"Have you seen them yet?" Huo Ying asked

"How many times are you going to ask me that, if I see them, I will say it even before you ask me," the golden eagle said ​​

"We are already at Fu Yin city, if they are not here that means that they must have been held back by something, you need to fly faster," Huo Ying said, then the golden eagle flapped his wings with more force than he did before, as he flew higher into the sky more people saw him and they began to shout in excitement.

----------------------

"How is he doing now?" Bingchen asked

"We are almost done, the soldiers should be here soon, you will have to take care of them alone," Huo Li said

"That is not a problem just focus on helping him recover," Bingchen said

"make sure you don't make use of your flame power," Huo Li said

"Alright" Bingchen replied

"Wait…. I think they are already here" Huo Li said then they both turned to the direction they came for, they saw about fifty soldiers coming towards their direction then Bingchen quickly went to his horse and took out his sword. The soldiers saw them after they came closer to them, then they slowly rode towards where they were.

"Seems like this captain still manage to catch up with you," the captain said

"Hmmph! If we didn't stop riding, so you think you would be able to catch up with us" Huo Li said

"That's true but unfortunately you had to stop riding and now you can't escape" the captain replied

"It won't take me anything to finish you off even if we are outnumbered," Bingchen said

"You must be spies from other countries, if you surrender now, I will make sure your life is spared or else…." The captain said

"Hmmph! Or else you will lose your life" Huo Li said, she still focused all her strength on Huo Qiang body but she hated the guts of the captain.

"I have given you a chance but you refused to take it so don't blame me for being ruthless" the captain said

"I would have just knocked you out if our face were concealed but you all have seen our faces and we can't afford to expose our identities so I have to kill all of you," Bingchen said then he pulled his sword out of the sheath.

"You are courting death but since you wish to die then I will grant you your wish," the captain said

"Bring it on," Bingchen said

"attack!" the captain shouted then he waved his hands and pointed it in their direction.

Ten of the soldiers ran towards Bingchen, he just stood still and waited for them to come to him, the first soldier raised his sword against his head then he brought it down on him but in a split of a second, he had already disappeared from their front. They all turned back only to find the last two soldiers dead but they couldn't find him anywhere, they turned to look at the front again then they found him standing in front of them once again.

"You…you…how did you…" the soldier at their front stuttered

"What are you waiting for, attack them!" the captain shouted from behind, even he was stunned by his speed but he couldn't show it in front of them.

The soldier in the front extended his sword forward and ran towards Bingchen but as soon as the sword was about to stab into his heart Bingchen ducked to the side, then he held the sword in the middle of his index and middle finger of his left hand while he balled his right hand into a fist then he punched the soldier in his abdomen, the punch sent him flying towards the captain but the captain ducked to the side.

The rest of them ran towards him with their swords pointed at him but Bingchen still stood at one point.

"Are you done?" Bingchen asked

"Just finish them off, I am almost done" Huo Li replied

"Okay" Bingchen replied then he dashed towards the soldiers swiftly, with his sword and the first soldier sword in both of his hands, as he passed through them, they all dropped dead. The captain was shocked at the speed he used in killing them off, it didn't even take five seconds to kill none of them.

"Attack!" the captain shouted then the remaining soldiers ran towards Bingchen.

"If only you didn't mistake us for spies, you wouldn't have come here to court death," Bingchen said then he shook his head in pity for the soldiers running towards him who would soon become carcasses.

He dashed towards them with both swords in his hand, he ran towards them but this time he wasn't as fast as he was the first time. He swiftly ran into them then he returned to where he stood before, the captain watched the scene in confusion, he couldn't understand what had happened. One of the soldiers suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck then he touched the spot only to see blood on his hands, then blood began to sizzle out of his neck until he fell to the ground and died, the rest of them touched their neck then they realized that he had cut all of their necks but it was too late, they all dropped dead. The captain watched the horrifying as they all dropped to the ground, he sucked in a breath of cold air in shock, he has been to different wars during the forty years of his life but he has never seen such a thing, he had already cut the arteries on the neck but they didn't die instantly or feel pain when he cut their neck. He widened his eyes as he raised his gaze to look at Bingchen.

"How could…How did you do that?" the captain muttered

"You will know very soon because you will also experience the same thing," Bingchen said then he gave the captain an evil smile at the corner of his mouth. The captain kicked the side of the horse to urge it to move, then he quickly turned around and started running, but he didn't expect that….

