Chapter 32 Rune Contract
"Is it possession? Or reincarnation? It feels a bit like possession, but that guy seems to be practicing martial arts, not the cultivation methods of cultivators, nor the secret methods of Western magic wizards. Can martial arts reach that level?"
"Also, why is that guy called Liang Qichao?"
"Rune Contract? There is such a thing? It turns out that the five people were bound by the contract. However, the power of this contract is not very strong. It does not even protect the memory."
After checking the information he wanted, Liang Zifeng was a little shocked. He didn't expect that possession would happen in the world of martial arts. This means that the water in this world is not deeper than the world of cultivation, but it is not much different.
After breakfast, Liang Zifeng and his party set off again in their carriage. Their destination was still Yichun County.
However, what they didn't know was that not long after they left, Ma Rulong came alone to where Liang Zifeng and the others were camping. He looked at the bonfire that still had some sparks, then sensed the faint smell of blood in the air, and went straight to the place where the bodies of the five people were buried.
Looking at the uncovered ground and the range of the new soil, Ma Rulong knew that the five people were right there. He then checked nearby for a while and found no signs of a fight.
"How did he do it? One peak 5th rank and four 4th rank. Even for me, it would take some effort. Could the rumors be true? Did the amnesia allow that kid to obtain some incredible inheritance from somewhere else?"
Thinking that Liang Zifeng might possess a very powerful inheritance, a trace of greed flashed in Ma Rulong's eyes, but he immediately suppressed it. He knew that he might not be able to do anything to Liang Zifeng. If he wanted to obtain the other party's inheritance, he had to find a trustworthy helper.
"Maybe you can try with Big Brother."
Ma Rulong thought of his elder brother in Tiandao Sect. His elder brother was called Ma Jinpeng and was an elder of Tiandao Sect with the strength of early third rank.
Although Ma Jinpeng and Ma Rulong are half-brothers, Ma Jinpeng is still very good to his younger brother Ma Rulong. Otherwise, Ma Rulong would have been in great pain if he hadn't died in the incident with Tiandao Sect.
After looking in the direction of Yichun County, Ma Rulong flew away. He wanted to go back and think carefully about how to obtain the inheritance from Liang Zifeng without any risk.
……
Nearing noon, Liang Zifeng and his companions had already gone far away from Majiazhuang's sphere of influence. Along the way, they saw dilapidated scenes, and even some villages were empty. Corpses could be seen everywhere, like a ghost town.
Every time Liang Zifeng discovered a scene ahead that looked like hell on earth, he would let his younger sister and Leng Yuzhao stay in the car. It was okay to watch such scenes occasionally, as watching them too much would have a bad impact on the children's psychology. As for the third and fourth children, it didn't matter, as boys needed to endure all kinds of cruel tests.
"Huh? I finally met you, hehe."
Liang Zifeng, who was sitting in the carriage, discovered through his mental power that there was a group of more than 50 bandits lying in ambush on both sides of the road ahead, and it was obvious that they were their target.
Liang Zifeng stood up and sat on the shaft of the carriage, looking ahead with anticipation. When he was more than ten meters away from the ambush site of the bandits, he stopped the carriage.
"Third brother, fourth brother, both of you take your weapons and practice fighting later." Liang Zifeng said to the third and fourth brothers on both sides.
"Second brother, is there any highway robbery?" the fourth brother asked excitedly, while the third brother also had a face full of joy.
"Yeah." Liang Zifeng nodded, then shouted to the front, "Hey, those in front, stop hiding. The one sticking his butt out, why is he sticking it out so high? And the one holding the leaves, do you think I'm blind?"
Not long after Liang Zifeng's voice fell, a large group of people with fierce faces suddenly appeared on both sides of the road more than ten meters ahead of the carriage. Half of these people had leather armor protecting important parts of their bodies.
The clothes of other people were not patched like those of ordinary people, and everyone had a weapon in their hands, be it a sword, a bow and arrow, or a spear.
In short, he was not the kind of refugee-turned-bandit Liang Zifeng had encountered before. He should be a very powerful professional bandit, especially those bandits wearing leather armor, who all had fluctuations of internal force.
Among these bandits, there is one who is quite special. The special thing is that he is the only one wearing a general's armor, and his strength is also at the early sixth level. He is the only middle-level strongman among the bandits.
Liang Zifeng and his companions' carriage was surrounded by bandits in almost an instant. The armored bandit raised his arm, and the noisy bandits instantly quieted down.
The armored bandit leader looked at Liang Zifeng, then frowned slightly and began to mutter in his heart. After all, Liang Zifeng was too calm, which made him a little confused.
He looked at the third and fourth brothers again and sensed the aura of internal strength, but the most powerful one was only at the peak of rank 7. It was just that the weapons in their hands, the horizontal swords, were a bit strange and uncommon. To be a sword, they were too thin, but they were not long swords.
"Boy, which family are you from? Do your elders know that you are out playing at this time?" The armored leader asked Liang Zifeng.
"Haha." Liang Zifeng smiled faintly at the armored leader, and then said to the third and fourth brothers, "You two have been practicing for so long, it's time to test the results and clean up these bandits. If you can't do it, you won't have food to eat tonight."
"Ah? Second brother, that big guy seems to be of middle grade. The gap is too big. Who will clean up whom?" The fourth brother was unwilling when he heard it, and pointed at the armored leader and said.
"Except him." A thumb-sized iron bead appeared in Liang Zifeng's hand, and as soon as he finished speaking, the iron bead disappeared.
"boom!"
A muffled sound came from the armored leader next to him. After taking two steps back, he stood there motionless. Only his eyeballs could move, but the look of horror in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Haha, okay, third brother, I'll take action first." Seeing this, the fourth brother became excited and jumped off the carriage and rushed into the bandits.
"..." The third brother glanced at the dent on the armored leader's chest, then excitedly rushed into the bandits and started fighting.
The third and fourth brothers rushed into a pack of wolves like two tigers. The scene suddenly became chaotic. Screams were heard from time to time and the smell of blood began to spread around.
"Boss, boss." A high-ranking bandit took the opportunity to run to the armored bandit leader, but unfortunately, no matter how anxiously he pulled and shouted, the armored leader stood there motionless.
Seeing that his leader seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, the bandit looked at Liang Zifeng on the carriage. He became ruthless and decided to take a gamble. He rushed towards Liang Zifeng with a machete. Unfortunately, a strong force suddenly appeared out of nowhere and knocked him five or six meters away. He fell to the ground without a breath.
