As soon as she finished speaking, several arrows were seen shooting towards Xiaobai from the depths of the dense forest.
A man in a gray robe and a mask on his face flew to the side of Concubine Xiao and pulled up the frightened Concubine Xiao.
"You're here." Concubine Xiao threw her head into He Jinghe's chest and cried, "I thought I was going to be eaten by these two tigers."
He Jinghe frowned, looking at the two white tigers in front of him, especially the tallest one. Why did it look a bit like the one that Shang Ruoyi raised in exile?
The two white tigers were nimble and were not afraid of the rain of arrows. They nimbly dodged all the arrows without sustaining any injuries.
"These two tigers seem to have received some special training." Concubine Xiao said fearfully, "I have never seen tigers this big before."
He Jinghe's eyes dimmed. Not only had she never seen it before, even he himself had never seen it before.
The ferocity in the eyes of the two white tigers grew even stronger. Xiaobai's gaze fell on He Jinghe, and his nose twitched. He had smelled this man's scent before.
Animals have an extremely keen sense of smell, especially animals like Xiaobai, who grew up nourished by the energy of space and already have some intelligence. Even people he met a few years ago, he can remember them clearly.
He Jinghe waved his arm, and several men in black rushed out of the dense forest and surrounded the two white tigers.
"Damned beasts." Seeing so many people around, Concubine Xiao regained some of her momentum, no longer looking like she was nearly frightened to death just now: "Skin and pull out the tendons of these two beasts for you, Your Highness! Remember, you must have two complete tiger skins. Your Highness should put one on the bed and the other on the chair."
"yes!"
Just as the men in black were about to rush forward with their swords brandished, Xiaobai's body moved. She waved her huge tiger claws and pounced towards the man in black who was closest to her.
No one expected that these two tigers would attack first, and coupled with their extremely fast speed, before anyone could react, a huge white shadow had already appeared in front of them. One of the men in black was caught off guard and was directly pressed on the chest by Xiaobai.
His chest collapsed visibly, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood. He died instantly.
hiss!
Isn’t the power of this tiger a little too terrifying?
A few drops of blood sprayed on Xiaobai's fur, making it look even more attractive.
Even He Jinghe couldn't help feeling a little frightened.
"Come on, kill these two beasts!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several arrows flew towards him with the sound of breaking through the air.
Those arrows were so powerful that some of them were shot on the ground with their entire bodies embedded in the ground.
This familiar scene shocked He Jinghe.
Back then, in the dense forest of the exile land, those strange arrows were all buried in the ground like this.
Before he could think about it, the people sent by Shang Ruoyi surrounded them.
He Jinghe narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Who are you?"
How could the Suzaku members answer his question? Everyone had a cold face and was silent.
He Jinghe looked at them, then at the two white tigers: "Are you the owners of these two beasts?"
The only answer he got was still silence.
Since coming here, he has never been ignored like this.
However, the identity of the person in front of him was unknown, so he did not dare to act rashly. After all, the power behind him was obvious as he could tame such a mighty white tiger.
At this moment, a crisp sound of snapping fingers was heard not far away. They quickly raised the swords in their hands, with murderous intent in their eyes, and rushed towards He Jing and several others.
Seeing this, He Jinghe quickly drew out his sword and fought with them.
He was not proficient in martial arts and had not made much progress in recent days. He was no match for the Suzaku members in a head-on fight.
You know, the members of Suzaku were carefully selected from the Iron Feather Guards and were selected after going through various tests. They are masters among masters who strive for excellence.
After a few rounds, He Jinghe was clearly at a disadvantage.
He was not careful and was kicked in the left shoulder. His body flew backwards and hit a big tree behind him.
Upon seeing this, the Suzaku member thrust out with the sword in his hand, and was about to reach He Jinghe's throat. At this moment, a silver-grey dart suddenly appeared, and with a "ding" sound, it deflected the sword in his hand. The vibration from the sword made his palm slightly numb.
"Who?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman in a white robe and a veil on her face descended from the sky.
"You scoundrels." The woman said in a cold voice. She drew a soft sword from her waist and swept it towards the guards.
Her movements were strange and bizarre, and after several exchanges, the Suzaku members were surprised to find that the martial arts used by this woman were somewhat similar to those of their master. Could she be a fellow sister of their master?
Once this idea entered their minds, the moves they made became much more limited. They only dared to defend and not attack.
"Who is this?" Concubine Xiao asked softly, "His martial arts skills are so strong that he can block these bastards with just one hand."
"This is the sect's great guardian." He Jinghe said in a low voice, "She rarely goes out on weekdays. Since her last retreat, she has been coming in and out frequently. I don't know why she came here today."
"Thanks to her coming, otherwise you two would be in great danger today." Concubine Xiao's eyes fell on the two white tigers: "We must not let these two beasts go today." Such fine fur was the best she had ever seen.
The woman's methods became more and more fierce, and every move was intended to take someone's life. She seized the opportunity and stabbed a man's arm with a sword. The injured area quickly turned black. Upon seeing this, the Suzaku members hurriedly took out the medicine and antidote that Shang Ruoyi had given them, and only then were they able to control the situation.
Seeing that her poison was so easily neutralized, the woman frowned and asked, "Where did the medicine in your hand come from?"
"What does it have to do with you?"
“You are so stubborn. In that case, don’t blame me for being rude!” She swung the sword in her hand, and her body flew into the air, attacking the people below at an extremely fast speed. Everyone could only see an afterimage, and there was no time for them to react. The sword was already within reach.
The woman's lips curled up slightly, revealing a bloodthirsty smile.
“Go to hell!” As he said that, the long sword was about to cut the neck of one of them.
At this moment, a figure appeared out of nowhere, pinched the tip of the sword with two fingers, twisted it hard, and the soft sword instantly deformed. The woman didn't expect that anyone could take her move, and she was stunned for a moment.
Shang Ruoyi frowned and continued to exert force with her hands.
With a crisp "crack", the soft sword was broken by her.
