Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning

Chapter 135: Chapter 113: The Strong Man Robs the Way! _2

Some places relatively close to Luoxia City were indeed safe.

Occasionally, when passing areas where the Green Forest Road held sway, upon seeing the Ziyang Escort Agency flag, these people would stealthily retract their thorny strips, pretending not to see.

Thus, after three or four days of journey, everything was normal. The rest spots along the way were chosen through consultation between Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun.

All were long-established inns, though not necessarily all were entirely familiar, but they were well-known.

Liu Mo, this person, truly lived up to his name, exceedingly taciturn.

Wherever Su Mo said to stay, he stayed; when Su Mo said to quicken the pace, he quickened the pace; when Su Mo said to rest, he rested.

Surprisingly, there was no disagreement with Su Mo’s decisions.

This made Su Mo feel that this journey would go much more smoothly.

After all, the guard team was not from their escort agency; Su Mo initially worried about a potential dispute over leadership.

After all, this is no trifling matter; at times, even if you are well-known, you don’t manage everything.

On Jianghu, there are often such people who, no matter how great your reputation, dare to test you.

Facing such individuals, one could only prove oneself through martial arts.

Now encountering someone like Liu Mo, Su Mo felt a great deal of relief.

On that day, while traveling along the side of the lush mountains, suddenly a squad member quickly rushed back, hands clasped in salute:

“Chief, there is a roadblock ahead; there are two thorny strips laid across the road!”

Su Mo slightly raised his eyebrows, Yang Xiaoyun spoke up, “Be alert, show all your tactics.”

“Yes!”

The associates in the escort agency immediately roared in agreement.

Laying thorny strips on the road was an unwritten rule; mountain bandits intercepting convoys would lay two thorny strips to announce their presence, letting those in Jianghu know they’ve encountered a ’roadblock.’

Preparations would be necessitated for an encounter.

The name of Ziyang Escort Agency, after all, could not intimidate everyone.

This was also implicit in the theme.

Su Mo glanced at Yang Xiaoyun, “Sister Xiao Yun, any clues about this territory?”

“I travel this road less often, not much insight.”

Previously, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun traveled back and forth to Tianyu City, always in a hurry, paying little attention to such details.

And the people in the mountains seeing travelers like them usually wouldn’t bother blocking.

Few in number, carrying little wealth, clearly in hurried passage—if not out of desperation, it truly wouldn’t merit the time spent.

As Yang Xiaoyun spoke, she glanced at Liu Mo, “What does Chief Liu think?”

“Nobody has ever been based in these mountains, previously I’ve been here several times with the Heavenly Gate Escort Agency, always peaceful.”

Liu Mo looked at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, then quietly moved closer, “What should we do?”

“First, let’s see who they are before deciding.”

Su Mo smiled, “The stripes are laid out; we can’t simply ignore them. Get your men ready too…”

“Understood.”

Liu Mo agreed, then promptly gave his orders.

Suddenly, the originally loose guard formation immediately tightened; whether the escorts from the agency or the guard team, the gleams in their eyes sharpened.

Su Mo led on horseback, followed closely by Yang Xiaoyun.

Liu Mo stayed right by the escort carts, guarding them tightly.

After a short distance, indeed, two thorny strips were laid across the road ahead.

Su Mo, with his profound Inner Strength of the Longxiang Wisdom Perfection, barely had to listen before he knew the enemy’s hiding spots; he promptly gestured to stop the carts and instructed:

“Circle the wheels.”

“Circle the wheel” is a term in Jianghu, meaning to arrange the escort carts in a circular formation, always ready to defend against enemies.

Following this phrase should come “display the weapons against the wind,” which means to brandish the weapons for defense.

However, since the opponents had not revealed themselves, the part about drawing weapons could not follow yet.

Those under Liu Mo, often collaborating with the escort agency, naturally understood the meaning of these terms and immediately arranged the vehicle fleet into a circle, vigilantly guarding.

Just as the carriages moved, from both sides of the road, fifty or so burly men emerged.

The leader was a man in his thirties, with a fair complexion, a shadow of stubble on his chin, and a scar across his face adding a certain ferocity, holding a Big Ring Blade in hand.

Nine golden rings chimed cacophonously as he stepped forward.

Yang Xiaoyun glanced at Su Mo, then clasped her hands and said:

“We are merely making a living escorting goods and have inadvertently disturbed this sacred ground on our journey. We implore everyone for understanding.”

“Hey!”

The man glanced at Yang Xiaoyun, ignoring her, instead focusing on Su Mo, “I see your escort flag reads Ziyang Escort Agency?”

“That is correct.”

“Good.”

The man laughed heartily, “I’ve heard of Su Mo, the young Chief of Ziyang Escort Agency, renowned for his supreme martial arts, made a name at Xuanji Valley with a grand display of prowess. I personally have a passion for martial arts since youth and learned three styles of Blade Technique. Although I am not well-renowned in Jianghu, I specialize in challenging those who are merely known by their fame.

“Come then? Which one of you is Lord Su?

“The carriage presses down the road, and horse crushes the grass; if you wish to pass through here, let’s see what skills your men truly possess.”

Hearing this, Su Mo was silent for a while, thinking how a straightforward escort task could suddenly encounter such a self-proclaimed hero.
