A few miles away from Chenxiang Mansion's convoy, in the mountains and forests at dark night.
Several figures were like ghosts, flying quickly across the large forest land.
No ravines, mountains, streams, or rock walls could block their path.
If someone could look down from above, they would find that the route these people took was completely straight.
Not long after, when they were still a mile away from the convoy, the figures quickly stopped and spread out to stand high in the forest, looking at the convoy camp with a bonfire.
"This is it." Someone whispered.
"Notify the adults." Another person quickly took out the warning firework from his waist, then opened the lid of the firecracker and blew it hard.
A flame appears and the pyrotechnic fuse is lit.
laugh!
A beam of fire shot up into the sky, illuminating a large area of woodland in the dark night sky.
Then, several miles away, another firework shot into the sky.
Then, like a relay, fireworks continued to rise further in the distance.
"What!?" Zhang Yunqi stood up violently by the campfire and looked into the distance.
"They are warning fireworks. They are usually used for warning, but using them several times in a row must be for positioning!" He was rich in experience and recognized what it was right away.
"The location is not far from us, could it be that they are coming for us again?" Zhang Zhenhai said solemnly.
There are too many people coming to the convoy these days.
Although many of the noises are heard from a distance, there is no movement before you get close.
But it happened again and again, and after more experiences, everyone understood that they had become the lost ones.
"Believe me, sir! We remain vigilant!" Sun Chaoyue said.
She was still sitting by the campfire, motionless.
Anyway, no matter who the enemy is, she can't defeat it. Instead of worrying, it's better to trust Zhang Yingdaozi.
Zhang Yunqi glanced at her and couldn't help but think more highly of her.
Being able to remain calm in the face of danger and not panic is a psychological quality that not just anyone can possess.
But no matter what, the preparations still have to be made.
He immediately started shouting.
"Everyone, get up and be on alert!"
Everyone stood up and arranged the carriages and boxes in a circle to prepare for possible shooting.
At this time, it was at the top of the cliff.
Zhang Rongfang opened his eyes again, stood up, stood on the stone where he was meditating, and looked into the distance.
Dark-light vision was at home at night, as if it were daytime. He could clearly see the warning fireworks rising in the snowy forest in the distance, as well as the few men in black who released them.
"Someone is here again." He whispered.
Ran Xinyue also stood up and looked into the distance.
But all she saw were fireworks rising into the sky.
"It's to locate the fireworks and attract people to use them later, probably a large force. What do you plan to do?"
"The snow forest is dark. I have defeated so many people before and yet I dare to come again. It seems that these people should be very confident in their own strength." Zhang Rongfang said calmly.
Except for the initial Qingxia, as the number of attackers increased, the opponents he encountered became stronger and stronger.
"Want to help?" Ran Xinyue said. "But in order to suppress the spiritual thread in my body, I can't use all my strength for the time being."
"Is there a way to suppress the spiritual thread?"
"Of course there is. Otherwise, how could I dare to become an undercover agent of the Taoist Cult?" Ran Xinyue replied.
"No."
With his current strength, even a great master would have to fight him to know the outcome.
It's just that there are so many people, it means nothing to him.
Besides, he didn't think that any grand master would be free to arrest Chenxiang Mansion's convoy.
Taking a gentle breath, Zhang Rongfang exerted force on his feet, flew like a nighthawk, and jumped out of the cliff again.
This time, he did not fall straight down, but directly unfolded his robes like a glider and flew towards the place where the fireworks had just gone up.

"Is that over there?"
In the snow forest at night, on the backs of four war horses, four great masters, Yu Wenji and Chen Tao, came to investigate.
The Elephant Weaver Army did not follow, but separated a group of powerful and fast scouts to investigate.
At this time, looking at the fireworks rising in the distance, the four of them looked calm.
For them, capturing several ordinary warriors who are not masters is as easy as eating and drinking.
The key is whether specific clues can be investigated.
This is what the four people are paying attention to.
"Get the clues immediately, we don't have much time." Chen Tao frowned. "Thousand Sect Alliance breaks the rules and must be severely punished. The Pavilion Master may issue military orders at any time."
