With the villagers of Erhe Village joining, Black Tiger Mountain became even more noisy.
The fierce Lou Yi, however, seemed to be invisible, no longer appearing to harm others.
"Sigh..."
A short and thin dark-skinned woman fell to the ground while climbing a slope, crying out in pain.
"Mom, are you alright, Mom!"
A little boy with a topknot rushed up from behind, hurriedly helping the woman up.
The two were covered in dust, their clothes torn in many places, with red and swollen skin exposed, showing that they had suffered a lot along the way.
"Hurry up, stop dawdling!" The soldiers behind urged them expressionlessly.
"No, itâs nothing, Gouwa, you donât have to worry about me." The woman spoke bitterly.
Seeing the glaring soldiers beside her, she dared not delay and struggled to get up again.
And her knee was already blood red.
The woman and the child were Cheng Sunâs wife and Gouwa,
Due to their extraordinary relationship with Lou Yi, they were naturally captured too, with many people guarding them.
"Shout!" The soldiers beside coldly forced.
"Lou, Lou Yi, where are you..." Cheng Sunâs wife opened her mouth, hoarsely shouting.
"Louder!"
"Sir, can I have some water?" Cheng Sunâs wife turned her head, pleadingly low-voiced.
"What a hassle, just shout!" The soldiers were unmoved.
"When I grow up, Iâll definitely kill you all!" Gouwaâs eyes flashed with hatred, he whispered.
"Such a ruthless little brat!"
Unexpectedly, the soldier behind heard it, sneering and raising the spiked whip in his hand, whipping down hard.
"Spare us, sir!"
Cheng Sunâs wife tightly held Gouwa in her arms, trying to use her frail back to meet the coming whip.
Just as the whip was about to strike Cheng Sunâs wife.
âWhoosh!â
She suddenly heard a whistling wind.
When she looked up, she saw a shadow flashing by.
"Ah!"
Immediately, the soldier who was torturing her and her son had his head separated, letting out a heart-wrenching scream.
"Uncle Lou!" Gouwa shouted excitedly.
He crawled out from Cheng Sunâs wifeâs arms, looking back, but saw dozens of men appearing instantly, their expressions changing drastically.
"Weâve been waiting for you!"
Man Slaughter and Iron Hand walked out from the woods, flanking Lou Yi.
"Kid, if I let you escape this time, Iâll take your surname!" Man Slaughterâs face was grim, wielding a Wolf Fang Club, showing off his impressive muscles.
Iron Hand wore an Iron Mask, the Silver Hooks on his left hand gleamed coldly. He didnât speak, but the threat to Lou Yi was equal to the otherâs.
"Die!"
Lou Yi took out the Short Pole Halberd he got from killing Chief Ma, striking first and fiercely towards Man Slaughter!
âWhoosh!â
Due to his astonishing strength, a sharp whistling sounded where the Short Pole Halberd passed, even blowing the nearby leaves to rustle noisily.
Man Slaughter was excited at the sight, fearlessly raising the Wolf Fang Club to take it head-on.
"Splitting Mountain!"
Lou Yi shouted low, an invisible momentum spreading towards the opponent.
At the same time, his muscles tensed, his whole bodyâs strength twisted into a knot in an instant, then completely released in the next moment!
âWoo!â
The whistling became extremely sharp, showing the axe power had stepped up a level!
Man Slaughter was stunned for a moment, the action in his hand slightly stalled, the charging force of the Wolf Fang Club obviously waned.
Seeing Lou Yiâs axe about to strike him.
Lou Yiâs back suddenly chilled.
He had to abandon his huge advantage, turning around, the axe transformed from chopping to blocking.
âClang!â
The loud clashing metal sound made everyone present cover their ears involuntarily.
Iron Handâs figure kept retreating, taking five or six steps back before stopping.
And blood flowed from above his lost left armâs Silver Hook, staining it red.
"Good skill."
Iron Handâs hoarse voice carried a hint of unnaturalness.
Seeing other archers surrounding, Man Slaughter regained his senses too.
Lou Yi knowing it was futile, plunged into the forest again.
âSwish swish swish!â
A large area of arrows covered where he was just standing.
"This kid is more dangerous than imagined." Iron Hand said coldly.
Man Slaughterâs expression wasnât good either: "He must have been trained by a master, his Martial Arts apparently reached a grade, with an Enchanting Heart effect. I almost fell for it."
"No problem, since we know his trump card, next time will be his death." Iron Handâs gaze was cold, like a Poison Snake stabbing towards the mother and son of Gouwa.
Then, he walked over, roughly picking up Gouwa.
"Let me go, let me go!"
Gouwa struggled hard, but no matter how he punched and kicked, it was nothing more than tickling for Iron Hand.
...
"Let me go, let me go!"
Gouwaâs face turned red from being held too tightly by Iron Hand, his eyes bulging, and if this continued, he would inevitably suffer irreversible harm.
"Sir, please let my child go, heâs not even ten years old!" Cheng Sunâs wife, full of tears, knelt down, constantly kowtowing to Iron Hand, her forehead hitting the ground, bloody and battered.
"Take good care of her." Iron Handâs expression was cold and unmoved, "This is Lou Yiâs friendâs wife. I want to see if heâs as righteous as the rumors say."
"Haha, interesting, Iâm looking forward to it too." Man Slaughter laughed non-stop.
"Mom... donât... beg him..." Despite the difficulty in breathing, Gouwaâs face showed a stubborn look.
âWhoosh!â
A cold wind flashed by, another scream sounded among the soldiers.
The wind fiercely swept towards where Iron Hand stood.
He suddenly turned around, unexpectedly lifting Gouwa, using him as a shield.
"Come on, slash!" Iron Handâs face was covered by the Iron Mask, but his eyes showed a crimson color, shouting madly.
Beside him, Man Slaughter and the supporting Chief Luan rushed towards Lou Yi together.
âClang clang clang clang!â
The three exchanged a few moves at a speed invisible to the human eye, and Lou Yi spat blood, flying back into the woods.
"Fire!"
Dozens of arrows shot into the spot where Lou Yi had just disappeared.
"This kid is as slippery as an eel!" Chief Luan couldnât help but curse.
"Reinforcements are coming soon, next time will be his death!" Man Slaughterâs expression wasnât good either.
They, several Chief Constables, leading over a hundred soldiers, had been blocking for days, yet still hadnât caught Lou Yi, which wasnât a glorious thing.
In a hidden place in the forest, Lou Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looking towards the Attribute Panel.
The name section of his own was changed from pure green to green with yellow. A faint plus sign appeared at the back, indicating his poor physical condition.
Repeatedly using Splitting Mountain and fighting with Martial Artists imposed a considerable burden on him.
He spent some energy, pressing the plus sign in his mind.
Instantly, a cool energy appeared in his body, swiftly repairing the wound, the tearing sensation in his chest and abdomen vanished immediately.
Lou Yiâs face was still extremely solemn.
What he had to do now was not only to protect himself but also to rescue Gouwa, Cheng Sunâs wife, and others.
This was almost an impossible task!
