Chapter 299 - Half-way down the road

In the dead of night, there was only silence. A line of carriages travelled through the dense forest from the south of the Second King's Mountain. Please Baidu Search (Book Web) to see the most complete! The fastest novel!

In front of him was a lonely and s.p.a.cious canyon. The darkness of the night made Xiao Ding's heart calm down. Xiao Ling'Er raised her arm and pushed forward as she exchanged glances with her daughter.

The wheels rolled, the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps echoed in the valley. Everyone sped up at the same time, ready to charge through the canyon in one go!

As long as they rushed through the canyon, the bandits would not be able to attack the caravan from both sides. The danger would be greatly reduced, and there would be no more dangers.

The canyon was about three to four miles long. With their full speed, it would only take half an incense stick of time for them to rush out of the canyon!

When they entered the canyon, a cold wind blew out, blowing on everyone's cheeks. It was like a cold blade had cut into their cheeks, chilling them to the bone.

The team of carriages shot into the canyon like arrows and moved forward at a fast speed. In just a short moment, they had already traveled through half of the canyon.

Under the moonlight, Xiao Ding lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. He could vaguely see the outline of the forest on the other side of the valley. This caused him to feel slightly relieved!

Xiao Ling`er, who was to the side, also let out a sigh of relief. She lowered her hand from the sword on her waist and said: "Father, it seems that we have avoided a swarm of bandits this time around."

Xiao Ding wiped away the beads of sweat on his forehead and revealed a look of relief. Even though Old Immortal Xu was in charge of the convoy and his daughter was present as well.

However, they were transporting such a large amount of goods. If a battle were to occur, there would definitely be huge losses. Being able to safely cross the Second King Mountain was naturally the best result.

Xiao Ding looked at the exit of the valley in the distance. He used his hand to pat the carriage window. His eyes were filled with hope.

Through the curtain of the carriage, they saw the rapidly retreating black walls of the canyon. Their eyes revealed a hint of anxiety as they looked at their master. They wanted to ask but did not dare to.

Old Immortal Xu seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. His breathing was even, and his expression was peaceful. Seeing that the caravan had already pa.s.sed two-thirds of the way through the canyon, the two disciples, Qing Shan and Qing Yun, finally opened their eyes.

Xiang Yun, who was walking at the back of the caravan, suddenly shook. He raised his head to look at the mountainside on the right side of the valley, a strange light flickering in his eyes.

Xiang Yun rolled his eyes before suddenly crying out, "Aiyah, my stomach hurts! No, I have to go and relieve myself!"

When the surrounding guards heard this, they were stunned for a moment. Then, they hurriedly tried to persuade, "Brother Wei, we can't stop here. Hold on for a bit. You can go when we're out of the canyon."

"Yeah, Brother Wei, hang in there a bit longer!"

"Aiyo, no, my stomach hurts a lot. You guys go ahead, I'll find a place to settle down and come here to look for you!"

"This …" The rest of the group was helpless. They could not stop either, so they could only continue onward and wait for the convoy to leave the canyon.

However, just as Xiang Yun left the crowd's sight …

"Rumble!"

"Be careful!"

"Patriarch, Eldest Miss, quickly come out!"

At that moment, everyone's cheers resounded!

In the next moment, the two boulders finally tumbled down from the mountain and smashed toward the carriage at the same time!

If the two of them had been even a little bit slower, they would have probably been smashed into meat patties by the huge rock.

After Xiao Ding and Xiao Ling`er landed on the ground, their faces turned slightly white as they watched the scene in front of them. They were still in a state of shock when suddenly, the flames shot up from both sides of the canyon and the shadows of the hundred or so people instantly appeared on both sides of the canyon.

"Haha, the leader of a swarm of bees, Ba Tongtian, is here. Who is he?" A rough and deep voice boomed like thunder in the valley!

"A swarm of bees!"

The moment they heard these words, everyone in the caravan's expression changed. They knew that they had been ambushed, but they had obviously snuck through the canyon during the night. How could they have been ambushed by bandits?

The situation was critical, and no one had time to think. Xiao Ling'Er even pulled out her sword from her waist with a vigilant look. Xiao Ding, who was standing beside her, quickly pressed down on her daughter's sword hilt and shouted.

"I am Xiao Ding from the Rising Sun Trading Company. I am accompanying the guests from the Trading Company, Immortal Xu and my daughter Xiao Ling'er, to escort the goods to the Tiger City. I am pa.s.sing by a precious place and hope that all of you can make things easier for me. I am extremely grateful!"

Xiao Ding was indeed an old martial artist; his words were skillful and forceful. He had revealed his ident.i.ty as the boss of the Rising Sun Trading Company, yet he hadn't mentioned that the goods had been taken away by a swarm of bees the previous three times.

