Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 627 - 625

Chapter 627: Chapter 625

"Big bro, he chased us down!"

"Shut up! There’s so many of us. Are we actually scared of him?" The leader scolded them, then cracked his whip at Xiao’er’s horse!

The horse carrying Xiao’er was a fine steed and it ran even faster!

If it wasn’t Xiao’er who was tied on the horse, she would have praised it!

She has never seen a horse that could handle punishment like this! She would not bear to hit the horses in her space. If it just stopped, she would definitely adore it more than the horses in her space! Xiao’er thought with a slightly muddled mind.

Unfortunately, the horse couldn’t hear Xiao’er’s thoughts. It sprinted faster, causing more pain for her.

If there was anyone to look at Xiao’er at this moment, they would see her entire face had turned purplish-red due to too much blood filling it.

"You two get her out of here! The rest follow me and kill him!" The leader ordered as he halted his horse and turned to intercept Shangguan Xuanyi.

Shangguan Xuanyi saw Xiao’er tied on the horse, jostling the entire journey. Half of her small face had turned color, and it was so painful for him to see!

His face was cold and murderous intent filled his eyes. Quickly drawing his soft sword, the blade shimmered with a purplish-black light under the sun!

Shangguan Xuanyi wished to torment these people to death, but he didn’t have the time to play with them. His girl was suffering! Therefore, he wanted to kill them as quickly as possible, every second counts.

Shangguan Xuanyi leaped off his horse and swung his sword at the men who lunged at him with their swords!

Shangguan Xuanyi didn’t use his inner strength. He needed to strike them with his poisoned sword, not to remain uninjured himself.

If he used his full power, his sword aura would be extremely formidable. They would not be able to approach him so casually. But, if he did that, due to their high martial arts skills, it would take longer to kill them. Therefore, he didn’t use his inner strength, desiring a quick and decisive battle. He didn’t have much time.

Like a slithering snake, Shangguan Xuanyi’s body maneuvered quickly, evading their swords while simultaneously swinging his blade at the two closest foes.

The two men were immediately hurt and fell to the ground, their faces turning black.

The remaining three men saw this and their faces contorted. What kind of poison was this? Death upon contact! The poisonous silver needles were the same! This poison was absurdly overbearing!

Shangguan Xuanyi’s arm and back got sliced! But he didn’t care.

"The grand Sixth Prince, I didn’t expect you to resort to poisoning your sword! What a despicable act!" The leader, who had already lost two of his capable men and another one because of Xiao’er, was now completely enraged.

Shangguan Xuanyi did not say anything, he just quickly swung his sword at another person.

They can kidnap a weak woman, why can’t he poison the sword!

Cunning? We’re evenly matched!

All is fair in war! Haven’t you heard of it!

Seeing Shangguan Xuanyi’s sword swing towards him, he immediately retreated in fear. The sword was poisoned which could immobilize him upon contact, he couldn’t dare to get close!

The leader saw his subordinate dodging faster than anything, he was even more furious and scolded, "Coward!"

Then he held up his sword with full power and pierced towards Shangguan Xuanyi!

This sword was absolutely fierce, searing to touch even from a distance!

Shangguan Xuanyi held up his sword to block, his other hand simultaneously releasing several darts.

The men who had been at the receiving end of the poisonous needles quickly evaded!

The leader was also quick to take back his sword and used his sword to fend off the darts that were shot at him.

Getting injured was one thing, but nobody wanted to fall down instantly!

Using this chance, Shangguan Xuanyi landed a hit on someone with his sword, and then one more person fell!

Only two more left!

He didn’t stop there, one hand throwing darts and the other swinging his sword, forcing the two men backward!

The leader dodged swiftly, wondering how there seemed to be endless darts in Shangguan Xuanyi’s hand. How could there be so many!

Shangguan Xuanyi’s movements were too fast; he couldn’t see clearly how the darts appeared in his hands. But there had to be an end to the quantity of concealed darts right! As he dodged and blocked with his sword he also thought about this problem.

Another man was caught off guard and stabbed by Shangguan Xuanyi, falling to the ground!

One more left!

Without the slightest bit of hesitation, Shangguan Xuanyi used his full power and stabbed forward with his sword, the speed frightening, and the sword aura was so intense that it forced people to shut their eyes.

The man in black knew that he could not dodge in time, Shangguan Xuanyi’s skill was above his, he could only hold up his sword to block.

Shangguan Xuanyi took advantage of this moment and flung out only poisoned dart he had.

The sound of the dart piercing flesh rang out.

The sound of a body falling to the ground rang out.

The leader’s eyes widened like a bull’s, he was unable to reconcile the fact that he had fallen so easily even though his martial arts skills weren’t astronomically high, but definitely outstanding.

Shangguan Xuanyi did not spare him a second glance, directly jumping on his horse rushing towards the direction Xiao’er had gone to.

At this time, the hidden guards’ horses had also caught up. Seeing that Shangguan Xuanyi had quickly killed several people, they couldn’t help but admire their master’s martial arts prowess and was beyond their reach.

Shangguan Xuanyi was about to catch up with the other two men!

The hooves of horses sounded urgently from behind!

Turning their heads, the two men saw Shangguan Xuanyi was just about 200 meters away. Seeing how quickly Shangguan Xuanyi caught up, they were taken aback. Had their companions been killed so quickly by him?!

Even the leader had been killed so easily by him? Just how high are his martial arts skills?!

Seeing a fork in the road before them, one of the men led Xiao’er’s horse down one of the smaller paths, hitting the horse’s backside with a whip, urging it to run faster.

He then escaped down the other path!

His companion instantly knew what he was doing and followed him down the other path.

Shangguan Xuanyi followed Xiao’er’s horse without hesitation!

The hidden guards behind didn’t need orders. They split into two teams and followed closely.

The horse carrying Xiao’er was suffering from the blow. The pain had driven it to run like mad.

The cliff was ahead. Shangguan Xuanyi squeezed the horse’s belly with both his legs, making it exert all its strength to run!

Xiao’er felt like she had a concussion from all the shaking and swaying, her head spinning.

A gust of wind blew and helped her regain some consciousness. She turned back and saw Shangguan Xuanyi alone, and finally, breathed a sigh of relief. At last, he has caught up! Then she allowed herself to faint.

Only when Xiao’er’s horse arrived at the edge of the cliff did it react and ran out of road, but the inertia was too strong for it stop and it leaned forward near the edge of the cliff.

Xiao’er fell down with the horse.
