Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 177 Assassin Attack
Fan Xian, who was fishing, also noticed that someone was watching him in the dark. After touching the dagger at his waist, he turned to look at Wang Qinian, who was standing next to him.

"Pharaoh!"

Fan Xian said in a low voice, "There are people watching us from behind. I wonder how many there are?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qinian's ears twitched slightly, and he instantly spotted the group of people hidden in the dense forest.

"There are quite a few people!"

Wang Qinian said in a low voice, "Although our strength is low, there aren't many capable fighters in the delegation. The Third Prince, Shi Chanli, and the two ladies don't know martial arts, and Young Master Leng is still on the ship. We're in big trouble!"

Fan Xian's eyes darted around after hearing this, and he quickly said, "You're fast, hurry up and send me my sword. That way it will be easier for me to deal with them."

After saying that, Wang Qinian put down his fishing rod and deliberately said loudly, "Sir, you can fish first. I brought some special bait with me when I came out, I'll go back and get some."

Fan Xian understood and quickly said, "Then hurry up, or the meat will be cooked before you bring the bait."

"Hey, my legs are super fast. It'll only take a little while."

The two of them worked together to get Wang Qinian onto the ship.

Lin Wan'er, who was directing the servants to set the table, noticed something was amiss when she saw the two of them.

But before she could take any action, a series of whooshing sounds rang out.

Everyone was startled by the sound, and saw rows of sharp arrows flying out of the forest, heading straight for them.

"Get down!"

Fan Xian roared, and at the same time, a golden aura flew out, protecting everyone inside. The arrows that hit the aura broke and fell to the ground.

"They even dare to attack government ships; they're truly courting death."

Leng Feibai's voice suddenly rang out, and he appeared at the very front of the crowd.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Leng Feibai suddenly appear.

Then Leng Feibai released the Vajra Qi Shield, raised his hand and waved it, and more than a dozen Nine Yang Small Thunderbolts flew out like rockets, all of them falling into the woods behind him.

"what"

Screams echoed through the forest one after another. Upon seeing this, Li Chengping hid behind Wang Qinian, who had just come down from the boat, and said, "Uncle-Master's methods are still so ruthless, it's terrifying!"

Wang Qinian nodded and said in a low voice, "But these guys aren't exactly good people either, so let's just kill them."

There were over thirty people in total, and they weren't professional killers!

Leng Feibai said calmly, "There are only about ten people with true qi, and the highest level is only around the fourth rank."

"That's just a petty thief."

Fan Xian's lips twitched involuntarily. He and Leng Feibai had weathered many storms before. Today, they had almost been taken down by a few petty thieves. If word got out, Li Chengze would laugh himself to death.

"A petty thief?"

Leng Feibai laughed, "Fan Xian, you're too careless. Watch out underwater."

After saying that, Leng Feibai stomped his foot, and three bursts of energy shot out from the ground and plunged into the water.

Almost simultaneously, three figures in black were forced out of the water by their inner energy and landed straight on the surface, turning the water red.

Fan Xian then realized that there really were fearless people who had come here to ambush them.

Thinking of this, Fan Xian was filled with anger and cursed at the sky, "Where did this fearless guy come from, attacking and killing the Third Prince, the Director of the Supervisory Council, and the current princess? Aren't you afraid of having your whole family executed?"

As soon as Fan Xian finished cursing, an old voice filled with murderous intent rang out, "If we leave you all here, we won't have to worry about your entire families being executed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three figures emerged from the dense forest.

All three were over sixty years old, two of them with white hair and beards, wearing brocade robes and carrying swords and silver spears.

The other person wore a straw hat and held a thick wooden staff with a carved head.

Upon seeing the three, Li Chengping exclaimed in surprise, "Duke Kang, Marquis Ye, and Master Sanshi, how could it be you!"

Leng Feibai's face darkened, and then he heard Duke Kang laugh, "Hehehe, if we kill you all and then destroy the evidence, we won't have to worry about anything."

