Swish! Swish!

The two figures darted through the forest and mountains in silence.

At this moment, Li Guanqi extended his Divine Sense, trying to avoid the low-level demon beasts that were already asleep.

However, the woman’s cries were as conspicuous as a beacon in the dark!

Li Guanqi could even sense that some of the demon beasts around them were beginning to stir.

He couldn’t help but curse under his breath, “Damn it, if this keeps up, all the demon beasts in the mountains will be awakened by her!”

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the woman was fleeing along the path right behind them.

Her heart-wrenching cries echoed continuously through the night-covered mountains!

“Help! Is there anyone who can save me?!”

“Somebody, please! Ah!”

The woman’s voice was very clear, sounding quite young.

Even from a distance, Ye Feng could sense that her strength wasn’t weak; she was at least a half-step into the Golden Elixir Realm.

Moreover, even from this far away, the two of them could faintly smell a hint of blood.

That kind of fluctuation was unmistakably the blood escape technique!

This secret technique was usually a last resort, rarely used unless absolutely necessary.

After all, this escape method couldn’t be maintained for long. Once the time limit of the secret technique expired, it would almost certainly mean death.

Ye Feng frowned and transmitted his voice, “Boss, are we just going to leave like this?”

Li Guanqi squinted his eyes slightly and shook his head with a sigh upon hearing this.

“Don’t meddle in others’ affairs; their target might be us.”

Ye Feng was momentarily stunned by these words and said with a puzzled frown, “No way? In this desolate place, how could we be their target when we have no grudges with them?”

“Boss, are you overthinking this?”

Li Guanqi simply dragged him and flashed to the treetop of a towering ancient tree, concealing their presence.

Seeing that he was about to speak again, Li Guanqi covered his mouth.

“Shh!”

Sure enough!

Moments later, a blood-soaked woman in tattered clothes darted past beneath them!

The woman had delicate features, wearing a light blue gauze dress, her hair slightly disheveled.

At this moment, she was flying through the air at an extremely fast speed, with blood mist erupting from her body every few breaths.

The woman’s expression was panicked, her eyes filled with terror.

She was holding a six or seven-year-old child in her arms, constantly looking back as she ran.

Her tear-streaked face was pitiful to behold.

After the woman left.

A burly man with a rugged beard, exuding a powerful pressure, followed closely behind!

The long knife in his hand gleamed with a cold light, its blade stained with fresh blood.

The man’s face was ferocious as he flashed past the tree where the two were hiding, cursing under his breath.

“Damn woman! No matter what, you won’t escape my grasp today! Just wait for your death!”

The man’s aura fluctuated violently, with a blood-dripping hairpin stuck in his left arm.

He also had several hideous wounds on his body.

The pressure he exuded was just barely at the early stage of the Golden Elixir Realm.

After the two flew over a hundred meters away, Ye Feng’s face showed a look of confusion as he transmitted his voice in a deep tone.

“Boss, it’s clear that the man wants to kill the woman. Are we really going to just stand by and watch?”

Li Guanqi ignored him at this moment, closing his eyes slightly as his Divine Sense spread out like a rushing stream.

Within the range of his Divine Sense, everything within a hundred meters was clearly visible to him.

The woman had left behind a trail of blood along the way, as conspicuous as fireflies in the night to his eyes.

After glancing at the direction, Li Guanqi turned to leave in the opposite direction.

Ye Feng looked at Li Guanqi’s back and said in a low voice.

“Why?”

Li Guanqi turned and frowned, “Why what?”

“Why ‘stand by and watch’?”

“If you want to know, follow me out of here first.”

Swish!

Ye Feng looked at Li Guanqi’s departing figure, thinking of the woman protecting the child in her arms, and couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt!

The Great Xia Sword Sect’s creed included a line: ‘Right the wrongs of the world, kill those who deserve to be killed!’

He felt that this was the time to act!

After all, the man posed no threat to him, especially since he was injured.

If he turned away now, he would be haunted by his actions today, possibly even giving rise to inner demons.

Swish!

Ye Feng gripped his long sword and instantly chased after the two.

Seeing this, Li Guanqi wasn’t surprised at all.

Ye Feng was upright and had just left the Sect, his mind filled with its teachings.

If he stood by and watched, his Dao heart would be unstable, and he might never break through the realm’s bottleneck.

“Sigh…”

“Let him learn a lesson. Some things can’t be reasoned with.”

Li Guanqi’s eyes showed a hint of helplessness as he concealed himself in the shadows.

Ye Feng couldn’t see Li Guanqi’s figure, feeling a bit disappointed and doubtful.

He couldn’t understand why Li Guanqi, who could sacrifice everything for the Sect, would choose to turn a blind eye and leave at this moment.

It wasn’t that Li Guanqi didn’t want to tell him.

He was afraid they would fall into danger; now wasn’t the time to explain.

But what he didn’t expect was that Ye Feng, this straightforward guy, would actually go to help!

Li Guanqi’s figure flitted among the trees, moving swiftly and nimbly towards the front!

When he arrived, he found Ye Feng standing between the two!

The woman was clearly still in shock, her pale face even more haggard from excessive blood loss.

But despite this, the woman, as delicate as a willow, was half-leaning against Ye Feng’s chest.

Not far away, the man held his long knife.

His eyes narrowed as he pointed the knife at Ye Feng and said coldly.

“Brat, this is none of your business!”

“If you want to live, get lost. This has nothing to do with you.”

“Trying to play the hero? Do you even know your own strength?”

Ye Feng, dressed in white robes, stood tall with his sword.

One hand protected the woman behind him as he shouted in a deep voice.

“Hmph!”

“No matter what, since I’ve encountered this today, I won’t let you succeed!”

The woman, weak and leaning against Ye Feng’s chest, clung to him like a lifeline.

With a flash of light, she took out a jade box that glowed faintly.

With her slender jade hand, she handed the jade box to Ye Feng, speaking softly.

“Young master, you must save me!”

“If you are willing to save me, I will gladly offer the contents of this jade box!”

“Inside is a five-hundred-year-old Blood Essence Fruit!”

“I beg you to help us siblings!”
