Chapter 221: Cruel Deeds, Maguwu's Fury
"Who are you to dare obstruct the business of the Liuyun Sect?" The gray-robed man's gaze turned gloomy as he fixed his eyes on the carriage, his tone cold.
The gray-robed man was no fool. Although he hadn't seen how his sharp arrow had been deflected, there was no one else on this official road except for the carriage in front of them.
Moreover, he had clearly heard the little girl in the carriage call out, "Sister Zhao."
It was obvious that they were acquainted with the young woman in front of them.
As he shouted his question, he also made a subtle hand signal to his followers, indicating for them to slowly surround the carriage.
Lu Qing and the others naturally noticed the gray-robed man's subtle movements, but they didn't seem concerned.
Magu immediately went to Zhao Qianlin, who had fallen to the ground from exhaustion.
"Miss Zhao, are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Zhao Qianlin replied, her face reflecting both relief at having survived and lingering worry. "Warrior Ma, you shouldn't have saved me. These are the Liuyun Sect disciples who were chasing us. By saving me, you've drawn their anger!"
"It's alright. You're still injured. Let me help you over to my master so he can take a look," Magu said, not showing any sign of panic. He helped Zhao Qianlin up and started walking towards the carriage.
"Seeking death!" The gray-robed man flew into a rage when the other party not only failed to respond but also dared to take the young woman away right before his eyes.
Without another word, he nocked another arrow and shot it directly at Magu's back.
Ding!
Magu didn't move, one hand supporting Zhao Qianlin while the other, in a flash, drew his sword and cleaved the arrow in two.
"Hmm?" The gray-robed man's eyes narrowed as he saw Magu casually deflect the arrow he had shot.
He could sense that Magu's cultivation level seemed inferior to his own, likely only at the Muscle Refinement Realm.
However, his swordsmanship was exquisite; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to deflect his arrow so effortlessly.
After cleaving the arrow, Magu didn't linger but continued supporting Zhao Qianlin back towards the carriage.
"Old Doctor Chen, Young Master Lu." Zhao Qianlin felt both grateful and ashamed.
That morning, when they had left, they had bid farewell confidently, never expecting that they would be rescued by Old Doctor Chen and the others so soon.
Moreover, this time, their rescue would likely bring the wrath of the Liuyun Sect upon them.
"Don't speak. Let me take a look at your injuries first," Old Doctor Chen stopped Zhao Qianlin as she tried to express her gratitude, and he began examining her wounds.
After a quick inspection, he found that she had three sword wounds—one on her waist, one on her abdomen, and one on her shoulder. Each cut was deep and severe, the bone visible in each gash.
It was a miracle that she had managed to run this far before collapsing from exhaustion.
"Take this medicine first." Old Doctor Chen fed Zhao Qianlin a blood-replenishing pill.
Then he said to Xiaoyan, "Xiaoyan, help Miss Zhao inside and bandage her wounds with the wound medicine."
Zhao Qianlin was a young woman, and it wouldn't be appropriate for Lu Qing and the others to apply medicine to her.
Fortunately, over the past two years, Xiaoyan had also learned quite a bit of medical knowledge from Old Doctor Chen, and she knew how to dress simple wounds.
"Okay!" Xiaoyan replied in a soft voice and moved to support Zhao Qianlin.
"Old Doctor Chen, no! You should leave now! These people are heartless and cruel. They've killed half the people in the town ahead. They're worse than beasts..." Zhao Qianlin's words were cut off by Old Doctor Chen.
"You said that half the people in the town ahead were killed by them?" he asked, his eyes narrowing.
Zhao Qianlin replied angrily, "Yes! We arrived at the small town this morning and wanted to buy some supplies. But we found the Liuyun Sect disciples wreaking havoc in the town.
My master had us hide and wait for them to leave before we departed.
"It's all because these disciples of the Liuyun Sect are heartless devils. They started wreaking havoc in the town, slaughtering an entire family, including the children, just because a stall owner dared to complain. When Shi Daxiong saw what was happening, he immediately jumped in to fight them. We were no match for these villains, and my master and the others were captured. Only I managed to escape, thanks to my master's desperate cover." Zhao Qianlin sobbed, her grief and anger evident. "These people are demons! In their bloodlust, they began pillaging the town, mercilessly killing anyone who dared to resist."
As Zhao Qianlin poured out her anguish, Old Doctor Chen's face darkened with fury. Lu Qing, sensing his master's anger, gently nudged his sister. "Xiaoyan, take Zhao Qianlin inside and tend to her wounds."
Zhao Qianlin, who had been about to refuse, met Lu Qing's gaze and found herself swallowing her words. She obediently followed Xiaoyan into the carriage.
"Sir, are Miss Zhao's words true?" Old Doctor Chen asked, turning to face the gray-robed man as the carriage door closed.
"So what if they are?" The gray-robed man sneered, his eyes cold as he surveyed the small group before him. "Since you know the name of our Liuyun Sect, yet you dare to interfere with our business, you must be tired of living! Seize them! Don't kill them yet; I want to torture them first!"
"Yes, Elder!" The Liuyun Sect disciples surrounding the carriage brandished their weapons and rushed forward.
"Seeking death!" Magu bellowed, his eyes widening. He drew his battle sword, and his body erupted with surging qi and blood. With a single powerful step, he unleashed a sweeping strike, forcing the attackers back.
Boom!
Magu's blade cleaved through the air with overwhelming force, sending the Liuyun Sect disciples flying backward. Without pausing, he took another step forward and slashed out again.
This time, he targeted one of the retreating disciples, his blade descending with the force of a mountain-splitting strike. The disciple's heart raced with fear, and he could only frantically raise his weapon to block. The next moment, he felt a violent shock run through his body, and he spat out a mouthful of blood as Magu's sword cleaved through him, sending him flying.
Magu didn't linger; he surged forward, targeting the remaining Liuyun Sect disciples. He was determined to take on over a dozen of them alone.
The sheer ferocity of Magu's assault left Wei Zian breathless with excitement, and even Zhao Qianlin, who had poked her head out of the carriage door, watched with wide-eyed astonishment.
