Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 49

Chapter 0049 Go To Xuan City!
Judging from the strength of this group of guards, one could see the profound strength of Yongsheng Trading Firm!

Along the way, the guards were vigilant, well-trained, and as orderly as soldiers.

Their respective division of labor, scouts, and outposts were all indispensable. The guards closely guarded the caravan, their eyes shining brightly as they closely observed the situation around them.

Qin Fei observed the guards for a day and felt a little puzzled. It was just that there was no need to be so vigilant when traveling normally. Each and every one of them seemed to be facing a great enemy, carrying with them a heavy and dull aura.

At night, the scouts in front came back. The caravan stopped. Lei Zhen walked out of the carriage. Qin Fei lifted the curtain and saw that the scouts were reporting the situation to Lei Zhen.

After a while, Lei Zhen nodded. Then, he got out of the carriage and arrived in front of Qin Fei’s carriage. He smiled and said, “Brother Qin, it’s already nightfall. The scouts have found a suitable place to rest three miles ahead. We’ll rest for one night and set off the next day!”

Qin Fei nodded and said, “The Thunder Lord has arranged it!”

Although everyone was cultivators, they still needed to rest, eat, and sleep. He and Lei Zhen didn’t care about traveling all day. They weren’t tired at all when they sat in the comfortable carriage, but the coachmen and guards were very tired.

When he arrived at his destination, Qin Fei’s eyes lit up. This was a suitable place to rest. It was flat and his vision was very wide. He could see the surroundings of 500 meters. Adjacent to the place of rest, there was a clear river running down. The river was about 300 meters wide and the current was turbulent. Ordinary people could not cross it. This river formed a natural barrier.

As soon as the guards arrived at the rest area, they displayed different behaviors from ordinary martial cultivators. They quickly set up their tents in an orderly manner. Qin Fei noticed that the guards had split up ten people to guard the surroundings with vigilance. The other guards quickly set up five tents. Two of them were made of exquisite materials and should be reserved for him and Lei Zhen to rest.

The guards lit a fire and cooked. After eating some simple cooked food, they extinguished the fire and covered it with sand.

A bearded man gave orders to the guards and arranged for the night watchmen.

After Qin Fei heard his arrangements, he couldn’t help but frown. They were too cautious, as if they were afraid that someone would ambush them in the middle of the night.

After the guards entered their respective positions, Lei Zhen walked over and smiled, inviting Qin Fei to follow him into the tent for a chat.

Qin Fei nodded and followed him into the tent to sit down. A coachman brought hot tea.

After the coachman left, Lei Zhen took a sip of tea and said with a serious expression, “Brother Qin, you must be very curious why these guards are so excited, right?”

Qin Fei didn’t hide anything and silently nodded. He looked at Lei Zhen and waited for his explanation.

Lei Zhen smiled bitterly and said, “Brother Qin, today, Zhu Tian came to the auction house and told me some very bad news. This trip to the prefecture might be a little troublesome!” To be honest, the branch heads of all the branches around the Prefecture City Trading Firm were all staring at the position of Trading Firm Master. Everyone wanted to sit in that position! I’m not the only one. This time, there will be four people qualified to compete for this position! And I have reliable information that the other party might attack others to prevent the other party from threatening me in the county! You’ve seen all these guards. They’re actually here to protect me! However, don’t worry. The other party will only delay us for a while at most. However, there will be no danger to our lives. Furthermore, with the strength of my guards, they will not lose to the other party! ”

Qin Fei frowned. He was unknowingly dragged into the water.

He took a deep look at Lei Zhen and said in a deep voice, “Lei Xingzhu, you’re not being honest! Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?”

He suspected that Lei Zhen had already known that his position was not that simple, so he had deliberately invited him to accompany him.

Looks like businessmen really can’t let people rest assured. Their smart heads can trap you at any time. They don’t even know who killed you.

Lei Zhen hurriedly waved his hand and said apologetically, “Brother Qin, don’t misunderstand! If I really knew about this, I wouldn’t have dragged you into the whirlpool! It really was Zhu Tian who told me before we left. If I said anything false, I would be struck by lightning and die a terrible death!”

Qin Fei curled his lips. Things had already come to this point. Besides, it was useless. Let’s just wait and see!

Moreover, he wasn’t alone …

Lei Zhen repeatedly apologized. Qin Fei didn’t want to bother with him, so he took his leave and went back to his tent to sleep.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly opened his eyes and heard a gentle breeze in his ears …

Immediately after, the sound of sharp blades cutting through his skin made him vigilant. He hurriedly got off the bed, lifted a corner of the tent, and looked into the pitch-black night.

Very quickly, a large group of meteors shot over from afar. With a whistling sound, they took a closer look and saw that it was a fiery silence flying towards the tent where they were resting!

The guards were the first to be shot, He quickly raised the weapon in his hand and cut off the blade. But more people were thrown into a frenzy by the sudden attack, In the blink of an eye, dozens of people were shot by several rockets. Their bodies were like hedgehogs on fire. They were rolling on the ground, wailing as they attempted to turn on the rolls to extinguish the flames. However, the fuel of the flames seemed to be made of special materials. It did not extinguish at all. Instead, it caused people to lose their names in the blink of an eye!

At this time, the tents were also on fire. The guards in the tents rushed out hastily. As expected of a trained elite. After a short period of shock, the guards quickly organized themselves and launched a counterattack!

The howling of the arrows stopped. Apart from the sound of the wind and the surging of the river, there was also a slight sound of footsteps in the night sky. The sound of footsteps came from all directions. Soon, hundreds of black figures appeared and surrounded everyone!

Lei Zhen came out of the tent and said to Qin Fei, “Brother Qin, are you alright?”

Qin Fei shook his head and looked at the black-clothed men. “These are your competitors, right?”

“Mm” Lei Zhen nodded, his face filled with indignation. “They came so quickly!”

“Didn’t you say they didn’t kill? Those guards were burned alive!” Qin Fei said coldly.

This Lei Zhen, there are some things that are still lying to him!

“Brother Qin, I also find this strange! Stand behind me and I’ll protect you!” Lei Zhen said. Then, he strode into the group of guards and looked at the black-clothed man opposite him. “Whose people are you? Don’t you know that you can’t kill fellow brothers?”

“Haha, Lei Zhen! Stop talking nonsense! We’re here to kill you all today, not a single one of you will be left alive. How would the headquarters know that we killed you?” A black-clothed man walked out with his face covered, making it impossible for others to see his appearance clearly. They could only see that he was very tall, his muscles bulging high, and his body was filled with explosive power!
