Swordholder

Chen Yuan's fists were clenched tightly in his sleeves, his knuckles turning white, and his eyes flashed with a cold light, his anger almost uncontrollable.

Chen Zhaoning stood beside him, glanced at the trembling girl in front of her, and spoke in a low voice, her tone filled with despair:

"If that girl is bought and becomes a bed slave, she'll be lucky."

"The scariest thing is that she might be eaten. It all depends on whether the person who buys her is a cruel and bloodthirsty beast."

As she spoke, Chen Zhaoning noticed the murderous aura emanating from Chen Yuan and quickly grabbed his hand, whispering a plea for his help:

"A-Yuan, our most important task right now is to find Nuomi."

"Besides, even if you buy this one girl, can you buy all the people who are trafficked?"

"Even if you kill these two business owners, there are still countless people doing this kind of thing. They're like tangled weeds in a field. You can't kill them all, just as you get rid of one wave."

"Moreover, this place is close to Tianqing County City. If we kill any of the Manxiang people, we will be hunted down by the Wuxiang warriors immediately."

"By then, let alone finding glutinous rice, we won't even be able to survive!"

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, clenching and unclenching his fists repeatedly until he finally suppressed the urge to attack.

He looked up, his gaze sweeping coldly across the camp, anxiously searching for Nuomi's figure.

Chen Zhaoning breathed a sigh of relief and added in a low voice, "To make a move here would mean certain death."

Li Wei's palms were sweating with nervousness, but his eyes showed determination.

If Chen Yuan really decides to take action, he will risk his life to stay by Chen Yuan's side.

Just then, Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed sharply, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, and he strode forward.

Seeing this, Li Wei and Chen Zhaoning didn't dare to delay and quickly followed after them.

Soon, Chen Yuan's expression became excited.

He walked forward with a sense of urgency.

Soon, he passed through the slaves squatting on the ground and came to a little girl.

He knelt down, his hands trembling slightly, and with barely concealed excitement, gently reached out and lifted the little girl's head.

When that familiar, round little face came into view, Chen Yuan's pupils trembled violently, his eyes instantly reddened, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

"Glutinous rice...it really is you!!"

Chen Yuan's voice trembled as he could no longer contain his joy. He hugged the little girl tightly in his arms, afraid that she would disappear again if he let go.

The big black horse next to him snorted, a smug look on its face, as if showing off: See, Old Horse, I told you so, she really is here.

As he spoke, the big black horse also came forward and gently nudged Nuomi's small body with its head, showing great affection.

Seeing this, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, gave the big black horse a thumbs up, and sincerely praised it.

This dark horse is really quite intelligent.

Chen Zhaoning's face showed worry, her eyes fixed on Nuomi, who had a blank and unresponsive look, her heart filled with unease.

"One hundred Yang Gold coins, take her away."

At that moment, the middle-aged boss who had previously sold slaves saw the two people embracing tightly, and his eyes lit up.

He immediately swung his tail and stepped forward, speaking with a playful expression.

He realized that Chen Yuan knew this young girl, so he deliberately set an exorbitant price, hoping to squeeze a hefty sum out of her.

Chen Yuan ignored the middle-aged man and instead examined the expressionless Nuomi to see if he had any injuries.

When I found her unharmed, a weight was lifted from my heart, and I breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Seeing that Chen Yuan ignored him, the middle-aged man's eyes darkened. He gave a signal, and immediately, a group of burly guards gathered around, each with a ferocious look on their face.

Upon hearing that it cost one hundred Yang Gold, Chen Zhaoning finally reacted and instinctively roared, "One hundred Yang Gold? Why don't you just rob me?"

"Heh, aren't I robbing someone?"

The middle-aged man sneered, crossed his arms, and said with a mocking expression, "Buy it if you can afford it, get lost if you can't."

"Manager, isn't the price too low? These people in front of us clearly know that little girl."

One of the guards spoke in a low voice: "Although we found this little girl in the mountains, we might as well make some money off humans..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhaoning's chest heaved violently, and his eyes widened in anger.

Chen Yuan's expression was icy as he placed the girl in his arms onto the back of the big black horse and gestured for Li Wei to keep an eye on her.

