Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction
Chapter 55 - 46: Taking Action

Chapter 55: Chapter 46: Taking Action

"Spare it, spare it." The head of the Tian family saw another group of people charging towards them, and his already somewhat panicked expression became even more shaken with fear.

He was the only one in the convoy who knew what was actually being transported in the carriage. If he delayed the family’s important affairs, how could he bear the consequences? But given the current situation, even though he was reluctant in his heart, he was helpless.

At a loss, unsure of what decision to make for a moment.

"The bandits are fierce; abandon the goods and retreat first." Pan Xuncheng could hardly care about the hesitation of the Tian family head, as he blocked another attacking man, shouting.

Taking the opportunity, Pan Xuncheng swung his blade down, leaving some injuries on his opponent’s chest. He had already seized the opportunity, mounted his fast horse, and galloped towards the left fork.

The second-in-command of the mountain bandits fought with him, understanding that for them to decide the outcome between the two of them, it would take a hundred moves, and he was confident of defeating his opponent.

However, not knowing what ambushes lay behind, he dared not fight to the death.

Better to live and retreat, Pan Xuncheng hurriedly fled outside.

The other members of the team saw Pan Xuncheng’s actions and similarly fought while retreating, no longer protecting the goods, and escaped alongside Pan Xuncheng.

Meanwhile, Ji Guoxiang and Zhou Jianxing, who were evenly matched against a group leader, felt a similar urge to retreat upon hearing Pan Xuncheng’s shout.

"Retreat!" they understood each other’s intentions during a breathless pause.

With two or three leaps, they mounted fast horses.

With a slap on the horse’s rump with his long knife in his right hand, he immediately followed Pan Xuncheng’s direction to escape.

The burly man who had been dealt a heavy blow by Pan Xuncheng was taken aback. Just as he was catching his breath, he saw Ji Guoxiang and the others darting out with Pan Xuncheng. He wanted to pursue but couldn’t.

On the other side, Lin Yuan, who had been fishing in troubled waters, had already sensed the current situation.

"As expected, abandoning the goods to escape. I also need to find an opportunity to leave." At this moment, Lin Yuan was entangled with two or three lackeys, hardly exerting any effort.

Now that he heard Pan Xuncheng’s shout, he naturally dispatched two people in three strikes, then mounted a fast horse and followed suit.

In the span of about four or five breaths.

Gong Zhangshan, lagging behind, suddenly saw Lin Yuan quickly mounting a horse, intending to retreat. He too moved swiftly, leaping onto a strong horse in a few jumps, and followed in retreat.

"Having let a few escape, there’s no way to let you all get away." The burly man, ignoring his chest injury, instantly changed his expression, these few at the back absolutely could not be let go.

Seeing Lin Yuan galloping on horseback, his eyes gleamed with murderous intent.

He once again circulated his internal Qi-Blood, and with his palm as large as a fan, aimed to strike down on the bay horse beneath Lin Yuan.

"The horse is in danger!"

Lin Yuan became serious, his eyes and hands quick. If the blow were aimed at him, he naturally had no fear. After a confrontation, he could surely carve a path out.

But if the blow landed on the horse’s head, the horse was sure to die. Then he would need to reveal his prowess today to regain control of the situation.

Yet such a move was not what he wished.

"Change direction, take the right."

Lin Yuan’s eyes flashed with determination, pulling the reins sharply. The bay horse abruptly turned its head, galloping towards the right fork.

Gong Zhangshan, following two or three breaths behind Lin Yuan, saw Lin Yuan change direction to the right, realizing that there was an interception on the left side.

He looked at Lin Yuan with insidious and fierce eyes.

Without hesitation, he rode his strong horse down the right path as well.

The man tried to block them with two quick movements but was a step too slow and couldn’t catch up to Lin Yuan and the others.

"Old Third and Old Fifth, come with me. Old Fourth, you pursue the two on the right side. They are humanly weak and horse weary, they won’t get far."

