"Who are you people, daring to obstruct the affairs of our Liuyun Sect?"
The man in gray stared intently at the carriage with a gloomy look in his eyes, and said in a cold tone.
The man in gray was not a fool.
Although he didn't see how his arrow was deflected, there was no one else on the official road except for the carriage in front of him.
Moreover, he had clearly heard the little girl in the carriage call out "Sister Zhao".
Clearly, they knew this little bitch in front of them.
So while questioning him, he secretly made a hand gesture, signaling his men who followed to slowly move forward and surround the enemy.
Lu Qing and the others naturally noticed the gray-clad man's subtle movements, but they didn't care.
Magu immediately went to Zhao Qianlin, who had collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.
"Miss Zhao, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Zhao Qianlin's face showed both relief at surviving the ordeal and worry and anxiety. "Brave Ma, you shouldn't have saved me. These are the Flowing Cloud Sect disciples who were chasing us. If you save me, they will take their wrath upon you!"
"It's alright. You're still injured. Let me help you over there so my husband can take a look."
Magu remained calm, simply helping Zhao Qianlin up and walking straight towards the carriage.
"court death!"
The man in gray was furious when he saw that not only did the other side not respond, but they also dared to take that little bitch away right in front of him.
Without saying a word, he drew his bow again and fired an arrow, aiming it at Magu's back.
bite!
Ma Gu didn't move. He supported Zhao Qianlin with one hand, but with the other hand, he had already drawn his sword and cleaved the arrow away.
"Um?"
Seeing how easily Magu deflected his arrow, the gray-clad man's gaze sharpened.
He could sense that Magu's cultivation level was not as high as his own; he was only at the Bone and Tendon Realm.
However, his swordsmanship was quite exquisite; otherwise, he would never have been able to break through his archery so easily.
With a single slash, Ma Gu deflected the arrow, then helped Zhao Qianlin back to the carriage.
"Dr. Chen, Young Master Lu."
Zhao Qianlin felt both grateful and ashamed.
They left in the morning full of confidence, but unexpectedly, they were saved by the old doctor and his team again in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, this time, it will also implicate the old doctor and his colleagues, causing them to incur the wrath of the Liuyun Sect.
"Don't speak yet, let me check your injuries."
The old doctor stopped Zhao Qianlin from bowing in gratitude and began to examine her injuries.
After examining her, it was discovered that she had three sword wounds, one on her waist and abdomen, and another on her shoulder. Each wound was deep enough to expose the bone, indicating that the injury was quite serious.
It's truly remarkable that she managed to run this far before exhausting herself.
"Take this medicine first."
The old doctor first put a blood-replenishing pill into Zhao Qianlin's mouth.
Then he said to Xiaoyan, "Xiaoyan, help Sister Zhao inside and bandage her wound with some wound medicine."
Zhao Qianlin is a woman, so Lu Qing and the others didn't feel comfortable applying medicine to her.
Fortunately, Xiaoyan had learned a lot of medical knowledge from the senior doctor over the past two years, and she knew how to bandage simple wounds.
"knew!"
Xiao Yan responded sweetly and stepped forward to help Zhao Qianlin.
"Dr. Chen, no, you must leave quickly! These people are incredibly cruel. They killed almost half the people in the town just now. They are worse than beasts..."
Before Zhao Qianlin could finish speaking, the old doctor interrupted her: "You mean they killed half the people in the town ahead?"
Zhao Qianlin said with grief and indignation, "That's right. We went to the town this morning to buy some supplies, but we found that these Liuyun Sect disciples were causing a great disturbance in the town."
Originally, our master was going to lead us to hide, and then leave after they were gone.
Unexpectedly, these disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect, because a stall owner complained a couple of times, not only smashed the entire stall, but also killed the stall owner's whole family, and even the children.
Senior Brother Da Shi couldn't stand it any longer, so he immediately jumped out and started fighting with them.
Later, we were no match for these villains, and my master and the others were all captured. Only I managed to escape by opening a gap under my master's final desperate fight and cover.
"Old doctor, these people are demons. When they got carried away with killing, they started looting the town. Anyone who resisted was simply hacked to death. They're incredibly cruel!"
As the old doctor listened to Zhao Qianlin's tearful account, his face grew even more ashen.
Seeing this, Lu Qing knew that his master was probably really angry.
She immediately nudged her younger sister: "Xiaoyan, take your sister Zhao inside to get her wound bandaged."
Zhao Qianlin initially wanted to refuse, but after meeting Lu Qing's gaze, she somehow swallowed all her words and obediently followed Xiao Yan into the carriage.
"Sir, is what Miss Zhao just said true?"
After Zhao Qianlin entered the carriage, the old doctor looked at the gray-clad man who was slowly approaching.
"So what if it is?"
Seeing that his men had surrounded the carriage and there was no way for it to escape, the man in gray sneered.
At this point, he also realized that the carriage that had suddenly appeared only carried four or five people.
Apart from the man who had just cleaved his arrow in two, the others were not very strong.
Needless to say, the old man had no qi or blood energy at all.
Of the remaining three, one was a little girl, another was only at the initial stage of Qi and Blood Realm, and the only one with any real skill was the boy carrying the iron rod, who possessed the strength of the Tendon and Bone Realm.
Two people at the Bone and Tendon Realm, along with a few old, weak, sick, and disabled, actually dared to interfere in the affairs of their Flowing Cloud Sect.
The gray-clad man's heart was filled with murderous intent, and a cruel look appeared in his eyes.
He was already thinking about how to torture these people.
"I've heard that the Liuyun Sect is a renowned and powerful sect in Yunzhou. Why would you commit such a cruel act, not only robbing people of their money but also wiping out their entire families? Don't you think that's going too far?" the old doctor said in a deep voice.
"Why should I, the Flowing Cloud Sect, need to explain my actions to others?" the gray-robed man sneered repeatedly.
"Old man, since you know the name of our Flowing Cloud Sect, you still dare to obstruct our business. I think you're really tired of living! Men, seize them! Don't kill them yet, I want to torture them properly before killing them!"
"Yes, Elder!"
Upon hearing this, the Liuyun Sect disciples who had followed all revealed cruel smiles, grabbed their weapons, and rushed towards the carriage.
"court death!"
Upon seeing this, Ma Gu's eyes widened, his battle sword was drawn, his blood and qi erupted, and he took a step forward, unleashing a sweeping slash that cut across the battlefield.
boom!
With Magu unleashing his full power, this strike was extremely fierce, instantly forcing all the Liuyun Sect disciples who had launched a combined attack to retreat.
Having forced back more than a dozen people with a single strike, Ma Gu felt a surge of pride and took another step forward, unleashing another slash.
With this strike, he aimed directly at one of the retreating disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect, slashing down from above with the force of splitting a mountain.
The ferocity of the blade terrified the Flowing Cloud Sect disciple. In his panic, he only had time to raise his weapon before his body trembled violently, he coughed up blood, and was cleaved away by Ma Gulian and his blade.
With a single strike, Magu dispatched his opponent without pausing.
His body shot out, heading straight for the remaining Flowing Cloud Sect disciples.
He was going to fight against more than a dozen disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect all by himself.
This scene not only thrilled Wei Zian, but also left Zhao Qianlin, who had peeked out from behind the carriage curtain upon hearing the commotion outside, speechless with astonishment.