However, the words that he had just spoken along with his daughter, Xiao Ling'Er, and the guest elder Xu's name were undoubtedly warning the Mountain Bandits to not act rashly.

"Hehe, it's the Rising Sun Trading Company again. You really don't have any brains. The goods have already been intercepted by us three times, yet you still dare to come here. Fine, I'll help you remember something!"

Xiao Ding's expression changed drastically when he heard this as he quickly shouted: "Everyone, I, Xiao Budian, am a businessman. If everyone is willing to help, I will definitely thank you. I hope everyone can agree to help!"

Hearing this, a rough and wild laughter came from the canyon.

"Hahahaha, you motherf * cking b * tch, your father even needs to thank you for that. Let me tell you, today, all of your goods must be left behind, even your lives!"

When he said this, Xiao Ding's body stiffened and his expression turned as dark as water. The guards of the Xiao Clan also panicked and fell into a mess.

At this moment, it was Xiao Ling'Er who had pulled out her sword!

Xiao Ling'Er stuck out her sword and showed her imposing manner. For a moment, the fl.u.s.tered guards calmed down a little as if they had found a backbone.

Following a burst of wild laughter that resonated through the canyon, the two sides of the Second King's Mountain lit up under the light of the blazing fire. Like a group of wild beasts rus.h.i.+ng out of the forest, the hundred figures roared, shouted, laughed madly, and rushed towards the convoy.

At this moment, Xiao Ling'Er waved her arms and shouted: "All Xiao family's guards, follow me to kill the enemy. If you kill a bandit, you will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver!"

There must be bravery in a heavy reward, Xiao Ling'Er's words made the originally fearful Xiao family's guards feel a surge of energy. Killing a single person would earn them a hundred taels of silver, and the reward was not small.

"F * ck, brothers, here's our chance to get rich!" "Follow Eldest Miss and kill the thieves to receive their rewards!"

Some of the guards loyal to the Xiao family also responded loudly. They brandished their sabers and made sounds of 'hu hu'. The guards of the Xiao family were immediately infected. All of them shouted as well!

"Death Slaughter, Reward!" Kill and receive your reward! "

Seeing that her guard's aura had been mobilized, Xiao Ling'Er's heart calmed down. She immediately turned around and said to the carriage behind her.

"Elder Xu, please help us!"

Hearing that, a strong wind blew inside the carriage. Old Immortal Xu took a step forward and tapped the floor of the carriage with his toe. With a leap, he landed next to Xiao Ling'Er.

The surface of Old Immortal Xu's body was enveloped by a profound light. The mark of a Yellow Cloud Realm expert being released from his body was revealed without a doubt. It was like a bright lamp, illuminating the canyon and igniting the flames of hope within the Xiao family!

"Don't worry Eldest Miss, as long as I, Xu, am here, no one can touch a single hair on the store's head!" Elder Xu's hair danced in the wind, his voice was like a great bell, his aura extraordinary.

"Qingshan, Qingyun, and the other guards will kill the bandits. I will protect the young miss and Clan Head, Zhou Quan!"

"Yes sir!"

Teng Qingshan and Qing Yun also rushed down from the carriage and drew their swords. Seeing the appearance of Immortal Xu, the aura of the guards of the Xiao Clan reached its peak in an instant.

"Right, where's Brother Wei!?" Xiao Ding suddenly thought of Xiang Yun. He hurriedly turned his head to look around, but there was no trace of Xiang Yun.

Xiao Ling`er, who was at the side, coldly shouted: "Hmph, Father, don't worry about that brat. If he didn't run away cowardly, then it would have been a spy sent by the Mountain Bandits. Otherwise, how could he have left in such a coincidence?"

Although Xiao Ding had a puzzled look on his face, the bandits had already rushed down the mountain, so Xiao Ding did not have time for him to think. Xiao Ding also clenched his teeth and pulled out the sword from his waist!

"Kill!"

For a time, the canyon was filled with battle cries that shook the heavens. Flames and b.l.o.o.d.y lights illuminated the night sky!

On the right side of the canyon, on the side of the Second King Mountain, two people stood side by side, watching the battle within the canyon.

One of them had a st.u.r.dy physique and wore a grey cloak. In his hand was a huge black double-bladed war axe. The other one had a graceful figure with exquisite curves. There were several short silver blades at his waist, and his body was alluring.

"Hehe, tonight, we can earn another fortune. Once we take care of the father and daughter duo of the Xiao family, my reputation and strength will definitely become even more resounding. I, Ba Tongtian, will also become famous!" The man's voice was rough and his smile was extremely complacent.

The woman at the side laughed sweetly, "Hehehe, you are truly a wise man. I admire you so much."
