The moonlight was hazy, gradually obscured by clouds.
"Hunt!" You Muxuan raised her curved saber high and shouted.
"Oooh!!~~" The heavily armored cavalrymen rose from their saddles one after another, drawing their longbows.
Arrows were nocked and bowstrings drawn. The purple scale-like patterns on the bows gradually spread and expanded like serpent scales.
"Loose!!" You Muxuan viciously swung her saber down and pointed.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
Arrows, accompanied by the twang of bowstrings, thudded toward Wan Ling and her daughter, who had been beaten into helplessness in the river.
The arrows tore through the air with shrill whistles. The first arrow plunged into the water.
Boom!
Though it was clearly a sharp weapon entering water, it exploded like a bomb, sending up a huge spray.
Wan Qingqing was already injured, and with more than ten arrows trained on her, her situation became even more difficult.
She dodged left and right, but was still struck in the left leg.
The protective force around her left leg was blasted apart again. Her thigh became a bloody mess, and searing pain flooded her entire body.
These arrows were not ordinary arrows at all. They carried some sort of explosive device.
"Qingqing!!" A figure suddenly charged over from the other side, splashing up great waves.
It was Wan Ling!
She grabbed Wan Qingqing and shoved her down into the water.
"Move underwater!"
The two immediately dove down, held their breath, and submerged.
The river surface instantly erupted in dense curtains of spray. Great numbers of spiked bullets pierced the water, their power weakened somewhat by the resistance.
Wan Ling and Wan Qingqing dived rapidly to the riverbed, then swam in another direction.
"Trying to run?" You Muxuan sneered and beckoned with one hand.
A hawk with blackish-purple feathers swooped down from the night
