Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Sudden Ambush
The two warriors also saw Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue, but for some reason, they didn’t call for help. It was as if they were too scared to make a sound, and they dared not look down at the ground.
Because as soon as they lowered their heads, they would see the fierce black bear, looking as if it was ready to devour them at any moment.
The bear saw that Jiang Xue was no longer moving, immediately relaxed its guard, and once again focused on the two warriors above.
After a brief standoff, the bear seemed to have gotten annoyed. It suddenly started towards the trunk of the tree. Just as Jiang Xue and the others were wondering what the bear was up to, they saw it vigorously attacking the thick tree trunk.
With the impact from the bear, the tree began to sway. The two warriors seemed almost unable to hold on and about to fall. Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue were on edge.
Though they were not too far from the ground, it looked to be over two meters high; a fall from this height would surely hurt badly.
Without much thought, Mu Qiancheng rushed towards the direction of the two warriors.
Seeing Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue move, the bear charged even more forcefully at the tree. The two people, barely holding on, fell directly to the ground with this forceful hit.
Mu Qiancheng watched, his pupils contracting, and his body dashed forward swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, he reached beneath the two, catching one and rolling to the ground. But just as Mu Qiancheng embraced him, a dagger suddenly appeared in the other’s hand and stabbed viciously at Mu Qiancheng.
As a soldier, Mu Qiancheng had an innate sense of danger. But holding the other person made it impossible to dodge.
He decisively shifted his body, moving his vital areas aside, allowing the dagger to stab into his shoulder.
Jiang Xue, who arrived just behind Mu Qiancheng, gasped in shock at the other’s actions. In her urgency, she didn’t care about exposing herself and directly took action.
Raising her jade-like hand, which seemed delicate and boneless, it suddenly exuded a mysterious power, charging toward the warrior attempting to stab Mu Qiancheng.
As Jiang Xue’s spiritual power emerged, the dagger in the other’s hand reached Mu Qiancheng, touching his clothing. Just a bit further, and it would pierce through his clothes into his body.
But at that moment, an invisible force suddenly appeared on Mu Qiancheng’s clothing, preventing the dagger from penetrating.
Initially, Mu Qiancheng expected to take the hit but, as time passed, realized he hadn’t been stabbed. He immediately launched a counterattack.
Suddenly raising his hand, he aimed a blow at the opponent’s eyes. His movement generated a strong gust of wind, instilling fear in the warrior attempting to ambush Mu Qiancheng.
He immediately released Mu Qiancheng and rolled to the ground, evading Mu Qiancheng’s fist.
Mu Qiancheng was a highly skilled soldier, who’s usually merciless to everyone except Jiang Xue, towards whom he could never be hard-hearted.
Otherwise, he would not have been nicknamed the Cold-faced Yama by his comrades. Missing with his first punch, Mu Qiancheng quickly followed with a second.
The fist pursued relentlessly, striking toward the enemy’s body, forcing the opponent to dodge continuously.
By this time, Jiang Xue also arrived. Without bothering to check on the other warrior who had fallen and was wailing on the ground, she immediately stood beside Mu Qiancheng, collaborating with him to subdue the enemy.
After subduing the enemy, Jiang Xue, fearing further trouble from him, utilized the acupoint technique she had recently learned.
