339: Chapter 325: The Mountain Girl, A Hero Saves the Beauty!
“Just ahead, there is a herd of deer, let’s see who will claim their life today!”
Soone nearby shouted at the top of their lungs.
The group of riders spurred their horses into a wild gallop toward the distance.
Wang Ziteng, who was closely following Zhang San, soon found that between himself and Zhang San, several unfamiliar horsen had suddenly appeared, blocking the way.
As expected!
Wang Ziteng knew everything was as Zhang San had anticipated, but he couldn’t make his act too obvious, so he first tried to get closer to Zhang San.
Later on, it seed due to his poor riding skills, he gradually fell behind the group.
anwhile, Zhang San acted as if he was thrilled at the sight of prey, preoccupied with thoughts of the reward.
After a short while, Zhang San pretended as if he had just realized he had been separated from Wang Ziteng.
Although, in truth, Zhang San knew from the start that Wang Ziteng had been cut off from him.
At this mont, Zhang San noticed that the number of hunters nearby had significantly dwindled.
Only a sparse one or two could be seen, and only from a remote distance.
As for the earlier claim that there was a herd of deer ahead, it was indeed true.
However, as everyone had rushed forward, the deer had quickly been dispersed.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Zhang San had casually shot a few arrows, feigning that his archery skills were diocre at best.
Zhang San glanced around and noticed that a piece of bark had suddenly fallen from a large tree, revealing the characters “Shouyang” carved into the trunk beneath the bark.
Zhang San knew this was a sign from the Earth God, indicating that he had entered the territory of Shouyang Mountain.
Indeed, when Zhang San secretly employed the Ninefold Scrutiny, he discovered that many were stealthily observing him from afar.
Zhang San, however, rode at an easy pace, in no rush whatsoever.
The lack of fog ant that he hadn’t reached the ambush site of Zheng Poyue and the others yet.
At that mont, a young mber of the Baili Family approached Zheng Poyue and whispered in his ear, “During our setup, an unknown woman entered into our foggy formation.
What should we do?”
Zheng Poyue sneered and glanced toward the area where the fog formation had been arranged.
“A true man shouldn’t be concerned with insignificant details.
If we startle Zhang San by trying to drive out this woman, it will only cause more trouble.
Stick to the plan!”
“But if we encounter that woman…”
“Whether we encounter her or not, she must die today.
Otherwise, who will bear the consequences if any information leaks?”
The young mber of the Baili Family had no choice but to pass down the orders to the rest.
After all, only mbers of the Baili Family could master the Ninefold Scrutiny.
Although its effects varied from person to person, when it ca to seeing from a distance, the Baili Family was second to none.
In the anti, Zhang San, riding his Black Chi Horse, noticed that the air around him had begun to fill with fog.
Though the initial fog didn’t attract much attention, Zhang San had been waiting for it.
Now that he saw it, he knew, at last, it had co!
He spurred his horse into a furious gallop.
Zhang San swiftly motioned for Hei to take off running, acting as if he had realized sothing was amiss.
After all, the biggest problem for Zhang San would be if he acted as though there was nothing wrong around him.
Seeing Zhang San start to flee, many of those lying in ambush also imdiately pursued him.
During the chase, the fog in the forest grew thicker and thicker.
Soon, Zhang San could barely make out anything beyond ten ters, and further away, everything was a blanket of white.
“Ahead, there seems to be a demon beast, half horse, half human—everyone, be careful!”
Suddenly, soone shouted from a distance.
Then, over a dozen arrows shot toward where Zhang San was.
Zhang San, who had already prepared defenses using Wind Series Techniques around himself, heard the whistling of arrows and imdiately pretended to be hit, “falling” from his horse, while simultaneously giving Hei a pat.
“Pretend to fall.”
Hei didn’t understand why they had to “fall” for no reason, but as a mount, he was very obedient.
At that mont, Zhang San employed the Ninefold Scrutiny and instantly saw several young martial artists in the direction from which the arrows had co, one of whom was a young mber of the Baili Family.
Zhang San had rembered the faces of those young people from the Baili Family.
After all, only by dealing with them first in this place shrouded in fog would it amount to blinding Zheng Poyue and his lot.
Whoosh——
Thump!
The few people who had just shot cold arrows from a distance hadn’t even had ti to realize what was happening when they felt sothing explode around them.
When they turned their heads to look, all their faces changed drastically.
The young man from the Baili Family, who had just been reporting Zhang San’s location to them, was hit square in the body by an arrow from nowhere.
At this mont, it wasn’t just the person; even the horse’s head beneath them had been shattered by that arrow.
The arrow had shattered both man and horse, alarming several onlookers into a pale frenzy.
“What do we do now?”
“Without the people from the Baili Family in this fog, we can’t find where Zhang San is.”
“Stay calm, I reckon soone else discovered Zhang San’s whereabouts.
It’s just that this arrow went astray and happened to kill the person from the Baili Family beside us.
Otherwise, how could Zhang San’s archery be so formidable?”
While nodding in agreent, everyone indeed felt sowhat relieved.
“First, let’s use the Woodcraft Making to inform Zheng Poyue and the others that we’ve shot Zhang San off his horse.
That way, anyone who isn’t riding must be Zhang San!”
Soone imdiately transmitted the ssage.
And Zhang San needed them to spread just such information.
Because after he had left his original position with Hei, it was much safer for him to mount his horse again.
This ti, Zhang San first used the Ninefold Scrutiny to check for any nearby presence.
After spotting soone, he would employ Ninefold Scrutiny again to observe their use of Qi.
It was easy to pinpoint the people from the Baili Family.
After finding them, the next step was one arrow.
After he had continuously shot dead seven people from the Baili Family, Zhang San suddenly noticed a woman in the midst of the foggy formation.
A hidden assassin trying to snare ?
Or a hapless victim deliberately let in to burden further?
But as Zhang San closely examined her with Ninefold Scrutiny, he was inadvertently taken aback.
Zhang San imdiately rode toward the woman’s chamber.
Through the Woodcraft Making capable of transmitting sound over a small area, Zheng Poyue and the others now realized that Zhang San had spotted their chance to encircle and kill him.
However, they couldn’t understand, at that mont, how Zhang San was able to precisely locate the people from the Baili Family and then shoot them down one after another!
So now, as they spread out in search of Zhang San, their target was anyone who couldn’t ride and had to walk on the ground.
And as Zhang San charged toward the woman, an arrow suddenly flew from the distance, heading straight for the woman who had inadvertently entered the fog formation.
Ding——
Zhang San leapt forward, arriving in front of the woman, and with a horizontal blade in his hand, he chopped the incoming arrow in half.
“What a coincidence!”
The woman, looking at Zhang San suddenly appearing before her, shyly lowered her head and said with a chuckle, “It’s no coincidence; I was going back to the Northeast to see my grandfather and heard you were in the Capital, so I took a detour to try and see you.”
As she spoke, she walked over and hugged Zhang San tightly.
“I’ve transford.
Are you happy?”
At that mont, Zhang San was being tightly embraced by the transford Little Fox in his arms and was sowhat breathless.
Why he was breathless, I won’t say.
