948: Chapter 594 948: Chapter 594 The leader gave an order, and those running scoundrels were quite annoyed, having to abandon their horses and choose to chase on foot from such a distance!
But still, they obeyed the leader and could only pursue by running!
The people on the other side of the official road, whether they were cooperating with this gang or not, also pursued as this gang did, although their formations differed, belonging to the same gang!
For this group of fat sheep, they had arranged a joint deal, considering the carriages definitely belonged to the wealthy.
Their dozens of carriages already represented a fortune, not to mention the dozen good horses!
As for how much money these people had on them?
Judging by their fine carriages, they must be wealthy, speculating about this matter was too much to swallow in one bite, they had to quickly ally with some nearby gangs and overlords for this nighttime ambush!
Originally, they thought these were merely rich young masters with low abilities, one could tell just by looking at their guards, who were only a bit stronger in martial strength and not Cultivators!
There was no formidable Qi emanating from them, emboldening their resolve to make a big score tonight.
Tang Feiyang in the sky, had not yet revealed his magical Spells, deciding to first assess these people’s capabilities.
If help was needed, he would employ his Spell at the earliest opportunity!
Intending to surprise them with wit and break out of this encirclement, escaping!
The guards and some of the ambushing people shot arrows, and as the guards blocked the arrows, they also launched hidden weapons toward the source of the shooting!
This line of carriages, stretching long, was perilously navigating this road!
Some people had ambushed, thinking that not many would escape this way and they could handle it!
But they didn’t realize that all the people had come here, and the dozen guards were not easy to deal with, their launched hidden weapons caused injuries, greatly reducing their fighting power!
Those scholars in the carriage windows, though frightened, were not completely immobilized!
Young men, full of vigor, would without hesitation launch the hidden weapons in their hands despite their fear!
Now could quickly frighten and injure these robbers, making sure those inside the carriages were not harmed!
Choosing to fight the enemies with all their might, they had no choice, with wolves ahead and tigers behind, by killing these obstructors, they could escape.
Then they were nervous but felt a rush of excitement; encountering such life-or-death situations was inevitable for merchants, although they didn’t actively engage in these harmful actions!
To defend themselves, they needed to be strong and fierce, otherwise, they would surely die!
They were all young men, full of bright futures and budding dreams of becoming Immortals.
These people were caught off guard, short on men, and overwhelmed by too formidable opponents, numerous were injured by hidden weapons, and some even died!
Not wanting to die despite their lack of fear, they hoped the reinforcements would catch up quickly; dodging continuously, they could not launch any more barrages of arrows, and the real escape of this group, along with horses and carriages, passed their ambush point!
Tang Feiyang, leading this group, forbade entering any village according to his instructions, as entering might harm the villagers and trap them inside with no escape!
The guards and scholars did not realize this, thinking hiding in a village would keep them safe from these people!
Tang Feiyang would not foolishly enter a village and risk civilian casualties or being surrounded by enemies!
Otherwise, they would end up like sheep led to the slaughter!
Tang Feiyang, with his keen sight, spotted a large group of pursuers behind!
There were blockers ahead on this road, but fewer than those chasing from behind!
More importantly, all the roads leading to the town were ambushed, surrounded by fields, where they could abandon the carriages and run.
But dying together was never an option!
Abandoning the carriages was only a last resort!
He also discovered that those blocking their way were just bandits, ruffians, and gangs from the Martial World, possessing martial strength and Qinggong, but no Cultivators were seen!
Tang Feiyang was relieved that no Cultivators had set their sights on them!
Utilizing this discovery, Tang Feiyang continued to advance, determined to break through any traps they encountered.
Indeed, as they neared the town, more people were ambushed on both sides of the road!
This time, these people weren’t shooting arrows but stood in the middle of the road, ready for a real battle.
Tang Feiyang applauded the courage of his group; although their skills were lacking?
They were, after all, students of the Confucianism Taoism Academy in Capital City, ordinary people with a bit of martial strength and Qinggong, manageable enough!
If they were really that weak, how could they form a team in Capital City?
And how could they lead so many people out for divine tribulation?
Tang Feiyang had not yet acted, now was not the time for him to intervene!
The guards rushed forward first; they were cavalry, which gave them an advantage over those standing on the ground; a dozen horses passed, causing a “clattering” sound.
Quickly, the people blocking the road fell!
Some, questioning their life before dying, wondered how such strong individuals could appear here?
Expecting easy prey, they encountered Evil Ghosts that led them to Yama Palace!
Without pausing, so formidable, they hastily passed through this road!
The pursuers behind, more reliant on running, could not keep up as the carriage and horses had long sped away!
