Chapter 1734 No One Left Alive
Several days passed like this. The autumn colors became darker and darker, and white frost began to appear on the withered yellow grass leaves they passed by. Then, they encountered their first chase on an evening with the sunset.
A group of masked men, numbering over twenty, appeared from nowhere, emerging from various corners of the forest.
Without saying a word, he drew his sword and went forward
Xia Fuyi, who was preparing to make a fire, threw a handful of firewood out without even raising her head.
The firewood infused with internal energy instantly turned into something as sharp as a sword, easily knocking away several masked men who were surrounding Li Chi.
The next moment, Xia Fuyi appeared in front of Li Chi, with her sword unsheathed. In the setting sun, it shone with a glow as bright as fire and as cold as snow.
She and Lian Tang protected Li Chi in front and behind respectively. Their dark eyes reflected the silent men in black around them, their gazes indifferent and emotionless.
Li Chi, who was protected by two people, did not say much. He just lowered his eyes and glanced at the girl in white in front of him, then took two steps back and retreated to the front of the carriage, avoiding the dangerous situation of being surrounded by enemies.
"Fuyi, you stay with the Master!"
Lian Tang shouted, drew his sword and rushed out.
Xia Fuyi stayed in front of Li Chi, protecting him with just a sword. Anyone who Lian Tang couldn't deal with and broke through to the carriage and wanted to attack Li Chi was almost all killed by her sword lightly and viciously.
A chaotic battle unfolded, with the setting sun sneaking through the gaps between the leaves, casting a shadow of blood all over the ground and countless silent swords and sabers.
There were more than twenty people, but in the end, no one could get close to Li Chi.
Until there were only five killers left, they finally decided to retreat.
He left as quietly and quickly as he had come.
At this time, Xia Fuyi still had a survivor in his hand.
She grabbed the collar of the man in black and turned to Li Chi and asked,
"Do you want to leave him alive?"
The silver-masked man looked at the man in black, curled his lips slightly, but his eyes behind the mask were ice-cold.
He shook his head and said lightly,
"Need not."
Xia Fuyi was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand and easily cut the masked man's throat with a sword.
Blood gushed out, but not a drop of it touched the girl.
She threw the man to the ground. Lian Tang, who was slightly injured, came over and covered his wrist while making a hissing sound.
"Looks like we need to find another place to stay."
Xia Fuyi nodded silently and followed the instructions. Then she stared at his wrist, raised her hand and tore off a corner of her sleeve, and said concisely,
"I'll bandage you."
Lian Tang giggled and agreed happily.
Xia Fuyi lowered her head and skillfully wrapped the strips of cloth around his wrists.
Li Chi stood aside, looking at the two people who were very close to each other, and narrowed his eyes slightly behind the mask.
Lian Tang, who was happily receiving bandage treatment from a professional, suddenly felt a chill on his back. When he looked up, his young master had already turned around and got into the carriage.
He blinked in confusion, then his attention was drawn to the pain in his wrist, and he had no time to care about anything else.

The rest of the day passed uneventfully, without further incident.
However, this assassination was just the beginning.
From that day on, large numbers of troops would unexpectedly surround them at various locations almost every other day.
The number of these killers who caught up with them gradually increased from the initial twenty to thirty and forty. Even the killers' martial arts continued to become stronger and stronger, until even Xia Fuyi began to feel overwhelmed.
