When a knife is at your neck, there are few things in the world that cannot be said.
"It's Lord Lu Qi!" the man confessed with chattering teeth. "Someone reported that you were heading south alone, apparently to investigate the whereabouts of the young lady. Lord Lu Qi ordered us to ambush you here!"
"How do I know who Lu Qi is?" Luo Jiujiang sighed in pain. He turned around and saw someone chasing him from a distance. They would surround him in a circle in about two breaths.
The monk knew something was wrong and begged for mercy, "Don't kill me, I really told you everything!"
"Don't worry. When two armies fight, neither side will kill the surrendered soldiers." Luo Jiujiang sighed. He pressed his left hand on the man's dantian and exerted force. With his right hand, he pulled out the monk's belt. In a few seconds, he tied up the monk, who was foaming at the mouth due to the cut-off of spiritual energy. Then he put the monk on his back, carried him on his back and climbed up the tree in two or three leaps.
Luo Jiujiang grasped the monk's collar with one hand, winked at him, and smiled kindly, "You might be a little dizzy, brother, please bear with me."
"What… Ahhhhhhh!" The man barely had time to open his mouth before his voice twisted and distorted in his throat, transforming into a series of shrill screams. Luo Jiujiang repeated his old trick, but on a different target. As the group beneath the tree closed in, he grabbed the monk's ankle and swung him in a full circle, sending him flying like a cannonball.
Just as a human stone bullet spun out and knocked everyone under the tree to the ground, Luo Jiujiang calmly raised his hand and grabbed a bare but flexible branch. He swung it with just the right strength and used the force to leap far away.
He leaped a full thirty to five feet, leaving the pursuers behind him far behind. As soon as he landed, Luo Jiujiang raised his foot so quickly that he almost stepped on something.
When he took a closer look at the "thing" at his feet, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Brother, it seems that the almanac says that you and I are destined to meet today."
Who else could it be but the unlucky guy who was thrown out, as he fell all over the snow, making a semicircle and landing right at his feet?
The man, his hands and feet bound, struggled to pull his head out of the snow. Without even catching his breath, he said with difficulty, "You said you wouldn't cheat me..."
"This shows that as a person, you need to read more." Luo Jiujiang picked up the monk and answered his question in a friendly manner, "I promised not to kill you, but I never said I wouldn't harm you - thank you for your hard work, here!"
He actually threw the monk out into the air again!
Perhaps because he was familiar with the experience, the monk did not lose control and scream in mid-air, but just said with all his strength: "Untie me——"
But he was a step too late. Before he could finish these three words, Luo Jiujiang had already run a long way away.
The method he used to tie up the monk was the crab buckle on the island. However, it was expected that these monks had been staying in the snow and ice for a long time. They had not seen crabs for a long time, let alone crab buckles. It would be strange if they could untie it.
Luo Jiujiang laughed loudly, feeling relaxed, and ran away quickly.
He relaxed a little too early.
Half a moment later, Luo Jiujiang looked at the scene in front of him and felt that he really had nothing to say.
The group of guys ambushing behind him were a mixed bag of good and bad. Although he was attacked from both sides, he handled it calmly, even joking around a bit. But the team of obstacles in front of him were all genuine masters.
The leading cultivator among them had reached the second level of foundation building, while the cultivator with the lowest level was at the eighth level of Qi Refining. There was a bloody smell in the corners of their eyebrows and eyes.
"Did Lu Qi send you here again?" Luo Jiujiang asked in a serious tone.
He only got a "hmm" in response.
Luo Jiujiang frowned slightly, feeling that Lu Qi was a sticky piece of candy that was impossible to get rid of. Not only was he relentless, but he was also inexplicable.
Watching the dozen or so men before him neatly split into two teams, five of them stepping forward to press their sword hilts, while seven stepped back and formed a spell, Luo Jiujiang's thoughts shifted. He sighed and smiled bitterly, "I've always been a man of integrity. Although I'm certainly handsome and well-mannered, I swear to heaven that I have never seduced your Lord Lu Qi's wife..."
As he said this, his shoulders slumped and his face looked dejected, but his gaze, covered by half-drooped eyelids, swept across the faces of the twelve people like lightning.
——It’s you!
Luo Jiujiang quickly seized the fleeting opportunity when the cultivator was distracted by his witty remarks and got close to him in the blink of an eye, intending to use him as a breakthrough point to escape.
Everything changed in an instant. As soon as the corner of Luo Jiujiang's clothes brushed against the corner of this person's clothes, a long alarm bell suddenly rang in his mind!
The big man turned around and grinned, not even looking distracted at all. Luo Jiujiang sensed something was wrong and subconsciously raised his knife to block. With a long, clear clang, Luo Jiujiang's blade collided with the meteor hammer that the big man had pulled out of his sleeve.
It turned out that he was just pretending to make hand gestures, and he was still a martial artist.
Luo Jiujiang's momentum was blocked by the big man, and in the blink of an eye, he was surrounded from behind. Fire Arts and Ice Arts were thrown from all directions to trap Luo Jiujiang's feet, while weapons with gleaming cold light were aimed at the vital points on Luo Jiujiang's chest and back, piercing out in unison!
...Luo Jiujiang really wanted to curse now. These twelve people obeyed orders and advanced and retreated in moderation. It was clear that they had formed a trap!
If the formation was properly arranged, it could practically turn a dozen people into one. A good formation could even outnumber ten to a hundred, so using it against him was a complete waste of talent.
