Chapter 412 Fighting the Villain on Horseback
Before they could grab the person, Hua Ruyi had already rushed over.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Cao Erdan was worried that something might happen to her, so he asked Huang Benchu to come and help.
The two men transformed into afterimages and began fighting with more than a dozen burly men from Shengshui Village.
Hua Ruyi was filled with hatred at this moment, and with Cao Erdan as her backer, she was full of courage.
She seemed to have transformed into a female war goddess, growing stronger with each battle.
Huang Benchu had gained courage and fully demonstrated his Dao Realm skills, so he really didn't take these dozen or so people seriously.
In about two minutes, without Cao Erdan lifting a finger, he had already knocked more than a dozen burly men to the ground.
Zhamuhei was dumbfounded.
Is this woman really that fierce?
Is this old man really that strong?
They turned around and ran.
But an old man he had just whipped grabbed him and yelled, "You beast, I'll fight you to the death!"
She bit his ear.
Just as he was about to retaliate, his arms and legs were grabbed by several other old men and women.
These old men, whom he had enslaved, lunged at him in fury, biting him off piece by piece.
They managed to bite a strong man to death.
The villagers knelt before Hua Ruyi, weeping:
"Flower girl, you must save our child!"
"Yes, Miss Hua, Master Shui has taken all the young girls from the village away. He'll surely treat them like cattle and horses! You must find a way to save them."
Everyone pinned their hopes on Hua Ruyi.
But an old man named Sanliang sighed:
"In my opinion, we should run for our lives. Saving people? No matter how strong the flower girl is, she can't withstand the hundreds of warriors of Shengshui Village. How could she possibly save them? It would be good enough if she could save us old folks!"
Hua Ruyi comforted everyone, saying, "Don't worry, everyone. Although I may not be able to save the village girl, my master certainly will!"
"Your master? Who is your master?"
Hua Ruyi turned around and pointed at Cao Erdan: "This Master Cao is my master, and from now on, he will also be the master of Holy Fire Stronghold!"
Sanliang snorted: "Miss Hua, you're confused. Calling a little brat your master? What skills does he have? Can he fight against the Water Lord of Shengshui Village? I think we should all run for our lives!"
An old man nearby angrily said, "Sanliang, although you didn't have any daughters or granddaughters who were taken away, didn't your son also die at the hands of Shengshui Village? Don't you want revenge!"
Old Man Sanliang cried out, "That bastard doesn't want revenge, but with the Holy Water Village so powerful, I'm afraid I won't be able to get revenge and will only cause the young lady to lose her life!"
Cao Erdan saw that many of these old people had been terrified by the people of Shengshui Village and dared not utter a sound.
I know I need to help them rebuild their confidence.
He reached out and patted the old man Sanliang on the shoulder: "Grandpa, don't worry, with me here, I will definitely make sure Hua Ruyi brings your girl back!"
Sanliang looked at him, sighed, and lowered his head again.
"I know you mean well, but I'm worried that you don't have enough people and the ability. You have no idea how fierce Master Shui and his men are!"
Cao Erdan sneered, "Don't worry, if I'm not fierce enough, it'll be really boring for me to kill people!"
As he spoke, he unleashed the Heaven-Devouring Slash, slashing forward with a single stroke.
A large locust tree, thicker than a person's waist, was broken in half, its enormous canopy collapsing.
The cut is flat and smooth.
The elderly people in the village were stunned.
A wave of the hand breaks a tree?
Is this something a human being would do?
This tree is so thick, even if two strong young men were to use a saw, it would take them more than ten minutes to cut it down.
He knocked her down with a single slap?
Is it as simple as chopping tofu with a sharp knife?
Once the elderly people recovered from their shock, they all immediately knelt down before Cao Erdan:
"Oh, God, you must save the people in our village!"
Cao Erdan quickly told everyone to stand up: "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you!"
Turning to Hua Ruyi, he said, "You can find the location of the water stronghold, right? Take me there now. We'll treat them the same way they treated you! They killed your men, so we'll take their men and make them slaves!"
The elderly cheered.
Someone directly led over one of Zhamuhei's fiery red horses to Cao Erdan as his mount.
Since cars can't drive on these mountain roads, horses are the best mode of transportation.
However, the water fortress only provided horses to its leaders, so there was only one horse.
Hua Ruyi pulled him over and said, "Master Cao, I'll take you there on horseback!"
Cao Erdan thought to himself, "I've been putting on such a show in front of these old people, it's so embarrassing to be carried on a horse by a woman."
"I'll ride it, you just need to give me directions!"
We'll arrange for Huang Benchu to stay behind and treat some of the injured elderly people.
Then, with a leap, he jumped onto the horse's back.
He reached out and pulled Hua Ruyi up, making her sit behind him.
With a squeeze of its legs, the warhorse neighed and galloped out of the Sacred Fire Village.
Looking in the direction Cao Erdan had run off to, the old people knelt down and kowtowed once again.
Thanks be to the gods for bestowing upon the Holy Fire Village a great savior.
Huang Benchu even knelt down and kowtowed.
Thinking to himself, "Master Cao is really amazing. He can not only win the hearts of young girls, but also the hearts of old ladies, and even old men are impressed!"
……
Cao Erdan mounted his horse, whipped it, and galloped away.
I thought I was supported by dragon energy, with the ability to subdue dragons and tigers, and that I could even kill sharks in the ocean, so what was riding a horse?
However, to my surprise, the mountain road was rugged and bumpy, and riding a horse was not an easy task at all.
It is different from riding a horse on the desert grassland.
Crossing streams and climbing steep slopes, one could easily fall off if not careful.
Therefore, you need to bend over and stick your butt out to make it secure.
Hua Ruyi behind him also had to hold on tightly to Cao Erdan's waist, pressing her body close to him for safety.
There was a soft lump of flesh behind me, warm and comforting.
If you're not careful, you almost spur the horse off the cliff.
Startled, Hua Ruyi quickly said, "Master Cao, how about I ride it and you stay behind me?"
Cao Erdan shook his head: "No need, I can control it!"
I thought to myself, if I were to hug you from behind in this position, I'm afraid our pants would be in danger of being ripped, which would be so embarrassing!
Cao Erdan also relied on his divine power to control the horse's reins and keep it from veering off course.
The two hadn't walked far when they saw a group of people appear ahead.
A dozen or so girls were tied together with a large rope and were walking arduously up the hillside.
Four burly men from the Holy Water tribe were holding leather whips and herding them along as if they were livestock.
Some girls are so stubborn that they don't want to walk fast, which leads to them being whipped.
Upon seeing this, Cao Erdan asked Hua Ruyi, "Are these the only girls?"
Hua Ruyi shook her head: "No, there should be more. These are the ones left behind. The old people just said that at least a hundred girls and young women were taken away!"
"Let's save these few first."
Cao Erdan spurred his horse forward.
Several burly men escorting the prisoners turned around upon hearing the sound of horses' hooves.
Before I could even see it clearly, the horse was already right in front of me.
A flash of white light appeared, and Cao Erdan's Devouring Heaven Slash emitted a beam of light more than two meters long. As the red horse passed by, the heads of four burly men fell to the ground.
After Cao Erdan jumped off his horse, the corpses fell to the ground.
The four heads rolled on the ground, terrifying the girls who screamed in terror.
Only when she saw that it was Hua Ruyi, a handsome man, did she regain her composure.
