Chapter 172: Chapter 171: Old Man in the Mountain (Seeking Subscriptions)

Just one second before Li Changhe looked back, General Tudah was somewhat confused, as he hadn’t spotted any transcendent people sneaking into the city.

Normally, with their status as servants of the Sun King, they would sense someone entering the city.

Nevertheless, he still issued the correct order—close all the city gates.

Then, he saw two young girls riding a black warhorse towards the city gate at full speed. One of the girls with black hair was standing on the horse’s back.

"Ludes... how useless are you?" Tudah was shocked, recognizing the two girls as ’sacrifices’.

How did the two girls manage to slip away from Ludes and even steal a warhorse?

Ludes being useless was one thing, but this warhorse was his cavalry’s! When did God’s Whip become so weak that it could be stolen by two young girls?

Soon, though, Tudah calmed down.

He noticed that the black-haired girl on the horse’s back was exceptionally stable. No matter how the warhorse moved, her body seemed nailed to its back, all while protecting the girl in front. She was definitely a master!

And as for the warhorse... The warhorses of God’s Whip wouldn’t obey anyone but their owners. How did she manage to control it?

"A transcendent!" Seeing that the black-haired girl shot down one of his subordinates with a single arrow, General Tudah had a thought, and long-lost excitement surged in his heart.

Regardless of whether he’d kill the ’sacrifices’ or anger the Sun King, he wanted to exchange a few blows with this master first!

He pulled out a bone arrow, raised his bow, and shouted, "Watch out for the arrow!"

The next second, he saw the black-haired girl quickly turn around, her bow nearly as tall as her was drawn.

"Come on! Archer against archer!" He heard the girl’s roar, laughed, and launched an arrow.

At the same time, Li Changhe released his bowstring.

’Moon Triple’ effect triggered, three cold lights, one aimed at Tudah’s bone arrow, and the other two aimed at Tudah’s chest and head. Although there was no assistance from [Eagle’s Demon Eye], the passive skill [Remote Attack Expert] was still useful. Blocking the opponent’s arrow while attacking them would stall their pursuit for a while.

"Boom!"

Li Changhe subconsciously turned his head, and it felt as if something had just brushed past close to his ear, cutting off a strand of his black hair. His face stung.

General Tudah’s body merely swayed, both arrows blocked by him, and he looked at the arrows turning into points of light.

Tudah laughed, "Sharpshooter? No, that’s impossible at this age. Are you the Western Immortal Witch or an Eastern Daoist Transcendent? Hahaha, it’s amazing to encounter someone like you!"

Li Changhe was startled. What just happened? His arrows had clearly hit the bone arrow, yet he still almost got headshotted?

Even though [Title Skill] was currently locked, Li Changhe’s archery skills were not to be underestimated. The mechanical bow’s power was not weak, and there were effects that strengthened long-range attack damage.

At this moment, could he not even handle the bone arrow? How powerful was that bone arrow?

Touching the blood on his face, Li Changhe cursed to himself: "Damn it!"

"Boss, I saw General Tudah. The [Task Information] has been updated. Can we kill him?" Moon God sent a message through [Friends].

"By the time you say, I’d be dead already! I’m sniping him right now. Never sniped before, I have to run!" Li Changhe quickly responded, "All of you, be careful! This guy’s strength is not weaker than us. Don’t engage him before we regain our [Player] abilities completely!"

"What if we team up?" Moon God felt that if they ganged up to attack and kill Tudah, they could regain another ability. At least, they would be able to protect themselves.

"What about the following [Tasks]? Besides, do you know how many dangerous people like him there are?" Li Changhe looked back at the falling city gate. There was still time! He just had to dodge General Tudah’s arrow, and he’d make it!

Seeing Tudah raise his bow again, Li Changhe’s heart hardened. The black bow rose again, this time aiming at three targets all set on the bone arrow, determined to block it!

"Thud!"

Four cold glows collided, and this time Li Changhe watched carefully. With the bone arrow’s purple faint light, her own arrow seemed to decay instantly as it touched it.

The bone arrow pierced through the three arrows and aimed straight at Li Changhe’s chest.

"A mysterious attack? You’re ruthless!" Secretly cursing, Li Changhe reached out to block her chest, and the space above her hand flickered.

The [Boss Lead] slammed into the bone arrow, extinguishing the faint light on it.

To deal with a mysterious weapon, one must use the [Boss Lead]. But the rebound force almost made Li Changhe fall off her warhorse.

"Deadly if hit!" Li Changhe felt a sudden suffocation in her chest and coughed out blood. With a 10 Physique, she got injured like this. What if she got hit instead?

Quickly grabbing the bone arrow, in that instant, the purple glow on the bone arrow lit up again, and Li Changhe felt her brain go faint, as if an icy and evil voice was rushing straight into it.

"Scram! How dare you be insolent when I’m right here?" Yun Ting’s voice quickly rang in her mind, allowing Li Changhe to return to normal.

The bone arrow showed no anomaly anymore. Luckily, she had already kept her distance from Tudah. Otherwise, Li Changhe would have died from that momentary loss of consciousness.

"What a wicked thing. What was that?" Li Changhe was still uneasy and almost got killed while studying it out of curiosity.

"I’m not sure, I just knew something was trying to squeeze into your mind. I casually drove it away. Let’s get out of here first!"

As Li Changhe approached the city gate, she swung her black bow, shot down the guards at the gate, and steered her warhorse to jump over the horse repellents they had set up.

Bending low, she squeezed through the falling gate, narrowly escaping through the large door.

It was only when she ran a few hundred meters out and Yun Ting said that no one was chasing her from the city that Li Changhe finally let out a sigh of relief.

Looking back, without the [Eagle’s Demon Eye], she couldn’t see any people. It was strange that the other party didn’t chase them out.

"They dare not leave the city." said Bella, clutching her painful arm, "My royal guards and the transcendent ones in the sect are lurking in the wild. If they come out rashly, they will suffer."

Her left arm had already been broken by Ludes, and her injuries had worsened as Li Changhe pulled her onto the warhorse for the escape.

Li Changhe helped her off the horse, checked her injury, and took out the [Black Jade Healing Cream] Xiao Nan gave her, muttering, "This was given to me by my girlfriend. I’m only giving it to you because your injury is serious."

Her mind stirred, now realizing that her previous calculations were wrong. There were still other plot forces here, but they were more secretive. An alliance could still be formed.

Bella, on the other hand, looked at Li Changhe’s girlish appearance and the words "girlfriend," her face showing some fear.

Li Changhe didn’t bother explaining, thinking that claiming herself as a man would only scare Bella more. She looked toward the surrounding night, and it seemed as if dark shadows were approaching.

"So..." Li Changhe held a horizontal knife in one hand and [Boss Lead] floated above her other palm, "Are all of you the reinforcements here to rescue Bella?"

About ten meters away, the night seemed to surge, and a man in black with a skull mask slowly walked out of the darkness.

"You will gain the friendship of the old man in the mountains... witch."

Li Changhe??? Assassin?
