Chapter 53 - Breakthrough of Divine Sense (2/2)
Seeing his reaction, Shiao Chen laughed at him badly, “He is just as beautiful as a girl. He would be a stunning beauty if he were dressed up.” Shiao Chen thought to himself.
Drinking, eating, and chatting, Shiao Chen’s frayed nerves were totally eased. He felt warm and comfortable. It seemed that his divine sense was enjoying a bath in the sunshine and about to be activated as every second went by. Shiao Chen felt that he was going to break through to the next level.
Leaning against the carriage with a faint smile and hollow eyes, Shiao Chen seemed to enjoy the scenery along the road unconsciously. However, if someone could look inside him, he could find continuous changes occurred in Shiao Chen’s divine sense.
“The divine sense is strengthened and refined. Now it’s comparable to that of those at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.” Shiao Chen came back to himself after quite a while and couldn’t help becoming excited.
“Brother, what happened?” Li Xiaoyi had been observing Shiao Chen and asked him immediately upon his excitement.
“Nothing. I was just indulged in my memory.” Shiao Chen made up an excuse randomly. After all, he couldn’t let others know what he had just experienced.
“Mounted gangsters. They are mounted gangsters!”
The people in front were in a panic and the situation was out of control. Screams coming from afar sent the whole queue into a total mess.
“En?” Shiao Chen frowned, stood up, and looked far into the distance, trying to figure out what happened.
He saw that guards of the five caravans were confronted with gangsters at the beginning of the queue. Occasionally passers-by assisted the guards with their weapons. After all, if they were not able to beat off the gangsters, all wouldn’t end up well.
Hundreds of meters away from the queue, hundreds of vicious gangsters came with rolling dust.
“Don’t panic! Form a circle! Keep the carriages in the front, guards in the back, and the old, the weak, women and children in the middle.”
As a leader, though astounded, the old managed to remain calm and issue orders loudly.
Servants and guards of caravans were experienced. They began to move after the initial panic.
The gangsters proceeded in an extremely fast speed. They came near in just seconds.
“Stop!”
Along with a shout, hundreds of gangsters stopped immediately. They whistled one after another just hundreds of meters away.
The shinning sabers were waved with a force and the queue was greeted with a sense of vicious killing intent. Lots of people in the queue turned pale.
“I’m Gu Yun. I’ve been traveling along this path for almost forty years. During the forty years, I get acquainted with numerous heads in this area and hand over agreed protection money annually without delay. Are there misunderstandings between us? I’m here trying to work up the nerve to ask heroes in the opposite who the leader is and if can I talk to him. We’d like to turn in a thousand taels of silver to buy heroes some liquor.” The old shouted to the opposite crowd at the beginning of the queue.
