From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

Ding!

With a soft thud, the three-legged bull's almost completely worn-down horns on its head directly blocked the arrow.

Looking up, his eyes were bloodshot, and hot white breath spewed from his nostrils.

On the cliff face on one side of the valley, a large group of figures appeared, with a richly dressed man standing in front.

Upon seeing who it was, Chen Shi frowned. It was Feng Ji.

"Damn beasts, I've finally found you!"

Feng Ji stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down at the hornless black sheep and the three-legged spotted cow with an exceptionally sinister gaze.

"You think you can kill me by sneaking up on me while I'm injured? Dream on! Now that I'm healed, I'll skin you alive and tear you to pieces."

Take advantage of his injury to launch a sneak attack?

Chen Shi was taken aback and couldn't help but look at the hornless black sheep. He knew Feng Ji was injured; it was Chen Shi who had hurt him. But what about the sneak attack?

Could it be that the hornless black sheep ambushed Feng Ji?

"You're here too. It's true what they say, fish find fish, shrimp find shrimp, and turtles find turtles."

Feng Ji turned to Chen Shi, his gaze equally cold, before bursting into laughter again.

"Haha, perfect! Saves me the trouble of searching for you one by one. I'll wipe you all out today!"

"Hmph, what a big mouth you have."

Chen Shi looked at Feng Ji, gave a soft snort, and frowned slightly.

Although he spoke disdainfully, Feng Ji had over a hundred men under his command, and unlike ordinary bandits, these were all private troops kept by the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion.

Since they were brought into Yongqiu Mountain to hunt down the Qilin, they were all elites. Although their cultivation level was not high, they were all well-trained and experienced in battle.

Their individual combat strength is at least on par with the defenders of Yongqiu Mountain.

Once a military formation is formed, even high-ranking warriors have no choice but to avoid its sharp edge.

Moreover, Feng Ji himself is a fifth-rank Grandmaster!

Even if Chen Shi and the hornless black sheep joined forces, they probably still wouldn't be able to defeat them.

Of course, if you can't win, you can run away.

"Brother Sheep."

Chen Shi turned to the hornless black sheep and gestured with his eyes.

The hornless black sheep gently stomped its front hoof, indicating that it understood.

The next moment, the man and the two beasts ran straight towards the entrance of the valley.

The valley is narrow, and being trapped inside is like being a turtle in a jar. To escape, one must first leave the valley.

Compared to exiting from the valley entrance, climbing directly up the cliff is actually faster. It's not December now, so the cliff face isn't covered in smooth, solid ice. Chen Shi has the ability to traverse the air, and the hornless black sheep can also walk on air; neither is difficult for them.

However, the three-legged spotted cow is quite heavy and probably doesn't have that ability.

Furthermore, with Feng Ji and his men guarding the top, they wouldn't be able to easily get up there.

Therefore, we still choose to break out from the valley entrance.

"Shoot arrows, kill them!"

Sure enough, following Feng Ji's shout, the soldiers above chased after him along the cliff face while shooting arrows down.

One by one, they were skilled archers and horsemen, and in an instant, arrows rained down on Chen Shi and his men.

Ding ding ding!

As Chen Shi ran, he swung his one-foot-long knife, deflecting all the arrows aimed at him.

On the other side, the hornless black sheep moved swiftly and nimbly, dodging all the arrows with sheer agility.

Only the three-legged spotted ox, rather clumsy, blindly charged forward and was hit by several arrows in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, as a high-level beast, it possesses an extremely robust physique. Ordinary arrows cannot penetrate its hide at all, and even some powerful bows and arrows can only penetrate an inch at most before failing to go any further.

So although it looks like it's been shot all over, they are actually just superficial wounds and nothing serious.

The valley wasn't very long to begin with, and after running so fast, the valley entrance was right in front of us in the blink of an eye.

"There are still people!"

