Cultivators Are So Weak in This World-Chapter 242 - 220 Central Plan Part 2

Boom!

Not far away, a carriage explosively burst open, and Princess Yongxiang and an old man in black flew up like birds, their four arms interlocking, each clash producing thunderous booms.

In the blink of an eye, the two vanished into the forest, evidently finding a separate place to duel.

Otherwise, just the aftermath of their fight would have decimated the entire convoy.

With the two strongest fighters gone, the rest engaged in individual battles.

The two Spiritual Vein experts accompanying Princess Yongxiang also ignored the others and pursued the Princess.

Meanwhile, the convoy guards fought and clashed with the black-clad men, but after only a few moves, they were led away into the forest.

Zhang Rongfang surveyed the surroundings, sensing something amiss. Yet he couldn’t quite pinpoint what was wrong.

He was guarded by three bodyguards, gathering with the other maids and servants in the convoy to form a defense.

Everyone on the perimeter formed a protective circle, and they stayed inside to be shielded.

For a moment, wherever the firelight reached and didn’t, there was a cacophony of clashing and slashing sounds.

Some people had even entered the Extreme State, with blood vessels bulging all over their bodies, looking exceptionally frightening.

But even so, they couldn’t stop the relentless wave of black-clad men.

The surrounding trees, slender ones were broken, thick ones gouged.

Large fragments of wood flew, dirt and stones sprayed like raindrops, causing the white oxen and the crowd to cry out in pain.

Zhang Rongfang leaned against the carriage, watching the surrounding black-clad men with constant vigilance.

This sudden, bizarre group of black-clad men, what was their aim? Were they targeting the Commandery Princess or him?

At this moment, Zhang Rongfang’s first thought was still the secret key to the Celestial Maiden hidden on him.

If these people were after the secret key....

Then.....

Beside him now, a man and a woman in attendant clothes were tensely watching the black-clad men battling outside.

Unlike the others, though, they appeared to be watching outward, yet unconsciously edged closer to Zhang Rongfang.

Their gazes occasionally intersected, silently exchanging signals.

The distance gradually closed.

Five meters.

Four meters.

Three meters.

Buzz.

Suddenly, a faint vibration sound rose subtly from the side.

"It’s a cannon! Scatter quickly!" the Captain of the Guard realized with a jolt and shouted.

But it was too late.

With a muffled boom, the mud on the side of the convoy exploded directly.

A massive amount of dirt and rocks flew like stones hitting water, scattering far more debris and fragments.

Amidst startled cries and terrified screams, the convoy scattered completely.

If they remained together, they’d be sitting ducks.

Everyone spread out automatically, each finding a place to hide.

The white oxen bellowed in fright, galloping away.

Zhang Rongfang darted into the nearest side of the forest at once.

In this era, cannon accuracy was not strong, so there must be artillerymen nearby responsible for calibration.

As long as he got out of the artillery’s line of sight, he could completely avoid cannon blasts.

His mind was also tightly wound.

He never expected those black-clad men to dare use cannons!

He hadn’t run far when he suddenly stopped.

Now, in the forest where he stood, it was dark all around, only silvery moonlight shining down through the foliage, illuminating small patches of ground.

"Come out, both of you," he said gravely.

From the front and back, in two directions, two figures seemed to realize they couldn’t stay hidden and stood up silently.

The two were clad in guard uniforms, the man was tall and robust, the woman slender and captivating, previously both close guards of Princess Yongxiang.

Unexpectedly, they now surrounded him here.

"Can you tell me why you’re after me?" Zhang Rongfang took a deep breath.

"Regrettably." The man spoke coldly, simultaneously scanning around to ensure no one else was nearby.

"I don’t know either of you, I’ve spent my time in the Great Capital in Celestial Treasure Palace training alone, never stirring up any trouble.

You should know, striking at me is striking at Celestial Treasure Palace, so could you spare my life? I’m willing to pay," Zhang Rongfang continued.

He could clearly see the attribute panels floating above their heads.

That’s why he truly wished to avoid conflict with them.

Both were Super Grade External Medicine experts, one Third Grade, one Fourth Grade, possessing formidable strength; a fight with them would be troublesome with him alone.

