Chapter 435 – Road encounters

An Zheng didn’t have much of an impression of the sword slave driving the chariot, he might have seen him in the cave in Mount Cang Man that day. However, the sword slaves at that time were all sealed in ice, making it impossible to see their faces clearly. This person was much older than Thirteen, the Sword Slave that An Zheng was familiar with. He looked to be around fifty years old, but his temperament was even more indifferent.

“Young Lord, let’s go.”

That sword slave slightly possessed his body.

Chen Shaobai was actually very polite to this old man: “Uncle Cheng, it’s been hard on you.”

The man who was called Uncle Cheng smiled and nodded, then looked at Su Jin who was following closely behind An Zheng and the rest.

“F * ck off.”

He only said one word.

Su Jin’s footsteps paused, but she did not leave. As the last courtier of the State of Zhao, he was also the younger brother of the King Zhao. If he was forced to retreat by a follower, then the State of Zhao would really lose all face. Of course, the current State of Zhao didn’t have much face left either.

The matured old sword slave saw that Su Jin did not retreat, and killing intent seeped out of his eyes.

She didn’t see him move either. It was as if she just stood there without moving at all. However, Su Jin, who was dozens of meters away, was sent flying backwards. A large wound appeared on her chest, and blood spurted out all over the place. Everyone on the State of Zhao’s side cried out in alarm, but no one dared to act rashly. They were well aware of Su Jin’s terrifying strength, but in front of that old man, they didn’t even have the chance to fight back. They didn’t even see how that old man had attacked!

The scar on Su Jin’s chest extended from her neck all the way to her lower abdomen, almost slicing her whole body open. If it wasn’t for the fact that his cultivation base was already very high, this sword would have split him into two. Even if he didn’t die immediately, given how severely injured he was, if he wasn’t treated in time, his life would still be in danger.

An Zheng’s expression changed as he looked at Chen Shaobai and raised his thumb.

Chen Shaobai introduced: “This is Uncle Cheng, I have followed my father for hundreds of years...”

The man who was addressed as Uncle Cheng humbly said, “The young lord calls me Uncle Cheng, so this old servant is very happy but does not dare to be unworthy. This old servant is the second Sword Slave under the High Lord.

An Zheng hurriedly returned the greeting, “Greetings, Uncle Cheng.”

Uncle Cheng smiled and said, “High Lord is truly fortunate to have a son like Young Lord and a disciple like Young Master An. His life can be considered complete.”

He made a inviting gesture and said, “Please get in the car. Let’s send the people back first.”

Chen Shaobai acknowledged and boarded the chariot. An Zheng looked around, the number of cultivators and warriors in State of Zhao were increasing, there was not a single drop of water that could flow through, furthermore, the State of Zhao’s warships were also gathering here, there were at least dozens of them in the sky.

Uncle Cheng said, “Please get on the carriage, Young Master An. Don’t worry about that. It’s just a motley crowd. There won’t be anything to be afraid of.”

He pulled out the long sword that was tied to his back, and waited for An Zheng to get on the car. After he shook his wrist, a ray of light flashed on the sword, and when he looked back, there was no trace of. A moment later, the entire courtyard was covered in a three hundred meter radius of black fog, and the area where the fog appeared once more was filled with the sounds of metal clashing.

After a moment, the black mist dissipated, and the clang was gone.

As for the people who died, they were scattered all over the ground.

Uncle Cheng let out a cold snort and got on the carriage with his sword. The flying dragon-like beast pulling the chariot raised its head to the sky and let ouoar before flying into the sky. When An Zheng sat at the window and looked down, he couldn’t help but inhale a breath of cold air.

Below, at least a few hundred people had been killed and their heads separated from their bodies.

Where there was a clang, there was death. Wherever the black mist arose, people would die. However, when Uncle Cheng killed someone, not even his shadow could be seen. Those hundreds of people who were killed weren’t all armored warriors. There were also some cultivators whose cultivation wasn’t weak to begin with.

The flying dragon and chariot paused for a moment in the sky before suddenly accelerating. The State of Zhao’s warships behind could not keep up with the chariot at all, and in just a moment, they had left those warships withourace.

Uncle Cheng sat in the chariot and said: “That person called Su Jin is not weak, I am afraid he is at the third stage of the Higher Completion Stage. He just didn’t want to use any tricks. You two captured King Zhao from the very beginning, Young Master An’s plan to lure the enemy had everyone’s attention on him, the Young Lord had succeeded in his attack. If not for that, the two of you might have already suffered a loss. ”

Chen Shaobai smilingly said: “With Uncle Cheng following me, when have I ever suffered a loss?”

Uncle Cheng laughed and shook his head: “What High Lord means is, in a while, the two of you should get off the carriage. The two of you have urgent matters to attend to, this old servant of the King Zhao will deliver her to Liu-Li City and hand his over to the Swallow King.”

An Zheng cupped his fists: “Thank you senior.”

Uncle Cheng quickly said: “Don’t call me that. You are a disciple of the High Lord and have the same status as the young lord. How could I dare to be called senior by you?”

An Zheng did not know what to say, but Chen Shaobai seemed to be more at ease: “Uncle Cheng, when my father is not around, let’s not talk about rules, we respect you, and of course you are our senior.”

Uncle Cheng smiled good-naturedly. He looked outside and said, “It’s about time. The pursuers behind us should have been completely shaken off. You two can leave now.”

An Zheng, Chen Shaobai and Uncle Cheng bid their farewells. When the chariot swooped down, the two of them jumped the moment it was closest to the ground. Because the speed of the chariot was too fast, even though it was only a few dozen meters in height, the two of them still had to rush forward for a long time before they managed to get rid of the inertia. With their cultivation level, they could obviously resist this kind of inertia. However, such pointless consumption of Cultivation Power was undesirable, moreover, if they forcefully stopped it, there would be a buzzing sound in their heads, and they would sometimes even feel like vomiting.

