Moonless night, wind high
The moon shines brightly on the barren wilderness outside the city, as wheels roll on, trundling over the little paths in the woods.
In a prison carriage, three female prisoners were being held, and these three women were none other than the Liubuxin Three who had been taken away from the prison by force.
Outside the prison cart, two men were riding horses, and one was driving.
"Leader, if we walk so slowly, will the guards catch up to us?"
The black-clad rider on the left rode the horse with a serious look on his face and suspiciously scanned around.
The black-clothed man driving the carriage loosely gripped the reins, leaning back against the prisoner cart, his expression languid. "Don't worry. The current jailbreak is top secret, and no one is aware of it. Furthermore, we have our masterful warriors holding the fort in the prison cells. No message will be sent out, and as long as the Town Security Force doesn't show up, we've got all the time in the world... Long night ahead, by the time Town Security Force figures something out, we'll already be at our new stronghold."
As for the captain who was deceived, he is quite capable, but by the time he realizes something is off and prepares to turn back, our master will have already dealt with the guards in the cells. It's a perfect opportunity to take care of him on the way.
...
The meticulous plan made Liubuxin and the girl shiver with fear.
"Will they come to save you... It seems that even if the young master keeps his word, it won't make a difference. We're as good as caught in their grip."
The girl looked up at the moon, which was very bright, but in her eyes, there was only the surrounding darkness.
Liubuxin held her knees, not saying a word. From the start, she didn't believe Chen Mo would come to save her. No hope, no disappointment.
Only, the smile of that young man under the sunlight today was one she could not forget.
"Brother, will they come to save us?"
The little bean, cowering in the corner, muttered to herself, repeatedly saying this phrase while in prison.
The girl grew weary of hearing the little bean's constant muttering. She gently slapped the bean's forehead with a palm, "Shut up, he won't come. Even if he does, what can a young master who can't even tie his own chicken feathers do?"
"But, they have already come."
The little bean's dull eyes slightly lifted, looking at the thick forest in the distance.
"How do you know they've come?"
"Yes, it's because Chongchong told me."
The little bean pointed to his chest, looking serious.
"Yes, him?"
At this moment, Liubuxin's heterochromatic eyes slightly shook, and she also looked at the distant thick forest with the little bean's gaze.
Whoosh
An arrow was shot out of the dense forest without warning, striking the black-cloaked man on horseback on the side instantly. The arrow was so powerful that it pierced through the man's arm, infused with spiritual energy, and firmly nailed him to the bars of the prisoner cart.
"What's going on?"
The black-clothed man driving the carriage tightened his expression, with no time to think, he flipped off the prisoner cart. The other black-clothed man on horseback also flipped off his horse and took cover behind the prisoner cart, staying alert.
"Aaah, leader, save me, save me!"
The black-clothed man nailed to the prisoner cart let out a desperate cry for help, before even finishing his plea, two more arrows flew towards him. One embedded in his shoulder, and the other in his thigh.
Both arrows were infused with spiritual energy, and the extreme pain instantly rendered the man unconscious.
"Da Shan, start attacking."
The leader coldly roared, drew his short knife from his waist, and prepared to strike.
Da Shan drew his long knife from his waist, flipped into the air, and swung a mighty blade. A dazzling blade aura crossed tens of meters, splitting the dense forest in two and forcing the archer to reveal himself.
"Is it him?"
The leader was instantly alarmed. Under the moonlight, he clearly saw the man's appearance and realized that it was none other than Zhao Hu, the one who had been deceived and taken away earlier.
Zhao Hu stepped back a few steps, nocked an arrow on his bow, and released another arrow.
"Damn it, if you touch my subordinates, I'll tear off your skin!"
The leader flipped up and slashed at the incoming arrow, then with a powerful kick against the ground, he leaped forward like a cheetah. In just a few breaths, he was already in front of Zhao Hu.
"Come and fight!"
Although archery is advantageous in long-distance battles, it becomes a disadvantage in close combat, especially for martial artists. Zhao Hu decided to throw away his arrows and drew his sword, engaging in a fierce duel with the leader.
Da Shan raised his eyebrow, grabbed his long knife, and was about to go and help when a young man emerged from the side, wielding a peach-wood sword, slashing towards him.
"Another ally?"
Da Shan's face darkened, and he delivered three powerful strikes with his long knife, pushing Zhuang Long back.
"This is an 8th-level martial artist; I'm not his match..."
Zhuang Long immediately assessed the opponent's strength and knew he couldn't hold his ground, so after striking out with his sword, he turned and fled in the direction of the distance.
Da Shan, seeing this, chased after him vigorously.
The sudden battle made the three women, Liubuxin and the others, feel somewhat tense. However, as the battle dragged on, they noticed that there was no one else around. This was a good opportunity to escape.
However, the thick wooden gate was like iron columns. The three of them, as weak women, no matter how hard they tried, could not budge it by an inch.
Unsolvable
They still couldn't escape the cage that held them captive.
And at this moment, their actions had already woken up the black-clothed man who had just fainted.
"Still unable to escape?"
Liubuxin despondently stared at the awakened black-clothed man. The faint hope that had been kindled had been extinguished in an instant.
It seems like she will never be able to have freedom in her whole life...
Tap-tap——
The sound of horse hooves galloping suddenly approached. Just when the three women had given up hope, a person on horseback had already arrived at the prisoner cart. The moonlight shone on the silent forest, casting a silhouette of the young man riding the horse.
Though he lacked the handsome features of An Zi or Yu Yan, in the eyes of the three women at this moment, the young man seemed like a divine immortal descended from heaven.
Liubuxin stared at the unfamiliar yet familiar face in front of her, and suddenly, her heterochromatic eyes, which were once empty and lifeless, regained their luster.
The world of grey dimness in her eyes dispelled, and the young man who always appeared in the light seemed to fill her world with colors.
Dong-dong-dong
Liubuxin only felt a heavy oppression in her chest, as if something named but unknown had sprouted from her heart. The beating sound of it was like a drum, as if it could resound throughout the land.
The hooves of the horse stepped on the legs of the black-clothed man, eliciting a piercing scream of agony that interrupted Liubuxin's reverie.
"I said, I would come to save you."
Chen Mo smiled faintly, his brilliant smile, looking incredibly handsome under the moonlight.
Of course, with the help of a filter, he could not help but be stunning. After all, he appeared like a prince charming, how could he not be handsome?
Dismounting from the horse, Chen Mo picked up the black-clothed man's sword, and while the man was still screaming in pain from being trampled by the horse's hooves, Chen Mo swung a blade at the gate, but it didn't break.
Hmm... his strength is still too weak for someone who isn't a martial artist.
However, Chen Mo's physical strength is not too bad. Having been bullied by his second brother when he was young, he started to strengthen his body, even though it couldn't compare to a martial artist, he was still stronger than ordinary people.
Three consecutive blows later, the gate was split open.
"Quickly come out!"
Chen Mo called out, and the three women paused for a moment before quickly jumping out of the prisoner cart.
"We're in a hurry; this place is not safe to linger. We need to escape quickly... But my horse can only carry one person..."
"I can ride horses"
The girl looked at the horse in front of the cart, her face serious as she said.
"All right, you take the little girl and run first."
Chen Mo took his sword to cut the ropes on the horse's back, releasing the cart, and then turned to embrace Liubuxin onto his horse.
Looking back, she saw Chen Mo walking towards the black-clothed man who was cursing, holding his sword.
"The next scene may be somewhat violent. Children should not watch it."
