The opponent had four legs, and even if Zheng Quchi's two legs could swing in a dazzling display, they would still be blocked in the end.
As the distance between the two sides closed, she saw a gap ahead that allowed her to break through, and she immediately shot an arrow.
puff--
A tall, burly man was struck in the throat and fell from his horse to the ground, while his warhorse lost control, rearing up and neighing.
It's a pity she can't ride a horse.
Zheng Quchi secretly vowed that if she survived this stroke of luck, she would definitely learn to ride a horse!
Otherwise, even if there were a horse in front of her, allowing her to escape, she would only be able to stare helplessly.
Her thunderous arrow stunned the nomadic barbarians who had surrounded her; they were terrified and stared wide-eyed.
"He, he can shoot a crossbow!"
They had momentarily overlooked the quiver on her back and the crossbow she held to her chest as she nimbly moved through the forest. Now that she had shot and killed someone, they realized that she was a crossbow expert!
With the skill she displayed just now, hitting the target 100% even with a blind shot, there are very few like her, not only in the Nine Provinces, but even among the nomadic tribes skilled in archery.

She didn't bother wiping herself away. After she killed her way out, those wolf-like savages were finally enraged and their pursuit of her became even more ferocious.
Hoo, ha, hoo, ha...
With heavy breathing and her heart rate nearing its limit, she looked down at the long white stone path leading to Changxun Slope. As her gaze drifted into the distance, she accidentally slipped on a small pebble.
Her pupils constricted, she gasped in surprise, her body lurched to the side, and she uncontrollably flailed her arms as she tumbled and fell down the narrow slope.
After the fall, she could no longer feel any pain; her head and body were completely numb.
...So tired.
She lay on the gravel road, surrounded by nomadic barbarians holding the reins of their horses. They turned their horses around and looked down at her as if she were a drowning dog, their loud laughter shrill and jarring.
