"What?" The black-armored cavalry soldier that had just arrived only whispered a few words into Hong Lei's ear before Hong Lei was taken aback. After that, his expression became ugly.

One had to know that even when Xue Duan and Cui Lan had joined hands, Hong Lei had not revealed such an expression. It seemed like the news that the Black Armored Cavalry had brought was not ordinary.

"Humph!" Hong Lei grunted angrily, "Truly, there is no tiger in the mountain, and monkeys are called tyrants."

"Black Armored Army, retreat!" From his tone, one could tell that he had made this decision out of no other choice. He did not know what sort of information he had obtained.

After the black-armored cavalry heard this order, they were obviously stunned. They never imagined that their general would issue such an order at this time.

Withdrawing their troops now, what did that mean? It meant they were about to give up the advantage they had obtained with great difficulty. It meant that they couldn't avenge their brothers who had sacrificed themselves just now. It meant that they were about to retreat.

How can this be? The black armored cavalry didn't understand why Hong Lei would suddenly order them to retreat. However, they knew that this matter must be related to the black armored cavalry that just arrived.

"Are you all deaf? "I said retreat!" Seeing that group of black-armored cavalry soldiers were motionless, Hong Lei shouted once more. Today, he had truly seen a ghost. Everything that happened had happened.

Even the usually forbidden Black Armored Army began to dilly-dally and disobey the orders. Hong Lei was extremely depressed tonight.

"Xilulu!" The Black Armored Cavalry really didn't have any other choice. They finally moved. They were soldiers, and regardless of how unwilling they were, they had to obey the general's orders. This was their natural duty.

However, in their hearts, the grievances and opinions that they had toward Hong Lei became more and more numerous. In fact, there was even a trace of anger. Army heart was no longer useful.

Hong Lei naturally knew of this as well. However, the current situation did not allow for him to think too much into it, nor did it allow for him to deal with this issue. He had to group up and return to the camp.

After a while, the black armored cavalrymen finished assembling. All of them had traces of blood on their faces. Some of the blood was their own, some were from their comrades, and some were from the enemies. Some of them were injured and were sitting on horses while trembling in fear. Some of them had untidy armors and were disheveled.

Hong Lei sighed deeply, then shifted his gaze to Xue Duan and Cui Rong. Tonight, it was all because of them. Hong Lei gnashed his teeth, wishing he could tear these two to shreds.

Xue Duan and Cui Rong also felt Hong Lei's gaze. The two of them did not show any signs of backing down and returned his gaze with similar sharpness. Hong Lei did not care too much about it. He withdrew his gaze, and without another word, urged his horse forward.

Behind him, the rest of the black-armored cavalry followed him on the official road. The road they had just come from had left the Lion's Ridge.

The black-armored cavalry soldiers quickly disappeared into the boundless night without a trace. The Lion's Ridge once again became silent.

"Ta, ta!" The sound of horse hooves was especially loud. However, every one of the black-armored cavalry soldiers carried their own thoughts in their hearts and looked listless. However, they did not say anything as if they had a tacit understanding with each other.

"Someone, come!" After walking for some distance, Hong Lei suddenly said.

"Yes!" A black armored cavalry soldier left the group.

"Go and check the background of those two groups of people." Hong Lei said.

"Yes sir!" The Black Armored Cavalry soldiers' eyes flashed with excitement. As expected, the general did not forget his fallen brothers. He did not say anything and left ahead of them at full speed.

As the black-armored cavalry soldier left, the mood of the squad of black-armored soldiers changed stealthily, because they knew that their general wasn't indifferent, but was prepared to deal with the future. After all, the Black Armored Army wasn't a force that anyone could disobey.

And at this moment, the Sky Network Assassin and the yellow-clothed man from Three Shipping Pier 18 were in disbelief. This was because they had survived. The black-armored cavalry had left, and they had left for some inexplicable reason.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because there was no longer any danger. Cui Bong also grinned. He walked to Xue Duan's side. "I didn't expect a little madman like you to block such a powerful attack."

At this moment, Xue Duan was being carried by a Sky Web hitman. He didn't have much strength left in him. He didn't reply to Cui Rong, but said, "You can leave now. I'm sorry for what happened tonight."

What he said was naturally because he had stopped Hong Lei. Thus, he did not need to apologize for causing the death of Three Shipping Floor 18. But now he was mistaken.

However, he didn't say anything and just shook his head, "Forget it. You wanted to kill me too, so I'll forgive you just because you said you're sorry."

Qu ong Rong was not someone who would cause trouble like this. Moreover, the martial arts world was a place like this. As long as one stepped in, one's life and death could only be determined by their destiny.

"Although I don't know what kind of misunderstanding exists between us, it's best not to confront each other with a sword next time." As Cui Banyan spoke indifferently, he felt a trace of a hero cherishing a hero.

"I'll be leaving first!" Cui Rong called out to the rest of the yellow-clothed men. They each carried the corpses of their comrades who had died in the battle and disappeared into the forest, disappearing without a trace.

"Young master, is that alright?" The Waving Slowly assassin asked Xue Duan. He was obviously referring to the matter of Qu Rong being released.

"There's no need to say anymore. Clean up the battlefield." Xue Duan spoke slowly.

After that, the Heaven's Net Killers dug out many large holes outside of the forest with weapons or bare hands and buried them inside. This was enough to let them rest in peace.

Returning to dust, returning to dust … this could be considered their fate. There will be people who will live with them.

"Young master, what do we do now?" After burying his good brothers, the Sky Network Assassin once again asked Xue Duan for permission to arrive. However, after waiting for a long time, he still couldn't get a reply from Xue Duan, so he turned around to look.

He suddenly realized that Xue Duan had already fainted on his back at some point in time. "Young Master Xue, Young Master Xue!"

Xue Duan did not reply even after he shouted for a long time.

"What's going on?" The leader of the group of Sky Web hitmen walked over.

"Leader, Young Master Xue fainted. What should we do?"

"There's no rush. Young Master Xue should have been caused by the great battle earlier. Let's send Young Master Xue back now."

"Then... "Where's Young Master Yang?" A Waving Slowly killer suddenly thought of Yang Muyun, who was not far away.

"Young Master Yang has the protection of the 'Sky' killer, so he shouldn't be in much danger. Our priority right now is to send Young Master Xue back." The little chief didn't know the truth about Yang Muyun's situation, so at this moment, all he wanted to do was to quickly send Xue Duan back to Shattered Leaf City.

"Alright!" When the others heard his words, they didn't object and also quickly returned to Shattered Leaf City.

However, the situation on Yang Muyun's side wasn't as they thought. On the contrary, Yang Muyun was on the verge of death.
