However, the surrounding area is all forest, and there are no lights on the distant highway, let alone anyone. It's still very far to run to a place with people, and this is a remote and impoverished area, and it's not necessarily possible to get help.

  Two people followed closely behind, chasing very tightly. Moreover, they had obviously investigated the terrain here and were very familiar with it, calm and ferocious. One pursued relentlessly, while the other turned into the woods, wasn't he going to ambush me from the side?

  But there's no time to think about it now.

  As I ran deep into a forest, a figure suddenly flashed out and we met face to face.

  In the dimly lit snowy night, we confronted each other for only a moment before taking action.

  He was very strong, his moves were ruthless, and it was clear that he had a lot of experience. I couldn't gain the upper hand for a while. But I wasn't a soft persimmon either, relying on my agility and quick reflexes to hold my own against him.

  I knew things couldn't go on like this, and when the other person arrived, I would only get beaten. In the blink of an eye, I took a punch from him, and his abdomen was also kicked hard by me. Just as I was about to seize the opportunity to give him a fatal blow, a chill suddenly came over my back.

  Another person has arrived.

  Then came the excruciating pain of a sharp blade cutting through skin and flesh. I stumbled, saw my shadow under the pale moonlight with a knife stuck in my back. The man yanked out the knife, and I gasped for breath.

  When pain arrives, I suddenly become extremely clear-headed, and many complicated thoughts rush into my mind all at once.

  It's just such a villain. It's just such a villain who views human life as worthless and doesn't hesitate to deprive others of everything. What difference is there between them? A surge of emotions close to powder keg, filled my heart. I also don't know where the strength came from, bare-handedly grabbing the white blade in front of me. He was stunned for a moment. With blood-soaked hands, I grabbed his head and slammed it into a large tree beside him. His body swayed and fell to the ground.

  "Hiss——" The light sound of the blade cutting through flesh came from my body again. The person behind me stabbed another knife. I took advantage of the momentum to grab his hand holding the knife, and with one pull, I pulled him in front of me, lifted my knee and violently slammed it into his head several times, instantly covering his face with blood, and threw him to the ground.

  The snow-covered ground fell silent, and the two of them lay on the ground, groaning and twisting. I covered my abdomen with one hand, took off my sweater with the other, and bit it to tie it around my waist. The sweater was immediately stained with blood. I stumbled forward a few steps, and my temples were throbbing. Every step felt like countless hands tearing at the wound deep within my body. In a daze, I saw the two of them behind me, already stumbling back to their feet. But the highway was still some distance away, and the village even farther, completely out of reach.

  I don't even have the strength to cry out for help loudly.

  I'm almost unable to move.

  But Tan Jiao's face, however, flashed into my mind at this moment. Those bright, hopeful and gentle eyes. If I'm caught now, Tan Jiao will be discovered sooner or later. I absolutely cannot bear her falling into the hands of such villains. And the Chen family, my master's family, they are also in dire straits right now.

  I took a deep breath, bit my lip tightly, and spat out a mouthful of blood. The salty taste flowed into my mouth, and I felt slightly more awake. With all my might, I ran towards the darkness ahead.

  I hid in the dark thicket of grass. Before long, I heard their footsteps passing by from the side.
