95: C95 The Reinforcement Is Arriving

C95 The Reinforcement Is Arriving

"Thrump, thrump, thrump..." Just at this moment, the ground suddenly trembled slightly. There seemed to be faint rumbling coming from the distance, and it actually became louder and louder.

"Reinforcements are coming!" Du Xi's eyes lit up and he laughed out loud.

"Retreat!"

In front of Du Xi, a man dressed in black seemed to have woken up from a dream, and looked at Tang Huan fiercely.

"Stop! You can't run away!"

Du Xi bellowed, but was powerless to stop them.

The remaining men in black also came back to their senses. They moved almost at the same time. They didn't even have time to take away their companions' corpses. In just a short moment, they had vanished without a trace.

Once they left, the remaining Martial Warriors all sat down on the ground.

Although the goods on the carriages weren't lost, the fierce battle just now had caused a number of casualties. Apart from the six black clothed men, seven or eight of the Martial Warriors had been killed, and more than twenty were still alive.

Tang Huan retracted his gaze, retrieved the cloth strip and wrapped it around the Crimson Flame Spear.

Just from the looks of the men in black before they left, Tang Huan knew that they would probably hold a grudge against him. However, Tang Huan did not care, he was wearing a mask now, and after taking it off, he would be dressed up. As long as he was careful not to reveal his weapon, it would not be easy to recognize him.

"Little brother, I am truly sorry. I misunderstood you. If it wasn't for you, none of us would have survived."

A voice suddenly came out; Du Xi walked over to Tang Huan's side with a limp. His face was filled with shame and regret.

Together with him was a twenty-something young man. His face was delicate and pretty, his body was tall and slender, long hair flowed behind his head, and he held a black spear in his hand. A long and narrow wound extended from his left shoulder to his right chest; between his chest and abdomen, it was completely dyed red with blood.

This man was Yin Fei, the other Stage Five Martial Master in the convoy.

"Brother Ye, I was wrong to blame you these few days. I thought that you have some tricky plans, and I was disrespectful to you. Please forgive me, little brother." Yin Fei also cupped his hands, with an apologetic look in his eyes.

"It's fine."

Hearing these words, Tang Huan just smiled faintly.

When he had applied for the position of guard in the convoy, he had not used his real name, but rather used a fake name called "Ye Ze". This was actually the name of a classmate of his from his previous life.

Hearing Tang Huan's words, Du Xi and Yin Fei felt even more ashamed. The surrounding Martial Warriors also lowered their heads in shame.

Along the way, although Tang Huan was following the convoy, he was isolated by the crowd.

Even until the moment that the group of black-clothed men appeared, the Martial Warriors closer to Tang Huan were still on guard against his sneak attack. However, no one expected that this person would actually become their savior in the end.

Just as Du Xi had said, if not for Tang Huan, the entire convoy would have been completely annihilated.

Tang Huan had first quickly killed two Stage Five Martial Masters, then attracted four Stage Five Martial Masters. This was completely out of their enemy's plan. Otherwise, if six of them could attack Du Xi and Yin Fei together and the other six could chase and kill the rest of the convoy, they would easily end the battle.

At that time, even if reinforcements were to arrive, they would only be able to see the corpses on the ground.

"Little brother, you are so magnanimous, but it makes me feel even more ashamed."

Du Xi regretfully sighed, with a bitter smile on his face, "If I had heard Little Brother's warning earlier, our losses wouldn't have been so heavy."

Tang Huan hung his spear at his back and remained silent, but his mind was filled with questions.

This robbery that suddenly appeared was extremely strange.

Du Xi was merely a Stage Five Martial Master. If the black men were to revenge, they would definitely not need twelve Stage Five Martial Masters. It was highly likely that they came for the goods.

According to Tang Huan's knowledge, all these carriages were carrying Red Iron Ores. But now it seemed that the Red Iron Ores was just a disguise. They actually convoyed something much more precious.0

If it really was only Red Iron Ores, as long as the robbers weren't stupid, they would never choose to fight near Phoenix City. After all, even if they robbed so many Red Iron Ores, it would be impossible to transport them away in a short period of time.

However, Tang Huan just kept his questions in his heart, he did not investigate further.

If he knew too much about this kind of thing, it might cause other troubles. Since they were about to arrive Phoenix City, he would go his own way after entering the city.

"Thrump, thrump..."

The ground trembled even more violently. Not long later, a mass of people appeared at the end of the road. At least a hundred people were riding fine horses and galloping like the wind.

At the front was a burly man with a tanned face. However, he wore a white robe, making him look rather strange.

"Old Du, are you alright?"

The horse had yet to stop, but the white robed man had already leaped up from the saddle, instantly crossing over a dozen meters of empty space and landing in front of Du Xi, asking anxiously, "Where's the thing, is it still there?"

Du Xi quickly replied: "I'm fine. The thing is also here! They had twelve Stage Five Martial Masters; six of them have died, and the remaining six have fled towards that direction!"

"That's good!"

The white-robed man let out a sigh of relief, then laughed coldly, "They won't be able to escape!" As he spoke, he turned around and shouted at the hundreds of people who had just reined in their horses, "Get down from the horses and search over there. Don't let a single one of them escape, no matter alive or dead!"

"Aye!"

Amidst the deafening chorus, over a hundred people jumped to the ground at the same time and sped towards the direction indicated by the burly man. In an instant, they disappeared without a trace.

The white-robed man turned around and smiled at Du Xi: "Old Du, well done! You actually killed off six Stage Five Martial Masters so quickly."

"The one who killed them wasn't me, but this little brother Ye Ze. The six of them were all killed by him." Du Xi laughed bitterly and pointed at Tang Huan.

"Oh?"

"..."

After a long while, the carriages finally continued their journey. Torches were placed on the shafts of each carriage, illuminating the way ahead.

Tang Huan was still at the back of the convoy, and there were still people looking at him from time to time.

But the difference from before was that now, those gazes were no longer alert or mockery. Instead, they were filled with a strong sense of curiosity and admiration. The white-robed man was also walking side by side with Tang Huan. He spoke and prattled around, trying to find out Tang Huan's identity.

Before long, under the dim and gloomy night sky, a brightly lit town entered Tang Huan's line of sight.

"Phoenix City!"

The city ahead was not very big. It was probably only half of the size of Furious Waves City. The city was located in a valley; behind the city, there was an incomparably huge mountain range crawling on the ground. That was the Phoenix Mountain!
