421: Destined Destination

Uncle Zhang shook his head, a pained expression on his face.

His strength was formidable; if he hadn't been injured, that Black-Clothed Man wouldn't have been able to kill him.

But now, Uncle Zhang's internal organs were severely wounded, and he was at the end of his tether.

"Uncle Zhang, hold on, we'll get you out of here right away!" Yue Xiaojie said anxiously.

Uncle Zhang waved his hand, weakly saying, "Xiaojie, I can't go on. You all should leave quickly!"

Uncle Zhang's eyes gradually dimmed, and then he fell to the ground, no longer breathing.

"No, it can't be, Uncle Zhang will be fine!" Yue Xiaojie cried out.

Zhou Xun shook his head and said, "Xiaojie, you should quickly take Uncle Zhang and leave! It's not safe here; they set this up early to wait for us, so we can't stay any longer."

"But, but..." Yue Xiaojie hesitated.

Zhou Xun said, "Xiaojie, don't worry, we can protect ourselves. You two hurry up and go!"

Seeing Zhou Xun say this, Yue Xiaojie couldn't help but grit her teeth and say, "Alright then, I'll take Uncle Zhang and leave first."

After Yue Xiaojie finished speaking, she helped Uncle Zhang turn around and walked deeper into the valley.

"Chen Brother, let's go too," Zhou Xun said.

"Okay." Chen Tianming nodded.

They didn't care about anything else and immediately rushed into the valley; this was their only retreat.

But just as Chen Tianming and the others had taken a few steps, they heard the sound of something breaking through the air from ahead.

Zhou Xun looked up and saw a black sharp arrow suddenly appear ahead, flying towards them.

"Not good, it's a hidden weapon."

Chen Tianming was startled.

"I'm really fed up with this place, where do all these hidden weapons come from!"

They hurriedly dodged to the side, but they were still a step too late. The sharp arrow grazed their cheeks, leaving a bloody mark.

"Pfft."

The sharp arrow pierced Zhou Xun's left shoulder.

"Ah."

Zhou Xun cried out in pain, then slumped to the ground.

Chen Tianming quickly said, "Xiaoxun, hurry and treat your wounds, don't worry about me, I'm fine!"

"Chen Brother, we should quickly get you out of here. There's no point in you staying." Zhou Xun gritted his teeth, continuously circulating his energy to heal his wounds.

He was extremely furious now; these Black-Clothed Men were too vicious. They actually ambushed them when they weren't aware, trying to kill them.

If they hadn't dodged just now, they would have been shot into sieves by these hidden weapons.

Damn it!

Zhou Xun cursed the assassins who attacked them in the dark.

If he caught these people, he would definitely make them pay a price!

"Swish, swish, swish."

Those hidden weapons shot over again. Zhou Xun quickly took out silver needles and aimed at them.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Zhou Xun continuously shot out several silver needles, deflecting those hidden weapons.

But at this moment, dozens of figures rushed out from the forest ahead.

Those people, armed with long swords, surrounded Zhou Xun and his companions.

"Zhou Xun, we meet again." Li Qi walked out with a smile.

Behind him followed seven or eight martial artists carrying long sabers, each of them very formidable.

And on a tree in front, there stood a man, who was the commander of these people, completely different from the previous one.

"Li Qi?" Chen Tianming was stunned.

As someone who had come to Black City for the first time, he indeed didn't have any special understanding of this.

It's just that I feel this name is slightly familiar, but I can't find the corresponding one from the depths of my memory.

Chen Tianming was also stunned, "Li Qi?"

"Hmph, that's right, it's me!" Li Qi snorted coldly.

Chen Tiantao asked, "Why are you chasing us?"

"Hehehe, of course, we're here to eliminate you." Li Qi smiled sinisterly.

Zhou Xun said, "Aren't you afraid of doing something wrong by doing this?"

Li Qi laughed, "Zhou Xun, this world values strength. If your strength is greater than ours, you're the boss. What do you think we should do?"

Chen Tianming angrily said, "Li Qi, don't go too far."

"Chen Brother, this world values strength. No matter who is strong, as long as you have strength, you are the boss, do you understand?" Li Qi looked at Chen Tianming with disdain.

"Hmph, don't be arrogant. We are not soft persimmons; you won't even touch a single hair on us." Zhou Xun stared coldly at Li Qi.

Li Qi said, "Hehehe, it seems you're quite stubborn."

After speaking, Li Qi shouted to the martial arts experts behind him, "Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

"Yes, boss." Those martial arts experts immediately rushed forward.

They all revealed their weapons and attacked Zhou Xun and his companions.

Seeing this, Yue Xiaojie quickly said, "Chen Brother, I'll help you."

After speaking, Chen Tianming also rushed over.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The combat power of these people is not low. It seems they can't escape from the hands of these assassins; they can only fight for their lives.

Zhou Xun fended off Li Qi's attacks while taking out silver needles to deal with the surrounding hidden weapons.

However, there were too many hidden weapons, and Chen Tiantao and the others found it difficult to defend.

And they were also severely wounded. Before long, Chen Tiantao and Chen Tianfan were hit by hidden weapons.

They cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

"Hahahaha." Li Qi laughed triumphantly.

Chen Tianming and his companions were no match for them; with one strike each, they would surely die.

Li Qi looked at Zhou Xun and said, "Zhou Xun, you should die too. Anyway, you're just a burden alive, so you might as well obediently die."

"Whoosh."

As soon as Li Qi's words fell, a hidden weapon shot towards Zhou Xun.

"Swish."

That hidden weapon, as fast as lightning, struck Zhou Xun's body.

"Bang."

The hidden weapon pierced Zhou Xun's right arm, and blood gushed out, staining her clothes, looking horrifying.

However, the hidden weapon did not hit her vital points.

"Thud."

The hidden weapon fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

"Hahahaha, I told you, your speed is too slow. We can easily kill you." Li Qi laughed triumphantly.

Zhou Xun's injuries became more and more severe. She swayed, her eyes filled with despair.

Seeing that Zhou Xun was about to collapse, Chen Tianming thought for a moment and rushed towards her.

Zhou Xun quickly shouted, "Chen Tianming, don't be reckless, you're no match for them."

"It's alright, I will kill Li Qi!" Chen Tianming gritted his teeth and said.

Although he had been fighting Zhou Xun for a long time, the opponent's strength was terrifying.

And with so many experts following them, they simply couldn't win.

"Yue Xiaojie and the others have probably left; why don't we retreat now!"

Zhou Xun quietly said that his injuries could not be ignored and continuing to fight would definitely not work. He even felt that he would become the next Wu Wenlong!

Perhaps this was their destiny.

What else could people like them look forward to besides death?!