When they were still more than ten meters away, another group of people suddenly appeared, each holding a tower shield, their bodies overlapping like a city wall, blocking the way.

Besides the cliff, Feng Ji had also left a group of men there.

Roar!

With a roar, the three-legged spotted bulls charged forward, one of them leading the charge. Its nearly flattened horns, aimed directly at the shields, rammed into them without hesitation.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, more than a dozen tower shields flew into the air, and those behind them were knocked over and thrown about.

This three-legged spotted ox was indeed incredibly strong, even Chen Shi couldn't help but secretly marvel at it.

Whoosh!

But the next moment, accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, a group of soldiers pulled a net of blades and covered the three-legged bull that had broken through the tower shield.

The so-called knife net is a net with sharp knife tips hanging all over the rope. Once caught in the net, it is not only difficult to break free, but you will also be constantly cut by the sharp blades.

This netting was clearly designed specifically for mythical beasts, woven from special materials, making it incredibly tough. Moreover, it utilizes the principle of overcoming strength with softness; although the three-legged ox is powerful, it cannot break through its defenses.

Once caught in the net, it's probably all over.

Upon seeing the knife net, the three-legged spotted bull showed a hint of panic in its eyes, but it was running too fast and didn't have time to change direction or stop.

Just as he was about to crash into it, a figure flashed by—it was Chen Shi.

A foot-long blade flew from his hand, guided by a thread of air, cutting down several people at one corner of the blade net. In doing so, a gap was instantly revealed in the opened blade net.

The three-legged spotted cow saw this and charged straight out through the gap.

Seeing that the sword net had failed to work, the soldiers quickly adjusted their formation and continued to block Chen Shi and his men from breaking through.

At the same time, Feng Ji arrived with his men, forming a pincer movement.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!"

Feng Ji looked at Chen Shi and the others with a cold smile.

With a whoosh, hundreds of white bone ghost claws emerged from his ribs; these were his Dharma body, the Netherworld Thousand Hands.

"I'll deal with this kid, you guys kill those two beasts."

Without a word, he gave his subordinate a command and immediately charged toward Chen Shi.

Following Feng Ji's orders, two hundred men formed a battle formation and surrounded the hornless black sheep and the three-legged spotted cow.

Chen Shi glanced at it and couldn't help but frown.

If it were only a hornless black sheep, given its agility, even if it couldn't win, escaping shouldn't be a problem. But the three-legged spotted cow is too clumsy and would probably have difficulty escaping.

The hornless black sheep, implicated by the three-legged spotted cow, will likely also be trapped here.

As for Chen Shi himself, he could certainly escape, but what about the hornless black sheep?

Putting aside his relationship with the hornless black sheep, if the hornless black sheep were to die, Chen's plan to use it to restrain the Chilong would fall through.

"Hey kid, what are you thinking about?"

With a loud shout, Feng Ji rushed forward, his pale white ghost hand grabbing fiercely.

"I'm thinking some people are really shameless; their words are as empty as farts."

Chen Shi snorted lightly, swung his foot-long sword, and shattered the ghostly claw in one blow, a mocking expression on his face.

"court death"

Feng Ji's gaze turned cold, and hundreds of ghostly hands frantically reached out to grab Chen Shi.

Chen Shi held two swords in his hands, wielding them like the wind to protect himself.

While dealing with Feng Ji, he kept an eye on the situation with the hornless black sheep. As soon as the hornless black sheep and the three-legged spotted cow got away, he would immediately escape.

Unfortunately, it's probably not that easy.

A moment later, the hornless black sheep was unharmed, but the three-legged spotted cow was covered in wounds. Although they were all superficial injuries, it was now covered in blood, and the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be.

"This is the only way."

Chen Shi frowned, temporarily repelling Feng Ji with a single strike, and then pulled out a signal cannon from his pocket.

Whoosh! Boom!

The signal cannon was launched into the air, followed by a muffled, thunderous roar and a large cloud of smoke.