"Blame it on choosing the wrong path, worshipping the wrong master!" the man growled, "Attack!"

Without a word, the ground exploded under his feet, using the recoil, he charged forward like a projectile.

"Crack Gold, Shatter Jade·Break Thorn!"

In an instant, the man’s veins bulged, his skin reddened, he had entered the Extreme State.

He clasped his palms together, turning into a blood-red spike, viciously aiming for Zhang Rongfang’s chest.

At the same time, the nearby woman rushed forward, her upper body muscles rapidly bulging, her skin turning white like a snow sculpture.

"Crack Gold, Shatter Jade·Frost Everywhere!!"

The woman’s palms unleashed a flurry of shadows, like flying snowflakes falling towards Zhang Rongfang’s back.

"Too bad...."

Zhang Rongfang slightly turned his body.

"You two aren’t Spiritual Veins."

In a flash, his face twisted fiercely, swelling, his entire body bulging, his figure from one meter ninety rapidly expanded to two meters.

Just as the two approached, as he slightly turned.

It was then they noticed, Zhang Rongfang’s hands were already forming a triangle seal in front of his chest.

Multiple layers of Cultivation Technique states emerged rapidly on him, overlapping.

’Extreme State: Yin-Yang Confluence.’

’Extreme State: Brink.’

’Golden Toad Skill Burst Enhancement.’

’Limit-Breaking Skill: Shrinking Step.’

’Limit-Breaking Skill: Dark Stream.’

’Limit-Breaking Skill: Heavy Mountain!’

"Heavy Mountain!"

"Heavy Mountain!"

"Heavy Mountain!"

"Heavy Mountain!!!"

Countless red lines extended from the edges of Zhang Rongfang’s eyes, spreading, converging on the pupils.

His muscles, like a child’s random doodles, contorted into bizarre patterns on his skin.

All lines subtly reddened, as if about to bleed. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Boom!!

Lightning flashed, suddenly thunder rumbled in the clouds above.

Accompanied by the thunder was the nearly simultaneous sound of two massive impacts.

In the forest, Zhang Rongfang’s two-meter tall figure stood like a sculpture.

Behind him, his long hair fanned out, whipped by the wind, strands dancing like dense black snakes, strange and uncanny.

He stretched his arms forward and back, simultaneously meeting the two Limit-Breaking Skills head-on.

Amid punches and palms colliding.

The bodies of the two in front and back trembled.

"Sorry...." Zhang Rongfang slowly retracted his arms. "It’s been so long since I fought, I’m a bit excited."

"You.... how can... how is it possible...!!?" The man trembled more violently.

His pupils dilated, disbelief filling his eyes.

He and his junior sister attacked together, against a newly ascended Super Grade External Medicine...

Clearly....

They had seen him only just taking medicine, just breaking through....!!?

What was going on!? What was this...!?

This power had surpassed the normal External Medicine level, reaching the Inner Law realm....!

But...

Boom! Boom!!!

In an instant, their backs burst open with blood holes simultaneously.

Vast amounts of blood sprayed out with internal organs, scattering to the ground.

The two knelt, collapsing lifelessly, silent.

This was the effect of the Limit-Breaking Skill Dark Stream, able to penetrate power into the enemy’s body, akin to striking a bull across a mountain.

Without hesitation, Zhang Rongfang didn’t even glance at the two, turning to leave.

Within just two seconds, he disappeared into the forest’s darkness.

Right after he left.

A voluptuous, alluring figure swiftly swept across, landing, standing before the two fallen corpses.

The figure crouched, its profile revealed in the moonlight. It was none other than Princess Yongxiang, who had just fought.

She gently turned over the corpses, looking at their faces.

"Yuan Hong.... Liu Wuye...."

Pain flashed in her eyes. These two had been her close guards for many years, super-grade experts arranged by the Zhenyi Sect long ago.

Liu Wuye, in particular, was very close to her, now a four-time Super Grade External Medicine, originally planning for her to pay homage soon....

But now.... they’re all dead....

All perished at the hands of those black-clad men....
