"Besides, how are you going to stay safe once you return there?"

Although Guo Ye was worried about the safety of his uncle Tao Yungang, he couldn't just let Xu Ning die.

And in the bottom of Guo Ye's heart, he was very confident about Tao Yungang's skills.

This was not the first time Tao Yungang had been robbed. In the end, Tao Yungang had always escaped from danger.

This was the first time that Xu Ning had escorted carriages. Guo Ye was quite worried about Xu Ning's return trip.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not fight them hand to hand."

Xu Ning explained, "Just like what happened just now, as long as I don't make any sudden movements, they probably won't notice me. The guy found us just now because he was looking for our footprints.. Moreover, the horse bandits won't expect me to go back."

"But, what will change if you go back?"

Guo Ye was still trying to persuade Xu Ning.

Xu Ning went silent for a while before saying, "Guo Ye, although this is my first time escorting carriages, I think those bandits aren't normal bandits."

"You…"

Guo Ye saw how serious Xu Ning was.

"You told me that previous horse bandits that had gone after Uncle Gang were asking for money, right?"

Xu Ning stared at Guo Ye.

"Yes…"

Guo Ye paused, he obviously realized something.

"But this time, the other party called out Uncle Gang's name, and Uncle Gang recognized his past enemy among them. So obviously, this time, their purpose is not to ask for money, but to seek revenge. They want to take Uncle Gang's life. "

"These people have clearly figured out Uncle Gang's routine. This is a targeted robbery. These people want to make Uncle Gang suffer."

Xu Ning's words made Guo Ye's heart tense up.

Based on this analysis, the nature of this robbery was indeed different.

"Uncle Gang gave me 50 taels of silver as payment, and so I have to show that I'm worthy of it."

Xu Ning had made up his mind.

He was not a reckless man; he did not want to die. But after weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Xu Ning felt that he could find some opportunities to help Tao Yungang and the others, while also protecting himself.

If the situation turned for the worse, Xu Ning would not rush forward and sacrifice himself. He would seize the opportunity to use his abilities to change the situation.

1

Both his predecessor and himself had received help from Guo Ye, and Guo Ye could only do so after receiving consent from Tao Yungang.

Xu Ning would not be able to live with himself if he walked away and never looked back.

Additionally, there was one thing Xu Ning did not tell Guo Ye.

If the extreme situation really happened, Xu Ning did not want to leave their corpses behind.

Therefore, he must return.

"Xu Ning, you…"

After seeing Xu Ning's determination, Guo Ye clenched his fists.

He knew that this good friend of his was one worthy of sacrifice for.

Xu Ning had received help from Guo Ye and was willing to stand up for his family.

"Go ahead then."

Guo Ye had a complicated look on his face. He patted Xu Ning's shoulder. "You must come back to the village alive… Be careful."

"Okay."

Xu Ning nodded.

Guo Ye didn't wait around, and he soon got on the horse with his knife.

He knew that he was a burden.

Guo Ye grabbed the reins, looked back at Xu Ning, and rode away.

Xu Ning watched Guo Ye disappear from his field of vision before he turned around and began walking.

The sun was scorching hot.

The battle on the mountain roads continued.

There were many people lying down on the ground.

Most of them who were killed in battle were horse bandits, but three people from the Tao Village were on the ground, god only knew whether they were alive or dead.

Guan Yinggou and several subordinates circled Tao Yunquan and another Tao Village man, both of whom were covered with blood and wounds all over their bodies.

Tao Yungang himself was fighting one-on-one with Zhan Sandao.

Judging by the situation, there was not much difference between the strengths of the two. Zhan Sandao was also in inner enrichment and had an intermediate realm external skill, but his actual combat experience was obviously more abundant.

"Tao Yungang, you really do have some tricks up your sleeves, no wonder you took my brother's arm! When I slaughter you later, I will leave your body intact!"

Zhan Sandao was excited about the fight against Tao Yungang.

Tao Yungang did not answer Zhan Sandao. He tried his best to resist the attacks.

No one noticed that a person was sneaking down from one side of the mountain.

Xu Ning was cautious. Before taking a step, he observed everyone's field of vision and made sure that no one noticed him.

Soon, Xu Ning was behind a big tree on the side of the mountain road.

