Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 482 Xu Qing, the Groundhog

"problem occurs!"

Zhu Ju's powerful primordial spirit granted him the profound perception of "the cicada sensing the autumn wind before it stirs."

Although he didn't know what had happened in the mine, his intuition told him that something had changed.

"Oh no!"

"There's...there's an ambush!"

A miner covered in dust stumbled out of the mine.

His face showed fear, and he pointed behind him:
“A group of people ambushed in the mine and suddenly attacked, killing many of the guards.”

"what?"

Zhang, the head guard, changed his expression, stepped forward, and shouted angrily:

"who is it?"

"They are so brave!"

This mine is owned by the Zhou family, and they have many martial arts experts accompanying them.

He was actually ambushed and assassinated?

"I...I don't know." The miner shook his head repeatedly, looking flustered.
"They suddenly appeared, and it was too dark inside to see anything clearly."

"Hmm..." Zhu Ju squinted and asked slowly:

Have you ever experienced a similar attack before?

"No." The miner was taken aback.
"Sometimes we encounter people hiding in the mines, but they will stay far away from us."

"Then they're coming for us." Zhu Ju stroked his chin.

"interesting."

He glanced back at the remaining guards of the Zhu family, his eyes flickering slightly.

The guards who came this time were all elites. Not only was there Zhang, a master of the eighth rank, but there were also two of the ninth rank.

The key is.

Zhou Ruxuan brought ten repeating crossbows from the Zhou family, each with enough power to pierce through metal and stone within ten zhang (approximately 33 meters).

Even if a seventh-rank expert came, once he was entangled by others, he could be riddled with bullets.

Although a seventh-rank cultivator is powerful, they are still just a mortal being.

This force is quite formidable even within the entire Taiyuan Prefecture.

Mine tunnels...

How dare someone lay a hand on them?
"Zhang, the head nurse."

"exist."

"You come in with me, the rest of you stay here."

"……Yes."

Zhang, the head of the guard, opened his mouth, intending to persuade Zhu Ju to stay, but then he thought that his young master was already capable of fighting an eighth-rank official a few years ago, and must be even stronger now, so he simply shut his mouth.

"you."

Zhu Juyi pointed to the escaped miners:

"To give directions."

"Yes."

The miner, trembling, turned around and walked back along the path he had come from into the depths of the mine.

Zhang, the guard, took a torch from the wall, lit it, and held it high as a means of illumination.

soon.

A series of hurried footsteps came from below, and two small, thin figures appeared in front.

"Master!"

"Uncle Zhang."

"It's you two." Zhang, the head guard, looked at the disheveled Yang Yi and Qian Hu with surprise.
"Where are the others?"

"Dead." Qian Hu's eyes were red, and he sniffed.
"All dead!"

"A group of people suddenly appeared out of nowhere and attacked us. They were very strong. If... I would have been killed too."

"Let's go." Zhu Ju waved his hand, gesturing for the two to follow behind.

"Keep leading the way."

"Yes."

The miner lowered his head and led the four men onward.

After years of development, the surrounding veins of the mine have long since lost their mining value, while the deeper parts are dark and damp. Living in such a place for many years would inevitably lead to certain ailments.

longevity?

It's even more impossible.

I turned left and right, and walked for who knows how far.

"clatter……"

Zhu Ju stopped at the intersection of several mine tunnels, looked around, and then looked at the miners:

"How far is it?"

"Soon." The miner pointed ahead:
"almost there."

"No need," Zhu Ju chuckled.
"That's enough."

Ok?
The miner was taken aback, and then saw Zhu Ju wave his sleeve lightly, the seemingly slow movement carrying immense power.

"Peng!"

The sleeve landed on the miner, unleashing tremendous force that sent him flying off the ground, spitting blood as he landed in a corner.

His body trembled after landing, and he immediately lost all life.

"Master!"

Zhang, the head nurse, looked puzzled.

Yang Yi and Qian Hu were horrified, and subconsciously took a step back, their bodies tense as they stared at Zhu Ju.

Just then, "Smack!"

"Clap!"

