205: Chapter 205 Fancy Explosions

Although Zhao Tianxiang strictly ordered the news of the Zhao family's warehouses being completely looted to be sealed off, it still caused quite a stir in the upper circles of Jianghai City.

After all, emptying three large warehouses overnight, not even sparing the gates, was truly a shocking method.

To maintain the operation of their pill factory, the Zhao family had to urgently transport raw materials from a neighboring city.

A massive convoy consisting of twenty heavy-duty trucks rumbled into the territory of Jianghai City.

To ensure safety, the Zhao family spent a fortune this time.

Not only did they dispatch the family's most elite Black Tiger Guards to escort them, but they also spent a large sum of money to hire two Martial Master Peak retainers to oversee the operation.

However, they did not know that at Black Wind Pass, the only way through, several pairs of eyes had long been watching them.

Black Wind Pass was a canyon terrain, with steep mountain walls on both sides and only a winding road in the middle.

At this moment, in a hidden recess on the cliff.

"They're here."

Old Drunkard lay behind a rock, holding a modified heavy sniper rifle in his hands.

The gun was pitch black, with a frighteningly thick barrel covered in complex runes.

Combined with specially made armor-piercing explosive rounds, it could even pierce through the Grandmaster Level protective aura.

Old Drunkard picked up the wine flask beside him and took a large gulp of strong liquor.

The spicy liquid flowed down his throat, and his eyes instantly became incredibly clear, a flash of brilliance crossing his previously murky pupils.

"Hiccup~"

He let out a hiccup and aimed the muzzle at the armored off-road vehicle leading the convoy.

"Yellow Great Immortal, it's up to you."

Beside him, Yellow Great Immortal chuckled, holding several formation flags in his hand, and slammed them into the ground.

"Rise!"

With his low shout, an invisible ripple instantly enveloped the entire canyon.

The speeding convoy suddenly fell into chaos.

"What's going on? Why has the road ahead disappeared?"

The driver of the lead vehicle shouted in terror.

In his vision, the originally straight road suddenly vanished, replaced by a cliff shrouded in mist.

No matter how he turned the steering wheel, the car seemed to be spinning in place.

"Oh no! It's an illusion formation!"

A Zhao family retainer sitting in the passenger seat turned pale, pushed open the door, and jumped out.

"Enemy attack! All units, be on guard!"

However, before he could finish speaking.

Bang!

A dull gunshot echoed through the canyon.

This retainer, who possessed the strength of a Martial Master Peak, didn't even have time to activate his protective spiritual energy before his head exploded like a watermelon.

Blood splattered onto the driver's face next to him.

"Ah!"

The driver let out a terrified scream.

Immediately after, gunshots rang out as densely as popping beans.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With every gunshot, a truck's tire burst or its hood was blown off.

Old Drunkard's marksmanship was incredibly precise.

He didn't shoot the ordinary drivers and guards directly, but instead focused on hitting the critical parts of the vehicles.

In less than a minute.

All twenty heavy-duty trucks broke down, paralyzed on the road, blocking it completely.

"Damn it, who the hell is it?"

Another surviving Zhao family retainer hid behind a truck, trembling with fear.

The fear of not being able to see the enemy made him almost collapse.

Just then.

Rumble!

A sound of footsteps that shook the earth came from above the cliff.

Everyone looked up and saw a huge rock being pushed down from the mountain.

And behind the rock followed a giant, like a demon god.

Iron Ox!

He was covered in a thick layer of rock armor, this was his innate battle skill "Rock Armor".

"Hey!"

Iron Ox roared and leaped down from the cliff, which was dozens of meters high.

Boom!

He slammed heavily into the middle of the convoy, the ground instantly cracked, and two trucks were knocked over.

"Leave the goods, and get out of here!"

Iron Ox waved the mace in his hand and smashed it onto the cargo box of a truck.

Crack!

The sturdy alloy cargo box was torn apart like paper, and the medicinal materials inside scattered all over the ground.

