Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 43: Jiang Yuan Takes Action

Meanwhile, on the canyon.

There was a caravan of a merchant guild, leading horses and slowly heading towards Lin'an County.

This caravan was none other than the Wanmin Merchant Guild.

They had just returned from a business trip outside the city.

For a merchant guild, each business trip could last anywhere from ten days to several months.

Every business trip brought in huge profits.

However, traveling through the wilderness was often fraught with danger.

This time, the Wanmin Merchant Guild was transporting carts of grain.

Lin'an County was surrounded by mountains and had abundant medicinal herb resources.

But there was a shortage of grain.

Every year, they had to purchase grain from other places and transport it to Lin'an County for sale.

And this was also the stable source of income for the Wanmin Merchant Guild.

Suddenly.

Jia Wandao's expression froze in astonishment.

Jiang Yuan? Did I hear that right?

He immediately raised his hand and said, "Fuguan, tell them to stop!"

"Guild Master, what's wrong?"

"Rest here for a while, and remember to keep quiet," Jia Wandao said with a solemn expression.

"Yes, Guild Master!"

Then, Jia Wandao turned to the tall and thin man beside him and asked, "Zhao Gongfeng, did you hear the sound coming from over there?"

Zhao Gongfeng nodded solemnly and said, "Jiang Yuan, the second-in-command of the Jiang family, something big might have happened below the canyon."

"That's right! Let's go and take a look."

"Okay!"

With that, the two of them immediately took action.

In the next moment, they arrived at a protruding treetop above the canyon.

When they saw the scene below, their faces instantly showed shock.

"As I expected, Jiang Yuan has been intercepted by the Black Wind Bandit Leader," Jia Wandao said in a low voice.

"In that case, this talented Jiang Yuan might fall like a shooting star!"

Jia Wandao shook his head.

"Not necessarily!"

"Guild Master, do you have such confidence in Jiang Yuan?"

"Don't you see? He came out to escort the goods! And it's a high-profile escort, clearly attracting the attention of the Black Wind Bandit Leader."

"That's true!" Zhao Gongfeng fell into deep thought. "In that case, Jiang Yuan must have something to rely on. But what can make him fearless against a peak Body Tempering Ninth Layer expert?"

"You'll find out soon. Just make sure they don't notice us!"

"Guild Master, rest assured! I've been traveling the martial world for many years, and I understand this principle!"

At this moment.

The leader of the Black Wind Bandit stood on a bare rock.

Looking at the caravan below, surrounded by his men.

His eyes were filled with ferocity and a strong killing intent.

On the other side.

The escorts, seeing the approaching bandits and outlaws, immediately formed a defensive formation back to back. Their swords and blades were unsheathed, and the cold light shimmered.

Their expressions couldn't help but become tense.

They tightened their grip on their weapons and stared intently at the movements around them.

This was their first time escorting goods in their lives, and it was also their first encounter with bandits and outlaws blocking their way.

Moreover, it was led by a peak Body Tempering Ninth Layer expert. Their hearts were filled with unease.

Meanwhile, the faceplate of the Black Wind Bandit Leader appeared in Jiang Yuan's eyes.

[Name]: Ning Buqi

[Cultivation]: Body Tempering Ninth Layer

[Innate Luck]: Proficient in Fist and Palm Techniques (White), Tough Skin and Iron Bones (White), Buddhist Inclination (White)

[Proficient in Fist and Palm Techniques]: Has a good talent in fist and palm techniques.

[Tough Skin and Iron Bones]: Has naturally tough skin and bones, with a far superior ability to withstand attacks compared to ordinary people.

[Buddhist Inclination]: Has a Buddhist nature, making it easier to comprehend Buddhist martial arts.

After reading his faceplate, Jiang Yuan could only say one thing.

Steady!

Then he smirked and said mockingly, "You really are a fool. Even though I knew you would come, why did you still leave the city?

Ning Buqi was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"Are you trying to deceive me even at the brink of death? No matter what you say today, you must pay with your life for my second brother!"

Jiang Yuan shook his head, his eyes narrowing.

In the next moment.

Ning Buqi's expression suddenly changed, his face becoming serious as he said word by word, "The true meaning of martial arts!"

"I underestimated you!"

He then looked up at the sky.

At this moment, he had already entered Jiang Yuan's spiritual world.

The clear sky above had turned dark, with endless thunderclouds gathering overhead.

Strong winds and flying sand surrounded him.

The sound of trees breaking could be heard, as they were swept up into the sky by the strong winds.

The bandits and outlaws below instantly fell into chaos, running around in panic.

Meanwhile, the heavily guarded escorts were suddenly filled with astonishment and confusion.

In their eyes, the fierce Black Wind Village bandits from earlier now seemed to have gone mad.

They discarded their helmets and armor, howling like ghosts and wolves, running around in circles.

"Such powerful true martial arts! The young master has become stronger again!" Gu Mo exclaimed in amazement.

On the other side, Ning Buqi suddenly shouted, "Don't be afraid!"

These three words echoed like thunder in the ears of the bandits.

Instantly, their attention was brought back.

They quickly looked up at the head of the family standing on the giant rock.

Ning Buqi continued, "What you see before you is all an illusion, do not panic. I will break this true martial arts illusion."

Just then.

Boom!

A loud roar from above, and the world suddenly turned pale.

A thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking the crowd of bandits.

In an instant, the crowd was in chaos. When they regained their senses,

their faces turned incredibly fearful, trembling uncontrollably.

The few brothers who were struck by the lightning had turned into charred corpses.

"This...this is not an illusion! This is real, it's the heavens punishing us!"

Someone instantly broke down, wailing in despair.

At the same time, thunder rumbled overhead, the sound continuously echoing.

Boom—

One after another, thunderbolts tore through the sky and descended.

"Bold!" Ning Buqi shouted, "Watch me break through this illusion of true martial arts."

As soon as he finished speaking, he clasped his hands together.

A dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from his body.

A golden Buddha figure condensed behind him, growing in size as if it could tear apart the heavens and earth.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Superficial appearance!"

In the past month, since his martial arts true meaning of the Wind and Thunder Sword had reached perfection,

the speed at which his spirit and energy grew surprised even himself.

Compared to before, it had increased exponentially. How could Ning Buqi break through his true martial arts true meaning?

In the next moment.

With a thought in his mind,

the thunderclouds in the sky rapidly gathered above Ning Buqi.

In an instant, a red and white thunderbolt descended from the sky, illuminating the forest as if it were daytime.

"Good timing!" Ning Buqi shouted.

The Buddha figure behind him merged with him, slowly clapping towards the sky.

This scene seemed like he was striking the sky with his palm, but in reality, it was the collision of true martial arts true meanings, the collision of spiritual power.

Boom—

A loud noise.

The golden Buddha figure remained motionless, seemingly unharmed.

Ning Buqi suddenly burst into laughter, "Jiang Yuan, your true martial arts true meaning is nothing special! If this is all you've got, then today you will be buried here to compensate for my second brother's life!"