A series of crisp applause rang out from the darkness, and figures slowly walked out, surrounding the four people in the room.

"Zhu Ju?"

A man walked out slowly, his shadowy features shifting in the torchlight, and he grinned:

"You're not quite what others say."

"Your Excellency..." Zhu Ju frowned:
"He looks somewhat familiar."

He must have never met the other person, otherwise he would never have forgotten them in his memory.

But somehow, he seemed vaguely familiar.

"Xu Qing, the Earth Rat!" Zhang Huyuan shouted in a hoarse voice.

"A seventh-rank master wanted by the three prefectures, a notorious thief, what are you doing here?"

Zhu Ju raised an eyebrow.

No wonder he looked familiar; I must have glanced at him on the wanted list in the prefectural city.

"hey-hey……"

Xu Qing, the Earth Rat, chuckled upon hearing this:

"Since you know my name, you should know that this kind of place is most suitable for me, Xu."

"The network of tunnels is so extensive that even a thousand constables couldn't get in. Is there any better place in the three prefectures than this?"

"Xu Qing," Zhu Ju began.
"Zhu seems to have never offended you, so why did you kill my guard and bring Zhu here?"

The miner we just saw was one of their men.

The miner concealed it well, but his pounding heart and rapid breathing gave him away.

"no way."

Xu Qing shrugged:

"Entrusted by others."

"Oh!" Zhu Ju frowned:
"Who?"

Although he hasn't completely stayed indoors all these years, he has indeed had very little contact with outsiders.

Even if there is.

It is also about being kind to others.

It shouldn't be enough to offend any important figures.

"Xu always follows the rules; why would he betray his buyer?" Xu Qing grinned.

"Young Master Zhu, would you like to end this yourself for a quick death, or should I, Xu, do it myself?"

"Young Master." The head guard's face darkened, and he drew his sword, standing protectively in front of him.

"I'll hold him off, you go quickly."

Qian Hu also let out a low roar, and something seemed to wriggle in the shadows behind him, unleashing a chilling aura.

Only Yang Yi, his eyes flickering, quietly took a step back.

The newcomer is a seventh-rank expert!

Moreover, he was a renowned seventh-rank bandit in the three prefectures, and his strength was quite extraordinary for a seventh-rank bandit.

Our four-person team is simply no match for them.

What's more.

Xu Qing was not alone; there were more than ten bandits around him, including several martial artists of the first rank.

"Did not say?"

Zhu Ju gently shook his head:

"You will tell."

"call……"

Before he finished speaking, a gust of hot air suddenly swept through the room, instantly dispelling the cold and damp atmosphere.

The primordial yang energy is complete!
The most intense and yang energy is precisely the nemesis of this kind of environment.

"Crack!"

The rocks beneath Zhu Ju's feet were cracked, with mottled cracks and clear textures, as if they had been scorched by high temperatures.

Ok?
Xu Qing's eyes twitched, his skin tensed instantly, and an absurd sense of crisis rose in his heart.

It's absurd.

A mere eighth-rank lower-level...

"Shh!"

Zhu Ju suddenly appeared in front of him from several meters away, his aura as imposing as a mountain surged so violently that everyone in the room felt breathless and their bodies went limp.

"Squeak..."

Xu Qing's eyes widened, he made a strange squeaking sound, and the hair on his body suddenly trembled.

A hazy, yellowish aura burst forth from Zhu Ju's nostrils, instantly enveloping him.

Taking advantage of the brief moment, he nimbly turned around, and a shovel-like object appeared in his hand, which he then slashed forward.

The martial arts cultivation of the seventh rank stirred up a gust of wind in the air, the sound of it tearing through the air was like the howling of ghosts and wolves, making people's blood and qi restless.

"Half-demon?"

"Illusion?"

"Dual cultivation of magic and martial arts!"

Despite being interrupted by a series of attacks, Zhu Ju's voice remained calm and unhurried. Only a large hand, ignoring the dim light, reached out and grabbed Xu Qing's wrist with seemingly slow but actually swift movements, gently twisting it.

"Crack!"

The sound of bones breaking rang out.
