Chapitre 110

The leader urged his horse forward, took a step, and called out loudly, "Your Highness, are you in the carriage?"

Meng Tai hurriedly responded from behind Qing Yan, "Hu Xin, I am here."

Hu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and a look of joy appeared on his face. But when he turned to look at Qing Yan, his expression darkened again, and a vicious light shot from his eyes. "Witch, why don't you release my prince at once and surrender? The prince is magnanimous and may grant you a whole corpse."

Qingyan was furious. She spat and turned around, kicking Meng Tai so hard he staggered. She sneered, "Slap yourself, and I won't torture your prince. Otherwise, your prince will suffer for you." With that, she kicked him again.

In her anger, Qingyan kicked him hard. Although Meng Tai was a martial artist, he had been poisoned beforehand and was weak all over. He had also been tied up for a long time, so his blood and qi were not flowing smoothly. He was in pain all over.

The crowd outside the car was both shocked and furious. Hu Xin's face turned bright red, and she kept hurling insults at the woman, calling her a "witch."

Qingyan reversed the hilt of the knife, gripped the blade, and with a series of sharp, slapping sounds, the hilt of the knife fell heavily on Meng Tai's face. In no time, Meng Tai's originally handsome and fair face was covered with bruises, and the areas where the bruises overlapped gradually swelled up.

Hu Xin suddenly stopped talking, too frightened to look Meng Tai in the eye. Meng Tai's face was full of resentment, and his gaze seemed to want to devour him alive.

Qingyan added a few more stabs before finally stopping, smiling as she asked, "Not going to curse anymore?"

Hu Xin lowered his head and dared not answer.

Qingyan glanced at everyone, smiling, and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to curse?"

Like a wind sweeping across a field, causing all the grasses to droop, everyone lowered their heads and avoided eye contact.

"Auntie, what do you want from my prince?" A middle-aged man who seemed rather amiable stepped forward on horseback and asked.

Qingyan smiled and blinked. "Of course, I'll make sure I'm safe first. Do you really think I'd let him go first and then let you bully and kill him?"

The middle-aged man coughed lightly, "What if the young lady escapes danger but refuses to let my prince return?"

"This?" Qingyan frowned, looking troubled. "I don't know what to do either. Why don't you tell me?"

Chapter 243: Panic

“How about this, young lady? We’ll give you another horse, and drive all the other horses away. You can leave my prince behind and ride away on your own. Without horses, it’s unlikely we can catch up with you, and you can leave safely.” The middle-aged man was overjoyed and quickly offered what he considered a well-thought-out plan.

Qingyan pondered for a moment. This method, to be fair, was feasible. Although not foolproof, there was always a possibility of escape. If they chased after her again, she could then improvise. Forcing herself to keep bringing that lecherous Meng Tai along was just asking for trouble.

Just as she was about to nod in agreement, she suddenly heard a strange noise behind her. She turned around in a panic and saw the carriage behind her being sliced through by a blade with a "whoosh" sound. It fell down with a "clang". Hu Xin stood behind her with a ferocious face and a long knife in his hand.

At the same time, Meng Tai immediately rolled to the ground outside the car. Hu Xin seized the opportunity to pounce on Qing Yan with his knife.

Qingyan reacted extremely quickly. In her shock, she reached out to grab Meng Tai but failed. She immediately rolled to the side, avoiding the blade. This was extremely dangerous. Qingyan knew no martial arts at all and relied entirely on her quick wit to get through it. Although she dodged the attack, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she was covered in cold sweat.

Hu Xin hated Qing Yan intensely. His first attack failed, so he unleashed a barrage of vicious blows, each one more ruthless than the last, determined to end Qing Yan's life immediately. His blade flashed, creating a whooshing sound that echoed through the carriage. The carriage, already split open at the front and back, with only the sides remaining, shuddered violently and quickly disintegrated. With a loud crash, it shattered into several useless planks. Qing Yan, who had dodged several times, was already disoriented. With the carriage collapsing, she lost her footing, slipping on the back of a horse that had already collapsed. She tumbled off the carriage, narrowly avoiding another deadly attack from Hu Xin. Now disheveled, her clothes in disarray, panting heavily, she was utterly wretched.

"Stop! Stop!"

Meng Tai tumbled off the car in a disheveled state, but someone rushed to catch him, untied his ropes, and administered the antidote. Suddenly, he caught sight of Hu Xin nearly killing Qing Yan with his knife. Overwhelmed with shock and rage, he jumped up and roared.

