Chapter 374: Warrior

Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was just past midnight. The forest was so dark that one could not even see their fingers. The wind blew the branches non-stop. The leaves of the two eucalyptus trees beside Li Yu rustled. There was also the sound of dry branches falling. The forest was filled with rustling sounds.

...

Li Yu walked to the edge of the forest and took out the whistle to blow the secret signal. After blowing it a few times, she didn't see Yan Niang. She felt that they were too far from the camp and the wind was blowing in her direction. They definitely couldn't hear the whistle.

Li Yu stood there quietly. She could feel that the humidity in the air was very heavy. The cold wind blew on her face with pain. Li Yu concluded that it would rain in the next two days and decided not to wait for Yan Niang to act alone.

Looking at the dark sky and the biting cold wind, she suddenly thought of that saying about the dark night and high winds facilitating assassination. It seemed that even the heavens are on Great Yong's side.

She looked up at the soldiers walking back and forth on the watchtower at the entrance of the camp and the few bonfires burning at the entrance. The flames were blown by the wind. Li Yu quickly advanced toward the Qi army's ration camp.

Suddenly, a team of night patrolmen holding spears appeared opposite the trench. Li Yu hurriedly hid in the space and silently calculated the steps of the Qi soldiers outside. She felt that she had already dodged them before coming out of the space. She jumped over the trench, jumped over the wooden fence that was as tall as a person, and entered the Qi military camp.

Li Yu saw faint light seeping out of some tents. After crouching down and approaching, she heard snoring coming from inside. Some tents were dark and quiet. There were also a few large vats filled with water beside them. Li Yu said to herself, “So there's a fireproof facility. Sigh! You're unlucky to have met a person with a peerless treasure.”

Li Yu put the water vats into her space and came out of the corner. A Qi soldier, who was on night duty, felt that he had seen a woman appear and suddenly disappear. He rubbed his eyes and thought that he had seen a ghost.

After more than ten breaths, Li Yu came out of the space and slashed the Qi soldier's neck. She held his body under her arm and opened the tent, letting him in. This tent was filled with arrows. Li Yu came out of the tent and realized that the tent was made of oilcloth. She was even more confident in burning the rations.

After Li Yu used the space to deal with the Qi soldiers on night duty and the water vats, she took out the kerosene bucket from the space and moved quickly around the camp. Just as she doused more than ten tents, someone covered his crotch and hurriedly walked over. It turned out to be a Qi soldier who was in a hurry to pee. Li Yu hid in the space and calculated the time. She happened to see that person leaning over the tent and sniffing. He was even muttering, “Why do I smell kerosene?”

Li Yu didn't understand what he was saying, but she understood the word kerosene. She placed the oil bucket in the space and took a step forward to break his neck. She carried him into the tent. The tent was dark. Li Yu touched the sacks in it and felt that there was chestnut rice in the sacks.

Li Yu carried the oil bucket out and quickly poured kerosene onto the silent tents. The remaining oil was poured on two haystacks that were piled up like small hills. When the Qi soldiers patrolling the periphery walked around again, Li Yu had already doused all the tents.

Li Yu hid in the space and waited for the night patrolling soldiers to pass before coming out. She felt that it was faster to use a rocket to light a fire. After thinking about it, she decided to blow the secret signal twice more. She hid in front of the dilapidated tent in the dark and listened to the snoring coming from inside. She took out a whistle and blew the secret signal.

Yun Yi nudged Yan Nianq when he heard the signal and the two of them quickly left the tent. Li Yu hid in the corner and saw the two of them come out. She came out of the corner and raised the lighter in her hand. She pointed at the tents. The two of them nodded and took out the lighter. The three of them bent down and split up.

The lighter swept past the tent like a ghost fire and lit up everywhere. The tents were originally made of flammable oilcloth. Coupled with the kerosene, it instantly burned when it touched the fire and the wind. The haystacks also instantly burned.

When the Qi soldiers standing on the watchtower and patrolling the night saw the fire, they rang the gong in panic and shouted, “Put out the fire! The provisions are on fire! The Yong people are here to burn the provisions!”

The commoners and soldiers in the tent woke up from their sleep and ran out of the tents in a panic. The soldiers ran to the place where the water vat was placed with ladles in their hands to splash water and extinguish the fire, but they could not find any traces of the water vats. In a moment of shock, the wind increased the intensity of the fire spreading to tents and grass. The people who were extinguishing the fire could not get close at all. They could only hear the crackling sound of the fire.

Li Yu and the others had already rushed to the fence. Yun Yi whispered, “I still have a mission. You guys leave first.” With that, he disappeared after a few jumps.

The two of them jumped over the fence at lightning speed. The Qi soldiers on the watchtower raised their bows and shot at Li Yu and Yan Niang. The two of them dodged and jumped over the ditch.

“Quick, quick, the ones who set fire to the food are here. Catch them quickly.”

More than ten soldiers patrolling the night shouted and raised their long sabers and spears to slash at the two of them. Li Yu raised her leg and kicked away the long saber. The dagger slipped from her hand and she lowered her waist to dodge the spear that was stabbing at her. She leaned forward and slashed the dagger across the throat of the Qi soldiers. Blood sprayed on Li Yu. She did not even blink. She looked up and raised her eyebrows at the Qi soldiers in front of her. A sharp aura instantly appeared and she activated the sleeve arrow to shoot down the few Qi soldiers in front.

She dodged a Qi soldier's spear and grabbed it at lightning speed. She pulled it back and pushed it forward. Her movements were smooth. The Qi soldier fell on his hands and knees. She raised her leg and kicked away a long saber that the Qi soldier had slashed at her. She strode forward and raised her elbow to hit the Qi soldier's chest. There was a cracking sound. The Qi soldier covered his chest and fell to the ground with a bang.

Li Yu took a step back and cut open the neck of the Qi soldier. She snatched the spear from his hand and waved it horizontally. The spearhead swept past the few Qi soldiers surrounding her and they fell to the ground.

Li Yu quickly retracted the spear in her hand. With a bang, the handle of the spear stabbed heavily into the ground. She held the spear with both hands and leveraged the force to rise into the air. She raised her leg and kicked away the Qi soldiers surrounding Yan Niang. She shouted at Yan Niang, “Go!” She leaped out with the spear and jumped into the forest with a few leaps. Yan Niang stabbed the last Qi soldier who rushed over to stop her. She drew her saber and kicked him away, following Li Yu's escape.

Li Yu and Yan Niang quickly ran into the forest. The Qi soldiers on the ground were powerless to chase after them. The other Qi soldiers were blocked by the raging fire. They wanted to rush out, but they could not jump over the ditch. If they fell into the ditch, they would die. The people inside were in a dilemma.

Suddenly, a commoner pushed the handcart out forcefully. The handcart landed on the trench and allowed everyone to flee. Those who fled thanked the commoner who only knew how to shake his head and not say a word.

A commoner at the side pointed at him and said, “I know him. He's the mute who works with that small man. He's very strong and often helps that short man. Hey! Where did that short man go?”

When the mute heard this, he searched anxiously. When he couldn't find the short man, he wanted to rush towards the camp. The commoners hurriedly stopped the mute. “Mute, don't go. You'll be burned to death in such a big fire.” When the mute heard this, he fell to the ground and stared blankly at the fire.
