Zhao Ying raised her sword and charged, the sword edge slashing towards Mei Qinghe!
Mei Qinghe tilted her head, met the attack head-on, and used her palms to block Zhao Ying's wrist, twisting it to take the sword.
Zhao Ying retreated a step, flipped the sword body, and slashed towards Mei Qinghe's arm.
Mei Qinghe was about to advance and follow up, when an Escort beside her suddenly slashed a knife towards her waist. She used her right hand to press down on the blade, deflecting the attack.
But Zhao Ying also took this opportunity to grab Mei Qinghe's left hand with one hand, and thrust the long sword directly at her chest!
Within inches, Mei Qinghe was empty-handed against the enemy, unable to block, and the Escorts behind her attacked together, unable to retreat.
Pfft!
A cloud of dust suddenly exploded from the ground, rushing towards Zhao Ying's face.
Mei Qinghe retracted her kicked leg, took advantage of Zhao Ying's unpreparedness, broke free from the grasped left hand, evaded the weapons attacking from all directions, and broke out of the encirclement.
In the fights of the martial world, more people mean more power. Often, only Outer Sect experts with strong body protection could ignore the difference in numbers.
Especially since Mei Qinghe had abandoned her sword, and her martial arts were reduced by seventy or eighty percent. When weapons reached her, she could only dodge and not block. Zhao Ying's martial arts were originally similar to Zhao Dehua's, and with the surrounding Escorts attacking together, Mei Qinghe could only temporarily avoid the sharp edge.
But this didn't mean Mei Qinghe had no way.
She rushed to a place with many people, deflected the surrounding slashing weapons, captured one person, and tapped the acupoints on that person's body.
"Ah!"
That person originally wanted to resist, but after being tapped by Mei Qinghe a few times, their limbs went limp.
Mei Qinghe grabbed that person's clothes and blocked in front of her. The Escorts hesitated to act for fear of causing harm, afraid of hurting their companions, and could only direct their weapons towards Mei Qinghe's exposed limbs, greatly reducing the threat.
Mei Qinghe took this opportunity to kick the long saber of the person in front of her.
The saber emitted a piercing sound of wind in the air, directly rushing towards a person's face.
That person panicked and used their weapon to block, but their strength was insufficient, and only slightly deflected the long saber, which then pfft, stabbed into their shoulder.
Fresh Blood gushed out, and that person cried out in pain, covering the wound and squatting down, no longer having the strength to fight.
Zhao Ying arrived at the scene at this moment.
She pointed her long sword at Mei Qinghe's arm. Mei Qinghe grabbed that person to block, so she had to retract her move. She then attacked Mei Qinghe's legs, but was also blocked.
The person who was used as a meat shield by Mei Qinghe saw this situation and knew that they had become a burden. They were also tough, and shouted, "Young Head Escort, don't worry about me, avenge the Head Escort!"
Zhao Ying knew that blood had been drawn, and it was not the time to hesitate. She gritted her teeth, found a Weakness, and stabbed the sword through that person's upper arm, stabbing towards Mei Qinghe.
Mei Qinghe was also not soft-hearted, and struck a palm hard on that person's arm, deflecting the long sword.
Then, she kicked that person onto Zhao Ying, forcing an opening, and evaded to capture another person. This time, she directly sealed their dumb acupoint, and used the same method to make them a meat shield in front of her.
While blocking Zhao Ying, she kept taking the weapons from the others and throwing them out. In just a few rounds, three or four people fell to the ground in pain.
Zhao Ying saw this and knew that the martial arts of the Escorts under her command were uneven. If she couldn't spar with Mei Qinghe for a few moves, and drag it out until she came over, then staying in the field at this moment was just a burden.
She shouted sternly, "Those who have been Escorts for less than five years, retreat! Go get the lasso!"
The bandits who robbed Escort Agencies often acted alone, and the Escort Agency naturally had a way to deal with this kind of Lone Expert.
That lasso was a thin rope soaked in tung oil, with pig bristle silk woven inside. It was difficult to break free once caught.
Zhao Ying no longer showed mercy, only avoiding the Vital Points of the person Mei Qinghe had captured, and kept approaching.
The meat shield in Mei Qinghe's hand had greatly reduced its effect, and instead affected her speed. She also slapped that person's shoulder, breaking it, and then fought with Zhao Ying.
Several old Escorts surrounded them, and suddenly gave Mei Qinghe a slash.
Those with poor martial arts among the Escort Agency had already retreated. At this moment, they were holding lassos and constantly throwing them out. The lasso naturally couldn't catch Mei Qinghe, but it didn't retract when it fell to the ground, only waiting for Mei Qinghe to step on it.
With one against many, if there was no absolute difference in strength, the most important thing was Evasion, using the large number of people and the chaos to constantly create a one-on-one situation, and break them one by one.
