Astral Apostle

   Chapter 208 Road Encounter and Attack

  嘚嘚——

   Horseshoe disease, soil smoke rises.

   Twenty-eight cavalry, running in the official road.

   "This road leads to Tongwu County, so Chen Feng's next stop is likely to be here. I wonder if he has committed a crime now."

   One of the middle-aged Jianghu people with a sword frowned and opened his mouth. This person was called Yan Hanjun, the head of the Qinglian School, and the Jianghu people called it "Guyue Sword", and he was quite famous in the south.

   "We started from Ningtian and chased all the way for about ten days. We should have stopped Chen Feng soon."

   Another burly man with iron rings on his arms spoke. This man is the leader of the Sea Whale Sect, An Dafeng, nicknamed "Iron Hand Blood Shark", and is also the number one figure in the southern martial arts.

   "Finally caught up, intercept this person as soon as possible, complete the instructions of the adults, and hurry back to answer."

   A lean old man with a knife on his waist was full of anger. This person is the head of Taiyi Sect, "Xuanxu Dao" Lu Xilin, who is also famous.

  The twenty-eight cavalry are all well-known Jianghu masters, either the master of one sect, or the famous Jianghu legend, and they go together to fight against Chen Feng.

   A Jianghu sect wants to develop on the right path, and cannot avoid fawning on the powerful and looking for official backers, so these famous Jianghus received invitations from several noble families in Ningtian, and they did not dare to neglect, and took this errand solemnly.

   After all, a little leak from such a big man's hand is enough for them to benefit.

  Everyone envied Shen Sanqiu, who led the team. Not only did they curry favor with the nobles of the aristocratic family like them, but he also climbed to the real Yufeng through his disciples. I don’t know how many benefits will be waiting for him in the future.

   "It's getting late today, so we might not be able to make it to the county seat. Let's find a place to stay."

  Shen Sanqiu looked up at the gradually yellowing sky and said back.

   Everyone nodded, and there was no objection.

   The group slowed down their horses, saved horsepower, and walked four or five miles to find a dirt road extending from the official road leading to a rural inn, and they turned in.

   After walking for a while, a store came into view, surrounded by a fence, and the area was not small.

   There was a burst of shouts of drinking and punching in the store, which was quite lively, and it seemed that the business was booming.

   The group led the horse in front, and the second shopkeeper hurriedly greeted them, nodding and bowing.

   "Masters, do you want to be sharp or stay in a shop?"

   "Stay in the shop, take our mounts to the stables, and take care of them."

   Shen Sanqiu nodded.

   The second shopkeeper heard the words, hurriedly nodded, and said carefully:

"Oh, it's unfortunate for the uncles to come here. Dozens of customers have just arrived at the front of the store, occupying most of the wing rooms, and now there are only three rooms left. I think there are about twenty people in this guest official's party. look at this..."

   He saw that this group of people were carrying swords and swords, and they were probably troublesome Jianghu people, so he kept his attitude low, apologized repeatedly, and made a good voice.

  Shen Sanqiu listened to the lively movement inside and knew that what the shop assistant said was true, he asked, "Then is there any other inn nearby?"

  The shopkeeper's tone was embarrassed: "Keguan, this is a ten-mile radius, and we have a village shop. There is a village market more than twenty miles ahead. It's just that it's not early at the moment, so I'm afraid it's already dark..."

  An Dafeng heard the words, frowned and said, "Don't be so troublesome, Sect Master Shen, let's just stay here for one night, I'll let those people inside share our rooms and give us some money."

   "Alright."

   Shen Sanqiu nodded.

   "Guest officer, this..." The shop assistant was a little anxious.

The group of guests in    also carried weapons. They were not good people. He couldn't afford to offend both sides, for fear that the two sides would not agree to a conflict.

   Shen Sanqiu ignored him, and asked everyone to tie their horses aside, and then walked into the store.

  The lobby was full of people, who were drinking happily when they heard someone coming in, and they turned their heads to look.

