The setting sun dyed the sky red. A horse-drawn carriage was speeding along the official road. Its wheels made a rapid creaking sound as they rolled over the gravel.

Leng Qingqiu gripped the reins tightly and whipped the horse's buttocks continuously to speed up the carriage.

Soon after the carriage passed, there was a dense sound of horse hooves. More than a dozen men in black on horseback were chasing them rapidly, raising dust and getting closer and closer.

"My lord, stop!"

The leading Black Feather Guard roared with all his internal strength, but Leng Qingqiu turned a deaf ear to him and whipped the horse's buttocks again.

The carriage accelerated again and sprinted forward madly.

Seeing this, the Black Feather Guards in the rear also accelerated. They did not dare to shoot arrows for fear of hurting the princess.

After running for a while, the carriage was still not as fast as a single horse.

The Black Feather Guards gradually approached, then arrived in front of the carriage and stopped it.

"Princess, please follow us back. The prince is waiting for you in the mansion."

The leading Black Feather Guard clasped his fists and spoke to the carriage, not paying any attention to Leng Qingqiu who was sitting outside driving the carriage.

But no sound came from the carriage.

"Princess, please follow me back."

The Black Feather Guard frowned slightly and spoke again.

Still silent.

Seeing this, a Black Feather Guard slowly approached the carriage, then reached out and lifted the curtain of the small window on the wall of the carriage, glanced inside, and his face suddenly changed.

"No one's inside."

The faces of the Black Feather Guards changed.

bass--!

The leading Black Feather Guard suddenly drew out his sword, pointed at Leng Qingqiu and asked, "Where is the princess?"

Leng Qingqiu raised his eyelids, "What princess? I don't know what you are talking about?"

"Search separately. The princess won't be able to get far without a horse."

The other Black Feather Guards agreed and headed into the jungle on both sides of the road.

Leng Qingqiu said calmly: "Do I agree that you can leave?"

After saying that, he drew his sword suddenly and charged towards the Black Feather Guards.

The two Black Feather Guards closest to the carriage had no time to react and two blood lines appeared on their throats.

They opened their eyes wide, covered their bleeding necks and fell off their horses.

The remaining Black Feather Guards were shocked. They had never expected that this woman was so powerful. They almost didn't see clearly how she swung the sword just now.

"You're looking for death!"

The leading Black Feather Guard shouted loudly, leaped from his horse, and slashed towards Leng Qingqiu with his sword raised in both hands.

Leng Qingqiu snorted coldly and raised his sword.

Bang!

The sound of metal clashing, swords colliding, sparks flying, Leng Qingqiu only felt a huge force coming and the wooden board beneath him exploded.

The leader of the Black Feather Guards used the force to flip backwards, fell to the ground, took a few steps back, his face flushed.

“A top-notch expert!”

He was shocked and confused, and never expected that this woman was actually a top-notch master.

"Form a formation!"

The leading Black Feather Guard shouted loudly, and the remaining ten people immediately formed a battle formation and charged towards Leng Qingqiu.

This group of Black Feather Guards was led by a quasi-first-rate master, there were two second-rate masters, and the rest were third-rate masters.

Even if Leng Qingqiu is a top-notch master, they are still able to fight him.

Leng Qingqiu was no longer sitting in the carriage at this time. He moved and broke into the encirclement of the Black Feather Guards like a ghost.

I haven't had a proper fight since I became a first-rate master. People say that the Black Feather Guards of the palace are very strong, so let me give it a try today.

As for Xiao Zhiruo, she doesn't have to worry.

As soon as they left the city gate, Xiao Zhiruo and Qinghe got out of the car and entered the jungle on both sides of the official road. Leng Qingqiu led away the pursuers and delayed time.

The two of them went to the agreed place and waited. Although Qinghe was a maid, she also had some martial arts skills. As long as they didn't encounter pursuers, she could still protect Xiao Zhiruo.

If Leng Qingqiu does not show up at the agreed time, the two will continue on to the next agreed location.

The place they agreed to meet was the place where they had rested when they accompanied Pei Yun back to Ruifeng County. There were five locations in total. If they still didn't meet, then Xiao Zhiruo would not have to worry about Leng Qingqiu and would go directly to Ruifeng County.

Although the journey was long and it would take at least a month to walk there, Xiao Zhiruo didn't care. She just wanted to see Pei Yun now.

Ding ding ding!

Leng Qingqiu fought against many Black Feather Guards. It must be said that these Black Feather Guards were indeed strong. Even if their cultivation was not as good as Leng Qingqiu's, after forming a battle formation, they cooperated well, attacked ruthlessly, and were fearless of death. They would rather exchange injuries than retreat.

Compared to the cold-blooded Thirteen Eagles, these Black Feather Guards are infinitely stronger.

Even though Leng Qingqiu couldn't solve the problem in a short time, he was glad that he and Xiao Zhiruo had separated, otherwise he might not be able to protect her.

I still need to practice. It's a bit embarrassing that I can't kill eleven people quickly when I'm alone.

Of course, the main reason was that the other side had a quasi-first-class master, which prevented Leng Qingqiu from winning quickly.

The Black Feather Guards sent out signals while fighting, calling for more Black Feather Guards to come for support.

Leng Qingqiu's eyes turned cold, he whistled softly, and used all his internal energy. His figure flashed like a ghost, and he specifically chose to kill the third-rate Black Feather Guards first.

laugh--!

A third-rate Black Feather Guard was stabbed in the chest by a sword and fell to the ground dead.

Then Leng Qingqiu's body shook, and while dodging the attack, he had already turned behind a Black Feather Guard. The tip of the sword pierced through the chest of the Black Feather Guard, bringing up a puff of blood.

Amid the flash of swords and sabers, the Black Feather Guards fell one after another.

The leading Black Feather Guard was terrified. The opponent's swordsmanship was too fast, and his body movements were graceful. Even though he was surrounded, he was still able to handle it with ease.

"Who are you? Do you know who you are against?"

"Haha, aren't you just the running dogs of the palace? I'll kill you."
