Chapter 122

Mu Yi saw her attack and he shook his head . Nobody knew why he was shaking his head, but after what had just happened, they all looked at him in a different way .

After all, nobody except him had noticed anything a moment before . He had also made Big Slave throw a big stone . He had detected those two people who had set an ambush . Thanks to him, Mo Ruyan had an opportunity .

Uncle Cai and the others were still on their horses . They all galloped towards the foot of the mountain . Mo Ruyan had already thrown her spear at each enemy and killed them both . The enemies couldn’t withstand the strikes . Their blood dripped from the head of her spear .

The crowd heard horses galloping closer . The faces of the people of the convoy paled . Considering how loud the sound was, they could guess that there were a lot of them . They knew exactly what was happening .

At the same time, Mo Ruyan turned around . She was higher up the mountain and could see farther away . She understood the situation even better than the others .

Mo Ruyan realized she had been fooled . No wonder the two enemies ambushing them were so weak . They weren’t the real enemies . The enemies had just used them as cannon fodder . They had used them to capture her attention .

Now, it was too late for Mo Ruyan to regret her decision . She tried to run down the mountain as quickly as possible . Even if she didn’t have time, she needed to try .

Uncle Cai’s face was pale . He understood what Mu Yi had said now . Mountains were always filled with death . However, was it a joke? A curse? Or a legitimate warning?

Unfortunately, if it was a warning, he hadn’t heeded it .

“Back! ” shouted Uncle Cai furiously .

Everybody galloped back towards the carraiges . The enemies’ horses were galloping faster . They were also getting closer to them . A cloud of dust appeared in the sky .

Mu Yi turned around . He still didn’t show any expression . He was calm, even though he was a bit pale . The escorts next to him looked completely different . They’re expressions shifted between devastation, terror, and desperation . It was as if they were facing death .

The dust dispersed and a big guy on a horse appeared . He was holding a broadsword . He looked fierce . The second cavalier arrived, the third came, and more cavaliers kept coming . They all looked vicious .

“Mounted bandits!” said someone .

“Big Slave, they’re yours,” said Mu Yi glancing at them indifferently .

When Big Slave heard Mu Yi, he walked towards them even though he didn’t feel like it . He walked slowly at first and slowly picked up speed until he was running unsteadily .

The escorts let him pass . They didn’t look desperate anymore . When they saw Big Slave, they all followed him . They wanted to help kill the enemies .

Big Slave passed by the last carriage . He grabbed a gunny sack from it and threw it . The gunny sack hit the first horse and disintegrated . The horse uttered sad cries and bucked .

The cavalier had no time to dodge either and was forced off the back of the horse . He fell down in the middle of the group of cavaliers and screamed . The horse which had been struck by Big Slave’s gunny sack collapsed and fell on top of the cavalier .

All this happened so suddenly that the other cavaliers didn’t have time to react . The horses started galloping around chaotically in the aftermath .

“Far Ink Professional Organization . ” All the armed escorts shouted at the same time .

They were motivated by what they had seen . After that attack, Big Slave didn’t stop . He continued running forward . He grabbed two horses in front of him and forced them to the ground violently without giving the bandits time to react .

The horses neighed . The crowd heard some people screaming in agony . Big Slave just raised his big hands . He started killing people within the group of bandits . Both men and horses were thrown to the ground . Some of the bandits threw themselves at Big Slave and attacked him with their broadswords .

However, all it did was cut his clothes . Some small marks appeared on his skin but it was impossible to pierce through it . Mu Yi had used three five thunders charms on Big Slave and nothing much had happened . His defense abilities were great .

Big Slave was in the front . The armed escorts were behind him . Their blades glinted as they sliced the bandits who hadn’t had time to stand up . The bandits died just like that and their souls fell into the underworld . The dozen armed escorts and Big Slave had the advantage .

The enemies were enraged . They hadn’t thought that the Far Ink Professional Organization would have someone like Big Slave with them . After all, according to the plan, it was supposed to be very easy . They had thought they would beat them without any trouble . When Mo Ruyan got back, the battle was already almost over .

Mo Ruyan decided to wait until the enemy was exhausted and then she attacked as well . That’s when the battle really ended . Without Mu Yi and Big Slave, they would have lost and probably died though .

However, some of the bandits had been so alarmed that they jumped off their horses . They had used them to protect themselves .

At the beginning, there were fifty-sixty people in the group . Some of them had died but there were still thirty-forty left . They were planning to counterattack . Some armed escorts were also starting to get injured .

Of course, they had to be careful while doing so . They had to get rid of Big Slave first . That guy had displayed incredible martial prowess . He was the Church of the Thousand Children’s secret weapon . When facing ordinary enemies like them, he could be considered as invincible .

“Move out of the way! ” shouted someone rather loudly .

A big guy raised a heavy ax and ran toward them . The guy was big and strong in ordinary people’s eyes . He was taller than all his fellow bandits but he looked tiny in front of Big Slave . His head didn’t even reach Big Slave’s chest .

He seemed to be the leader of the group . All the remaining bandits moved aside .

“Attention! Your Excellency, who are you? Why did you attack us, the Golden Horses? Announce yourself!” shouted the big guy .

Everybody remained silent . Mu Yi was standing in the distance and staring at him . He was dumbfounded and tongue-tied . He looked at that “Cheng Yaojin” who had jumped in out of nowhere with confusion . (translator’s note / trivia: Cheng Yaojin was a Chinese general of the Tang Dynasty and “Cheng Yaojin is also an expression which means: “to jump in out of nowhere”)
