Chapter 299: Encounter After Encounter (1)

Translator: 549690339

This Yin Posthouse wasn’t big, but it was quite small.

There weren’t many people in the Yin station, only four or five of them were setting up stalls.

Other than that, there was only Xu Bai who was an outsider.

When Xu Bai sensed something strange, he raised his head and saw more than ten people coming in.

These people led their horses and entered the Yin Posthouse. After tying up their horses, they began to find a place to rest.

However, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that these people knew each other.

They didn’t seem to want to hide it and were just going through the motions. They exchanged glances with each other in a rather conspicuous way.

Xu Bai’s gaze swept past the waist of the man and his eyes narrowed.

Each of them had a long sword hanging at their waist. Although the style of the long sword was different, they were all the same weapon.

“Twelve.” Xu Bai roughly counted and took another bite of dry food, pretending not to care.

His current situation was special, and he had encountered something special.

He would wait and see.

Among the twelve people, the leader was a man about thirty years old. He wore a low-key cotton shirt and looked very ordinary.

After he entered the Yin Posthouse, he glanced at Xu Bai subconsciously and then continued to rest, as if he didn’t take Xu Bai seriously.

Xu Bai had been eating while thinking.

After a while, he finished the rest of his rations and stood up.

Initially, he had been observing whether the other party was here to kill him, but now it seemed that they were.

The reason was none other than the glance the leader had given him at the

beginning.

His gaze was very calm, and it didn’t even linger on Xu Bai.

Perhaps this kind of gaze was nothing in normal times.

But this was the Yin Posthouse, and Xu Bai was the only one in the Yin Posthouse.

If it was a normal person, they would at least look at it for a while. After all, it was the only one who was not a courier.

However, the man in the lead swept his gaze over them and pretended to be careless. He was acting too much.

Of course, this was just Xu Bail s guess. He might have guessed wrong, but it was not a big problem.

He was leaving anyway, so he just had to be careful.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai walked to his horse and rode away from the Yin Posthouse.

After Xu Bai gradually left the Yin Posthouse, the twelve of them looked at each other.

Someone couldn’t help but ask,””Boss, why aren’t we attacking?”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the leader. “Are you tired of living?”

What kind of place was the Yin Posthouse? No matter how small the Yin Posthouse was, it was still part of Great Chu.

Their goal was not the Yin Posthouse, so it was better to avoid trouble.

At this point, the leader made a gesture and said,”Follow them, wait until they reach a quiet place, and then directly make a move.””

“Yes, sir!” Everyone nodded and rode their horses, chasing after Xu Bai.

Outside the Yin Posthouse.

The leader looked at the empty wilderness and frowned.

They had waited for a while, but Xu Bai was nowhere to be seen. Fortunately, there were still hoof prints on the ground.

“Follow the hoof prints.” The leader said.

“Yes, sir!” The other eleven people agreed and chased after the horse prints.

After passing the Yin Posthouse, there was a vast wilderness. Twelve people rode on horses and galloped through the wilderness.

The leader followed the horse tracks. The further he chased, the more he felt that something was wrong.

The feeling of unease continued to spread.

Just like that, they chased for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before a withered tree appeared not far ahead.

Beside the withered tree, there was a horse.

“It’s Xu Bai’s horse!” The leader was stunned for a moment before he reacted.”We’ve been tricked!”

There was only one horse left in the wilderness. This undoubtedly meant that the other party already knew about their matter.

“Alert!”

The leader shouted.

The remaining eleven people reacted quickly as well. They got off their horses and stood in different positions, looking around vigilantly.

Everyone was standing in a different position. When they found their respective positions, they gave off a feeling of being like iron buckets.

Formation!

These twelve people were using a unique formation.

When the array was just formed, a voice sounded in the wilderness.

“I was wondering what kind of ability he had. So it’s a formation. No wonder he dared to chase after me.”

The leader was shocked. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xu Bai standing not far away, looking at them with a mocking expression.

“Kill them!”

Since he had already been discovered, he no longer hid it and shouted loudly.

The remaining eleven people followed behind the leader and chased after Xu

Bai at an extremely fast speed.

Even though it was extremely fast, it was still not disrupted.

Murderous intent rose from their bodies, making this desolate wilderness seem unusually somber.

Xu Bai looked at the 12 people rushing over and smiled. He extended his right index finger.

He pointed his index finger at the sky, and the purse on his waist began to shake violently.

In the next moment, countless copper coins flew out of the money pouch and revolved around Xu Bai as if they were alive.

“Whoosh!”

The sound of air being torn apart rang out, and it was especially clear in the wilderness.

As the first copper coin flew out, the remaining hundreds of copper coins seemed to have received an order and all flew towards the twelve people.

Hundreds of copper coins flew in the air, and the scene was extremely shocking.

“Defend!”

Seeing this, the leader shouted.

The 12 of them changed their formation, from the initial sharp knife shape to a semicircle.

The first few dozen copper coins were picked up by the long sword and changed their direction.

The twelve of them brandished their swords in succession, and they did so in an airtight manner..
