Chu Jiuqing's eyes flashed coldly. These black-clad assassins obeyed Hei Wusha. To catch the thief, first catch the leader. As long as he was dealt with, these small fry would be no threat.
He leaped into the air, flying towards Hei Wusha like lightning, and began fighting with Hei Wusha, brandishing his sword.
The two kept changing their moves, occasionally flying over Chen Qingqing's head, making it impossible for her to help Chu Jiuqing.
As wave after wave of men in black fell, only to be replaced by another, she gradually grew weaker, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.
She knew that this couldn't go on for long; she had to break through the encirclement as soon as possible.
Chen Qingqing remained calm and collected, shooting down the black-clad assassins who rushed towards her with her crossbow while looking around.
Her gaze fell on a mound not far away, and her eyes immediately lit up.
If we can retreat there, we can occupy advantageous terrain and use flamethrowers to deal with these men in black, which would save us a lot of effort.
Having made up her mind, Chen Qingqing concealed herself and quickly retreated towards the hill.
While most of the assassins were focused on attacking Zhui Feng Zhui Yue, Chen Qingqing easily retreated to the hilltop and immediately fired crossbow bolts to attract the assassins' attention.
Soon, a large group of assassins in black surrounded her.
Just as Chen Qingqing was preparing the flamethrower to burn them to death, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a black-clad assassin sneaking up on Chu Jiuqing's back.
In the nick of time, without thinking, she raised her crossbow and shot an arrow at the black-clad assassin, who fell to the ground.
Turning around, the black-clad assassins surrounding her were already three steps away.
Chen Qingqing swiftly pulled out a flamethrower from her cloth bag.
The men in black quickly surrounded the mound, laughing wildly, "Where do you think you're going to run now? Today is your death day!"
Chen Qingqing sneered inwardly. Arrogant! You won't even have a chance to cry later.
With her elevated position and the added advantage of a flamethrower, Chen Qingqing suddenly felt emboldened.
She scoffed dismissively, "If you're not afraid of death, then come at me!"
Upon hearing this, the black-clad assassin's sneer deepened, and he roared, "Attack! Leave no one alive!"
Chen Qingqing pulled the trigger, and a tongue of flame shot out from the flamethrower.
Dozens of men in black were instantly engulfed in flames, writhing and struggling wildly, letting out heart-wrenching screams.
The intense heat baked the air, producing crackling and popping sounds, and the air was filled with the nauseating smell of burnt flesh...
The other men in black were utterly terrified by the sight and retreated repeatedly, fearing they would be burned to a crisp by the flames.
Hei Wusha was shocked to see his subordinates burned to a crisp by a huge flame. He stopped fighting with Chu Jiuqing and quickly launched a sneak attack on Chen Qingqing with his hidden weapon.
Chu Jiuqing's pupils contracted, and he quickly flew over to knock down the hidden weapon.
Hei Wusha seized the opportunity to escape into the dense crowd of assassins.
He shouted at the group of men in black not far away, "Archers, listen to my command! Aim at them and fire with all your might, dead or alive!"
Chu Jiuqing's face was filled with anger as he pointed his sword at Hei Wusha. "Stop being so arrogant. If you have the guts, then fight me properly. Don't always hide in the back like a coward."
"Don't try to provoke me. I, Hei Wusha, will never fall for it. Today, I'm going to outnumber you all. Once you're exhausted, I'll torture you to death bit by bit." After saying that, Hei Wusha pointed at Chen Qingqing, "And you, you little brat, I'm going to chop you into mincemeat to avenge my dead brothers!"
After saying that, he waved his hand at the archers, "Fire! I'll make sure they're all reduced to dust!"
The archers, upon receiving the order, immediately stepped forward, drew their bows, and fired a barrage of arrows at Chen Qingqing and Chu Jiuqing.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh... whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Seeing the arrows raining down from the sky, Chu Jiuqing and the others quickly drew their swords to block them.
Seeing this, Chen Qingqing was so angry she wanted to curse. She had thought she could eliminate these people with a flamethrower, but unexpectedly, they didn't act rashly and changed their tactics.
The men in black had already retreated several feet away, rendering the flamethrowers completely useless.
What do we do now?
Chu Jiuqing and his group could barely hold out for a while, but if it continued for too long, they definitely wouldn't be able to keep up.
A single misstep could turn you into a pincushion riddled with arrows.
Since these people aren't coming up, let's charge out!
Thinking of this, she quickly searched the space for something useful and unexpectedly found several large iron pots.
Great, even an iron pot can be used as a shield.
With a thought, four large iron pots appeared next to the mound of earth.
"What incredible luck! How did such a big iron pot end up here?" Chen Qingqing exclaimed, feigning surprise.
Zhui Feng and Zhu Yue were bewildered. They had just come here after fighting with the men in black, but there was no iron pot here. Where did this come from?
There was no time for careful thought; survival was of the essence. He quickly grabbed a large iron pot to shield himself from the overwhelming rain of arrows.
Ding ding ding....... Ding ding ding......
The iron pot blocked the overwhelming barrage of arrows.
With Chu Jiuqing now equipped with defensive gear, they could finally catch their breath.
Knowing that time was of the essence, Chen Qingqing hurriedly shouted, "Xiaoyu, you guys hold up the iron pots, let's rush towards them, and I'll continue to burn them to death with the flames."
"Alright, Qing girl, be careful!" Chu Jiuqing agreed and charged towards the archers.
Upon seeing the effective firing range, Chen Qingqing pulled the trigger without hesitation, and a blazing tongue of fire shot out like a raging dragon.
The archers were instantly engulfed in flames, crying out in agony.
All the men in black were terrified, frozen in place, completely at a loss.
Chen Qingqing had no intention of giving these people any more chance to live, so she continued to pull the trigger while circling around, spraying the men in black with bullets.
Wherever the flames passed, the men in black were instantly engulfed by the flames, screaming in agony.
Before long, most of them were dead or wounded, and the remaining people, seeing that the situation was not good, hurriedly fled.
How could Chu Jiuqing allow them to escape?
He leaped forward and slaughtered them all!
Seeing that his 30,000 men were almost all gone, Hei Sha's expression changed, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. He didn't want to die.
As long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood.
Since the operation has failed, we need to go back and get reinforcements.
If the Crown Prince were to send him twice as many men, he would surely be able to eliminate Chu Jiuqing.
Just then, he saw Chu Jiuqing and the others walking towards him.
Black Fiend's eyes were sinister as he sneered, "You just wait, I will tear you to pieces!" With that, he disappeared into the mountains with a few leaps.
Just as Zhui Feng Zhu Yue was about to give chase, Chu Jiuqing quickly stopped them, saying, "Don't pay any attention to him. We'll settle the score with him later!"
"If we don't get rid of this villain, we'll be in for a lot of trouble in the future," Zhui Feng said, somewhat unwilling to give up.
Chu Jiuqing glanced ahead and said, "Time is of the essence. We need to keep going and try to get back to the capital tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Zhui Feng dared not disobey and turned to find the horses...
