“Kill!”
Lin Changqing heard Cheng Lihu’s shout from the front, followed by chaotic screams of slaughter.
Although Jiang Dali’s eyes lit up when he talked about fighting, he knew very well that his current mission was to protect Lin Changqing and the two spiritual dogs. The wolfhound was not weak, but it had never been in actual combat. It was very easy to make mistakes.
The elites of four halls of the Knife Gang charged forward bravely and fought with the bandits.
Lin Changqing followed behind Jiang Dali. Jiang Dali was obviously not going to bring him into the battle now.
From Lin Changqing’s position, he could already clearly see the situation of the battle in front of him. He saw a large number of bandits getting off their horses and fighting with the elites of the Knife Gang. Only twenty to thirty people were still riding tall and strong horses, watching the battle.
“In such a martial arts world and in such an environment, the advantage of riding and fighting is indeed not great.”
Lin Changqing was relieved when he didn’t see the invincible Knight Charge that he had imagined.
The bandits were not weak, but they had fewer people. The Knife Gang was severely provoked this time, and nearly half of their elite forces were mobilized. Their numbers far exceeded the bandits, and their strength was not inferior.
The members of the Knife Gang all used knives. The horse bandits used a variety of weapons, and most of them used knives.
The two sides engaged in a battle of attrition, or two against one. It was a completely pugilistic style of fighting. Every move was fatal.
In the blink of an eye, many people from both sides had fallen. It was obvious how dangerous the battle in the martial world was.
Lin Changqing saw Cheng Lihu leading a team of elites from the White Tiger Hall and charging forward. Wherever he passed, the bandits fell to the ground and retreated. Very few bandits dared to block their path.
“I miscalculated. I didn’t expect you to find me so quickly. You even brought so many elites. So you’re not going to let us go? Hallist Cheng! This is a misunderstanding. I’ll return the items to you. You’ve killed quite a number of people. How about we call it quits and make peace?” Among the nearly thirty people on horseback, a young man with an extraordinary temperament shouted at Cheng Lihu, who had rushed up.
“You actually know me? Since you know me, you should know who I am. You only thought of making peace after I caught you! Ask if my saber agrees first!” Cheng Lihu knocked down a horse bandit who was charging at him with a slash of his saber and answered loudly.
“In that case, I’ll kill you first! It’s still uncertain who will win!” The young man took the lead. He rode his bay horse and rushed up the not-so-wide road.
The other bandits on horseback followed closely behind and charged.
“Be smart! Don’t fight head-on!” Cheng Lihu loudly reminded the elites of the White Tiger Hall who had rushed up with him. He exerted strength in his legs and charged forward like a galloping horse to meet the charging young bandits.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Cheng Lihu and the young horse bandit exchanged three blows in an instant, but they did not gain the slightest advantage.
“Good saber technique!” Cheng Lihu let out a loud cry and continued to attack. Every move was aimed at the bay horse that the young bandit was riding.
Clang! Clang!
The young horse bandit’s saber was longer. His saber techniques were exquisite, and his riding skills were exquisite. Every time, he could stop Cheng Lihu from hurting the horse. He could even counterattack from time to time and catch Cheng Lihu off guard.
Cheng Lihu held back the young bandit who was the strongest. The other elites of the White Tiger Hall rushed forward and surrounded the remaining bandits who could not use their horses.
Everyone was immersed in killing.
“The situation has stabilized. Let’s go! I’ll bring you to experience it.”
When Jiang Dali saw that the Knife Gang had the absolute advantage, he brought Lin Changqing and the two dogs and headed straight for the area with more bandits and stronger resistance.
Lin Changqing also needed to improve himself and his pets’ strength through battle. He held the [Bamboo Staff] and followed Jiang Dali. He rushed to the front of the fierce horse bandits and raised his staff to hit them.
The Knife Gang had the advantage in numbers, and the horse bandits were basically outnumbered. If not for their fierce nature, they would have been killed long ago.
In order to reduce the casualties, the Knife Gang did not fight the bandits to the death. They fought more cautiously. This allowed a newbie like Lin Changqing, who didn’t have much experience, to use the length of the [Bamboo Staff] and the talent characteristic to hit the horse bandit.
Lin Changqing’s current strength wasn’t weak. This staff didn’t trigger the knockout effect. Just his own strength alone made the horse bandit stagger.
Little Tiger, who had been waiting for an opportunity, instantly rushed forward and bit the bandit’s calf, dragging him to the ground.
A member of Azure Dragon Hall who was fighting with the bandits took the opportunity to kill the bandits with one slash.
“Not bad with a stick and a dog!” The member of the Azure Dragon Hall praised Lin Changqing and Little Tiger before continuing to assist the others in the battle.
Little Green, who was beside him, was powerful. It saw the opportunity and used [Charge]. It instantly appeared behind a horse bandit and bit off his neck.
Jiang Dali had also killed a horse bandit. When he saw that Lin Changqing had a tacit understanding with the two dogs, he was relieved and led them to charge towards the place where there were many horse bandits.
At the back, Lin Changqing pulled out his short knife. With the staff in his left hand and the knife in his right, he attacked to his heart’s content.
Looking up, the ordinary bandits had already been killed.
The powerful team led by the young bandit leader realized that the situation was not good. They used the advantage of the fast horses to contend with Cheng Lihu and the elites of the White Tiger Hall. They fought and retreated. Now, they were blocked by Bao Zigang, who had just gone to ambush them.
“Hallist Cheng, let us go! It’s best for everyone! If anything happens to me here, it won’t be good for you!” The young bandit leader shouted as he fought Cheng Lihu.
“Since you dare to come, don’t be afraid of death. Although our Knife Gang is small, we are not afraid of trouble!”
Cheng Lihu ignored the young bandit leader’s threat.
Seeing that Cheng Lihu was unmoved, the young bandit leader suddenly shouted. His strength increased exponentially, and the speed of his saber became faster and faster. Every move was aimed at Cheng Lihu’s vital points.
Facing the sudden change, Cheng Lihu resisted with all his might, but he was still stabbed several times.
The injured Cheng Lihu took another stab at the back leg of the tall and strong bay horse.
“Let him run first! Don’t stop him!” After Cheng Lihu slashed the horse, he took the initiative to retreat and no longer fought with the young bandit leader who was attacking fiercely.
Sure enough, after the young bandit leader defeated Cheng Lihu, he rushed towards the forest with sparse vegetation and ran away without looking back.
“Bao Zigang! Jiang Dali!” Cheng Lihu called the two of them over. The members of the White Tiger Hall who knew medicine had already come over to bandage his wound. “The two of you, choose some strong people and bring Lin Changqing and his dogs to chase after that person. He won’t get far.
“That person just used a secret technique to unleash his combat strength. He doesn’t have much strength left. You can test him, but don’t attack rashly. I’ll take care of my injuries and catch up with you.”
