Chapter 72 Yuan Xiaodao

Just when the bandit leader was falling.

Seeing that his eldest brother and third brother had gone to the King of Hell to report in an instant. The only remaining fat bandit screamed loudly: "Third brother, eldest brother!" Then he threw the broad-backed broadsword in both hands towards Xu Yang.

In a hurry, although there was no trick to speak of in this throw, he used all his strength and magic power.

The broadsword passed through the void, making a humming sound, as if it was the cry of its owner. The broadsword pierced Xu Yang's chest like an arrow, and in an instant it was close to Xu Yang.

Xu Yang had just shot out three fire cones with all his strength, and it was difficult to dodge the knife in front of him in time due to the momentum of his body rushing forward.

But all this was within Xu Yang's calculations.

At the critical moment, Xu Yang's other hand flashed with silver light, and the fine steel shield was already in his hand. At the same time, the magic power was raised rapidly, and the silver light on the surface of the fine steel shield was shining brightly.

He tilted the fine steel shield to block in front of him, and bent his body slightly downward.

At this moment, Xu Yang suddenly realized that there was another uneasy spiritual pressure flashing behind him.

Everything happened so suddenly, and his body, which was already tilted downward, suddenly leaned down, and the whole person almost fell to the ground. The fine steel shield covered him like a tortoise shell.

The next moment, a dazzling sharp silver light brushed Xu Yang's fine steel shield and passed by.

The sharp spiritual pressure brought by the silver light hit Xu Yang's fine steel shield, making a buzzing sound.

Xu Yang used his other hand to support himself on the ground, barely avoiding falling to the ground. But the mana that was originally over-output in his body just now was hit by this brutal force and rolled violently, and a feeling of vomiting after dizziness came to his heart.

"Just throwing a hidden weapon has such a strong spiritual pressure. Could this person's realm be the Peiyuan realm?" Xu Yang muttered in his heart, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Xu Yang did not have the confidence to fight directly with the Peiyuan realm cultivator.

Then, a clang of metal collision sounded in his ears.

The sharp silver light incredibly shot onto the flying sword.

The sword that was originally as fierce as a tiger turned into a chicken at this moment, and was cut off by the silver light in an instant.

The broken sword was spun in two pieces and flew several feet away, emitting a buzzing sound that seemed to be its last whine.

The sharp silver light did not stop for a moment, drawing a strange white line in the air, and stabbed towards the fat robber opposite.

The robber's attention was on Xu Yang, and he was caught off guard by this sudden attack.

As the white line crossed his neck, a head fell to the ground and rolled on the ground like a ball.

The black cloth that originally wrapped his face also scattered to the side, revealing a pale, bloodless, and dusty twisted face. A pair of terrified eyes gradually became lifeless. A cavity of residual red spurted out from the neck of the headless body, and then fell to the ground with a thud, raising a cloud of dust. The white line galloped without stopping, and just hit a boulder not far behind the robber. A burst of sparks flew, leaving a deep knife mark on the boulder.

It turned out to be a flying knife.

It’s a long story, and all this happened in just two or three breaths. The three robbers who were originally bossy had now fulfilled their promise to die on the same day of the same month of the same year.

Xu Yang was shocked by the scene in front of him. If the silver light just shot at him, it would inevitably be the same end.

He raised his true energy, leaped, and stood up. He moved his wrist towards the scattered Lihuo Cone on the ground and put the Lihuo Cone back into the storage bag. He waved his hand towards the scattered three-section Sanhuan Pestle, and the Sanhuan Pestle merged into one, turning into a long stick and was tightly held in Xu Yang’s hand. With the other hand, he protected the Vajra Shield in front of his chest.

"Friend or foe, why not come out and see him?" Xu Yang said loudly in the direction where the flying knife came from.

Before Xu Yang finished speaking, a man flashed out from behind a big tree not far from the side of the road.

This man was thin and wore a black hat. The hat was pulled down very low, so his face could not be seen clearly. But from his figure and dress, Xu Yang seemed familiar.

A flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he recalled a scene in Pingyun Valley Market not long ago. This man was the one who followed Xu Yang in Pingyun Valley Market not long ago and was escaped by Xu Yang.

This man waved his hand, and a silver light flew up from the ground, and the next moment it came into his palm.

Only then did Xu Yang see clearly that this silver light was originally a delicate silver flying knife only three inches long.

The man on the opposite side turned his hand and put away the flying knife.

"Daoyou, don't panic."

This man said, and walked forward a few steps. When he was closer to Xu Yang, he stopped and took out a jade token from his bosom.

Then he flashed the jade token in front of him and whispered: "My fellow Taoist, we should be family, no need to be so formal."

Xu Yang looked at it carefully.

The front of this jade token was engraved with the words "Yuanchang". It was very similar to the "Yuanchang Merchant Alliance" jade token he had obtained in the Pingyun Valley market not long ago.

"You are from the Yuanchang Merchant Alliance, what's your name?" Xu Yang asked.

"Everyone in the Merchant Alliance calls me Yuan Xiaodao. I was one of the secret deacons in charge of the security of the market in the Yuanchang Merchant Alliance."

As he spoke, Yuan Xiaodao took off his hat, revealing a thin face. This man looked about forty years old. Although his eyes were small, they were unusually bright, and the two black and shiny mustaches on his mouth were very eye-catching.

