C139

Half a cup of tea later, Lin Qing was slapped in the middle by a constable. He vomited blood, and as a price, he would never be able to see the sunlight tomorrow.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a sharp sword slashed across Lin Qing's cheek. Although the head wasn't cut off, a huge chunk of flesh was left on Lin Qing's cheek.

After the two cups of tea, Lin Qing was half-kneeling on the ground. Her body was already covered in wounds, especially on her cheeks. There was a deep bloody wound on her face, so deep that one could faintly see the pale bones inside.

Out of the dozen or so constables that surrounded them, only seven were left, and they were all injured.

At this moment, Lin Qing no longer had any strength left in her. Her arms powerlessly hung down. Although her eyes were sharp, they also slowly began to dim down.

"Why can't I use this kind of person?" Yun Hai, who was standing far away, couldn't help but mutter to himself when he saw this scene. What a pity it was.

Seeing how Lin Qing was no longer able to resist, Yun Hai closed his eyes and said, "Kill him."

As Yun Hai's words came out, a constable stepped forward with a vicious smile on his face and his sword held high. Under the sunlight, the sword glinted with a chilling light that could not be described with words.

It wasn't that Lin Qing didn't want to resist, it was just that she had no more strength left in her body. Being able to stand up and not fall to the ground was already her ultimate limit.

Seeing the cold gleam of the sharp sword about to cut her head, Lin Qing closed her eyes slightly, as if she had returned to that brightly lit era, back to that red light green world, back to the warm harbor, back to the scene of being together with her wife and children. It was a completely different world, different from this one, completely relying on her fists.

The scene changed and Lin Qing appeared like she was standing under a cherry tree in the middle of a mountain. The beautiful Lin Xue Xian shyly said some words in front of her that were filled with rain and had the warmth of a weak young man in her heart.

With another turn, he returned to the scene of him being entangled with Wen Xueqi, the crazy scene of him saving his life without caring about his own life, the scene of Wen Xueqi's body gradually turning cold, eyes gradually becoming sad.

The cold light was still as before, the sharp sword whistling through the air. In the next moment, the person with the broken head would leave. From now on, Lin Qing would have nothing to do with this world.

At this time, a long eagle cry came from the sky. A giant eagle with wings bigger than the hood of the carriage swooped down from the sky, bringing up gusts of wind.

The constable who was holding a sword saw that his sword was about to cut off Lin Qing's head, but he felt a chill down his spine, as if a fierce wind was blowing past him. His many years of experience in life had told him that he was about to encounter some sort of fatal danger.

This feeling caused the constable to feel fear in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he finally slashed out with his sword towards Lin Qing's back.

When this constable knew of this, his heart was filled with mixed emotions. If he had a choice, he would choose to turn around and block it. His life was his, and if he lost it, how could he even talk about his future?

"Clang clang!" A metallic sound was emitted from the back of the constable, and the constable let out a miserable wail. His entire body flew out.

The giant eagle's silhouette appeared before his eyes. It was an eagle with jet-black feathers, sharp eyes, and a pair of talons.

Just as the huge eagle clawed at Lin Qing's constable with its sword in hand, it grabbed Lin Qing's body.

With a flap of its wings, the giant eagle immediately soared into the sky.

The scene instantly became quiet, followed by a flurry of panicked voices.

Yun Hai opened his eyes and saw the scene of Lin Qing being captured by the eagle.

Upon seeing this scene, Yun Hai's expression changed. He cried out, "Quick, quick, send the crossbow men to shoot!"

"Yes!" The underling also knew that the situation was critical and quickly went down to pass down the order.

After a short while, a few hundred archers with bows and arrows pierced through the door. They raised their arms and moved in unison.

Aiming at the humongous hawk in the sky, the bow was like a full bowstring. With a flick of his finger, the bowstring vibrated, and a cold wind blew as hundreds of arrows shot towards the humongous eagle.

The giant eagle let out a long cry, flapped its wings again, and with a gust of wind, it climbed up another section.

The arrows whistled past and when they got to the eagle, it was already too late. With a shake of the eagle's feathers, the arrows fell to the ground. It did not have any effect at all.

When Yun Hai saw this, his face turned ugly and his fists clenched involuntarily.

The eagle flew higher and higher until it disappeared into the sky.

Looking at all this, Yun Hai knew that it would be impossible for him to keep Lin Qing alive. After Lin Qing and the rest had tried to stop them, the remaining members of the Tiger Faction had all fled to the deepest part of the forest.

Although he had basically annihilated the Tiger Gang and the main force of the Green Bamboo Gang during this battle, the upper echelons of the gang like Lin Qing and Qu Ming had yet to be destroyed.

In addition, exterminating the division of the Green Bamboo Gang and the Tiger Gang in Red Leaf Town had also resulted in the loss of nearly a thousand men. This kind of loss could be said to be a rare occurrence in Red Leaf Town for decades.

Thinking of this, Yun Hai's expression became more and more unsightly.

As for what Yun Hai was thinking, Lin Qing did not know. He only knew that when he opened his eyes, what he saw was a vast sea of clouds, and beneath it were towering mountains.

This place was thousands of feet high in the sky and was not something that could be reached by humans. Only a creature like an eagle could rule this place.

Of course, rumours had it that even a cultivator at the Heavenly Layer would be able to fly through the sky. However, since ancient times, there had only been a few talented warriors who had truly achieved the Heavenly Layer, just like the current Imperial Advisor. He was only a genius warrior at the ninth level, but he was still a step away from reaching the Heavenly Star Realm.

In the end, Lin Qing was still lucky, and she also thought that he was lucky. At the very least, she was still alive.

Looking at the boundless mountains and rivers below, Lin Qing felt a sense of relief in her heart. She could not help but let out a long howl.

Along with Lin Qing's long whistle, the enormous eagle seemed to have obtained a share of Ling. Similarly, an eagle's cry resounded out, and it reverberated for a long time.