Li Wei nodded emphatically, his eyes warily scanning the surrounding guards, looking ready to fight to the death.

"I'm taking her with me."

Chen Yuan pointed to Nuomi lying on the horse's back, looked at the middle-aged man, and said in an icy tone.

"Okay, here's the money."

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, then extended his hand, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

All the guards around him sneered.

In their view, Chen Yuan could not possibly have a hundred Yang Gold.

"You can owe me for now; my Chen family will pay."

Chen Zhaoning held back Chen Yuan, who was about to explode in anger, stared intently at the middle-aged man, and said through gritted teeth.

"The Chen family? Heh, you're saying you're from the Chen family of Tianqing County?"

The middle-aged man spoke, looking Chen Zhaoning up and down.

"That's me!" Chen Zhaoning straightened his chest. "I'll take her back to the Chen family, and soon someone will send over one hundred Yang Gold!"

"Hehe, no way."

The middle-aged man shook his head resolutely, his gaze fixed on Chen Zhaoning, a burning greed in his eyes. He continued, "How about we keep you here as collateral?"

Chen Zhaoning's heart sank.

She is the eldest daughter of the Chen family, one of the four great families of Tianqing County. Although she rarely appears in public, she spends most of her time cultivating on the family's mountain.

But that doesn't mean that Chen Zhaoning's appearance wasn't remembered by those beast-manipulating forces.

This is clearly intentional.

Either they don't respect the Chen family, or they deliberately detain her to humiliate the Chen family and even her grandfather's reputation.

In a flash, Chen Zhaoning thought of many things. Her slightly bulging chest heaved violently as the pent-up anger in her heart gradually rose.

"Fuck you! Ah Ning, I can't take it anymore!"

Chen Yuan's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Chen Zhaoning. "I can tolerate not saving anyone else, but not Xiao Nuomi!"

"Besides, this beast wants to keep you here as a hostage, that's unacceptable!"

Chen Zhaoning saw the raging anger in Chen Yuan's eyes, and her heart warmed. She nodded heavily. She also had a fiery temper and a dislike for being humiliated; otherwise, she wouldn't have left the Chen family.

Seeing the burning killing intent in Chen Yuan's eyes, he decided to go all out.

She roared, "Fine, then let's kill them!"

"Here, you can go on a killing spree, my grandfather will cover for you!"

"Even if my grandfather doesn't help, I, Chen Zhaoning, will live and die with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man's face was full of sarcasm, and he was about to burst out laughing!

In his eyes, these two human boys and girls, who hadn't even grown their hair yet, were spouting nonsense about going on a killing spree and talking about living and dying together!

That's ridiculously stupid!

He was about to say something sarcastic when his mocking gaze suddenly narrowed!

In his pupils, a gleaming kitchen knife was reflected, suddenly slashing down towards his neck!

puff!

In an instant, his head flew into the air, and blood gushed five or six meters high from his headless neck!

boom!

Chen Yuan beheaded the middle-aged man with a single stroke and then kicked his corpse away.

He gripped the kitchen knife tightly, staring intently at the guards around him, his eyes burning with uncontrollable rage!

"Screw putting up with it, let's beat them to a pulp!"

Chen Yuan roared, his eyes bloodshot.

The anger he had accumulated along the way had long since made his heart feel like it was about to explode.

He could choose not to save the others, nor did he have the ability to do so.

But for Nuomi, we must save her at all costs! Even if she dies, so be it!

Only in this way could he repay Lu Chengfeng's kindness.

"Damn it, you dare to kill..."

One of the guards flew into a rage, but before he could finish speaking, Chen Yuan threw the kitchen knife at him!

puff!

In an instant, most of the cleaver sliced ​​into the guard's face!

The guard fell straight down, lifeless.

"Damn it, he dared to make a move? Kill him!"

The guards around him immediately became agitated. Some of them roared and drew their long swords, charging towards Chen Yuan!

"Awei, you take Nuomi and Aning and go first!"

Chen Yuan roared with a ferocious expression, his chest burning with rage that needed to be released!

kill!

He charged out like a vicious wolf!
