When Li Rong saw the man's knife slashing towards him, he frowned slightly. Then, he quickly swung his sword to block the man's knife. However, to his surprise, the moment his sword touched the man's knife, it produced a metallic clang, and Li Rong's longsword was actually sliced through by the man's knife.
At this moment, Li Rong finally understood just how terrifying the man's strength was. This guy's strength was definitely above his master's. It was already quite remarkable that he could withstand her attacks. If her strength were to break through again, then even if she couldn't defeat him, she shouldn't lose.
Thinking of this, two beams of light suddenly shot out from Li Rong's eyes.
He didn't argue with the other person anymore, but turned around and fled into the distance.
Seeing Li Rong turn and run away, a look of confusion flashed across the man's face. He didn't understand why Li Rong stopped fighting. After all, he was currently in the upper hand, so why didn't Li Rong continue fighting him?
He didn't chase after Li Rong, but immediately turned around to grab the other two people. But just as he turned around, he was startled. He realized that he seemed to be in trouble. Because, at the very moment he turned around, a sharp sword aura flew past his side.
The three people who were fighting Li Rong also retreated.
A strong sense of danger rose in their hearts, and at that moment, they all wanted to run away immediately, because at that moment, one word came to mind: escape!
At this point, the three of them stopped fighting and fled the place where they had been fighting, leaving the man with the young man.
The man glanced at the three people, a slight smile appearing on his lips, before turning his gaze to Li Rong's retreating figure, who had already escaped several hundred meters away.
"Kid, you're not leaving here alive tonight, you're going to die!" the man thought fiercely.
At this moment, Li Rong also noticed the situation over there. When he saw that the man was chasing him, he immediately sped up and ran away into the distance. At this critical moment, he didn't care about his image anymore and only wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.
"Damn it!" The man cursed as soon as he saw Li Rong escape, and then started chasing after her again.
Li Rong ran wildly until he reached a patch of overgrown weeds. At that moment, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, stopped, and leaned against a tree nearby.
"Phew! I finally shook him off. That guy was too strong, he was a monster! I was no match for him at all!" Li Rong said, patting his chest and panting.
"Finally, we've gotten rid of this troublesome enemy. It's time to reunite with Gu Sang. I wonder how she is now. Without me, relying solely on Daya, I still can't rest easy about Gu Sang's safety."
Li Rong muttered to herself, searching in the direction where Gu Sang had been.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Suddenly, a clear and pleasant voice came from behind Li Rong.
“Uh… Gu Sang!” Li Rong turned around and saw Gu Sang standing behind her. A smile immediately appeared on her face as she spoke.
"Hmm!" Gu Sang nodded, her face expressionless.
"Gu Sang, are you alright?" Li Rong asked worriedly.
"Hmm!" Gu Sang only uttered this one monosyllable, clearly unwilling to say anything more.
"Oh, it's good that nothing serious happened!" Li Rong breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Li Rong, thank you so much for helping me. I'm really grateful!" Gu Sang suddenly looked up at Li Rong and said earnestly.
“Don’t mention it, we’re all… good friends, it’s a good thing to be able to help each other! By the way, how did they capture you just now?” Li Rong asked in confusion.
Gu Sang sighed: "Actually, this is a long story..."
Gu Sang then told Li Rong about what had happened to them.
After listening to Gu Sang's story, Li Rong fell silent.
"Li Rong, what's wrong?" Seeing that Li Rong remained silent for a long time, Gu Sang couldn't help but ask.
"Gu Sang, I'm sorry, it's my fault!" At this moment, Li Rong looked at Gu Sang and said with a face full of guilt.
"What?" Gu Sang was taken aback and asked, puzzled.
"It was my fault for accidentally damaging the talisman we had earlier. I didn't know where we were, so I left you here alone. I wanted to leave as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that we would be discovered by them and that we would fall into their trap. It's all my fault, Gu Sang. Please don't blame me, okay?" Li Rong looked at Gu Sang with a face full of guilt.
"Li Rong, don't say that. This isn't your fault. It's because we were too weak. Don't say that, or I'll feel guilty!" Gu Sang said earnestly.
Upon hearing Gu Sang's words, Li Rong felt a warm current rise in her heart.
"By the way, Li Rong, what do you think we should do now?" Gu Sang suddenly remembered something and looked at Li Rong.
"Let's go find Gu Sangda first!" Li Rong said, as he was also worried about Gu Sangda.
"Yes!" Gu Sang nodded.
Li Rong and Gu Sang then headed back into the village, but as soon as they entered, they saw a group of masked men in black robes chasing after them.
“Li Rong, they are from that assassin organization. It looks like they’re trying to kill me this time!” Gu Sang said.
Upon hearing this, Li Rong's expression changed drastically. He immediately took out a tinderbox, lit it, and flames burst forth, illuminating his face.
His face suddenly turned ferocious, and his eyes turned blood red, making him look like a wounded wild beast, so terrifying that no one dared to look directly at him.
"Gu Sang Daya, they want to kill you! Don't let them catch up with you, or you'll be dead for sure!" Li Rong shouted angrily and rushed out quickly.
"Yes, Li Rong, be careful!" Gu Sang hurriedly reminded him.
At this moment, the group of assassins also saw Li Rong rush out. After seeing Li Rong's appearance, they immediately knew that Li Rong was the protector of the girl who had escaped earlier, so they all rushed towards Li Rong.
"Hmph, just in time. Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, I'll make sure you don't leave alive! Die!" Li Rong sneered, then threw a punch at the group of assassins.
