Before Feng Fuce and the others, Lei Hu had already led his men and caught up with the carriage that kidnapped Guoguo.

Seeing the figures racing ahead, Lei Hu coldly ordered, "Prepare to shoot arrows!"

The Iron Cavalry of the Xiu Luo Envoy clamped their knees against the horse’s belly, drew their bows, and aimed at the carriage in front.

Lei Hu gave the command: "Fire!"

"Swish, swish"—the sound of more than a dozen arrows piercing the air as they directly hit the carriage.

Those strong men immediately tightened their reins, stopped in place, and turned their heads to look. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Each of them had a grim gaze, murderous intent rising.

Lei Hu brought his men and halted nearby.

Both sides were equally matched, coldly confronting each other.

"Why must you chase us so bitterly, sir? We do not know each other. Don’t look for trouble with unrelated matters!" the leading strongman warned.

Lei Hu slowly placed his hand on the sword at his waist.

His expression was stern: "You injured our men and tied up my colleague. Today, none of you will escape."

The strongman chuckled coldly, "Since you insist, well then, let me experience the skills of the Great Chu Xiu Luo Envoy!"

He immediately leaped off the horse, holding a slender white blade that gleamed coldly.

Lei Hu observed his stance.

"Soul Chasing Blade? You are from the Great Qin."

The Death Soldiers protecting the Nobles of the Qin Kingdom were specialized in this blade technique.

The strongman raised his eyebrows slightly, "You’ve got good eyes, seems you’re a brave man, but if you want my head, you’ll have to ask if my blade agrees!"

With that, he directly wielded his blade in attack!

Lei Hu drew his long sword, leaping to meet the challenge.

The Xiu Luo Envoy and the strongman’s subordinates also began to fiercely engage in battle.

The horses neighed, their cries echoed through the valley.

Inside the nearby carriage, Guoguo, mouth gagged and tightly bound, was desperately trying to free himself.

His wrists had been rubbed raw and bloody, yet he persistently ground the rope.

Guoguo, his face flushed with pain, silently endured.

Outside, Lei Hu and the strongman’s blades collided, producing a fierce clanging sound!

The strongman’s attacks were aggressive and swift, but Lei Hu’s reactions were even quicker.

His sword moved like a dragon, always striking at the opportune moment for a lethal hit.

The strongman countered with his blade.

He laughed, "Your swordsmanship is indeed impressive. Which school do you hail from?"

Lei Hu pressed his sword upon the cold blade, gritting his teeth to say each word firmly, "No school, no sect, taught by our Marquis!"

With that, he fiercely swung his sword, forcing the strongman to quickly retreat and withdraw his blade to avoid the inner strength.

Once the strongman steadied himself, he remarked, "Outstanding swordsmanship, but against my Soul Chasing Blade, it seems lacking. It appears your Marquis is only half-trained."

Lei Hu despised anyone speaking ill of Feng Fuce.

He raised his sword, the cold light reflecting his icy gaze.

"Our Marquis taught us a lot and told me that the Xiuluo Guard is united as one."

"If you harm one of us, we take your life; if you break one’s leg, we demand your family’s blood as revenge."

"These are the rules of the Xiuluo Guard!"

The strongman saw Lei Hu gritting his teeth, seemingly serious.

He also became vigilant.

Gripping his long blade tightly, the strongman said, "Teach me."

The momentum of Lei Hu’s sword was one of overwhelming force and strength wherever it reached.

His strikes were ruthless, each move deadly.

The strongman was initially adept but soon was beaten back continuously by Lei Hu’s unexpected sword techniques!

With no alternative, the strongman could only retreat step by step into the forest, yet Lei Hu chased fiercely!

Upon entering the forest, the strongman suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"The Great Chu’s skills are impressive, but careless and unaware of the principle that pursuing too far leads to traps."
