Chapter 347: Chapter 347: Underfoot
She struck a point on the opponent’s body, causing them to instantly lose the ability to move, collapsing to the ground like a pile of soft mud.
At this moment, Mu Qiancheng also got a clear look at the opponent’s face, and coldly asked, "You’re not Luo Gang, who are you?"
Previously, they had been some distance away, so they hadn’t clearly seen the faces of the two people hanging in the trees. They only noticed the military uniforms they were wearing, but it turned out they weren’t their own men, but the enemy.
However, Mu Qiancheng couldn’t quite understand how these people knew he was coming out to find someone, and how they knew he would come this way.
Thinking of this, Mu Qiancheng couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Xue. It’s not that he suspected Jiang Xue, but coming to this part of the forest was Jiang Xue’s suggestion.
Jiang Xue didn’t know that Mu Qiancheng had doubts about her. After subduing the person who wanted to kill Mu Qiancheng, she turned and walked toward another warrior who was still yelling.
Just as Jiang Xue was about to approach that person, Mu Qiancheng suddenly called out, "Xue’er!"
"What’s wrong?" Jiang Xue turned her head to look at Mu Qiancheng, not understanding why he was calling her.
"Xue’er, be careful!" Mu Qiancheng cautioned. He originally wanted to go and check on that person himself, but recalling Jiang Xue’s skills, he stopped in his tracks.
"Don’t worry, I will." Jiang Xue smiled and continued walking towards the man. When she got close to the shouting warrior, she didn’t immediately take action. Instead, she stood in front of him, looking at him with a half-smile.
The warrior lying on the ground felt Jiang Xue’s gaze, and his cries of pain abruptly stopped. He stared at her for a long time before finally asking, "Who are you, and why are you here?"
"That’s exactly what I wanted to ask you." Jiang Xue looked at the man, smiling as she asked. It was clear that this man was doing this on purpose. He was at most two and a half meters up; if he were really a soldier, he wouldn’t have fallen.
But now, the opponent had deliberately fallen in front of them, clearly as a ploy to deal with Mu Qiancheng.
Jiang Xue did not know who these two disguised as warriors were, nor did she understand why they wanted to go after Mu Qiancheng.
However, Mu Qiancheng was now under her protection, so she wouldn’t let anyone harm him.
"Why should I tell you?" The man said in a petulant tone, having no intention of telling Jiang Xue who he was.
Nonetheless, while Jiang Xue was kind-hearted, she couldn’t be kind to someone who was a threat to Mu Qiancheng. Thus, after the man refused to reveal his name, Jiang Xue suddenly raised her foot and placed it directly on his chest.
"What do you want to do?" The man froze, looking at the foot on his chest, his expression turning unsightly.
He was a grown man, yet here he was, being stepped on by a woman. How was he supposed to face this?
"I’ve made it this obvious, and you still don’t know what I want to do?" Jiang Xue’s smile remained unchanged, but it looked much colder.
"Get your foot off!" The man’s face darkened even more as he glared at Jiang Xue’s foot on his chest, thinking about how he could escape from under her foot.
"Tell me, who are you people, and why do you want to kill Mu Qiancheng?" Jiang Xue asked coldly, adding more pressure with her foot.
As she applied more pressure, the man felt it hard to breathe. His face turned red, and he said to Jiang Xue, "Get your foot off, and I’ll tell you."
