Looking at the bamboo tube-shaped flare in his palm, An Ruoxi knew that this was Shao Bing's plan. Their main purpose was to stop the inexplicable group of people and give her more time to escape. Because I was afraid that she would have concerns, I deliberately asked her to take the flare to a high place and set it off.
Hearing the shouts behind her, An Ruoxi turned around and saw dozens of people chasing her. In desperation, An Ruoxi hurriedly turned around and continued running up the mountain, but heard a muffled sound behind her, followed by several screams.
At first glance, it turned out that Shao Bing was already stopping those people. An Ruoxi continued to take steps while praying in her heart.
He hadn't gone far when he heard Shao Bing yelling, then turned around and saw Shao Bing glowing with a light red light, with another layer of white light surrounding the light red light. Immediately afterwards, I saw him push out a palm towards the crowd, and the light all over his body seemed to be alive, and instantly condensed into a large pale red handprint surrounded by white. It was shot directly towards the crowd with a strong wind. In an instant, it was like daylight. Dust and smoke are everywhere.
When the light in the sky disappeared, there were more than a dozen people lying on the ground where the palm prints had fallen, and a few of them who were not dead or unconscious were also twitching. The torches they held before were also scattered everywhere. If the flammable weeds and dead trees nearby had not been cleared away long ago, it is estimated that a wildfire would have started by now.
Seeing Shao Bing also collapse from exhaustion, An Ruoxi felt guilty in her heart. When those people and Yao Kai and others who were protecting Shao Bing were at war with each other, An Ruoxi looked at the signal bomb in her hand and murmured:
"Can a signal flare really summon reinforcements in this deep mountain and old forest?"
Looking at the sky meaningfully, she still pulled the fuse of the mechanism.
With a long cry, a meteor shot into the night sky!
…
"Flag flares? So you are protecting that woman so that she can send out flares?"
Seeing that Dong Renyi was a little surprised, Yao Kai had an idea in his mind. He did not rush to answer, but after some quick calculation, he decided to delay for a while. After all, miracles are often reserved for those who are prepared.
"So what? The Mu family's signal bomb will not only notify the Mu family, but also people from the City Lord's Mansion will follow. If you are afraid, you should leave as soon as possible."
"It's a joke, when have our two families ever been afraid of the Mu family?" Xue Dashan looked disgusted and angry. "It's useless to struggle in vain. I will use your heads to pay homage to the souls of my Xue family's herb collection team!"
"Wait a moment!"
Xue Dashan did not expect that although Yao Kai shouted, he had no intention of taking action.
"What, are you going to beg for mercy? You were very bloody just now, but now you think of begging for mercy. It's too late!"
"If I beg for mercy, will you agree?"
Everyone didn't expect that Yao Kai, who was so tough just now, would say such a thing, and they were all stunned. But after an instant reaction, Xue Dashan refused directly.
"You think beautifully!"
"That's right." Yao Kai quickly answered, "I'm not asking for mercy, but it's just that it won't do you any good if I die like this!"
"Stop blabbering and accept death!"
"Don't you want to know the reason for the white light just emitted?"
"Wait!" This time it was Dong Renyi who stopped Xue Dashan.
"Old Dong?"
Seeing Xue Dashan's surprised look, Dong Renyi immediately leaned into his ear and said something unknown.
"Let you live for a moment longer. Tell me, what is that white light?"
Facing Xue Dashan's questioning, Yao Kai secretly thought: They were indeed attracted by the white light emitted by the strange beast.
"What are you waiting for? Tell me!"
Yao Kai felt much more relaxed at this time and said calmly: "I can tell you, but there is something I am very curious about. If you can make it clear to me, I will tell you the reason why the white light was emitted just now."
"Excessive!"
Dong Renyi stopped Xue Dashan again, looked at Yao Kai and said, "Tell me about it!"
"It's easy to say. My team and I did go into the mountains to collect herbs. Although we were traveling with Captain Mujia Shao, we are not from Muyang City."
