Chapter 2220: Trapped in the Canyon
On the other hand, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang followed the delegation according to the clues in the secret letter and went deep into a canyon on the border. Looking at the towering mountains on both sides, Chen Changli felt extremely nervous.
The terrain was so steep that he couldn't help but frown and whispered, "Shufang, be careful. This place is dangerous and suitable for hiding. There may be an ambush."
"Okay." Wan Shufang nodded, her expression became nervous, her eyes full of vigilance, and she looked around carefully.
There was no one around and it was so quiet that the only sound was their footsteps. The panic in their hearts made the two men not want to move forward, but the delegation was unwilling, so they could only grit their teeth and keep up.
When they reached the middle of the canyon, a loud noise suddenly came from the mountains on both sides, and rocks rolled down from the tops of the mountains on both sides and hit them directly.
"Be careful!" Chen Changli exclaimed and pulled Wan Shufang over to avoid it. The other delegations also fell into panic and barely avoided it. After a while, the rumbling sound finally stopped.
However, the huge falling rocks blocked the way forward and backward, trapping several people in the middle.
Chen Changli gripped the hilt of his sword vigilantly, looking carefully at the members of the Northern Di delegation. Before he could say anything, the men in black who were lying in ambush suddenly emerged from behind the rock wall, drawing their swords at Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.
"Oh, they finally came out." He snorted coldly and protected Wan Shufang behind him: "Shufang, be careful, their martial arts skills are not low."
"I expected this, Changli, you don't have to worry about me." As she said that, Wan Shufang took out a crossbow from the space. The men in black were very disdainful when they saw the two whispering to each other, but they didn't say anything. They just picked up their swords and killed them.
The swords flashed fiercely as they charged straight at the two men's faces, clearly intending to kill them. The two sides engaged in a chaotic battle, and some members of the Northern Di envoys actually responded to the men in black, pointing their swords directly at Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.
"Kill them!"
"You, you actually..." Wan Shufang pretended to be surprised, pointing at those people, and said with deep sorrow: "It's a pity that we trusted you so much, but we didn't expect that we would let a wolf into the house."
"Stop talking nonsense. Today, you will definitely die."
The men in black shouted angrily and rushed forward frantically, their swords flashing and reflecting their greedy eyes. Chen Changli protected Wan Shufang, struggling to find a way out of the siege.
During the fight, Chen Changli was surprised to find the black-clad men's moves strange and somewhat familiar, but he was too late to investigate. The Northern Di envoys were glaring at him fiercely, gritting their teeth and saying, "The master said that we must kill them both here."
"They must not escape from this encirclement today."
"Yes!" the man in black responded. Chen Changli and Wan Shufang also looked at each other with serious eyes.
"Chen Changli, it seems they intend to trap and kill us here."
"The mountains here are high and the waters are far away. If I die here, I may never be discovered." Chen Changli frowned and spat out a mouthful of blood foam. His figure became faster and faster, shuttling among the men in black.
Seeing that he couldn't kill Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, the man in black became anxious. He took out a poisoned hidden weapon from his arms and threw it at Chen Changli.
"Changli, be careful!" Wan Shufang turned around and happened to see this scene. The hidden weapon cut through the air, emitting bursts of dangerous silver light. She hurriedly flew over to block the hidden weapon for Chen Changli.
Her clear voice brought Chen Changli back to his senses. He took her a step back to avoid the vital parts of the body, but the hidden weapon still scratched Wan Shufang's arm.
Her clothes were instantly soaked with blood. She broke out in a cold sweat from the pain and subconsciously bit her lip. Chen Changli lowered his head, his eyes touching her black lips, and instantly panicked: "Shufang, what's wrong with you?"
"Your lips..."
Chen Changli gently brushed her lips with trembling hands. Feeling his panic, Wan Shufang was a little confused, and her head became even more confused. She subconsciously reached out to feel her own pulse.
"The hidden weapon... is poisonous." She spoke slowly and exhaled a breath of foul air. The spread of the poison made Wan Shufang gradually lose consciousness and her body was shaky.
Seeing her like this, Chen Changli instantly became furious, his eyes fierce, he flew forward and drew his sword to kill the enemy. This time, his moves were fatal, and he could kill a person in almost one breath.
"If you dare to hurt her, you will all die!"
The man in black was forced to retreat step by step by Chen Changli, and fear appeared on his face: "What should we do? He seems to have gone crazy. We can't beat him at all."
"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us. Just go ahead and kill him."
Hearing this, the men in black looked at each other in hesitation, but at this point, they had no choice. Chen Changli had already become bloodthirsty, and if they didn't kill Chen Changli, they would be the ones to die.
What's more, even if they escaped back, they would die if they failed to complete the mission.
Thinking of this, the men in black worked harder, but they were still no match for Chen Changli. In just a few moments, several of their leaders were killed by Chen Changli.
This time, the other men in black were frightened and retreated in fear.
"What should I do? He's too powerful..."
"At this point, that's the only method we have left!" The man in black gritted his teeth, and the others nodded in agreement. Then, a group of people retreated silently.
Just when Chen Changli was about to chase him, he gave the order: "Release!"
In an instant, the ground exploded violently, and the flying waves of gunpowder rushed towards Chen Changli, blowing him away and causing his body to fall heavily into the thick fog deep in the canyon.
"Chen Changli!" Wan Shufang shouted, and before she completely lost consciousness, she also rushed over and fell off the cliff with Chen Changli.
Her body was rapidly declining, and the poison took effect. She closed her eyes and fainted completely.
In a daze, Wan Shufang recalled many memories, her eyelids trembling, and she clenched her fists involuntarily. She didn't know what she was dreaming about, and suddenly opened her eyes.
Her body felt as if it had been run over, and she felt a sharp and intense pain. She raised her hand, and drops of water flowed down her wrist into her sleeve.
"Hiss... It's so cold, why am I here?" Wan Shufang was full of doubts. She supported herself and climbed out of the shallow water pit. Looking at her face on the lake, her eyes showed confusion.
"who I am…"
Wan Shufang covered her head with her hands. The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt. But she still couldn't remember her real name.
She was leaning on the rock in pain, not noticing at all that a colorful poisonous snake was slowly crawling towards her.
The poisonous snake hissed and spit out its tongue, and its slender and slippery body slid through the grass little by little, making a slight rustling sound.
It gradually approached Wan Shufang, its eyes seemed to glow green, and when it touched her smooth white calves, it climbed onto her feet.
The cold touch made Wan Shufang stunned for a moment. She no longer cared about her headache and suddenly lowered her head. When she saw the poisonous snake crawling up her feet, she was so scared that her eyes widened, but she didn't dare to scream.
He just picked up the dagger that fell beside him reflexively, stepped back, and stabbed the poisonous snake fiercely. In an instant, blood splattered and the snake's head fell to the ground.
Without blinking, she hacked at its body, her face splattered with blood.
