Chapter Fifty-Seven: Interception
Fang Tian Nan was surrounded by a crowd of people, but his face did not show any signs of panic.
Previously, Fang Tiannan had a fight with one of them. The opponent's moves were extremely fierce and the attacks were aimed at Fang Tiannan's body. However, from the opponent's sword moves, Fang Tiannan did not feel any substantial killing intent. Although on the surface, these people seemed to be targeting "assassinating" Fang Tiannan, he was still able to judge in a very short time that they were more likely thinking of "looking for trouble".
Otherwise, Fang Tian Nan wouldn't have kindly stopped in his tracks and turned to talk to them. It's better to directly grab the opportunity from before, where the opponent had a chance to explode back, take the initiative, and be able to kill one person is one person.
Fang Tiannan's experience in fighting against martial artists was not very rich. As an ordinary disciple of Qingyun Sect, Fang Tiannan's strength was too weak, and he didn't have the ability to find someone to fight with. Unless absolutely necessary, it was rare for him to conflict with others.
After entering the realm of Huajing, Fang Tiannan only adapted for a few days and when he took action, it was limited to familiar people's matches. To be honest, even his battle with Wu Yunbao on the arena was more like a "routine" training.
However, this does not mean that Fang Tian Nan's heart is not ruthless enough.
An ordinary child of the Qingyun Sect, after three years of training in Qingyun Town, accumulated 1,000 sect contribution points. If one didn't work hard, it would be impossible.
So, after knowing that the people in front of him were all disciples of Qingyun Sect, Fang Tian Nan did not show any panic even when he was surrounded by everyone.
。。。。。。
"We are who you don't need to know." The man who had previously fought against Fang Tian Nan said, "But as for you, we are very clear about that."
"So, I should thank you again. You're waiting for me here in the middle of the night?" Fang Tian Nan looked at him and said with a hint of playfulness, "Actually, I don't need to ask too much. The fact that I can pass through here tonight means there aren't many people who knew about it beforehand, right?"
The response to Tian Nan's question was a deep silence.
Fang Tian Nan, however, seemed rather nonchalant and calmly glanced around at the few people before speaking up: "Alright then, you all must know that I have something to attend to tonight and need to hurry along. If there's anything you want, just say it out loud. I don't have much time to waste here with you all."
"Now that we've met, wanting to get past us easily isn't going to be easy." One of them, surprisingly a woman, spoke up and said to Fang Tian Nan, "Unless you pay a certain price."
"That's right, that's how it is." Someone else chimed in, "Your combat strength isn't weak, but we're not pushovers either. If you don't leave something behind, you'll be staying here till dawn tonight."
"So it seems I have no choice but to take action?" Fang Tian Nan muttered softly.
These people, able to lie in wait at midnight on this side, Fang Tian Nan didn't need to guess, he knew for sure that someone had leaked the message that he had a mission tonight and must pass through this side. At first, Fang Tian Nan was indeed shocked and full of vigilance.
However, when he saw that these people did not disguise themselves as disciples of other sects, still wearing the attire of Qingyun Sect and appearing in front of him without covering their heads and faces, Fang Tian Nan understood that this group of people was completely unafraid of tonight's events being exposed.
To put it bluntly, I never thought I'd really have to kill Fang Tian Nan.
There are people with such thoughts, Fang Tiannan pondered, should be coming for the news that just leaked out of the sect, about Fang Tiannan entering the Transmission Cave Heaven. Especially that woman, also mentioned the price, Fang Tiannan would naturally think of the six Qingyun Sect disciples who entered the Transmission Cave Heaven, each of whom obtained a bottle of elixir.
Fang Tian Nan quickly ran through all the guesses in his mind, and suddenly, he turned his eyes and asked: "You can stand here at this time, should be the message from the three brothers of the Wu family, right?"
The crowd remained silent in response.
"Hehe, you don't admit it, that's okay." Fang Tiannan smiled lightly and said, "Who can know my fighting strength in advance, clearly know I'll pass by here tonight, and also have conflicts with me... probably only Wu Yun, right?..." Then, Fang Tiannan suddenly thought of something and continued to say, "He did come up with a good idea."
This time's ambush, whether it can cause trouble for Fang Tiannan or not, Wu Yuncai will definitely not care too much. Anyway, he himself did not appear here, so it cannot be considered as bullying the weak by the strong, even if someone finds out, he can still shirk responsibility. Besides, with Fang Tiannan's identity as a newly promoted outer sect disciple, being able to enter the Transmission Cave Heaven will inevitably trigger jealousy among many people within the Qingyun Sect.
These are all understandable for Fang Tian Nan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have discussed with Xiao Ruo and others yesterday to leave first and avoid the storm.
It was just that Fang Tian Nan didn't expect that in this mission, Wu Yun Cai would also be participating. This must have led to him being ambushed tonight.
Fang Tian Nan subconsciously touched his nose and pondered, what if he chose to act with Xiao Ruo and Di Jianming together?
。。。。。。
It's already happened, and Fang Tian Nan doesn't have anything good to complain about. The hatred between himself and the three Wu brothers has been added another thick layer.
At present, what's pressing is that Fang Tiannan needs to get rid of the entanglement of these people in front of him and arrive at the task gathering point on time. Otherwise, who knows if Captain Fang Chang will be waiting there? If he misses this task because of this, it would be a huge loss for Fang Tiannan.
"Then let me see, you few, can't make me pay the price?" Fang Tian Nan made up his mind and quickly adjusted his mood, saying, "I won't say any more unnecessary words. If I can win against your Qingyun Sword, then we'll do it according to your wishes. But if I happen to win a move or two, then let's consider tonight's events as if they never happened, how about that?"
"Good!" Someone who had fought with Fang Tian Nan before nodded in agreement, "Indeed worthy of someone who has entered the Transcendence Cave Heaven."
"Brother, are we going to take turns fighting or go up together?" The woman asked in a low voice.
"Haha, …" The man who had a fight with Fang Tian Nan before burst out laughing and then looked at Fang Tian Nan, saying, "To be honest, Fang Tian Nan, we didn't intentionally make things difficult for you. From our previous fight, you should have also noticed that I'm also a fire-attribute warrior. That day in the You Ming Mountains, I arrived slightly late. However, this is also my biggest regret. It's said that only fifteen people can enter the Transmission Cave Heaven. Once the quota is full, others won't have another chance to enter. And you're the last one who entered the Transmission Cave Heaven. If it weren't for your appearance, that quota might have been mine. Tell me, do I have the qualifications to compete with you tonight?"
"Yes!" Fang Tian Nan nodded heavily.
Although it's not hard to hear a few words of strong language from the person in front of him, in fact, even if Fang Tian Nan hadn't appeared at first, he might not have been able to enter the Transmission Cave Heaven. However, the other party would have such an idea, and Fang Tian Nan had no way to stop it.
It's probably not just this man in front of me, but the others as well, each with their own reasons. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gathered together and appeared here tonight.
It was as if among the six, there was only one woman, and at a glance, it was clear that she had come to cheer on her senior brother. In addition, apart from the man with fire attribute energy, there were two others who caught Fang Tian Nan's attention.
One person, with a cold and gloomy aura, blended in perfectly with the night. Since their appearance, they hadn't uttered a single word. Another person, who had previously echoed the woman's words, suggested that Fang Tian Nan should leave something behind as compensation. At first glance, this person seemed greedy, but judging from their aura, Fang Tian Nan thought to himself that this person was actually the strongest among the six.
Instead, it was the remaining two people who gave Fang Tiannan a feeling that had several parts of watching a lively scene.
