721: Chapter 681 Encounter with Bandits_1 721: Chapter 681 Encounter with Bandits_1 Hearing the coachman’s words made Gu Xiaosang start to feel a little scared.

“Is this stretch of road really that dangerous?”

“Don’t worry, they might not even stop us.”

“Besides, they don’t always focus on this road.

If our luck isn’t too bad, we basically won’t meet them.”

The coachman said, smiling.

Although he felt a vague unease in his heart, he still tried to soothe the nervous atmosphere, trying his best to keep both Gu Xiaosang and himself from becoming tense.

Gu Xiaosang quickly grabbed onto Lu Chuan’s arm, “Lu Chuan, if bandits come after us, you have to protect me!”

“What are you panicking for?

Just sit tight and relax.

If the bandits dare come, I assure you they won’t leave alive.”

Gu Xiaorou took hold of Gu Xiaosang’s arm and pulled her back to her seat.

“She’s just scared because she hasn’t traveled this far before and suddenly feels uneasy.”

Gu Xiaorou smiled helplessly.

Lu Chuan looked at Gu Xiaosang curiously, “You’ve been to the secular world before, haven’t you?

That place is much farther than this.

You weren’t afraid there, so why be afraid now?”

Gu Xiaosang quickly retorted, “How can that be the same?

If you get killed here, nobody cares about your life or death, but in the secular world?

Even encountering a petty thief is rare!”

Gu Xiaosang’s words indeed contained some truth, and it was understandable that she was so worried and fearful.

Lu Chuan smiled helplessly, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”

Gu Xiaosang nodded slightly, “Alright, but you must protect me well.”

Whoosh!!

An abrupt sound came through, and the keen-eared Lu Chuan immediately heard it.

“That sound just now…

it sounded like the noise of an arrow being fired!”

Lu Chuan suddenly became alert, speaking with a grave face.

“You heard something?

I didn’t hear anything,” Gu Xiaosang said curiously, looking at Lu Chuan.

“Coachman?

Has the carriage stopped?”

Lu Chuan felt that the speed of the carriage was slowing down more and more.

It was clearly out of control.

Lu Chuan quickly lifted the curtain and looked toward the coachman’s seat, only to see that the coachman had collapsed to one side, an arrow piercing through his head, blood continuously flowing out.

Lu Chuan took a sharp breath, “We’re being attacked!

The coachman’s dead!”

He turned his head towards Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang, “It seems the coachman’s prediction came true after all.

We’re unlucky enough to have really run into these bandits.

Stay here, I’m going down for a bit.”

Gu Xiaorou warned, “Be careful of their hidden arrows, keep safe.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Don’t worry.”

With that, he jumped down from the carriage.

He saw a group of horsemen blocking the road ahead, stopping their way.

All of these people were dressed in black with masks on their faces, holding large sabers.

The leader wore a black eye patch and rode forward on a majestic horse.

“Everyone, get off the carriage now, or I’ll chop you all up and feed you to the dogs!”

He raised his machete, pointing in Lu Chuan’s direction.

His voice was rough and muffled, and his demeanor was fierce.

Just from his appearance, it was clear that this guy was brutal, having taken many lives under his hand.

Then, Ahn Xuwu hurriedly came down from the carriage, walking towards Lu Chuan.

“What’s going on?

Why have we stopped?”

“Look ahead.”

Ahn Xuwu looked forward, and there he saw the bandits.

“Mountain bandits?

Seems like quite a few—there must be at least a dozen.

This won’t be easy for us to handle, will it?”

On the carriage, his five Disciples were unable to come down and fight.

The injuries they sustained yesterday were not yet recovered, and asking them to fight now would be asking too much.

If they were to perish here, it would be a huge loss for the Sky Martial Sect.

Lu Chuan patted Ahn Xuwu on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this trouble.”

“With so many of these bastards, and you by yourself, are you sure you can handle it?”

Lu Chuan gave a faint smile.

“Are you worried about my strength?”

“Not really, it’s just that…

I’ll trouble you then.

If a fight breaks out, I can help take on some of the adversaries.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “So now, it seems only the two of us can fight.

Let’s go.”

Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang were also capable of fighting, but at best, they could only clear out some minor thugs and were not fit for the main battle.

As for those minor thugs, Lu Chuan could handle them easily, so there was no need for the two of them to make a move for now.

Following that, Lu Chuan walked towards the gang of robbers.

“Just you alone?

All of you come out!

Two carriages and they’re loaded with just the two of you?

Who are you trying to fool?”

The Cyclops shouted threateningly.

Lu Chuan walked towards the Cyclops with an unhurried stride, an air of nonchalance about him.

“Daring to ambush me, to rob me, you’ve got guts.

However, your luck is pretty bad.

Your career as a mountain bandit ends today.”

The Cyclops laughed loudly, “Hahaha, who do you think you are?

Daring to talk to me like that!

No one in Myriad Stars City can deal with me, and you think you’re worthy?”

Lu Chuan frowned slightly, “No one in Myriad Stars City can deal with you?

That’s a bit of an overstatement, don’t you think?

Both the Lu family and the Dongfang family can wipe you out!”

“Heh, you’re not completely ignorant, are you?

Well, I’ll tell you the truth—both families can do nothing against me, got it?”

He lifted his head arrogantly, looking down at Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan chuckled, “Aren’t you boasting a bit too much?”

“Me, boasting?

Forget it, you’re bound to die today, so what harm is there in telling you?”

“Previously, there was a rumor in Myriad Stars City that the Lu family was sending someone to wipe us out.”

“But do you know what the person from the Lu family did when they arrived?”

He laughed proudly, “They came to bring me money, weapons, and gear.”

“They did bring a lot, but they made one requirement—that we stop and kill anyone from the Dongfang family if we encountered them, and let anyone from the Lu family pass freely.

They didn’t care whether anyone else lived or died.”

“Now you understand?

Neither of the two biggest families in Myriad Stars City can touch me.

That’s not just me talking big—if those two families fight each other for just one day, I can live another day free and easy.”

He laughed triumphantly, feeling incredibly satisfied.

“Boys, attack!

Kill everyone inside the carriage, but leave the women!”

“Charge!!”

The dozen or so bandits simultaneously snapped the reins, propelling their horses toward Lu Chuan and the others.

Cavalry inherently held an absolute advantage over infantry, not to mention that they also had the advantage in numbers.

Unless the gap in strength was too great, they were unlikely to be any match for them.

Ahn Xuwu was immediately panicked.

This line of cavalry charging at them was something he couldn’t withstand.

“Young Master Lu, shall we run?

These people are coming on fiercely, I’m afraid we can’t hold them off!”

Lu Chuan stood his ground, raising his hand to draw the Soul Terminating Sword from behind.

“Don’t worry, just wait until I make one strike.”

Boom!!

The blade of the sword was entwined with the Divine Fire of the Sun.
