The carriage continued to shuttle through the dark forest when suddenly, a sharp arrow with a whistling wind came from behind.
The man pulled out the Jade Hairpin from his head, gathering Inner Strength in his arm instantly, and threw it quickly towards the arrow, just in time to intercept it before it hit the carriage.
A group of men in black were in hot pursuit from behind, almost upon them. The man could only abandon the reins and leapt onto the roof of the carriage, blocking the incoming rain of swords.
Without anyone steering, the carriage gradually came to a stop. The man's black eyes flickered with a dark gleam, meeting the dense crowd of people behind them.
The leader in black atop the tree gave a cold order, "Kill without mercy!"
The subordinates in black all charged in unison to besiege the carriage, but the man in front of the carriage fought against a hundred alone, and all assassins who got close to the carriage perished.