   Shen Sanqiu and his party entered the door and observed the guests present.

  The shop was quiet for a while, and the two sides looked at each other.

   Everyone soon discovered that among the group of people in the store, there were strong men with Confucian skills and strong muscles, and there were also thin farmers with yellow faces and thin muscles.

   Shen Sanqiu glanced at it, and suddenly found a familiar face in the crowd, and said in surprise:

   "Lin Song? Why are you here?"

   "Master, Master?!"

  Lin Song widened his eyes, his face full of surprise.

   It was Chen Feng's group who found a place to have a drink and rest, and the forefoot just arrived.

   Hearing this, Guo Haishen and others were quite surprised, and looked at Shen Sanqiu in amazement.

   "This is the master known as Jiang Chun's first sword?"

  Fang Zhen looked up and down, quite curious.

   Shen Sanqiu was unsure of where this group of people came from, frowned, stared at Lin Song, and scolded: "Didn't you go to Luhe to **** some property, why haven't you returned to the sect?"

  Lin Song came back to his senses, with a look of horror on his face, and subconsciously looked at Chen Feng beside him.

   At this moment, Chen Fengcai turned to face the door, looked at Shen Sanqiu, and said, "You are the head of the Wushan faction? It's a coincidence that we met here."

   He is still in placement mode, not Zhou Jing himself.

   Hearing this, Shen Sanqiu and the others couldn't help but turn their eyes to him, and found that the man's muscles were knotted, his aura was overflowing, and his face was quite familiar.

   Chen Feng?

   Everyone recognized it immediately, and their eyes changed slightly.

   In these days, the government officials in various places have greatly increased the want of Chen Feng, and the precision of the wanted portrait has also improved. Now it is quite similar to Chen Feng, and it is not difficult to identify.

   The group did not expect to encounter the target in the village shop, and they looked at each other quietly and exchanged glances secretly.

   Shen Sanqiu didn't understand, how did his apprentice get along with Chen Feng?

   He calmed down and gestured quietly behind his back, indicating that everyone was ready to start, and then clasped his fists at Chen Feng.

   "This hero invited me. I happened to pass by this place in Shen Sanqiu. Seeing that it was getting late, I wanted to stay here. I hope you will make it easier..."

   Shen Sanqiu opened his mouth.

   While the other party's eyes were on him, he suddenly twisted, leaving a gap.

brush!

   A little bit of cold light suddenly flew out from his just position and went straight to Chen Feng.

   It was a Jianghu master who used Shen Sanqiu's body to block his movements, quietly threw a poisoned flying knife, and deliberately attacked.

   Almost in the blink of an eye, the flying knife was in front of Chen's cover, and it was abrupt.

  Chen's cover did not change color, he waved his big hand, the last one came first, and slapped the ground and swept away the flying knife.

   Hearing a duh sound, the flying knife was inserted into the beam of the inn.

   "Hmph, little tricks of eagles."

  Chen Feng's palm was unscathed, he picked up the iron panlong spear on the side, and stood up.

   "The visitor is not good! Brothers, copy the guy!"

  Guo Haishen and others suddenly changed color and got up one after another.

   At this moment, a group of experts from all corners of the world took out their weapons and slaughtered in all directions.

   "Kill! Not one left!"

  Shen Sanqiu shouted violently, and drew his sword with his backhand. The sword was swift and light, and instantly stabbed the two enemies next to him.

   More than 20 famous rivers and lakes were rampant in the store, and many people were cut down in a blink of an eye.

   They are outstanding in martial arts, and each of them can defeat dozens of people. Ordinary people are not opponents at all, only the strong and powerful Lulin can resist. However, the number of Green Forest experts around Chen Feng was less than half of his opponent's, so he couldn't protect all his followers.

   In this narrow indoor environment, the dexterity of this group of Jianghu people is more able to perform, and in the blink of an eye, they fight with Chen Feng and his group.

   In the eyes of this group of famous people in the world, Chen Feng and his group are all serious criminals in the court. Although some of them seem to be ordinary villagers who are not skilled in martial arts, they will not be soft-hearted.

