"I remember you... Last time when we took down Ye Tiancheng in Pingxi City, you were beside Sun Bingchen. Why are you here?"
After a while, the female disciple of Mingwang Sect stopped crying, raised her head, looked at Yan Liqiang and said.
"It's a long story. I remember you, but I didn't expect to meet you two here..." Yan Liqiang pointed at the corpses on the ground and shook his head, "Can you move now? This is not a place to stay for long. There was a lot of noise here just now. The Shatu people here are in the same group with the Black Wind Bandits. I'm afraid that the Black Wind Bandits might come over at any time, and then I won't be able to leave even if I want to..."
The woman gritted her teeth, wiped the tears from her face, and tried to stand up again, but when she stood up, her body swayed, her legs went weak, and she was about to fall. Yan Liqiang saw this and hurriedly took two steps forward, grabbed the woman's arm, and supported her.
“Let me go…” The woman had a determined look on her face. She seemed very resistant to Yan Liqiang touching her arm and wanted to pull her arm back.
Yan Liqiang was very obedient. He let go immediately and took a step back. As the woman pulled her hand away, her body couldn't help but soften and she fell to the ground again with a thud.
The scene was silent.
Yan Liqiang didn't say anything either. He just stood there and watched, letting the woman fall to the ground.
This woman is proud and stubborn. Yan Liqiang has plenty of ways to deal with her.
The woman tried to get up again, but maybe it was because the poison in her body had not completely dissipated or it was a side effect of detoxification, Yan Liqiang always felt that the woman's hands and feet were like noodles, soft and powerless. After trying several times, the woman stopped moving, lying on the ground gasping for breath, with big tears streaming from her eyes again.
Yan Liqiang guessed that at this point, the woman would no longer refuse his help. He was waiting for her to speak, but to his surprise, she still remained silent, being so stubborn and strong that she didn't even seem like a woman.
The woman stopped talking. She just gritted her teeth and started struggling to get up. Such a simple thing seemed to be very difficult for her now.
Seeing this woman so stubborn, Yan Liqiang didn't know what to say. He shook his head and was about to search the bodies of other Shatu people when he heard Huangmao's cry suddenly from the hillside in the distance, "Woof woof woof..."
When Yan Liqiang heard Huangmao's cry, his expression changed, because from Huangmao's cry, he knew that Huangmao had discovered someone rushing towards them.
On a night like this, the roar of iron hooves could be heard particularly far away. Just after Huangmao called out a few times, Yan Liqiang heard the roar of large numbers of iron hooves coming from afar.
There is no doubt that at this time, the only bandits who could come here were the Black Wind Bandits.
At this moment, Yan Liqiang's physical strength has not fully recovered, and he can't shoot many arrows with his bow. If he encounters a large number of Black Wind Bandits, he will definitely die.
The woman had stood up again, shakily, and picked up the sword again. She stuck the sword into the ground to support her body and prevent herself from falling down.
"Hurry up, the Black Wind Bandits are coming..." Yan Liqiang said to the woman hurriedly.
The woman said nothing and did not move, only her long eyelashes moved, and then she looked calmly in the direction of the roar of iron hooves with her deep eyes, and her hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword. She moved her feet and stood in front of the body of her senior brother on the ground, making a protective gesture, and then began to adjust her breathing, preparing to gather the last bit of strength in her body to fight to the death with the Black Wind Bandits who were rushing towards her.
"Do you want to fight those Black Wind Bandits here?" Yan Liqiang looked at the woman in surprise.
The woman looked at Yan Liqiang coldly, her face raised, the pride deep in her bones revealed without a doubt, even if she died, she would not bow her head.
With this woman in such a state, not to mention so many Shatu people, even a random Shatu person riding a rhinoceros horse could knock her away. Yan Liqiang didn't expect that this woman was so strong-willed and could face death with indifference.
Damn, Yan Liqiang had met many strong women in the business world in his previous life, but compared with the lady in front of him, she was not even a heavyweight. This woman was actually more manly than many men.
In just a few words, the sound of iron hooves became clearer.
