Martial Peak

The Eldest Young Lady’s vision shook. As she looked over the shoulder of this young private guard, she could see more than 100 horses chasing after them. The faces of the horsemen were hideous and gave off a horrifying feeling.

Nevertheless, she had never been calmer than at this moment.

The scene and the feeling were somehow familiar to her, as though she had experienced it before.

However, she had always lived in the Meng Manor, and she had never stepped out of White Jade City before. When had she ever experienced getting hunted down while she was protected by a man?

Did it happen in a dream? Was it an experience from her previous life?

She was supposed to feel uncomfortable in such close contact with a man she didn’t know, but at this moment she was drowned in happiness as she exerted more force with her arms around the young private guard’s neck. It was as though she was trying to merge into his body.

She knew that this man wouldn’t abandon her even if he had to lose his life.

When she saw more than ten arrows coming right at them, she exclaimed, “Watch out!”

Then, her eyes were dazzled by the glint from a sword. Yang Kai didn’t whirl around as the Eldest Young Lady was in front of him. If he turned around, she would be struck by the arrows. Instead, he accurately slashed across the arrows without turning at all, as though there were eyes on the back of his head.

Most of the arrows were warded off, but one of them pierced right into his shoulder.

The Eldest Young Lady stared fixedly at that arrow, which was about the length of an arm. While it was deep in the man’s flesh, not much blood had streamed out. Nevertheless, she felt her chest tightening at the sight of it.

She reckoned that the young private guard must be in pain, but he never even grunted.

More arrows were coming at them while Yang Kai zigzagged to dodge them. The gap between both parties was shortening rapidly, and it was expected that they would be surrounded by their enemies in no time.

All of a sudden, Yang Kai turned left and rushed forward as there was a col over there. Perhaps he could make use of the terrain.

Soon, he dashed past the col with the Eldest Young Lady in his arms. It was a lucky day for him as he soon saw that there was a cave at the bottom of a mountain wall.

The cave wasn’t big as it could accommodate one person.

Yang Kai rushed over and put the Eldest Young Lady down, “Get inside, now!”

The Eldest Young Lady nodded and climbed into the cave on all fours and tried her best to curl up inside it.

When she looked up, she saw the young private guard standing in front of her like a mountain that could fend off all storms.

“What’s your name?” She asked.

“Yang Kai!” He raised his hand to grab the arrow stuck in his shoulder and snapped the shaft off, leaving the tip inside his flesh. He then turned his head and flashed a smile at her, “My name is Yang Kai.”
