23: Han Yi's strategy
"This Song Qing," Wang Meng, who was usually taciturn, clenched his double maces tightly, leaving red marks on his palms. "He's too shameless and despicable........"
"The Sect won't let him off!" Pan Sheng gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "When I return to the Sect, I will definitely report to the Elder!"
"You've all been sold out by others and don't even know it, hahaha!"
"Still want to return to the Sect," Tie Lu cackled, "That's really funny. Do you know why we knew your escort time so accurately?"
He said mysteriously, "Someone gave us the information long ago!"
"Our information was actually sold out!"
Tie Lu's expression was wildly triumphant, but Han Yi felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly!
"There's actually an Inner Sect Disciple traitor within the Sect!" Pan Sheng said through gritted teeth. He was furious, feeling an unknown fire rush from the soles of his feet straight to his head.
Inner Sect Disciples like Pan Sheng, who were born and raised in the Sect, were the most loyal to the Crimson Flame Sect and the least able to tolerate betrayal of the Sect!
"I must find out who the traitor is!" Pan Sheng thought with an Ru Yi plan.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, put on a nonchalant expression, and a slight smile appeared on his face: "Can the second boss tell me which scoundrel in the Sect tipped you off!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Tie Lu was startled at first, then burst into laughter, clutching his stomach: "Tell you? Do you think I'm just a muscle-bound brute with no brain!"
"Everyone says the Crimson Flame Sect is a tyrant in An Yan County, but today it seems they're nothing special. One coward ran away, and now a fool has come!" As he said this, he looked at Pan Sheng with the gaze one would give a fool.
The two or three Black Wind Horse bandits accompanying him also burst into laughter, as if mocking Pan Sheng's foolishness.
Pan Sheng's old face flushed red. He knew that in his haste, he had asked such a foolish question.
'Flying Feather Arrow - Three Rings Encompassing the Moon!' he roared.
Three arrows, like startled swans, pierced through the chests of two bandits, and their laughter abruptly stopped.
Clang!
An arrow shot towards Tie Lu's face was deflected by Tie Lu.
Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop
However, Tie Lu's counterattack was faster. The Black Wind Horse galloped like the wind, its four hooves flying as it charged towards Pan Sheng!
"Not good!" Wang Meng was extremely close to Pan Sheng, and the two of them worked together to deal with it.
"Snap!"
A bone-chilling sound of bones breaking echoed.
Pan Sheng and Wang Meng were sent flying like cannonballs, tumbling through several tents and rolling dozens of meters on the ground before finally stopping.
In a single exchange, Pan Sheng and Wang Meng had clearly lost their combat ability!
"Han Yi, run!" Pan Sheng's face was pale, a trace of blood still on the corner of his mouth, as he struggled to prop himself up and shouted towards Han Yi.
"Run?" Han Yi smiled bitterly in his heart, "How could he outrun the Black Wind Horse!"
He had just witnessed the speed of the Black Wind Horse with his own eyes. Perhaps he could barely match its speed by fully activating "Flying Swallow Kick - Swallow Flight", but his cultivation was only at the Refining Bone early stage, his Qi and blood power was limited, how could his stamina win out?
"Kid, you're the only one left......." Tie Lu sneered sinisterly.
'Soul Shattering Hammer Technique'!
Tie Lu turned the horse's head, swinging his iron hammers with both hands, and charged towards Han Yi again.
'Flying Swallow Kick - Swallow Flight'!
Han Yi only felt gusts of strong wind coming at him, as if trying to crush him!
Fortunately, the movement technique provided by the Flying Swallow Kick was much more flexible than the Black Wind Horse. In the narrow space of the camp, Han Yi dodged and weaved, and Tie Lu couldn't do anything to him yet.
But Han Yi could only try his best to dodge and couldn't counterattack like Li Feng.
He glanced at Tie Lu a few times. Beside him floated the numbers '20(45)~35(65)', while his fully equipped stats were '21~40'.
"As long as I deal with the Black Wind Horse, this Tie Lu is not to be feared!"
"But how can I deal with the Black Wind Horse......." A thought flashed through Han Yi's mind, "This Black Wind Horse is covered in armor, hard as iron and stone, and it's extremely fast......."
Tie Lu looked at Han Yi, who seemed to be standing still not far away, and felt a bit smug: "This mission is a bit easy. The boss said he would reward me with his concubine after the mission is completed......."
"The soil here seems relatively soft......." Before Han Yi could come up with a good idea.
Tie Lu's upper body musclesSquirm like strong tree roots. He rode the Black Wind Horse, like a small mountain, and swung his large hammer towards Han Yi!
"That's the way!" Han Yi quickly mobilized the Qi and blood in his body, his hands became hot and swollen, and the Qi and blood in his body surged into his arms like a great river.
In an instant, the muscles in his arms swelled rapidly, making his already strong muscles instantly bulge like small hills, as if endless power was continuously pouring out.
Although Han Yi's upper body muscles were bulging at this time, making his overall proportion seem a bit uncoordinated.
"But, this feeling of being full of power is really great......." A thought flashed through Han Yi's mind, "I guess I can be considered a little muscle monster like this........"
'Mountain Shattering Fist - Earth Splitting!'
Han Yi's punch was full of power, seemingly slow, but actually as fast as lightning, striking the ground in front of him!
"This kid, is he scared silly by me......." Tie Lu said with a grin as he charged.
He didn't notice that on the ground, there was a spot that was slowly caving in, seeming a few inches lower than the surrounding area!
Neigh, neigh
A thud sounded.
Suddenly, Tie Lu and his horse fell into a pit!
The pit was not deep, nor very wide, it just shallowly caused the Black Wind Horse to lose its footing.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey." Tie Lu firmly grasped the reins. Although he didn't fall off the horse, he choked on a few mouthfuls of dust.
"Hmph, petty trick!" Tie Lu looked at the shallow pit.
He was just about to command the Black Wind Horse to jump out.
Suddenly, the hazy moonlight was blocked, and Tie Lu's head was suddenly enveloped by a 'shadow'.
"This, is this water?" He was a little confused. Was someone squirting 'water' at him?
The 'water' completely covered Tie Lu and the Black Wind Horse!
A pungent smell came, and Tie Lu's face changed dramatically, "This is lamp oil!!"
The next moment, a torch arced through the air in a beautiful trajectory.
Before Tie Lu could extinguish the torch, suddenly, countless more torches came flying in!
Neigh, neigh, neigh
The Black Wind Horse roared and neighed, its body covered in injuries from the scorching fire.
Tie Lu wanted to command the Black Wind Horse to get up, but the Black Wind Horse rolled on the ground in pain, even throwing Tie Lu off directly!
Meanwhile, Han Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance: "Metal conducts heat, a simple law of physics!"
Perhaps swords and knives couldn't do anything to the armor on Tie Lu and the Black Wind Horse, but brains could!
