If I send you to join the army and marry a woman, will you conquer the Empress?

"Oh no, something's happened!"

Qin Feng felt a chill run down his spine. Carrying Xia Yingtai on his back, he quickened his pace and rushed towards the foot of the mountain.

Looking into the distance, the sky was already dark.

Beside the carriage, Commander Lü, wielding a halberd, was surrounded by more than a dozen black-clad assassins, engaged in a fierce battle.

He was covered in cuts and bruises, his clothes were soaked in blood, and his movements were noticeably slower.

Several assassins' corpses lay on the ground, clearly indicating that Commander Lü had been fighting for some time.

Swish!

Just then, one of the black-clad assassins spotted Qin Feng and Xia Yingtai, who were rushing down from the mountain.

The lead assassin's eyes flashed with wild joy.

"Target spotted!"

"Over there! Kill her!"

At his command, the dozen or so assassins who had been besieging Commander Lü instantly turned around and rushed toward Qin Feng and Xia Yingtai!

A chilling killing intent instantly locked onto the two of them.

Qin Feng didn't have time to think. He reached behind his back, took out the Wind Chaser Bow, drew the bow, and nocked an arrow in one smooth motion.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow pierced the air, heading straight for the assassin at the forefront.

Unexpectedly, the assassin didn't even look at him, but casually swung the steel knife in his hand.

"clang--!"

With a crisp sound, the arrow was precisely cleaved away.

Qin Feng's heart sank.

Master!

A top-notch expert!

These people are far more capable than he imagined!

In just a few breaths, the group of assassins had closed the distance to less than a hundred meters!

"Young Master Qin, you are no match for them... Run!!!"

In the distance, Commander Lü, who was being held back by two assassins, roared with fury in his eyes.

He desperately swung his halberd, trying to rush over to help, but he was held back and couldn't break free at all.

run!

Only this one word remained in Qin Feng's mind.

This is not the time to play the hero!

The other party is after Xia Yingtai, but they will definitely kill her to silence her, and I will not escape death either!

"Let's give it our all!"

Qin Feng made a decisive move, abruptly changing direction and sprinting away!

[Dragon Spirit and Tiger Might], activate!

A surge of immense power instantly flowed into his limbs and bones, and his body, which had been somewhat heavy from carrying a person, suddenly became light.

He also used the "Wind Chasing Step" that he had previously learned.

Although it was only a low-grade Yellow Rank footwork, it played a crucial role at this moment.

"Brother Xia, quickly grab your bow and shoot them!"

As Qin Feng ran, he growled at Xia Yingtai on his back.

"good!"

Xia Yingtai did not hesitate at all and immediately began shooting arrows.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Arrows kept flying out from behind Qin Feng, causing considerable harassment to the pursuers.

However, Qin Feng was carrying someone on his back, which ultimately affected his speed.

The assassins were all highly skilled and agile, and the distance between them was gradually closing.

Fifty meters!

Thirty meters!

Ten meters!

The assassin at the front had already raised his steel knife high, ready to catch up!

At this critical moment!

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning ripped through the night sky, followed by a torrential downpour of large raindrops!

"Splash!"

A fierce wind blew and torrential rain poured down!

The mountain road instantly became slippery and muddy, greatly slowing down the assassins' pursuit.

But this became Qin Feng's opportunity!

Endurance is his forte!

The boundless energy brought by his "Dragon's Vigor and Tiger's Might" made him seem like a tireless machine, maintaining high speed even in the muddy and slippery mountain forest.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the shouts of battle behind them grew fainter and fainter, as if most of the assassins had already been shaken off.

call……

Qin Feng breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But just then, a ghostly figure silently emerged from behind a tree on the side and slashed down with a knife!

not good!

Qin Feng's hair stood on end. Relying on his fighting instincts, he twisted his body in the mud and narrowly avoided the fatal blow!

It's that assassin leader... he actually caught up with us!

More importantly!

There was no road ahead; it was a bottomless cliff!

No way to escape!

"Heh... kid, you can really run!"

The assassin leader approached step by step, letting out a chilling laugh. "Carrying someone on your back and managing to hold out for so long, you're impressive. Too bad, it ends here!"

Xia Yingtai clung to Qin Feng's back, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably, and choked out with sobs, "I'm sorry, Brother Qin, I've dragged you into this..."

She raised her head, faced the assassin leader, and shouted resolutely, "The person you want to kill is me, it has nothing to do with him! I surrender and let him go!"

"Heh, how naive!"

The assassin leader sneered disdainfully, "Do you think I'd leave a single one alive to report back? Today, both of you will die here!!!"

Xia Yingtai was utterly desperate, tears mingling with the rain as they streamed down her cheeks.

However, it was at this moment of despair that...

Qin Feng put Xia Yingtai down and let her lean against a nearby rock.

He turned around to face the powerful assassin leader, his face showing no fear, but rather a strange smile.

"Do you really think you've got this in the bag?"

Qin Feng feigned composure and gave a mysterious smile.

"What, you're about to die, and you still want to resist?"

The assassin leader was taken aback, looked Qin Feng up and down, and showed a disdainful expression.

"If I wanted to kill you, it would only take one move!"

Qin Feng held up one finger, his expression arrogant: "However, I'll give you one chance: use your strongest move! Otherwise, you won't even have a second chance!"

"You brat!"

The assassin leader was thoroughly enraged by his words, and a ferocious murderous intent appeared on his face.

"Fine, since you want to die quickly, then I'll grant your wish!"

He gripped the knife with both hands, raised it high above his head, and his aura surged wildly!

"Try my move—the Thunderclap Blade Technique!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a blinding blade of light, carrying the force of a thunderbolt, slashed down towards Qin Feng!

The air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a piercing explosion!

This is definitely a Xuan-level martial art!

fast!

It's almost at its limit!

This strike sealed off all of Qin Feng's escape routes!

The deadly blade was about to cleave Qin Feng's body in two!

At this critical moment!

A thought flashed through Qin Feng's mind.
