Transmigration: Space-Aided Rise to Power and Prosperity-Chapter 390 - 226: The Man in Black

With the addition of Gu Chengyu and Ming Mo, the speed to eliminate the mountain bandits was very quick. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Gu Chengyu had killed all the bandits who rushed to the side of the carriage.

The bandits had realized the might of Gu Chengyu and the others, and they understood that as long as they didn’t go near the middle carriage, they wouldn’t be seeking their own deaths.

The remaining bandits dared not head towards Gu Chengyu’s direction and instead fought with the dart masters. This created a strange scene where Gu Chengyu and the others surrounded the carriage, without a single bandit attacking them.

Gu Chengyu assessed the remaining bandits. Including the two fighting with the conical hat men in front, there were only seven people left.

Suddenly, the sound of hoofbeats came from behind. Gu Chengyu didn’t need to look back to know that the three bandits who left earlier had returned.

These people must have heard the sounds of battle and turned back.

As soon as they arrived, they launched a surprise attack from the back of the convoy. The dart masters hurriedly stepped forward to resist, finding themselves momentarily flustered.

The three rode on horseback, shocked at the sight of their slain accomplices.

They had thought that their side could easily overcome these dart masters, but unexpectedly, they all perished at the hands of the dart masters.

Gu Chengyu let out a cold snort. Was this coming up to die? He leapt forward and quickly dispatched the three men.

Aside from the two fighting with the conical hat men, the rest of the bandits couldn’t withstand even a single move from Gu Chengyu.

The dart masters, ready for a fierce battle, were stunned. This Mr. Gu’s martial arts skills were incredibly high.

"Ah!" A dart master in front was slashed by a bandit, the wound struck his arm, causing the knife he was holding to fall to the ground.

Seizing this opportunity, the bandit raised his knife, intending to deliver a fatal blow.

Gu Chengyu did not hesitate, picking up a stone from the ground and hitting the bandit’s hand. Then he flew forward, driving his sword into the bandit’s left chest.

Afterward, he swiftly dealt with a few nearby people, then turned his gaze to the two fighting with the conical hat men, deciding not to intervene with them.

At the place where Gu Chengyu and the others stood, a circle of bandit corpses lay around, mostly dealt with by the three of them. Seeing the dead bandits on the ground, the dart masters let out a sigh of relief, thinking they were destined to die here today.

If it weren’t for Mr. Gu and his servants, they couldn’t have possibly killed these bandits with their skills.

He Cheng had been glancing over several times earlier, almost spitting blood in rage. The people he brought were top-notch, more than enough to deal with the dart masters, but unexpectedly, they were all wiped out by these three young people. Who exactly were these three?

In a moment of carelessness, he was slashed at the waist by a conical hat man.

"Ah! Liu Dong! How dare you sneak attack?" He Cheng exclaimed angrily at Liu Dong.

"Hmph! He Cheng, your men are dead, do you still think you can return alive? Such wishful thinking." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

For Liu Dong, the other dead bandits were simply unexpected surprises. Just He Cheng and Liu Da alone were too much for them to handle, not to mention those who were all carefully selected experts.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, He Cheng decided to retreat with the hope of a future opportunity. As long as the green hills are preserved, there will be no fear of running out of firewood.

Although he would be punished if he returned, it was better than losing his life here.

He Cheng retreated while fighting, suddenly pushing Liu Da beside him to shield the sword, then prepared to escape.

He took a deep look at Gu Chengyu’s direction, the young man who killed the most.

If he managed to escape today, he would surely report to his master to investigate who this person was, who disrupted their plan and caused them to lose so many skilled men.

He Cheng’s abilities were commendable, making the conical hat men struggle to defeat him, proving quite troublesome.

Gu Chengyu caught that one look from He Cheng and pondered for a moment.

These people were definitely not ordinary bandits. Their cooperation was seamless, and they moved swiftly.

But a variable occurred in their plan— the addition of the three of them. Otherwise, the robbery would have succeeded for sure.

Gu Chengyu had a suspicion in his heart, thinking that trouble was imminent. Would those involved come after him and seek revenge on him or his family after his involvement in this incident?

If he let this person escape now, it would surely lead to endless trouble.

Having made up his mind, Gu Chengyu did not hesitate further. He raised his sword and charged forward, intending to finish this person off.

The two conical hat men were also somewhat anxious. They hadn’t expected that person to send He Cheng over.

It seemed that person also valued this batch of silver. Unfortunately, they were not prepared enough. The master had sent Fat Han to disguise as a merchant, with an escort agency, hoping to smuggle them into the Capital under the guise.

Somehow, the information was leaked, and their manpower was still insufficient. Against an expert like He Cheng, their chance of victory wasn’t high either.

Liu Dong saw He Cheng trying to escape and quickly moved forward to block him. He couldn’t let him escape, otherwise, he was sure he would return in full force soon enough.

Unexpectedly, an unexpected situation arose.

Several men in black came flying at high speed from a distance, rushing towards this direction.

Their speed was astonishing, almost as if they weren’t touching the ground. Gu Chengyu glanced at them, recognizing it as Qinggong, although their skills were still shallow, much weaker in inner strength compared to them.

Their origins were unknown. If they were from the bandits’ side, he would have to join the battle immediately.

The conical hat men had already spent considerable time dealing with that leader; let alone the addition of more men in black.

He Cheng was overjoyed at the sight of the men in black. His master had long said that reinforcements would come, and they had indeed arrived.

These men were Death Warriors, with their help, he no longer needed to flee.

Liu Dong also recognized the dire situation seeing the men in black. With He Cheng having reinforcements, he became more vigorous, fighting against two without losing ground for a moment.

The men in black immediately joined the fray, and the conical hat men, being only two, quickly fell into disadvantage.

Gu Chengyu saw that the one who used a bow now had a knife stuck in his back.

"Let’s go! Help them." If they didn’t help the conical hat men now, they would surely be wiped out.

The other bandits had all been dealt with, and the dart masters were also running over there, preparing to lend the conical hat men a hand.

In the moment of life and death, although their martial arts weren’t high, they were accustomed to days of licking blood from their blades, and thus would not back down.

Gu Chengyu led Ming Mo and the others, flying over the heads of the dart masters and joining the fray a step ahead.

The presence of Gu Chengyu and the others greatly boosted the morale of the conical hat men’s side.

Gu Chengyu took two or three rounds to finish off one, as these Death Warriors had very high martial arts skills, proving quite difficult.

Solving them took more effort than before for Gu Chengyu.

He Cheng felt very resentful that Gu Chengyu and the others came over to assist again.

He fought fiercely, and with several blocks and slashes, made the hands of the two conical hat men holding swords go numb.

He broke away from the two and went to stab at Gu Chengyu’s back, knowing he had no chance against Gu Chengyu directly, he could only rely on a sneak attack.

There was no way Gu Chengyu would expose his back to the enemy. He sensed the killing intent behind him.

Giving a sharp kick to the black-clad man entangled amidst the chaos, he slashed diagonally, ending another.

Turning around with a chop, Ming Yan saw the situation and immediately stepped forward to shield his master, followed by Ming Mo, who also stabbed at He Cheng from behind.
