Swordholder

Upon hearing this, Nuomi felt as if she had heard a demon's whisper, and she immediately shuddered and trembled all over.

She tried to hold back her sobs, but tears still streamed down her face.

The people around him remained indifferent, as if they were watching something ordinary.

Liu Qing watched her beloved son's actions without stopping him, but instead looked at the guard beside her and asked:

"Have you found out anything? What kind of background does this girl have?"

Before the guard could speak, Wang Cheng laughed and said:

"Don't worry, Mom, she was sold to me by the owner of the clothing store."

Besides, even if she has connections, so what?

"In every village in the entire hill town, which village chief or wealthy household dares to disobey my father?"

"He's just a human. Even with the status of a commoner, he's still a lowly commoner. What does it matter if he dies?"

As he spoke, Wang Cheng's face was full of arrogance, and his expression was one of complete indifference.

"That's true."

Liu Qing nodded.

The girl before me had delicate skin, unlike those malnourished and sickly slaves.

She had only asked casually because she was afraid that the girl had a powerful family backing her up; she didn't really care.

In Shangang Town, her husband was like a god.

Moreover, the family behind her in Huaishan County is a small but powerful clan with a history of three hundred years.

"Alright, let's go back. Your dad's waiting for us to have dinner."

Liu Qing looked at Wang Cheng and spoke in a doting tone.

The convoy of several dozen people started moving again, heading towards the Wang family mansion.

"Mom, I'm going first! This little girl is so interesting, I can't wait to go back and play with her!"

As Wang Cheng spoke, he turned his horse around, yelled loudly, and galloped away, covering more than twenty meters in an instant.

"Be careful, don't be so rough, don't hurt yourself..." Liu Qing smiled indulgently, and seeing that Wang Cheng could no longer hear her, she smiled helplessly and said, "This child..."

But the next instant, her pupils suddenly contracted!

"Oh no! Cheng'er, watch out!"

She immediately screamed!

Swoosh—

Almost simultaneously, a cracking sound, as if the air had been pierced, echoed throughout the heavens and earth!

A boy riding a horse at full gallop ahead was suddenly pierced through the side of his head by a bamboo pole!

puff!

The bamboo pole sprayed a large amount of blood, and the powerful force sent the boy flying, pinning him hard to the trunk of a large tree by the roadside!

boom! ! !

The tree trembled violently, its bark flying everywhere, accompanied by countless leaves falling to the ground.

The head of young Wang Cheng had been completely pierced and was firmly nailed to the tree trunk!

His eyes were wide open and his mouth was agape!

The lingering, almost maniacal smile from before was still on his face.

This sudden turn of events caused Liu Qing's pupils to shrink sharply!

In an instant, his eyes were covered with countless shocking bloodstains!

"Cheng...Cheng'er!!"

She screamed shrilly, her body trembling violently with anger and grief!

"Protect the lady!"

The others' expressions changed drastically, and they immediately drew their knives and scattered, cautiously looking around.

Some people even jumped onto the tree trunks next to them, creating staggered high points.

Seeing Wang Cheng's head pierced and his lifeless state, Liu Qing felt dizzy and her vision blurred.

"Who?! Who dared to kill my son?! I'll tear him to pieces!!!"

Liu Qing roared, her face contorted with rage, looking like a vengeful ghost, extremely ferocious!

call out--

call out--

call out--

Just then, three more bamboo poles shot out from the forest toward the road!

It was incredibly fast, almost turning into a bluish afterimage!

puff!

puff!

puff---

Each bamboo pole pierced through the bodies of two or three guards, lifting them high into the air before pinning them to the ground.

Everyone was shocked!

They were cultivators after all, even if they were only at the Spirit Aperture Realm. In this remote mountain town, they had always been able to bully the common people with ease!

When was we ever slaughtered like this?

hum! ! !

No sooner said than done, another sharp bamboo pole shot through the air with a whooshing sound!

puff!

The maid who had previously threatened to teach Nuomi a lesson had her throat pierced instantly!

The powerful force dragged her up, smashed her into the carriage with a bang, and sent her flying backward, slamming her into the ground. The end of the bamboo pole, stained with blood, was still trembling slightly!

The splattered blood covered Liu Qing's face!

"Ahhh! In the woods!"

"Quickly, send men to capture that villain! A reward of one thousand taels of silver will be given!"

Liu Qing screamed, as if she were going mad.

Upon hearing the reward of a thousand silver dollars, the guards in the trees immediately brightened up.

That's 100,000 star copper coins, enough for them to buy a lot of white pills or pure pills.

In an instant, more than a dozen guards rushed towards the woods, heading straight for the direction from which the bamboo pole had been thrown.

However, a series of whooshing and buzzing sounds rang out again!

Bamboo poles shot out, their powerful force piercing their hearts, passing through their necks, or shattering their skulls!

"Ahhh..."

The guards screamed as they flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground, dying a gruesome death!

"Quick! Everyone, push forward!"

Standing on the carriage, Liu Qing roared with eyes wide open in fury.

So, dozens of guards rushed toward the direction from which the bamboo pole flew, their bodies rising up in vortexes of energy to protect them.

But just then, a figure suddenly appeared from behind them!

laugh!

The figure was dressed in a light blue outfit, with a high ponytail, and wielding a long, narrow, and sharp sword!

Puff puff!

With a swift stroke of the sword, several guards were cut down to the ground.

