Chapter 1517: Chapter 675: Da Liang
Fortunately, Ding Hui has been preoccupied with Song Xi’s recovery lately and has rarely cared for the team’s affairs.
In recent days,
when the team moved, Ding Hui would study in the carriage.
When the team rested, Ding Hui would study in the tent.
As always, she was so focused and working tirelessly, to the point where Fang Yu had to remind her to rest.
Fortunately, in such a state, Ding Hui usually makes good progress in her research, and who knows, maybe one day she might actually conjure up a ’Flesh Monster Mother.’
Song Zhenrong doesn’t know much about Ding Hui, but seeing her dedication to Song Xi, he is very grateful and even more respectful of her.
As for troubling Ding Hui with this matter...
Fang Yu thought for a moment.
Given Ding Hui’s personality, if she encountered such an issue.
She might come up with a plan to lure the demons over, put on a show letting the demon eat its way to the core of the team, reach the merchant’s doorstep, and in front of other merchants, offer a few merchants to the demons, then retaliate and kill them.
Then she would have complete control over the remaining terrified merchants, and do whatever she pleases, leaving no room for merchants to negotiate at the table.
Losing a fifth or even half of the people, in exchange for absolute control, Ding Hui would definitely do such a thing.
While Fang Yu was mulling over this, a commotion suddenly broke out at the front of the team.
Fang Yu and Song Zhenrong exchanged a glance and rushed forward together.
...
"Help! Help!"
Lin Liang was desperately crying out for help, her eyelids so heavy she could barely open them, completely draining the last bit of potential from her body!
In front of her, a large group of people suddenly appeared, like an oasis in the desert. It excited her so much that her entire body trembled.
Summoning unexpected strength, she forced herself onward, running desperately forward.
And behind her, the ones chasing to kill her were a dozen or so individuals in similar black attire!
Clad in black, with a silver mask engraved with golden plum blossoms, exuding a silent and murderous cold aura.
Even from a distance, you could feel the icy killing intent of this group.
"Don’t come near! Don’t come near!"
"The calamity triggered by her actions is unforgivable! Brothers, we have nothing to do with her! Please handle this matter yourselves and spare us!"
As if seeing a plague god, upon discovering Lin Liang charging in this direction, the team members scattered like loose sand, retreating to both sides to make way.
But it was already too late.
Because only the people at the very front of the team noticed what was happening. Those at the back hadn’t received any feedback yet, and Lin Liang was about to crash into the ranks of the main group!
"..."
Faced with life and death, she stayed silent, disappearing into the crowd, entirely intending to use them as scapegoats, as shields!
Her already formidable skill allowed her to weave through the masses, causing the black-clad pursuers to lose track of her.
But the black-clad figures didn’t halt their pursuit, crashing directly into the chaotic horde.
What followed was... a massacre!
The big ring saber was drawn from the waist, slicing the refugee before him cleanly in half!
Like a giant axe tearing through a thin layer of paper, it effortlessly split the human body apart, granting an unobstructed view.
In the face of absolute power disparity, those untrained in martial arts are as fragile as paper before such monsters!
Drenched in blood, the eyes of the black-clad figures moved swiftly, scanning the chaotic crowd of refugees for a particular silhouette.
But it had become quite challenging since Lin Liang, petite as she already was, crouched and mingled among the crowd, making her hard to spot.
Nonetheless, the leading black-clad figure’s actions had set a precedent.
When the subsequent black-clad figures stormed into the crowd, they all acted with swift and lethal blows, claiming the lives of dozens on the spot.
These black-clad figures, like a sharp knife, thrust directly into the team, mercilessly killing anyone who obstructed them.
The crowd panicked and fled, the casualty numbers skyrocketing, while the instigator remained silent, even contemplating going deeper, seeking the protection of potential strong individuals within the group.
Everyone knew no one else; everyone was a stranger.
For survival, Lin Liang would stop at nothing! Moreover, she did not find it shameful.
"Anyone else in my position would have done the same! What’s wrong with that!"
The continuous screams behind her, the sound of bodies being sliced in half, all fell on deaf ears!
Deeper, deeper, deeper!
She refused to believe it.
In such a large group, amongst so many refugees, there must be someone strong to protect them?
How else could these refugees have made it this far!
With such a massive number, in the wilderness, let alone walking for a day, even half a day’s journey could see them fall prey to demons, dying out cleanly on the spot.
The weak hold no value before demons; no matter how many you pile up, they are just food on a plate.
Therefore, there must be someone strong in the team to support such a large number of people marching on the official road!
Lin Liang was convinced of this, which was why she chose to charge directly into the crowd.
Protection! Protection! Protection! Strong one, protect me quickly!!
Lin Liang roared in her heart, and it seemed her plea was heard by heaven.
A series of furious shouts suddenly erupted from the front!
"Stop it at once!!!"
Shouting loudly does not guarantee others will halt.
But undoubtedly, in a flock of sheep that doesn’t resist, an individual suddenly emerging, sharp and oppositional, certainly merits their attention.
