949: Chapter 909: Becoming a Tiger’s Accomplice 949: Chapter 909: Becoming a Tiger’s Accomplice The massive wooden doors of the warehouse were firmly shut, and standing in front of them was a young man in a green robe, carrying a bundle on his back and wearing a round hat.

His skin was exceptionally pale, his eyes fox-like, a perfect oval face.

Based solely on his demeanor, he should be a scholar.

Yuan Gang rode up slowly on his horse, the two men contrasting sharply, one tall, one short, one strong, one frail.

“Hey!

Who are you?”

Yuan Gang shouted loudly.

“Are you one of Nangong Qianying’s men?”

The scholar looked up at Yuan Gang, his face revealing a strange smile.

Yuan Gang felt a chill on his back, clenched his teeth tightly, and asked again, “Hey!

Speak up, did you capture my soldiers?

Release them now!”

“I didn’t expect you to actually come.

It’s evident you really care about your subordinates.”

“Cut the crap, open the door!”

“Are you sure you want me to open it?”

“Do as I say, or I’ll slash you with one strike!”

Yuan Gang drew the heavy sword from his saddle and pointed the blade at the scholar.

“Well then, I’ll do as you said…”

At that moment, the scholar bowed deeply to Yuan Gang.

While Yuan Gang was confused and at a loss, suddenly there was a loud bang as the warehouse doors flew open.

A dense blood mist, laced with the pungent stench of blood, rolled out toward Yuan Gang.

The thick blood mist, like a drizzle, gushed from the warehouse the instant it erupted, coating Yuan Gang in a layer of fresh blood.

Yuan Gang closed his eyes tightly, held his breath, and upon opening his eyes with difficulty, he felt his face sticky and his whole body reeking of blood.

The horse, as if frightened, emitted a piercing neigh.

The ground around was coated with a layer of fleshly muck, utterly nauseating.

But the scholar standing in front of the door was as clean as new, unstained by any blood mist.

He straightened up, looked at Yuan Gang, and said with a smile, “General Yuan, I’ve returned your subordinates to you, are you sure you don’t want to thank me?”

Yuan Gang snapped back to reality, his eyes burning with rage at the other, and he roared, “You bastard!

I’ll kill you, beast!

Your granddad can thank you!”

“Charge!!”

He yelled loudly, and the warhorse beneath him charged forth toward the scholar at breakneck speed.

Seated on the horse, he gripped the heavy sword in both hands, his feet planted firmly in the stirrups, and he rose to his full height.

With a mighty leap, he swung down furiously at the scholar!

“Die!”

As the scholar saw the attack, his upper body swerved suddenly, dodging to the side to avoid the blow.

Swish!!

The heavy sword crashed into the ground, splattering a mixture of blood and mud.

Before Yuan Gang had a chance to lift the heavy sword, the scholar’s body lunged forward, slamming hard into Yuan Gang.

Yuan Gang’s large frame, like an arrow loosed from its bow, shot to the side and finally came to a stop after shattering a giant boulder.

He struggled to rise, propping himself up with his heavy sword, and as he looked up at his opponent, he gasped for air, seething with an intense fury that had nowhere to vent.

“General Yuan, are we sparring in swordsmanship?

I would be very pleased to exchange a few moves with you.”

He drew a slender, flexible sword from behind his back, brandished the blade, and walked towards Yuan Gang.

“You don’t look well, have you encountered any troubles recently?”

His steps were slow, advancing step by step towards Yuan Gang.

Hidden behind a rock in the distance, Lu Chuan saw this scene and realized something was wrong.

This guy was clearly not Nangong Qianying.

Could he just be one of his associates?

If even the subordinates brought by Nangong Qianying were this formidable, then what kind of realm had he, himself, reached by now?

Lu Chuan took a deep breath; it seemed none of these fellows were easy to deal with.

From the scholar’s face, which was full of smiles, he detected a trace of murderous intent, sharp enough, it seemed, to penetrate Yuan Gang’s armor and stab straight into his heart.

A frail figure was capable of beating Yuan Gang, the man with a sturdy build, into such a state.

It was truly impactful.

Lu Chuan felt he could no longer stay hidden.

It was time to make a move, not only to save Yuan Gang but also to cut off Nangong Qianying’s left and right arms.

“General Yuan, you are the darling brother of Yuan Tiancheng, as well as his left and right arms.

If you were to die, Yuan Tiancheng would be devastated.

Then, he might do something rash, landing himself in dangers,”

“So, you must not die.

If you did, your brother would be doomed, and then, wouldn’t Tiannan City have a change of ruler?”

He walked toward Yuan Gang, dismissing these words while he walked.

Yuan Gang stood up, tightened his grip on his heavy sword, and walked toward the scholar.

“Give me your name.

I, Yuan Gang, do not slay the nameless!”

The scholar smiled lightly, “I am Qian Sheng, a fellow cultivator who practiced with Mr.

Nangong.

Now that he has returned to his hometown, I followed.”

“Haha, a mere accomplice to a tiger.

You’re no good either.

Your whole bunch is rotten!”

“No matter, once you have nothing left but a mouth, you won’t be saying such things anymore!”

Qian Sheng’s figure flashed, turning into streaks of green afterimages as he charged toward Yuan Gang.

“Ahh!!”

Seeing how fast this guy was, Yuan Gang let out a roar of anger!

He knew he couldn’t beat this kind of speed!

He was only fit to be played with!

Right now, he wanted to shout for Lu Chuan’s help, but his pride and the arrogance of a general prevented him from doing so.

“Seeking death!”

With the opponent moving too fast, Yuan Gang had no choice but to swing his sword in a sweep to increase his attack range, thereby increasing the chance of hitting the enemy.

However, Qian Sheng’s speed was faster than he had imagined.

With a quick retreat, Qian Sheng dodged Yuan Gang’s sweep.

Almost without pause, he charged again, the interval between his evasions nearly instantaneous.

Swoosh!!!

Qian Sheng swung his sword, the blade precise and tricky, piercing through the gaps in the armor and into Yuan Gang’s shoulder.

Immediately, blood seeped through the shoulder guard.

Yuan Gang flinched with pain, gritted his teeth, and retreated several steps to create distance.

His eyes fixed on Qian Sheng’s figure, so fast that it was hard for his eyes to catch.

Swoosh!!

He charged at Yuan Gang once more.

“Hahaha, your swordsmanship is lacking, let me teach you how to wield a sword properly.”

Yuan Gang roared, “Ah!!

Come on!

I’m not afraid of you!”

He swung his heavy sword again, chopping down toward Qian Sheng.

At that moment, he was filled with despair, the vast difference in speed giving rise to a profound sense of powerlessness!

But just then, a figure suddenly attacked, rushing toward Qian Sheng.

Seeing this, Qian Sheng quickly retracted his Peijian and stabbed at the incoming Lu Chuan.

“Sneak attacking me?

You’re still too green.”

Qian Sheng said with disdain.
