Chapter 515 The Whole Army Retreats
Lin Ping could roughly understand Guo Zhixi's feelings. As the daughter of the lord of Huizhou City, she had been competitive since childhood.
If she was being neglected simply because she was not as good as Jiang Yunying, she could accept it.
Jiang Yunying received different treatment entirely because of Luo Shaoyin.
This gave rise to hatred, and a desire to take everything she owned, including men.
“I admit that you are more cunning than my wife, and your martial arts skills may not be bad either, but you… are not even as good-looking as a single hair of my wife’s,” Lin Ping replied loudly.
At the same time, he pulled the trigger, aiming at Guo Zhixi's shoulder. As long as she was injured and fell from her horse, she would become Lin Ping's hostage, and the soldiers hiding in the shadows would naturally not dare to make any rash moves.
"My lord, have you forgotten? This is nothing but scrap metal used for hunting birds," Guo Zhixi said coldly, her figure suddenly disappearing from the horse's back.
"Romantic and sentimental? You really are at the Black Lotus Realm!" Lin Ping confirmed Guo Zhixi's strength and knew that this shot would have no effect.
Although the pistol was a firearm, its lethality was far less than that of modern firearms.
It's fine for assassination, but it can't kill a Black Lotus Realm expert face-to-face.
"Brother Pang, take the men and retreat, don't worry about me!" Lin Ping shouted sternly.
He knew that Guo Zhixi would use him as a hostage and then kill the entire army.
Because of his own mistakes, Lin Ping had already let down these brothers, so how could he watch them be wiped out?
"He's quite a tough guy, no wonder Senior Sister likes him." Guo Zhixi's cold voice came from the cold wind. When she reappeared, she was already in front of Lin Ping.
"You demoness from Lotus Palace, take this!"
At the same time, a dark figure appeared like lightning, blocking Lin Ping's path and successfully forcing Guo Zhixi back.
"As expected of a master from the Crimson Sun Pavilion. If you leave now, I will treat you as an honored guest. If you remain obstinate, don't blame me for being impolite," Guo Zhiqian said coldly.
Although she was knocked back more than ten meters by Jiang Mo's palm strike, she did not suffer any internal injuries and still had the strength to fight.
"You little brat, you've got quite the nerve. Did you eat garlic today? If I hadn't gone easy on you, you would have been spitting blood," Jiang Mo replied in a similarly cold voice.
He admitted that his martial arts skills were mediocre, not even ranking among the top in the Chiyang Pavilion, but he was more than capable of dealing with a Black Lotus.
"Jiang Heigou, you've really gotten me into trouble! Go and catch this crazy woman, or I'll definitely report you!" Lin Ping demanded.
If Lin Ping's army hadn't been completely outmaneuvered by Mo Youying, they wouldn't have been ambushed.
"If you can really see Sister Hongling, this matter will be easier to resolve." Jiang Mo rolled her eyes at Lin Ping, but rushed towards Guo Zhiqian without holding back.
Jiang Hongling's strength is also far beyond Guo Zhiqian's, and even Mo Youying has to look up to her.
If she really shows up, the current crisis is nothing.
"Are you a dog? Not only do you have a keen nose, but you're also incredibly fast." In the distance, Mo Youying came panting as she chased after them.
"Master Mo, please help me! I'm no match for him!" Guo Zhixi pleaded urgently.
She already knew she couldn't beat Jiang Mo, and the reason she spoke so confidently just now was because she knew Mo Youying was right behind her.
"Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water!"
"Ghostly Sword, go!"
A dazzling, azure light shone directly at Jiang Mo's back.
"Black dog, watch out!" Lin Ping shouted a warning. With the help of his right eye, he could barely make out Mo Youying's figure.
Jiang Mo was aware of the power of this sword strike and had no choice but to temporarily avoid its edge.
He successfully dodged the attack, but missed the best opportunity to capture Guo Zhixi.
Next, he will face a combined attack from two experts.
To be honest, in terms of pure strength, he is slightly better than Guo Zhixi, but a little weaker than Mo Youying.
The reason I was able to repel Mo Youying not long ago was because she was injured.
This time, he was at his peak, which revealed his weaknesses.
"Master Mo, you deal with him, I'll go capture Lin Ping." Guo Zhixi quickly left the battlefield; she would never let Lin Ping go.
"Her target is me, Brother Pang, quickly lead the brothers to retreat!" Lin Ping said sternly.
Having risked two thousand lives to escape the enemy's ambush, Lin Ping was determined not to let them fall into the trap again.
"No way, we'll stay and help you. I refuse to believe that these few thousand men can't beat those two," Pang Xingji said angrily.
Ultimately, he never knew how terrifying the experts of the Lotus Palace were.
If they fought to the death, these few thousand people could indeed kill Mo Youying and Guo Zhiqian.
But if they wanted to escape, no one could stop them, especially since tens of thousands of enemies were moving in the shadows behind them and could soon surround them again.
"This is an order; anyone who disobeys will be executed!" Lin Ping said sternly.
“But…” Pang Xingji stammered. He was a man who did not follow military discipline and was not afraid of disobeying orders.
“But what? Do you want to be surrounded by the enemy again? Do you want to watch your brothers die with you? She won’t kill me. If you all die, who will save me in the future?” Lin Ping continued.
These words gave Pang Xingji much to think about.
Lin Ping is right. Judging from Guo Zhixi's behavior, she probably won't kill Lin Ping.
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. They can regroup their army and, when the time is right, break through the gates of Huizhou in one fell swoop, thus rescuing Lin Ping.
But if we all die here today, there won't even be anyone left to go back and report the news.
Lin Ping will never be able to escape Huizhou City for the rest of his life.
"Everyone retreat!" Pang Xingji shouted, hoping Lin Ping would have a good time.
Seeing the army quickly break free from the enemy's encirclement, Lin Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Guo Zhiqian, "Since she is my wife's junior sister, I must treat her well."
"Sunrise over the River Flowers!"
Lin Ping, wielding his longsword, unleashed his ultimate move.
After the martial arts examination ended, Lin Ping realized that his strength was too weak. In order to rescue Jiang Yunying, he had to improve his strength as much as possible.
The Chiyang Sword Technique left behind by Jiang Hongling was undoubtedly the best choice. After these days of hard training, he finally mastered the Sunrise over the River Flower Technique to a high level.
"Such sharp swordsmanship, no wonder he is the man I, Guo Zhixi, like."
Faced with Lin Ping's sharp swordsmanship, Guo Zhixi became even more excited.
However, even with Lin Ping's arduous cultivation, he could only barely reach the level of the White Lotus, and there was still a significant gap between him and Guo Zhixi.
After several rounds, Lin Ping was forced to retreat steadily. If his opponent hadn't shown mercy, he would have already become a dead man.
Not only him, but Jiang Mo was also being led around by the nose by Mo Youying, and could be defeated at any time.
"Black Dog, their target is me. You'd better run! At your speed, they can't catch you!" Lin Ping shouted.
He was absolutely certain of Jiang Mo's speed; if he wanted to escape, no one in the Lotus Palace could catch him.
Besides, he's from the Crimson Sun Pavilion, so Mo Youying wouldn't dare do anything to him.
"Perhaps you don't know, Sister Hongling gave me another task, which is to prevent you from marrying any other woman besides Jiang Yunying," Jiang Mo said, surprising everyone.