"Boss Ma intercepts from the front. If you can’t overpower them, just stall them."

"Golden Tooth Li, clean up the goods. If anything goes wrong, I will chop you into pieces and feed them to Widow Li’s dogs."

"All others, pursue them, don’t let a single one escape!"

The burly man assessed the situation and assigned personnel, immediately chasing towards the left.

***

In the woods, a sharp shriek broke through the tranquil air, followed by a flock of birds sensing a predator attack, flying away in groups, flapping their wings.

"Whoa!"

Lin Yuan and Gong Zhangshan gradually slowed their horses.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to keep riding, but the horses hadn’t rested since last night, with foaming mouths, were nearing their limits.

The two dismounted simultaneously.

Lin Yuan naturally observed carefully, discerning their current position.

After a few breaths, he noticed the surroundings were quiet, not like there was an ambush.

The two looked at each other.

Lin Yuan’s expression was calm.

In contrast, the gaze Gong Zhangshan directed at Lin Yuan was filled with undisguised satisfaction and pleasure.

Swoosh!

"That day you were arrogant, insulting me greatly. Little did you know that retribution from heaven would come so swiftly, today leaving you in my hands."

Gong Zhangshan slowly drew his saber, a streak of thrill flashing through his narrow eyes.

"I, born in a village and also a disciple of the academy, despise vermin like you who dare act arrogantly due to the influence of others. Relying on the prestige of the Pei family, flaunting power before us." Gong Zhangshan caressed the blade of his long saber, his tone filled with satisfaction.

"For this, Zhou Jianxing even gifted you a Five Qi Pill." His eyes showed unabashed greed.

"Indeed, such is the case." Lin Yuan nodded, seeing Gong Zhangshan’s actions, his expression remained calm.

"How can you have such peace of mind to accept this pill? You want to gamble your life with me, ha! Do you think I don’t dare gamble? Just a mere chores boy, relying on the courage given by the Pei family, Zhou Jianxing only gave you the Five Qi Pill because of this. I despise lapdogs like you the most!"

"Today, I want you to understand completely, to see clearly your own worth. Let’s see if your good brother can save your life now."

"Come on, don’t you want to gamble your life?! Today, now! I’ll have a good gamble with you!" Gong Zhangshan’s face flushed, pale complexion slightly crazed.

The repeated mentions of servitude and the life of a dog made Lin Yuan’s ears sting.

"Sigh!" Seeing Gong Zhangshan’s crazed actions, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but sigh, "Originally there was no conflict between us, all because of your bias."

"Since you resent others for leveraging the power of the Pei family, why don’t you bend towards the Pei family, after all, it’s the Pei family or the Hong family overshadowing us both."

"I am just a humble chores boy, how could I have offended you? That day was merely out of necessity. Why wield the blade against those weaker than you?"

From beginning to end, he had never actively flaunted the Pei family’s prestige before others. Nor did he reveal his connections; it was only when he was bullied by these people that he was compelled to use the Pei family’s name for countermeasure.

"Ha ha." Gong Zhangshan sneered, "Everything you have is just riding the wind of the Pei family, flying too high. My abilities are limited, unable to shake the Pei family, so first, I’ll sever lapdogs like you."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan shook his head and sighed, "It seems today, you and I must see a life and death."

"With today’s timing and advantages, killing you leaves no worries. Between you and me, only you dying and I surviving is possible."

Gong Zhangshan appeared fierce and lifted the long saber, charging towards Lin Yuan, "You still want to talk nonsense, delay time, and seek survival?"

"Give me your life!"

Seeing there was no room for reconciliation, Lin Yuan reflected on his interactions with this person, his anger surging.

"I didn’t want to fight you. Why force me to do so?"

"I just want a peaceful life, a peaceful martial practice, a peaceful cultivation of martial prowess."

"Why do you force me again and again?"

"Why force me!"
