Chapter 595: Mortal Methods

Should I be reminded?

This is not a mortal's perception. Even if Xu Hei reminds him, what should he say? Could it be that he intuitively believed that there was danger ahead?

Xu Hei pondered for a moment, but said nothing and followed the convoy forward.

The two bodyguards had already stood on the bridge in advance, checking the rows left and right. After confirming that there was no obstruction, they said hello, and then the carriage slowly drove up.

Under the bridge, the river flowed slowly. Heavy rain fell upstream, causing the water surface to turn turbid yellow.

As usual, Xu Hei was at the end of the team, and Aaron and Zeng Ting stopped bickering. The two of them stood around, alert to their surroundings.

When the waiting carriage came to the middle of the bridge.

Suddenly, Xu Hei's eyes narrowed: "Here he comes!"

"Choke choke choke!"

I saw several steel knives suddenly appearing on the bridge. They were swept away like a hob, cutting off all the limbs of the horse, and the wheels of the cart were also chopped over.

The horse looked up to the sky and neighed, then rolled directly to the ground.

When one of the warriors couldn't dodge and was about to have his leg chopped off, Lei Hu flicked his wrist, and the scimitar in his hand flashed like lightning, blocking the knife.

"Everyone on alert!"

Leihu roared angrily and drew his sword.

Then, only a few loud rumblings were heard, and a violent explosion suddenly occurred in the river. The turbid river water was blasted into the sky and fell like rain. Among them were five water ghosts dressed in black, rising into the sky from the river, mixed with rainwater, and headed towards everyone.

At the same time, several holes were blown out of the bridge. Two men in black emerged from under the bridge, holding bright swords in their hands. Without saying a word, they rushed towards the people in the escort agency.

The members of the Flying Tiger Escort Agency were not vegetarians either. They drew their weapons and the two sides soon started fighting together.

This is the first large-scale conflict since Xu Hei joined.

"Brother Xu, be careful!"

A reminder came from the side. Aaron blocked it with his sword and bounced a thrown dart away. He glared at the man in black, rushed forward and struck out with his sword.

Xu Hei also pulled out an iron sword and started fighting with the water bandits.

In the mortal world, ordinary water bandits are really no match for the Flying Tiger Escort Agency, but this time, the opponent is obviously a tough one, with tacit cooperation, well-trained, and organized advance and retreat. It feels like a regular army! After several rounds, only two people died.

While everyone was fighting fiercely, two more men in black ran from a distance and ran towards the box of goods. These two men were the two who had escaped before.

Lei Hu's expression changed and he shouted: "Watch the goods!"

At this moment, Xu Hei happened to be the closest, so he did his part and blocked the front. However, he still left a loophole because he wanted to see what was inside.

While he was struggling with one person, another person rushed to the box, took out a large bundle, tied it directly to the box, and lit it with fire.

"What the hell?"

Xu Hei couldn't help but be startled. Everyone looked over and flew back at the same time.

"Not good!" Lei Hu exclaimed.

The next second——

"Boom!!"

With a shocking loud noise, flames shot into the sky and waves of air took off! The terrifying explosion happened right in front of Xu Hei's eyes. The big bundle was none other than gunpowder!

The man in black who lit the gunpowder was the closest and had no time to evacuate. He was blown away on the spot. His body was torn into pieces and blown into pieces.

Xu Hei and the other man were not much better. They were also blown away into the distance. The man was covered in blood and fell directly into the water. Xu Hei reached out and grabbed the railing beside the bridge to prevent himself from falling.

A big hole was also blown out of the stone bridge. The escort car was completely scrapped. The contents of the box were scattered all over the floor, fell into the water, or were blown into pieces and shapeless.

No one would have thought that someone would take out such a bundle of gunpowder and detonate it without fear of death!

Everyone realized that these men in black were not water bandits. The water bandits were robbing people for money. They were not looking for money at all!

Their purpose was simply to destroy the things they were escorting, even to the point of death.

Xu Hei climbed up from the edge of the bridge. He looked quite miserable, with a gray face and torn clothes, but there were no obvious injuries on his body.

Only then did Xu Hei discover that what was being consigned on the car was actually some artillery pieces, muskets, repeating crossbows, and some scattered parts. Their structures were sophisticated and did not look like the works of mortals. They should be the products of the Puppet Sect.

No wonder Aaron said it was something from the Immortal family.

But the difference is that mortals seem to be able to use these things.

"No!"

Lei Hu rushed over, picked up the blown parts, and pieced them together, his face becoming increasingly pale. He knelt on the ground, his eyes dull, as if he had lost his soul.

"It's over, it's over, the Flying Tiger Escort Agency is over." Lei Hu murmured to himself.

Li Fei grabbed a dying man in black and shouted, "Say! Who are you?"

Pulling off the black cloth on her face, the person in black turned out to be a woman. She stared at Li Fei, sighed, and said: "Traitor Li Fei, you... will not die well!"

After saying that, the female thief closed her eyes and lost her breath.

After an inspection, it was found that two of the five people in the escort agency were injured, one of the three guests ran away, and one Xu Hei was injured.

Five of the men in black died and three escaped.

Everyone picked up all the goods and pieced them together. In the end, only a pile of broken parts remained.

Lei Hu stared at Aaron and said, "I asked you to check in the water before, why didn't you find it?"

Aaron felt aggrieved, lowered his head and said, "How do I know they hid it so well?"

"It's useless to say these things. If the goods of the immortals are damaged, we are all dead. No one will survive." Li Fei gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that we can only become bandits in the future?"

"It's good to be a bandit. You should pray that you will not be held accountable by the immortals and die without a complete body." Zeng Ting said dejectedly.

At this point, everyone is no longer hiding it.

Xu Hei learned that this batch of goods is a lethal weapon made by the immortals, which can be used by mortals and even pose a threat to monks.

Once put into the battle of mortals, with these weapons, the combat effectiveness of the mortal army will skyrocket. If it is a sneak attack, it can even injure the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.

This is undoubtedly a revolutionary creation.

As for the traitors... Xu Hei didn't ask, but he could vaguely guess something.

"It's over now, Brother Hu, why don't we run?" Li Fei suggested.

After Lei Hu looked around, his face suddenly calmed down and he lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, there is still a chance to make up for it!"

Lei Hu looked around and made sure that there was no one around. He clapped his hands and howled.

After a while, there was a sudden movement in the bushes in the distance. A new carriage was seen pulling goods, and behind it was also a group of boxes, which were larger and denser.