The two of them stopped at almost the same distance, then looked at each other and smiled.

“Go to Da Xi?”

Chen Shaobai asked.

An Zheng shook his head, “I have to do something before I go to the Da Xi Empire.”

Chen Shaobai pretended to be bashful. “I hate it.”

An Zheng: “Scram … Let’s return to Fengyu City. By now, the experts of State of Zhao should have already chased us out of the city with all their might, so it would be fine even if we swaggered back. “This is Zhao Jun’s military territory. Let’s destroy it before we leave. For example, we should burn down Zhao Jun’s granary.”

Chen Shaobai: “So you aren’t a good person either.”

An Zheng: “Yes, yes.”

If the two of them wanted to do something, there might not be many people who could stop them. The two of them took advantage of the chaos in Fengyu City and ignited all of the granary there. Then, they scampered off.

When they left Fengyu City, the sky was already about to turn dark. An Zheng and Chen Shaobai continued to walk and chat with each other.

“Master said that he wanted to bring something back?”

“A single bead is extremely important to my father’s recovery. However, sucrecious item is obviously not easy to obtain.”

An Zheng nodded: “How about this, I’ll help you look for the pearl first, then I’ll think of a way to meet Great Xi Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo s.”

Chen Shaobai: “You are a fucking lunatic. If Chen Wunuo sees through your identity, you will certainly die. No matter what, he will never let this shameful news of his own son killing the head of the Ming Fa Si spread out. ”

An Zheng: “I know, but I have to go. If he could convince Chen Wunuo, then how many less people would die in the Sixteenth Congress of the Youlan clan? I still understand Chen Wunuo, and it’s not like there are no flaws, I know how to make him change his mind. ”

Chen Shaobai: “I can’t be bothered with you … But then again, I don’t know what’s going on in the Western Regions. Where did the monk go, and where did the monkey go? ”

An Zheng sighed: “The grudge between monk and monkey, I can’t explain it clearly.”

The two of them chatted as they travelled. By the time the sky turned dark and dawn arrived, they were already at the southern border of State of Zhao. Not long after, Uncle Cheng who was ranked second in the sword slaves brought his chariot with him and caught up, telling him that there was an urgent matter for Chen Shaobai to leave for the time being. The two of them did not expect to separate so quickly, but Chen Shaobai said that he would catch up to An Zheng very soon.

After leaving the State of Zhao, he really became An Zheng’s journey alone.

The southern border of the State of Zhao was quite quiet. Although Zhao Jun and the rest of the army on the border of the Great Western Region were numerous, there was not a single person to be seen even after walking for tens of miles peacefully on the Great Western Region. This was the difference between a powerful country and a weak one. State of Zhao really wanted to gather all of his forces to defend, but Da Xi did not even put him in her eyes.

An Zheng avoided the checkpoint of the State of Zhao at the border, and was prepared to cross the mountain in front to enter the Da Xi Empire. Some of the people from the State of Zhao would also climb over this mountain because they yearned for the powerful and prosperous Da Xi Empire. But very few people would succeed. The first was that there were many dangerous places in the mountain, there were both dangerous areas and fierce beasts. Secondly, he had no way of standing on Da Xi’s side.

The pride of the Da Xi people allowed them to recognize outsiders with a single glance.

With An Zheng’s current strength, there were obviously no ferocious beasts that made him afraid. In order to reduce the trouble, An Zheng waited until dawn to enter the mountain. This mountain was called the Cangshan Mountains. It was said that there were many docile demonic beasts within the mountains. Not only were they harmless, they could even bring people help.

However, nothing was absolute. There were those who were docile and those who were vicious. When An Zheng first entered the mountain, he could walk along some small paths, and after walking for half a day, the paths disappeared. Fortunately, he didn’t have to worry about getting lost as long as he kept walking south. good old man, who was originally a very honest cat, suddenly woke up after entering the mountain. An Zheng realized that after eating so many good things … It wasn’t long at all.

good old man yawned and woke up. He then stretched his limbs and lazily climbed onto An Zheng’s shoulder, squatting there and looking ahead.

“You must have smelled something.”

An Zheng smiled and said.

good old man meowed but did not comment. It was even more bumpy, and there was no way out, so he had to take the lead. Along the way, An Zheng had indeed met a few docile looking small sized demon beasts, but An Zheng did not hunt them. These small creatures did not have an easy time surviving, so there was no need to hunt them all.

The hunters had targeted these docile demonic beasts, and they could still sell Demonic Beast Cores s for money.

When good old man saw those little things, he did not have much desire, and would sometimes jump down to play with them. However, those little things were afraid of good old man, since good old man was the most powerful demon beast … Once.

An Zheng could not help but think of the meaning of the opening of the reincarnation cycle in the good old man.

When they were almost to the top of the mountain, good old man suddenly raised his head and called out. The stars in his eyes started to circulate.

An Zheng’s footsteps paused for a moment, then he summoned his Holy Fish Scale. good old man raised a beautiful little claw and pointed towards the left. An Zheng then walked towards that direction.

The forest was very dense, so An Zheng passed through the branches that were always growing.

There seemed to be a numbing groan ahead, not a woman’s groan at certain moments, but one that sounded creepy and soft, but it lingered in my mind.

An Zheng’s expression changed, because he saw something lying besidock in front of him. It looked like a man’s clothes were ragged, and it was hard to tell if it was a man or a woman.

Beneath his disheveled hair, his face looked miserably white and even a little blue.

And that thing’s eyes were crimson red.
