Li Shiyue faced off against six barbarians, including Agulang, all by himself!
Agulang hid at the very back, where four barbarians were blocking his way.
Agulang drew another arrow from the quiver on the barbarian's back. He no longer felt the ease he had when he first arrived at Liujiatun, and he couldn't even recall the initial excitement of guessing that there were Han soldiers in the kitchen.
He now felt a slight regret: "If I had known there were such skilled people, I would have brought two more bows with me."
Yes, because the last time Agulang led the barbarians to plunder Liujiatun, it was so easy that those Han people were just like two-legged sheep, only knowing how to run in panic. When they were caught, they could only kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy.
Therefore, Agulang was careless this time. He thought that Li Shiyue and his group were as fragile and vulnerable as the Liujiatun people they had killed before, like delicate lambs.
Therefore, when Agulang and his men came to Liujiatun this time, only one of the barbarians brought a bow and a quiver of twenty arrows.
He nocked an arrow, drew the bow, and released it, aiming straight for Li Shiyue's forehead!
With her exceptional senses, Li Shiyue immediately activated the "Sunflower Manual," changing direction to dodge the arrow before it arrived.
The arrowhead was deeply embedded in the ground!
Li Shiyue took two steps back and looked at Agulang, who was hiding behind the barbarians. Her expressionless face was filled with a sharp look as she stared at Agulang.
Agulang saw something in Li Shiyue's eyes: "He's killed people!"
At the same time, Agulang was also surprised: "She was actually able to dodge my arrow!"
Yes, Agulang realized that Li Shiyue was a woman.
Even though Li Shiyue had her hair styled like a man's and wore men's clothes, her face, eyebrows, and even her figure were so feminine that it was hard to recognize her as a man.
Li Shiyue glanced at it and estimated that there were about ten arrows left in the quiver the barbarian was carrying.
"If ranged attacks fail, we'll have to resort to close-quarters combat!"
Li Shiyue had considered using an embroidery needle to kill Agulang, who was holding a bow, but Agulang was experienced and dodged too well. Li Shiyue wasn't even 50% sure of success, so she gave up on using the embroidery needle.
Or, if she practices some more, she should be able to do it.
But not now. Having decided to attack at close range, Li Shiyue charged towards the barbarians without hesitation.
He channeled his inner energy, raised his sword forward, and slashed!
The first barbarian to charge forward knew that Li Shiyue was strong enough to deflect his scimitar, so he also used all his strength to slash at Li Shiyue.
The sound of a scimitar clashing with a wood-chopping knife was followed by another clang. Li Shiyue's wood-chopping knife was no match for the refined scimitar in the barbarian's hand; it broke. The wood-chopping knife broke!
Not to mention the barbarians on the other side, even Li Shiyue herself never expected that her wood-chopping axe would be broken by the curved blade.
Holding the half-broken woodcutter's knife, Li Shiyue dodged a blow from another barbarian and simultaneously thrust the broken blade of the woodcutter's knife toward the neck of the barbarian she was fighting.
With a "pfft," a stream of sticky, hot blood sprayed all over Li Shiyue's head and face.
In an instant, she snatched the curved knife from the barbarian whose throat she had just slit, and raised her hand to block the knife that another barbarian was wielding.
Just then, Li Wangshui and his group finally arrived. It was five against five, no, Li Shiyang and his group were still in the kitchen, so it was eight against five, and the advantage was in my hands!
Li Shiyue held off one barbarian, Li Qiutian and Li Xiatian took on another, and Li Wangshui led Zheng Meiniang and Shitou toward Agulang.
At this moment, Li Shiyang also ran out from behind the kitchen door. He and Wei Zi joined Li Wangshui, Zheng Meiniang, and Shi Tou in attacking A Gulang and his two companions.
While the barbarians were all locked in a standoff with the others, Wang Shisan quickly jumped over the wall near the kitchen and ran out of the yard. Following Li Shiyang's instructions, he went to the back of the kitchen to look for Ma Zi, who had fallen from the roof.
With her helper, Li Shiyue also held a barbarian's curved knife. She circulated her inner strength, and with immense power, she swung the knife extremely fast. The barbarian could not withstand it, and Li Shiyue found an opportunity to slit his throat with the knife.