He was less than 50 meters from the battlefield.

"Sure enough, we are at a disadvantage."

Xu Ning closely observed the situation.

Three of their people had been taken down, Tao Yunmeng and the remaining others were also struggling to stay alive.

Obviously, they would soon be taken down as well.

"Give up, Tao Yungang."

Zhan Sandao had already dismounted. His machete slashes gave off a sharp metal clink sound.

Zhan Sandao's attacks were oppressive. Tao Yungang was forced to only defend.

'Am I going to be buried here today?'

Tao Yungang still seemed resolute on the outside, but on the inside, negative emotions were brewing in his heart.

He was in the medicinal materials business for more than ten years, and right now was the most dangerous situation he had ever been in.

"Ah!"

On the other side of the battle field, as Tao Yunquan's hand was cut off, he let out a painful cry.

2

"Yunquan!"

Tao Yungang was worried.

This slight window of opportunity was caught by Zhan Sandao.

Zhan Sandao cut off Tao Yungang's left arm, blood flowed everywhere.

Tao Yungang, who was heavily wounded, was forced to retreat step by step.

It just so happened that the direction Tao Yungang was forced to retreat to was towards the big tree where Xu Ning was hiding.

"They're coming…"

After waiting for a long time on the sidelines, Xu Ning seemed to have an opportunity to cut into the battlefield and change the situation.

Xu Ning adjusted his breathing, stabilized his mood, and put himself in a state of high concentration.

Zhan Sandao wounded Tao Yungang's shoulder with another slice.

Tao Yungang seemed to have reached a desperate situation.

"What a shame, this is it."

Tao Yungang glanced at the direction of the Tao Village.

He had a look of determination in his eyes.

"What?"

Zhan Sandao noticed this change. "Are you trying one last time before dying?"

Sure enough, when Tao Yungang attacked again, the direction of his knife was extremely precise.

He completely gave up his defenses and attacked forward.

Tao Yungang had more and more wounds on his body.

Finally, he leaned against a tree behind him. Tao Yungang had no place to retreat.

"You really are something."

After seeing Tao Yungang's final resistance, Zhan Sandao was quite impressed.

But this still didn't change the fact that he wanted to kill Tao Yungang.

Zhan Sandao raised his knife, about to take one final swing.

Just as Tao Yungang was waiting for his life to end, he suddenly saw Xu Ning's figure appear behind the big tree.

He jumped forward with knives in both hands.

"Xu Ning!?"

Tao Yungang's heart was shocked.

"Who is it?!"

As an inner enrichment warrior, Zhan Sandao sensed danger.

But his movements were still a little too slow, as he felt a blade pierced into the skin of his waist.

2

'I was too careless!'

Zhan Sandao was very anxious.

If there was a sneak attack, normally he would have sensed it in advance.

1

But his attention was all on Tao Yungang, and he also didn't expect anyone to ambush him.

Zhan Sandao's waist and abdomen were torn open, blood flowed across his body.

He saw the face of the attacker clearly.

"You!"

Zhan Sandao recognized that the sneak attacker was the young man with the knife who had escaped before.

"How dare you?!"

Zhan Sandao was in disbelief.

Not only did this young man defeat his capable subordinate, but he also returned to the battlefield with incomprehensible courage!

"You really are an inner enrichment warrior."

Xu Ning noticed the terrifying body of the inner enrichment warrior.

Xu Ning would have cut open the waist of any ordinary person.

But after piercing the skin, his blade was stuck in Zhan Sandao's muscles, making it difficult to slice through.

The body of an inner enrichment warrior was terrifying.

"Zhan Sandao, die!"

Tao Yungang saw the sudden change in the situation, so he instantly activated his battle spirit and became violent.

1

Tao Yungang went after Zhan Sandao with a stab.

1

Xu Ning did not retreat, instead he moved forward, slicing in the same place. Zhan Sandao was completely wounded.

1

Zhan Sandao waddled back and forth.

1

"Save… save me!"

Zhan Sandao began to cry for help, as he felt his life passing by.

But Tao Yungang didn't give him this opportunity. Tao Yungang concentrated his strength in one swing and sliced forward.

Zhan Sandao's head rolled off his body.
