Bai Ruyu rapidly rotated her wrist, attempting to use exquisite skill to deflect the force of the giant hammer.

However, Ocho was incredibly strong. In an instant, the veins on her thick arms bulged, and she firmly grasped the giant hammer that was about to go out of control.

That overwhelming force instantly repelled the soft sword.

Bai Ruyu felt a powerful force travel through the soft sword, which made her arm go numb. Her delicate body was involuntarily sent flying backward, landing lightly in the rain several feet away.

"Die!" Oqiu roared and strode after him.

The giant hammer was wielded with great force in Oqiu's hands, and raindrops were instantly reduced to dust by the force of the hammer.

Bai Ruyu had just stood up when Ao Qiu caught up and brought down another heavy hammer blow.

The shadow of the giant hammer instantly enveloped Bai Ruyu, as if it wanted to completely extinguish her life force.

Suddenly, the raindrops beside her transformed into a human hand, forcefully shoving Bai Ruyu and narrowly avoiding a fatal blow.

Bai Ruyu dared not linger for a moment, and quickly fled back the way she came.

Ao Qiu glanced at Bai Ruyu, who was fleeing like a frightened bird, and then turned to look at Li Yu, who was standing quietly behind him. He was immediately caught in a dilemma.

But she had dealt with Bai Ruyu before and knew how difficult Bai Ruyu was.

In their several encounters, her opponent would harass her like a fly.

They may seem to be escaping, but they will actually come back.

If Bai Ruyu isn't dealt with first, it might not be easy to extract information about her brother's whereabouts from Li Yu through torture.

With this thought in mind, Aoqiu suppressed his hatred for Li Yu, quickly memorized Li Yu's unique aura, and then turned around and chased after Bai Ruyu.

Oqiu believed that as long as she killed Bai Ruyu quickly, Li Yu would have no chance of escaping.

The two chased and fled, their figures disappearing quickly into the rain.

Seeing this, Li Yu did not immediately chase after them. Instead, he dismounted and stepped forward to untie the villagers from their restraints.

The villagers' hands and feet were red from being bound by ropes, and their mouths were chafed raw by the ropes.

After Li Yu loosened their bonds, they struggled to untie the knots, their eyes immediately filled with surprise and excitement, and they anxiously began to speak:

"It's Li Yu."

"Li Yu has come to our rescue!"

The villagers' eyes were already filled with tears of gratitude, and they knelt down one after another to express their thanks, despite their weak bodies.

In their previous understanding, they were nothing more than ants in the world, struggling to survive, and no one cared about their life or death.

The villagers did not believe in a savior.

However, today, Li Yu came to their rescue.

The villagers could even see their own reflection in Li Yu's eyes, and see a glimmer of hope for life.

This is a feeling I've never had before.

After rescuing the villagers, Li Yu pointed in the direction of the man and said:

"Get out of here quickly, head over there, someone is waiting for you."

The villagers were somewhat weak, and among them was an old woman with a haggard face. Her appearance was somewhat similar to that of the man from before, and she seemed to be the mother the man had mentioned.

Li Yu didn't say much, and simply threw a large handful of red algae sticks at the villagers.

He immediately mounted Xiao Hei, spurred the horse on, and chased after the direction Oqiu had just left.

Li Yu pondered to himself that although Bai Ruyu seemed to be quite strong, her weapon was really weak. Facing a powerful enemy like Ao Qiu and that huge hammer, she was likely in grave danger.

Upon seeing this, the villagers quickly picked up the algae sticks from the ground, their eyes filled with gratitude.

They bowed again to Li Yu's departing figure, expressing their gratitude:

"Li Yu, the great philanthropist!"

Thank you...

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that someone in this world would actually give them food for free.

However, since it is the legendary hero Li Yu, all of this seems to make perfect sense.

Although what they gave were only the most basic algae sticks, barely enough to fill their stomachs.

But this action was like a beacon in the darkness, enough to prove that the person in front of them was the legendary hero Li Yu, who had a heart full of righteousness!

There was no one else.

The direction they left in.

The howling wind kept blowing.

Bai Ruyu increased her speed to the fullest extent, and the raindrops were kicked up by her movements and splashed out.

Ouqiu, however, was not about to let her go and continued to pursue her relentlessly, his eyes seeming to want to devour Bai Ruyu alive.

Ou Qiu thought to himself that Bai Ruyu had been chasing him all the way here, and there were law enforcement teams patrolling around or the town was crowded with people, so she had no chance to make a move.

But things are different now. This is such a remote and desolate place. Even if she killed someone from the government, who would know?

"You vixen, your offense and defense have become different!" Oqiu shouted coldly, quickening his pace once again.

The two figures moved constantly through the rain.

Gradually, the rumbling sound of waves could be faintly heard from ahead.

Bai Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the sound of the waves.

She had passed through the Yellow Dragon River when she was investigating Oochu, so it left a deep impression on her.

The purpose of this escape was to get here.

Bai Ruyu continued running towards the sound of the waves.

Before long, the vast and boundless Huanglong River came into view.

Rainwater from the surrounding area continuously flowed into the river, causing the Huanglong River to surge and roar, creating a terrifying spectacle.

The turbid river, like an angry dragon, meanders across the Central Plains.

Bai Ruyu fled to the riverbank in one breath, but suddenly stopped and stood there quietly, as if waiting for Aoqiu to arrive.

She took a deep breath, feeling the abundant water elemental energy around her, which was almost overflowing, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes.

Bai Ruyu knew that this was the battlefield for her counterattack.

Ao Qiu, who had been chasing Bai Ruyu aggressively all the way to the riverbank, saw that Bai Ruyu had stopped running and assumed she had nowhere to run. A sinister smile appeared on his face.

"You little vixen, where do you think you're going to run this time!"

You must know, this is the Huanglong River, which is boundless and extremely wide.

On the Huanglong River, there are not only countless undercurrents and whirlpools, but also chaotic energy and air currents constantly stirring in the air, forming invisible aerial barriers.

Moreover, various aquatic beasts lurk in the river, and even super-powered individuals dare not say they can successfully cross the Huanglong River without any damage.

Seeing Ao Qiu chasing after her, Bai Ruyu calmly dipped the soft sword in her hand into the Yellow Dragon River.

In an instant, water energy surged forth, swirling around the soft sword, and the silver snakes danced wildly.

Not only did the soft sword become even brighter, gleaming with a cold light, but the power of the river also seemed to flow into Bai Ruyu's body, instantly enhancing her strength.

Aoqiu didn't care why Bai Ruyu stopped; all he could think about was getting rid of this trouble as soon as possible.

Without slowing down, she swung the giant hammer.

"Gigantify!"

Oqiu roared and slammed his fist down on Bai Ruyu's head with all his might.