Looking at the woman's face, Yan Liqiang gritted his teeth, made a quick decision, and suddenly attacked, cutting the back of the woman's neck with one palm.
If the woman still had her strength, Yan Liqiang would certainly not be her opponent in close combat, not even a sneak attack. However, at this time, the woman could only barely stand up, so how could she be Yan Liqiang's opponent? What's more, the woman probably didn't expect Yan Liqiang to make a move, so after Yan Liqiang's blow, the woman's body softened, her eyes closed, and she fell down all at once.
Yan Liqiang did not let her fall again. Instead, he hugged her and found a rope on the ground nearby that had dropped by the Shatu people when they were packing up their tents and things. He tied the woman to his back, slung the horn python bow over one shoulder, and ran towards the woods in the distance. After running a few steps, Yan Liqiang stopped again. He turned around and looked at the lost male disciple of Mingwang Sect. Then he gritted his teeth, ran over again, grabbed the body of the male disciple of Mingwang Sect in his hand, and ran towards the woods where he had just come from.
He was carrying a person on his back and holding another person in his hands. If it were an ordinary person, he would have fallen down long ago. Fortunately, Yan Liqiang had terrifying strength. The two people together weighed less than 140 kilograms, which was still manageable for him.
Huangmao also came out from the bushes and ran with Yan Liqiang.
"Don't follow me, you're too conspicuous. Run on your own and don't let anyone catch you..." Yan Liqiang said to Huangmao while running.
The yellow-haired man seemed to understand Yan Liqiang's words at once, and he immediately dived into the bushes in front and disappeared from Yan Liqiang's sight.
Just when Yan Liqiang ran to the edge of the woods, the roar of iron hooves and countless torches had already rushed into the grassland, and corpses were seen everywhere.
Yan Liqiang heard a huge noise coming from the Black Wind Bandits behind him. Turning back, he saw at least three hundred Black Wind Bandits rushing into the grassland. Several Black Wind Bandits riding on rhinoceros horses were pointing in the direction he had just left and shouting.
The grassland was surrounded by a large area of withered yellow Stipa sphenanthera. When Yan Liqiang left, if he did not want to run into the Shatu people head-on, he would naturally have to pass through the grassland. In this way, he would inevitably leave traces on the grass. Once the Black Wind Bandits came, as long as there were a few of them with a little eyesight, they would naturally be able to see the traces of his departure at a glance.
“Fuck, I didn’t dig up your ancestors’ graves…” Seeing those Black Wind Bandits suddenly become emotional, screaming and getting off their horses like wasps whose nests were poked, a black mass of them rushed towards him with knives in their hands, flattening the entire lawn. Yan Liqiang was so scared that he ran away quickly.
Yan Liqiang ran in the woods relying only on his memory, running for his life.
But in the forest, none of the three of them could go to the bathroom alone, and their speed was not very fast. As Yan Liqiang was running, he noticed that the footsteps, shouting, and torchlight of the Black Wind Bandits were getting closer and closer. If he continued like this, he would be caught up sooner or later. Not to mention the three of them running, even if he only carried the woman on his back, he would probably not be able to escape.
No, this can't be possible!
Thinking of the cave he had seen in the woods when he came here, which was right in front of him. The cave was behind a pile of weeds and bushes. It was hidden and deep, and there were no ferocious beasts inside. Yan Liqiang gritted his teeth and rushed towards the cave.
A few minutes later, Yan Liqiang came to the small cave, put down the man he was holding and the woman he was carrying on his back, threw them into the cave, covered his traces, and then quickly left the cave and ran in another direction.
After running more than fifty meters, he saw the fire in the distance getting closer and the distance between the two sides was now less than a hundred meters.
Yan Liqiang stopped for a moment, took out his horn python bow, put an arrow on it, and shot it out...
With a whoosh, a Shatu fell to the ground screaming...
"Fearless Shatu dogs, come and chase us if you have the guts..." Yan Liqiang laughed loudly, and amid the screams and anger of countless Shatu people, he turned around and ran away. Behind him, countless Shatu people with red eyes and gnashing teeth rushed towards him...
