The sword light was as fast as lightning, and the sword cut the throat!
It was only when the man's corpse fell on the ground covered in withered leaves that the scar-faced man and the calm man slowly came to their senses.
Under the moonlight, the man whose throat was no longer bleeding had his eyes wide open. Even in death, he could not understand why the woman who was just a plaything in his eyes had become the King of Hell who took his life in the blink of an eye.
"Third Brother!"
Seeing their brother die tragically under the woman's sword, but they didn't even have the time to stop her. They didn't even see how she had attacked. After the scar-faced man recovered from his daze, his face revealed an expression of extreme grief and indignation.
He let out a low roar, drew out the long saber at his waist, took a few steps forward, and slashed at the woman.
This move was made with all his strength, and even the air made a sound like it was ripping silk.
Before today, it was unknown how many people had been cut in half by this large saber.
Behind him, the man who had always had a calm expression finally showed a look of shock and anger. After the scar-faced man made his move, his figure instantly moved, sealing off the woman's path of retreat.
In the face of the saber coming at her head, the woman did not dodge. Only when the saber was about to fall, the surrounding moonlight seemed to brighten.
…
Inside the shack, Li Yi looked outside. There was only the faint shadow of the trees under the moonlight, and he couldn't see clearly. His line of sight to both sides was blocked by the shack.
If he hadn't been hallucinating just now, there should have been a moment of noise outside, as if there had been the sound of weapons clashing, but it quickly returned to silence.
Could it be that the three of them were fighting among themselves?
Fight, fight, fight. It would be best if all three of them were injured. That way, he wouldn't have to think about how to escape. His right hand gently pulled back, and then he would go home and do what he had to do.
With such a malicious thought in his heart, a strong wave of dizziness came over him.
His body swayed, and he almost didn't have the strength to hold the saber.
At this moment, the long-faced man, who had been waiting for an opportunity, suddenly tilted his head and avoided the blade. His body rolled forward and immediately rolled out of the shack.
After escaping from that scholar's clutches, there was no longer a knife on his neck. He laughed wildly twice, thinking that once he got the formula for the Ruyi Dew, he would definitely chop off that scholar's head with his own hands.
After roaming the Jianghu for so many years, this was the first time he had encountered such a life and death crisis.
The feeling of having a knife at my neck scared me to death …
At the critical moment of life and death, he rolled quite a distance until his body collided with something before he finally came to a stop.
The long-faced man was about to use his hands to support his body and stand up. After reuniting with his three brothers, he would go in and deal with the scholar. Suddenly, he felt that the place where his palms touched was a little wet.
It had not rained these days, and the ground was abnormally dry. This shack had been their temporary hiding place, and there was no water source nearby.
"Damn it, could it be that Third Bro is peeing everywhere again?" Thinking of Third Bro's past bad habits, the long-faced man cursed angrily. He felt a little disgusted and rubbed his hands on the ground in disgust …
What he felt was a kind of warm touch. He looked down and saw Third Bro's eyes filled with endless fear. He couldn't help but shiver. At this moment, his hand was placed on Third Bro's face.
He turned his palm over and saw a dark brown substance. How was this water? It was clearly blood!
"Third, Third Bro …"
His face revealed a frightened expression. He reached out his hand and touched Third Bro's nose. His whole body couldn't help but shiver.
"Dead, dead!"
The moonlight was very bright that night, and one could clearly see several feet away from them.
Two familiar figures were lying on the ground a few steps away, just like Third Bro. They were in different postures, but they were both very quiet, as quiet as the dead.
"Eldest Bro, Second Bro!"
He cried out in fear. His heart was filled with fear. It was also at this time that the sound of light footsteps came from behind him.
Under the night sky, a ray of light that was even brighter than the moonlight flashed by.
The woman's face was expressionless. She held a blood-stained sword in her hand and looked coldly at the shack not far away.
"There's another one."
In the shack, there was an indistinct breathing sound. It was very weak.
She walked over and looked inside the shack. In the darkness, there was a figure lying there. There was no sound, and it was likely that he had been dead for a long time.
Her footsteps paused. The short road in front of her seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, making it difficult for her to move forward.
…
There was no sound coming from outside for a long time. Finally, the sound of footsteps came to a stop. Li Yi held the knife in his hand. He had already bitten the tip of his tongue countless times, and he was barely able to stay conscious.
"It's over. I'm afraid I'm really going to die here."
At this moment, he was truly at the point where he was at the end of his rope. If he waited any longer, he was afraid that his body wouldn't even need to wait for those people to come in.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came again. Li Yi hid at the side of the shack. When he saw the shadow on the ground flash in through the door, he stabbed the knife in his hand.
Even though the enemy was strong and he was weak, he still had to try. What if those people walked in one after the other and were caught off guard? What if he skewered them with his knife?
The ideal scenario didn't happen.
The knife was clamped by two slender and fair fingers. Li Yi looked at the woman who was emitting a faint glow under the moonlight. After a slight shock, he threw the knife away.
Finally, you.
"Ruyi." He heaved a long sigh of relief and opened his arms. "I missed you so much."
His body fell straight to the ground.
"So fragrant, so soft …" His last consciousness disappeared.
Liu Ruyi hugged him. The coldness on his face finally disappeared. He looked up at the sky. The moon tonight was so beautiful.
The corpse in the shack was not his. When Liu Ruyi walked over, she could vaguely tell that the person who had died a horrible death was Wu Ying. He had been shot blind in one eye, and the fatal wound was from the knife that had slit his throat.
One was a scholar who was not even considered a weakling. The other was a martial arts master who had reached a higher level. The four people outside were all good at martial arts too …
Her pretty face was a little dazed. After a while, she leaned him against the wall of the shack and carried him on her back. She walked out and disappeared into the night.
On the mountain road, Fang, who was holding a torch, shouted until his voice was hoarse. Along the way, there were spots of fire. Those were the people who were looking for Li Yi.
A horse neighed from the forest. Fang turned around and with the help of the fire and moonlight, he saw a familiar figure on the horse.
"Second Young Mistress …" He ran over in big steps. When he saw the person on Liu Ruyi's back, his body trembled. His face was wild with joy. He said suddenly, "Young Master has been found!"
Liu Ruyi nodded. "Send someone back to inform them. We'll return to the prefecture immediately!"
"Yes!"
Fang nodded vigorously. The big stone in his heart was finally lifted. He ran toward the fire in front of him.
