Lan Xueruo carefully checked Yun Che's injuries, and the results made her breathe a sigh of relief, but also shocked. Because Yun Che's injuries were much better than she expected. His shoulder had been severely injured, but now the bleeding had stopped, and there was no sign of deterioration. Instead, it was healing at a very amazing speed that could be seen by the naked eye. There were countless other scars on his body, but they were all minor injuries. His body was very weak, but it was just weakness, not fundamentally injured, and the internal injuries were also very minor.
It was totally incredible that he only suffered this level of trauma after falling from such a high place and pushing her back with all his strength, causing himself to fall faster under the reverse force.
She picked up Yun Che from the ground and placed him on the soft grass nearby. This was the first time she held a man's body, and she held him very carefully, with her heart beating uncontrollably. Then she quietly stayed by his side, waiting for him to wake up again.
This is a mountainous area, with countless not-too-high hills and cliffs dotting the entire field of vision. Although it is full of greenery, it exudes an extremely desolate atmosphere.
In the distance, the long roars of mysterious beasts could be heard from time to time. This also made Lan Xueruo stay beside Yun Che and dare not move a step, lest the mysterious beasts get close and hurt Yun Che. After more than half an hour, she suddenly moved her eyebrows and looked to her right. In her sight, there were five people walking towards this side, three adults and two children.
The three men looked to be in their 30s or 40s, all with fierce looks. They wore the same light armor, and their exposed muscles were dark and rough, obviously people who often traveled outside. The oldest one was tall, with a face full of flesh, and carried a huge axe on his shoulder. The youngest one was thin, with a pointed face, and dragged a large iron rod more than one meter long in his hand. The other one had a horse face and also carried a large iron rod. In terms of Xuanli cultivation, the highest one was already at the eighth level of the Ruxuan Realm, and the lowest one was at the sixth level of the Ruxuan Realm.
The two children looked only about seven or eight years old, a boy and a girl, wearing coarse cloth. What was noticeable was that they both had a very light red mark on their foreheads, shaped like a burning flame. Their arms were held in the hands of one person each, and as they walked forward step by step, the tears on their faces were clearly visible.
When Lan Xueruo saw them, they also saw Lan Xueruo. Almost at the same time, the three men stopped at the same time, staring at Lan Xueruo with their eyes, releasing the light of a wolf.
"Hurry... look! That girl over there... is so hot! Hiss... I have never seen such a beautiful woman in my life." The horse-faced man said as he drooled uncontrollably.
The sharp-mouthed man couldn't bear it any more. He squeezed his legs together and trembled all over. "She is a hundred times more beautiful than the fairies in my dreams. My legs are almost weak. If we catch her and make her the captain's wife, the captain will be so happy. He might even reward us with a deputy captain..."
"You are so stupid!" The axe man slapped the sharp-mouthed man on the neck, then licked the corner of his mouth vigorously, his eyes showing lust: "If we take this girl back, the leader will definitely have a party every night, and there will be a share for us? Tsk tsk, we actually met such a beautiful girl in such a place, it's simply a reward from God for us."
The pointed-mouthed man's eyes lit up, his legs trembled even more violently, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Yes! Big brother is right! Then what are we waiting for!"
“However, this beautiful girl looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, but she has the cultivation level of the eighth level of the Profound Realm.” The axe man frowned.
"What? Eighth level of the Nascent Profound Realm?" The pointed-mouthed man and the horse-faced man were both shocked. "She's so young yet has such a strong profound strength. She might be a disciple of a big family, or even a genius. If we take action, what if the family behind her finds out..."
“Tsk! Look at your lack of ambition.” The axe man glared at him with disdain, then licked his lips and laughed obscenely: “We in the Black Magic Mercenary Group live on the edge of a knife every day. Who are we afraid of? Not to mention that she might be a disciple of a big family. Since we have run into her, even if she is the daughter of the current emperor, hehehehe, we will take her today! Tsk tsk, it’s worth it even if I die immediately to enjoy this kind of celestial beauty that I can’t even dream of!”
The pointed-mouthed man and the horse-faced man nodded like chicks pecking at rice, and were so excited that they could hardly walk.
Although they were talking quietly, the two children they were holding could hear it clearly. Their faces showed fear and worry. The little boy held his breath and suddenly shouted loudly: "Big sister, run! They are bad people, they want to hurt you...Ah!!"
The little boy was kicked to the ground by the horse-faced man and let out a painful scream. The little girl hurried over, picked him up, and started crying while hugging him.
