Chapter 1073 - 1073 1333 Ambush Successful

1073: Chapter 1333: Ambush Successful 1073: Chapter 1333: Ambush Successful The coachman drove the carriage to the mining area, and after entering, they only stayed for a while, seemingly loading something before immediately beginning their return journey.

Lu Chuan sat quietly in the carriage, waiting.

The two coachmen, out of boredom, chatted idly.

“Looking at the scale this time, the stuff we’re carrying must be something valuable.”

“That’s for sure, I’ve never seen such a grand set-up.

It must be some kind of treasure inside, probably the kind that comes around once in a hundred years.”

“But it’s strange, I heard that this road has been ambushed several times recently, and several convoys have been wiped out.

It’s really not peaceful outside the city lately.”

“We have no choice, the compensation this time is high enough.

Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t be doing this run; it’s too dangerous.”

“There shouldn’t be any problems this time, right?”

“Don’t worry, the escort for this convoy consists of the elite from within the city, all capable subordinates of the City Lord.

Nothing will happen.”

The two comforted each other.

The convoy continued to advance slowly on the desolate trail, standing out particularly conspicuously.

Just anyone hiding in the nearby bushes for a while would be able to spot this eye-catching convoy.

As the convoy slowly moved forward, they could finally see the city walls in the distance.

They were not far from Cloud Sea City now, which relieved the coachmen and the escorting soldiers.

However, it was then that the coachman caught a strange smell.

“Did you smell that?

It smells like a foul, bloody stench.”

“It might be the rotting corpses in the grass nearby, hasn’t it been said that many people died on this road?”

“How is that possible?

The City Lord has already had the corpses removed.

How could it be the smell of rotting corpses?”

Immediately, the coachman looked towards the cavalry beside him and asked, “Sir, do you smell anything odd?”

The soldier sniffed around and slightly shook his head, “There’s no particular smell, it seems like there is a strange scent, but it’s not a big deal.

It could be nearby dead animals, or maybe a body was missed.

All are possibilities.”

“Focus on driving, don’t get distracted.

We are almost at the city gates now, this transport mission has gone pretty smoothly, and we’ll make a good sum of money.

Right now, all I want to do is grab the money and have a nice late supper; I’m dying of hunger.”

The soldier spoke nonchalantly.

The coachman shrugged indifferently, “Never mind, I must be overthinking it.

We’ll be back soon, and it must be safe here.”

But, just at that moment, a flash of cold light streaked past.

Swoosh!

A sharp flying dart suddenly shot forth, piercing the forehead of one of the coachmen almost instantaneously!

Pfft!

Blood spurted out, and the other coachman, seeing this, immediately screamed in panic, “Stop!

Ambush!

There’s an ambush!!”

He shouted loudly, and the surrounding cavalry drew their weapons, alertly surveying the surroundings.

Swoosh!

Another flying dart shot towards them, and before the surviving coachman could dodge, he too was struck in the forehead by the dart and died on the spot.

Immediately, the carriage came to a halt, and the horses, startled, reared up and neighed loudly.

Inside the carriage, Lu Chuan opened his eyes and muttered, “Has that guy shown up?”

The soldiers escorting them all raised their weapons, extremely vigilant as they looked around.

However, the flying darts coming through the air seemed to be remotely controlled; after flying a certain distance, they would sharply turn and speed towards another target.

A soldier pulled out his sword and swung at an incoming dart.

But in the next moment, the dart abruptly turned and shot towards another soldier.

Swoosh!

The dart penetrated the soldier’s armor and instantly killed a soldier.

“That bastard, if you have the guts come out and face me, let me see what kind of demonic monster you are, daring to rob the City Lord’s goods, you’re asking for death!”

The soldier shouted loudly, but just then, a flying dart shot swiftly from behind him, instantly piercing through his body.

Blood spurted out, the soldier clutched the bloodied hole in his chest, blood spraying from his mouth.

One by one, soldiers fell, the remaining soldiers, seeing this, lost all their momentum and panicked into a frenzied escape.

They hadn’t even seen where the enemy was yet, and already most of them were dead or wounded, which was simply too terrifying for them.

They knew, even if they chose to stay, they were no match for the enemy, so it might as well be better to just flee; staying here was tantamount to courting death.

Soon, the group of soldiers escorting the convoy scattered and fled from the horse-drawn carriage.

For a moment, the carriage stood parked by the roadside, appearing particularly solitary.

From the nearby bushes, a figure slowly emerged.

Wan Qingyuan, dressed in a black robe, walked onto the road.

The flying darts dancing in the air landed in his hand.

After putting away the flying darts, he walked towards the carriage.

Seeing the iron lock on the carriage, he scoffed.

“Such a crude lock, and they think it can stop me?”

“Truly laughable.”

“Now, let’s see what exactly you’re transporting!”

He took out a dagger, gripped it backwards, and stabbed towards the iron lock.

Clang!!!

After sparks flew, the iron lock shattered and fell to the ground.

Then, he opened the large doors of the carriage, laughing loudly: “Hahaha, this is now mine!”

He laughed triumphantly.

But the next moment, his smile froze.

He saw that inside the carriage, there was a figure sitting, and nothing else.

“Wan Qingyuan, it really is you, I knew it was your doing, still not giving up, huh?

After managing to escape, you should’ve left this city, but unexpectedly, you’ve got the audacity to stir trouble here.”

“Now, you have no way to escape, you absolutely can’t escape from the palm of my hand!”

The next moment, Lu Chuan’s figure flashed, rushing towards Wan Qingyuan by the doorway.

Seeing this, Wan Qingyuan suddenly exclaimed, “Lu Chuan!

It’s you!

Damn it!”

He hurriedly scrambled to escape to the side.

Almost with all his strength, he dodged Lu Chuan’s lethal strike.

Immediately, Lu Chuan emerged from the carriage, chasing after Wan Qingyuan.

Wan Qingyuan rolled on the ground and, in a backhand gesture, flung a flying dart towards Lu Chuan.

Swish!!

Lu Chuan drew out the Soul Terminating Sword, slicing the flying dart in mid-air.

The dart that was deflected, suddenly halted in the air, then once again shot rapidly towards Lu Chuan.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan knew this was no ordinary flying dart.

He then swung his sword again to block.

Clang!!!

Wan Qingyuan quickly stood up from the ground, while controlling the flying dart, he continuously retreated.

“Lu Chuan, you persistent demon, using such a method to lure me out of hiding.”

“But this time, I’m different from before, if you want to defeat me now, you’ll have to pay the price!”
