Chapter 433: The Arrival of the Pursuing Troop

“My name is Long Aotian…” Yan Liqiang made up a name without much thought.

“Thank you, thank you for saving me…” The foreign woman spoke with her reddened eyes.

“What is your name?” Yan Liqiang asked while observing the woman. It was at this moment he came to realize that this woman looked very similar to Fan Bingbing. She had long eyelashes, big eyes, a pointy chin, and she seemed to be younger than Yan Liqiang had expected. She was probably less than twenty years old, maybe just nineteen years old. The only difference was that Fan Bingbing had fuller lips, which made her look sexier. The woman had light blue eyes and seemed to be a mixed race. Yan Liqiang had never gotten the chance to be this close to Fan Bingbing, but he was certain that even Fan Bingbing’s skin condition was not as good as this woman’s. Even without any makeup, the woman’s skin was fair and creamy like milk. It was as though water would leak out with just a light squeeze. She had a good figure too — her breast size was at least a 36D. Yan Liqiang could smell the faint fragrance of her body just by standing beside her.

No wonder those Shatu people were acting like wolves and tigers when they saw her. Yan Liqiang was secretly impressed by the woman’s determination. Not many women would end their own life without any hesitation under circumstances like that. Not only that, but she was such a beautiful woman. When she killed the Shatu man earlier with her dagger, her movements were very agile. From the looks of it, she was probably a martial practitioner who had yet to progress into a Martial Warrior.

“My name is…Selena, I am from the Great Moon Tribe!”

The Great Moon Tribe? Yan Liqiang felt a jolt. This was one of the tribes that used to reside in the Gulang Plains. When the Shatu Seven Tribes invaded the Gulang Plains, they killed many from this tribe and the other smaller tribes. There was not much news after that and it was rumored that some of the tribes fled to the western regions in order to hide from the Shatu people. Yan Liqiang never thought that he would meet someone from the Great Moon Tribe here on Mount Jade Dragon.

The woman by the name of Selena seemed to have noticed Yan Liqiang’s doubts. “Our tribe has been hiding in the depths of Mount Jade Dragon in order to escape from the Shatu people…” As soon as Selena finished her sentence, she quickly went downhill without waiting for Yan Liqiang’s response. Yan Liqiang watched as the woman ran toward the guard who was shot dead by an arrow just now. She kneeled down and carefully examined his body before tears rolled down her face. She wiped her tears away, then took off a piece of the silver decoration on her clothing and placed it on the guard’s forehead. After that, she took a fistful of soil, stood up, and scattered it on the body of the dead guard. She chanted softly in words that Yan Liqiang could not understand, as though she was performing a ritual…

Once she finished chanting beside the guard, she went to the body of another guard who was not too far away and repeated the same ritual.

While Selena was performing the strange ritual, Yan Liqiang sensed something and lifted his head. The Fiery-Eyed Golden Falcon was sending him some information through its flight path. Another group of people was approaching and they were about twenty li away at the southeastern part of the valley. There were about a hundred people in the group, dressed in clothes similar to those Shatu people he had just killed.

Yan Liqiang did not panic upon receiving the news from the Fiery-Eyed Golden Falcon. He quietly watched Selena perform the ritual on each of the dead guards who had protected her, and only went to her side when she was done with the ritual. “There is another group of Shatu people coming this way. There’s about a hundred of them and they are just a few li away from here. If you do not wish to fall into their hands, then I shall bring you out of here…”

Selena cast a glance at Yan Liqiang with her red puffy eyes that made her look pitiful and nodded to him. “Thank you Brother Long, let’s go. Do you know the way?”

“I do not need to know the way!” Yan Liqing said as he shook his head.

“Ah, then where should we go to?” Selena looked at her surroundings in confusion.

“I said I didn’t know the way because wherever I go, there will be a way!” Yan Liqiang smiled and drew Selena’s slender waist closer. Selena yelped in surprise as she was suddenly lifted off the ground and was whisked away at lightning speed.

In just the blink of an eye, Selena found herself at the top of a twenty-meter tall tree. She then felt strong winds hitting against her face and she could barely keep her eyes open. Everything around her passed like a blur. They were moving a few times faster than a running horse. Selena was in Yan Liqiang’s arms as they dashed toward a mountain wall in the distance. Selena thought they were going to crash into the wall and she was about to cry out in fear. All of a sudden, Yan Liqiang was running up the mountain wall vertically and scaled the mountain as though it was leveled ground. Selena felt like her heart was about to jump out and couldn’t help but hold on tighter to Yan Liqiang.

Yan Liqiang wasn’t trying to show off. He could traverse across the mountains with ease while holding a Dragon Spine Steel spear that weighed four hundred jin, to say nothing of carrying a woman.

Selena’s waist was soft and slender. Yan Liqiang could feel her amazingly bouncy globes pressed tightly against his chest when she held on tight to him, and his body couldn’t help but react to it.

Yan Liqiang knew Selena felt it too as her ears turned red and things became a little awkward. However, this was a natural reaction that even Yan Liqiang was unable to control. As a martial practitioner, Yan Liqiang had stronger instincts than ordinary people, but he always held himself back. The only time he did that was with Hua Ruxue.

Fortunately, the awkwardness did not last long. In just a flash, Yan Liqiang was halfway up the mountain with Selena and they were two hundred zhang away from the ground. On the wall of the mountain, there were a few natural crevices which were two meters high and ten meters wide. The inside was around twenty meters deep. Like a flat funnel, there were a few giant rocks that blocked the wind out of the crevices. Yan Liqiang stopped in between the crevices. He put Selena down and took a step back like a gentleman. He averted his gaze, feeling a little embarrassed to look at Selena’s face, “Ahem, you can hide here first. Don’t let anyone find you, I will be back soon…”

“B-Brother Long, where are you going?” Selena lowered her head and spoke in a much softer voice.

“I am going to wipe out all those Shatu dogs who are chasing all the way here…” Yan Liqiang turned around and jumped off the cliff as soon as he finished speaking…

Selena snapped her head up in shock when he heard Yan Liqiang’s response, only to find that he had vanished. She rushed two steps forward and held on to the rocky wall beside her as she looked down. There she saw Yan Liqiang descending the mountain with the speed of a shooting star. Within a few seconds, he was already on the ground and within a flash he was back to the place where he rescued her moments ago.

Before she met Yan Liqiang, Selena never thought someone who could say he was going to wipe out a hundred fierce Shatu people so casually like Yan Liqiang existed…

Did he bring her here because he was worried that she would get hurt when the Shatu people got here? She did not expect him to be so attentive. A strange feeling welled up within her.

…

The strong stench of blood lingered on the hillside, and bodies of lifeless Shatu people were scattered all around. Yan Liqiang who just returned to the battlefield immediately went over to the two archers whom he killed earlier. He bent down to pick up the bow that one of the Shatu archers used, and tested it out in his hands…
