PNB Chapter 65 Persistence
Chapter 65 Persistence
On a rural road, four vehicles were speeding along.
Behind them in the car, four men dressed in black were chasing them.
Xiaoman looked behind her and knew she couldn't let them keep chasing her, or it would attract a huge crowd.
Xiaoman was the first to react: "You guys go first, I'll go stop them."
After saying that, he used his light-footed skill to jump off the cart, and Shizi followed him down.
Seeing that Shi Zi had also come down, he immediately asked, "Why did you come down?"
"Hmph... I will not give you the title of ever-victorious general."
After hearing this, Xiaoman was still complaining to herself about Shizi, "You have the title of Grand Commander, yet you're trying to steal my title of Ever-Victorious General."
"Alright, we won't let the name of Zhao Zilong of Changshan be buried."
Then the two of them used their lightness skills to rush forward at the same time, one against two.
Xiaohe saw the stones going down from the car and wanted to follow, but an auntie stopped her.
"Xiaohe, I know you want to help. But you can't go, you're all alone now."
"If something happens to you, how will you face your parents after your aunt dies? Let your aunt be a little selfish," an aunt advised Xiaohe.
"Auntie, but Xiaoman and the others are..."
Before Xiaohe could continue speaking, she was hugged by this aunt.
"Xiao He, those two are men now. They fought to protect us, so let's not hold them back."
Listen to your aunt, stay and protect the rest. That way, their sacrifice won't be in vain.
Hearing her aunt say that, Xiaohe looked at the people in the car and agreed.
"Auntie, I understand. Shui'er, Datou, and I will protect you."
Xiao He looked firmly in the direction of Shi Zi and Xiao Man and said.
Xiaoman and Shizi's swords were moving faster and faster, almost creating sword shadows.
Sujia Village.
Shanzi, Linhe, and Afu are all in a one-on-two situation, while Xiaolie is in a one-on-three situation.
Not far away, Xiaoyue had already killed two people; she had just narrowly escaped being stabbed in the chest by Lord Ye's sword.
Xiaoyue glanced at Lord Ye with lingering fear, and at the same time launched another attack on the other three.
She nimbly dodged the attacks, her longsword striking out swiftly like a venomous snake, and in the blink of an eye, another person fell to the ground.
Lord Ye bypassed her and attacked her back again from behind.
Xiaoyue, unaware of what had happened, had her back turned into her front, and used her sword to deflect Lord Ye's short sword.
Suddenly, Lord Ye launched three hidden weapons at Xiaoyue, who used her lightness skill to quickly deflect them with her sword.
Then I quickly dodged away, feeling a lingering fear in my heart.
She secretly rejoiced that she was agile enough, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Meanwhile, Shanzi and his companions gradually gained the upper hand in their battle against the enemy.
(On the surface, Shanzi has the upper hand, but in reality, he is experiencing mixed feelings.)
As time went on, the number of enemies decreased, but Shanzi's strength gradually ran out.
Finally, Shanzi successfully killed an enemy, but he became even more exhausted and stumbled to the side.
His unsteady gait showed that he had reached a dead end.
Xiao Lie caught a glimpse of Shan Zi retreating to the side, and he knew that Shan Zi was no longer able to fight.
Suddenly, he unleashed a palm strike, sending one of the assassins in front of him staggering backward.
The assassin was caught off guard by Xiao Lie's sudden change of tactics, completely unprepared for such an unexpected turn of events.
He was injured, staggered back a few steps, and temporarily lost his fighting ability.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lie thrust his sword into the throat of another assassin without hesitation.
The assassin reacted quickly, blocking Xiao Lie's attack with his sword and retreating to a safe distance.
Seeing that the two of them had left, Xiao Lie immediately leaped to Shanzi's side and asked with concern:
"Shanzi, how are you? Are you hurt?" His tone was full of worry and anxiety.
Before Shanzi could answer, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"I'm fine, I can still manage."
Shanzi answered Xiaolie listlessly.
At this moment, Lin He also noticed the situation on Shanzi's side and knew that they were in a bad situation. He was extremely anxious and his actions became increasingly frantic.
The more anxious he became, the more chaotic his moves became, and the more openings he revealed.
Just then, an assassin seized the opportunity and stabbed Lin He in the chest with his sword.
Lin He reacted quickly, kicking the assassin away, but this action also exposed his body to the attack range of the second assassin.
The second assassin seized the opportunity and slashed with his sword, leaving a deep wound on Lin He's shoulder.
Daya was in a similar sorry state, covered in dust and blood, and swaying precariously, clearly on the verge of collapse.
Facing two opponents, she appeared to be struggling greatly, with almost no ability to fight back. She could barely defend herself and had no time to care about anyone else.
Meanwhile, the battle between Da Mao and the man in black had also reached a fever pitch.
Both men bore sword wounds of varying degrees, with Da Mao's injuries being more severe than his opponent's.
“I know…you…huff…you came…you came…to slaughter Su Family Village because of Xiao Ya’s matter.”
I... just want to know, how is Xiao Yaru now... oh... how is she now?"
Da Mao asked breathlessly, his voice filled with urgency and worry.
Da Mao, panting heavily, asked the man in black in broken sentences.
"Kid, you're pretty good. You've actually been hiding such strong abilities."
"You've fought the Fifth Assassin of the Shadows for so long, you have something to be proud of."
The Fifth Wolf of Shadows praised Big Hair, seemingly ignoring the question.
"Huff...huff...you tell me...Little Ya...huff...how is Little Ya now?"
Despite being out of breath, Da Mao persisted in asking about the assassin Xiao Ya in front of him.
"Kid, I have to commend you. If you had grown up, I might not have been your match. But you can rest in peace now."
After saying this, the fifth assassin of the Shadows, Wolf, raised his sword without hesitation and charged straight at Da Mao.
In that brief moment, Da Mao's brain worked at lightning speed.
He knew he could not escape death, so he prepared to sacrifice himself.
Da Mao watched helplessly as the wolf's sword came hurtling towards him, but made no move to resist.
The sharp tip of the sword pierced through Da Mao's chest and emerged from behind.
Surprisingly, however, Da Mao did not show any sign of pain on his face.
On the contrary, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, as if he were relieved and content.
Just then, Da Mao suddenly used all his strength and charged forward with his whole body.
His left hand gripped the wolf's right hand tightly, while his right hand raised the sword and thrust it toward the wolf's chest.
Unfortunately, it all fell short in the end. Da Mao's sword merely grazed the wolf's shoulder, failing to deliver a fatal blow.
Upon seeing this, the wolf immediately reacted and mercilessly kicked out, striking Da Mao hard in the chest.
Da Mao's body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashed heavily into the wall, and then slid down.
As Da Mao lay on the ground, the image of his younger brother, Da Tou, flashed through his mind.
His heart was filled with worry: "I wonder how he is now? Is he in danger...? Brother, I'll go first... Don't bother... avenging me."
Da Mao, unwilling to accept the passage of time, fell into eternal sleep. In his final moments, he thought of the safety of his only remaining younger brother.
If even the younger brother dies, the Cai family will have no successor.
The fifth assassin in the Shadow Realm, Lord Wolf, was also terrified by him.
This is the first time I've encountered someone who would choose to die together with another since I entered the Shadowlands.
Luckily, I reacted quickly, otherwise there would be two of us lying on the ground now.
