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

Chapter 142: Chapter 115 Encounter_3

The convoy has already encountered many situations along the way, and their reactions by now could be said to be extremely natural.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly burst through the woods, and with a flicker, appeared in front of the convoy.

When they landed, instead of standing, they fell flat on their face, sprawling perfectly.

For a moment, the entire convoy fell silent.

Peering out, they saw that the person faced the ground, only revealing a back view, lying prone in a ’frog’ position as if temporarily unable to rise.

Yet a voice emanated from them.

Listening closely, everyone heard the person faintly crying out for help:

“Save me…”

Su Mo’s mouth twitched, and his eyes shifted toward the woods on one side.

Within the woods, a black-clothed man was now stepping out slowly, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally resting on the two large banners.

“Ziyang Escort Agency?”

His voice was neither sinister nor bizarre, just somewhat deep, making it difficult to distinguish his tone.

Su Mo quietly watched the man but did not speak.

The man sighed: “I thought I only had to kill one, but it turns out a whole team popped up… And what’s more, quite a troublesome one at that.”

He directed his gaze toward the convoy: “Where is the Chief of the Ziyang Escort Agency?”

“I am here.”

Su Mo shook his head slightly and cupped his fists in greeting.

“Are you Su Mo?”

The black-clothed man scrutinized Su Mo for a moment, then smiled slightly: “Good, today’s matter was originally irrelevant to you all, but since you have seen it, can Lord Su give me a reason not to kill you?”

Su Mo sighed: “There are many reasons, do you truly wish to hear them?”

“Mmm, I have always believed in the saying, ’Heed advice and you’ll have a full belly.’”

This black-cloaked man sure spoke a lot.

Su Mo looked at the man queerly and responded with a smile: “We are merely passing by, accidentally stumbled upon this incident, yet we have no relation to it whatsoever. If you two have some feud or entanglement that needs to be resolved, please feel free to do so. We can completely pretend we saw nothing…

“How’s that for a reason?”

“That’s not enough to convince me.”

The black-clothed man shook his head: “If everyone’s words could be trusted in this world, there would be no such thing as killing to silence someone.”

“Your words are reasonable.”

Su Mo nodded: “As such, the second reason might not be to your liking.”

“But speak freely.”

The black-clothed man gestured with a wave of hand, which carried a certain grace.

Su Mo laughed freely: “You cannot kill us.”

“Reason?”

The black-clothed man was momentarily perplexed.

“That is the reason.”

Su Mo spoke earnestly.

“…”

Silence.

The silence did not last long; the black-clothed man suddenly burst into hearty laughter: “Interesting! Indeed worthy of being Su, the Chief of the Escort who broke through Youquan Sect, your martial arts aside, at least you are quite amusing.”

But Su Mo shook his head: “Those who like to speak the truth are not particularly interesting.”

The black-clothed man did not require Su Mo’s realization; he just stood quietly there, silent, watching Su Mo.

In an instant, the rain seemed to take on a few more degrees of gravity.

Yang Xiaoyun subconsciously gripped her Dragon Abyss Spear tighter, Liu Mo’s two Purple Gold Concave Maces were at the ready, and in his lackluster eyes, a battle spirit had secretly filled.

The escort masters in the escort agency protected the carts, the Guard Team unsheathed their blades half an inch, poised and ready.

Suddenly, the black-clothed man made his move; he turned and ran, and within a single step, he had charged into the woods. With another flash, he had disappeared without a trace.

Not even… leaving behind a parting phrase.

“…”

Su Mo sat on the horse, momentarily puzzled.

Looking at the direction where the black-clothed man fled, he was at a loss for what to say for a long while.

Turning his head to glance at Yang Xiaoyun and Liu Mo, he found their eyes equally filled with bewilderment.

What script is this?

Su Mo pondered the words spoken just moments ago, seemingly in deep thought.

Casting a glance at the person on the ground, Su Mo decided and ordered the convoy to move on: “Let’s go.”

He did not intend to look at that person or inquire into the specifics of this matter.

And he preferred not to pursue the black-clothed man.

Although the likelihood was small, if the black-clothed man’s aim was a feint to draw them away, with the real target being the escort carts, to pursue would play right into his hands.

As for the specifics of this matter…

What did it have to do with Su Mo? They were merely passing by on an escort job.

Having encountered such a person on the road, scared away the black-clothed man, and effectively saving a life, there was truly no need to probe any further.

However, as Su Mo was ready to leave, the man on the ground strained to rise:

“Wait… wait a moment…”

He lifted his head, and the mud on his face was washed away by the rain.

Su Mo looked him up and down, then raised an eyebrow: “It’s you?”

Upon closer inspection, this person turned out to be the one they encountered coming down from Huihe Pier, hiding from the disciples of the Heavenly Blade Sect.

At the time, Su Mo even thought he was a thief, and before leaving, the man gave their convoy a particular glance.

Su Mo had mentioned this to Yang Xiaoyun at the time, but since the man hadn’t appeared again, it became an unresolved issue.

But who would have thought the next encounter would be like this?

As Su Mo was surprised, Liu Mo’s voice reached him: “Young Leader Ji?”

“…Who?”

Su Mo looked back at Liu Mo.

Liu Mo fell silent for a moment before whispering: “Ji Feiyang.”

As Su Mo looked towards Ji Feiyang with a puzzled glance, his expression became enigmatic.

He hesitated for a moment before taking an elixir from his bosom and tossing it to him.

Ji Feiyang instinctively caught it and was about to speak when Su Mo already waved his hand:

“Young Leader Ji, we part ways here!

“Move out, move out! Let’s go quickly!”

“…”

Ji Feiyang opened his mouth, not managing to say a word when the convoy hastily passed by and disappeared from view in an instant.

He clenched his fist, then rolled up from the ground, looked at the elixir in his hand, and gently expelled a breath. With a final sigh, he entered the woods, utilizing Qinggong, and in a stumbling moment, he too vanished without a trace.

…

…

Deep in the forest, on a tree branch, the black-clothed man stood on the limb and let out a long sigh.

“Thank goodness I’m clever enough to have slain three Commanders with a single sword. To fight such a character would be sheer folly…

“From what he said, it seems it was just a fluke.

“Good, there’s no need to bother scheming against such a formidable opponent…

“But to have retreated unscathed from such a person’s hands and to have probed the true state of affairs, I am indeed very clever.”
