The rest of the group swiftly huddled together, using the carriages as cover.
The guards unsheathed their weapons, forming a disciplined defensive formation…
The ambushers, dozens in number, cursed their ill luck!
What kind of fortune was this? A successful ambush should have capitalized on catching their prey unawares. But now, due to this series of movements and commotions, even if the other party hadn’t detected them, they must be on high alert, rendering the element of surprise obsolete.
“Attack!”
One can only imagine the shock and frustration coursing through the leader’s veins. With a resounding battle cry, he brandished his gleaming machete and led the charge.
The others, similarly aggrieved and incensed, joined the chorus of war cries, drawing their weapons and charging forward.
“Charge!”
“Take them down!”
“Engage!”
Qiao Xuan once again activated her superpower, causing a few of the attackers to stumble carelessly, tripping over stones or vines in their rush, letting out cries as they tumbled forward. Some fared even worse, colliding with rocks, nearly shattering their knees, tears streaming from the pain.
Onlookers, the brothers included, halted in their tracks, bewildered by the scene that unfolded.
Wasn’t this a bit too clumsy? How could they be so careless? It seemed like an ill omen!
The assailants grew even more impatient and enraged.
As they charged forth, impatience colored their approach.
When Sun Bai, Sun Qian, and their comrades witnessed this formidable horde charging like a pack of wolves and tigers, bellowing and eager for combat, they remained resolute, though not particularly surprised.
As they navigated the Black Tiger Forest, their senses remained keen, anticipating that something might occur within its shadowy depths. Now, with the impending threat finally manifesting, they were not only shocked but also felt a sense of readiness.
Upon witnessing the charging adversaries, Sun Bai’s lips curled into a cold smile, and he bellowed, “Prepare to engage!” Leading the guards, he lunged forward to confront their opponents.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan occupied separate carriages, necessitating that Sun Bai and the others relay information to him, rendering Qiao Xuan’s presence potentially inconvenient.
Shao Yunduan disembarked from the wagon and approached Qiao Xuan’s carriage.
“My love, fear not. The assailants are not numerous. I believe Sun Bai, Sun Qian, and their team can handle them.”
Ah Ze, without engaging the enemy directly, stood guard at Qiao Xuan’s carriage alongside seven or eight other guards, keenly observing the unfolding battle.
Qiao Xuan, struggling to complete her task due to her dwindling energy, displayed a pale countenance when Shao Yunduan approached. Misinterpreting her demeanor as fear, he sought to console her.
Observing the battle and noticing Sun Bai, Sun Qian, and their comrades effectively holding their ground, Qiao Xuan withdrew her power, mustering a forced smile in Shao Yunduan’s embrace. “I’m not frightened. I trust Guard Sun. Please don’t worry, my dear.”
Shao Yunduan whispered, “I’m here for you.”
Qiao Xuan smiled, gradually regaining her composure.
The skirmish continued for about half an hour. Evidently, the assailants were aware of Shao Yunduan’s location and attempted to approach the carriage, but were thwarted by the staunch resistance from Sun Qian and his team.
Observing that while the guards grew bolder in their defense, they also incurred significant casualties, the leader sounded a whistle. In the blink of an eye, the assailants dispersed, vanishing from the scene.
