Jianchen's expression also became serious. He said in a low voice, "It's not appropriate for us to clash with them right now. Let's leave this place quickly." If he didn't have the heavily injured Qin Xiao in his hands, Jianchen probably wouldn't be able to resist taking a look out of curiosity. However, in order to ensure the safety of Qin Xiao, he had no choice but to temporarily avoid them.
Jianchen's left hand carried the stretcher and the yellow-clothed girl as he quickly ran off into the distance. The Zither Master also tightly clenched her teeth and followed closely behind the two of them.
The ground trembled violently, and the entire hillside was shaking. Many places had already cracked open, and the sound of intense fighting in the distance was incessant. Just from the sound alone, one could hear the intensity of the battle.
A few bolder people were attracted by the sounds and hurried in the direction of the battle. The majority of them had lost their Space Belts and were carrying large bags on their backs. They were in a sorry state. However, when they saw Jianchen's group carrying the injured, two people who were still in good condition immediately ran towards Jianchen's group.
The two people moved extremely quickly and arrived several hundred meters away very quickly. Afterwards, they slowed down and sized up Jianchen's group. When they saw that Jianchen and the yellow-clothed girl were at most twenty-five years old, their courage couldn't help but increase. One of them loudly shouted, "You guys, stop right there!" After saying that, the two people quickly approached Jianchen's group.
Jianchen's gaze turned cold. However, the yellow-clothed girl's movements were even faster than his. She very decisively took off the golden longbow hanging on her back and directly pulled the bowstring. In an instant, two golden arrows were shot out.
The golden arrow was like a rainbow, leaving behind a faint golden tail in the sky. It was like a meteor streaking across the sky, shooting towards the two people at lightning speed.
The two people on the other side had already taken out their Saint Weapons the moment the girl took off her longbow. When the golden arrows shot towards them with lightning speed, the two of them simultaneously brandished their Saint Weapons and slashed at the arrows with surging Saint Force.
"Earth Saint Masters!" Jianchen was shocked. As soon as the two people attacked, he knew their strength from the surging Saint Force.
Boom! Boom!
Two loud explosions rang out, and the surging energy waves instantly submerged the two of them. The soil on the ground was sent flying, and the weeds and debris flew all over the sky. The two of them were sent flying by the powerful energy shockwaves. While they were in the air, blood spurted out from their mouths uncontrollably.
Although the yellow-clothed girl was young, she was decisive in her killing. She didn't look like a young lady who grew up in a greenhouse at all. Instead, she looked more like an iron-blooded warrior who had experienced countless life and death battles. She immediately took a few steps forward. Her white and tender fingers gently plucked the bowstring. She slowly pulled the bowstring back, and a golden arrow formed completely out of energy quickly condensed.
"Whoosh!"
Two sharp piercing sounds rang out, and another two golden arrows with long beautiful tails shot towards the two lying on the ground, piercing through their chests in front of their terrified eyes.
"Ah!"
The two of them let out miserable cries. A fist-sized hole had already appeared in their chests. The golden arrows had pierced through their bodies, and the remnant energy in their bodies rampaged through their bodies. In the blink of an eye, their internal organs were smashed to pieces. Their miserable cries came to an abrupt end, and they slowly stopped breathing.
Just like that, two Earth Saint Masters were slain by the girl with a simple flick of her bowstring.
This scene was clearly seen by a few people in the distance. A few people who originally wanted to make things difficult for Jianchen immediately gave up on the thought in fear.
"Who is that yellow-clothed girl? She's actually so powerful. Those two people were the Earth Saint Masters who stole our entry token, but they were actually killed by her so easily …"
"I think that girl isn't very old. She's so powerful at such a young age. I wonder who will be so lucky in the future to be her husband …"
"Shh, be careful with what you say. If that girl hears you, she'll directly shoot an arrow at us in anger. We'll all be done for then …"
"Yeah, you brat. Be careful of what you say. Be careful of what you say. Don't say anything you shouldn't say …"
A few people in the distance discussed in low voices as they stared at Jianchen's group. No one dared to approach them anymore.
The small incident on the way did not cause much of an obstruction to Jianchen's group. Jianchen carried the stretcher in his left hand as he quickly ran forward. When he arrived in front of the two Earth Saint Masters, he directly bent down and took away their storage items, a Space Ring and an exquisite high quality Space Belt.
The yellow-clothed girl watched from the side as Jianchen took away their storage items. She did not say anything as she hung her bow on her back and quickly followed behind Jianchen.
The battle with the stone statues lasted for a very long time. Even though Jianchen was already ten kilometers away, he could still faintly hear the sounds of battle from behind. Jianchen's group did not stop for even a moment. They did not slow down at all as they continued to advance in a straight line.
Six hours later, Jianchen and the girl had left the area and found a cave to rest in. There was still a pile of firewood in the pitch-black cave.
"Someone lived in this cave not too long ago. Whatever, I'll just take it for myself first." Jianchen muttered to himself before carefully placing the zither and flute on the ground. He gathered the scattered branches that had not yet been completely burned and lit a torch to provide some light.