   "Court death!"

  Chen Feng drank violently, kicked the gun head violently, and stabbed the nearest person with a mountain-like strength.

   "Good come!"

   This famous Jianghu shouted, and even raised his sword to the grid, he was treating Chen Feng as an ordinary warrior, and wanted to see the tricks.

   However, as soon as the blade touched the tip of the spear, it was broken apart by a twisting force, completely unable to resist.

   The face of this famous Jianghu star changed suddenly, and he wanted to dodge sideways, but it was too late.

brush!

   In the next second, the gun head pierced the man's chest without any hindrance.

  Chen Feng picked up the gun and cut the man in half.

  !

   As if a water bladder exploded, the blood splattered all over the sky.

   The ferocious scene suddenly shocked many people in the rivers and lakes.

  Shen Sanqiu's eyes shrank suddenly, and he shouted loudly: "The idea is to stick to the hand, cut its wings first, and then surround and kill this beast!"

   "Grandpa is here, how can you be presumptuous!"

  Chen Feng spun his spear, shouted violently, and went straight to the crowd.

  Many experts in the arena know that his strength is astonishing, and they do not dare to stand up to him, and hurriedly scattered, wanting to wander and fight.

   However, although their ideas are good, they are all useless.

  Chen Feng is not only powerful, but also nimble and quick, turning like a giant bear and leaping like a tiger.

  Indoors are not suitable for spear play, but the obstacles blocking the trajectory of the spear, whether it is a table, chair or a pillar, are all directly smashed, and it is impossible to stop the gun.

   As soon as he shot, he was either killed or injured, and no one could hide.

   No matter what martial arts these martial arts masters practice or rely on, they are not enemies of unity.

The twenty-eight people who came to crusade were all long-established masters, but they were crushed to death by Chen Feng like a chicken. The spirits of the dead.

   "What kind of martial arts are you practicing, and you have such power?!"

   Shen Sanqiu's face changed greatly.

  This is completely different from what he expected.

   He regretted suddenly in his heart. He shouldn't have made such a hasty shot.

   However, such an unexpected encounter, if you retreat rashly, it will also make the other party suspicious, but this time, the arrow has to be shot on the string.

   At this moment, Chen Feng didn't say a word, just shook his hand and shot at it.

  Shen Sanqiu hurriedly used light work to dodge, his pace changed, and he retreated violently, only to escape the spear edge in a thrilling manner.

   Just when he thought he had avoided this move, Chen Feng suddenly flicked the tip of his spear, and an invisible spear force slammed into Shen Sanqiu's chest a foot away.

  Shen Sanqiu realized that something was wrong, he made an emergency movement to resist, and then turned sideways to unload his force, but he was still severely injured.

boom!

   He spat out a mouthful of blood, and flew out backwards, smashing through the wall.

   "Strength to split the air!"

   Seeing this scene, many famous people in the rivers and lakes were all shocked and exclaimed.

   This kind of skill is a legend that people in Jianghu can only see but cannot reach. They have practiced martial arts all their lives, and they have never seen anyone who can do it with their own eyes. It is only today that they really see it.

   "This person's martial arts have reached the realm of transformation, and he is invincible. Let's go!"

  Yan Hanjun's eyes were splitting, he shouted sternly, and quickly attacked with a few swords, as if the moon was flying, forcing the two green forest masters who were fighting back, and then jumped out of the window to escape without hesitation.

   Not far away, Guo Haishen and An Dafeng were fighting. Both of them were outstanding in their kung fu, with four iron arms fighting head-on, but Guo Haishen had more skill and had the upper hand.

   Seeing that Chen Feng was so fierce, An Dafeng didn't dare to entangle him any more, so he took a few punches from Guo Haishen and vomited blood to escape.

   On the other side, the main road of Taiyi Gate, Xilin and Hong Dingxian, fought with swords against swords. A long saber was in front and back, fast and slow.