"Arrogant!"

Seeing only one enemy, the Zhao family retainer suddenly regained his confidence.

He drew his long sword, his figure like lightning, and thrust it towards Iron Ox.

"Die!"

However, facing this fierce sword strike, Iron Ox did not dodge or avoid it.

Clang!

The long sword struck Iron Ox's rock armor, sparking a series of sparks, without even breaking the skin.

"This... how is this possible?!"

The retainer widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"I don't like being poked with needles."

Iron Ox muttered honestly, and backhanded a slap.

Slap!

This slap was as fast as lightning, directly hitting the retainer's face.

The retainer was like a fly, directly slapped away, crashing heavily into the mountain wall, and passed out on the spot.

The remaining Black Tiger Guards, seeing this, dared not resist anymore.

Even the strongest retainer was slapped unconscious; if they went up, they would just be serving themselves up.

"Run!"

Someone shouted, and this group of Zhao family elites, who usually acted arrogantly, now abandoned their armor and fled, wishing they had two more legs, sprinting towards the outside of the canyon.

Iron Ox did not pursue.

The purpose of this operation was to destroy the Zhao family's economic lifeline, not to kill.

Killing too many people would easily attract official suppression, which would not be worth the loss.

"Time to work, time to work!"

Seeing that everyone had run away, Hou San crawled out from the shadows, rubbing his hands as he rushed towards the trucks.

"This is a whole twenty trucks of raw materials. If I hand them over to the boss, I can get a bunch of blind box rewards again."

On a mountain top in the distance.

Su Qingxue put down the binoculars in her hand and took a deep breath.

Her eyes were filled with shock.

She originally thought this was just a simple ambush.

But she didn't expect that this group of people's coordination would be so tacit.

Yellow Great Immortal's formation to trap the enemy, Old Drunkard's long-range suppression, Iron Ox's frontal charge, and Hou San's cleanup.

This was a perfectly coordinated special operations squad!

And their methods were extremely precise.

Only destroying vehicles, only robbing goods, trying their best not to kill.

This not only hit the Zhao family, but also left the Zhao family with a bunch of messes.

For the injured guards and drivers, the Zhao family not only had to pay for medical treatment but also pay compensation.

This was even more uncomfortable for the Zhao family than killing them directly.

"Lin Fan... where on earth did you find these freaks?"

Su Qingxue murmured to herself, her admiration for the young man far away in the capital growing even more.

He seemed to have an ability to turn decay into magic.

This group of villains, who might be seen as trash or useless in others' eyes, turned into the sharpest knives in his hands.

...

Two hours later.

The Zhao family mansion.

"What?! The convoy was robbed?"

Zhao Tianxiang, who had just woken up, felt his vision go black again upon hearing this news.

"How could it be robbed? That was the Black Tiger Guard! And two retainers!"

"Family head... the other side... the other side has a formation master, a sharpshooter, and a monster that is impervious to swords and spears..."

The subordinate who came to report had a mournful face.

"Our cars were all destroyed, the goods were all robbed, only the people all came back alive."

"People are all alive?"

Zhao Tianxiang was stunned for a moment, then became even angrier.

"What's the use of everyone being alive? I want the goods! The goods!"

Without raw materials, the pill factory would have to stop production.

Once the pill factory stops production, the Zhao family's capital chain will break.

And if those customers who pre-ordered pills can't get their goods, the breach of contract fees alone could bankrupt the Zhao family!

"This is a conspiracy! This is a conspiracy against our Zhao family!"

Zhao Tianxiang finally realized it at this moment.

These were definitely not ordinary robbers.

This was someone deliberately targeting the Zhao family, wanting to drive the Zhao family to death!

"Who is it? Who the hell is it!"

Zhao Tianxiang roared frantically, like a beast trapped in a cage.

However, what made him despair was.

He couldn't even touch the shadow of the enemy.

And this was just the second wave of the offensive.
