Chapter 264: 168 Wind and Cloud_2

Xigou felt incredibly awkward inside, but defiantly retorted, "That was a giant wolf. Its howl has magic, it awakened my Bloodline, understand?"

Fang Zhixing rolled his eyes and didn’t bother to continue the idle chatter with Xigou; instead, he hurried along.

The two of them galloped ceaselessly, covering a distance of one hundred thirty li at top speed.

Suddenly ahead, a three-way fork appeared with a tea stand set up by the roadside.

Travelers often stopped here to drink a bowl of tea and rest their feet before moving on.

Fang Zhixing tied up the horses, walked into the tea stand, sat at a table, ordered a pot of tea, and drank leisurely.

Xigou, watching the passersby, questioned, "You don’t even recognize the siblings from Silver Fish Castle; what if you miss them?"

Fang Zhixing paused slightly, then responded, "The mission instructions on the scroll should be well thought out; the issue you raised must have already been considered."

Xigou grunted and replied, "There’s no one watching you right now. If the mission fails, you could totally use this as an excuse."

Fang Zhixing remained unworried, and soon it was midday.

A carriage approached from a fork in the road.

A flag bearing a striking silver fish on a red background was prominently displayed on top of the carriage.

"Silver Fish Castle!"

Xigou suddenly stood up, speechless, "Well, it seems these folks parade their flags when they’re out and about."

Fang Zhixing replied, "They have the power and position, just by flying a flag, not only is no one along the way bold enough to rob them, but they also enjoy many conveniences."

Xigou thought about it and agreed.

The powerful showing their flags when going out always carry prestige wherever they go.

As they communicated telepathically, the carriage stopped in front of the tea stand.

Fang Zhixing observed that there were eight guards, all on horseback, following the carriage.

There was one coachman.

The next moment, a young man and woman emerged from the carriage; the man carried himself with dignity, and the woman was quite attractive.

The group entered the tea stand and sat at two tables to drink tea and rest.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing got up and walked into a nearby grove.

Among the guards was an old man with white-flecked beard who always kept an eye on his surroundings and noticed Fang Zhixing.

"Why isn’t that man walking, what’s he up to in the grove?" the old man frowned and muttered.

A young man by his side responded, "Master, perhaps that person just wants to relieve himself in the woods."

Another middle-aged guard smiled and said, "Old Wang, just relax and drink your tea. We from Silver Fish Castle might not be top-notch in Jianghu, but we’re not someone that just anyone dares to provoke. Have we had any issues along the way?"

The old man pondered, "Better safe than sorry, especially as we get closer to the county. We need to be more cautious."

The middle-aged guard chuckled bitterly, "Oh, you’re too cautious. You’ve had me on edge all this way."

Hearing his words, everyone couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly.

"Old Wang, it’s fine,"

At that moment, Hu Yizhi turned his head and smilingly said, "Even if someone wanted to mess with Silver Fish Castle, can’t we handle it with so many of us here?"

Old Wang was just about to speak when suddenly, the sound of Po Kong intensified.

Whoosh~

An unexpected arrow flew in, hitting Hu Yizhi in the shoulder from behind.

Hu Yizhi stumbled forward, his expression changed dramatically.

But in the next instant, he grabbed the arrow and pulled it out.

Only a little blood was on the arrowhead.

"Lucky I was wearing armor."

Hu Yizhi, still shaken, overturned a table and pulled his sister Hu Qianling to take cover behind it.

"Watch out for the ambush!"

All the guards’ expressions changed, and after a brief moment of stunned silence, they sprang into action quickly.

Four of the guards ran to the horses, each took a shield, and then folded back to the front and back of Hu Yizhi and his sister.

"Who dares to ambush the young master of Silver Fish Castle, show yourself!"

The old man looked around and bellowed angrily.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

The reply was a volley of arrows from all directions.

"Ah~"

In an instant, five people were hit by arrows; one of them was carrying a shield and was shot in the foot.

Five people went down, one with a shoulder pierced, another with a thigh penetrated.

"Old Wang!"

Hu Yizhi was horrified and watched as the old man was hit in the shin by an arrow, blood flowing profusely.

Hu Qianling cried out angrily, "You cowards, only know how to ambush? If you are brave, come out and fight!"

Before her words had fallen, a second volley of arrows flew in.

