Chapter 764: 834: Take drastic asures
These powders turned out to be even more potent than the Knockout Drug, even one breath could instantaneously bring a person to the ground.
Hong Wenbin and his people, each holding a dagger, were fiercely brutal, slaughtering anyone they encountered!
The won warriors from The Outside were strong and experienced in battlefields and bloodshed, but helpless due to those powders, they were like fish on the chopping board, completely at others’ rcy.
Even though so tried to resist, Hong Wenbin and his dozen n had already seized the horses and scattered in over a dozen directions, fleeing into the distance.
This was his original plan!
When Nu Woer died, three or four leaders advocated that those n should be buried with Nu Woer in the desert sands. But he refused! He regarded his life as worthless, but he also had his own obsessions. He had led revolts and been injured, but no matter what, he was determined to fight and see if he could carve a way out for himself!
The second leader’s eyes flickered slightly.
"Second leader, shall we chase them?"
A corner of the second leader’s mouth curled up, "Just make it look like we tried. What about the remaining two leaders..."
The second leader laughed lightly, then commanded fiercely, "Kill!!"
With Nu Woer dead, people’s hearts beca restless. The third and fourth leaders were overly loyal, insisting that Nu Woer’s illegitimate child should inherit his position, but the second leader, having been subordinate for a long ti, had long harbored rebellious thoughts. Seizing this opportunity, he decided to strike decisively!

"What’s going on?"
Hong Xiangjun and her two companions didn’t dare follow too closely. During the chaotic funeral procession, she was discussing with Dong Huiying how to make their move.
Unfortunately, they were a step too late and saw about a dozen n dressed in white linen with handcuffs and shackles on their feet, rushing out on horses.
Dong Huiying’s eyes flashed, "Quick! Stop him!"
Just then, a man charged towards them, his face unfamiliar and seemingly a teenager, at most seventeen or eighteen years old.
Liang Haoming moved swiftly, typical of n of his type who often acted more and spoke less, even to the point of acting without speaking. He leaped from the cal and dashed towards the young man, trying to stop the horse, but the teenager stabbed at him with a blood-stained knife.
Haoming dodged the knife and grabbed the teenager by the shoulder, throwing him harshly to the ground.
"Do you know a man nad Hong Wenbin?" Dong Huiying asked the young man from atop her cal.
The teenager glared, "I don’t know!" Liang Haoming had taken away his knife, and now he was at their rcy, but he wouldn’t betray his companions.
This plan was devised by Brother Hong, who had also said that they would escape as many as they could, but not all were guaranteed to escape; survival depended solely on their own luck.
Dong Huiying looked at Hong Xiangjun, who quickly said, "I’m Hong Xiangjun, Hong Wenbin is my brother! I ca to The Outside specifically for him!"
The teenager was stunned.
"Xiao Ya?"
Dong Huiying: "???" Xiao Ya, what is that?
Hong Xiangjun nodded vigorously, "Yes yes yes, Xiao Ya is my childhood nickna. Is my brother with you? Was he with you?"
The teenager glanced at Liang Haoming, "Let
go first!"
Liang Haoming looked towards his young wife.
The young wife chuckled softly, "Let him go. In this desert, although horses are faster than cals, they don’t handle drought well. But we better not delay any longer, otherwise it will be difficult to catch up."
Once freed, the young man then said, "Just now, there was a traitor among us, everything happened so fast, but I saw Brother Hong seed to have fled in the Northwest direction."
