I thought a skilled fighter would come, but it turned out to be just a black dog.
The lightning bolt rushed forward, but before it could get close, one of the men in black saw his blade cleave the lightning bolt.
"Lightning, bite them, bite them to death!" Gu Xiaoran's eyes were filled with anxiety.
Lightning retreated and ran towards Gu Xiaoran.
The two men in black looked at Lightning's limping body and sneered repeatedly.
I really don't know why, but this lame animal runs surprisingly fast.
One of them scoffed coldly:
"It's bad enough that it's just a dog, but I never expected it to be crippled!"
The man in black had barely finished speaking when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. Turning his head, he saw Gu Xiaoran withdrawing her hand. "You're the cripple!"
The man in black flashed his blade and suddenly swung his hand, slashing at Gu Xiaoran.
If we can't capture him alive, then we'll take his body back.
But the next instant, with a loud bang, before he could even react to what had happened, a glaring bloody hole appeared on his temple.
He was terrified, staggered, and fell heavily to the ground.
Before Qiu Yan could catch her breath, *thud*, she was stabbed in the left shoulder, and a sharp pain shot through her.
The one who made the move was the last remaining man in black, who was also the leader of the men in black.
The man in black trembled, staring in horror at the bleeding wound on the person on the ground.
What kind of weapon is this person holding that allows them to so easily take down another one of their men?
Looking at Qiu Yan again, he no longer held her in contempt, and was now constantly on guard against the unidentified weapon in her hand.
Because Qiu Yan was injured again, Gu Xiaoran's eyes widened and turned bloodshot.
Qiu Yan's steps were unsteady. She took a step forward, then tightened her grip on Gu Xiaoran's body and stood up straight.
The man in black composed himself for a moment, attempting to snatch her musket, but failed. Taking advantage of Qiu Yan's injury, he stabbed her in a vital spot. "Die!"
This man killed both of them in succession; his crime is unforgivable.
Qiu Yan bent over and rolled, dodging the attack from the man in black.
The man in black moved so fast that she couldn't afford to make the slightest mistake in her reaction.
With lightning speed, it lunged forward and bit the man in black's ankle.
Instantly, the man in black's ankle became covered in blood.
He endured the excruciating pain and kicked the lightning with all his might.
Gu Xiaoran's heart leaped into her throat, "Don't hurt Lightning..."
However, his words had absolutely no effect on the man in black in front of him.
Seeing Qiu Yan aim her musket at his heart, the man in black quickly shifted his body to the side.
Another shot rang out, and the man in black was shot in the shoulder. He grimaced in pain, his eyes growing increasingly wary.
Lightning was cushioned by Qiu Yan's movement, but she still couldn't avoid being kicked by that person.
It let out a mournful cry, its body tracing a desolate arc in the air before finally crashing heavily to the ground not far ahead.
It let out another mournful cry, curled its body into a ball, and began to lick its wounds.
The man in black stepped forward, aimed his long knife at Qiu Yan, and slashed hard. Qiu Yan dodged quickly, avoiding a fatal blow, but a bloody gash appeared on her cheek.
These three were second only to Ling Qi and his companion in skill.
If it weren't for Qiu Yan's quick thinking, she would probably be dead by now.
At that very moment, the man in black had already firmly gripped Gu Xiaoran's shoulders, then moved further, encircling his upper body and finally seizing his throat, coldly uttering two words to Qiu Yan:
"stop!"
Even though the man in black was injured, he was still quick. Gu Xiaoran was suddenly taken hostage, her shoulder ached, her throat tightened, and her eyes became red and swollen.
