Seeing Gary Cao running towards him covered in blood, Duan Tianyang's heart suddenly sank and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

He threw away the severed head in his hand, not caring about the pain, and quickly jumped off the horse, asking anxiously: "Cao Ge, what happened?"

Cao Ge answered breathlessly: "Many foreigners came to my house, and there were also many people in black..."

At this moment, the joy of victory in Duan Tianyang's heart was shattered.

Just as one side won the battle, the other side's house was robbed!

Before Gary Cao could finish his words, he immediately used quick steps and rushed home at the fastest speed.

Seeing this, the soldiers stopped pursuing the enemy and followed Duan Tianyang's example, quickly retreating back into the city.

When he hurried back home, there was no trace of Jin Bao and Xiao Hong.

In the yard, there were only a few bodies of the foreigners lying quietly on the ground. Beside them, there was a unique corpse lying across the ground. He was dressed in black and seemed out of place with the surrounding foreigners.

Just then, a nervous-looking man walked out of the side room, his eyes constantly looking around.

This person was Yan Bin who had hidden in the chaos.

Seeing Duan Tianyang return, Yan Bin ran towards him as if he had seen a savior, and said excitedly: "Master Duan, you are finally back!"

Duan Tianyang frowned and looked at Yan Bin, his tone anxious: "Where are Jin Bao and Xiao Hong?"

Yan Bin's expression became more nervous: "They were captured by a group of people."

Duan Tianyang's heart sank, and he asked, "Where did you catch him?"

"I... I'm not sure either, but I saw that they seemed to be heading towards Xiliang Mountain." Yan Bin replied hurriedly, shaking his head.

"Where is Xiliang Mountain?" Duan Tianyang asked.

Yan Bin pointed in the direction the group left and said, "It's not far outside the north city."

At this time, Xiao Fang, Guan Hu and others also hurried back. On the way, Cao Ge told them everything that had happened.

Among Gary Cao, Jin Bao and Xiao Hong, Gary Cao's cultivation attainments are obviously the highest.

After killing several bandits, he was besieged by another group of men in black.

The other side had a large number of people, and each of them was a powerful martial artist. Cao Ge knew that he was no match for them, and after finally finding an opportunity to withdraw, he decisively chose to retreat. He tried his best and ran quickly out of the city to inform Duan Tianyang.

Xiao Fang, who was always calm and composed, was now in a panic. He ran to Duan Tianyang and said anxiously, "Brother Tian, ​​I want to save my sister!"

Duan Tianyang doesn’t have many friends in modern times, so what he hates most is others touching the people around him.

He patted Xiao Fang's shoulder solemnly and said in a rare serious tone: "You stay at home, I will go and rescue them. Don't worry, I will definitely bring them back safely."

Before he finished speaking, his figure flashed and he rushed out of the courtyard gate and headed straight out of the city.

Duan Tianyang ran quickly in the direction pointed by Yan Bin. After he passed through the north gate and ran a distance, he stopped and looked at the ground.

Clearly visible fresh horse hoof prints came into view. He took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, followed the hoof prints closely, and chased after them.

Duan Tianyang's speed was as fast as a meteor. He followed the horse's hoof prints all the way to Xiliang Mountain.

Then, he rushed up a small hill like an arrow and bent down swiftly.

On the other side of the hill was a depression, in which stood a dozen horses and some men in black.

Judging from their clothing, they were exactly the same as the black-clad corpse that died in their own yard.

Not far away, there seemed to be a figure swaying in a mud house.

Duan Tianyang took a quick glance and made a preliminary assessment of the enemy's situation.

Then, he moved cautiously and approached the back of the earthen house.

There were several men standing in the mud house, including Li Qing, Chen Zhong, Wang Yuan and Liu Wei.

There are two people lying in the corner. Who else could it be but Jin Bao and Xiao Hong?

Their wrists were tied with ropes and they were lying on the ground with their eyes closed, apparently unconscious.

Li Qing paced back and forth in the earthen house, his brows furrowed, and he was obviously in deep thought.

Liu Wei walked towards him and asked worriedly, "Li Qing, if Duan Tianyang really succeeds in stopping the foreigners, should we leave a way out for ourselves?"

Chen Zhong pointed at Jin Bao and Xiao Hong on the ground and agreed, "That's right, Duan Tianyang and his men are not easy to mess with. Once we hand these two people over to Lord Su, there will be no way out. If Duan Tianyang comes to seek revenge in the future, we will be in trouble."

Li Qing stopped and looked around at everyone, asking, "So, in your opinion, how should we respond now?"

Wang Yuan pondered for a moment and suggested, "I think we should wait here for news. If Duan Tianyang really succeeds in repelling the barbarians, we will send them back and put the blame on the barbarians, claiming that it was a misunderstanding. Anyway, we were masked at the time, so they couldn't know our identities. If the city gate is lost, we will hand them over to Lord Su and ask for reward."

"That makes sense. This is the safest approach." Chen Zhong and Liu Wei nodded, expressing their agreement with Wang Yuan's strategy.

Li Qing glanced at the three of them and said with a complicated expression: "Lord Su has been very kind to us, how can we treat him like this?"

Wang Yuan reminded him softly, "Li Qing, we are collecting money and helping people get rid of disasters. If we sacrifice our lives for this, it would be unreasonable, right? What's more, we have not abandoned him, we are just waiting for news here temporarily."

However, Li Qing did not back down. He responded firmly, "No! The person has been kidnapped. We must hand him over to Lord Su as soon as possible!"

"Your life is really worthless, Li Qing!" At this time, a voice came from outside the window.

The four of them were startled when they heard this, and all looked out the window.

Just as they were staring out the window, a figure suddenly leaped in from the rear window. His armor was covered in blood and he was holding an exquisite sword.

When they took a closer look, they found that the man's face was not covered by armor, revealing an extremely handsome face, especially his eyes, which were so bright that people dared not look directly at them.

"Duan Tianyang!" Li Qing and the other three exclaimed in unison, the shock in their hearts was beyond words.

The four of them drew out the swords from their ribs almost reflexively, and the sharp blades instantly pointed at Duan Tianyang.

At the same time, the men in black outside were also attracted by the sudden noise and rushed to the door.

When they saw Duan Tianyang standing in the house, the expressions on their faces froze for a moment.

Duan Tianyang looked around and faced everyone without revealing the slightest fear in his eyes.

He said in a firm voice: "I will only say this once, you must listen carefully. Now, put down your weapons, call me Brother Tianyang, and I can give you a chance to live!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhong, Liu Wei and Wang Yuan put down the knives in their hands.

The fact that Duan Tianyang was able to come here means that he has guarded the city gate and even thousands of soldiers cannot shake him in the slightest.

How could these people on our side be his opponents?
