"Who's there?!"

"Lord Mazuo?!"

Rolling smoke and dust swept over, and both Fang Yue and Qing Chen spoke out at the same time.

For a moment, Fang Yue was stunned, then he immediately came back to his senses.

What?!

Mazuo?

The horse-head mask man!!

The one who... captured Lord Han, and imprisoned Lord Han in that room!

His fists suddenly clenched tightly, and Fang Yue trembled with excitement.

Truly, I searched far and wide, only to find it right here!

"Run... run! Boss, let's run! That's Lord Mazuo! He's back! He's chasing us!"

Qing Chen grabbed Fang Yue's hand, ready to run, but found that Fang Yue was as still as a mountain, impossible to move. Instead, he himself almost stumbled and fell.

"Boss?"

He felt Fang Yue's hand trembling, his body shaking, but the expression on his face was gradually blooming into a hideous, crazed smile.

Stuffing the Little Blood Bucket into Qing Chen's hand, Fang Yue advanced instead of retreated, stepping into the rolling smoke and dust, walking step by step toward the horse-head mask man.

"Boss?!"

"You go first, I'll cover you."

Cover... cover me?!

Is this a matter of covering the rear? That's Lord Mazuo!

Moreover, without your protection, they, the two people and one ghost, are bound to die if they encounter a strange entity behind them.

Qing Chen was secretly anxious.

He relied on [Realm Breakthrough Progress] to forcibly break through his realm, barely reaching the Third-Rate Houtian Realm.

He had fought against strange entities before, and they had bitten off a piece of his flesh.

Fortunately, he hadn't encountered a single strange entity along the way. Instead, he had encountered two groups of Phoenix Organization members who were also fleeing for their lives.

However, they didn't seem to realize that they had betrayed the organization, so they simply ignored him and ran past, without attacking him.

"I can't... if I keep running, my legs are going to break..."

Qing Chen felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, as if they were about to close at any moment. His whole body felt like it was filled with lead, and he couldn't lift his feet. He had already gone from running to walking. He had been holding the Little Blood Bucket in his arms, but now he was just grabbing it with one hand, and now he was dragging it on the ground.

As for Lin Ling on his back, he had been protecting him very well. After all, judging from the boss's attitude, this guy was someone the boss cared about. If the boss really defeated Lord Mazuo, he would still have to follow the boss and live a good life.

Without the Phoenix Organization, Qing Chen's future had become bleak, and he could only pin his hopes on Fang Yue.

From running to walking, from walking to shuffling, Qing Chen really couldn't walk anymore. He couldn't take another step. His stamina was completely exhausted, and he just wanted to sit down on the ground and wait for death.

"Ahhh!"

Just then, a miserable scream suddenly came from ahead.

Qing Chen, who was almost falling asleep while walking, was instantly jolted awake.

When he looked nervously ahead...

Da da da!

Da da da!

A dense sound, different from footsteps, rang out from the darkness ahead, and quickly approached from far to near!

This is... the sound of hooves hitting the ground!

And it's... coming from the opposite direction!

Not escaping forward, but rushing towards this side?!

What kind of operation is this? Could it be that the road further ahead is blocked?

Qing Chen was puzzled. He looked left and right, trying to find a place to hide...

Whoosh!!

A whistling sound suddenly rang out.

Before Qing Chen could react...

A black shadow the size of a pebble instantly pierced his left thigh.

Tear!!

Blood splattered high from his thigh, and Qing Chen fell to the ground in pain, screaming as he clutched his thigh.

"Wait! Stop! That's Little Blood Bucket and Captain Lin!!"

Whoosh--

Along with the second stone shadow, as if disturbed and deviated, landed less than five centimeters away from Qing Chen's head, sinking into the ground, emitting faint smoke as if it had risen due to high-speed friction with the air. Qing Chen was so frightened that his face was as pale as paper.

When he looked up ahead, he saw a large group of Green Silk Horses rushing to his front, surrounding him.

A very heroic-looking woman jumped off a Green Silk Horse, a white sword hovering at his chest.

"Speak! Why is Captain Lin in your hands? What happened ahead?"

Looking at the uniform Green Silk Horses and people dressed as Green Silk Guards around him, Qing Chen was stunned.

When he came back to his senses, he immediately became excited.

"Everyone, hurry, hurry ahead to help the boss! Help Ye Baiyi!"

Ye Baiyi?!

Captain Ye?!

Everyone was stunned at first, then they exchanged glances, their eyes full of joy.

"Captain Ye is still alive?"

"Great! We didn't go the wrong way!"

"What's the situation with Brother Ye now? Why is Captain Lin with you, and what's going on with Little Blood Bucket?"
