The most helpless thing in the world is not being unable to fight back, but being able to fight back and knowing what to do, but being too late...
Not only was Ji Yunkai too late, but Xu Ziqi was too late.
He knew what the Great Protector was doing, and he also knew that he should avoid it, but his body's reaction couldn't keep up with his brain. He could only watch helplessly as the Great Protector's spear stabbed the horse under his crotch, waiting to be thrown off the horse.
Go down, however...
Just at the critical moment, a miracle happened!
The moment the Great Protector's spear pierced Xu Ziqi, Ji Yunkai gave up on blocking him and instead chose another method - to fight violence with violence.
She spread her long vine and slapped the horse hard on the butt!
The horse was in pain and rushed forward uncontrollably, towards the great protector.
The best defense is attack. Ji Yunkai explained this sentence with her actions. She did not stop the Great Protector's actions, but put the Great Protector into a dilemma.
Now, the Great Protector has only two options to take. One is to give up attacking Xu Ziqi and flee immediately to avoid being hit by the horse. The other is to pick Xu Ziqi to dismount and let Ji Yunkai's horse hit him.
Everything happened so fast that the Great Protector had no time to think. In the lightning flash, the desire to survive defeated everything. The Great Protector gave up attacking Xu Ziqi, threw away the spear, turned around and ran away...
However, Ji Yunkai did not let him go. The moment the horse rushed forward, the long vine in Ji Yunkai's hand flew out.
Although he didn't use much force, the vine in Ji Yunkai's hand seemed to be alive. It flew out lightly and entangled the arm of the great protector. If Ji Yunkai's strength was not too weak, the horse kept moving forward.
If you run, the Great Protector will most likely be thrown into the air by Ji Yunkai.
"Damn it!" The Great Protector took out a dagger, turned around and slashed at the long vine on his arm, but it was in vain. The long vine seemed to have eyes and avoided it at the first opportunity.
"What the hell." The Great Protector was startled. He always felt that something was wrong, but at the moment he had no time to think about it, so he just thought it was his own mistake.
He swung the dagger again, trying to cut off the long vine, but the moment he raised the knife, Ji Yunkai let go, and the long vine flew toward him with a "whoosh" sound, wrapping tightly around his body.
"This is impossible." The Great Protector really felt like he had seen a ghost this time. This was not a vine, it was obviously a snake, and a very smart snake.
The Great Protector was entangled in the vines, but this pause allowed Xu Ziqi's personal soldiers to catch up with him. Having seen the skills of the Great Protector, the soldiers were not polite this time and took advantage of the Great Protector being tied up.
, stepped forward and shot, piercing the shoulder and thigh of the great protector.
This move will not kill the Great Protector, but it will make him unable to fight back.
"Ah..." The Great Protector screamed and fell to the ground, his eyes red as blood.
Surprisingly, he never thought that he would eventually be defeated at the hands of an inconspicuous woman whom he looked down upon.
The Great Protector fell to the ground like a dead dog, with long vines still wrapped around his body. When he saw Xu Ziqi and Ji Yunkai riding over, the Great Protector looked at Ji Yunkai with a fixed look: "Who are you?"
"You are not qualified to know." Ji Yunkai asked his personal guards to tie up the Great Protector, return the long vine to her, and warned: "Keep an eye on him and don't let him die for the time being."
They also need to rely on the Great Protector to find the location of the Demon Cult. If the Great Protector dies, they will be in great trouble.
"Yes." Xu Ziqi's soldiers were really shocked by Ji Yunkai, and they followed Ji Yunkai's orders without hesitation.
After dealing with the Great Protector, Ji Yunkai and Xu Ziqi returned to Zhuangzi again. At this time, the battle situation had become clear. Most of the people of the Demon Sect were killed or injured, and only a few main forces were fighting alone...
Ji Yunkai and Xu Ziqi were not in a hurry to go in. They did not get off their horses until all the followers of the Demon Sect were subdued, and then walked up to Zhuangzi. Behind them were the Demon Sect's great protector who was tied up with five flowers.
When Li Yuan saw Ji Yunkai standing with Beichen's generals, his pupils suddenly dilated, but he was too smart to say anything.
He knew that King Yanbei and Princess Yanbei were not simple, but he did not expect that they were not simple enough. It was really scary to let people from Beichen interfere in this matter.
Li Yuan even couldn't help but wonder, are Yanbei King and Beichen really fighting to the death?
If the two sides really fought to the death, how could Beichen's people help King Yanbei? Could it be...
Li Yuan did not dare to think about it any more. He was afraid that if he continued to think about it, King Yanbei would kill him and silence him.
Ji Yunkai and Xu Ziqi walked into the flower hall with the Great Protector. As soon as they entered, they saw Xiao Jiuan sitting quietly in the flower hall reading a book, as if he didn't pay attention to what was happening in the outside world.
This kind of magnanimity and confidence are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even Xu Ziqi had to say that this man was indeed worthy of Beichen's attention.
No need to speak, no need to move, no need to even look at people, just sitting like that makes people dare not look down on them, or even dare to look directly at them.
This man is so terrible.
Xu Ziqi secretly took a breath, then calmed down the panic in his heart, and called out: "King Yanbei."
"Solved?" Xiao Jiuan didn't even raise his head, and gently turned the pages of the book with his long and strong fingers, reading carefully.
Obviously, he really doesn't pay attention to outside things.
"Solution..." At that moment, Xu Ziqi felt as if he was facing General Liu, almost like a subordinate reporting results to his boss, Xiao Jiuan.
Fortunately, he reacted in time and stopped what he was saying: "King Yanbei, I have captured the great protector of the Demon Sect. Now can you tell me what you want to do?"
"Leave the person behind and you can go. As for the rest, you are not qualified to know." Xiao Jiuan still did not raise his head to look at Xu Ziqi. In addition to giving Xu Ziqi a blow, he also did not want Xu Ziqi to recognize him as the masked man.
Although Xu Ziqi must have doubts, as long as there is no evidence, Xu Ziqi does not dare to think too much, or even cannot think too much.
If Xu Ziqi thinks too much, it will only kill General Liu and himself.
"King Yanbei, here... I don't think there is anything I can't know." The strong are respected. He has five thousand soldiers and horses in his hands. He can walk sideways in Black Rock Mountain. The Demon Sect does not dare to take advantage of him.
, Xiao Jiuan can’t either.
With a "pop" sound, Xiao Jiuan put down the book in his hand, glanced at Xu Ziqi, and said casually: "I believe that General Liu must have told you before you came that you only need to do things."
"What's in Black Rock Mountain?" Xu Ziqi knew he shouldn't ask more, but King Yanbei had to give him a name to send troops, otherwise how could he explain it to his subordinates?
Although he vaguely guessed that Black Rock Mountain was profitable, he guessed that without King Yanbei admitting it personally, he would not be able to feel at ease and confidently convince his soldiers.
Beichen's soldiers' hatred for King Yanbei was engraved in their bones. If King Yanbei didn't give him a suitable reason, he was afraid that the people below would be dissatisfied.
Moreover, he cannot guarantee that all the people under him will be loyal to him. Ordinary soldiers are a mixed bag, and who knows who is among them. Without a good reason, General Liu's political opponents will definitely not let go of this impeachment of Liu.
General's opportunity.
As a subordinate, he must think about his master... (To be continued)
