Li Yan's expression was solemn. "Run to the top, it's easy to defend and difficult to attack."
The people from the Killer Alliance pursued them relentlessly.
Li Yan's brows were filled with murderous intent. "You take Hua Ling and leave first. I'll cover your retreat."
Now is not the time to dawdle, Xiaowu nodded, and with a few jumps, he sent Hua Ling to the top of the mountain.
The mountain had very steep sides but a very flat top with nothing but rocks and no vegetation.
There are cliffs on three sides, and only the place where Hua Ling came up can barely find a foothold. It is indeed as Li Yan said, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Xiaowu asked Hualing to stand in the middle. "Wait here for me. Don't go to the edge, and don't watch us fight. We will be here soon."
Hua Ling nodded slightly, and Xiao Wu jumped down from the top of the mountain to deal with the assassin together with Li Yan.
Li Yan moved among the assassins like a ghost, blood splattering wherever he went, and in an instant he took the lives of six or seven people.
Xiao Wu was slightly surprised. He drew his sword and rushed towards the assassin with great momentum.
Hua Ling stood there, her body trembling slightly, and the sound of swords and knives whistling in her ears seemed to pierce her eardrums.
At the same time, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with miserable screams, like a horrific symphony, lingering in her heart.
Hua Ling's face turned pale as paper, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his lips lost their color. He thought about everyone he might have offended.
Apart from Wen Qinning, she couldn't think of anyone else who wanted to kill her.
No one knew how much money the Killer Alliance had received, but it was obvious that they had invested heavily, killing one batch and then replacing them with another.
Two fists are no match for four hands. Xiao Wu and Li Yan were injured to varying degrees and temporarily retreated to the top of the mountain.
Two people guarded one side, and the people from the Killer Alliance couldn't come up, and they couldn't go down.
Half of the men died as soon as they took action. The assassin leader changed his strategy and no longer tried to get up. Instead, he chose to stay below and wait for the people on the top of the mountain to come down.
Xiaowu's left arm was cut and blood soaked his sleeves. Hua Ling tore a piece of cloth from the hem of her skirt and bandaged him with pursed lips.
Tiny blood beads appeared on Li Yan's face, and there were slight bloodstains on his legs. He looked better than Xiao Wu.
These are what can be seen, and both of them suffered internal injuries in places that cannot be seen.
"We need to find a way to contact help." Li Yan looked around. "There's not even a blade of grass here. Waiting around is no solution. We need to make preparations early."
Xiaowu also knows this, but how can he contact them?
He asked, "Do you have any flares?"
Li Yan shook his head and asked him, "You didn't bring it either?"
Xiao Wu was helpless: "It fell during the fight. Does anyone in the mansion know we are here?"
Li Yan said: "We can't reveal the master's whereabouts."
The two of them stared at each other.
Hua Ling sighed. The wind whistled past, as if it was going to sweep her frail body away. She sighed, "Now I'm really going to have to endure the cold."
The assassins at the foot of the cliff were still gazing at us, and the assassin leader shouted, "Hand over Hua Ling, and I will spare your lives."
"How shameless!" Li Yan kicked a rock down. "You have no special abilities except your numbers. If you don't agree, come up and fight me one on one."
The killer nimbly jumped over the rocks, not being fooled. "Without water and food, I wonder how long you can hold out."
This is indeed a problem.
Hua Ling walked to the other three sides of the mountain in fear to check. The cliffs were several hundred meters high and shrouded in clouds and mist. She felt her legs go weak involuntarily at a glance and could hardly stand.
A chill ran down her spine. If she fell, she would be crushed to pieces, wouldn't she? Hua Ling quickly took a few steps back, away from the edge of danger.
"Be careful." Xiaowu held her back.
Hua Ling's face turned pale: "Will we die here?"
"No." Xiao Wu said, "I will let you live."
His gaze was so determined that Hua Ling miraculously calmed down.
The sky gradually darkened and the mountain breeze brought a chill. Hua Ling rubbed her shoulders, feeling really cold.
Xiaowu took off his coat and gave it to her, letting her lean against the leeward side of the rock.
Hua Ling had not eaten anything for almost a day and had no water intake. Climbing the mountain had consumed a lot of her water. She was tired and thirsty at this time, but she could only endure it.
The two men launched a sneak attack under the cover of night, killing several people, but were forced back to the mountain by the Killer Alliance.
"This isn't a solution. We don't know when the people from the palace will find us." Li Yan looked at the listless Hua Ling and said, "I'll go down the other side of the mountain. You wait for me."
The backside was so steep, as if it had been cut by a knife. Hua Ling bit her lip and said, "Hand me over. I'm their target."
After these words were spoken, both of their faces turned cold.
The Killer Alliance recruits extremely vicious criminals, many of whom are released from prison, as well as wanted criminals. The first requirement for joining the alliance is ten heads.
If a beautiful woman like Hua Ling fell into their hands, it would be more than just a matter of losing her life.
Xiao Wu: "Don't say that. It's only been one day. We haven't given up yet, so you have no right to give up either."
Li Yan said: "Just stay here and I will bring people to rescue you."
Hua Ling looked up at him: "But you are injured..."
"I'm fine." Li Yan avoided her eyes: "I've been to dangerous places before, believe me."
Hua Ling finally nodded.
With the help of moonlight, Li Yan carefully went down the back of the mountain and disappeared at the bottom of the cliff little by little.
Hua Ling leaned uneasily against the rock. At night, the people from the Killer Alliance tried to reach the top of the mountain, but Xiao Wu noticed it in time and repelled them.
