The bandits led by Xu Wu saw this and their faces changed dramatically.
Although they guessed that the opponent had a hidden weapon that could kill a person instantly, indicating that he was a skilled expert, Xu Wu couldn’t retreat in front of his subordinates and lose his prestige.
So he stood at the forefront, fiercely shouting in the direction of the incoming hidden weapon, “Who si it? Who dares to ambush us of Huiyun Gang? If you have the ability, come out and fight fair and square!”
However, the response he received was still several sharp hidden weapons!
Xu Wu raised his big sword, skillfully gripping it in his hand and swiftly rotating it, knocking down each hidden weapon that came at him. He angrily said, “Hmph, you sneaky little cowards, disregarding martial ethics!”
Lu Lili saw that several bandits closest to her had died, and no one was chasing her anymore, so she took the opportunity to run towards a safe direction.
A sharp-eyed young bandit, in order to show off his intelligence and wit in front of the Second Master, took it upon himself to chase after Lu Lili.
However, just as he had taken a few steps, another hidden weapon flew and hit him between the eyebrows. A few seconds later, he fell to the ground in disbelief.
Ah, he just wanted to show off a little…
Lu Lili looked back at the bandit who had already died on the ground, and a warm feeling passed through her heart.
She thought to herself, who is this hero, with such a chivalrous and righteous heart, drawing his sword to help others in times of injustice?
Later, she should properly thank him!
At this moment, a black figure leaped over her head and landed without pausing, immediately engaging in a fight with Xu Wu, who held a large knife.
Experts exchanged moves, each one deadly!
Amidst flying sand and rocks, it didn’t take long for the winner to be determined!
The black figure landed steadily on the ground. He opened the folding fan in his hand and elegantly fanned it in front of his chest. A perfect arc formed on his crimson thin lips.
Looking down from a higher position at the person clutching his chest while lying on the ground, the black figure sneered, “Heh, the Second Master of Huiyun Gang, is this all the skill you have? It truly disappoints this Pei.”
Xu Wu wiped away the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with unwillingness as he stared at the young man in front of him, who was a decade younger than him.
He lost!
He actually lost!
He was defeated by a young brat wielding a folding fan as a weapon!
Hearing the sound of approaching horse hooves, Xu Wu, who had suffered a bitter defeat, no longer clung to his status as the Second Master.
“Retreat!”
Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, he and his subordinates quickly ran away.
Meanwhile, Lu Lili looked at the tall and straight figure standing not far away and recognized that the “hero” who had saved her was none other than Pei Yijian!
She felt a slight surprise. She didn’t expect to meet him again so soon after parting at the inn. Could this be the fate between her and him?
But…
Thinking about her current terrible image, Lu Lili didn’t want to see him!
She no longer wanted to properly thank the person who saved her; she just wanted to quietly slip away.
However, as soon as she turned around, a hand tightly holding a folding fan blocked her path.
The nonchalant voice immediately sounded behind her.
“Little Brother Lu, it’s already safe now. What are you trying to run away for?”
Pei Yi recognized her clothes and figure without a doubt, even though her hair was disheveled and her face was dirty. But that didn’t stop him from recognizing her.
Helplessly, Lu Lili closed her eyes and used the unfinished pancake in her hand to cover her entire face before speaking to the person behind her:
“Hehe, so it’s Brother Pei! Thank you earlier for saving me. I will repay you in the next life. But right now, I have something very important to do, so I’ll take my leave!”
After saying that, she lifted her foot and tried to walk away.
Unexpectedly, three horses suddenly came running towards her, stopping in front of her, blocking her way—
