She brought six skilled men, half of whom have already been killed.

The enemy's golden hook scimitar terrified her.

The remnants of the Sui Dynasty have actually reached the vicinity of Xuanling Mountain.

They took out their treasures to sell, and even set up a scheme to double-cross them, probably to raise military supplies, with ulterior motives.

She can't let all her people perish here; she must send the message back.

She bravely raised her sword and blocked a thin man's path.

"Xiao Wu, let's go find Ye Qi."

Xiao Wu has the best lightness skill among these people.

Hearing this, he said anxiously,

"Shopkeeper, let's go together."

In a moment of distraction, one of the brothers was hit by the trap of the golden hook scimitar.

The barbed crossbow bolt tore off a large chunk of flesh.

A scream rang out, and the man shouted at Xiao Wu.

"Take the shopkeeper away, quickly!"

Seeing her brother's miserable state, Su Liuer was furious and her eyebrows furrowed. Just as she was about to go to his rescue, Xiao Wu grabbed her and used his lightness skill to break through the encirclement.

The broken scimitar was launched by a crossbow.

Xiao Wu didn't react in time and was about to have his head removed.

Su Liuer suddenly grabbed him, and her back was slashed by the knife tip, causing blood to gush out.

At that moment, another curved blade flew in, clearly intending to kill them and silence them, leaving them no way out.

The man, whose flesh had just been torn off by the barbed crossbow bolt, rushed forward and desperately blocked the attack, his mouth full of blood as he gritted his teeth and roared in fury.

"Run!"

He snarled and attacked his opponent, buying Xiao Wu and Su Liuer a moment of time.

Both men were seasoned veterans and knew that there was no point in lingering any longer, so they used their lightness skills to speed away.

The people behind them were in hot pursuit, and the crossbow bolts they fired almost grazed the back of their heads.

Suddenly a whistle sounded in the distance, and everyone stopped and retreated in unison, displaying their disciplined manner.

Su Liuer's previous injuries were already quite severe, and now, as she forced herself to gather her strength, her spirits relaxed, and she vomited several mouthfuls of blood in succession.

Xiao Wu grabbed her arm and hoisted her onto his back.

"Shopkeeper, I will definitely take you back."

Su Liuer shook her head.

He pulled a piece of jade from his neck and stuffed it into his hand.

"Take this to the Prince's Mansion and find Ye Qi. Tell him that the man with the Golden Hook and Curved Blade has arrived at Xuanling Mountain. Go quickly."

Xiao Wu shook his head frantically.

"No, you'll die if you stay here."

"Listen to me, go quickly."

Su Liuer pushed him, but Xiao Wu reached out and pressed her pressure points, carrying her on his back and rushing out again with his internal energy.

As the sun sets, night gradually swallows up the heat.

Darkness gradually engulfed the entire earth.

As hot as the daytime, so cold as the night.

In an instant, it seemed as if the scorching light on the earth had been dragged into the bottomless darkness of the underworld.
