Sui and Tang Dynasties: Awakening the Supreme Skills at the Beginning

Along the way, everyone looked at the carriages loaded with food and were in high spirits.

What does it matter if the Cui family suppresses us?

The boss can still get food!

He also won the hearts of the poor people in Xiaozhang Village and saved so many lives!

All this cost only a few hundred taels of silver!

Being able to follow a young talent like my boss is a blessing that I can’t achieve in several lifetimes!

I must work hard and never let down this precious opportunity to show my loyalty!

The group walked like this until they arrived at a small woods ten miles away from Chang'an City.

A mile away, ten masked gangsters were lying in wait in the woods, holding shining swords, quietly waiting for Li Zhen and his men to enter their ambush circle...

The leader had a cold and arresting look in his eyes. He lay there like a monster, without any emotion but making people tremble with fear.

The others stayed away from him, and looked at him with a hint of fear in their eyes.

The masked leader waved his hand, and everyone had to move closer to him.

"Our target is the rich young man who is dressed like a gentleman. He has ten men under him. One of them has decent martial arts skills, and the rest are peasants. Xiaosan, Xiaosi, and Xiaowu, the three of you will be responsible for dealing with the capable fighter. Xiaoer, Xiaoyi, and Xiaoliu, the three of you will deal with the remaining nine. The rest of you will follow me to kill the young man."

"promise!"

The other nine people agreed in unison.

The masked leader said, "One hundred taels for beheading one of the followers, one hundred taels for chopping the boy with a knife, and one thousand taels for killing the boy. Such a lucrative job is hard to come by in several lifetimes. Don't hold back, fight to the death!"

"promise!"

The nine men bowed and shouted coldly in unison.

Usually when gangs fight and ask them for help, there will be a lot of people rushing to help for ten taels of silver. A chop with a sword only earns ten taels of silver, and killing a person only earns a hundred taels of silver. Now the price has increased tenfold. They are naturally very excited to have encountered such a lucrative job.

"Boss, did you get the money? Give us some first?"

One of the masked men asked timidly.

The black-clothed and masked man who was leading the group glared, and an invisible pressure enveloped the masked man.

The masked man shrank his neck, his whole body hair stood on end, and he was too scared to speak.

However, someone next to him continued to ask.

"Although according to the rules, we should settle the bill after the job is done, but this time it's a beheading deal. What if our brothers get killed? Where can we go to ask for money?"

"Yes, yes!"

The remaining few people responded one after another.

The masked leader glared at them coldly, shouted a curse, then reluctantly took out a package and threw it to everyone.

There were nine hundred taels of silver in the package.

"One hundred taels per person. I'll give you these first, and we'll give you the rest after we're done!"

The leader, a masked man in black, said expressionlessly. Looking at his expression, it was uglier than if his father had died.

The masked men in black were all smiling happily, not caring at all about the emotions of the masked leader.

After each of them received one hundred taels of silver, the black-clothed and masked man who was leading the group suddenly raised his hand and whispered.

"Everyone get ready, the fat sheep is coming!"

The other masked men became alert, tightly gripped their swords and guns, and stared at the carriage and the group of people approaching from afar.

Li Zhen was sitting in the carriage when a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

It was a scene where a group of masked men in black attacked them and killed them.

This is the new ability that Li Zhen has just awakened from his supreme practice - predicting the future.

It can bring to Li Zhen's mind the scenes that will appear in the future.

Li Zhen was startled and raised his right palm, signaling the carriage to stop.

Two or three carriages slowly stopped. Everyone didn't know what was going on and looked at Li Zhen curiously.

"Someone is planning to rob you on the road. Everyone, be prepared. When the robbers come, don't worry about the food. Just run. In my eyes, personal life is the most important!"

Li Zhiyong and others were shocked.

Although food was hard to come by, when there was real danger, Li Zhen did not hesitate to ask them to give up food and escape.

Apart from anything else, just based on the boss's kindness, they must protect the food and not let the thieves succeed.

Li Erhai began distributing sticks for self-defense.

Li Zhiyong stepped forward and saluted Li Zhen.

"Boss, I'll take care of everything here. You and your brothers will step back and leave these bandits to me!"

The night before yesterday, the winery was set on fire, and Li Zhiyong was very upset.

Now that the chance for revenge has come, how could he not seize it and make a good impression among his boss and his brothers.

The masked men who had been lying in ambush saw the convoy stop and immediately became nervous, fearing that Li Zhen and others would discover something and the convoy would turn around and flee.

However, not long after, the masked man's surprised voice came, "Here they come, here they come, everyone get ready!"

Only then did everyone feel relieved.

Li Zhen and others drove the carriage closer and closer...

"Bah!"

At this moment, a masked man suddenly jumped out and shouted loudly, as if a thunderbolt in a clear sky.

"I built this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, leave money to buy the road!"

"Everyone, leave the food and lives behind!"

Ten masked men jumped out together and surrounded Li Zhen and others.

When Li Zhiyong and others saw the masked man in black appear, they were not surprised at all. Instead, they calmly set up their formation and became alert with Li Zhen's carriage as the center.

Li Zhen did not move. He also wanted to see everyone's attitude and strength first.

Li Zhiyong took the lead, holding a wooden stick as thick as a bowl, and came up to the masked man with a cold smile.

"I, Li Zhiyong, am here. Don't act so arrogantly. Watch out!"

As he said that, he used his strength to split Huashan Mountain. With a whoosh, the wooden stick smashed towards the masked man's head with the sound of wind.

Looking at the force, momentum, and speed, if the masked man was hit by the wooden stick, his head would definitely explode.

The men in black did not dare to delay and immediately divided into three teams according to their leader's deployment and attacked Li Zhen and others.

Li Zhiyong's stick missed, but his movements did not slow down at all. He faced the three people opposite him, using his military fighting skills to fight with them.

Li Erhai, Wang Qingshan and others also picked up sticks and fought against the masked men on the opposite side, but they had no combat training and soon suffered casualties.

Looking at the broken limbs and blood all over the ground, the people in the workshop team began to feel exhausted.

Two people shouted at the same time, dropped their sticks, turned around and ran away.

Li Zhen looked at the backs of the two men and secretly memorized their names.

Soon, Li Erhai, Wang Qingshan and others fell in a pool of blood.

And at this time.

Li Zhiyong, on the other hand, won victory after victory.

Li Zhiyong is indeed a martial arts expert in the army. His fighting power is not something that ordinary people can contend with. Within three or four encounters, Li Zhiyong knocked the three masked men in black to the ground.

The black-clad and masked man who was leading the group took a look and couldn't help but gasp and shouted sternly.

"This is a tricky idea. Let's all come together and chop him up!"

When the other masked men saw this, they all rushed forward, surrounded Li Zhiyong, and hacked and killed him.

Although Li Zhiyong was a good fighter, he was no match for four people, and the leader of the masked men soon found a flaw in his opponent's chest. Li Zhiyong was stabbed in the chest with a sword, and blood gushed out of his mouth. Li Zhiyong's body slowly fell to the ground.

On his deathbed, Li Zhiyong glanced at Li Zhen who was sitting steadily in the carriage, and a look of guilt appeared on his face.

"Boss, I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you. I can only wait until the next life to repay you for saving my life!"

As he spoke, Li Zhiyong lost his vitality.

At this time, except for Li Zhen, Li Zhen's side had not taken action yet. Li Zhiyong's life or death was unknown, and the rest of the people were either dead or injured. The situation was unfavorable!

"Boy, all your men are dead or injured. Who can save you now?"

The masked man in black who was leading the group sneered, swung the sword in his hand, and stabbed towards Li Zhen's neck.