But at the moment, those who remained in the Battle Circle could delay Mei Qinghe for one or two moves. Before the Victory or defeat could be decided, Zhao Ying would take this opportunity to chase after her.
Lassos were densely spread underfoot, and if she stepped on them, she would be tied up and Kite. All around, weapons kept attacking, and Zhao Ying was closing in step by step.
No matter how good the Internal Energy was, it needed Recovering Qi. At this moment, Mei Qinghe was caught off guard, and danger immediately arose.
With her breath almost gone, Mei Qinghe suddenly struck a palm, forcing Zhao Ying back, and found an opening to prepare to Recovering Qi.
Suddenly, she was tripped underfoot, her Stance was scattered, and she couldn't Recovering Qi.
It was a clever one among the outer Escorts, who, without waiting for Mei Qinghe to step on it, seized the opening and threw it directly, just tripping the retreating Mei Qinghe.
Zhao Ying immediately closed in.
Without this breath to Recovering Qi, Mei Qinghe's Force would only get weaker and weaker, and she might not be able to hold on for long.
Just then, a sword fell from above, landing right in front of Mei Qinghe.
Wang Hai said in a Loud voice, "Miss Mei, don't be stubborn."
“Life and death struggle, all means are used.”
“If you see blood and still hesitate, wouldn't it be a disservice to the Sect's cultivation if you just give up your life for nothing?”
At this moment, there were a few people lying scattered at his feet, all still alive, but their limbs were bent, their Skin and flesh were torn open, and most of them had fainted in pain. Only two or three people were constantly rolling on the ground, emitting heart-wrenching screams.
Mei Qinghe said that she would take responsibility for this matter alone, and Zhao Ying also agreed, so they didn't send people to attack Wang Hai, only a few people were watching to prevent him from interfering.
Just now, Wang Hai bent down to pick up the sword, and those few people attacked. As a result, they were knocked down in a few rounds.
Mei Qinghe looked at Wang Hai, and Wang Hai didn't move, not intending to help in the fight.
Mei Qinghe's personality was rigid and stubborn, and she didn't know how to adapt.
She had originally planned to subdue Zhao Ying with her bare hands, and then leave after tapping her acupoints, so as not to expose the Sect. But it was her first time down the mountain, and she didn't have much experience in the martial world. She didn't know the Technique of the Escort Agency to deal with Lone Experts, and almost fell into danger.
Wang Hai was also trying to temper Mei Qinghe's temper, and watched from the sidelines.
No matter how Stubborn Mei Qinghe was, she wouldn't give up her life here for nothing.
She sighed, forced Zhao Ying back, kicked the sword, and drew the sword from its sheath in mid-air.
Zheng~——
The sword was just an ordinary Long sword bought casually, roughly sharpened, neither Sharp nor bright.
But it emitted a clear Sword Cry.
With a sword in hand, Mei Qinghe's Momentum immediately changed.
All of her Martial Arts were on the sword, Internal Energy, footwork, Force, and Techniques, all relied on the Long sword in her hand.
Li Miao once said that she could barely be considered a First-rate expert.
What is a First-rate expert?
Mei Qinghe raised her sword and charged, and stabbed straight!
It was the "Sword Roar Cold River" from Huashan Swordplay!
This Sharp and unmatched sword, Zhao Ying couldn't Block, and it directly pierced her left shoulder, and the long sword in her hand fell to the ground!
Mei Qinghe turned around and used the "Swallow Returns to the Sun" to sweep away the weapons in the hands of several old Escorts.
Then, she used a "Cloud Platform Three Falls", sweeping out a large area of Blood-red on several people.
Several people covered their wounds and fell to the ground.
Three moves.
In just three moves, she defeated all the people who had been fighting with her just now.
Zhao Ying still wanted to force herself to come forward and fight, but Mei Qinghe stabbed her right shoulder with a sword, and her hands hung down weakly, no longer having the strength to fight.
Wang Hai saw that Mei Qinghe finally drew her sword, and no longer watched the show. He went forward and grabbed a person and twisted their arm, then grabbed and twisted again, just like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
In a moment, only Wang Hai and Mei Qinghe were still standing.
Mei Qinghe put her sword back in its sheath and mounted her horse.
Her two swords had pierced Zhao Ying's shoulder meridians. After the injury healed, her Internal Energy would still be there, but her swordsmanship would be reduced by seventy or eighty percent.
She didn't want to have to kill Zhao Ying one day, nor did she want to be killed by Zhao Ying, so she simply cut off Zhao Ying's idea of practicing Martial Arts and revenge.
Mei Qinghe stopped talking and rode on.
Zhao Ying's hands were weak, and her subordinates were also injured, so she could only watch Mei Qinghe leave in place.
“Cloud Platform Three Falls… I won't misjudge, that's Cloud Platform Three Falls, Huashan Swordplay!” She stared at Mei Qinghe's back, muttering to herself.
