Hong Xiaoduo has already been so blunt, what can Gao Chengen do? He can't very well call on a few more of his men!
He glanced at his older brother, but showed no intention of coming over.
Gao Chengen dismounted, patted his mount, and it trotted away into the distance.
The two horses not far away had stopped, but the riders on their backs had collapsed to the ground.
When those two horses went out of control, his own mount was also restless. Gao Chengen thought that if his mount hadn't been with him for so many years, it probably would have been just like those two horses.
"You're not trying to scam me on purpose, are you?" Gao Chengen asked, realizing what was going on.
Hong Xiaoduo felt that he wasn't deliberately trying to get information out of her, but rather trying to distract her before making his move.
It feels pretty good to be regarded as an opponent.
"No, that's not it at all. To tell you the truth, we were originally going to take the road through Da Lian Mountain, but we heard that you were there, so we thought it was better to avoid you than to mess with you. That's why we took a longer route. Who would have thought we'd run into each other on this road?" Hong Xiaoduo said truthfully.
Fate? Gao Chengen felt like vomiting blood upon hearing this!
"You don't use a sword?" he asked.
He admitted that the two lashes she used to cripple his third brother were very effective, but the fact that she still used a whip instead of the sword at her waist while he was using a weapon hurt his pride a bit!
Hong Xiaoduo smiled and said something that made Gao Chengen want to vomit blood: "We don't need it for now, this is enough." As she spoke, she raised the whip in her hand.
Why use a sword when you can solve something with a whip? Why make it so bloody and gory?
Ideally, she would never need to use a sword; a whip would be much better!
Gao Chengen had no idea what the woman in front of him was really thinking. He just assumed that she was so skilled in martial arts that she didn't even bother to use a sword. He had the real-life example of the Third Leader, so he thought this young woman really had the right to be arrogant.
I was really shocked. At her age, her martial arts skills had reached such a level. She must be incredibly talented!
"Um, you're the second-in-command, right? Shall we continue?" Hong Xiaoduo couldn't help but urge him on. It wasn't that she was in a hurry, but if things continued like this, she didn't know when it would end.
If we delay too long, the children will probably get anxious and worried, so let's finish this quickly!
As the second-in-command of Dalian Mountain, it's so embarrassing to be urged to take action by a young woman.
Gao Chengen knew that what was meant to be would be, and he was likely to fail today. But he had already come to this point, and his brothers from the mountains were all around him. He had no other choice.
He drew his sword from his waist with a swift motion. He couldn't remember how long it had been since the sword had been drawn, because he didn't always have to take action when he went down the mountain to work, unless he encountered a tough opponent that his men couldn't handle.
Since things had already come to this, Gao Chengen no longer held back and swung his knife to attack.
Oh my god, although Hong Xiaoduo doesn't know kung fu, she can feel that this guy is powerful. He's completely different from that third leader from before. This guy is desperately trying to take his own life!
With incredible speed and ferocity, Hong Xiaoduo spun around and nimbly dodged the attack, watching as the gleaming blade missed its target and then turned to chase after her.
Hong Xiaoduo dodged again, and as she turned her body, she raised the whip in her hand and lashed it out at the back of the second-in-command.
Ultimately lacking practical experience in this kind of sparring, she no longer cared whether she was aiming at her opponent's wrist or a specific part of their body.
When Gao Chengen realized the danger and tried to avoid it, it was too late. All he could do was adjust his breathing and tough it out.
With a muffled crack on his back, Gao Chengen staggered to his feet and felt a sharp, burning pain in his internal organs. Something surged up into his throat and filled his mouth. He tried to grit his teeth and hold back the burning, metallic taste, but in the end, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You, you..." Gao Chengen struggled to raise the knife in his hand, pointing it at the person in front of him, but he didn't know what he wanted to express. Was it anger? Or resentment?
Hong Xiaoduo was a little nervous, wondering if she could really handle the person in front of her. Then she saw the second-in-command sway, then fall to the ground, twitch a few times, and then lie still.
Ou Hao? It's done! Hong Xiaoduo was so excited she almost jumped up.
But the next moment, her smile vanished as the bandits around her began to swarm her.
Don't panic. What was the original plan again? To catch the thief, catch the king first. Right, Hong Xiaoduo quickly found the mountain king among the surrounding bandits. She remembered that he was wearing a tiger skin hat and a tiger skin robe. He was too easy to identify and find.
Then he forcefully threw the pebble in his hand towards the opponent's heart, and then, taking advantage of the distance, he continuously fired the pebble in his hand.
Screams and wails filled the air as the bandits fell from their horses and collapsed one after another.
"Oh no! The king has been killed!" someone shouted.
Hong Xiaoduo heard this clearly and felt relieved. She had crippled the third brother, and the second brother was lying on the ground without responding, so she didn't know if he was dead or alive. Now their own people were shouting that the king had been killed. Did that mean he was dead? She hadn't seen it with her own eyes, so she couldn't be sure.
Perhaps these bandits were too flustered to see clearly and mistook the seriously injured for dead.
Never mind, they only have three leaders anyway, and whether they're dead or alive, they've already lost their fighting ability. The other bandits, without their leader, started to panic, and the more chaotic the better.
This way, she could take advantage of the chaos to eliminate as many bandits as possible, since she wasn't confident that she could take care of all the bandits here by herself.
She also noticed that ever since someone shouted that the king had been killed, the bandits who had surrounded her but hadn't yet been attacked started to panic, and some even turned to run away.
How can this be allowed? She counted three people and gave them a chance to leave.
So the speed at which stones were thrown increased, regardless of whether they were aimed at her or running away, and people screamed and fell to the ground one after another.
All she knew was that if she could cripple one more person now, there would be one less robber on the road, and one less scourge in the world.
After throwing away the handful of pebbles, he immediately grabbed another large handful.
Finally, there was no one else standing around except her for the time being.
What should she do next? She was a little worried. Check on the fallen bandits? Were they dead or alive? What good would that do? Could she possibly take up a sword and kill the living ones?
Just as I was worrying, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar.
Hong Xiaoduo quickly picked up another handful of pebbles...
