This person was targeted by Lu Chen's Bear Demon Death Warriors and was hit by a precise arrow shot. This situation clearly indicated that his position had been exposed, and Lu Chen and the others had already discovered their ambush, meaning he had not entered their encirclement at all.
The individual who was shot was furious, not because he had been hit by an arrow, but because he did not understand how his position had been revealed. The others did not shoot, yet he was specifically targeted, which was clearly a warning.
As soon as Lu Chen spoke, the shot individual agilely jumped out of the bushes, indicating that he was also a skilled fighter. The previous arrow had not harmed him.
“Ming Ren does not engage in underhanded dealings. Brother, you are lying in ambush here, fully prepared, plotting against me; it cannot be just a simple robbery, can it?” Lu Chen addressed the man who had emerged from the bushes.
This person stood seven and a half feet tall, with a lean physique that appeared strong and powerful; his movements were akin to those of a monkey.
He brushed off his clothing dismissively and said, “Lu, you indeed have good eyesight. Since I have been discovered, there is no need for ambush anymore. Everyone come out.”
With this statement, rows of Bandits stood up from the bushes or jumped down from the tall trees—over a hundred of them, all armed warriors exuding a murderous aura.
Lu Chen had chosen to shoot the individual with the most intense vital energy; the denser the vital energy, the higher the Qigong cultivation level.
Among the entire group of robbers, four or five had relatively high Qigong cultivation levels. However, this individual’s Qigong cultivation was the highest, making him effectively the leader among them.
After Lu Chen shot him, he could not retaliate because their bows could not shoot that far. The Bear Tendon Bow was a top-quality bow made from the tendons of Bear Demons combined with various secret techniques; its flexibility and elasticity were exceptional compared to ordinary bows.
“Hmm?” Upon hearing the other person's words, Lu Chen fell into contemplation. The fact that this person knew his surname was Lu indicated that he had come prepared and was aware of some details about Lu Chen.
“Do you have any grievances with me? Setting up such a large ambush here? Or are you acting on someone else's orders to harm me?” Lu Chen called out to the distant Mountain Bandit while standing in front of the Caravan.
“Lu, there is no need for more words. Taking money from others to do their dirty work is pointless. Kill him!”
As soon as he finished speaking, over a hundred Mountain Bandits charged forward. Thirty or forty archers crouched down to shoot arrows; in an instant, a rain of arrows flew toward them like locusts.
The leader refused to answer Lu Chen's words, his tone extremely impatient. After just a couple of exchanges, he ordered the assassination of Lu Chen and his companions.
From this, one could conclude that he was not simply after the Treasure; his main goal was to take Lu Chen's life.
"Alright, I never kill those who shouldn't be killed, but you are clearly not within that range."
Lu Chen said, waving his hand. Suddenly, the front half of the cart turned around completely, using its sturdy boxes to shield against the Mountain Bandits. At the same time, everyone leaned against the boxes for cover.
Thud, thud, thud.
As everyone pressed against the boxes, a series of crisp impacts echoed. Sharp arrows shot in from a hundred paces away with great force, embedding themselves firmly into the boxes above.
Thirty or forty archers took turns shooting. In just a few blinks of an eye, the front boxes were filled with arrows standing straight up like a porcupine.
The rain of arrows continued for about half a minute before finally stopping. Then came the sounds of shouting and a series of heavy and chaotic footsteps approaching. It was clear that the group of Mountain Bandits had launched their charge.
Lu Chen shouted loudly as Flesh suddenly leaped out from behind the boxes. He saw the group of Mountain Bandits charging fiercely towards them, only thirty paces away from the Caravan.
Lu Chen and Flesh shook themselves, and a surge of intense vitality erupted from Flesh. The Qigong cultivation of Divine Power Body was like a star in this place, yet it could not stop the advancing footsteps of the Mountain Bandits.
Lu Chen ran with all his might, leaping four or five steps. Flesh soared high and quickly dove into the midst of the Mountain Bandits like a sharp steel blade, beginning a bloody rampage.
Bang, bang, bang!
Lu Chen's iron fists moved like wind, unleashing fierce Fist Shadows. The opponents were unafraid even when facing real blades and swords; strikes against them had no effect whatsoever.
Indeed, Lu Chen had already entered Divine Power Body; Flesh was indestructible and could withstand their blades and swords without any risk of being harmed.
Old Mu and Lian Dashuang also jumped out from behind the box without hesitation, directly joining the fray and charging at the Bandits, unleashing a massacre.
Princess Zhulan and her companions were only a moment behind, leading twelve Bear Demon Death Warriors in a charge.
In an instant, the once empty and silent official road was filled with shouts of battle and the sounds of clashing weapons, the fighting was quite intense.
