Chapter 161 Who Dares to Disturb Me?
boom!
Taking advantage of the swaying of the carriage, Jiang Yueming switched places with Chen Qingling, lying down on the bottom and letting her lie on top.
He finally managed to free his hand to pull back the carriage curtain, ready to berate the driver, only to suddenly discover that the driver had been shot and killed!
"Stay here and don't move!" Jiang Yueming instructed Chen Qingling, then moved her aside and jumped out of the car.
Swish!Swish!
As soon as Jiang Yueming got off the carriage, several sharp arrows pierced the air and attacked, followed by a series of battle shouts and the sounds of weapons clashing.
His eyes narrowed, and he dodged the arrows several times. Then, he quickly approached the carriage where Ye Mo was.
"Ye Mo!" Jiang Yueming pulled back the curtain and went inside to check if she was alright, but her expression quickly froze.
Because she fell asleep…
"You can still sleep under these circumstances, I'm truly impressed," Jiang Yueming said with a laugh, tapping his head.
No matter how loud the fighting was outside, Ye Mo remained sound asleep, undisturbed by any external noise.
Jiang Yueming looked at Ye Mo's angelic sleeping face, smiled knowingly, and quietly stayed by her side.
He knew Ye Mo was tired. She was always the first to step forward whenever there was danger along the way, so it was a rare opportunity for her to get some rest.
If any fool dares to approach this carriage, Jiang Yueming guarantees he'll be sent to meet the King of Hell immediately!
Jiang Yueming's gaze suddenly fell on a few stray hairs near Ye Mo's lips. He gently tucked them away and couldn't help but laugh, "Looks like you like to eat hair when you sleep."
CRACK! CRACK!
Suddenly, a gong sounded outside the carriage. Jiang Yueming's smile vanished immediately, and she stepped out of the carriage to look for the person striking the gong.
He wanted to see who dared to disturb Ye Mo's sleep!
"Hey, you gong-banging guy, if you keep banging it, I'll break your hand!" Jiang Yueming said fiercely, his gaze fixed on a man in brown cloth not far away.
The man was holding a gong mallet when he noticed Jiang Yueming's arrogant attitude.
Not to be outdone, he gripped the gong mallet tightly and pounded it incessantly, the sound growing louder with each beat.
"What? You brat! What can you do to me?"
"What an ignorant brat! Doesn't he know what it means to command a battle by banging a gong?! You think you can break my hand? Bah! What kind of thing are you?!"
The man banging the gong mocked Jiang Yueming from a distance.
He was the bandit leader who attacked the caravan; his name was Zhang Qing, and his strength was at the late stage of the Condensation Realm.
He had been robbing and plundering in Tiger Head Mountain for so many years, and he had never seen a brat as arrogant as Jiang Yueming.
They even threatened to break his hand? What a fool's dream!
Faced with Zhang Qing's mockery, Jiang Yueming gritted her teeth, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
He couldn't contain his boiling anger. He used to have great self-control, but this time, with Ye Mo behind him, he really couldn't stand it anymore!
"Fine! You've got guts! You just wait!" Jiang Yueming said, turning back into the carriage.
Seeing Jiang Yueming run away, Zhang Qing's lips curled into a contemptuous smile. He muttered to himself, "Tch, what a coward. If he could break through that barrier, those damned bodyguards' defensive circle would be a nightmare."
"You think you're worthy to talk to me? My men would have killed you long ago!"
After cursing Jiang Yueming, Zhang Qing continued to beat the gong and direct his troops to besiege the escort team.
"Uncle Zhao, how about we use the镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) from the Ancient Realm?"
Seeing that the battle was gradually going against them, Li Jian asked.
I don't know where the bandit leader of Tiger Head Mountain learned his troop deployment tactics, which left their caravan helpless.
In the midst of the chaotic battle, Zhao Yuan killed dozens of bandits in succession. He retreated slightly to Li Jian's side, his brows furrowed as he looked at the unfavorable situation and hesitated.
If they were to send out masters from the Primordial Realm now, it would be tantamount to prematurely revealing their true strength, as they still have three days' journey to the Holy Dragon Empire.
Who knows how many dangers lie ahead? We've only just encountered a few problems and we're already using our trump card. What will we do when we face life-or-death situations in the future?
"Uncle Zhao, please make a decision quickly!" Li Jian said anxiously as he watched one of his disciples collapse.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Zhang Qing in the distance, saying, "Friend from the 'He' character, would you like to share a bowl of water with me?"
"Do you think it'll work?" Zhang Qing asked with a sinister grin as he heard the slang used by镖师 (bodyguards/escorts).
If the two sides were evenly matched, there would still be room for negotiation. But now it is clearly a one-sided crushing victory, and they still want to drink water together?
Grandpa will make sure you can't even smell water!
Zhang Qing's tough stance enraged Zhao Yuan, who retorted, "If you want to use weeds or cheap cigarettes, don't say we're not showing any mercy to our friends. If you want to be attacked, be prepared to regret it."
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
This time, Zhang Qing didn't directly answer Zhao Yuan. Instead, he banged his hand gong, and the entire Tiger Head Mountain bandits immediately attacked the caravan like hungry wolves.
Although the caravan was far stronger than the bandits, it was still outnumbered and at a significant disadvantage in terms of formation.
Just three breaths later, the bandits broke through several lines of defense and approached the very center of the caravan, where a priceless sedan chair was parked, which was also where Ye Mo and Chen Qingling's family were located.
For mountain bandits, it's not just about money anymore.
"Brothers! It's a woman! I saw a woman in the carriage!"
"Go for it! There are wives and money!"
"Kill! Rob the silver and seize the women!"
"..."
The woman completely ignited the evil thoughts in the bandits' bones, making them charge forward even more fiercely and fearlessly.
"Uncle Zhao! Give the order! We really can't hold them off any longer!"
Despite his numerous injuries, Li Jian still protected the sedan chair behind him and shouted.
Zhao Yuan, covered in blood, was also fiercely protecting Chen Qingling and her family.
Seeing that the situation was completely hopeless, he gritted his teeth and took out a chimney to signal.
"Zhang Qing! You try banging that broken gong again, you son of a bitch!"
Before Zhao Yuan could pull the fuse, a cold voice suddenly resounded through the sky, and a man in a golden and blue immortal robe stood on one leg with his hands behind his back on the carriage.
He stared coldly at Zhang Qing, and circles of pale golden spiritual energy emanated from his body. In a few flashes, he was in front of Zhang Qing.
"Should I do it for you, or will you do it yourself?"
Jiang Yueming put on the ice mask and transformed into Jiang Yue's appearance. Zhang Qing naturally recognized the ancestor in front of him and immediately knelt down on the ground.
"Jiang Wushen! Spare me! I was blind and ignorant! I didn't mean to offend you!"
"Please, be magnanimous and forgive me!"
Zhang Qing now looked extremely humble, begging for mercy, completely unlike his previous arrogance.
He knew the power of Jiang Wushen's ruthless methods; three years ago, their Tiger Head Mountain was among the first places to be wiped out.
Zhang Qing will never forget that day when Jiang Yue and six others searched the entire mountain in just a quarter of an hour.
From more than 30,000 people to 700, his decades-old stronghold was wiped out by Jiang Yue without warning!
"Enough! I'll only give you three seconds, don't force me to take action!" Jiang Yueming said impatiently and angrily.
He would absolutely not allow anyone to disturb Ye Mo's rest!
