Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Men, follow and take a look.”

Wan Delong ordered the leader of the city guards to send people to follow Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng. Although he could not see clearly from the city wall, Ji Shuisheng’s back reminded him of an old friend. For peace of mind, this person had to die.

“Yes.”

The leader cupped his fists and agreed. He led a small group of people to open the city gate and chased after Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng.

Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng were riding their horses when a stern shout came from behind. “The man and woman in front should stop for inspection.”

Su Qing turned around and saw a dozen armored Wan Clan soldiers chasing after them.

Ji Shuisheng also frowned and turned around. Hatred flashed in his tiger eyes. Su Qing retracted her gaze and suggested to Ji Shuisheng,

“Kill them?”

“Alright, you go first. I’ll kill them.”

Ji Shuisheng reined in his horse and took out his father’s Luan saber. He wanted to use the blood of the Wan family army to sacrifice to his father’s spirit in heaven.

“Let’s fight together. Let’s end this quickly.”

In order not to waste any time, Su Qing rode on her horse and stood side by side with Ji Shuisheng. She looked at the approaching team expressionlessly. Her eyes were cold and ruthless, as if looking at a group of dead people.

“Alright.”

Ji Shuisheng nodded. Although he wanted to kill the Wan Family Army with his own hands, Su Qing was his future wife. They could take revenge for their father together.

The Wan Family Army was arrogant. Other than Wan Yulin, they couldn’t let anyone else in their eyes. They looked at Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng as if they were looking at a butcher. They thought the couple would be captured and beg for mercy if they made a move.

“Men, tie them up.”

The leader waved his hand at the soldiers behind him and looked coldly at Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing. He didn’t even want to do it himself.

“You go first!”

Ji Shuisheng slowly pulled out his luan saber, and a murderous aura swept across the blade. Before Ji Shuisheng finished speaking, he had already ridden his horse and charged toward the little leader.

Su Qing didn’t have a weapon in her hand. She clamped her legs around Big Black’s stomach. Big Black received its master’s order and glared at the pursuers with big eyes. Su Qing waved her whip and snatched the steel knife from the nearest soldier. She wrapped the whip around the knife, and the blade flew past the soldier’s neck with the wind.

The soldiers of the Wan Clan Army, who had been on the battlefield for many years, did not even have the chance to dodge. The three soldiers in front had their necks cut and blood splattered everywhere. Their corpses fell off their horses. The other soldiers were all shocked. What technique was this? How could she be so powerful?

Su Qing didn’t stop after killing three soldiers. She waved her whip and flew through the air with a steel knife. Some soldiers who reacted quickly took out their weapons to block, but Su Qing’s strength numbed them, sending their weapons flying.

Su Qing had killed five or six soldiers in the blink of an eye. It was as if he had entered an uninhabited land. As soon as he rode past the Wan Family Army, his head would be removed.

While Su Qing was killing in all directions, Ji Shuisheng had also taken care of the small leader. He rode a horse to block the soldier who wanted to escape and report back and cut off one of his arms with a knife. When the horse passed by, he cut off his head.

Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing cooperated well. They were like two killing gods, sending these soldiers to hell.

In just a few moments, the soldiers who had been arrogant were all killed by them.

Su Qing removed the corpse-dissolving powder and dissolved the bodies on the spot. She was too lazy even to dig a hole.

As for whether the Wan Family Army would catch up to them again, she and Ji Shuisheng did not care at all.

They rode their horses and continued to rush toward Luo City. Those who knew the way back to Jin City were the warhorses that had lost their owners. Wan Delong was still waiting to interrogate the couple, but he did not expect that none of the people he sent out would return. If the warhorses had returned, but the people had not, they were already dead.

“Bring more men and give chase.”

Wan Delong further confirmed his guess. That person must be related to Xiao Heng. He did not dare to delay and immediately ordered a large group of people to chase after him. He ran down the city and returned to the camp to pass the news to his uncle.

Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng had already guessed someone would continue chasing them. After some confusion, they retreated from the official road and took a small path. The small path they had found when they escaped from famine came in handy.

Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing rested in the Mountain God Temple at night. The last time they stayed in the Mountain God Temple was when they fled from famine. The two of them were revisiting the old place.

Ji Shuisheng felt sorry for Su Qing, who had been traveling day and night. He let her rest in the mountain temple while he went to find firewood and hunt, taking on a man’s responsibility.

Su Qing was a little tired. She leaned her head against the pillar and was about to fall asleep. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard the sound of a tree branch breaking. Su Qing immediately opened her eyes.

She stood up and walked towards the entrance of the hall. When she reached the hall entrance, the sound of light footsteps increased, accompanied by breathing. Someone had quietly surrounded the Mountain God Temple. The tiles above her head made a crisp sound. Su Qing looked up and raised her hand to whip the person who had gone up to the roof.

He was wearing the uniform of the Wan Family Army. After he landed, he immediately whistled to signal, and those outside began to shoot arrows into the house.

Su Qing flipped over and grabbed him as a shield. They were all shooting arrows at each other, which was not a waste.

“All, ah!”

Screams and the sound of weapons clashing came from outside. Su Qing jumped onto the roof and looked down. The Mountain God Temple had been surrounded. Ji Shuisheng rushed back and charged into the encirclement to kill these people.

Su Qing could tell these people were more skilled than the Wan Family soldiers they had killed before. Moreover, they had an array formation. A few people surrounded Ji Shuisheng and used the array formation to tie him up.

After seeing it clearly, Su Qing removed her bow from the system and aimed from above. She shot three arrows at once, even more, powerful than Ji Shuisheng’s double arrows.

The arrows pierced through the heads of those people with the sound of the wind. Seeing that more and more corpses were on the ground, Ji Shuisheng opened a gap and killed the people who surrounded him.

These people seemed to have come to be killed on purpose. Ji Shuisheng killed them with the Luan saber and Su Qing with the bow and arrow. More and more corpses were on the ground, and some people sent signal flares for help.

The Wan Family Army in the nearby cities would come over when they saw the signal flare. They were waiting for the reinforcements to arrive.

However, this was only their wishful thinking. Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng had a tacit understanding, and the Luan saber was extremely sharp. No weapon could withstand it, and soon, no one was left alive.

“We can’t stay here for long. Let’s go!”

Ji Shuisheng walked into the Mountain God Temple covered in blood and called for Su Qing to leave this troublesome place quickly.

“Alright, let’s go to Luo City tonight.”

Su Qing nodded. The situation was urgent, and she didn’t know what went wrong. Why were there suddenly so many Wan Family Army chasing after them?

Could Qiu Yongkang be in Jin City? He found out about Su Qing and him and reported it to the Wan Family Army for his glory and wealth?

“Alright.”

Su Qing nodded in agreement. She didn’t have time to deal with the soldiers’ corpses, so she left them for the Wan Family Army.

Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng still took the small path. Not long after they left, the Wan Family Army found the Mountain God Temple and was shocked to see the corpses lying on the ground.

Ji Shuisheng changed from the Bloody Garment and Su Qing’s disguise and rushed to Luo City. The guards in Luo City were not as exaggerated as those in Jin City. He and Su Qing followed the crowd into the city. A carriage passed by them, and the wind blew the curtain. The man in the carriage looked out and saw Su Qing leading the big black horse. He was shocked..