"What? Someone's backing you up!"

All the guards were terrified. Some of them hurriedly turned around and met a pair of cold, peach blossom eyes!

"This is……"

They were utterly astonished!

It turned out to be a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl!

It was Chen Zhaoning.

In the next instant, several more blades flashed, and several heads flew into the air, covered in blood!

"Kill! Hold back!"

Someone shouted.

In an instant, more than a dozen burly men rushed towards Chen Zhaoning.

Seeing this, Nuomi, who was clinging tightly to the horse's mane and lying on its back, immediately wiped away her tears and exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Ning!"

When Liu Qing heard this, she immediately understood the newcomer's goal!

She was filled with hatred!

It was because of this little girl that her son was killed!

"Arrest this little girl first, and use her to blackmail the people who might come in the shadows!"

Liu Qing immediately roared.

"yes!"

Seven or eight burly men charged toward the horse!

call out!

call out!

call out!

……

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out again, and the seven or eight guards who rushed towards Nuomi were instantly pierced through the back by sharp bamboo poles!

Their forward-rushing bodies were lifted up by the bamboo poles and plunged hard into the ground!

The body slowly slid down, and the surface of the green bamboo pole was already stained red with blood.

"Damn it!"

Liu Qing shouted angrily and suddenly looked towards the woods.

A boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a tattered cotton-padded coat, strode out, carrying several bamboo poles that had not yet been thrown on his back.

"It's you! You owe me my son's life!!"

Liu Qing roared, and her legs began to wriggle, gradually transforming into a snake's tail.

Scales rapidly spread across her neck, and her head deformed. In the blink of an eye, a giant blue snake as thick as a bucket twisted its body and charged towards Chen Yuan!

Chen Yuan looked at Liu Qing, who had transformed into a giant snake, took a deep breath, and murmured, "This... is this a beastman?"

Chen Zhaoning, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the guards in the distance, cried out in alarm:

"Be careful! It's a snake from the Twelve Aspects of Beast Clan! Judging from its status, it should be from the Mysterious Aspect Clan, a Mysterious Serpent, and its cultivation level should be at the Yellow Court Realm!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Chen Yuan was swept away by the snake's tail with a loud bang!

Chen Yuan felt his blood and qi surging within him, as if he had been violently struck by a bull!

"I'm alright! Quick, go save Nuomi!"

Chen Yuan roared in mid-air, and when he crashed heavily to the ground, he kicked up a cloud of dust.

The giant blue snake let out a piercing hiss, its tongue flicking in and out, and lunged at Chen Yuan once more!

Chen Yuan quickly rolled to the side, grabbed the sharp bamboo pole that had fallen to the ground, and threw it at the giant blue snake again!

With a bang, the sharp bamboo pole failed to pierce the green snake's body, being blocked by its scales, leaving only a dark red bloodstain!

The giant blue serpent grew increasingly enraged, letting out a piercing hiss as its tail swept fiercely, causing trees to crash down one after another.

Chen Yuan dodged quickly through the woods. In the face of life-or-death crisis, one of his eyes suddenly glowed black, while the other glowed red.

"This is?"

Chen Yuan's gaze sharpened!

While running, he noticed his arm was itchy, and then black scales began to grow from his arm at a visible speed.

The same change occurred on his feet, where patches of red scales grew!

This caused his speed and strength to increase rapidly!

A storm raged in Chen Yuan's heart!

But he had no time to think, so he quickly composed himself and gripped the bamboo pole tightly in his hand!

Seeing more and more guards rushing towards Chen Zhaoning in the distance, he immediately hurled the bamboo pole in his hand!

hum! ! !

This time, he threw the bamboo pole with greater speed and power!

Puff puff--

The bamboo pole moved with unstoppable force, piercing through the bodies of more than a dozen guards, and then through three tree trunks as thick as water vats, before finally stopping its flight upon hitting the fourth tree trunk.

But the bamboo pole, still vibrating and humming, could not withstand Chen Yuan's power and shattered with a snap.

"How terrifying!"

Upon seeing this, the guards swallowed hard, their expressions filled with lingering fear!

Even Chen Zhaoning was so surprised that her beautiful eyes widened.

Good guy!

This kid's physical strength is actually comparable to that of a cultivator in the Dharma Body Realm!

She took a deep breath, her gaze towards Chen Yuan filled with admiration.

With Chen Yuan's help, she took the opportunity to jump onto the horse that Wang Cheng had been riding.

Nuomi was both surprised and delighted, her eyes filled with tears, and she said in a sobbing voice:

"Waaah, Sister Ning..."

Looking at Nuomi's swollen cheeks in his arms, Chen Zhaoning felt a surge of murderous intent and said in a deep voice:

"Hold on tight, Sister Ning and your Brother A Yuan will take you and kill these bad guys!"

"Mmm...okay!"

Nuomi sniffed, gripped the horse's mane tightly, lay on the horse's back, and looked at her with teary eyes.

The road is about five or six meters wide, with trees on both sides, so it's possible to charge forward on horseback!

If it is a lateral charge, its power will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, more guards rushed over, wanting to capture Chen Zhaoning and make a great contribution.

Chen Zhaoning glanced at Chen Yuan, who was still fighting the giant blue snake in the woods, and roared:

"You brat, watch out! That's an orc at the early stage of the Dharma Body Realm. You'd better wait for me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she resolutely rushed towards Chen Yuan's direction!
