Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

76: Ambush halfway there, only one chance to kill!The end of the month was approaching. Zhao Ming and Chen Chuanwen, the two chess players, waited like poisonous dragons in the abyss. Once the time arrived, the Killing Intent would inevitably manifest!

Inside the Courtyard House in Kaoshan Village, Chen Changsheng was drinking tea with Chuanwen. The closer it got to the critical moment, the more composure they needed!

Suddenly, the sound of hoofbeats came from outside, and then Zhao Song’s figure appeared in front of the Courtyard House.

”Foster Father, Second Young Master, news from Xiao Er has arrived!”

As soon as Zhao Song dismounted, he hurriedly ran towards Chen Changsheng and the other. Chen Changsheng, however, was not in a hurry. He slowly poured a cup of tea for Zhao Song and said with a smile:

”Catch your breath before you speak; we aren’t short on these few minutes!”

Zhao Song took the teacup. Not minding that it was hot, he drank the tea in one gulp and then said impatiently:

”Xiao Er sent word. The list of people taking action is basically confirmed: the Innate Masters are Wei Tian and an Elder of the Lin Family. The Viper Gang, led by those below the Innate level, is responsible for the encirclement, and Zhao Zhiyi is personally overseeing the formation!”

”The others are all in position. Today, Lin Feng led men straight to Kaoshan Village overnight. Once they arrive tomorrow, they will all strike together!”

Chen Changsheng and Chuanwen looked at each other, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of Chuanwen’s mouth.

”Finally, they are making their move!”

Actually, once the great battle started, it would just be fighting. But the time spent waiting to enter the battlefield was the most stressful moment. Chen Changsheng and his son had been waiting, and the pressure on them had been growing. Now that the time to act had arrived, they felt more relaxed instead.

”Father, I will take Uncle Mantou now to ambush the Lin Family’s Innate Master! You can just wait at home for my return!”

Chen Chuanwen turned to leave, but Chen Changsheng grabbed him and said softly:

”Take Howling Heaven with you; that will make it more certain!”

When Chuanwen heard this, he frowned. Howling Heaven had always been the ballast guarding the Family; how could he take it away!

”Father, without Howling Heaven, who will protect you and the Family’s safety!”

Chen Changsheng smiled and said nonchalantly: ”Since we are acting, we must use our full strength. Your plan relies on speed to defeat slowness and strength to strike weakness. It won’t be very advantageous if Steamed Bun goes alone, but with Howling Heaven, the chances of victory are higher!”

”As for the safety of myself and this Family, it rests on you. If I can’t even trust my own son, then who else can I trust!”

Upon hearing this, Chuanwen couldn’t help but bite his lip. He was worried about his father’s and Family’s safety, but Chuanwen was rational—a near-cold rationality. He knew how to maximize benefits, so he accepted Chen Changsheng’s suggestion.

”Father, don’t worry. Before the Zhao Family acts tomorrow, your son will definitely return with the head of the Lin Family’s Innate Master!”

Chen Chuanwen bowed to his father, said nothing more, and turned to find Steamed Bun and Howling Heaven. They had to go and set the ambush today; there was no time to waste.

This was already the second cooperation between Chuanwen, Steamed Bun, and Howling Heaven. The last time was an ambush on the Zhao Family’s caravan, but at that time, Steamed Bun was only at the Blood Refining stage, while now he was an Innate.

”Uncle Mantou, we will go and wait at the intersection near the Prefecture City now. As soon as we see the Lin Family’s people, we must kill them as quickly as possible!”

Chen Chuanwen told Steamed Bun his plan. Steamed Bun nodded coldly as usual. Everything was ready. Chuanwen called out to Howling Heaven, and the man, the uncle, and the dog headed straight for the Prefecture City.

In the afternoon, Chen Chuanwen and Steamed Bun found a forest to tie up their horses, which were already exhausted, and let them recover their strength.

”Uncle Mantou, this is the ambush spot I’ve chosen. It’s a three-way intersection. Whether the Lin Family’s people are heading to Longwei County or Longkou County, this is a path they must pass through. We just need to ambush them here!”

