Chapter 97

Seeing that Peng Wang's words had the desired effect, the Fang family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Chuanzhou took the initiative to find He Zhiran and asked her to help set Zhao's dislocated bones.

At the same time, the rest of the Fang family had already arrived in front of Mo Jiuye and knelt down to kowtow one after another, sincerely thanking him for saving Zhao's life.

He Zhiran skillfully pushed Zhao's protruding bones back into place and then used several small wooden sticks she had just found to immobilize the injury.

The Fang family thanked He Zhiran profusely once again.

Fang Chuanzhou even boasted that it was Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran who had saved Zhao’s life, and from now on the Fang family would work like oxen and horses to repay them.

After staying for a while, everyone continued on their way until they found a mountain gorge to rest in before nightfall.

With Mo Jiuye around, He Zhiran didn’t need to worry about whether the surroundings were safe or not, she only needed to focus on resting.

The sisters-in-law were also scrambling to prepare dinner, so He Zhiran suddenly had free time.

The mountain winds were strong. After dinner, everyone crowded back into the tents.

Although Mo Jiuye was there, He Zhiran still did not rest easy in such an environment.

Her consciousness entered her space dimension and looked at the clock on the wall, it was past three in the morning now.

There was still some time before wake up, He Zhiran closed her eyes, intending to sleep a little longer.

Just as her consciousness was hazy, she felt Mo Jiuye next to her suddenly sit up.

At the same time, she also vaguely sensed rustling sounds nearby.

He Zhiran instinctively sat up and her eyes met Mo Jiuye’s. They almost simultaneously sensed the smell of danger.

The couple tidied up quickly and walked out of the tent together.

The moment they appeared outside the tent, they saw the two guarding officers had almost simultaneously been shot in the chest with arrows and instantly collapsed to the ground.

Mo Jiuye instinctively pulled He Zhiran to his side and spoke urgently at a rapid speed.

"These people are after me, stay here and don't move. I'll lure them away."

No sooner had he finished speaking than his body was already leaping into the air. After a few ups and downs, he raced towards a nearby clump of trees.

Dozens of figures in black appeared one after another, pushing their speed to the limit as they closely followed Mo Jiuye's footsteps, occasionally firing an arrow in his direction.

At the same time, Peng Wang and the other officers also heard the commotion outside and came out one by one, bleary-eyed, to see what was going on.

These attackers were all highly skilled in martial arts. Having learned their lesson, they were now much more vigilant.

They evaded the bullets flying at them in an orderly fashion.

Although a few more people failed to dodge successfully, most were still alive.

The few men in black tacitly glanced at each other before immediately becoming more orderly.

He Zhiran’s actions did not stop as she continued firing at the men in black.

Her barrage did relieve a lot of pressure on Mo Jiuye.

Mo Jiuye also took the opportunity to come to her side.

Seeing the men in black getting closer and closer to He Zhiran, Mo Jiuye didn’t waste a single word. He swept her into his arms and used his lightness skill to retreat.

He Zhiran also took the opportunity to shoot at the men in black again.

The number of men in black visibly decreased rapidly. Thinking all had been killed and this assassination attempt was over, an unexpected situation arose.

To their surprise, a few persistent men in black were still chasing them relentlessly from behind, while more trouble appeared up ahead.

Without a doubt, He Zhiran took out a Swiss army knife from her space and gave it to Mo Jiuye. She continued aiming her gun at the remaining men in black.

By now, the two were cooperating seamlessly with their backs turned to each other.

He Zhiran shot the last few men in black with her machine gun, while Mo Jiuye brandished the Swiss army knife to fend off arrows flying in from the opposite direction.

Luckily, He Zhiran soon disposed of the men in black on her side. As soon as she turned around, she was yanked behind Mo Jiuye by him.

“Stay behind me and don't come out."

He Zhiran was here to help, how could she possibly obediently cower behind him?

Her consciousness entered her space again as she bought two large shields and held them in front of herself and Mo Jiuye.

At the same time, the two retreated in sync, aiming to lure those attackers out.

Having a target, both Mo Jiuye’s close combat and her long range shooting became more focused.

Sure enough, those men in black all revealed themselves after the two had retreated less than ten meters.

He Zhiran’s hands once again held a machine gun full of bullets, firing at the men in black’s direction.

Although Mo Jiuye did not know what weapon He Zhiran was using, he could determine that her weapon was suitable for long range attacks. Its power would weaken if those men in black drew close enough to pose a threat to He Zhiran.

To prevent those men in black from getting near and endangering He Zhiran, Mo Jiuye left her the shield and went up to engage them directly with his lightness skill.