The sixty Qi Masters sent by Sun Zizhao, all at the Body Refinement Explosive Qi Realm, did not engage in the fight. Their duty was to guard the Treasure, and they stood at a uniform distance around the carriage, vigilant for any other potential changes.
However, they had no need to join the battle since it quickly came to an end.
With just over a hundred Mountain Bandits, Lu Chen could handle them all by himself. The only difficult opponents were the four or five leaders among them, but they were no match for Lu Chen. It was only a matter of time before those four or five were defeated by him.
Moreover, with Princess Zhulan and her companions joining in, the soldiers and lackeys were wiped out in just a moment. Bodies lay sprawled across the ground, spears stuck into the earth, steel blades scattered haphazardly, and blood flowed freely.
With the lackeys eliminated, Princess Zhulan and her companions completed their mission. They stood quietly in front of the Caravan, watching Lu Chen deal with those four or five skilled fighters.
There were five of them, all leaders among these Mountain Bandits, with considerable Qigong cultivation. However, before Lu Chen, they were like decorations—hardly intimidating.
Lu Chen swung his arms wildly; his solid iron fists cut through the air with a brilliant glow. His rich vitality surged like smoke rising into the air, spreading around him.
Lu Chen's aura was incredibly powerful; even surrounded by five Qi Masters, he showed no fear. His thoughts were calm and composed, his expression resolute—like Mount Tai standing firm—his fists struck like rainbows, unleashing waves of iron fist intent.
At first, those five managed to hold on for a while, but upon seeing their lackeys fall so quickly, two or three of them lost their composure.
As two or three revealed openings in quick succession, Lu Chen struck out with both fists and instantly knocked down two of them. They fell to the ground with wide eyes that looked like copper bells.
The two actually coughed up blood; it was clear their internal organs had been shattered. Qi Masters typically do not spit blood because they protect their insides very well. However, if there is too great a disparity in strength between foes and one side seizes an opening to deliver a powerful blow to the chest, it can cause them to spit blood.
Once blood is coughed up, it proves that the internal organs have suffered tremendous damage, with the five viscera and six bowels simultaneously shattered. At this point, there is essentially no chance of survival.
In the blink of an eye, two were struck down, leaving three still entangled with Lu Chen.
"Hahaha, if you surrender and reveal the mastermind behind you, I might consider sparing your lives," Lu Chen declared, delivering a powerful punch, his presence overwhelming.
"No need for that. We five sworn brothers have accepted money from others and must keep their secrets. We will not divulge any information. Today, we underestimated your strength; since we are destined to die anyway, we might as well die together."
The group of Mountain Bandits did not expect Lu Chen to be so formidable; his subordinates were also quite capable, easily wiping out their men without much effort.
Given the current situation, the five leaders were likely facing imminent death. Two were already dead, leaving only three.
"Is that so? Since you refuse to drink the wine offered and choose punishment instead, don't blame me for being rude," Lu Chen said.
With a movement of Flesh, Lu Chen's arms opened wide as sixty-four Fist Shadows intertwined to form a massive fist net that descended from above.
The three quickly rolled away to avoid it. Lu Chen's fist net crashed down, instantly creating numerous large pits in the smooth official road and shaking the ground.
Bang bang bang!
Lu Chen leaped like a Golden Toad, launching punches and kicks that once again knocked two of the leaders to the ground.
The two stiffened, their legs twitching twice before falling completely still.
At this moment, only one Mountain Bandit leader remained on the scene. This man was clad in tough gear, standing seven and a half feet tall, incredibly robust, resembling an upright walking ape.
He was the same person who had been shot by the Bear Demon Death Warriors earlier and was considered the strongest among the Mountain Bandits.
Lu Chen laughed and said to the person, "Ha ha, you have bad luck falling into my hands. I will definitely capture you alive and force you to reveal the mastermind behind this. Don't worry about being stubborn; I have plenty of ways to make you talk."
The person widened his eyes, took a deep breath, and with a slightly surprised and somewhat disappointed expression said, "Divine Power Body, impervious to blades and bullets. Hmph, Lu, you are indeed strong, but we have already failed. However, if you want to capture me alive, it won't be that easy."
"Is that so? Where does your confidence come from?"
Before the other could respond, Lu Chen moved swiftly, disappearing in an instant.
Lu Chen flicked his fingers and shot an object from his hand.
The person stumbled back three steps, eyes wide open. Just as he was about to dodge Lu Chen, he saw a white object coming straight at him.
Seeing that he couldn't evade it, he spread his arms wide and unleashed two immense forces from his fists, planning to tear apart the white object once it got close.
Sure enough, a fine net enveloped him. The person quickly struggled with all his might, trying to tear apart the seemingly insignificant net and escape.