"What a troubled time..."
Yuwenji sighed.
"Ah." He tilted his head slightly.
"The general is here!" A tall, black-armored young man who was thin compared to a few others came out, cupping his fists and bowing.
"Take someone to bring the three people from the convoy. You have to move quickly."
"Yes!" Ah He said quickly, stood up and raised his hands, and suddenly a black shadow came out of the forest behind him, following him and running forward quickly towards the convoy camp.
Pass through large woodlands.
The trees in front of Ahe continued to separate to both sides.
There was a constant sound of stepping on the snow and cracking dead leaves and branches underfoot.
The distance is getting closer and closer.
Suddenly Ahe stopped his steps and looked forward intently.
On the snow in front of me, I saw a pile of scout corpses lying scattered across the ground.
The blood penetrated the white snow and dyed it bright red.
The moonlight gradually moved out of the clouds, casting beams of light.
Under the light, a burly figure slowly walked out of the darkness, walking among many corpses.
The man was wearing a gray cloak, with long hair hanging over his shoulders, and his eyes were dark and without any light.
"How brave! You dare to kill my Elephant Weaver Army scout...!" Ah He suddenly pulled out the heavy sword on his back and held it tightly with both hands.
"Be careful! You're going to live!" He pulled down the protective mask of his helmet, stepped on it, splashing snow powder, and rushed forward.
Bang bang bang bang!
In an instant, there was an explosion of gunfire all around.
A large number of projectiles sprayed out covering all directions where the man was dodging.
With a crash, the man's cloak flew high into the air, and his body turned into an afterimage and disappeared in place.
puff!
The first black-armored soldier was thrown high into the air, his neck was broken, and he died on the ground.
The second one was slapped in the chest, causing his sternum to collapse.
Zhang Rongfang's movement skills were like ghosts. In front of this group of low-level spiritual troops, both sides were far behind in terms of speed and strength.
Even if you use a musket, you can still only aim at the afterimage left behind after he moves.
Tsk tsk tsk!
On the snow, the bodies of the spirit soldiers were scattered one after another. Some sputtered with blood and flew out, while some vomited blood and fell to the ground, their bodies penetrated.
Ah He held a heavy sword and kept chasing, but he couldn't catch up, and his eyes became colder and colder.
As a master of Sankong, he has not encountered this kind of situation for a long time.
The elites around him fell to the ground one after another. No one could catch the opponent's move, and no one could delay the opponent for a second.
Making a quick decision, he pulled out the ignition wire on the armor on his back.
laugh!
A new light green firework shot up into the sky and exploded. This was a call for help.
At this moment, the last scout stood blankly in front of Zhang Rongfang, his eyebrows and forehead bones collapsed and shattered.
With a snap, he fell backwards to the ground.
Ah He let out a low roar, and finally found an opportunity with his heavy sword, slashing at the man from behind with all his strength.
What he used was Xuehong Pavilion's original military killing method - the blood-breaking technique.
Military killing techniques refer to all fighting techniques created for the battlefield.
Its characteristic is that it is open and closed, good at dealing with group battles, and suitable for long weapons. It also pays attention to killing with one blow, and there is no room for relaxation. Either you die or I die.
Because battlefields are mostly group battles and long-weapon situations, and in life-and-death battles, victory or defeat often only happens in a split second.
If time drags on for a long time, twists and turns will easily occur. Therefore, everyone is pursuing the end of the battle as soon as possible.
At this time, Ah He slashed down the heavy sword with all his strength, and his sword technique faintly changed several times. Whether the opponent dodges or blocks, he can always connect the moves with targeted moves.
when!
Zhang Rongfang raised his hand and hit the side of the epee accurately, knocking it upward.
Unexpectedly, the epee took advantage of the situation and spun around, creating a rapid arc and slashing at him from another angle.
when!
Another heavy blow.
Very powerful.
Zhang Rongfang narrowed his eyes slightly.
The power of the heavy sword is comparable to that of an ordinary master. The weapon is not an ordinary weapon, it seems that there are some mechanisms in it...
This person...should be no ordinary person.