Huo Li finished channelling her internal force into Huo Qiang body then she bolted towards the captain who had already started running.

"Huo Li!!" Bingchen shouted, he knew that the captain had made the mistake he would regret the most in his life, if only he didn't run away, he would have just killed him straight away but Huo Li would never do that, she hated people who abandon others the most.

A few minutes later, she returned with the captain, she dragged him with his hands while he rolled on the ground, then she brought him before Bingchen. Before anyone could even say anything, she had already balled her hand into a fist with the accompaniment of her internal force, she swiped her fist across his face. His face turned to the side then all the tooth in the front row of his teeth fell out with a mouthful of blood. Bingchen and Huo Qiang gasped at the sight of the mixture of tooth and blood coming out of his face as his face turned to the direction of the punch. Bingchen couldn't help but remember the day he infuriated her at the training ground.

If that blow had landed on my face, is that what would have become of me...

Bingchen thought!

"How dare you try to run!" Huo Li shouted in anger as the captain turned his face back to the front with blood dripping out of his mouth.

"Huo Li you…" Bingchen said but before he could continue his sentence, she turned back with a deadly glare on her face, he immediately shut his mouth without further ado.

"plleaaashhh, pleassse…spare….my…my…libe pleasse" the captain muttered, due to the recent loss of his tooth, he couldn't talk properly.

"dream on, I will not only kill you but I will make you die painfully, you led your underlings to death, you knew that they wouldn't be able to defeat us but you still commanded them to attack and you want to survive alone," Huo Li said then she spread her palms with the support of her internal force, she swung a slap through his face. This time he lost all the tooth in the second row, they all fell out of his mouth with another mouthful of blood. Before the captain could recover from the slap she had just given him, she raised both of her hands into the air, then she brought them down against his face and slapped him continuously with extremely fast speed, the only thing they could see is his head moving back and forth. Huo Qiang and Bingchen could only watch as the man suffered, it was obvious that she was already immersed in her anger to remember that they needed to get back to the sect for Huo Qiang to get treated. Huo Qiang wanted t stop her but he was in no position to interfere since he was still weak and he needed their support to move. Three minutes later, she stopped slapping him then the captain dropped to the ground but he was still alive.

"Huo Li, I think you have done enough, just kill him so we can be on our way," Bingchen said

"No way, I am not yet done with him," Huo Li said, she moved to the side of his body then she knelt down beside him, she looked at his bloody face with an evil smile on her face, even though he couldn't talk, it is obvious that his eyes are pleading for mercy. She held his arm then she pulled his arm over her shoulder, his bones began to crack and he started mumbling loudly in pain when she released his arm, the bones in his arm had already been smashed, then she moved to his leg, Bingchen and Huo Qiang watched her in shock. She held his leg and twisted it around, the captain raised his head and started mumbling aloud in pain but she didn't pity him, she still had an evil smile on her lips. She stood up and moved to his other arm, she was about to pull his other arm when her hand was hit with a stone, then she turned back.

"Stop it…he has already experienced enough pain," Huo Qiang said

"Huo Qiang!!" Huo Li said, the anger in her eyes was evident but Huo Qiang didn't care, he knew that she was blinded by her hatred but he had to stop her.

"I said stop, have you forgotten that I am a guardian" Huo Qiang shouted

"Hmmph!"

Then she moved away from him, then Bingchen dropped one of the swords in his hand and walked towards the captain.

"You shouldn't have tried to escape after sacrificing your underling's life," Bingchen said softly, then he raised his sword and was about to thrust it into the captain's back…

"Stop, don't kill him," Huo Qiang said

"I know, that Huo Li was too cruel but if I don't kill him and he exposes our identity, it would cause trouble for us," Bingchen said

"Do you think he can even last for two hours in that state?" Huo Qiang said then he turned his eyes to look at Huo Li with an accusing look but she turned her face away from him.

"Alright then, we don't have much time to waste, let's get moving," Bingchen said, then Bingchen climbed unto his horse and supported Huo Qiang as he climbed on the horse while Huo Li did the same, then they urged their horses to move and started riding their horses.

"If we experience any trouble because of your softheartedness, you will be the one to bear the consequences," Huo Li said as they rode across the trees.

"Huo Li, you seem to be overstepping your bounds, you must have forgotten your place, even if anything happens, it is not your turn to warn me," Huo Qiang said
