Chapter 83 Death
Luhe felt as if countless gun shadows appeared before his eyes, but he could not see Xiao Changche's shadow at all.

It was impossible to tell which gunshot was real.

Each one was so sharp and intimidating.

He immediately closed his eyes.

At this point, your eyes can be deceiving.

The man rose with the knife.

Luch flew off his horse like a spinning top, hurtling straight toward the center of the gun's shadow.

Since we can't tell the difference, let's stop trying.

One force can overcome a hundred techniques!

After closing his eyes, Lu He could clearly sense Xiao Changche's presence behind the gunshot.

After a loud bang,
The gunshot disappeared, and Luch, who had been flying straight forward, flew backward.

Behind him, a white horse galloped like a dragon, and Xiao Changche, wielding a gun, pursued him menacingly.

A whip flew over, catching Lu He around the waist and stopping him from flying backward, causing him to land back on his horse. It was Tiele who had intervened, stopping the blasted-away Lu He, and then spurred his horse forward to meet Xiao Changche.

The clanging sounds rang out incessantly, and in the blink of an eye, countless Tiele slashed out with his swords, halting the surging momentum of the spears and stopping their advance.

But Tiele felt no joy; instead, he was filled with shock.

Each time the weapons were exchanged, the sharpness of the opponent's gun would penetrate his body like pine needles, then attack his internal organs.

The tyranny of the Heavenly Emperor is indeed something that is better seen than heard, and better experienced than seen.

Lu He, a Xuan Yuan rank 8, was knocked back by a single spear thrust.

Tiele, a seventh-rank Xuan Yuan cultivator, had his arms almost completely unresponsive after being struck.

Several guards rushed forward like a tidal wave, blocking Tiele's path. These guards were far inferior to Luhe, with the highest-ranking among them being only sixth-rank. Seeing that both Luhe and Tiele were defeated in a single move, they were terrified but dared not retreat even a step, each one rushing forward for their lives.

"Your Highness, leave quickly!"

Seeing a guard who had rushed forward being sent flying into the air, blood gushing from a huge hole in his chest, Luhe slapped Tiele's horse's rump with his backhand. "We'll stop him! Go! Go!"

Without hesitation or saying a word, Tiele bent down, spurred his horse, and charged out.

Saying another word at this point would be a waste.

The spear pierced the body of a guard. With a roar, the man dropped his weapon, clasped his hands together, and tried to grab Xiao Changche's spear. However, the spear suddenly retracted, and the guard, who had grasped nothing, leaped off his horse, spread his arms wide, and flew towards Xiao Changche amidst a shower of blood.

Even if I can't beat you, I'll still splatter you with blood. As long as I can stop you, I'll be satisfied.

Xiao Changche snorted coldly, and his steed, Xiaobai, understood and took a few steps back. He raised his spear, and with a crack, the guard flying in the air was slammed into the mountainside with a muffled thud, turning into a pile of flesh.

Ruch roared and charged forward once more.

About a hundred paces behind, Geluo drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

The arrows flew like shooting stars, one after another.

There were straight shots, side shots, arrows that flew into the air and then fell back down, and arrows that flew close to the ground. In an instant, Gro had shot dozens of arrows until his quiver was empty. Only then did Gro spur his horse straight ahead, his bow in his hand being his weapon.

"Excellent archery skills!" Li Dachui praised, yet he seemed to be strolling leisurely, urging his horse forward, his Minghong Blade swirling left and right, sometimes striking down from mid-air, sometimes returning to his hand, cutting down dozens of arrows one after another.

His movements seemed slow, but every move was crystal clear to Gro. For the last arrow, he even caught it in his hand, weighed it in his hand, and then threw it to the ground.

Gro felt utterly hopeless as he watched this scene unfold.

Li Dachui's martial arts skills were even higher than he had expected.

It's even taller than Xiao Changche.

He glanced back at the battle behind him.

Fortunately, Luhe was clear-headed this time, and His Highness made a quick decision. At this time, Tiele had already rushed out of Zishi Valley, while Luhe was fighting fiercely with Xiao Changche. The other guards did not run away, but instead went past Xiao Changche and then turned back to block the road.

They will all die here today.

But as long as the Tiele can escape alive, then it will all be worth it.

"Go to hell!" Li Dachui's nonchalant voice rang in my ears.

Gritting his teeth, Groh spun his longbow around, the bow tip striking Li Dachui. At the same time, he stroked the bowstring with his right hand, and with a whoosh, a burst of energy shot out from the string.

Within a few steps, this sudden attack took Li Dachui by surprise. The Minghong Blade appeared on the side of the energy field with lightning speed, blocking the attack with a clang.

The bow tip bounced back, Gro turned to the side, bent his elbow, and with a snap, a sharp blade shot out from behind his elbow, striking Li Dachui in the chest and abdomen.

"You're quite interesting, with all sorts of tricks up your sleeve!" Amidst the laughter, Li Dachui slammed down with a punch. Gro's flying leg drooped limply, and he half-knelt on the ground. He felt a chill on his elbow as the Minghong Blade sliced ​​away flesh along with the elbow blade.

