Martial Arts: Opening Awakening

Chapter 9

"My lord, are you alright?"

The coachman exclaimed in surprise.

Jiang Nan stared fixedly at the coachman for a while, unable to judge whether the coachman was involved in this matter.

"Are you dead?"

At this time, someone poked his head out from the cliff to look around.

"Good thief!"

The coachman shouted angrily and jumped more than ten feet high.The toes touched a little on the cliff, and they rose a few feet.Then, he grabbed a branch, jumped up again with his strength, and rushed towards the person on the cliff.

Jiang Nan was slightly surprised that the coachman turned out to be a master.

The person on the cliff was startled and backed away in a hurry, and another person behind him raised his knife and slashed at the coachman.

Mrs. Che was in mid-air, unable to dodge, she could only use a "thousand catty drop" in a hurry to make her body fall the same way.

"Haha... go eat shit!"

The man on the cliff laughed loudly, picked up head-sized stones, condescendingly, and threw them at the coachman who had just fallen to the ground.

The coachman had to dodge one after another, quite embarrassed.

"Third brother, let's go!"

After about a dozen stones were thrown down, someone on the cliff called out.

"Okay! Boy, eat another flying stone from me!"

The stone thrower laughed loudly, dropped the last stone in his hand, and immediately retracted his head.

It seems to be evacuated.

The coachman looked at the height of the cliff with an angry look on his face, but he didn't dare to rush after him.

The opponent occupies a favorable location, and there are more than one person.

If it's just a false evacuation, ambush in secret, and when you climb up the cliff with nowhere to go, the consequences will be disastrous.

After being on guard for a long time, seeing no movement on the cliff, the coachman walked up to Jiangnan and asked:
"My lord, are you not hurt?"

"Who are you? I'm at Jiang's house, and I don't seem to have seen you before." Jiang Nan was still on guard.

"My name is Li Chen, and I'm a registered disciple that Master Song accepted after he came to Nanshan City. I didn't live in Jiang's house before, so the Eldest Young Master has never seen me." The coachman explained: "At noon today, when Master Song left, he asked me to come here. Protect the eldest son."

"Oh. Did Uncle Song say anything else?"

"Master Song said, tell Eldest Young Master to be careful, he will come and join us as soon as possible." Li Chen, the coachman, comforted him, "Don't worry Eldest Young Master, those few just now are just ordinary thieves, but they took advantage of the location. There is no need to worry about changing to other places.”

"Hmm. Brother Li is very skilled, so I'm naturally relieved. I don't know what level of martial arts Brother Li has reached?"

"It was only last year that he broke through the eighth grade internal energy."

Although he said he was "not talented", Li Chen's tone was quite arrogant.

"Amazing!" Jiang Nan praised with a thumbs up.

"Compared to the real masters in the rivers and lakes, it's still far away..."

The carriage was broken, and the two had to walk.

Fortunately, Li Chen was quite familiar with the surrounding roads, and after walking for more than half an hour, he found a post station.

The two asked for two rooms next to each other, and asked Xiao Er to deliver food, and they ate dinner in the room.

"My lord, call me loudly if you have something to do."

Li Chen solemnly instructed, and went back to his room.

Jiang Nan spread out the quilt, stuffed the package and pillows in, and pretended to be someone sleeping.He himself held the long sword and hid under the bed.

After finally getting through, he softly yelled at Li Chen in the next room: "The Claw of Stealing Heaven!"

Song Sandao's signature sword technique "Three Swords of the Thunderbolt" came to mind instantly.

Only then did Jiang Nan feel relieved.

Sure enough, Li Chen was not lying, he was Song Sandao's disciple.

Closing his eyes, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

In a daze, a loud shout suddenly came from the next room: "Who is it?"

Then there was the sound of broken windows, as if Li Chen had chased him out.

Jiang Nan suddenly lost all sleepiness, and he held his sword tightly and stared at the door carefully.

After a while, the door creaked softly, and someone came in.

The visitor glanced at the motionless camouflage on the bed.