   But at this time, he didn't dare to fight, he forced Hong Dingxian away with a few knives, followed light footwork, turned around and ran.

   Seeing this, other famous people in the rivers and lakes also had the intention of retreating, and immediately dispersed as birds and beasts, forcing away their opponents and fleeing.

   Their mounts were tied at the door of the store, and the famous people in the rivers and lakes who escaped jumped on their horses and ran in all directions without looking back, ignoring their companions.

   At this time, let the Daoist friends die and not the poor Daoists!

   Chen Feng chased and killed for a while, and then killed and injured several people, watching the only remaining people running away in different directions, and then stopped chasing.

   He turned his head back to the messy inn and asked:

   "How about the casualties?"

   "Second brother, we have more than ten brothers who died, and they are all poor people who have followed us during this period."

   Fang Zhen gritted his teeth.

   This group of Jianghu masters ran away when they saw that the situation was not good. From the fight to the end, the process was not long, and the people in the green forest beside Chen Feng were not killed or injured. Those killed by the enemy were all villagers who had followed recently, and had not had time to practice martial arts.

   "Bury them alive."

   Chen Feng responded.

   At this time, Guo Haishen brought up a famous Jianghu legend from the ground and asked why.

  This man did not dare to disobey, and he told the story in a trembling manner. Only then did everyone know the origin of this group of enemies and the reason for the sudden attack.

   "Hateful! These famous rivers and lakes are actually willing to be the eagle dogs of the court!"

   Guo Haishen shouted angrily.

   Fang Zhen also gritted his teeth bitterly: "It's a pity that I couldn't keep them all!"

   Twenty-eight enemies, most of whom died at the hands of Chen Feng, and ten or so escaped on horseback.

Chen Feng threw the man in his hand and said coldly: "It's okay, you can run away from the monk, but not the temple! Wushan faction, Qinglian faction, sea whale faction, Taiyimen... Since these Jianghu factions have taken action against me, grandpa They went back and forth with courtesy, visited them one by one, smashed their mountain gates, and robbed them of their martial arts!"

  Guo Haishen nodded, and did not say that stealing martial arts is a taboo in all corners of the world. He is not pedantic. Others can do the 15th when they are in the first grade.

   At this moment, Lin Song suddenly gritted his teeth and stepped forward to speak:

   "Several brothers, I would like to help you all."

  Everyone turned their heads to look, their eyes showing the meaning of questioning.

Lin Song calmed down and said helplessly, "The Sect Master is an enemy of you all, and he recognizes me here again, and he will definitely feel that I am with all of you, and regard me as a traitor, I have nowhere to go, and I hope Brothers take it in, and I would like to serve my brother in a saddle."

  Shen Sanqiu was shot by Chen Feng and was seriously injured, but after cleaning the battlefield, he did not find his body, and apparently ran away on horseback dragging his injuries.

The head of    ran away, and Lin Song knew that from now on, he would not be able to take shelter in Wushan, and it would be impossible for Chen Feng and his group to take him to get the ransom, and he would lose his role.

   In order to protect himself and avoid being used by this group of people to vent his anger, he felt that he had no choice but to express his stance and join the team.

   Everyone turned to look at Chen Feng, waiting for him to decide.

  Chen Feng nodded: "Then you can follow."

   After he finished speaking, he ignored Lin Song, took out a purse and threw it on the counter, making the shopkeeper and the shop assistant who were hiding behind the counter tremble.

   "A little silver tael, let's talk about compensation."

  Chen Feng said casually, and without looking at the shopkeeper's reaction, he turned around and joined the crowd to clean the battlefield and bury the brothers.

  …

the other side.

  Shen Sanqiu drove his horse and ran wildly, his face like golden paper, and his mouth was bleeding.

   "Cough cough... This Chen Feng was born so well, how can there be such a talented warrior in the world..."

   When he thinks of the **** storm just now, his liver and gallbladder tremble, and his heart palpitates.

  Shen Sanqiu tremblingly took out the healing medicine from his own school, swallowed it in his mouth, and immediately performed silently to heal his wounds.