"The firewood won't take long. You guys stay in the cave and rest first. I'll go out and find some wood." After saying that, Jianchen turned around and left the cave. He then climbed up a hill at the back of the cave and specifically chose the withered trees to chop down.
Just as Jianchen was collecting wood, a series of footsteps entered Jianchen's ears. He did not stop because of this and calmly tied up some of the withered branches on the ground.
Soon, two figures appeared before Jianchen's eyes. From their appearance, both of them were over forty years old. One of them was tall and sturdy, with a bald head. He wore a black vest, with thick and powerful arms exposed. His skin was somewhat dark, and he wore blue trousers and a pair of cloth shoes. The other person had a well-proportioned body. He was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor skinny. He had a common face and a pair of ordinary eyes would flicker with light from time to time. He wore white robes that were slightly damaged and covered in green spots from traveling through the forest.
As Jianchen studied the two of them, the two of them studied Jianchen as well. When the two of them discovered that Jianchen was only in his twenties, they immediately relaxed.
Jianchen only glanced at the two of them before lowering his head and continuing to organize the branches on the ground. He used tree bark as a rope to tie up the bundles of wood before stowing them away in his Space Ring.
Now that Jianchen was an Earth Saint Master, there was no need for him to continue hiding his Space Ring. With his current strength, he could protect his belongings. As a result, Jianchen had worn the Space Ring when he was still with the Tianqin clan.
When the middle-aged man discovered the Space Ring on Jianchen's hand, an undetectable light flashed through his eyes, but he did not show it on the surface.
The large man took out a jug of alcohol from his Space Ring and gulped down a few mouthfuls before letting out a carefree sigh. He then said to Jianchen, "Brother, you really are brave. You actually have the guts to participate in the Mercenary Tournament at such a young age. You really are admirable. Oh right, what are you going to do with all this wood?"
Jianchen raised his head and glanced at the large man again. The large man had a simple and honest appearance and a pair of extremely clear eyes.
"I'm obviously going to start a fire with this wood," Jianchen indifferently replied.
Very soon, Jianchen had gathered enough wood. He tossed the wood into his Space Ring and left without looking back.
The large man and the middle-aged man remained where they were as they watched Jianchen leave. After quite a while, the middle-aged man slowly said, "This young man is not simple."
"Hehe, I also feel that he is not simple. He dares to participate in the Mercenary Tournament at such a young age. He's much stronger than I was back then. I admire him," the large man chuckled.
The middle-aged man sneered, "Doctor An, you can't judge people like that. Did you notice the ring on the young man's hand? That's a Space Ring."
"A Space Ring!" The large man was surprised before dryly laughing. He extended his hand and rubbed his bald head. With a rather awkward expression, he said, "I really didn't notice that. Yun Zheng, you're much better at judging people than I am. But who cares what ring it is? A normal Space Ring is enough for me. If it really doesn't work, I'll just prepare another one. It's practical and cost-effective and saves money."
The middle-aged man didn't continue to speak. He stared at the direction Jianchen left for a moment before leaving with the large man.
Jianchen quickly returned to the cave using the original path. He then took out all the firewood from his Space Ring and piled them up at the edge of the cave. Because Qin Xiao was heavily injured and couldn't move, Jianchen planned to stay in the cave for ten days to half a month. At the very least, he had to wait for Qin Xiao's injuries to stabilize. Therefore, he collected a lot of firewood, piling them up in a corner. They were all wrist-sized sticks that could burn for a long time.
After adding some firewood to the torches, Jianchen took out some healing medicine from Qin Xiao's Space Ring and applied it to Qin Xiao's wounds. He then used a layer of white gauze to bandage the wounds. The Zither Master, who was also heavily injured, also took out some healing medicine that she had already prepared and swallowed it. She then sat cross-legged on the ground and closed her eyes to control the medicine in her body to heal her injuries.
The yellow-clothed woman sat on a rock in the corner. She took down the longbow on her back and placed it in front of her. She gently stroked it with a focused expression.
The entire cave was very quiet. Only the crackling sound of the burning torches could be heard from time to time.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the cave. Jianchen, who was bandaging Qin Xiao's wounds, immediately stopped what he was doing. He stared at the entrance of the cave with a sharp gaze. He was ready to fight. Although Qin Xiao's injuries had stabilized, he didn't have the slightest bit of fighting strength. His waist was injured, so he couldn't use any strength. He had to protect Qin Xiao.
The yellow-clothed woman also slowly raised her head and stared at the entrance of the cave. She couldn't help but tighten her grip on the golden longbow. Although there weren't many people who could threaten them here, a few hours ago, they had discovered Shi Xiangran and a powerhouse who also had a King Weapon. They couldn't help but be vigilant.
Soon, two figures appeared in front of Jianchen, one in front and one behind. With the help of the firelight, he could clearly see that the person walking in front was a bald man wearing a black vest. The man was tall and sturdy, with a stocky back and a bear waist. A pair of thick and sturdy arms were exposed. Behind the man was a middle-aged man with an average face and a well-proportioned body. They were the two people that Jianchen had met when he went to the mountain to collect firewood.
