You must know that Second Master of the Li Family is a martial artist in the Innate Realm, and his strength has reached the sixth level of the Inner Qi Realm.
While such strength may not be the absolute peak in Pingfeng City, it still makes him one of the top powerhouses. How could he suddenly be so severely injured?
However, now is not the time to ponder this. It's best to get back safely first.
At this moment, Uncle Li suppressed the doubts in his heart and said in a deep voice, "So what? Our Li Family has stood for hundreds of years, how can it be affected by just one Inner Qi Realm martial artist?"
"If you leave now, I can pretend that nothing has happened."
"Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite. Besides, destroying you is nothing to us."
"Haha, you're still dreaming."
After Blood Wolf let out a cold laugh, he suddenly became ferocious and said with murderous intent, "Don't even think about it. Since we're here today, we never intended to let you leave here alive."
"Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, the person in that carriage is your Li Family's Eldest Young Lady!"
"Just in time, my eighteenth wife died a few days ago. How about using her as my nineteenth bandit queen?"
"Brother Wolf has good fortune!"
Pang Feilong beside him couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm not interested in that, but what I care more about is the Innate Cultivation Method."
"We can all share it later. As long as we unite and break through to the Innate Realm, what is the Li Family then?"
"Indeed, Brother Feilong speaks the truth."
"I say, stop wasting words with them and just kill them."
"Honestly, I'm already a little impatient."
At this moment, the several bandit chiefs beside them were clearly unrestrained and extremely arrogant, acting as if they had them cornered.
After all, their side had a large number of people, more than several times the number of the merchant caravan.
Furthermore, there were many veteran Blood Changing Realm martial artists, and Blood Wolf himself had recently broken through to the third level of the Inner Qi Realm. How could the opponents possibly be a match for their side?
The battle was on the verge of erupting, and it was clearly unavoidable.
With Blood Wolf's command, he personally led the charge, killing his way over and heading straight for Uncle Li.
Seeing this, he clenched his spear in his hand and engaged without hesitation.
"Bang."
"Bang."
"Bang."
At this moment, Uncle Li held his spear like a seasoned general, sweeping across all directions, his spear thrusts like dragons.
But the Blood Wolf opposite him showed no fear, wielding a Nine-Ringed Saber that was unstoppable. With every swing, it seemed to bring forth waves of blood-red light.
The intense collisions were deafening, and neither side gave an inch, with every move aimed at taking the opponent's life.
In addition, all the other bandits joined the fight.
Although the guards on the Li Family's merchant caravan were strong, all being martial artists in the Bone Refining and Viscera Refining Realms, they were clearly no match for the opponents in terms of Blood Changing Realm martial artists. Coupled with the numerical disadvantage, they were clearly being pushed back repeatedly.
After all, the Blood Changing Realm martial artists charging into the guard team were like wolves entering a flock of sheep.
At this moment, Bai Ze had already drawn his long sword and, like others who had temporarily joined the merchant caravan, was assisting the guards in fending off the bandits' attacks.
Just then, a bandit rushed in from the side. As he was about to kill him, Old Wang next to him rushed out and forcefully chopped off the bandit's head with his saber.
He reminded, "Young Bai, don't charge forward. Quickly retreat and defend together."
"As long as that Uncle Li finishes his fight, the remaining bandits, no matter how many, will be nothing to fear."
"Okay."
Hearing this, Bai Ze did not refuse and flashed back.
Even if the other party hadn't intervened just now, he could have dealt with it easily.
Watching the retreating guard team, the defensive circle shrunk inward once more.
Regardless, the key to this battle still lay in the outcome of the fight between Uncle Li and Blood Wolf.
Just then, a figure leaped out from the carriage in the middle, moving with incredible speed.
At this moment, Bai Ze also saw this. It was the Li Family's Eldest Young Lady, Li Qiuyu.
She was dressed in white, her long hair flowing in the wind, her beauty like a masterpiece carved by nature.
The long sword in her hand moved unpredictably, like an immortal descending to the mortal world, dancing amidst the crowd.
But every sword strike brought forth blood, reaping the lives of the enemies before her.
At this moment, Bai Ze saw this and thought to himself, "A Blood Changing Realm martial artist."
"How is it, isn't she exceptionally beautiful?"
Old Wang, who was beside him, also saw this and couldn't help but tease.
As he spoke, he struck down an attacker who rushed towards him.
After all, most of the bandits were being held off by the guards, so the pressure on them wasn't great for the moment.
But as time went on, the number of guards rapidly decreased during the fierce fighting, and they inevitably suffered casualties.
Hearing this, Bai Ze calmly glanced at the other person, nodded, and expressionlessly swung his long sword, piercing the chest of the person before him.
However, Old Wang seemed to suddenly remember something and said with a smile, "The Eldest Young Lady I mentioned isn't Li Qiuyu; she wasn't even born then."
"But you don't need to worry. I've been through situations like this many times, and there won't be any problems."
"I hope so."
Hearing this, Bai Ze responded dismissively, then nervously focused on the battle on the other side.
If the Li Family's caravan couldn't hold on and was defeated, he would also not hesitate to seize the opportunity to leave.
After all, whether it was the Li Family's caravan or the beautiful Eldest Young Lady, they were nothing more than fleeting clouds to him.
"No, it's not safe here. Let's retreat further inside."
"Go over there. With the Eldest Young Lady there, the defense is stronger."
"Okay."
Hearing this, Bai Ze didn't object and followed along after nodding.
After all, many martial artists far stronger than him had perished without a trace, and it wasn't without reason that he, with his early Viscera Refining Realm strength, had managed to survive for so many years.
Although he seemed a bit chatty normally, Bai Ze had discovered that during battles, the other party had mastered the art of fishing in troubled waters to the fullest extent.
His main principle was stability; he would definitely dodge if he could, unless absolutely necessary.
Just like now, he moved towards wherever was relatively safer.
At this moment, Bai Ze also had no intention of revealing his true strength.
He wouldn't be like those in some novels, casually displaying his power to save the day and win the favor of a beautiful woman.
If you had the absolute strength to turn the tide, that would be one thing, but if you didn't, you'd just be a complete idiot!
Moreover, the critical battle ahead was still uncertain. What if Uncle Li lost?
If that happened, he would have already drawn attention and would face numerous Blood Changing Realm martial artists, or even Innate Realm martial artists. Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?
Although Bai Ze was very confident in his own strength, he wasn't so confident that he could kill an Innate Realm martial artist.
