The young nobleman and his dozen or so attendants were all excellent horsemen.
Once they catch up with Fang Han, they'll probably slash him with a dozen or so ghost-headed swords.
If these people could casually regard Fang Han as a demon from Yin Yang Mountain, they could also kill people without restraint.
To them, human life is probably as worthless as grass.
Moreover, they must have done plenty of these lawless things.
But Fang Han stole the noble young master's divine steed, and with Fang Han's riding skills, how could these people possibly catch up with him?
Fang Han rode the black horse, which galloped towards Yanming City like a black lightning bolt.
The thunderous sound of hooves echoed across the wilderness, each landing raising a cloud of dust, and in the blink of an eye, he had created a long distance between himself and his pursuers.
The young nobleman and his entourage were extremely anxious. They slapped their mounts hard on the rump with their sabers and shouted incessantly, trying to make the horses run faster.
The horse had tried its best, but it still couldn't close the distance with Fang Han. It could only watch helplessly as Fang Han ran further and further away.
"Boy, I will tear you to pieces, and even exterminate your entire family."
Seeing that he couldn't catch up with Fang Han, the young nobleman became so angry that his face turned red, the veins on his neck bulged, and he shouted at the top of his lungs.
He came out today with malicious intent to bully others and have fun, thinking he could abuse Fang Han at will, but he ended up suffering a huge setback.
Not only was his divine steed stolen, but his wrist was also struck by Fang Han's sharp sword. Even now, his wrist still throbs with pain, as if reminding him of the humiliation he suffered.
"Exterminate your entire family? Do you have the ability to do that?"
Upon hearing the noble young master's vicious words, Fang Han, who was riding on horseback, stretched out a hand behind him.
He didn't turn his head to look back, but simply flicked his fingers a few times.
In an instant, several inconspicuous pebbles shot backward like arrows.
Under the sunlight, the pebbles traced sharp lines as they hurtled towards the pursuing horses, striking several horses squarely in the front hooves.
The galloping horses seemed to have their bones suddenly removed; their forelegs buckled and their entire bodies tilted forward.
Caught off guard, the riders were flung off like kites with broken strings as their horses stumbled.
Those attendants, after all, had some strength. In this sudden turn of events, they only suffered minor injuries. One by one, they scrambled to their feet, their faces still showing signs of shock.
However, the pampered young nobleman was not so lucky.
His body, propelled by powerful inertia, slammed straight toward the roadside and crashed into a thick, large tree.
With a loud bang, the young master's head slammed heavily against the tree trunk, and blood instantly gushed from his forehead, flowing down his cheeks, making him look extremely miserable.
"Kid, don't let me, Ye Qianqiu, find you."
The young nobleman's face was contorted with rage, and his eyes flashed with venomous resentment.
He clutched his bleeding head, struggled to his feet, stared intently in the direction where Fang Han had disappeared on horseback, and cursed viciously.
This guy is no ordinary person.
He is Ye Qianqiu, the son of Ye Zhong, the city lord of Yanming City, and Ye Qianqian's older brother. He has an extremely noble status and is a powerful figure in Yanming City.
Ye Qianqiu was infamous in Yanming City, known as the number one纨绔 (a spoiled, dissolute young man). He was arrogant and domineering, and no one dared to provoke him.
And this guy has recently fallen in love again, falling for Tantai Qiuyue.
Tantai Qiuyue was like a flower on a high mountain, beautiful yet aloof, and she remained oblivious to Ye Qianqiu's attempts to please her.
This greatly damaged Ye Qianqiu's self-esteem, so he tried to prove himself in various ways so that Tantai Qiuyue would look at him differently. However, he did not expect to suffer such a big loss from Fang Han today.
Two days ago, he received news that more than a dozen people from the Yanming City Command of the Demon Suppression Division had died at the foot of Yin Yang Mountain, and even the deputy commander Fang Sihai had been crippled. Tantai Qiuyue personally led the elite troops of the Demon Suppression Division to Yin Yang Mountain to investigate, but they found nothing.
So, he took his entourage and, without telling his father Ye Zhong, went to Yin Yang Mountain.
They wandered around Yin-Yang Mountain for a day, and even camped there last night, but they didn't find any demons or monsters.
When Ye Qianqiu and his group saw Fang Han come down from Yin Yang Mountain wearing a strange mask, they thought that even if this guy wasn't a demon, they could still torture him into confessing and making him a demon, or even have him confess to the murder case of the Demon Suppression Division on Yin Yang Mountain. That would be a great help to Tantai Qiuyue, and Tantai Qiuyue's impression of him would change.
Ye Qianqiu never expected that he would not only fail to catch himself, but also have his horse stolen, and he would also be injured and left looking disheveled.
“Young Master Ye, your horse is a divine steed. Obviously, whether this kid keeps the horse or sells it, we can easily find him.”
While skillfully bandaging Ye Qianqiu's head, one of the attendants said, "Moreover, he went towards Yanming City, not Tianyi City. Once he enters Yanming City, he will be walking into a trap and become a sitting duck."
"You go back to Yanming City right now and tell the city's garrison that if anyone is seen riding my black horse, arrest them all."
Ye Qianqiu immediately gave the order.
He knew he couldn't catch the masked man now, but he had never suffered such a loss before, and he wouldn't give up easily.
...
Fang Han rode Ye Qianqiu's black horse at full speed back to Yanming City.