Li Qiutian and Li Xiatian didn't drink the Vitality Water that Li Shiyue secretly extracted from the system for nothing. The old method, cutting off testicles and slitting throats, still works so well!
Meanwhile, Agulang turned around and stood back-to-back with the other two barbarians, nocked an arrow, drew his bow, and pointed it at Li Shiyang, who had just run out of the kitchen!
Li Shiyang, who was being pointed at by an arrow, was stunned for a moment. In that instant, he regretted that he had come out so early. He really had no power to fight back against Agulang's arrow.
However, he only regretted it for a moment before Li Shiyang threw the knife in his hand. Even though Agulang moved to dodge the knife, he also shot an arrow at the same time!
As Li Shiyang threw the knife, he immediately crouched down, and the arrow tip narrowly grazed his hairline before embedding itself in the wall of the kitchen!
At that moment, Li Shiyue drew his sword and stepped forward to fight the barbarian on Agulang's left.
However, amidst the clanging of swords clashing, Li Shiyue's extraordinary senses also detected the distant sound of horses galloping towards Liujiatun.
"It must be that Third Brother has approached the garrison in Qingsong Town!"
Immediately, Li Shiyue shouted, "Hang in there! The rescue is coming!"
Although Agulang couldn't understand what Li Shiyue was saying, after Li Shiyue said those words, Li Wangshui, who was fighting him, swung his swords with much more force. Agulang guessed that these Han people must have had reinforcements.
If we don't leave now, we really won't be able to leave.
Agulang immediately felt a sense of retreat and wanted to run away.
He hadn't expected that Li Shiyue and his group weren't Han soldiers, but they were tough guys!
Agulang said to the other two barbarians in their tribal language, "Retreat towards the door, run towards the mountain!"
But will Li Shiyue give them a chance to escape?
A barbarian's head is worth five taels of silver!
Li Shiyue was thinking of beheading more barbarians to get silver so she could buy food. Her current strength and internal energy required sufficient food energy to operate.
In an attempt to escape, Agulang drew three arrows from his quiver and shot them at the bewildered mole on the other side. Without pausing, he followed up with three more arrows, shooting them at Li Wangshui and Shitou in another direction.
The two barbarians cooperated with Agulang, and the three of them circled around, shooting everyone in the courtyard one by one.
When there was only one arrow left in the quiver, Agulang and his men had already moved to the entrance of the courtyard.
Suddenly, Agulang shot his last arrow at Li Shiyue. After the arrow was shot, he pushed the barbarian next to him towards Li Shiyue, and then he rushed to the courtyard gate and ran away!
Li Shiyue first dodged the arrow by sidestepping, then stepped forward and stabbed the barbarian who had been pushed and was about to collide with her. After smoothly withdrawing the knife, she ran towards the door.
Once outside, she grabbed her knife and chased after the Black Mountain.
Agulang had never run so fast before. He threw away his bow and ran recklessly toward the other side of Daheishan Mountain with only a knife at his waist.
It was at this moment that Liu Tan, who was riding a horse and leading two squads of soldiers, rushed over from the military camp behind Qingsong Town to rescue people and saw Li Shiyue's back as he chased after Agulang.
Under the power of the Sunflower Manual, no one can outrun Li Shiyue when he is in full pursuit!
Li Shiyue gradually shortened the distance between herself and Agulang, three steps, two steps, one step away. Agulang was only concerned with escaping and did not hear the light footsteps of Li Shiyue as she used her internal energy technique.
While Agulang was still running, Li Shiyue leaped up, the blade aimed at Agulang's neck. With tremendous force, Agulang, whose mouth was still open, was sent flying in an arc, rolling to a stop with two loud thuds.
Decapitation, complete!
Li Shiyue twirled the scimitar she had snatched from the barbarian, flicking the blood off the blade onto the ground.
Holding the knife in her right hand, she took a few steps forward, then grabbed the head of Agulang—no, Agulang's head—from the ground with her left hand. Agulang's eyes were wide open and his mouth was agape.
That's five taels of silver.
Holding Agulang by the braid at the back of his head, Li Shiyue turned around and saw Liu Tan riding a tall horse.
The eldest son of the Prince of Zhenbei has arrived.