"What!" Li Chengping angrily pointed at them and cursed, "How dare you! I am a prince of the current dynasty. Duke Kang, do you want to rebel?"

"His Majesty wants to cut off our source of income. Killing one of his sons is nothing, is it?"

Lord Ye, holding a silver spear, spoke with murderous intent, pointing the spear at them and saying, "Don't think anyone can come to save you. The two hundred Black Riders led by the Shadow of the Surveillance Bureau aren't even around here waiting for them to arrive. Your corpses are already turned to dust."

"Destroy the body and eliminate all traces!"

Leng Feibai looked at them as if they were dead, "Do the three of you think I'm invisible?"

"Leng Feibai, I know you are very strong."

The Duke of Kang's eyes were filled with cold light. "But Master Sanshi's martial arts are far superior to Lang Tao and Yun Zhilan's. With the assistance of the two of us, killing you will be as easy as turning one's hand. As for Fan Xian, he was seriously injured some time ago. How much fighting power can he still exert now? The rest are nothing but mayflies. Don't even think about stopping us."

After hearing this, Leng Feibai scratched his ear, and after sensing his surroundings to confirm that there were only these three guys, he said in a cold voice, "Then let me test what kind of strength you three have."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Feibai vanished into thin air, turning into dust.

For a moment, the three men, including the Duke of Kang, were stunned. They couldn't sense Leng Feibai's presence at all.

"Close your eyes if you're afraid of blood."

The voice rang out out of nowhere, before anyone present could react.

Lord Ye felt a powerful force coming from behind him, and pain spread throughout his body.

"what!"

A scream rang out, and in an instant, Lord Ye turned into a skeleton, falling to the ground along with his silver spear.

"what!"

Seeing Lord Ye die a tragic death, Duke Kang and Master Sanshi were stunned. Turning around, they saw Leng Feibai looking at them with amusement, "You boasted a lot, but your skills were far from adequate."

"asshole"

After Duke Kang finished speaking, he drew his long sword and Master Sanshi's wooden staff and attacked Leng Feibai from both sides.

"Fuck off!"

Leng Feibai raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike, sending Duke Kang heading directly towards Fan Xian.

Fan Xian understood and drew Frostmourne, using the Seven Deadly Swords of the Cold Plum Blossom technique, which combined offense and defense, that Leng Feibai had taught him a few days ago, to fight against Duke Kang.

Meanwhile, Leng Feibai is fighting Master Sanshi alone, even though Master Sanshi hasn't appeared in the TV series yet.

However, in the original book, Master Sanshi also cleaved an entire street in Suzhou with a single stroke.

In the end, he was shot to death by a hail of arrows by a group of archers arranged by Li Yunrui, leaving not even a whole corpse behind.

The wooden staff came at a fierce speed, its sweeping and powerful movements far surpassing those of Uesugi Tora.

Seeing this, Leng Feibai waved his left hand, and a surge of pure Yang sword energy gathered on his left index finger, ready to be unleashed.

"Nine Yang Divine Sword - Shao Shang Sword"

The sword energy is powerful and majestic, the sword strikes are wide and sweeping, fierce and unstoppable, and invincible.

Seeing this, Master Sanshi brandished his wooden staff, trying to block the sword energy, but the moment the sword energy touched the staff...

"boom"

With a cracking sound, Master Sanshi's wooden staff shattered on the spot, revealing a gleaming two-handed broadsword.

"ah"

Upon seeing this, Master Sanshi roared and slashed at Leng Feibai repeatedly with his long sword, each strike faster than the last.

Leng Feibai used the Heavenly Demon Body Technique to dodge left and right, while simultaneously waving his robe sleeves to block the sharp blades.

"impossible!"

Master Sanshi looked on in disbelief as he saw his blade blocked by the rough cloth sleeves of his robe.
