If Zhao Cheng grabs his wrist or shoulder, Xu Qingshan's instinctive reaction is to push Zhao Cheng away and then chase after Chen Chong.
But now, Zhao Cheng is just grabbing at the hem of his clothes.
She even looked a little shy...
This completely stumped Xu Qingshan!
What are you trying to do?
What does that mean?
In fact, Zhao Cheng had no intention of doing anything; he was simply trying to grab Xu Qingshan, but he reached out too late and only managed to grab the hem of his clothes.
Zhao Cheng said, "There's a saying... Don't pursue a desperate enemy!"
Xu Qingshan said, "If we don't chase after them now, we really won't be able to catch them."
Zhao Cheng glanced ahead and saw that Yu Beipiao and Chen Chong were already submerged in the rapeseed flowers. He said, "It will be difficult to catch up with them now."
Xu Qingshan glanced at Zhao Cheng's hand again and saw that he was still clutching the hem of his clothes.
Zhao Cheng then released his grip and laughed, "I'm sorry, hero! I'm just a country bumpkin, I was scared!"
After saying this, Zhao Cheng immediately ran down the path and raised his hands to cheer for the villagers.
"The people of Southern Zhou were driven away by this great hero!!"
"We won!!!"
Seeing that Xu Qingshan was caught between a rock and a hard place, Zhao Cheng smiled coldly to himself.
He had his own calculations.
No matter who you are, they won't let you leave easily.
What if you're here to kill me?
If I leave you in the shadows, wouldn't I be in great danger?
You definitely wouldn't dare kill me openly, otherwise you wouldn't have used someone else to do it.
Then I'll put you in the open!
"Hero, come quickly! The villagers all want to thank you!!"
Xu Qingshan didn't move, but a few enthusiastic and bold villagers, encouraged by Zhou Nuo, ran towards him. Once someone started, more people followed.
"Hero! Hero!! Hero!!!"
Xu Qingshan was surrounded by the villagers, and his face immediately turned red.
She's really thin-skinned.
But he glanced in the direction Chen Chong had fled and sighed.
He thought to himself, "My credit is going to be stolen."
...
"Huff... huff..."
Chen Chong and Yu Beipiao fled the rapeseed field and ran into the woods to the east.
Seeing that no one was chasing them from the rapeseed field in the distance, the two slowed down.
Although he was a top-notch expert, the fierce battle just now had taken a heavy toll, and he was now somewhat exhausted.
Chen Chong said, "Senior, they have already seen what you look like. You can no longer stay in Changsui. Come back to Nanzhou with me."
Yu Beipiao's eyes gleamed with anticipation, but he said with some shame, "It's rare for me to be used like this, but I failed to complete the mission. I'm truly ashamed to face the Grand Commander..."
Chen Chong said, "The Junior Commander is gradually taking over the affairs of the Senior Commander. The intelligence system is already under his control. He loves talent. If someone like you returns to the country, he will only be happy and will not blame you."
Yu Beipiao said, "I'm old."
Chen Chong understood what Yu Beipiao meant: he wanted to return to China, but only to retire there.
Chen Chong advised, "If you were in your prime, Zhao Wu would certainly be no match for you, but you are still a formidable fighting force. Serve Southern Zhou for a few more years, and the young governor will surely give you a good home."
"That's all we can do," Yu Beipiao nodded.
Just then, the two suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing from behind.
It felt as if something in the wind tapped them on the head.
The two of them suddenly looked up and then gazed ahead.
Whoosh!
A pebble flew towards them at high speed, and Yu Beipiao raised his broadsword to block it.
Looking closely, I saw a man standing between two trees in front of me.
The man was unusually thin, tossing pebbles in his hand and playing with them.
A woman landed beside a man.
Chen Chong and Yu Beipiao then realized that the woman had flown from behind them, touched their heads, and then landed.
The stone was thrown by this man.
The two exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves how amazing this woman's lightness skill was!
Yu Beipiao asked, "May I ask your honorable names?"
Luo Ying's lips curved slightly as she smiled and said, "We're all about to die, why ask so many questions?"
Asking for names is a way of finding out whether the other party is friend or foe, but now that the other party has made their stance clear, Yu Beipiao and Chen Chong are both preparing for battle.
Yu Beipiao placed the broadsword in front of himself and Chen Chong, and Chen Chong gripped the sword tightly.
Seeing this, Luo Ying closed her hands, put the pebbles into her pocket, and took out a pair of gloves from her pocket and put them on.
The gloves were jet black and exuded a putrid smell.
"Both of you are top-notch experts. A pebble won't kill you. I need to get serious."
Judging from the speed and force of that pebble, Chen Chong knew Luo Ying was a master. He suggested, "This person is unfathomable. Why don't we abandon defense and launch a joint attack? We need to get out of here as soon as possible and prevent the people behind us from catching up!"
Yu Beipiao nodded and said, "That's feasible."
After speaking, Yu Beipiao raised his broadsword and then chopped it down from a distance.
A tremendous blade of energy surged towards Luo Ying.
Chen Chong followed closely behind Dao Jin, thrusting the Hunyuan Sword at Luo Ying.
Yu Beipiao attacked the surface, while Chen Chong attacked the point; the two cooperated very well and organized the attack in a very layered manner!
But Luo Ying just smiled lightly, her hands empty-handed, facing the swords and knives.
But in fact, his gloves were weapons!
Snap!
Snap!
"Step back."
Luo Ying said something softly to Liu Ling, and then directly rushed into the blade energy. She grabbed the Hunyuan Sword with her left hand and the broadsword with her right hand, and with a turn in place, she actually threw Yu Beipiao and Chen Chong away!
Although several explosions occurred around him, his body remained unharmed.
"senior!"
Seeing Yu Beipiao fall to the ground, Chen Chong quickly got up and ran towards Yu Beipiao.
Luo Ying began to fight back, charging towards them.
"Senior, let's stick to defense!"
Left with no other choice, Yu Beipiao quickly picked up his broadsword and blocked Chen Chong's path.
Yushan plank knife.
When in motion, it is like fire; when still, it is like a mountain.
The defensive posture is like a mountain blocking our way!
Luo Ying slammed his palm onto the broadsword.
Boom!!!
Yu Beipiao's expression hardened, and he felt as if his internal organs were about to be shaken out.
But that wasn't what made him even more upset. Luo Ying's palm actually sank into the blade, and he actually slapped the blade through with his palm!
Yu Beipiao was completely stunned. The Yushan board knife, which even Zhao Wu's two broken blades couldn't cut through, was actually pierced by Luo Ying's palm!
After Luo Ying pierced through the blade with her palm, she grabbed Yu Beipiao by the throat and yanked him.
Yu Beipiao was immediately decapitated.
"These gloves of mine are called 'coffin support gloves'."
Luo Ying turned her head and smiled slightly at Chen Chong, saying, "You're luckier than him; at least you'll know what weapon killed you before you die."
After saying that, Luo Ying pulled her hand out and reached for Chen Chong's head.
Chen Chong was too terrified to resist. The shadow of a hand gradually appeared on his face, and his pale lips trembled as he stammered, "You...you...you...you're a Grandmaster!!!"