Chen Chuanwen pointed to the three-way intersection ahead. Afterwards, he and Steamed Bun found a small forest to hide in, while Howling Heaven wandered around to scout. With its nose, it would definitely not let anyone escape.

The moon rose above the willow branches, and time quickly reached the middle of the night.

Chen Chuanwen and Steamed Bun remained energetic. They knew that tonight and tomorrow were the moments that would determine the survival of the Chen Family, so even though they had been focused on watching for a day, they dared not relax!

Finally, the sound of hoofbeats came from afar, and then a group of riders carrying torches arrived rapidly.

”Woo! Woo! Woo!”

A long howl came from behind. Chen Chuanwen immediately perked up, took his long saber in hand, and said softly:

”They’re finally here. Uncle Mantou, remember, quick victory!”

Steamed Bun nodded gently without speaking, and his figure disappeared silently into the darkness.

Chen Chuanwen carried his saber and walked to the intersection. Not far away, Howling Heaven also came to stand behind Chuanwen. The man and the dog blocked the intersection completely!

”What kind of people are you, daring to block the Lin Family’s path? Don’t you want to live?”

Before the riders arrived, arrogant shouts from the Lin Family members could be heard. A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Chen Chuanwen’s mouth. He didn’t want to waste any words. Today, he came with only one word in mind—Kill!

”It’s exactly your Lin Family I’m blocking. Howling Heaven, attack!”

As soon as Chuanwen’s words fell, Howling Heaven rushed towards the Lin Family’s horse troop like a bolt of lightning. With a wave of its sharp claws, people and horses were shattered, and it killed its way into the middle of them!

”It’s actually a Essence Spirit!”

An old voice came from the Lin Family’s horse troop, which was then drowned out by the screams of the crowd!

”Elder Lin, strike quickly!”

Lin Feng, who was on the side, was already scared silly. He scrambled off his horse in a panic, hid behind a rock, and shouted loudly with a trembling voice.

”Young Lord, do not worry. A mere Essence Spirit, watch me take it!”

An old voice sounded, and then an old man with gray hair rushed out of the crowd, holding a long sword. Killing Intent overflowed as he charged straight at Howling Heaven!

”Clang! Clang... Clang!”

This gray-haired old man should also be considered a master among Xiantian Martial Artists. His sword grew faster and faster, and his Killing Intent grew heavier and heavier, actually faintly suppressing Howling Heaven!

The remaining Lin Family members around, seeing the old man displaying his Divine Might, finally calmed down from their panic and fear.

”Haha, Elder Lin is truly powerful. Essence Spirits are hard to find. Capture this Essence Spirit and offer its corpse to the Immortal Master, and we will surely be heavily rewarded!”

Lin Feng, hiding behind the rock, saw that the situation was good and stepped out from behind the rock. The terror on his face disappeared, replaced by a touch of greed. He was truly worthy of Zhao Ming’s evaluation—a brainless dandy who valued wealth over his life!

In fact, given the strength of this gray-haired old man, if nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely be the winner in a prolonged battle. The Lin Family members clearly saw this.

But it was precisely at this moment that the unexpected happened!

A short blade and a black shadow, like an arrow released from a bow, aimed straight for the back of the Lin Family’s Innate Master at an extremely tricky angle!

The speed of that black shadow was so fast that the people present didn’t even have time to shout a warning!

In the blink of an eye, the Lin Family’s Innate Master’s many years of combat experience saved his life. He heard the sound of the wind and hurriedly turned around.

However, the angle Steamed Bun chose was too tricky. The Lin Family’s Innate Master couldn’t dodge this blade at all; he could only turn his body to avoid his heart’s vital point!

”Swish!”

The blade flashed, blood flew. Steamed Bun’s blade was just like that; once a target was chosen, it would not miss. He wouldn’t strike unless he was sure, and once he struck, blood would be shed!

An arm holding a sword fell to the ground, mixed with blood!