  Although he was hit by a slashing gun and was seriously injured, fortunately it wasn’t fatal and he was able to hold on.

   He was so frightened that he didn't dare to take a long rest on the road.

   After escaping for several days, he felt completely safe and slowed down.

   That night, Shen Sanqiu settled in a ruined temple.

   It was raining lightly outside, and he was burning a fire in the temple to keep warm.

   "Hey, this matter could not be done. When I returned to Ning Tian, ​​I couldn't deal with it, and I got into a strong enemy like Chen Feng. This is a big loss..."

   Facing the crackling firewood, Shen Sanqiu was silent in a daze, and his mind was confused.

   Just then, footsteps sounded outside the broken temple, and someone approached.

"who is it?!"

   Shen Sanqiu came back to his senses, suddenly drew his sword in his hand, and got up nervously.

   The next moment, a man in a dark green suit walked into the ruined temple, with two swords hanging from his waist, he was soaked all over.

   This man has a valiant appearance, but at this moment his expression is gloomy, as if full of thoughts, it is Duan Yunfeng.

   Seeing Shen Sanqiu's nervous appearance, Duan Yunfeng looked at it for a while, then clasped his fists and said solemnly:

   "Passed by here, just came here to take shelter from the rain."

  Shen Sanqiu saw that this person was also a trainee, so he was on guard and said, "I already occupied this place, you can find another place."

   Duan Yunfeng frowned: "I walked in the rain for a long time to find this place, and I just came in to avoid it. Besides, there is no owner of the ruined temple, so don't make an inch."

   After he finished speaking, he didn't bother to pay any attention to Shen Sanqiu, so he walked straight into the ruined temple, went to sit in the corner on the other side, avoided the light of the fire, and hid in the darkness, and he couldn't find it without looking closely.

   "Rude people..."

   Shen Sanqiu muttered in his heart, but it was not easy to chase people away, so he guarded the fire and secretly guarded Duan Yunfeng.

   The two were relatively speechless and ignored each other.

   After a while, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded outside the temple, and a team of officers and soldiers stopped outside the temple.

   This team of officers and soldiers **** their horses and walked into the temple to take shelter from the rain. At a glance, they saw Shen Sanqiu beside the fire.

   "Hey, isn't this the head of the Wu Shan faction, Shen?"

   The leader of the officers and soldiers recognized Shen Sanqiu and spoke out of curiosity.

   Shen Sanqiu raised his eyes and looked up, but he didn't know this person, and said in surprise, "You know me?"

   "We came from Ningtian Mansion. We happened to meet Sect Master Shen half a month ago."

   The captain of the officers and soldiers bowed his hands and looked polite.

   Shen Sanqiu understood, looked at the group and asked, "What are you doing here?"

   "A few days ago, someone masked to assassinate the emperor, and the assassin disappeared. The government dispatched soldiers in the city and sent teams of people out of the city to find traces of the assassin. We were one of them." The captain of the officers and soldiers responded casually.

   "What? The Emperor was assassinated?!"

   Shen Sanqiu was stunned for a moment. He had left Ningtian Mansion before the incident. He had been operating in the wild all this time, but this was the first time he heard about it.

"Yes, it is said that the government and the opposition are angry, and the adults have given death orders to catch the assassin, and those who have merit can be promoted and rewarded... It's just that we don't know the assassin's appearance and name, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Fighting in and out is very impressive. If Sect Master Shen has nothing to do, why not walk with me for a while?"

   The captain of the officers and soldiers opened the invitation.

   "Use double swords?"

   Shen Sanqiu was stunned, and subconsciously looked at the dim corner on the other side.

   The captain of the officers and soldiers was puzzled and looked along his gaze, only to find that there was another person in the temple.

   Seeing the appearance of Yunfeng in the middle of the shadow, he couldn't help but startled.

   Duan Yunfeng had no expression on his face, secretly counted the number of people present, then stood up silently, and slowly drew out his sword.
