.......
However, the most eye-catching thing was the two simple wooden houses in the middle. One was more feminine and clean, while the other was dilapidated and overgrown with weeds. It was probably not lived in for a long time.
" Found it! That's the place!" Ying Zheng was overjoyed. He brought the two girls and ran over. When he got closer, he realized that something was wrong. There was blood on the ground, and not only that, there were also a few corpses of Jianghu people lying in the wooden house.
"How did this happen? Could it be that Li Ji was in trouble?" Ying Zheng examined the wound on one of the corpses, and found that it was caused by the Gongsun Sword Art. Although the wound was neat and tidy, there were some tiny remnants on it due to the lack of speed.
It seemed that it was Li Ji who killed him. As for why Jing Ke was not found, he did not know. He was anxious and quickly followed the messy footsteps.
The two of them exchanged a glance, then followed closely behind him like a shadow. Everything that happened here was nothing to them, but to Ying Zheng, it meant something completely different.
At this moment, in an open area, a group fight was taking place. Five men and a woman were fighting each other, and there were constant sounds of weapons colliding and sparks flying. The key was that the five men were attacking a weak woman.
The besieged woman was naturally Li Ji, whom Ying Zheng had been looking for. At this moment, she was holding a baby that was only a few months old in her left hand, and a bronze sword that she had snatched from the enemy in her right hand.
" Little beauty, I advise you to give up struggling and give in obediently. We can still treat you with tenderness. If you continue to resist, don't blame us for being ruthless," one of the people who surrounded Li Ji teased. It was obvious that he had taken a fancy to Li Ji.
Another person added with a lewd smile,"Hey, hey, hey ~ Third Brother, how can you say that? You dare to hit such a delicate beauty? Be careful, I'll chop you up!"
" Humph!" One of the middle-aged men seemed to be more mature than them, so he reprimanded them," You two brats only know women. Women! Although this woman is as beautiful as a flower and jade, she is the person that King Qi wants. If you dare to touch her, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences."
"Big brother, that's not right. This woman killed our brothers who risked their lives. Shouldn't we take revenge?”A perverted man with sharp hair and a sharp mouth retorted.
" Sixth Brother is right. After we catch her, we brothers have to enjoy ourselves. Otherwise, how can we face our dead brothers?" A man said as he increased his attack on Li Ji.
"Bah! You despicable people only dare to bully a weak girl like me. If Senior Martial Brother and Brother Qin were here, you would still be alive!" Li Ji had to block the fierce attacks of the five people with one hand and protect the baby. It was really hard for her to say.
If he didn't have the baby, even if he couldn't defeat the five of them, it wouldn't be a problem for him to escape, right? If Shixiong was here, this wouldn't have happened. Or perhaps it was that Big Brother Qin who left without saying goodbye.
In fact, after Ying Zheng had a heart-to-heart talk with Jing Ke that day, he had completely changed his attitude towards Li Ji. Every day, he would either practice his swordsmanship, meditate and comprehend the Dao, or eat and sleep. He had never once asked about Li Ji.
Not only that, when they settled down on that plain, Jing Ke had even separated the two of them. In fact, it was to avoid thinking about Li Ji, which would slow down his enlightenment.
However, everything changed in Li Ji's eyes. At first, she could still see him and talk to him, but after a few months, he was basically like a stranger. He didn't even look at her, so she could only secretly watch him practice his sword.
Finally, Jing Ke began to travel far away. He wanted to find the famous swordsmen of the Qi State to exchange blows. This trip would basically last for a month, or even two months.
However, a few months ago, Jing Ke came back with an injured baby in his arms. He didn't even say anything. After entrusting the baby to Li Ji, he went out again a few days later, so Li Ji was already numb to it.
"Brothers, this little lady is about to die. Work harder…"
The five of them began to attack Li Ji with all their might. They slashed up, stabbed down, and cut left. All of them attacked her body. Now, they didn't care about being asked to capture her and report back. They only felt that it was worth it to die for this fairy's body.
Now that the opportunity was right in front of them, how could they not go crazy?
After all, Li Ji was a weak woman, and her Gongsun Sword Art had only reached the initial success stage. Fortunately, these people were all good-for-nothings and weren't very powerful. Otherwise, he would have fallen into their hands long ago.
Coupled with the shameless attacks of these perverts, her right hand gradually became weak and began to feel powerless. Finally, a careless mistake allowed the other party to take advantage of the gap. She had just blocked the attacks of the other four people, but she did not expect that a man's big copper saber had already closed in on her by less than three inches.
" Ah!" Li Ji exclaimed. It was too late for her to defend herself with her copper sword. She quickly retreated. She thought that the crisis was over, but the other four people had already reacted and attacked her.
If he was hit, his skin would definitely be torn open. Perhaps he was too anxious, so he did not care about the beauty and wanted to bring down this fairy.
At this moment, Li Ji's tears were rolling down her face. Why didn't her senior brother come out to save her? Did he forget about her?
Yes, that must be the case. Otherwise, why would he be so cold to her? Perhaps her senior brother had found his true love outside, perhaps... The child in his hands was his senior brother's.
At this moment of crisis, Ying Zheng finally arrived at this place with the help of the footprints they had left behind. What he saw was a scene that made him furious.
He gritted his teeth so hard that the sound of " Luo Luo " could be heard. He released all of his internal energy and pulled out the Sky Asking Sword. He rushed to Liji like a gust of wind and slashed at her mercilessly.
The five of them only felt a strong gust of wind, and then saw a sword shadow that was as smooth as snow cut across their necks. Their hands stopped moving because they realized that their brains could no longer control their hands and feet.
At this moment, they were afraid. The fear in their eyes and the shock in their mouths indicated that they had seen something unbelievable.
Tears welled up in Lizzie's eyes. She felt a black shadow appear in front of her. Then, the big copper sabers that were about to hit her stopped moving. The surrounding plants and trees quickly retreated in her eyes. When she stopped, she found that she was already far away from the five people.
