A Pie Falls From Heaven, The Li Family Intercepts

At the very front, galloping on horseback!

Completely the opposite of those behind!

His clothes were ragged, his appearance disheveled, and he kept looking back, his expression panicked and lost!

He held a whip in his hand, constantly lashing the horned horse beneath him!

Urging it to go faster!

Trying to widen the distance between himself and the people behind him!

Suddenly, he saw Jiang Yi and his group!

A glimmer of light appeared in his eyes!

He aimed in the direction of Jiang Yi and the others, raised the whip in his hand, and immediately cracked it several times.

The horse neighed in pain and galloped over!

For a moment, he succeeded, briefly creating a distance of several dozen feet.

At this moment, a mocking laugh came from behind him!

"You can't escape!"

"This game is also about time...

It's time to end!"

He saw someone behind him take down a large crimson bow.

Holding the bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right!

He spread his arms, nocked the arrow, and drew the bowstring!

"Crack!"

It sounded like thunder exploding in his ears!

He only saw a flash of crimson lightning before his eyes!

Tearing through space, unstoppable!

The figure at the very front had his chest pierced with ease.

After a scream!

He fell from the horned horse, tumbling seven or eight times before finally stopping.

Coincidentally, not far from Jiang Yi!

Immediately after!

There was another "Clang!"

Beneath that sound, which was not quite metal!

The bundle on his chest loosened, and a piece of irregular jade-like pillar fell out.

After rolling a few times!

It actually ended up at Jiang Yi's feet!

[Detected Earth-grade mid-tier martial art -- Glass Diamond Body, do you wish to engrave it?]

[Requires consuming Lifespan: 3 years.]

Jiang Yi: "???"

A treasure-delivering boy?

Did pie fall from the sky?

"Engrave!"

Jiang Yi's mind moved, and after engraving it, he looked down at the pillar-shaped jade object at his feet.

What pillar was that?

It was clearly a human-shaped sculpture, sitting cross-legged with its hands forming a seal.

It was crystal clear throughout, emitting a glazed luster.

Under the faint light, a faint projection formed.

Upon closer inspection!

He could see tiny, fly-speck-sized characters floating in the projection.

It was obvious!

That was the Earth-grade mid-tier martial art he had just engraved!

The Li Family's group, riding their horned horses, slowly approached them.

Looking down from above, their faces full of arrogance!

The young man at the head lowered his gaze, looking at Jiang Yi, not hiding the contempt in his eyes at all.

They seemed to possess a natural sense of superiority!

With a raise of his hand, he tossed down a piece of fine silk.

"Hey kid, pick that up and wrap it for me!"

Jiang Yi: "..."

You think you can push me around?!

Seeing that Jiang Yi didn't move, Huang Qi signaled for one of the escorts to step forward and pick it up.

Then, he cupped his fists and said:

"I am Huang Qi of the Huang Family Escort Agency. Greetings to all the talented young men of the Li Family."

"Oh? The Huang Family? I've heard of you!"

"Started by escorting and transporting goods, they're a major subsidiary force of the Hegemon Body Sect..."

"Huang Qi, is it? You may dispense with the formalities!"

The group from the Li Family didn't move at all, merely chatting amongst themselves!

Let alone dismounting.

It had to be said!

The Li Family was truly arrogant.

But their arrogance, coincidentally, had the capital to back it up.

Huang Qi felt a surge of anger!

Although he didn't show it on his face, his demeanor visibly cooled.

At this moment, the escort he had gestured to had already wrapped the jade sculpture and handed it over.

One of them rode his horse forward, drew his sword, and flicked the sculpture onto the side of his horse!

"Alright, let's go, let's go!"

"Third Young Master, that kid seems to have seen..."

Someone spoke up, reminding the young man at the head of the group.

Upon hearing this!

The leading young man glanced indifferently at Jiang Yi, then chuckled lightly, his smile filled with deep mockery.

"So what if he saw!"

"Does he think he can learn it just by looking a few times?"

"What a joke!"

"Kid, you're lucky, but keep your mouth shut. Remember--

what to say, and what not to say!"

"Hahaha!"

With that, he turned his horse around, and his followers all followed suit, riding their horses away.

Their hooves pounded the ground, creating a thunderous sound! Dust billowed up!

It swept towards Jiang Yi and the others!

The sounds of their departure grew fainter...

Soon, they disappeared from sight.

"Was that Third Young Master Li just now? He's one of Rock Mountain City's famous martial path geniuses."

"Damn it!"

"He really is as arrogant as the rumors say!"

"They say his cultivation has already broken through to the second level of the Blood Qi Realm!"

"Heh!"

"The main thing is he was born into a good family, who wouldn't be able to ascend to heaven if they were born into the Li Family..."

The group of escorts clearly recognized the young man and were whispering amongst themselves, discussing!

There were expressions of envy and indignation alike!

"Alright!"

"We should get going too. We need to make good time and arrive in Rock Mountain City before dark!"

Huang Qi's expression was also a bit grim!

Forcing down his anger, he called out to the escorts, urging them to pack up quickly and get back on the road.

But for some reason!

A sense of foreboding hung heavy in his heart!

Little did they know!

After the members of the Li Family had traveled for a while!

An elder in the rear approached the middle-aged man beside him and whispered something.

A cold glint flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes!

He nodded to the elder!

Then leaped directly off his horse, turned around, and headed back.

"You... are from the Li Family?"

Huang Qi and his escort team were on the road!

Unexpectedly, after not traveling for long, they saw a middle-aged man standing right in the middle of the main road.

Blocking their path!

"That's right!"

The middle-aged man looked indifferently at the group before him and nodded without concealment.

"What do you want?"

The ominous premonition had actually come true!

Huang Qi stared intently at the middle-aged man, his face showing a hint of dread.

He could sense it!

Just like him, the man was at the Blood Qi Realm, but his aura felt unfathomably deep!

He was probably stronger than him!

"Naturally... to kill you all!"

The middle-aged man revealed a sinister grin!

He raised his hand and slowly drew a treasure sword from his back.

It was pure silver and had snowflake patterns on it!

"Weng!!!"

He moved!

Wielding the silver sword, its blade trembled, emitting a sharp, cold light that exuded a bone-chilling coldness.

As soon as his cultivation level was revealed!

Huang Qi's pupils couldn't help but contract!

"This is... Blood Qi Realm, fourth level!"

This is bad!!!

This was two levels higher than his own cultivation, and he was definitely no match for him.

"I'll hold him off, you guys...

scatter and escape!"

Huang Qi shouted in a low voice, taking his weapon from his horse, a tiger-headed spear.

It was as black as ink and forged from high-quality black iron!

He gritted his teeth and was about to charge forward when.

A hand landed on his shoulder, and a faint voice sounded in his ear.

"Uncle Qi, let me handle it!"

Before Huang Qi could speak, a tall figure had already leaped out!

His movements were like a soaring swan!

With a raise of his hand, the clanging and humming of weapons echoed, and a streak of silver light shot across the sky.

"Dong!!!"
