Chapter Seventy-Nine: Weird
Li Rong's escape was just an illusion, he knew that a horse thief like Jiu Ye, who was a five-fold horse thief in the Pulse Realm, was also a first-class master among horse thieves, most of them were a small boss or something, and there were at least a dozen people under his command for him to call.

If Li Rong pestered the Ninth Master, then the Ninth Master would definitely send a signal of support to the horse thieves, and there must have been a lot of horse thieves gathered at that time.
But if Li Rong pretended to leave and the Ninth Master had no target, then he would only call a small number of horse thieves to come and join him and continue to search for the attacking enemy.
Sure enough, after making sure that Li Rong was leaving, the Ninth Master immediately blew a whistle, which was very short, and several irregular syllables were emitted in a row.
The horse thief who heard the whistle also responded with a whistle, but only three times.
Jiu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, there were three people who came here to meet him, although there was one less than before, but after experiencing Li Rong's attack, Jiu Ye had already developed a trace of fear of the enemy who came to attack, and now even if there was one more person standing beside him, he could feel at ease.
However, Li Rong, who had been waiting for a long time, would not give the horse thieves a chance to meet, he chose the direction where the two whistles were close according to the direction from which the whistle came, and chased them over, he wanted to kill the two horse thieves before they met with the Ninth Master.
After walking through the forest for a while, Li Rong climbed the big tree again, found a good cover and squatted on a branch, raised his bow and arrows, and paid attention to the movements around him.
"Rustle—"
Suddenly, a bush not far ahead, swayed, and the bushes parted in both directions, as if someone had passed through them.
Li Rong held his breath and concentrated, the bowstring was pulled to the maximum, and the arrow pointed straight at the end of the bush.
"Wow-"
The bushes were separated, and a figure emerged from the bushes, covered in blood, with a deep bony wound on his chest, front and back, and gushing blood.
The man was panting like a cow, and the excessive blood loss had already made him a little dizzy and weak, but he had no intention of stopping to rest, he subconsciously glanced behind him, looked around again, and made sure that there were no enemies around, so he cautiously walked towards the big tree where Li Rong was crouching.
"Is it? Why is he injured like this?" Li Rong relaxed his bowstring and looked at the visitor with a surprised expression.
The man was none other than Gu Chang, one of the ten leaders who had come to suppress the bandits, his face was pale, his steps were faltering, and there was a trace of horror and hatred in his eyes.
He slowly walked to the big tree where Li Rong was lurking, and leaned his back against the big tree to adjust his breathing.
Gu Chang didn't find Li Rong, and Li Rong didn't rush up to greet him, his target was the two horse thieves who responded to the Ninth Master, and let others do this kind of thing to save people.
At that moment, there was movement in the bushes again, and it was very large, as if someone was running wildly in this direction.
Li Rong looked at the movement in the bushes, and frowned slightly: There were actually three people here!
There was one more enemy than expected, which made Li Rong inevitably hesitate, double shooting was the ultimate he could do at the moment, if the other party came with three people, then when he shot two of them, it would inevitably make the third person send a signal, which might disrupt his entire hunting plan.
"Forget it, let's wait and see, if Gu Chang can entangle one for a while, then I don't mind cooperating with him. Li Rong said secretly.
But at this moment, Li Rong suddenly found that Gu Chang had fled, he glared at the bushes hard, and chose a direction to escape without his life.
Li Rong was very surprised, although Gu Chang was injured, it was not fatal, and the impact on his strength was also very small, so there was no reason why he would flee without a fight.
Besides, Li Rong understands that these horse thieves are all silver-like pewter spear heads, and their cultivation is high, but they are just like a castle in the air, with a vain foundation, and they will fall down when they are pushed.
Li Rong can suppress the fivefold master of the Tongmai Realm like Jiu Ye with a cloud-piercing bow, and his ancient cultivation is the five-fold Tongmai Realm, and he has a low-grade mysterious weapon by his side, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't be afraid of these horse thieves, why did he escape at this time? Could it be that he met a horse thief of the eightfold Tongmai Realm?
Li Rong didn't have time to think about it, because the bushes in front of him had been separated again, but what came out of the bushes was not the horse thief Li Rong expected, but Wang Xian, one of the ten champions who teamed up with Gu Chang!
"Wang Xian?" Li Rong was even more surprised, he thought that the person who came was a horse thief, but he didn't want to be Wang Xian.
Looking at Wang Xian again, the robe on his body was stained with blood, the cuffs and waist were damaged, but it didn't hurt the flesh and skin, and the long knife in his hand was stained with blood, he should have just killed someone.
After rushing out of the bushes, he took a closer look at his surroundings and finally found a pool of blood on the ground.
Chasing this bloodstain, Wang Xian also came to Li Rong lurking under the big tree, he squatted down, touched a handful of the bloodstains left by Gu Chang with his hand, did not raise his head, and continued to follow the bloodstains to Gu Chang.
Li Rong took a deep breath and realized that something was wrong with the situation, this Wang Xian and Gu Chang rushed out from the same direction, Gu Chang was seriously injured, obviously he had encountered a strong enemy, and Wang Xian was after Gu Chang, it stands to reason that he should be responsible for the broken back, but there was no scar on his body, what does this mean? It shows that the horse thief they encountered is not Wang Xian's opponent at all.
But in that case, why did Gu Chang run away? And Pang Kuan, who was also a member of Gu Chang's team, why did he only see Gu Chang and Wang Xian now, but not Pang Kuan? Where did he go?
All kinds of doubts lingered in his heart, so that Li Rong couldn't figure it out for a while.
But at this moment, two figures jumped out of the bushes again, and it was the horse thief entrenched here.
Li Rong glanced at the cultivation of the two horse thieves, both of them were triple in the Tongmai Realm, wearing shabby short fights, with a square scarf on their heads, and a mountain opening knife upside down, which looked a little pretty.
However, this kind of goods is not a threat to Li Rong.
"It's still stuck with the score, and if you cultivate a little higher or a little lower, you'll die?" Li Rong shook his head, feeling unkind to these two.
With his bow and arrows, two purple-gold arrows roared out, bursting into a burst of brilliant golden light in the forest.
As soon as the two horse thieves stood firm on their front and back feet, before they could figure out the situation, they were shot through the throat by these two cold arrows and killed on the spot.
Li Rong is now accustomed to it, these horse thieves who have not cultivated to the fourfold level of the Tongmai Realm are not his opponents at all, plus he is the first to sneak attack, these horse thieves naturally have no way to live.
Li Rong jumped off the branch, drew his dagger, and made a knife in the heart of the horse thief, then he withdrew the arrow, and scavenged their belongings in a familiar way, turned around, and chased in the direction where Wang Xian and Gu Chang had left.
Wang Xian and Gu Chang's performance just now was strange, and Li Rong couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, but his intuition over the years told him that one of these two people must have a problem!