"So it's Senior Yuan, I'm Xu Yang, sorry for the disrespect." Xu Yang said with a smile. Then he put away the fine steel shield in his hand and put it into the storage bag, while his other hand was still tightly holding the Sanhuan Long Stick.

When he heard the word Xu Yang, Yuan Xiaodao showed a barely perceptible joy on his face.

Seeing that Xu Yang was still holding the long stick in his hand, he looked alert. The man who called himself Yuan Xiaodao smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you still a little confused about why I'm here? Let me explain slowly."

Yuan Xiaodao hesitated for a moment, then said, "These days, the Yuanchang Merchant Alliance has added personnel to maintain security in the Pingyun Valley Market. Although the bandit problem has been greatly reduced, there are still a few daring robbers who pretend to be ordinary merchants to sneak into the market, and then follow the merchants to rob. I am one of the deacons who was ordered to monitor this matter in the market, and I found that someone was secretly following you in the Pingyun Valley Market. Catch the thief and the hider, I will follow you all the way. Unfortunately, near the entrance of the market You found my trail, and I was questioned by the guards of the Merchant Alliance at the entrance of the market, which delayed me for some time. I learned from the steward at the entrance that fellow Daoist should be a guest of our Yuanchang Merchant Alliance. I was even more worried about fellow Daoist's safety, so I hurried all the way here. I happened to see this man trying to hurt fellow Daoist. In broad daylight, seeing that he was wearing a scarf on his head, I thought he must be a robber. He was in a hurry and hit harder, and it was his own fault. "

"So you are also a member of the Merchant Alliance, thank you for your help just now! Please don't worry about the misunderstanding in Pingyun Valley Market."

After Xu Yang finished speaking, he put away the three magic pestles in his hand.

At this time, a yellow shadow flashed in the weeds on the side of the road, and the golden sable "Peach" jumped onto Xu Yang's shoulder.

"Peach" bared its teeth towards the opposite side and made a harsh "squeak", as if it was hostile to Yuan Xiaodao.

"Senior Yuan, don't mind. This little mink is just a pet of mine with low qualifications. It will feel a little uneasy when it meets strangers."

As he said, Xu Yang touched the woolen head of "Pantao" with one hand. "Pantao" calmed down.

"Xiaoxian, this person's origin is unknown, so it's better to be careful." Ah Zhu hidden in Xu Yang's body said.

"Thank you for reminding me. I will be careful and alert."

Because Xu Yang's father left home when he was very young, as the only male in the family, Xu Yang is more mature than his peers. In addition, he spent a decade in the nightmare beast dream. Although Xu Yang still retains his optimistic nature of childishness, his mind is already very calm and mature. So naturally he is very careful of the stranger in front of him who has the power to kill him with one blow.

Yuan Xiaodao on the opposite side couldn't hear the conversation between Ah Zhu and Xu Yang at all.

Yuan Xiaodao put on his hat again and looked at the three broken corpses on the ground. He raised his hand and sprinkled a few talismans, which fell on the corpses.

He made a hand gesture and pointed at the corpse.

The talisman on the corpse exploded with a bang. The next moment, streams of tumbling liquid continued to flow out of the corpse. With a pungent smell, the corpse was completely dissolved, leaving only a few remnants of clothing.

Yuan Xiaodao walked closer to the wreckage and took a closer look. Then he waved his hand, took the long whip used by the three people, and put it in the storage bag. Then he flipped his right palm, and a strong wind swept through, sweeping the ground clean. He swept out several palms in succession, and the strong wind swept through, filling the potholes left by the fight on the road, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Xu Yang asked in confusion: "Why did Senior Yuan destroy the bodies of these three people in a hurry without checking to find out the origins of these three people or their backers?"

After hearing Xu Yang's question, Yuan Xiaodao paused, then smiled and said: "Three thieves, there is no need to worry. Simply dealing with them also saves the trouble of reporting to the Chamber of Commerce. And there are frequent merchants on this trade route. If others see it and spread the matter, it will have an adverse impact on the business of Pingyun Valley Market and the reputation of Yuanchang Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, simple handling is also a rule tacitly agreed by the Chamber of Commerce."

After hearing this, Xu Yang shook his head helplessly. He thought to himself, I didn't expect that Yuanchang Chamber of Commerce, as the top chamber of commerce on Zhongyuan Continent, would also do such a tricky thing.

"I was overthinking."

"It's okay. Brother Xu is so young, but he has such a steady mind. He can deal with the attacks of these three people at the same time and kill two of them. He is a young talent."

"Thank you for the compliment, senior. I just barely protected myself in a critical moment. But the "flying knife skills" you used easily solved one of them. I really admire you."

"Brother Xu, you are joking. I should apologize for almost hurting you with the attack in a hurry."

As he said, Yuan Xiaodao took out a small white jade bottle, poured out a pill from it and placed it on his palm.

"I have a pill to replenish qi and blood here. Just as compensation for the hasty attack just now."

As he said, he spread his palm in front of him, waiting for Xu Yang to take it.

However, Xu Yang did not go forward to take the pill.

"Senior Yuan is too polite. I just lost too much mana for a while. It will be back to normal in a moment."

Seeing Xu Yang was so cautious. Yuan Xiaodao showed a trace of dissatisfaction on his face: "Brother Xu looks down on me, Yuan."

After saying that, he stretched out the index and middle fingers of his other hand to gently pick up the pill in his palm, and then threw it towards Xu Yang.

Xu Yang stretched out his hand and caught the pill in mid-air.
