13. Remorse

The thieves grabbed a few children and forced them to ask the road, most of these children were over ten years old, they were already sensible, and they had already hated the thieves, and the thieves were just staring at the thieves with hatred, gritting their teeth and not saying anything, and the girls and young children only knew how to cry, how could the thieves have patience, and they were about to poison them, when suddenly a cold wind blew behind them, and the two thieves had no time to look back, only to feel a shock to the back of their necks, and they had passed out in an unknown way.

In a few steps, Liu Qi had already rushed into the thieves, his heart was already full of anger, his shot was like electricity, and he slashed at the back of the thief's neck with his palm, the child's cry covered his footsteps, and the two thieves were hit without realizing it.

However, the two "bang" heavy blows still made the remaining four vigilant thieves discover the situation behind them, Zhao Quan was frightened in a cold sweat, thinking that the official army had been killed, but he didn't expect to turn around and see that he was just a white-faced young man, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Seeing the only two remaining subordinates holding their legs and covering their faces and falling to the ground, Zhao Quan was also extremely resentful in his heart, he was reduced to a lost dog, anyone can be bullied, and now a thin child dares to come and go wild.

Liu Qi knocked down the four thieves, the torches fell into the grass and trees, the fire was even stronger, and he saw that the last thief was tall and strong, half a head taller than himself, the muscles on his arms were stretched, and he glared at himself like an iron tower, threw down the child in his hand, and drew a knife to cut it.

Liu Qi hated a lot in his heart, and was reacted to by the thief, he was not good at weapons, and now he is unarmed, let alone saving people, I am afraid that he will not be able to protect himself.

It was only at this time that he found out that he had been separated from Yu Ji, but the fire was bright, and it could be seen that the children had not been poisoned, Liu Qi still breathed a sigh of relief and concentrated on dealing with the attacking thieves.

Zhao Quan directly tried to kill the other party under the knife, but he didn't expect this young man to be so flexible, and the inevitable knife failed, and he couldn't retract it, and the blade of the knife slashed deep into the trunk.

After all, he has been a thief for many years, and he has experienced more than 100 fights, and he can be the head of the thief, he still has real skills, Zhao Quan missed a blow, only a short startle, immediately abandoned the knife, kicked out with flying feet, the opponent stretched out his arm to block, and couldn't withstand the strength and retreated several steps repeatedly, Zhao Quan didn't give the other party the slightest respite, jumped forward, took advantage of the momentum to kick again, and kicked the opponent in the chest.

As soon as he made a move, Liu Qi saw that this thief was not an ordinary thief, and he couldn't see how the other party made a move in such a light, but he felt that the opponent's arm moved, and the knife light instantly arrived in front of him, and he was horrified, and he rolled to the ground in embarrassment to dodge the sharp knife.

I secretly screamed in my heart that it was not good, I was not clear of my snake venom, and my state was poor, I ran around in the mountains all day, I was anxious when I came, I ran all the way, and I couldn't help but relax a little when I found that the children were safe and sound, but after this relaxation, I eagerly lifted my breath and found that my body that had been overdrawn was very uncomfortable and began to ache and weak, and my breathing was a little short, and my arms even began to tremble slightly because I was too hard just now.

Before he had time to adjust his breathing, Zhao Quan had already attacked, Liu Qi had never experienced a life-and-death struggle, although he had seen many masters before, but people fought with him to give his uncle face in order to guide him, where would he move seriously, when he came to this world, he only had a few moves with Gao Hong, but Gao Hong didn't think about his life at that time.

And now, Liu Qi, who has almost zero real combat experience, can't cope with Zhao Quan's fierce offensive step by step, barely blocking the swift kick, and he hasn't even taken a few steps back, his eyes are black, and the door has been wide open.

A group of children did not escape, they were full of confidence in Liu Qi, looking forward to Brother Liu beating away the thieves and taking them home, but in the blink of an eye, Brother Liu, who seemed to them to be omnipotent, was already in danger and was at a loss.

I only heard the children let out a burst of exclamations, a muffled sound came from their chests, and they only felt that they flew out upside down like a cloud, and the severe pain spread when they fell heavily on the ground, Liu Qi struggled unwillingly to get up, but his body seemed to be evacuated and he couldn't use any strength.

Liu Qi gasped for breath, watching the thief pull out a short knife and walk towards him with a cruel smile.

I hope it's like in the movie, the thief laughs at himself triumphantly, and then Yu Ji or Gao Hong kills and saves himself. It's a pity that this is not a movie, the thief didn't say a word, and there was no superfluous movement, he raised his knife and stabbed himself fiercely.

Of course, Liu Qi didn't want to sit still, pretended to be powerless to get up, secretly took a deep breath, and when the other party approached, he suddenly kicked and kicked on his left knee.

Zhao Quan never thought that this thin young man did not faint to death after being hit with all his strength, but had the strength to fight back, and his left knee was suddenly torn in sharp pain without defense, and his heavy body lost its support, and he fell to the ground like a heavy door panel with a broken door shaft.

After all, Zhao Quan has been dead for many years, although he panicked, he did not mess up, and fiercely endured the severe pain and stabbed Liu Qi with a short knife.

However, the movement has slowed down a lot, Liu Qi held the short knife, clasped Zhao Quan's right arm tightly with his backhand, and pressed his wrist holding the knife to the ground with his right elbow, Zhao Quan suddenly screamed in pain, and the short knife could no longer be grasped.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Qi's foot stepped on Zhao Quan's armpit, and then clasped Zhao Quan's arm and twisted it vigorously.