The little boy's voice and the scene that followed all fell into Lan Xueruo's ears and eyes. She frowned slightly and stood up from the ground. At this time, the axe man and the sharp-mouthed man had also walked over and stood in front of her with lewd smiles on their faces. The sharp-mouthed man had a lustful look in his eyes that couldn't be more obvious. He rubbed his fingers together with his hands, obviously unable to wait. If he was not afraid of the other party's eighth-level profound strength cultivation, he would have pounced on him directly: "Little sister, why are you here alone? Are you lost? Do you want your brother to take you away from here?"
Lan Xueruo had faced many similar looks and expressions, but this was the first time someone was so blatant and undisguised. The reason was obvious, because this was a desolate place, and she was alone. Deep disgust condensed between her brows, and she replied lightly: "Put down those two children, and then get out!"
Even without the little boy's shouting, she could tell at a glance that the two children were abducted by them.
"Wow!" The axe man was happy, "This girl is not only beautiful, but also very sexy! We brothers can have a good time now, hehehehe..."
"Big sister! Run! They are bad guys, very powerful bad guys... Run! Ah~~~"
The little boy shouted at Lan Xueruo again, but was immediately slapped to the ground by the horse-faced man, who said viciously, "You little bastard, be quiet. If I didn't think you were still useful, I would have torn you apart long ago. If you dare to shout again, I'll tear your mouth apart first."
The boy and girl hugged each other tightly, their eyes filled with fear and their bodies trembling.
Lan Xueruo's face was filled with anger. Just because the little boy warned her with good intentions regardless of the consequences, she could not watch them continue to be taken away by these three disgusting villains. But Yun Che was lying next to them. If they fought, there was a possibility that he would be affected. She clenched her hands and said angrily: "I say it again, put down those two children and get out of here!"
“Hehehehe!” Facing Lan Xueruo’s scolding, the three of them not only did not change their expressions, but instead burst into laughter. The axe man said lustfully, “Beauty wants us to get out? Of course we would love to… I wonder if the beauty wants to roll with us here? Or roll on the grass, or go back to the bed?”
The pointed-mouthed man and the horse-faced man burst into laughter. Lan Xueruo frowned, her face icy, and whispered, "You're looking for death!"
As she finished speaking, she touched her left hand with her right hand, and a white jade-like long sword was already in her hand. Instantly, the eyes of the three axe men lit up: "Space ring! It's actually a space ring! We've made a fortune this time, and this sword definitely doesn't look ordinary."
Even the lowest-level space rings were expensive and not affordable for ordinary people. The three people's evil eyes began to be filled with greed.
Lan Xueruo took a step forward at this time and stabbed the axe man with a sword. The axe man had the strength of the eighth level of the Nascent Profound Realm and posed the greatest threat.
“Hahahaha! Look, the three of us brothers are going to teach this little beauty a lesson today!” With wild laughter, the axe man swung his huge axe and swept it towards the jade sword that was stabbing at Lan Xueruo. The pointed-mouthed man next to him also laughed lewdly and grabbed the iron rods with both hands at the same time and swung it hard.
The axe and the stick hit Lan Xueruo's jade sword one after another, dispersing Lan Xueruo's sword power and causing a dull pain in her palm. She quickly stepped back, and with a low shout, her long sword drew an inclined arc, covering the middle of the two people at the same time:
"Seven Stars Flirting with the Moon!"
After one sword strike, more than ten sword strikes followed, the sword momentum was continuous, and the white jade sword cast brilliant white shadows as she danced. Her Xuanli at this time was at the eighth level of the Ruxuan Realm, the same as the axe man, but she was still young after all. In terms of combat experience, she could not compare with the axe man, and the depth of Xuanli was even more incomparable. Therefore, facing the axe man alone, she would be the one who struggled, not to mention that there was a person at the seventh level of the Ruxuan Realm... Not far away, there was a horse-faced man at the sixth level of the Ruxuan Realm controlling two children, staring at them covetously.
After more than a dozen encounters, all of Lan Xueruo's attacks were repelled, and several times even the sword almost fell out of her hand. The axe man laughed loudly, suddenly jumped high, and chopped down with the huge axe with amazing power:
"Thousand-pound Break!"
when!!
Lan Xueruo's sword force was completely shattered in an instant. Her whole body trembled and she took five steps back. Her right arm trembled slightly and the long sword almost slipped out of her hand again.
“Hehehe, boss is so awesome.” The sharp-mouthed man flattered her, then said with a lewd smile, “Little beauty, you’d better obey us obediently. If we continue to fight, what if we accidentally hurt your beautiful body? Tsk tsk, what a pity.”
Lan Xueruo's chest rose and fell, but her face was calm. She reached out her hand, grabbed the gemstone necklace that had been worn around her neck, and gently pulled it down.
The moment the gemstone necklace left her snow-white neck, her profound energy surged instantly, and her beautiful eyes slowly reflected a sacred golden color. She slowly raised the jade sword in her hand... A layer of golden light was clearly covering the snow-white sword body.