He withdrew his hand, plucked the string, and with a series of sharp cracking sounds, several bursts of energy struck again. Surprisingly, these bursts of energy were mixed with blood energy.

This kind of attack can be described as catching you off guard, making it impossible to defend against.

If Li Dachui's martial arts skills hadn't far surpassed Gro's, and someone else had come along, they would likely have suffered a crushing defeat.

Even Li Dachui abruptly withdrew his cleaver and retreated several steps, avoiding this extremely insidious attack.

Li Dachui retreated, but Gro was too weak to pursue him. He had a broken leg and was kneeling on one knee, supporting his body with his bow. His right hand hooked the strings of the zither, and he stared intently at Li Dachui, panting heavily.

The exchange was swift and decisive, lasting only a few breaths, but for Gro, it was truly an all-out effort, using every trick in the book.

But one wrong move, and he was left with no options.

However, he is far inferior to Li Dachui.

"Your kung fu is really good, and it's quite a sight to behold!" Li Dachui held Minghong upside down, glancing at Gro with some regret: "If you leave now, I won't kill you. But if you block my way again, I won't be so polite!"

Gro chuckled: "Are you trying to recruit me? Sure, let's talk things over! I have a high status in the Yuan Dynasty, what can a mere bandit like you offer me... ah..."

Amidst screams, Gro's hand had already left his body, and the bowstring in his left hand had broken. Li Dachui, having landed a blow, retreated several steps.

"Shameless!" Groh cried out in agony, his face contorted in pain.

"Surrender if you want, isn't sparing your life enough? You're even trying to negotiate!" Li Dachui sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? Can't you see you're trying to stall for time!"

"Li Dachui, what are you doing?" Xiao Changche roared from ahead. He was surrounded by Lu He and a group of guards and couldn't get away for a while. Meanwhile, Tiele had already run a mile away.

"Here I come, here I come, what are you rushing me for!" Li Dachui shouted. "In front of me, a cooked duck can't fly away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot, and Gro, who was a few steps in front of him, had dropped the iron bow with his only remaining hand. He was clutching his throat tightly, blood gushing from between his fingers, making a gurgling sound in his mouth. Finally, his body swayed and he fell to the ground.

"Here I come!" Minghong Dao left afterimages as he charged into the front lines. Seeing Li Dachui rushing over, Xiao Changche swept his spear in all directions, forcing all the enemies around him back a step. Then, he simply dragged his spear and left, completely ignoring the attacks from Lu He and the others behind him.

Li Dachui promptly filled the gap, standing before the crowd with his sword drawn, and said to Gu Luhe and the others with a smile, "Your opponent is me, and Xiao Changche's opponent is the Tiele. Come, come, I'll send you to meet the King of Hell!"

Ruch howled and pounced on him.

However, he was no match for Xiao Changche, let alone Li Dachui, whose martial arts cultivation was even higher. With one blow, he was thrown back again, but this time Tiele did not catch him, so he crashed solidly to the ground and slid more than ten feet backward.

Just as Lu He got back up, his few remaining subordinates were hacked to the ground like wooden stakes by Li Dachui, one slash from the left and one from the right.

The Tiele people galloped away on their horses without looking back.

He knew that today had become his greatest calamity.

Never before has the shadow of death loomed over him so intensely.

He reached into his pocket and took out a small box.

He flicked open the copper clasp with his thumb, and inside a clump of golden velvet, a bright green caterpillar wriggled. Without the slightest delay, he pressed his thumb against the caterpillar, and with a little force, the bright green worm turned into a clump of green sap.

Having done this, Tiele felt that all he had left to do was wait for God's judgment.

"Granny, if you don't come right now, I'm dead today!"

He prayed silently in his heart.

But he didn't know where the old woman was.

All that is known is that when he asked the nanny to be his final guarantee for this trip to the border, the nanny gave him this worm.

If your life is in danger, just crush it!

That's what the nanny said.

Tiele dared not ask any further questions, took the small box, and left.

The old woman was a person close to my mother, and very few people knew of her existence.

Even the Emperor himself didn't know what kind of person the old nanny was. He always thought that she was just an old palace maid who had married into the Qin Dynasty with his mother.

But Tiele knew how terrible the old woman was.

Tiele didn't know if Granny had come with him. Ever since she arrived at Qingtongxia with him, she had been staying in an ancient tomb in his territory. He had also designated that area as a military restricted zone, stationing an entire battalion of troops there.

The sound of rapid hoofbeats came from behind. Tiele turned around and saw a white shadow rushing towards him. Tiele pressed his hand to his heart, feeling an extreme pain in his heart.

Ruch and Gro, his subordinates and elders who watched him grow up, are all gone.

"Ah!" he roared to the sky. "Xiao Changche, I'm going to skin you alive!"

There was no response from behind, only the sound of approaching hooves.

Xiao Changche never bothered to talk to a dying man.
