The fifty kilometers of scabbard was resting on Li An's neck. He was a cultivator, so he would not easily reveal his sword.
However, even though they were separated by the heavy and pitch-black sword sheath, Li An still felt the coldness of the sheath. He helplessly smiled.
"In my current situation, I don't seem to have the qualifications to refuse."
"..."
When the woman on the roof saw Zhao He and her men running up the grassy mountain, she patted the scattered melon seeds on her body and praised them, saying, "Aren't you stupid?"
However, the good times didn't last long. Ying'er's speed became slower and slower, and Zhao He could even hear the sounds of footsteps and clashing weapons behind her.
Ying'er clenched her teeth and pushed Zhao He away.
"Lady Li, quickly flee. Don't worry about me."
She knew that she was dragging them down. If she continued running, neither of them would be able to survive.
Zhao He knitted his brows, the footsteps of the search party getting closer and closer.
She was not a kind person. She would definitely not do something as foolish as sacrificing herself to others. However …
Zhao He bent down, and with some unknown strength, suddenly held Ying'er by the waist.
Ying'er's pale face immediately blushed, not knowing what Zhao He was going to do.
Zhao He placed Ying'er in a secret cave, carefully using some weeds to cover the entrance of the cave.
"Madame Li …"
Zhao He gathered up the dry weeds at the entrance of the cave. Surprisingly, he was still able to smile in the midst of his suffering.
"I'll go lure them away. I'll come out when it's safe."
This was no different from suicide to a weak girl like Zhao He.
Ying'er still wanted to say something, but Zhao He already stood up, and rapidly left. Soon, she heard some noises coming from outside the cave.
"There she is!"
"Catch her!"
Ying'er couldn't help but shrink back even further into the cave, as if thinking of Zhao He's fate. Burying her face in her arms, she didn't dare to make a sound, even when she was crying.
As for Zhao He, he was shuttling rapidly through the forest. She had not received any special training, and all she had done was to rely on her determination. At this moment, her strength was growing weaker and weaker.
"Swoosh!"
An arrow pierced through the air, aiming straight at Zhao He's back.
Another melon seed soundlessly deflected the arrow's trajectory, and it grazed Zhao He's body as it flew away.
While sighing at how close he was to death, Zhao He tried to increase his speed even more.
The path in the mountain was too winding. Seeing that someone was about to run away, another melon seed appeared out of nowhere and struck Zhao He, who was currently running away with all his might, with malicious intentions.
Zhao He's legs gave out and he fell to the ground.
She had only been able to hold on with one breath. Now that she was on the ground, she could no longer hold on. It was as if she had used up all of her strength and was unable to move again.
The corners of the black-clothed woman's mouth slightly twitched twice as she stood on the tree.
It wasn't her doing!
It was unknown how long Chu Huai Nan had been talking about business, but at this moment, he was standing side by side with the girl in black. His white clothes were extremely dazzling, and there was even a ghost-like mask on his face.
At this moment, he was still kowtowing to the melon seeds that he had grabbed from the black-clothed woman.
Wasn't that trouble just now caused by him?
This girl looked like she was about to run away.
Even though she was silently cursing, the woman in black still had to lower her head. "Your Highness."
Chu Huai Nan nodded, his eyes that were as black as jade stared straight at Zhao He who was lying on the ground with a face full of despair.
"Mm, it's none of your business."
The black-clothed woman's mouth twitched again.
The few people who were in pursuit saw that there was no hope, so they decided to give up. The lady, who didn't want to run in front of them, tripped on her own.
A few people overjoyed and chased after him, one of them stepping on Zhao He's hand.
"F * ck, run! Why aren't you running anymore!"
Zhao He was lying prone on the ground, her hair hanging loose from its bun. Her ink-black hair had now completely draped over her heaving body.
As if she had lost all sense of pain, she raised her head in silence, her sharp eyes containing snow and ice as she coldly stared at the few people in front of her.
Just by looking at it this way, one could see a kind of soul-stirring beauty.
The men were all shocked.
"Big brother, we chased her for so long and worked so hard …" Someone rubbed his hands together and said in a wretched manner.
Someone echoed him, "That's right, no one will ever know about this wilderness. It's simply the will of the heavens."
The leader glanced at his brothers who had been stirred up by the crowd, then looked at Zhao He, who was lying on the ground.
F * ck, this girl was even prettier than the ladies of the Spring Breeze House.
"Don't yell, I'll go first!"
The leader of the group began to untie his belt. Zhao He tried to get up and run, but was held down by the others on all fours.
For the first time in his life, Zhao He experienced despair.
This was a true despair that went deep into the bones.
She closed her eyes, trying to kill herself with her tongue.
A sound of flesh being pierced rang out in the air as a sword ruthlessly nailed a living piece of flesh onto a boulder.
The man in white stepped on the moon and came over. He pursed his lips and walked over to the dead body silently.
The sword hit the heart, and the person who was taking off his pants just now instantly died.
The rest of the people no longer cared about Zhao He, and they gathered together in fear.
Under the moonlight, the Young Master's mask was like a talisman drawn by ghosts, becoming even more frightening. He coldly pulled his sword out from the corpse and pointed it at those few people.
"I'll take all the places you touched her."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao He fell to the ground. She knew that she was safe, so she could no longer hold on and fainted.
With the audience gone, Young Master no longer had the mood to play around. He called out, "Ah Chi."
The woman in black, who had watched the play from the tree, jumped down hastily and knelt before her master.
"Your subordinate is here."
Chu Huai Nan held Zhao He horizontally in his arms, and then used his chin to signal the few people who were scared silly.
"Did you hear what I just said? F * ck off, they have some spare parts." After a pause, he added, "Make your move accurately. I'll let them live."
He was in so much pain that he didn't want to live.
As Chu Huai Nan carried Zhao He and left, a wave of miserable screams rose and fell behind him.
On the other side, the second master of the Xie Clan saw that it was already late and that it was time to make a move.
The village of Yu was precisely the village where Zhao He had been massacred.
Xie Dongqing brought his men to Yucun. He wanted to help his niece search from house to house until he could capture Xie Zhangzhen alive.
Old master Xie was dumbfounded.
Under the watch of the Son of Heaven, a murder case was already a big deal.
Not to mention a village being massacred.
"Great Master Qing Tian!" You must uphold justice for us! "
It turned out that Ying'er was hiding in the cave. Seeing that there were no movements outside, she dared to run out and investigate. Seeing that all the villagers were dead, she felt extremely sorrowful in her heart.
He then saw the old master, who seemed to be riding a horse from nowhere, wailing as he moved forward.
When Xie Dongqing saw that there were still survivors, he did not know that he had fallen into her trap and did not let his subordinates stop her.
