Take Care

As Chu Qing observed, the tall woman had already flung the short person away.

This move was unavoidable for Chu Fan; he could only meet it head-on.

His hands bulged with blue veins, and without thinking, he unleashed the Tai Yi Divine Palm.

A bang sound was heard.

The tall woman, holding the short person, trembled slightly.

Chu Fan, on the other hand, retreated three to five steps, his face ashen.

The tall woman let out a hearty laugh:

"Do you submit?"

Chu Fan's face darkened, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth:

"Again!!"

"Good!"

Upon hearing Chu Fan's words, the tall woman's face immediately lit up with excitement:

"If you can't beat us, you'll kowtow and call us Big Brother!"

Chu Fan's expression grew even uglier at this, but he didn't respond.

It was clear he wasn't fully confident in his ability to win.

Chu Qing clicked his tongue in amazement.

Chu Fan, needless to say, possessed natural divine strength, and his sect was even more extraordinary.

Its founder was a legendary figure of the Jianghu, 'Ancestor Tai Yi'.

Because his talent was exceptional, he could learn and master any martial art instantly, and even extrapolate from it. He believed all martial arts in the world were nothing special, too easy.

His self-proclaimed title, 'Tai Yi', came from this.

Under the guise of Layman Tai Yi, he roamed the Jianghu for half his life. Not only did he survive, but he also founded the Taiyi Sect, which spoke volumes of his truly extraordinary martial arts.

Under Ancestor Tai Yi's leadership, the Taiyi Sect reached the pinnacle of the Jianghu.

After Ancestor Tai Yi's passing, the Taiyi Sect, though no longer in its prime, still stood firm after three hundred years of trials and tribulations.

This was mainly due to the three scrolls of the [Book of Unchanging Heaven] created by Ancestor Tai Yi.

It was rumored to be an earth-shattering, supreme art.

The [Tai Yi Divine Palm] and [Tai Yi Divine Fist] used by Chu Fan both originated from the [Human Scroll] within the Book of Unchanging Heaven.

In fact, for nearly a hundred years, no one had seen the martial arts from the [Earth Scroll].

Yet, the martial arts from just the [Human Scroll] were enough to make countless Jianghu experts hesitant to cause trouble at the Taiyi Sect's doorstep.

Although it now occupied a remote corner and was far from its former glory, no one was willing to provoke it.

With Chu Fan's talent and supreme skills, he had actually fallen into a disadvantage under the combined assault of these two women.

Was this not a bizarre turn of events?

"Is there truly always someone better?"

Chu Qing surveyed his surroundings:

"Where did Chu Fan's junior sister go?"

Recalling how she had appeared beside him silently in the tea house earlier, Chu Qing dared not underestimate her. If she were here, perhaps his 'cheap' second brother wouldn't be bullied by two women?

Facing this situation, if he acted by surprise, could he succeed in assassinating the remaining two Iron Horse Seven Bandits?

After observing for a moment, Chu Qing shook his head slightly:

"Their vigilance is too high. I need an opportunity. Otherwise, even if I kill one, killing the other will be fraught with variables.

"And judging by these two's stance, they look ready to bolt at any moment?"

These two members of the Iron Horse Seven Bandits were not the main combatants in this battle. They roamed the periphery, exchanging glances occasionally, and would quickly retreat at the slightest carelessness.

They looked as if they were ready to escape at any moment.

Chu Qing pondered, the opportunity wasn't hard to find.

In his view, there were currently two opportunities.

One was the head of the Iron Horse Seven Bandit he had just killed. If it were sent back by horse, it would undoubtedly disrupt the situation.

Secondly, the junior sister who had disappeared somewhere was also an opportunity.

If she appeared and joined forces with Chu Fan to deal with the two women, leaving them no time for anything else, then his assassination attempt could succeed.

Judging by the time, that horse should have returned by now...

As expected, not long after, as Chu Fan exchanged two or three more rounds with the two women, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from afar.

The two Iron Horse Seven Bandits immediately perked up:

"Fifth Brother is here!!"

The two immediately looked toward the sound of hooves, and even Chu Fan couldn't help but be drawn in by the noise.

The tall woman chuckled, "More people are coming? How interesting!"

Immediately after, the short woman spoke, "Don't just mess around."

"Got it."

Their brief exchange left Chu Qing stunned.

So they didn't even know the Iron Horse Seven Bandits' background?

How could they have fought Chu Fan then?

Chu Qing had initially thought these two women were an ambush set up by the Iron Horse Seven Bandits.

Now it seemed... was it just a coincidence? Was Chu Fan just unlucky and ran into some lunatics?

No wonder the remaining Iron Horse Seven Bandits seemed so eager to escape; they didn't even know each other.

And just as everyone expected, a horse quickly approached.

There was someone on the horse... a woman.

She wasn't old, dressed similarly to Chu Fan, her expression blank, as if the whole world owed her money.

"Junior Sister Wen, help me!!"

Upon seeing her, Chu Fan was overjoyed.

Without bothering to question how his Junior Sister Wen ended up riding one of the Iron Horse Seven Bandits' horses, he called out.

Junior Sister Wen didn't hesitate. With a slight push of her foot, she leaped forward, but first, she flung something towards the Iron Horse Seven Bandits.

She moved so fast that the remaining two of the Iron Horse Seven Bandits didn't dare to catch it with their bare hands.

The leader, a Great Thief, swung the battle axe in his hand and cleaved down.

With a swish, the object was split in two, scattering red and white matter everywhere.

For a moment, everyone present was dumbfounded, their movements faltering.

Chu Fan instinctively asked, "Junior Sister Wen, what was that?"

"A head," Junior Sister Wen replied in her usual monotone voice.

"Where did you get it?"

"Found it."

Concise, not a wasted word.

As she finished speaking, the tall woman held up a strip of cloth and read aloud, "Iron Horse Seven Bandits, murderers who fill the fields, their crimes deserve death—Night Emperor, who is the Night Emperor?"

She asked directly, but no one could answer.

The short woman, however, spoke coldly, "Iron Horse Seven Bandits, their crimes deserve death?"

As soon as she said this, the leader of the Iron Horse Seven Bandits, who had been shocked into silence moments before, suddenly pointed at Chu Fan and Junior Sister Wen and roared, "Yes, they are the Iron Horse Seven Bandits!"

Chu Fan was furious, "What nonsense are you spouting? Who are the Iron Horse Seven Bandits!"

"Naturally, it's you!"

The leader of the Iron Horse Seven Bandits said matter-of-factly, "Look at the Divine Steed your junior sister is riding; if it's not you, who else could be the Iron Horse Seven Bandits? Two heroines, we have been pursued by these Iron Horse Seven Bandits with no escape, please help us."

"Alright, alright! I love fighting the most, oh wait, I love saving people the most. Iron Horse Seven Bandits, take this!!"

The tall woman cheered and charged towards Chu Fan.

Chu Fan had a million things he wanted to say, but this woman was unreasonable, so he could only quickly engage her.

Junior Sister Wen could have explained, but her eccentric nature led her to remain silent, directly joining Chu Fan as they fought the two women.

The remaining two Iron Horse Seven Bandits exchanged glances, leaped into the air simultaneously, and landed on the horse. The leader whistled, and two swift horses immediately galloped over. They followed behind them, galloping away.

He didn't forget to say, "Our martial arts are weak, we can't help the two heroines. We'll take our leave now. Heroines, take care!"

By this point, even an idiot would have realized something was wrong.

However, the tall woman showed no sign of noticing and simply waved at them, "Take care!"
