THE SKY GOD SWORDSMAN
33. That Step

" Chairman, we've been undercover like this for 5 days, which I wonder why there are still those who rob us, even though we've more than ten times destroyed them, means this area is not safe." Yang Chen spoke his mind.

" I also think the same, all this time the people here live uncomfortably, how can the region progress if the security is bad like this, he said, at first I suspected the information about the number of the rioters was wrong." Zhuang Shing could not believe that in the Huitong area there were so many thieves.

Zhuang Shing and Yang Chen had been 5 days riding in a carriage to disguise themselves as merchants passing through the precarious streets of the Huitong region.

So far they have passed through various roads that are dangerous for traders and merchants to pass.

As a result they managed to lure the begal and robbers who often act in the region.

From the disguise they both have defeated 11 groups of begal and robbers who according to information classified as sadistic and cruel.

" What leader should we go through on a more vulnerable and more lonely road" Yang Chen said.

" Good och ..idea.., our uncle coachman to the road to fenghuang mountain!". Zhuang Shing told his coachman.

After walking roughly a distance of 10 kilo meters Zhuang Shing and Yang Chen sensed suspicious movements.

" Some are spying on us," Zhuang Shing smiled.

" It looks like this is the chief's big fish." Answer Yang Chen.

" Right, the movements are more refined and powerful, I suspect they are from a group that is greater than ever before." Zhuang Shing slightly analyzed his opponent candidates.

" Uncle the coachman slowly," said Zhuang Shing.

" Good sir..." The driver answered briefly.

" We don't understand the road and the environment, but I don't think it's a problem." Zhuang Shing.

They moved very slowly until finally there was a wider part of the forest and a wider road.

" We'll just stop here!." Zhuang Shing's Order.

Zhuang Shing used three luxurious carriages to disguise himself as a merchant.

The three coachmen who controlled the horse carriage were more silent, they had already experienced this situation eleven times and had seen for themselves the prowess of the two warriors they were transporting.

After a long stop, slowly from the front appeared hundreds of robbers, exactly 350 of their robbers walked calmly towards the train.

" Looking at the way they approach us, it seems to have a lot of confidence." Yang Chen said while watching the robbers.

" yes, large numbers and strong groups make them overconfident." Zhuang Shing replied with a small smile.

After their distance was close, a clear and powerful voice cried out.

" Give me your money, possessions and women, and leave this place safe." Their leaders shouted loudly.

Zhuang Shing who was dressed in the merchant's clothes went down quietly then replied: "We have not brought any treasure nor any woman."

" Hahaha." The robber chief was angry.

" Kill 'em" The creepy man shouted furiously.

" I...!." The cries of the robbers echoed.

Zhuang Shing exerted a high deep energy in both of his palms with an ice elemental stance creating tens and hundreds of crystal needles then aimed at them.

While walking Zhuang Shing shot out the crystal needles from his palm.

Tens to hundreds of crystal needles shot out at lightning speed piercing through the bodies of the robbers who were moving towards the carriage and himself.

" Whuuss."

" Whuuss."

" Aack."

The strength of the energy in Zhuang Shing made each ice crystal penetrate backwards to the tune of three people at once.

Zhuang Shing did not stop there until he continued to do so in all directions where there were members of the robber.

The screams of the robbers' voices echoed, but Zhuang Shing did not care that he continued to do so, until none of the robbers were still standing there.

One group of robbers had perished in just a matter of minutes, not even Yang Chen had gotten off the horse carriage.

They died with bodies pierced by hundreds of sharp and hard crystal needles making the bodies similar to sieves, due to the many wounds that pierced through them.

The three drivers who witnessed it held their breaths and felt fear, even though this was the umpteenth time, but they still felt the horror.

Yang Chen watched the abilities of the sect head with a feeling of admiration, although he had seen it often, but still could not suppress that feeling.

He concluded Zhuang Shing's idea to disguise himself as a merchant this time as a surefire step in order to quell the beggars, robbers and rioters.

From the information that the two of them could as a whole the rioters in the Huitong region numbered 13 groups, thus there was now only one group left that they had not yet been wiped out.

*********

While Zhuang An with the group had already far left YongFu territory and almost entered Huitong territory.

" Steacher Zhuang... May I ask?." Fan Wei tried to get close to Zhuang An after his coachman replaced the position of controlling the horse.

" May you please "Zhuang An replied calmly.

" How can those sky sword sects become such great warriors ?." Fan Wei's

" For that there are at least three reasons the first science and the book are taught, both abundant resources, the third high spirit." Zhuang An replied casually without thinking much.

Zhuang An explained in the Sky Sword Sect differently from the other sects.

If in another sect expert swordsmen were seen as warriors with quite high tiers, it was not the case with the sky sword sect, where the expert swordsman is the lowest level for the swordsman who can come out to carry out the mission.

That was because in the celestial sword sect the proficient swordsmen or also called titled swordsmen numbered in the tens of thousands.

Even for qualified warriors, or also called king warriors, the number also reaches thousands.

While warriors or sometimes referred to as holy warriors number in the hundreds.

So it is appropriate that the sky sword sect is said to be the strongest sect of the white stream.

"" Stop." Suddenly Zhuang An shouted making all shocked and alert.

" What's up ?." Xie Shen asked Zhuang An.

" There are robbers stalking us, they're carrying a lot of long-range weapons, we're not getting close to the range of the arrows." Zhuang An replied.

After counting all the robbers from a distance Zhuang An concluded his number of them were about 150 people with diverse abilities, ranging from third-rate swordsmen to expert swordsmen and 3 proficient swordsmen.

" Young Master better calm down inside and don't get out of the train a lot of dangerous arrows." Zhuang An gave He Yin a suggestion.

The carriage He Yin was wearing was strong enough to withstand the attacking arrows so it did not worry about Zhuang An too much.

Other than Zhuang An, everyone was quite agitated due to mental and physical exhaustion as well this became the third time's attack in just one trip.
