Ma Jiamen: I was forced to fight for supremacy

After Ma Zhan briefly used his protective Qi to resist the ashes, he quickly made two wet face towels.

One of them covered his own mouth, nose and ears, and the other handed it to Zheng Xiaoqiao.

Zheng Xiaoqiao took the face towel without hesitation and wrapped it around her face.

Ma Zhan said, "It's not the best choice for you to come with me. Besides the dangers in the secret realm, the people from Guanlong might cause trouble for me. Think carefully about it."

Zheng Xiaoqiao said without hesitation: "Among these people, I only trust you."

Ma Zhan nodded and didn't worry about it anymore.

According to the records in the notes, Ma Zhan began to search for the burned palace according to the direction of the sun.

The whimpering sound in my ears became more and more frequent, and this miserable sound made me feel scared.

Zheng Xiaoqiao followed Ma Zhan closely, always paying attention to the movements around him.

Suddenly, she vaguely saw two dark shadows floating in the air.

"Alert~"

Ma Zhan let out a low growl, then took out his iron crossbow, bent his body slightly, and headed towards the black shadow.

Seeing Ma Zhan's quick reaction and smooth movements, Zheng Xiaoqiao wondered if this brother, who was a few years younger than her, had military experience.

Ma Zhan slowly moved to the side, trying to find cover.

The black shadow seemed to sense the movements of Ma Zhan and Zheng Xiaoqiao and quickly floated towards them.

"Buzz, buzz~"

Ma Zhan pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the crossbow arrow engraved with evil-suppressing patterns instantly pierced into the bodies of the two black shadows.

Following two shrill screams, the two black shadows turned into ashes and disappeared.

Ma Zhan put away his crossbow, took out a loose black robe, and wrapped himself and Zheng Xiaoqiao in it.

The black robe, the same color as the scorched earth, temporarily concealed the two of them.

Under the black robe, Zheng Xiaoqiao and Ma Zhan were huddled together, and Zheng Xiaoqiao could even hear Ma Zhan's strong heartbeat.

The next moment, countless whimpering sounds were getting closer and closer. A dozen black shadows gathered at the crossbow arrow that fell on the ground, searched around it for a while, and then dispersed.

The whimpering sound gradually faded away. Ma Zhan took off his black robe and continued to move forward.

The blush on Zheng Xiaoqiao's face slowly disappeared, and she continued to observe the movements around her.

Wang Zhengben and his group's way of advancing was much bolder than Ma Zhan's.

He held an oil lamp in his hand, and all the dark shadows illuminated by the lamp were trapped in place and killed by other Guanlong disciples.

The two good brothers of the tiger tribe were even more simple and brutal. They had no magical tools prepared to suppress the evil spirits. When they encountered the black shadow, they simply drove it away with a powerful tiger roar.

People came from all directions and headed towards the tallest palace in the center.

The sun was like a dim lamp, hanging there, motionless.

According to Ma Zhan's calculations, when he was two-thirds of the way there, he discovered an unusual broken statue.

Ma Zhan whispered: "Stop!"

The two of them, Zheng Xiaoqiao stood quietly where they were, while Ma Zhan observed the statue carefully.

The charred appearance made it impossible to tell what it was.

The presence of a statue in this scorched earth is very abrupt.

Sure enough, the statue moved and turned slowly.

Looking at the outline, it looks like the shape of a person.

The statue ran towards the two of them, and the sound of metal friction between its joints irritated the eardrums, making people feel uncomfortable all over.

Ma Zhan frowned, raised his hand and shot two arrows.

With two sounds of "ding, ding~", the crossbow arrow was shattered by the bronze statue. Ma Zhan twitched his mouth, took out his tiger stick and rushed forward.

The bronze statue holds a bronze dagger in both hands and rushes towards Ma Zhan in a charging posture.

Ma Zhan exerted force from his waist and back, and smashed the bronze statue's head with seventy-two hammers without holding back.

"Dang~"

With a loud bang, half of the bronze statue's head was smashed in, and the dagger in its hand kept stabbing towards Ma Zhan's chest.

Ma Zhan turned sideways to avoid the assassination, and turned his body. He swung the tiger stick at the waist of the bronze statue again. There was another loud bang. The waist of the bronze statue collapsed and it staggered due to the huge impact of the tiger stick.

After Ma Zhan struck the statue twice, he used inertia to strike it again, and then again. Although the statue was resistant to blows, its joints were not very flexible.

Ma Zhan used the blacksmithing skills he had learned from Ma Ba, hammering down one after another, using the full force of his 72 hammers.

Ma Zhan didn't stop until the human-shaped bronze statue no longer had any human shape and had completely turned into a pile of scrap copper.

Those dark shadows floating in the air seemed to be very afraid of the sharp noise.

After fighting for a long time, the whimpering sound was no longer heard.

The two continued to move forward, and behind a few crumbling low walls, Ma Zhan and Zheng Xiaoqiao stopped for some supplies.

After the rest, Ma Zhan pulled Zheng Xiaoqiao to the wall and made a gesture to keep quiet.

Although Zheng Xiaoqiao was confused, he did not raise any objections.

After about a quarter of an hour, two black figures slowly walked towards the low walls.

One of the people who came was Lang Xuan, the prince of the Black Iron Royal Court of the Wolf Clan, who was driven into the valley by the Liang State.

One is the fifth Hyena, the son of a general in the barbarian royal court in the northern grasslands.

The two people being followed suddenly lost their trace. With Lang Xuan's tracking skills, it wouldn't be impossible for them to find any trace at all.

Lang Xuan and the Fifth Hyena decided to investigate the place where the two disappeared.

Lang Xuan habitually used his nose to lead the way, sniffing forward continuously.

Suddenly, Lang Xuan's eyes widened, and with a dull "bang", a tiger's head hit Lang Xuan's nose heavily.

His face instantly became bloody and he screamed as he was about to transform back into his true form.

Before the fifth hyena could prepare, two crossbow arrows pierced his knees.

Then Ma Zhan flashed out and stabbed the dagger into Lang Xuan's waist.

Lang Xuan and the Fifth Hyena were not fatally injured, but Ma Zhan's crossbow and dagger were poisoned with a deadly poison that could kill instantly upon contact with blood.

The two of them died without struggling for a few breaths.

Ma Zhan and Zheng Xiaoqiao concealed their presence in advance just to lure them over.

The reason why he didn't hit the vital points was because Ma Zhan thought that anyone who could enter the secret realm of Xianyang would have one or two life-saving magic weapons.

After dealing with the two hyenas, Ma Zhan breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to search for their treasure.

As he bent down, the iron crossbow hidden under his sleeve shot out three crossbow arrows in succession.

"Flash~"

Ma Zhan shouted loudly, and took advantage of the momentum to roll forward. Zheng Xiaoqiao followed closely behind him and slipped out from the low wall.

The next moment, two gusts of wind came whistling.

"Bang bang~"

The originally dilapidated low wall was blasted into dust.

From the direction where the Ma Zhan crossbow arrow was shot, a young man in black clothes and holding a Panlong stick came.

From the way he walked and his unconcealed iron-blooded aura, Ma Zhan was certain that he was a soldier.

The Panlong Stick, this unpopular weapon, if not used properly, will hurt yourself first.

This person must be an expert in the army.

"Guanlong people."

The man in black had a resolute expression on his face and said in a cold voice:

"As expected of someone who could write "Chrysanthemum Fu", you are no ordinary person."

Ma Zhan no longer concealed his murderous intent and said.

"I didn't want to cause trouble for you, but you forced me to kill all of you Guanlong people."

"It's shameless to talk big."