"I know this. There are indeed no faces like you in the Mu family."
"Although we are not from Muyang City, we also know that although the Mu family, the Xue family, and the Dong family among the three major families in Muyang City are at odds, they will not fight each other as soon as they meet. But as for the situation just now, It seems that you were aggressive as soon as you came up, and you ended up like this without even talking about it. I want to know, why is this?"
Dong Renyi and Xue Dashan looked at each other but did not answer.
"It seems that your trip to the mountains this time is not as simple as collecting medicine. Okay, I admit defeat. I hope you can let my brothers go. If you agree, I will tell you!"
"Captain, we are willing to live and die with you!"
"Yes, Captain, you will die no matter what, fight them!"
"Shut up!..." Hearing the voices of his teammates, Yao Kai scolded, and these men who had been indomitable in the battle lowered their heads.
"Okay, I can promise to keep them alive, can we say it now?"
Regarding Dong Renyi's question, Yao Kai said calmly: "Have you already guessed what the white light is?"
"Now that you know it, tell me quickly and I can make your death a little easier!"
"Old Xue...!" Dong Renyi quickly interrupted Xue Dashan.
Yao Kai naturally saw Dong Renyi wink at Xue Dashan, sneered, and said deliberately: "Captain Xue, I thought I couldn't hold my breath anymore, but I didn't expect that you, a dignified fourth-grade martial artist, would be so impulsive. , I really don’t know where your cultivation level comes from?”
"Bastard! You want to die, right? I'll make it happen for you!"
"Old Xue!" Dong Renyi was speechless and warned Yao Kai: "If you want to delay time, your goal will not be achieved. If you want to expect that signal flare to recruit reinforcements for you, I advise you not to think so. From Luoxia Villa to here, there are sentinels we have left along the road. If someone really enters the mountain, we will know about it in a moment!"
"Captain Dong is really good at it! Okay, since you think I'm stalling for time, let's do it. Brothers like me won't blame me."
"Captain, we are willing to live and die with you!"
"Yes, if your head falls off, it's just a scar as big as a bowl. What's the big deal!"
"Yes, it doesn't matter if you have a large number of people, it doesn't matter if you are a fourth-grade martial artist, just do it, no matter what, you will die!"
…
Listening to the angry and passionate words of these people, Yao Kai felt more at ease. "How about it, do you think the fish will die and the net will break up, or everyone will get what they need?"
"Arrogant!" Xue Dashan roared, and before Dong Renyi could stop him, he swung his knife towards Yao Kai with murderous intent.
At this time, Yao Kai did not have a weapon in his hand, so it was impossible for him to take it with his bare hands. He could dodge, but his opponent behind him must have been too late to dodge. In desperation, he could only use all his inner strength to concentrate on his arms to prepare for a hard catch.
Seeing that Xue Dashan's knife was about to hit Yao Kai's arm, he did not expect that at the critical moment, Shao Bing, who was unconscious behind the crowd, appeared, and his saber appeared on Yao Kai's arm the next moment.
There was a sound of metal collision, and the two internal forces collided and spread in all directions. People who were close to him were directly implicated, and they instantly fell over.
Yao Kai's arms were blocked by Shao Bing's sword. Although they were not cut off, Xue Dashan's hard chop made his arms numb and he lost consciousness in an instant. And at the same time, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person took several steps back. If it weren't for the support of his teammates behind him, he would have flown backwards.
"Xue Dashan, don't bully others too much!" Shao Bing suppressed his weakness and glared at the person opposite.
"Hmph, you dare to play tricks on us and you are seeking your own death! This is not Muyang City. Without the protection of the city lord's palace, your Mu family is nothing. In this world, the strong are respected, so what if I bully you?"
"You...!" Although Shao Bing was unwilling to do so, he was no match for others, so he could only swallow his anger.
"A strong man is respected!"
Suddenly, a strong and powerful voice echoed through the valley, if it was close, if it was far, it seemed far but not far, it stretched endlessly.
