I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Chapter 464 - 287: Escort Team, Bandits (Part 2)

Being qualified as an escort meant they had martial skills, and the Yun Teng Escort Agency’s escorts slashed with their blades, leaving the bandits unable to defend or evade. In an instant, many bandits were cut down with their necks slashed or arms severed, suffering severe injuries.

But ordinary martial artists, no matter how skilled, have a flaw; once they face multiple attackers, it’s hard to defend and avoid injuries.

No matter how masterful one’s skills are, they still fear blades.

Just as an escort from Yun Teng Escort Agency swung his sword to block a bandit’s attack, a spear suddenly pierced him, entering his body effortlessly.

"Ugh!" The escort cried out in pain, with no time to react as several blades descended upon him, instantly cutting him down into a corpse.

This road was the only path to the Central Plains, and with the melee on the official road, Qin Yuesheng and Bai Ningxuan had no way to proceed on horseback unless they could scatter both groups, clearing the path.

"Damn bandits." Gao Chu, leader of the Yun Teng Escort Agency, was enraged upon seeing several of his brothers killed and leaped into action with a silver spear, charging at the bandits.

His spear skills were swift, and in a blink, he unleashed several spear flowers, swiftly killing three bandits with a single breath.

Entering the densest area of bandits, he was inevitably attacked from all sides. Several bandits, their eyes bloodshot from killing, saw him fall and, without thinking, raised their blades to attack Gao Chu from behind.

Bang!

Ordinarily, a blow like that would mean certain death for a normal person.

But Gao Chu, after taking several hits, only had his clothes torn, with a few white marks on his skin. He was an external training martial artist.

An external training martial artist can face a hundred men alone. Gao Chu swept his spear sideways, slashing through several throats with its sharp tip, then grabbed a bandit’s neck with his left hand and snapped it forcefully.

This brave man left no advantage for the bandits, who fell one after another to his silver spear.

The bandit leader couldn’t stand aside any longer. Gao Chu was an external training martial artist, and sending more men forward would only lead to needless deaths.

Suddenly, the plump bandit leader began to move his massive body, wielding a Mountain-Opening Axe, charging fiercely at Gao Chu.

His weight was considerable, and as he charged, he resembled a heavy truck. Neither bandits nor escorts could withstand his collision and were sent flying. The weaker ones even had their bones broken by his impact.

"Let me be your opponent!" The plump leader charged up to Gao Chu, lifting his Mountain-Opening Axe to strike him down.

This Mountain-Opening Axe weighed over 200 pounds, and its downward force was formidable. A person with such strength was either naturally gifted or an external training martial artist.

Gao Chu’s expression turned serious, as he placed his silver spear horizontally in an attempt to block the axe.

Boom!

The entire spear bent visibly under the pressure, and Gao Chu’s arms tingled, nearly losing his grip on his weapon.

"I’m an external training martial artist too," the plump man shouted fiercely, swiftly retracting his axe and then swinging it horizontally in a spinning motion.

The swing was like a gale sweeping away leaves, instantly decapitating an escort who failed to evade. His head rolled to the ground, leaving a bowl-sized bloody wound on his neck.

The wind howled fiercely!

Facing another axe strike from the plump leader, Gao Chu knew that, strength for strength, he was not a match for this opponent.

Those who wield spears value agility and versatility; they cannot compete directly with such a heavily built bandit. Instantly, Gao Chu used the spear’s elasticity to vault high, dodging the flying axe blade, and thrust his spear at the plump leader’s face.

Unexpectedly, the plump leader grinned strangely, suddenly opened his mouth, and precisely bit down on the tip of Gao Chu’s spear.

Crunch, crunch, crunch!

Several bites reduced the spearhead to fragments in his mouth.

"What?!" Seeing the opponent’s iron teeth, Gao Chu’s face turned incredibly shocked. What kind of skill is this, so terrifying?

"I’ve honed my Iron Teeth Skill quite well," the plump man chuckled, spitting out the spear bits.

Before Gao Chu could think of creating distance, the plump leader seized him by the ankle and heaved him to the ground.

Gao Chu landed face-first, and though an external training martial artist, he was badly shaken. But it wasn’t over; the plump leader lifted his axe, ready to deal a fatal blow. The blade, infused with fine iron to cleave through an external martial artist’s body, was unguarded by Gao Chu, and was about to sever his head.

Bang!

At this critical moment, a silver light sliced through the air, hitting the plump man’s hand, severing it completely.

"Ah!" The unexpected catastrophe caught the plump man by surprise, and he screamed as his axe flew off, the blade missing Gao Chu’s head and hitting the ground, sparing his life.

Bai Ningxuan turned to Qin Yuesheng. Having seen Qin Yuesheng’s Flying Knife Divine Skill before, he assumed it was Qin Yuesheng aiding from the shadows when the plump man’s hand suddenly got severed.

But Qin Yuesheng shook his head, "Don’t look at me, it wasn’t me."

Just then, he keenly sensed a powerful presence rapidly approaching. The skill that severed the plump man’s hand was undoubtedly the work of that person.
