At this moment, Chen Qingwan led her army to attack the mountain stronghold.
The bandits of Tiger Head Village were routed and scattered in all directions.
Chen Qingwan, dressed in military uniform, looked heroic and dashing.
He ordered the annihilation of all bandits and sent men to search for the whereabouts of the tiger descending the mountain.
"Leave no one alive!"
Chen Qingwan's voice was cold and resolute.
The battle between Li Mu and the tiger descending the mountain has reached a fever pitch.
Both of them were injured. Li Mu's left arm was hit by a spiked club, and blood stained his sleeve.
The tiger descending the mountain was stabbed in the right arm by the longsword, which restricted its movement.
But neither side was willing to back down; both were holding their breath, wanting to kill the other.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
The tiger roared and used its last bit of strength.
The spiked club, accompanied by a whistling sound, slammed down towards Li Mu.
This was the tiger's last stand, and Li Mu dared not be careless, so he quickly raised his sword to parry.
"clang!"
With a loud bang, Li Mu was jolted back several steps.
His hand went numb, and he almost lost his grip on the long sword.
The tiger descending the mountain wasn't much better off.
This blow almost exhausted all his strength, and his body was swaying precariously.
Just then, Chen Qingwan arrived.
She was extremely anxious as she saw that the battle between Li Mu and Xia Shan Hu had reached a critical point.
General Li, be careful!
Chen Qingwan shouted and raised the musket that Lu Yan had given her.
"Bang!"
A gunshot shattered the tranquility of the mountain stronghold.
The spiked club in the tiger's hand flew away with a sound.
It traced a parabola in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
Tiger was stunned, staring incredulously at his empty hands.
He then looked at the "strange weapon" in Chen Qingwan's hand.
For a moment, I didn't know how to react.
"What kind of weapon is this?"
The tiger descending the mountain muttered to itself.
He had never seen such a powerful weapon.
With a single blow, he knocked away the spiked club he relied on for survival.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Mu stepped forward and kicked him in the stomach.
Then, pointing the sword at his neck, he said coldly:
"Surrender!"
The tiger descended the mountain and slumped to the ground, realizing that his situation was hopeless and he was powerless to resist.
He glared at Li Mu, his eyes filled with resentment, but dared not resist in the slightest.
Chen Qingwan approached the two of them, her gaze falling on Xia Shanhu.
She looked the burly man up and down, his face covered in a thick beard, and pondered to herself.
Although this person was defeated, the fact that he could fight Li Mu for so long shows that he was quite skilled in martial arts.
Now is the time when I need people. If I could win this person over, wouldn't that be wonderful?
Thinking of this, Chen Qingwan smiled and said to Li Mu:
"General Li, spare his life!"
Li Mu was slightly taken aback, then sheathed his longsword and looked at Chen Qingwan with a puzzled expression:
"This person is extremely vicious and his crimes are unforgivable..."
Chen Qingwan waved her hand, interrupting Li Mu, and said:
"I have my own plans."
She walked up to the tiger descending the mountain, looked down at him, and said:
"Your name is Descending Tiger?"
The tiger looked up and glared at Chen Qingwan without saying a word.
Chen Qingwan was not annoyed and continued:
"Your martial arts skills are superb; you are a rare talent."
"Now that you're in my hands, you only have two paths to take: death."
"The second option is to submit to me and serve me. The choice is yours."
The tiger descending the mountain remained silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
Their defeat was inevitable; if they resisted to the end, they would only face certain death.
If they submit to this woman, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said:
"I'll submit to you, but you have to agree to one condition."
Chen Qingwan raised an eyebrow with interest and said:
"What are the conditions?"
Tiger Descending the Mountain said:
"I want to fight you one-on-one! If you defeat me, I will willingly submit to you."
"If you lose..."
He paused, a sly glint in his eyes, and said:
"If you lose, you let me go!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingwan burst into laughter, her clear and melodious laughter echoing throughout the mountain village.
She said:
"You've got some nerve, daring to negotiate with me! But I admire your courage."
Upon hearing this, Li Mu quickly stepped forward to dissuade him:
"Absolutely not! This man is cunning and treacherous; how can you, sir, put yourself in such danger?"
Chen Qingwan waved her hand and said:
"General Li, there is no need to worry. I know what I'm doing."
Chen Qingwan's laughter gradually subsided, and she looked at the tiger descending the mountain with a mocking gaze.
He casually tapped his chest with the musket.
"Brother Tiger, you've already witnessed the power of the weapon in my hand. Are you sure you still want to fight me?"
The tiger's once fierce face was now filled with embarrassment.
He swallowed hard and said in a gruff voice:
"You can't use that weird weapon."
Chen Qingwan feigned surprise and covered her mouth.
"Oh, what do you mean? You're going to fight me hand-to-hand with this little woman without weapons?"
"I'm just a weak woman who can't even kill a chicken!"
As she spoke, she deliberately put on a weak and spineless appearance.
The tiger descending the mountain was stunned.
He was a burly man, and he was wrestling with a delicate woman.
If we win, wouldn't people laugh their heads off? It would be an unfair victory!
But if he loses, where will he put his face as the Tiger of the Mountain?
How can he possibly survive on this outlaw trail?
