My game even includes ancient times

As he attacked the man in black, he also brandished an even larger curved blade in his other hand and slashed it toward the head of the boy behind the horse.

The boy's attention had been entirely focused on the man in black. Now that he had come to his senses, it was too late to retaliate. He could only watch helplessly as the blade drew closer and closer, his eyes wide with rage.

If nothing unexpected happens, after he beheads the man in black with the knife in his left hand, the knife in his right hand will be able to strike the boy on the head, taking two lives in one move.

But then the unexpected happened.

Suddenly, the man in black who had been sitting quietly on his horse moved!

She raised her right hand, clenched her fist, and gathered her strength—

A simple, unadorned punch slammed into the black-clad man's slashing blade.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

With a crisp cracking sound, the curved knife in the black-clad man's left hand shattered into four or five pieces in mid-air, scattering all over the ground. One piece even hit the horse's neck, startling the large red horse.

He himself was thrown off balance by the terrifying force, grazed the horse's rump, and flew sideways before crashing heavily to the ground.

The four people who had followed the three teenagers in were stunned by what they saw. They slowed down and finally stopped a short distance away.

The three groups stood in silent confrontation, and the scene fell into an eerie quiet.

The green-clad man who had fallen to the ground groaned and slowly stood up, clutching his wrist.

Everyone present saw his wrist bend backward in a frightening arc, with even small bone fragments piercing his skin; it was clearly broken beyond repair.

He first took a few steps toward the four men chasing after him, then turned back and glared fiercely at He Yu, who was sitting on his horse, his hoarse voice filled with deep fear: "Who are you!"

He Yu didn't speak until then, when she slowly turned her horse to face them.

The three boys who were standing behind the horse's rump then noticed that the mysterious man in black was carrying a very beautiful child who looked even younger than them, staring at everything expressionlessly.

One of the four people who had chased after them stepped forward to support the man in green, looking at He Yu with a suspicious gaze: "What's going on? How come there's one...two more people?"

The man in green remained silent, still staring intently at He Yu: "Who exactly are you? Your internal energy is so strong..."

He Yu was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Just an unknown person. I had no intention of interfering in your feud. You attacked me first, so I retaliated casually. What's wrong with that?"

Her voice was calm and unhurried, yet it carried immense pressure to the ears of the people opposite her.

The man in green gritted his teeth, feeling the excruciating pain in his wrist and the numbness in half of his body after so long. After a moment of hesitation, he spoke in a deep voice: "There was nothing wrong with it. It was I who offended you."

He Yu calmly waved his hand lightly: "Since that's the case, aren't you leaving?"

The man in green ignored his companions' puzzled looks and forcefully pulled them out of the woods.

The surroundings quieted down, the leaves rustled, and He Yu lowered his eyes and looked around at the three disheveled teenagers.

The one who had just spoken up to her was probably the leader of the three. He looked younger than the other two and was now looking at her with a shocked and wary expression.

He wore a plain red long gown with many tears and covered in dust. The material was obviously high-quality Shu brocade. His belt was inlaid with several lustrous red jades of different sizes. Even the scabbard of the sword he held in his left hand was engraved with exquisite openwork gold patterns and adorned with a few translucent rubies.

Just by looking at his outfit, He Yu knew that this young man was no ordinary person.

At this moment, he slowly retreated to stand in front of the other two, protecting them behind him. He looked up at He Yu on horseback and carefully said, "Thank you for your help, senior. I am Lu Zhuo, the closed-door disciple of the Crimson Cloud Sword Master of Hualing Sword Palace. I do not know your honorable name. Hualing will definitely repay you handsomely in the future."

Hualing Sword Palace? What a coincidence?

He Yu glanced at him in surprise, inwardly marveling.

He Shi, who had been quietly leaning against He Yu's chest, finally moved. He glanced down at Lu Zhuo and stared intently at his sword.

Although He Yu was quite interested in the Hualing Sword Palace instance, it was clear that now was not the time to explore it.

Her main task this time was to take her child on a trip, and she was in a tight schedule. If she was delayed for too long due to an accident and couldn't log off, He Yu suspected that she might just fall asleep and die.

The man in black sitting on the horse remained silent.

Lu Zhuo was anxious, but dared not say anything more, for fear of angering this mysterious person. He spread his arms slightly, holding a long sword in one hand and a scabbard in the other, protecting his two junior disciples behind him, and looked up at her.

The mysterious person stood upright and relaxed. Under an ordinary bamboo conical hat, a black veil completely concealed her head and neck, making it clear from her figure that she was a woman. Judging from her voice just now, she was probably not very old, at most in her twenties...

Just then, a calm voice finally came from behind the gauze curtain that was swaying slightly in the wind: "I am an anonymous person. Saving you was just a favor. There is no need to thank me."

Lu Zhuo was taken aback: "Senior, this..."

He was about to speak when he saw the nameless senior lightly pull the reins, turn the vehicle around, and gallop towards the exit of the woods ahead. His soft, melodious voice, mingled with the rustling of leaves, echoed through the forest.

"Young friend Lu, the journey through the martial world is long, may we meet again someday."

The moment she turned around, the veil covering her face lifted slightly, and Lu Zhuo saw from below a long, fair neck and a small piece of black, intricately carved mask. The skin revealed beneath the mask was shockingly white.

This senior is a very young woman.

So young, yet possessing such unfathomable inner strength and a return to the essence of martial arts. Lu Zhuo's expression was solemn. When did such a figure appear in the martial arts world?

……

He Yu naturally didn't know any martial arts or internal energy. The reason she was able to shatter the green-clad man's knife with a single punch was because she used the [Hercules Talisman].

He Yu once categorized this task reward as a fantasy item, but judging from the effect just now, this categorization doesn't seem wrong.

【'Hercules Talisman': Increases the user's strength by a hundredfold and grants invulnerability. Remaining time: 2 minutes 55 seconds (3 minutes)】

[Buyback Price: 100 Silver]

This was the result He Yu determined in the brief moment before the man in green made his move.

When she saw the attribute, her heart immediately felt half relieved. Then, when Lu Zhuo and the other two appeared, He Yu knew why the man in green was in the woods and was hiding in a tree by the path.

He was lying in ambush on the three boys, but he just happened to stumble in halfway and almost ruined their plan.

However, in the end, it seems that it was still ruined.

But He Yu was still very happy. Who told that person to immediately reveal their red name and try to kill him, an innocent bystander, without saying a word? If He Shi were to get hurt as well…

Haha, serves him right for losing his hand.
