Chapter 23 - Wanqing Confirmation
Hearing this, Mu Wanqing looked at Ling Xiao with gratitude.
Of course, Ling Xiao was giving Mu Wanqing a way out. He knew that no matter how proud Mu Wanqing was, she was still a woman, and not someone who had experienced hundreds of battles. It was already good enough for her to be able to stabilize herself in such a situation.
At this moment, Mu Wanqing needed support in order to maintain her confidence.
Ling Xiao roughly estimated that there were about thirty people chasing after him from behind. Adding to the fact that there were the guards at the gate far away, there would not be more than forty people.
If it were just the forty odd ordinary disciples of the Immeasurable Sword Sect, Ling Xiao was absolutely confident that he would be able to clear a path without harming them.
The Limitless Sword Sect would not let them go so easily, at that time, Ling Xiao would have to take action and make them lose their fighting capabilities, that was what Ling Xiao did not want to see.
Therefore, leaving the horse was the most important thing to do right now.
"I see the checkpoint!" "That means we're not far from where the horses are tied up." Mu Wanqing shouted excitedly.
But at this time, Ling Xiao suddenly shouted, "Miss Mu, be careful!"
As soon as he finished his sentence, a whistling sound could be heard from afar. It was the sound of a sharp arrow piercing through the air.
"Sister Mu!" Seeing that, Zhong Ling screamed and rushed over to help him up.
"You guys go first! I'll cut off the rear! " Seeing that, Ling Xiao knew he had to give them some time to recuperate.
After he finished speaking, Ling Xiao was ready to pull out the dog beating stick, but after thinking for a while, if it was like that, his identity as the gang leader would immediately be exposed.
These people who came were all little Luo. They definitely didn't know him, but once the dog beating stick appeared, they would definitely know about it.
Thus, Ling Xiao picked up a bough and helped Zhong Ling break through the barrier. He walked to the middle of the road slowly with one hand on his back and the other hand holding the bough high in the air.
It was as if he was one man against ten thousand!
Seeing Ling Xiao quietly standing in the same place, Mu Wanqing turned her head to look at him with concern, but she was quickly carried away by Zhong Ling. She only saw Ling Xiao's steady and safe back.
When the pursuers saw that only Ling Xiao was standing in the middle of the road with a bough in his hand, they were stunned, but they quickly became furious.
Because that bough made them feel insulted, coupled with Ling Xiao's young face which was only in his twenties, they were so angry that their faces turned red.
"Really? This reputed one hasn't even moved an inch, and I can already make you two so angry? "Your mental fortitude is too bad." Ling Xiao helplessly shook his head.
"Brothers, let's attack together!" Give this arrogant brat a good lesson! " Someone took the lead and roared, bringing everyone rushing towards Ling Xiao.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao could not help but shrug, and then started a set of extremely proficient microstep along with extremely quick sword movements.
Before any of them could see clearly, he had already destroyed their weapons. At the same time, he had ruthlessly lashed out at them, causing them to cry out in pain.
A group of people were jumping around on the spot, their four limbs were twisted, as if they were crazy people dancing.