Dang Dang Dang!
The heavy sword continued to use force to spin, and then slashed.
And the speed is getting faster and faster, the force is getting heavier and heavier.
Zhang Rongfang knocked away the sword blade with his palms one after another, but had no intention of attacking at all. He was just trying to break up the attack.
He has never fought against an expert in the military before, and this is his real first time fighting against him.
And the tactics used to deal with it... are very powerful.
One move explodes, one after another, each one more powerful than the last.
If you are not careful, if you hesitate or make a mistake, you will be seriously injured by the sword.
Compared with ordinary martial arts masters, people in the martial arts world are much stronger.
He could feel that his absolute defensive circle was being rapidly improved by the opponent's moves.
'This is an opponent suitable for perfecting absolute defense.'
Zhang Rongfang commented in his mind and became more and more cautious in his moves, carefully observing the opponent's various moves.
For a moment, the two people's moves on the snow were intertwined, and their fists, feet and heavy swords occasionally clashed head-on, making a muffled sound.
Soon, half a minute later.
Zhang Rongfang suddenly sighed softly.
He completely saw all the opponent's moves.
"Okay." He said softly.
"!?" Ahe's expression changed, as if he felt something, he immediately roared and threw the heavy sword in his hand with all his strength.
Then he turned around and ran away.
Zhang Rongfang smiled slightly, dodged the heavy sword, and moved forward silently like a giant python, reaching behind the opponent within a second.
He raised his hand, hooked his five fingers forward, and grabbed Ahe's neck.
This is the most commonly used Eagle Claw Kung Fu.
"retreat!"
Suddenly, in the forest not far away, a white object came quickly and flew hard towards Zhang Rongfang's chest.
The thing was extremely fast, and a sharp whistling sound could be heard in mid-air, which showed that it was extremely powerful.
If Zhang Rongfang continues to grab Ah He, he will definitely be hit by this thing.
Just by glancing at it, he could tell that this thing was flying with great power.
Now that he was getting closer, he could see clearly that it was simply a snow-white diamond-shaped pointed cone!
Behind him, in the forest behind him, was a man wearing a lion's black armor, looking towards this direction with cold eyes.
His right arm slowly lowered itself, which was obviously the sharp cone he shot.
Peng!
Zhang Rongfang grabbed Ah He's neck with one hand, twisted and pinched it.
Blood shot out and scattered on the snow.
He stopped where he was, relaxed his hands slightly, and looked down at the sharp awl that hit his chest at the same time.
"What did you say just now?"
When he moved his body, the sharp cone fell from his robe, leaving only a small bloody opening on his skin.
The bloody mouth healed and disappeared almost the moment it came into contact with air.
Ahe's body fell to the ground, twitching and slowly losing life.
"Zhang Ying...! It's actually you!"
Chen Tao's eyes narrowed when he saw this scene.
He strode forward and glanced at his subordinate who was lying on the ground twitching, his eyes flashing fiercely.
He has never looked down on these so-called martial arts masters. Even if military masters of the same level compete with martial arts masters, the former will definitely win.
But now...
"It seems that everyone underestimates you..." He said solemnly.
"Not even close." Zhang Rongfang closed his eyes slightly and felt the changes in his body.
After killing people for so many days, he had an inexplicable sense of confidence building up in his heart.
An absolute defensive circle... not even close.
As for the final form, he had a hunch that if there were a few strong enemies... he might be able to gather it overnight, but if it wasn't strong enough, he didn't know when it would become...
"So, are you here to catch me too?"
Zhang Rongfang opened his eyes and stared at the other person with a hint of expectation.
He could feel the strength of the other party, that kind of one-piece formation, just like Zhou Yan's powerful aura, which only a strong man of one level could possess.
——Great Grandmaster!
Whoosh!
In an instant, three burly figures appeared in the surrounding snow and landed almost at the same time.
Yu Wenji from Eagle Wing Helmet, Lin Hansheng from Zhenyi Sect, and Zen Master Yuan Hai from Xizong.
The four great masters formed a square, perfectly surrounding Zhang Rongfang in the center.