Can't help but mutter in a low voice: "Didn't you say that this trash has hidden martial arts? Why is he so vigilant?"

"Trash is trash. What about hiding martial arts, keeping a low profile, hehe..."

The visitor gave a disdainful smile, swaggered to the side of the bed, raised the long knife in his hand, and slashed fiercely at the center of the quilt.

"Ok?"

There is no force on the place where the long knife cuts, which is completely different from the feeling of cutting the flesh.

The visitor felt a "thud" in his heart, and immediately felt something was wrong.

Just as he was about to return to the knife guard, a gust of wind suddenly came from under the bed, and something hard pierced it fiercely from under the bed.

"Oh woo—"

The person who came came screamed in pain, and jumped up with his legs crossed like a conditioned reflex.

When it fell, the shouting stopped, and the person fell to the ground with a "tong".

That thing stabbed too deeply, hurt the internal organs, and died immediately.

Still not at ease, Jiang Nan pulled out his sticky long sword with great effort, and pierced the throat of the man on the ground with his backhand.

Then he slowly crawled out from under the bed.

Close the door, hide on the other side of the door and listen to the movement outside.

"Eldest son..."

After a while, Li Chen's shout came again.

Jiang Nan opened the door.

Li Chen caught a glimpse of the corpse on the ground, and was shocked: "It's bad! I fell into a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain."

"My lord, are you not injured?" Li Chen looked Jiang Nan's whole body up and down.

"fine."

Jiang Nan rubbed the sticky long sword against the corpse.

Li Chen leaned over and lifted the black scarf on the visitor's face.

"Huh? It turned out to be him!"

"Do you know this person?" Jiang Nan asked.

"This is the gold medal fighter of the Poison Wolf Gang in the city. He ranks fourth and is also a cultivation base of the eighth-rank inner breath." Li Chen stared at the blood-stained long sword in Jiang Nan's hand in shock: "My lord, this man is Did you kill it?"

"Ah."

Jiang Nan nodded and said lightly, "I hid under the bed and stabbed him from below, and he died."

It was only then that Li Chen noticed a puddle of stuff coming out of the lower body of the corpse.

Suddenly a shock.

Subconsciously pinched his legs.

This is an eighth-rank internal energy master like myself!

To be stabbed to death by this good-for-nothing who has always been known as a dandy next to him? !

If he inadvertently gave himself such a blow, would he be able to resist it?

Li Chen, who was originally a bit proud of being a master of internal energy of the eighth rank, felt chilly in his heart.

"My lord, those members of the Poison Wolf Gang are the most domineering. Now that the fourth brother is dying here, he will definitely not let it go. Let's leave overnight." Li Chen suggested.

"If we leave now, we will be able to arrive at the mine in the countryside before noon tomorrow. There are hundreds of miners from Jiang's family in the mine, as well as the mine guards. Even if the members of the Poison Wolf Gang come, they will be able to stand up for a while. Hold on until my master arrives."

"it is good."

Jiang Nan pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The Poisonous Wolf Gang, which Jiangnan also knew a little bit about, was one of the several major gangs entrenched underground in Nanshan City.

The leader of the gang, Poison Wolf, is in the realm of seventh-rank Tongmai. He is insidious and cunning, and his methods are cruel and ruthless.Hundreds of gang members under him make a living by collecting protection fees, lending usury and extortion.It can be said that it has a bad reputation.

If it were placed in Nanshan City, Poisonous Wolf would definitely not dare to attack the eldest son of the Jiang family.

But when it comes to the outside, it's hard to tell.

Especially as we all know, Jiangnan has become an outcast of the Jiang family.

As long as the method is clean and neat, no excuses are left, and the Jiang family's reputation is not damaged.I believe that no one will care about the life and death of an abandoned child.

The two of them didn't have anything to pack, so they quietly left the station.

At this time, it was about the fourth watch.

The surrounding fields are silent, only the half-circle moon in the sky silently sprinkles the clear light, vaguely illuminating the mottled tree shadows on the road.

Li Chen, who was walking quickly, suddenly stopped, and shouted towards Jiangnan:
"careful!"