Hearing the shout, Hu Xin unleashed his full power with his blade, unable to retract his attack in time. Qing Yan, already fallen to the ground, had no strength left to dodge. Seeing the blade approaching with the force of thunder, she involuntarily closed her eyes.

Is this how I'm going to die? Is everything in this time and space coming to an end? A faint, ink-black figure suddenly appeared before Qingyan's eyes, fleeting and indistinct. Farewell, fox, farewell... Yuwen Ke...

Master, I'm going back before you. I'll wait for you to perform the ritual for me. Don't keep me waiting too long.

With a crisp "ding," the blade cut into her face, causing a sharp pain. However, instead of striking her directly as expected, it stopped abruptly, accompanied by a piercing sound of weapons clashing. Qingyan shrank back in fright and instinctively covered her ears.

The sounds of swords clashing overhead faded away, footsteps darted and leaped around them, and there were gasps from the crowd, along with the sounds of fighting.

This is?...

She suddenly opened her eyes.

A man in a long robe and gauze hat, wielding a long sword, was fighting the crowd. His movements were swift and agile, the sword flashing and spraying blood, eliciting gasps of surprise from the crowd. Meng Tai suddenly cried out, "It's you! It's you!" His voice filled with terror.

Chapter 244: Ugly Monster

The pursuers were numerous, but the man in the long robe and hat only had a handful of men with him. Although they were all highly skilled, they were ultimately unable to fight for long.

After recognizing the man in the long robe and gauze hat, Meng Tai's face suddenly flashed with extreme resentment. He repeatedly gave orders to send light cavalry to attack. Soon, dust rose again in the distance, as if the number of pursuers had increased.

Qingyan stood there blankly, staring at the man in the long robe without saying a word.

After Hu Xin's commotion, Meng Tai's men knew their master's attitude towards the girl, so they surrounded her, preventing her from escaping, but without harming her.

Suddenly, the man in the long robe unleashed a surprising move, his sword flashing repeatedly, shaking off the onlookers. He merged with his sword and charged straight at Qingyan, forcing everyone to scatter and flee in just a few swift moves.

"Go quickly!" He turned around and shouted at Qingyan.

Qingyan hesitated for a moment, bit her lip, stomped her foot, and turned to run away.

Meng Tai was shocked. "Stop her quickly! Don't let her escape!"

The crowd chased after them desperately, when suddenly the man in the long robe let out a long howl. His sword flashed and roared, and his sword aura suddenly swept over them like flowing water and moonlight, blocking them completely.

Just as Qingyan was about to run away, a guard on horseback came chasing from the side. Knowing that Qingyan didn't know martial arts and didn't use a weapon, he bent down and reached out with his claws to grab Qingyan's back. Hearing the commotion, Qingyan suddenly turned around in a panic. As she raised her hand, powder flew everywhere, and she laughed, "Poison powder is here!"

The guard was startled and quickly reined in his horse. The powdery substance blinded him. Just as he was feeling panicked and anxious, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his knee. He had been stabbed by Qingyan with a dagger. Unable to see clearly, he was both anxious and angry. He instinctively swung his palm to strike, but halfway through, he remembered how Hu Xin had almost injured Qingyan earlier and the hateful look in Meng Tai's eyes after he retreated. His heart pounded, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand. In that moment of hesitation, his foot suddenly tightened, and Qingyan grabbed him.

In her haste to escape, Qingyan unleashed her full potential, dragging the panicked guard off his horse with a fierce pull. Grabbing the saddle, she leaped back onto it.

The guard fell to the ground, only then realizing that the poison powder in his mouth felt dusty and grayish. It turned out to be just a handful of dust that the girl had casually grabbed. He was horrified.

Qingyan gripped the reins tightly, her legs clamped around the horse's flanks, and she desperately pounded on its belly. The horse was moving extremely fast, and as she heard the sounds of fighting gradually subsiding, she knew she had escaped. Feeling a little calmer, she realized that she was covered in cold sweat and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of her chest.

Just as he was wryly smiling, he suddenly heard the sound of galloping hooves behind him, and a rider caught up at an incredible speed. He turned around in a panic and saw Meng Tai!

His face was bruised and swollen, and he had some kind of red ointment applied to it, which made his face appear even more vibrant. Combined with his ferocious and gloomy appearance, he looked quite terrifying.
