Gou Dai fled in panic, but fortunately, most of the bandits were besieging the guards of the Plum Blossom Martial Arts Hall, so there weren't many bandits pursuing in this direction.

"Everyone, don't panic, hold your ground and form a defensive formation, we still have the strength to fight!"

The voice of Mei Nianzhi came from behind, somewhat anxious.

The accompanying guards of this merchant convoy numbered over a hundred people, and aside from the guards from the Plum Blossom Martial Arts Hall who were still fighting the bandits, the rest had no intention to resist, fleeing in disorder and in disarray.

Gou Dai glanced back and sneered, "Who's foolish enough to stay here and die with you!"

Then he called to the few Evil Wolf Gang guards beside him, "Let's escape quickly, ignore them, leave the goods for those bandits, staying alive is what matters most."

"The Young Master is right."

The members of the Evil Wolf Gang were feared in Changze County, bullying the villagers with no one daring to provoke them.

But when faced with these ruthless bandits, they were scared to death.

In the brief moment when they engaged the bandits, three members of the Evil Wolf Gang had already been cut down, killed on the spot!

Just then, Gou Dai saw Chen Tang standing up slowly on the last carriage, bow bent with an arrow ready.

"He's going to act? What a foolhardy move."

Gou Dai thought to himself with glee, "This is good; once he acts, he'll surely draw the attention of the bandits. Our chances of survival will greatly increase, and he won't escape death!"

"Let me add fuel to the fire."

As the distance between them closed, Gou Dai's mind raced, and he suddenly shouted, "Please, Young Hero Tiger Subduing, take action and slay the bandits!"

Whoosh!

The arrow flew like a meteor!

A flash of black light passed.

Gou Dai was mid-sentence when he saw Chen Tang's bow like a full moon, the feathered arrow already released.

But the arrow was flying directly at him!

Too fast.

The distance between them was no more than ten zhang.

At this distance, even a Ninth Grade Martial Artist might not dodge a full-strength arrow from a One-Stone Bow!

Gou Dai never expected Chen Tang would attack him in front of so many people!

How dared he kill so openly?

The black flash in his pupils grew larger.

The entire process seemed extremely prolonged.

But when he came to his senses, his chest felt cold, followed by intense pain.

A massive impact force hurled him through the air!

The feathered arrow pierced through Gou Dai's chest with little hindrance, still powerful enough to hit a bandit pursuing from behind in the abdomen.

This bandit screamed and fell to the ground.

Gou Dai lay on the cold snowy ground, eyes fixed on the dim sky, uncontrollably spitting blood, with only one thought in his mind: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."

The remaining Evil Wolf Gang members were terrified by this scene, halting in their tracks.

They cast a glance at Gou Dai.

There was no way he'd survive.

Exchanging glances, they paused briefly before continuing their escape!

The bandits pursuing noticed Chen Tang had already injured one of their comrades with one arrow, their expressions changing as they turned their focus towards Chen Tang.

Chen Tang leapt off the carriage, advancing rather than retreating, gripping the bow in one hand and several feathered arrows in the other, his movements ceaseless, continuously drawing and releasing arrows.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Feathered arrows pierced the air, like a string of pearls, shooting towards the seven advancing bandits!

The distance was too close, and with both parties rushing towards each other, coupled with Chen Tang's unparalleled precision in archery, three bandits were shot dead on the spot!

"Retreat, quickly retreat!"

"Create distance from him!"

The remaining four bandits shouted loudly, halting and retreating.

Thus, an eerie scene unfolded on the main road.

A tall young man, holding a bow and arrow, advanced relentlessly, forcing four bandits to slash wildly with their blades as they fell back, utterly defeated!

One bandit, not watching his step, stumbled over a corpse, nearly falling.

Pop!

The bandit's head exploded from an arrow strike, killing him instantly!

This seemed less like bandits chasing a merchant convoy and more like Chen Tang hunting bandits!

Among them, two bandits were skillful, using long knives to deflect the incoming arrows, but the second arrow followed instantly, giving them no respite.

Pop!

The bandit lifted his knife to deflect the incoming arrow, leaving a huge gap in his chest, and before he could draw back his knife, the second feathered arrow had pierced his chest!

The interval between the two arrows was extremely short, allowing almost no reaction time.

In the blink of an eye, the remaining three bandits were also successively shot dead by Chen Tang!

His pouch of feathered arrows was now empty.

Chen Tang walked towards the front of the battlefield, picking up some arrows from the dead bodies along the way.

He could ignore the others, but Mei Nianzhi and his daughter must be saved.

Not to mention his relationship with Mei Yingxue, even earlier when he disciplined those young troublemakers, Mei Nianzhi did not intervene, which was actually a form of support.

The remaining arrows were few, and he needed to conserve them.

Inside the carriage.

Qingmu said, "Master, you take care of Zhiwei, I'll go outside to help."

If she stayed, she might not be able to protect Zhiwei fully.

Only the fat old man remaining in the carriage was the safest option.

The fat old man nodded, his ears twitching slightly, "Someone's coming, you probably won't need to act."

Mei Yingxue was unable to withstand the attack from the two bandits.

Her skills weren't necessarily inferior.

But her combat experience was lacking, especially in such life-and-death struggles.

In terms of aura, she was suppressed by the opposing bandits, and once her courage faltered, she couldn't even utilize half of her full abilities.

Whoosh!

The sound of an arrow piercing through the air echoed, sharp and piercing!

A bandit fighting Mei Yingxue was instantly pierced through!

The remaining bandit's face changed drastically, his movements faltering.

Mei Yingxue seized the opportunity, striking with her sword and piercing the man's throat.

Blood blossomed on the bandit's throat like plum blossoms.

Mei Yingxue panted heavily, instinctively turning her head to see Chen Tang, bow drawn and arrow ready, striding over with fierce determination!

For some reason, Mei Yingxue's nose tingled, and her eyes slightly reddened.

"Be careful."

Chen Tang brushed past her, offering a warning, picking up arrows from the dead by her side, and drawing his bow once more.

Whoosh!

An arrow pierced through the air!

A bandit engaging Mei Nianzhi was shot and fell, struggling a bit before succumbing.

Chen Tang's recent arrow was meticulously timed, hitting the bandit just as he was between exerting force against Mei Nianzhi, unable to evade.

One arrow right on target!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Chen Tang continued to act, seizing moments when the enemies were off-guard, hitting with every shot!

The situation here finally grabbed the bandits' attention.

"Kill him first!"

Immediately, over twenty bandits charged at Chen Tang, giving him more priority than even Mei Nianzhi!

With few arrows left, and although his archery was exceptional, even with enough arrows, Chen Tang couldn't face over twenty bandits head-on.

He began to retreat, trying to maintain distance from the bandits.

He would seize moments to strike when gaps appeared.

The sound of intense hoofbeats erupted, shaking the ground!

"Little brother, excellent archery!"

A clear voice called out from afar.
