Chapter 26 Success
But Qin Lie's face was ashen, and he did not pause in the slightest when swinging his iron-clad cudgel. When the spear came flying at him, he only slightly turned his body so that the protruding spear blade grazed his shoulder and spine.
The tiger cavalry's armor was torn in the process, and the protruding spearhead swept across with a streak of blood, but that was all. The powerful iron-clad mace, with a low whistling sound, slammed down on the warrior wielding the Sun and Moon Mace.
The Sun and Moon Mace warrior's vision went blank. Ignoring the excruciating pain in his eyes, he strained to open them and search for the enemy, only to see a shadowy figure and hear a low whistling sound.
Just as he crossed the Sun and Moon Maces to parry, Bao Tie's Whistle Cudgel came crashing down.
"bump!"
"Pfft!"
The first sound was the sound of the iron-clad long rod bending the sun and moon mace, and the second sound was a terrifying muffled thud as the sternum shattered.
The warrior wielding the Sun and Moon Mace was sent flying backward, spitting out blood. Only then did the spearman realize who had ambushed them, and he exclaimed, "Dragon Tiger Cavalry?! How did you find me? I was clearly already..."
On the other side, the warrior wielding the Goose Feather Blade had limited vision and tried to use the Chaotic Cloak Blade Technique to protect himself, but to no avail.
With the support of the Reality Vision, Fu Que was least afraid of such life-saving feints. He simply swayed slightly, dodging the net of blades like a butterfly flitting through flowers, and slashed upwards with his waist knife in a move that split mountains and explored the sea.
The warrior with the goose feather saber felt an immense force strike him; the blade was powerful and heavy, instantly cleaving through his fish-scale armor.
"Snap, plop!"
The waist knife left a huge gash in his chest and abdomen, and the shockwave from the Minghe Fist further tore the gash open. Blood mixed with dark red internal organs gushed out, and he screamed and flew backward, already dead.
From the sudden attack to the successful killing, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
With tears streaming down his face, the burly man roared as he unleashed a devastating move, Night Battle Across the Eight Directions, temporarily forcing Qin Lie and Fu Que, who were trying to press their advantage, to retreat.
He did not pursue them, nor did he send his two brothers to cover the rear as bait. Instead, he went ahead and met up with the remaining two brothers.
The three men stared intently at Qin Lie and Fu Que, who were striding forward, their faces grim and filled with grief and indignation.
"Even a cornered beast will fight."
Qin Lie felt the burning pain in his shoulder, snorted coldly, and did not continue to pursue. Instead, he slowly took out a roll of gray cloth from his pocket, bit the cloth with his mouth, and wrapped it around the cut wound, without caring about the other party's gaze.
After the initial shock and anger, the big gunman calmed down. His eyes darted around, still quite angry at Qin Lie's nonchalant behavior, and the veins on his forehead throbbed slightly with his breathing.
"It's obvious that something's wrong with you?"
Fu Que asked.
Qin Lie had seen these martial artists on the arrest warrants, but Fu Que had never seen them before.
The Real Vision doesn't have the ability to determine how much sin an opponent has accumulated, at least not now. If he wants to kill or capture the wanted criminals on the warrants to gain more sins, he still has to rely on his own observation.
The Goose Feather Blade warrior was quite strong, but he only provided Fu Que with twelve points of Sinful Cloud Ink, which was only slightly more than the average Green Gang member. To be honest, the cost-effectiveness was quite low.
"...."
The spearman's eyes flickered, and three other guards, armed with weapons, surrounded him, making it five against three, and the three guards were already exhausted.
"Here's the stuff for you, put it down..."
The burly man with the big gun opened his mouth, but Qin Lie interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.
"There's no need for such nonsense. I, Qin, have no habit of letting tigers return to the mountains, let alone a fugitive like you."
Qin Lie had finished bandaging himself up. Although he was somewhat disappointed that the other party hadn't taken the bait despite his provocation, that was all. Holding his iron-wrapped cudgel, he strode forward and headed towards the spear-wielding warrior.
"Let's pack up and get going. We still have things to do after we've dealt with you."
"A fight to the death would not benefit anyone. Although the three of us are quite exhausted, if we fight to the death, we might be able to take one of you with us on our way."
The spearman shouted, pointing his spear directly at Qin Lie who was walking towards him.
"Sir, why are you wasting your breath talking to him!"
Before Qin Lie could answer, a young voice rang out from the side.
Fu Que didn't care whether the other three guards were intimidated by the spearman's words. The black and white lines on the spearman's body were equivalent to those of the middle-aged man who used the Crane Fist.
Even if it were five against three, with Qin Lie, the Three-Striped Tiger Rider, backing them up, Fu Que wouldn't necessarily be afraid of these three weakened individuals, even without the night raid on the transaction.
The spear came straight at him, and Fu Que unleashed a burst of power in his hand, raising his waist knife to slash forward. The two weapons intertwined and tore at each other, sparks flying everywhere.
Seeing Fu Que make his move, Qin Lie and the other four guards joined the battle to surround and kill him. The other two martial artists, knowing they were doomed, were also determined to fight to the death.
Ignoring the attacks from Qin Lie and the other four guards, they focused their attacks on Fu Que alone. The reason was simple: Qin Lie and the other guards were all seasoned veterans.
Fu Que was the only young man, and like Qin Lie, he was dressed in tiger cavalry uniform. To have such combat power at such a young age shows that he has an extraordinary aptitude for martial arts.
If they could kill Fu Que before they died, it would undoubtedly reduce the Tiger Cavalry by at least one Three-Striped Tiger Cavalryman in the future, which would be comparable to the value of killing Qin Lie.
And right now, they certainly can't kill Qin Lie.
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
If the three had targeted the other three guards who were attacking them, they might have managed to injure them in a desperate counterattack, and with luck, they might have even killed them. But by targeting Fu Que, their plans were destined to fail.
The flying spear grazed Fu Que's cheek and pierced the tree trunk behind him. Blood gushed from the spearman's mouth and nose, his eyes filled with resentment and hatred. He staggered and collapsed to the ground, dying instantly.
The three martial artists' desperate counterattack inflicted two wounds on Fu Que's arm and left shoulder, but at the cost of being surrounded and killed by the guards.
You have accumulated 115 points of sin.
Tsk, 115 points of sin, not even as much as the time they double-crossed Minghe. I don't know if it's because they were ganging up on someone and that lowered their score, or if these people didn't have many sins and being wanted was for other reasons.
After dealing with the remaining three warriors, the caravan guards did not hesitate at all and began to collect the spoils of war in unison.
Qin Lie gave Fu Que a look, and the two put away their weapons, stepped over the corpse of the gray-haired giant ape, and headed towards the gray-haired giant ape's tree hole nest.
A strong aroma of alcohol, mixed with the distinctive stench of wild animals, wafted over.
The tree hole wasn't very big, but after the gray-haired giant ape hollowed out the middle of a boulder and inserted it, it became much more spacious.
Inside the tree hollow, two gray-skinned monkeys, each a foot tall, were huddled together, hugging each other. When they saw Qin Lie and Fu Que climbing into the tree trunk, they bared their teeth at them, showing off their newly grown baby teeth in a show of defiance.