The sharp arrows, wrapped in alarming penetration, came from an inconceivable angle, covering almost all directions without any blind spots.

"Ah~"

The screams rose again as the remaining three attendants were also struck down by arrows.

Hu Yizhi and Hu Qianling were terrified and hastily grabbed the shields to protect themselves.

As if facing a great enemy, the siblings stood back to back.

At that moment, an ethereal voice came from nowhere.

"Friends from Silver Fish Castle, if you retreat immediately back to your estate, we will not make it hard for you."

This sentence echoed in their ears; Hu Yizhi and Hu Qianling looked at each other, their faces hesitant and undecided.

After a long moment, Hu Yizhi called out gravely, "We are here under orders, we cannot comply."

The next moment!

A figure walked out of the woods, holding a bow and arrow.

Everyone turned their heads to look, recognizing at a glance that it was the person who had suddenly risen and entered the woods.

Hu Yizhi looked around and gasped, "Just you alone?"

Fang Zhixing set down his bow and arrow and stepped forward, saying lightly, "Am I not enough by myself?"

Hu Yizhi gritted his teeth, his expression twisted instantly, he threw away his shield, gripped his long sword, and said in a deep voice, "State your name, under my sword Hu Yizhi does not kill the nameless."

Fang Zhixing’s lips curled up in mockery, "I happen to be called Nameless."

Hu Yizhi was taken aback for a moment, with a clanging sound, he drew his sword from its sheath, leaping forward.

Hu Qianling also drew her sword almost at the same time, following his lead.

The siblings wielded silver swords, which dazzled under the sunlight, blinding and disrupting the vision.

Not only that, their sword skill contained a hint of mystery, seemingly able to coordinate with each other.

"Your swordplay is elegant, could it be from the Shadow Leopard Series?" Fang Zhixing asked with interest.

Hu Yizhi immediately became even more enraged, shouting, "Have you never heard of the ’Swimming Fish Sword Skill’ passed down in my Silver Fish Castle?"

Fang Zhixing responded indifferently, "Never heard of it."

"Seeking death!"

Hu Yizhi and Hu Qianling charged left and right, resembling two entwined fish, constantly shifting and switching positions, along with two dazzling silver long swords, creating an unpredictable oppressive feeling.

Fang Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly.

He was certain that the Hu siblings had enhanced their agility, and since they wore armor, it was highly likely that they had not enhanced their defense.

Thus, their strength must be below the Three Beasts Realm.

"Hmm, let’s test how strong my defense is."

Fang Zhixing’s muscles swelled, and black patterns suddenly emerged on his skin, resembling turtle shells.

Then he strutted forward.

"Stab!"

Hu Yizhi increased his speed, his silver sword enveloped in a cold gleam, directly stabbing at Fang Zhixing’s chest.

Clang~

The silver sword bent sharply!

Then, Hu Qianling also stabbed Fang Zhixing in the stomach.

Similarly, her long sword bent as well.

The siblings’ hearts skipped a beat, their bodies stiffened instantly, their eyes wide and mouths agape.

Fang Zhixing first addressed Hu Yizhi, "You have enhanced agility, strength, and toughness, reaching 85,000 pounds of force, not bad."

He then turned to Hu Qianling, "You have only enhanced agility and toughness, too weak, I did not feel a thing when you stabbed me."

Gulp~

The siblings swallowed hard, sweat soaking their backs.

"I do not wish to hurt anyone, please go back." Fang Zhixing instructed calmly.

The siblings simultaneously sheathed their silver swords, stepped back three paces, bowed to Fang Zhixing, and said with a face full of reverence, "Thank you for your mercy, Hero, the road of Jianghu is long, we shall meet again."

They helped their eight attendants up, boarded their carriage, and hurriedly departed.

Xigou sprang out, surprised, "Since when did you become so benevolent, not killing anyone?"

Fang Zhixing replied, "This is called acting low-key, leaving more options for myself."

Xigou understood, when someone acts low-key, it means they are determined to cause a big stir!

Of course, not everyone who wishes to stay low-key can do so; it requires absolute power.

Just like Fang Zhixing facing the Hu siblings, completely overpowering them, totally controlling the situation, he could kill or let go as he wished.

This is the power!

In the past, he would have killed without hesitation, regardless of the consequences, just kill first and talk later.

But now, things are different...
