"We're here! Almost there!"
Looking at the border line not far away, Fusu encouraged Xiaoya.
The young girl's black hair was soaked with sweat. Even though her body was already exhausted, she gritted her teeth and kept up with Fusu's pace.
If it weren't for the fact that she used to work often and had good physical strength, she probably would have collapsed from exhaustion on the road long ago.
As the two continued onward, getting closer and closer to the other side, a rustling sound suddenly came from the bushes on their right.
Suddenly, the leading Xiongnu soldier leaped out of the bushes, slashing down with his curved blade, aiming straight at Xiaoya.
Fusu reacted quickly and pulled Xiaoya towards him, thus preventing the girl from being hit by the sword.
But their path ahead was blocked by the Xiongnu soldiers.
Fusu pulled Xiaoya back, preparing to flee to the rear, when another Xiongnu soldier rushed out and blocked the road behind them.
Fusu looked to his right, and two Xiongnu soldiers stepped out.
Soon, seven Xiongnu soldiers stood on all sides, surrounding the two.
"Kill that woman!"
At the command of the leading Xiongnu soldier, Xiongnu soldiers rushed forward and slashed at Xiaoya with their scimitars.
Upon seeing this, Fusu's expression tightened, and he quickly pulled the girl into his arms, shielding her beneath him.
Just as the curved blade was about to fall on Fusu, a long sword flew out and blocked Fusu's path.
Immediately, a figure appeared, shouting, "Do not harm my lord!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Fusu opened his eyes and looked over, immediately startled, "General Meng?"
Meng Tian's eyes were icy cold. He gripped his longsword and pushed it forcefully, causing the Xiongnu soldier to retreat.
Then the longsword slashed horizontally, and a gash instantly appeared on the neck of the Xiongnu soldier, blood gushing out. The Xiongnu soldier fell to the ground with a "thud," and there was no further reaction.
A squad of dozens of elite soldiers followed closely behind, and with swift sword strokes, they killed all the remaining Xiongnu soldiers.
Meng Tian walked up to Fusu, his face full of concern, "Young Master, are you alright?"
Fusu looked at him with slight confusion, "I'm fine, but what are you doing here?"
Meng Tian replied, "The Grand Master said you were in danger, so I rushed over!"
Meanwhile, far away in Xianyang, Xiaoyao frowned deeply. "Is the eldest young master really in danger? Is the young master joking?"
After a moment's thought, he shook his head slightly and began to study the Buddhist scriptures carefully. "It shouldn't be."
Fusu looked at Meng Tian and said, "By the way, there are still civilians over there who have been captured by the Xiongnu!"
Meng Tian cupped his hands in greeting, "Your Highness, rest assured, I am here!"
······
The short man sized up Hu Hai and couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Haha! Hahaha! Hahaha!"
"Kill us? You're quite an interesting kid!"
He looked at him with disdain.
It was naturally laughable to him that a child who was only a little over ten years old would say such a thing.
After all, the people in the hall now include not only him and the old man in the Taoist robe, two top assassins, but also the Shadow Lord, that unfathomable monster.
The Lord of Shadows looked at Little Hu Hai, his gaze cold and deep, and said, "Night Soul, we must not be careless."
Night Soul's smile vanished, and he turned to look at the Lord of Shadows. "We must not be careless?"
Then his expression changed, and a maniacal smile appeared on his face. "What kind of joke are you making!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he darted out and instantly appeared in front of Xiao Huhai. He gripped the dagger in his right hand and thrust it straight at Xiao Huhai's heart.
Faced with this sudden attack, Xiao Huhai stood still with a cold expression, as if he hadn't reacted at all.
Seeing this, Ye Hun's smile deepened. He felt that Xiao Hu Hai was too weak and couldn't keep up with his speed, so he couldn't react in time.
However, the next moment, Ye Hun's expression froze.
Just as the dagger was inches away from Xiao Huhai, his small body slightly shifted to the side, perfectly avoiding the stab.
"Zzz!"
The sword light flashed by, and Night Soul's figure froze in mid-air, a gash already split open in his chest.
His eyes widened, his face filled with shock. "How is this possible?!"
The elderly man in the Taoist robe standing not far away was also taken aback.
Night Soul is known for his speed. Even some experts lose their lives before they even know how they were stabbed.
But this child not only dodged his attacks, but even managed to strike him back, which was truly bizarre.
Only the Lord of Shadows remained calm, as if he had expected this outcome, and said in a deep voice, "This kid's aura is extraordinary!"
Struck by a sword, Night Soul was forced to retreat rapidly, pulling himself back to a safe distance.
He touched the blood flowing from his body, stared at the crimson stain in his hand, and exclaimed in shock, "I... I was slashed?"
After a moment of shock, he suddenly burst into laughter, "Good! Hahaha! Good!"
His expression gradually became frenzied, and the way he looked at Xiao Huhai was like a hunter eyeing his long-awaited prey, "You little rascal, you're really something to look forward to!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.
In the next instant, his figure appeared behind Xiao Huhai, and the dagger, gleaming coldly, roared down, aiming straight for Xiao Huhai's neck.
Despite being slashed, Night Soul's eyes were filled with excitement.
However, just as the dagger was about to fall on his neck, Xiao Huhai, who had been completely unresponsive, suddenly raised his long sword.
"clang!"
When the dagger struck the longsword, the intense killing intent was instantly dissipated.
Night Soul's eyes changed slightly.
While he was still in a daze, the figure of Xiao Huhai in front of him vanished in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, it appeared behind him, and the long sword drew an arc and crashed down with a roar, heading straight for Ye Hun's back.
The sword strike came suddenly, and Xiao Huhai's sword strike was extremely fast.
By the time he sensed that powerful sword intent, the sword light had already flashed past, and Ye Hun had no chance to dodge.
"Zzz!"
A gash appeared on his back, and blood gushed out.
Night Soul gritted his teeth, took a leap forward, and retreated several steps away to create a safe distance.
He looked at Xiao Huhai, his eyes turning from excitement to icy coldness. "Good lad! Give this a try!"
After speaking, he suddenly lunged forward, moving with the speed of a ghost, and instantly appeared in front of Xiao Huhai, his dagger whistling as it stabbed towards Xiao Huhai's face.
Faced with this swift and powerful thrust, Xiao Huhai remained calm and stood still, not moving an inch.
Just as the dagger was about to pierce Xiao Huhai, Ye Hun's figure suddenly disappeared.
The next instant, it appeared behind Xiao Huhai, moving so fast that it seemed to appear out of thin air.
The dagger fell with a thud, aiming for Xiao Huhai's neck.
"clang!"
However, in the next instant, this fierce thrust was also instantly neutralized by the longsword.
Night Soul was filled with shock. "This is impossible!"
He had used this move to kill countless masters with his extraordinary speed, but it was truly unbelievable that a little guy could react to it.
While he was still in shock, the sword light flashed again.
Night Soul crashed to the ground, another deep wound opening in his chest, exposing bone, and blood gushed out.
He clutched his wound, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Xiao Huhai. "This guy... he seems to be a monster!"