Zhao Quan was already embarrassed to the extreme at this time, lying face down on the ground, when his arm was twisted, in order to alleviate the severe pain in his arm, his body unconsciously rotated with his arm, but his shoulder was stepped on, his chin was dead on the ground, and his head couldn't move for half a minute, so he had to use his knees to prop up his lower body and desperately pout his buttocks, and in a few seconds, Zhao Quan was already sweating profusely, and his neck was about to be broken by himself.

However, Zhao Quan is really fierce, gritting his teeth, kicking his legs, twisting his body with all his strength, "click" A crisp sound, his right arm was dislocated, although he almost fainted in pain, he finally broke free.

Liu Qi is really powerless at the moment, otherwise this trick locks the other party, unless the other party chops off his own arm, he will never be able to break free. I was forcibly supported by the desire to survive just now, and now I don't even have the strength to stand up. Fortunately, the thief lost one leg and one arm, and there was only despair and wailing left.

But Liu Qi is still not out of danger, the two thieves who were knocked down before, although one was knocked out of the bridge of his nose and fainted, but the other was kicked and his knee was broken, and he was only temporarily incapacitated.

In recent years, the official army has always killed all of their capricious yellow turban thieves, and if they are caught, there is only a dead end.

A group of children were horrified by the thrilling battle in front of them and didn't dare to take a breath, until the leading thief broke his arm and rolled to the ground and screamed, Brother Liu lay on the ground and gasped for breath before realizing that the thief had been defeated, and was about to cheer, when suddenly another thief stood up in the firelight, and couldn't help but exclaim loudly.

Liu Qi looked up and cried out repeatedly, Damn, this is not over.

Secretly lucky, his chest and arms were still very painful, but fortunately, the heavy blow just now did not hurt his internal organs, his breath did not appear blocked, and his strength was slowly recovering.

Liu Qi seized the time to regulate his breath, a cripple was not much of a threat to him.

But a group of children thought that he was too injured to get up, Zhang Ping turned his head and looked at Sister Zhang Ling, nodded, picked up a stone and shouted and rushed towards the thief.

It's a pity that Zhang Ping is only a fifteen-year-old child after all, although the thief soldier has a broken leg, it is still easy to deal with a thin child, and he pinched Zhang Ping's slender arm with only one hand, and then knocked him to the ground with a punch.

A group of children followed behind and prepared to beat the water dogs, but they were so frightened by the punch that they stopped and did not dare to move again.

Liu Qi hurriedly sat up, picked up the short knife left by Zhao Quan, and shouted and threw it at the thief with all his might, and the thief was about to raise his knife to stab Zhang Ping, who fell to the ground, when he heard the movement behind him, he hurriedly returned the knife to block.

The two knives collided with each other and splashed with a spark, the thief soldier was taken aback, and he was even more panicked when he saw that Liu Qi still had combat strength, and he was eager to kill the opponent as soon as possible so that he could escape, shouting and waving the knife to slash, but unfortunately he only had one leg to support him, and it was difficult to hurt the opponent in the slightest.

Liu Qi moved his steps slowly, waiting for the thief to come forward and punch him, suddenly his ankle was grabbed by a big hand, and when he looked down, he saw Zhao Quan's distorted face in pain and shouting with a cruel smile: "Take his life!" ”

The thief also came to his senses, raised his long sword, and slashed down with a howl.

Liu Qi hurriedly turned sideways to hide, but his foot was tightly grasped by Zhao Quan, fell to the ground, and narrowly avoided the blade, Zhao Quan took the opportunity to let go and hugged Liu Qi by the waist.

The thief knelt on one knee and raised his knife again, Liu Qi, who couldn't break free, saw that there was no way to avoid it, and his heart sank: It's over!

A few immature and resolute shouts sounded behind the thief, Zhang Ping rushed over again and grabbed the thief's wrist, Zhang Ling also followed, grabbing and hitting the thief's head.

The thief withdrew one hand to protect his head and face, slowly stood up with a long knife, picked up Zhang Ping, fell on the trunk of the tree next to him, and knocked Zhang Ling to the ground with a backhand slap.

Zhang Ping couldn't stop moaning in pain, he couldn't get up anymore, Zhang Ling saw the thief turn around and want to raise the knife again, so he rushed over and hugged the thief's injured leg in a hurry, and bit it hard.

"Ahh The thief screamed loudly, raising his knife and about to stab Zhang Ling.

Liu Qi was shocked, grabbed Zhao Quan's two fingers and broke them fiercely, with a crisp click, his fingers broke off in response, Liu Qi broke free in Zhao Quan's screams, and his two fingers bent back and slammed into the throat of the thief who was about to stab the long knife.

"Poof", it was still a step too late, and the long knife ruthlessly stabbed into Zhang Ling's back, and blood gushed out.

"Ling'er!!" Liu Qi roared wildly and pushed away the dying thief soldier and picked up Zhang Ling, tears had already blurred his eyes, at this moment he hated himself extremely much in his heart, if it wasn't for his carelessness and Yu Ji's separation, how could he let Zhang Ling be killed at this moment, it's ridiculous that he is still so conceited, even a few bandits can't be subdued, Zhang Ling could have escaped by himself, and was poisoned by thieves in order to save himself.

Yu Ji finally arrived, and was slightly relieved to see Liu Qi unharmed, but found that Zhang Ling, who was covered in blood in his arms, also changed his face greatly, and hurriedly stepped forward to check.

Liu Qi couldn't cry anymore, his deep remorse and self-blame made his spirit almost collapse, and no matter how much Yu Ji called, he didn't respond.
