Chapter 147 - 71: The Taiping Escort Agency Suffers Annihilation, The Huang Tian Sect Appears

The sound of arrows piercing through the air was sharp and piercing, startling countless birds in the forest to scatter and fly away.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, the people from the Taiping Escort Agency were terrified, trying to scatter and escape, but the sheer number and speed of the arrows left them with nowhere to run.

All the escort masters who came along were martial masters below the Skin Forging Realm, their flesh and skin still fragile, only slightly stronger than ordinary people, and they were utterly defenseless against the heavy crossbow arrows.

Thud, thud...

The dull sound of arrowheads piercing flesh constantly appeared.

The heavy arrows, endowed with extreme speed and a powerful momentum, mercilessly penetrated the flesh and blood of these escort masters.

Screams rang one after another.

The escort masters who came along fell to the ground like wheat, more than half of them were dead or wounded in the blink of an eye,

The thick scent of blood spread out to the surrounding area.

Tang You's whole body shook as he deflected the arrows, turning back to witness this scene and was furious.

These people were the full-time escort masters of their agency, the backbone of their escort agency.

Far more important than those martial masters temporarily recruited.

If all these were dead, their escort agency would be as good as non-existent.

"How dare you!" Tang You shouted, his eyes burning with rage.

A burly man stood outside the range covered by the arrows, quietly observing everything.

Just after a wave of arrow rain, these ordinary escort masters of the agency barely survived, and such an effect brought a hint of joy to his face.

"No wonder it's the heavy crossbow of the dog emperor's family, the power is stronger than I anticipated," the burly man thought happily as he looked at the few surviving people, Tang You and Tang Wanrou.

The reason he had the Taiping Escort Agency transport these military prohibited goods this time was that the agency was on the brink of life and death, easily manipulable.

By using them for escort as a cover, he could secretly achieve his goal while avoiding those spies in the city. Besides, he could also let those reckless men from the agency test their weapons and tactics.

Killing two birds with one stone. As for the reward?

The dead don't need any reward.

The burly man stared at Tang You and the others, a trace of ruthlessness flashing across his face, "Since these people have seen our traces, they can't be left alive and must be killed entirely, otherwise the leaked information would be troublesome."

"It's just that your luck is bad."

Tang You, who traveled in the Jianghu all year round, quickly regained his composure and glanced at the two escort masters on his sides.

These two were also veteran escort masters from the Taiping Escort Agency, having roamed the Jianghu for many years, with abundant experience, and their cultivation had reached the Skin Forging Realm, allowing them some self-protection under the rain of arrows.

"Old Huang, Old Gao, wait for my command later, and then the three of us will attack together, take down this man before us first, kill him and then we split and run."

"Alright."

"Wanrou, when we make our move, don't look back, find an opportunity to run immediately, go back to the county and inform Lord County Magistrate, let him make the call. This matter is already beyond our capability to handle."

Tang Wanrou's face was solemn, knowing the urgency of the situation, she immediately agreed.

Outside Zhangzi Forest, a gentle breeze passed through the treetops, causing the leaves to rustle.

Just as the people from the Taiping Escort Agency were discussing countermeasures, the burly man's figure suddenly surged forward, resembling a hunting leopard, his speed was so fast that no one could react.

Bang!

A dull impact accompanied by the sound of bones cracking rang out.

Followed by, bright red blood splashed out like a fountain from the neck of an old escort master beside Tang You, staining the surrounding grass.

The escort master's body was heavily smashed to the ground by the burly man, his head shattered, blood mixed with brains flowed everywhere.

This scene unfolded so quickly that even Tang You standing beside almost couldn't react.

He stood there in a daze, quickly turning his head, eyes fixedly staring at this burly man, his heartbeat pounding like a drum, a chill rising from his spine to his scalp.

Tang You and the other old escort master couldn't believe it, they were utterly defeated so easily.

The opponent was a martial master of the Qi Cultivation Realm!

"Who on earth are you!?" Tang You, intimidated by the burly man's aura, tried hard to stabilize his emotions, yet his voice still trembled almost inaudibly.

"The dead don't need to know too much." The burly man glanced at Tang You and the others, a slight sneer on his face.

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

After speaking, the escort master beside Tang You dashed out like lightning, his fist wrapped in the sound of breaking through the air, directly targeting the burly man's face.

The burly man had already noticed, his eyes slightly narrowed, his muscles tensed like steel, seemingly converging like two small mountains.

"Boom!"

Fist and palm collided, producing a deafening explosion.

Invisible Qi spread around, causing the surrounding leaves to tremble.

The escort master from the Taiping Escort Agency felt as if he had been struck by lightning in this strike, feeling an extremely sharp power drilling into his arm, tearing his meridians to shreds.

His whole body swayed slightly, his face instantly turned red, and a mouthful of fresh blood burst forth.

"Old Gao!" A hint of fear flashed in Tang You's eyes, he suddenly turned and slapped Tang Wanrou's shoulder: "Run!"

Tang Wanrou also reacted, using the palm strike's force, leaping up and swiftly vanishing into the forest.

The burly man seeing this growled: "You're asking for death!"

Before he could act, Tang You was already one step ahead, raising his fist directly targeting the burly man's vitals.

Yet the burly man remained composed, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes as he slightly waved his hand in the air, precisely grasping Tang You's arm.

"Ah!" Tang You's muscles swelled in an attempt to break free from the grip, but the burly man's strength was as solid as a mountain, making it impossible for him to move an inch.

The burly man coldly glanced at Tang You, swiftly extending his other hand, seizing the ankle of another escort master beside him and then pulling it forcefully, slamming it heavily onto the ground.

"Die!"

Boom!

The ground shook.

In the forest, a crisp sound like bones cracking echoed as if ice were breaking.

"Cough, cough!"

Tang You bled from his seven orifices, his vision covered in a bloody hue, his consciousness muddled.

"Why... why..." He muttered, filled with unwillingness.

He couldn't understand, he just wanted to honestly escort the goods, why did it lead to such an end?

"Because you are weak!" The burly man stood over Tang You, looking down at him, one foot pressed on his chest, "The world governed by the dog emperor of Zhou Country is a world where the strong prey on the weak."

"To hell with... this damned... world!" Tang You let out a desperate roar, as the burly man increased the pressure with his foot, silencing his voice permanently.

Right after the burly man killed Tang You and the others, over a hundred well-equipped men rushed out from the forest, gathering around the burly man.

Each of them had a Yellow Cloth tied on their arms, their faces expressionless.

"Yellow Angel, what should we do next?"

"A rat has escaped, I'll go after it. You all follow the commander's arrangement, continue to set up."

"Yes."

After dropping a sentence, the burly man directly pursued into the forest.
