personal bravery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three remaining Patrol Captains are more seasoned and experienced, making them better suited to oversee the team than Song Changming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After informing the Captain, Xie Shihuan and the three of them left the team, riding towards the opposing scouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they approached, Song Changming quickly scanned them, realizing they were dressed just like ordinary Jianghu Guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clothed in cotton robes and straw hats, each carrying a steel saber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Shihuan first displayed his identity token, then said, \"The token needs to be seen by your master personally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please wait a moment,\" said the scouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the informant returned with instructions, Song Changming and the others were allowed to follow them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such cautious behavior made this important figure even more enigmatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After riding a few miles on horseback, they saw a convoy parked near the mountain stream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About twenty to thirty people dressed as Jianghu Guests were guarding a carriage in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage was of ordinary design, not appearing prestigious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet those Jianghu Guests glared at the three of them with hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undoubtedly, the person seated inside the carriage was the important figure they were escorting this trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they neared the convoy, Xie Shihuan instructed Song Changming and Lu Zheng to stop, while he approached the carriage alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changming saw Xie Shihuan bow in greeting to the carriage, though he couldn’t hear what was being said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, he personally handed the token to the person inside the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly thereafter, a powerful voice came from inside the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, put away the swords, they’re one of us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the heavy atmosphere surrounding the convoy instantly dissipated, and the Jianghu Guests obediently sheathed their swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These people aren’t Jianghu people,\" Lu Zheng murmured softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, they’re more like government soldiers or officials,\" Song Changming whispered in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of their observational skills were keen, quickly discerning the distinctive traits that set these people apart from Jianghu people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, with Xie Shihuan’s previous deferential greeting, the important figure inside the carriage was likely a high-ranking official from outside the county, at least ranking higher than Xie Shihuan, perhaps even surpassing their Governor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that wasn’t the case, the Governor wouldn’t have resorted to such a major action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After both sides confirmed identities and reached an agreement, the convoy joined the cavalry team led by the Captain to return to the County City they came from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spread out,\" the Captain commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three hundred Cavalry Team immediately divided into formations, deploying in all directions to stay alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything suspicious happens on the road, they’ll be alerted in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disperse some of your men too,\" Xie Shihuan instructed Song Changming and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the cavalry team led by the Captain, he trusted the Patrol Guard he brought more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhao Long, take a few people and guard the north,\" Song Changming was arranging when suddenly signal smoke rose ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone reined their horses, their expressions changing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This signal smoke indicates enemy engagement ahead!\" Captain Fan Yun said, squinting with a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had just received this important person when enemies came, and from the direction of the County City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a coincidence, it’s easy to speculate that someone had received the message as they left the city and were now following them from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidently, the opposing party was prepared, targeting the important individual inside the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps without the Patrol Guard and Cavalry Army making such a large-scale exit to meet the person, this group would have struggled to pinpoint the target’s route and timing, forced to hide and ambush the convoy outside the County City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Xie, we leave this to you!\" Fan Yun, without hesitation, drew the Big Iron Spear from behind and raised it high with a shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining two hundred cavalry under his command immediately followed him, charging forward like an iron torrent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was their specialty, storming the battlefield!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s happening?\" A voice emerged from the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a slightly aged voice, though the person inside remained hidden, it likely belonged to an elder, faintly revealing tones of authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, enemy engagement,\" Xie Shihuan hesitated briefly but decided to speak the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sigh came from inside the carriage, \"As expected, they’ve come. I place my life and safety in your hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, Master, we’ll guard and not let those thieves approach!\" The original convoy of dozens of Jianghu Guests drew their swords, with one of them speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arm the crossbows,\" Song Changming ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forty Patrol Guards under his command immediately took out strong crossbows, loaded the crossbow arrows, and prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the sounds of slaughter from ahead, the sound of iron hooves galloping, continued endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re coming!\" Within the convoy, several observant individuals sensed the impending danger from the changing noises ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, a group of cloaked, mysterious individuals appeared before everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had breached the Cavalry Army led by the Captain, advancing to this location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were about thirty people, all possessing remarkable Light Body Skill, either flying close to the ground or gliding through the air like they had wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over two hundred Patrol Guards had been waiting with crossbow arrows ready and unleashed hundreds to thousands of crossbow arrows in dense, covering fire as the group drew near.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how outstanding their Light Body Skill was, they ultimately had no place to hide and could only deal with the barrage of crossbow arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several rounds of relentless shooting, some within the group began to sustain injuries, and others were shot dead and fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the advantage of numbers, and the ranged firepower was sufficiently strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a rain of arrows, ordinary people would retreat helplessly even if they were Martial Artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these attackers were fearless, bravely enduring the incoming crossbow arrows, quick to close in on the convoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them fiercely swung their sleeves forward, a cloud of white powder blew toward the convoy with the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not good, it’s poison powder!\" Lu Zheng, experienced, was the first to speak upon witnessing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changming frowned, held his breath, and led his team in retreat as the convoy also backed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, some people were infected by the poison powder, and soon several faces turned bitter, feeling increasingly numb throughout their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Martial Artists who had conditioned their bodies, ordinary poison powder generally couldn’t exert significant effects on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless it was a highly toxic substance taken internally, it would be difficult to avoid lethal danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the poison powder floating in the wind couldn’t kill conditioned Martial Artists, it made bodies feel numb, significantly reducing effectiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, some Patrol Guards fell in the blowing wind, unable to stand steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changming soon realized the subtle stinging on his skin and mild muscle soreness from the poison powder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the level of muscle soreness affected his capabilities only minimally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His physique was sufficiently robust, and the poison powder had a negligible impact on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Song Changming felt slightly relieved. Before the attackers could massacre the fallen Patrol Guards, he chose to draw his saber and engage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Lu Zheng and several Guard Captains, joined by skilled members of their teams, charged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They formed a second line of defense, engaging the enemies head-on near the official road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Shihuan stayed by the carriage with his ten Personal Guards, ensuring the safety of those inside, allowing no errors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the poison-powder-filled wind, Song Changming led the charge, his speed equally swift, not inferior to the enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he closed in on one enemy, his eyes filled with unabashed, intense killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Planting his foot heavily, he powered up, extended his arm, and swung his Dragon Pattern Saber wide, flipping mid-air to deliver a downward strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strike was like thunder erupting from the ground, accelerating with over five thousand pounds of giant strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poison wind was ripped apart by his strike, the pressure exploded, resembling Mount Tai descending aggressively!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemy’s eyes widened in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No time to dodge, the saber was only halfway up before Song Changming’s saber cleaved through most of their body, sending the shattered corpse flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instant kill in one slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the other companions tense with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changming, young in age, demonstrated prowess that belied his appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landing on the ground, Song Changming immediately charged at other enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attackers scattered like startled birds, now wielding flying darts and Flying Sabers, launching them toward Song Changming as a downhill tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changming utilized his Light Body Skill, his footwork agile, dodging and blocking with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His left hand brushed his waist, drawing the Official Saber, which he launched using a special technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The saber’s edge pointed straight, leaving one target behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the target deflected the incoming saber, Song Changming closed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul-Breaking Blade Technique, Soul-Shocking Slash!\u003C\u002Fp>",1499,"2026-06-06T07:08:24.971Z",1,"novelbin.me","e3d7f6e9000263d6f0582533e846016237ca586498af1c739da9efb715f8537b","eternal-life-my-lifespan-increases-daily-chapter-80","eternal-life-my-lifespan-increases-daily-chapter-78",478,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-my-lifespan-increases-daily-cover.jpg"]
