with An Jing and Xu Tai following far behind.

"what."

After a while, An Jing laughed: "Sure enough."

Through the drone goggles, the convoy that the Hanlang Escort Agency was forced to abandon due to the attack was in a mess, and all the food and medicine had been taken away, leaving nothing behind.

Behind the snow pile not far away, from the perspective of Shimen Town, a group of warriors in white clothes were hiding in the snow.

They concealed their bodies, hid their breath, and even the heat of their life waves was weakened to the level of a small beast. If they were not masters of martial arts, ordinary strong warriors would never be able to discover them.

But who can blame An Jing for having high technology? Not to mention that they didn't completely hide their heat, even if they lowered their body temperature to a level colder than ice and snow, An Jing could tell from the contour of the thermal imaging that there was an ambush here.

"There are indeed people."

An Jing put down his glasses, stood up under Xu Tai's shocked gaze, and walked out openly with the Ba Hai Knife in his hand.

"Boss, someone really came back to check on the situation!"

Behind the snow pile, the white-clothed warrior who was investigating whispered, "But he doesn't look like someone from the Hanlang Escort Agency. He's a young man, walking over here openly!" "A person?" The thin warrior in the lead raised his eyebrows and said, "A young man?"

"Yes."

"This 'Yinuo Qianjin' is not a decent person. He even tricked the kid to come here to investigate the situation."

"Kill?"

"Kill them." The skinny warrior said fiercely, "I originally wanted to see if there were any hidden forces behind these people, but now it seems that there are none."

"After killing this kid, we will destroy the Hanlang Escort Agency. We can't let these people..."

"head!"

The investigating warrior suddenly shouted, startling the skinny warrior, who then looked angry. But then, the investigating warrior's words startled him: "The young man ran away!"

"So fast! So fast!"

"what?"

Without even bothering to hide, the skinny warrior immediately stood up and looked forward.

Then, he saw a figure with a long sword in his hand running rapidly in the snow. His speed became faster and faster, until even the skinny warrior found it difficult to catch him.

"Fire arrows!"

At this moment, how could the skinny warrior not know that the young man in front of him was probably much stronger than he thought? Moreover, an inexplicable aura locked on him, making him realize with horror that the boy's path was unbiased and was heading straight for him!

But he had no fear, he just said coldly: "Kill him!"

After he finished speaking, the skinny warrior drew his sword and led the team to charge back towards An Jing!

Young men with outstanding strength are most likely inner disciples from some large sect who have come out to travel. They may be really good at martial arts and think they can fight against many people at the same time - but if they really encounter such a life-and-death fight, how can they be stronger than these ruthless people who love blood and blades?
At this moment, a large man in gray clothes rose up like a gust of wind, following closely behind the young man, like a tiger descending from the mountain, riding a fierce horse and splitting the rain of arrows. It was Xu Tai.

Seeing An Jing suddenly appear and charge into the battle formation, no matter how ridiculous Xu Tai thought it was, he could only charge in and protect An Jing's flank. Seeing this, the skinny warrior felt more at ease: "So he is relying on a promise, how ridiculous!"

As he ran, the blade of the long sword in his hand emitted an ominous dark blue light, and a pungent smell almost like mint emanated from it.

Xu Tai's power of fire and wood was just right to be overcome by the thin warrior's cold and poisonous aura, especially since he learned the swordsmanship from a senior master in the sect. With one slash of the sword, even a rock as high as a person would be split in half, and the cold poison would spread, and could even freeze the broken rock and crack it again!
"He is indeed a good man."

At this moment, An Jing also noticed Xu Tai's attack. He didn't need his help, but when he thought about it carefully, if he didn't use enough strength, he might not be able to leave the victim alive. If he deliberately restrained his strength, he wouldn't be able to attack at will, and he wouldn't be able to test his current level.

But now, since Xu Tai is dealing with several mysterious warriors, he can also let go and try his full strength.

"Double divine powers, Taibai Haoling's divine prohibition, plus Zhitianshi's acceleration...ha."

At this moment, when the distance between An Jing and the thin warrior was less than a hundred feet, An Jing raised his sword, with the blade facing forward, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

boom!
The skinny warrior heard a loud bang and saw a flash of silver light before his eyes. Then the magic sword in his hand that contained a chilling poison was shattered, and the blade fragments flew backwards and even embedded into his body.

Behind them, An Jing, with white mist rising from his body, had already sheathed his sword.

"you?!"

Completely unaware of what had just happened, the skinny warrior was filled with shock and anger. He was about to turn around and fight again, but at this moment, he suddenly felt his body tilting, the world spinning, and the earth approaching.

Then fell.

A bloody crack appeared on his chest, and the warrior's thick blood plasma gushed out, pushing the skinny warrior's upper body away and falling to the ground - he was going to say something, but his lungs were cut off horizontally and he could no longer utter a word.

On both sides of the skinny warrior, the other warriors who followed him in charging had no time to let out a shrill scream before blood marks appeared on their chests, waists, abdomens, and necks one after another, and then blood gushed out together.

There were a few warriors who didn't react in time and were still rushing towards Xu Tai. When their upper bodies and heads fell to the ground, their bodies were still twisted as they ran forward, and they collapsed to the ground after more than ten steps.

At this moment, Xu Tai, who had just chopped a white-clothed warrior to his knees with a sword, paused his movements, and the five white-clothed warriors who were fighting with him also paused. They stared in a daze at this scene that was beyond their imagination, and then let out extremely terrified and miserable screams.

"what!!!"

In an instant, all the surviving warriors in white resolutely abandoned their weapons and fled in all directions.

"Bring them all back."

An Jing turned around and calmly told Xu Tai, who was not sure whether she was horrified or shocked, "I'm not very good at keeping people alive."

"Leave a few people alone. I have something to ask."
