After being exiled with her husband and children, she returned with great power to rule the world

Chapter 218 Ambush

But Murong Ling'er was not very interested in the so-called hegemony in the martial arts world and the secret treasures. In her opinion, these were nothing but illusory fame and fortune that would only bring endless disputes and troubles.

She sighed softly, put the bronze mirror back into the wooden box, and put it into the space.

At this moment, the rapid and sharp cry of the Golden Eagle King suddenly came from outside the cave.

"Master, it's bad! Those exiles were ambushed!" There was a hint of panic and anxiety in the voice of the Golden Eagle King.

"What? Ambush?" Murong Ling'er's face suddenly changed. She stood up suddenly, and a sharp aura emanated from her.

"They were ambushed by a group of vicious bandits. The situation is very critical!" The Golden Eagle King flew into the cave at an extremely fast speed and said breathlessly.

"Go!" Murong Ling'er threw out the black ice shield without hesitation. Her figure flashed and she stood on the shield like a black lightning.

The black ice shield flashed with light, and then it flew out of the cave like an arrow.

The Golden Eagle King didn't have time to catch his breath. He immediately spread his wings again and chased after it with all his might.

On the other side, Chifeng and his group hurried on their journey under the cover of night, never expecting to fall into such a desperate situation.

They thought there would be no danger in this remote forest, but they didn't expect to be targeted by a group of bandits hiding in the dark.

This group of bandits had obviously planned this in advance. They occupied a favorable terrain and blocked the way of Chifeng and others.

Fortunately, Chu Lingfeng, Chu San and others were extremely vigilant and noticed something unusual in advance.

Chu Lingfeng hugged Murong Chen tightly in his arms, and quickly drew out the soft sword with his other hand. The soft sword in his hand was like a nimble poisonous snake, which he swung in an instant, forming an airtight defense barrier.

Chu San led two secret guards and rushed into the enemy camp like ghosts. They were agile and their moves were fierce. They started a fierce life-and-death fight with the bandits.

But the bandits were numerous and extremely ferocious. They all had ferocious expressions on their faces and without saying a word, they waved their swords and slashed wildly.

The convicts were unarmed and were frightened by the sudden attack, so they panicked and fled in all directions.

They had never seen such a bloody scene before. They could only desperately avoid the bandits' pursuit and were completely powerless to resist.

For a moment, shouts and screams intertwined together, echoing throughout the entire forest, breaking the tranquility of the night.

The bandits saw that Chu Lingfeng and the two secret guards were very skilled in martial arts and had killed many of their brothers in the blink of an eye, and they couldn't help but feel timid.

These bandits, who were used to being domineering, burning, killing and looting, were now frightened by the powerful strength of their opponents.

The leader standing at the front of the group of bandits was a man with a hideous face. His face was covered with ugly scars crisscrossing each other, as if they were the marks of sin left by the years. Under the reflection of the blazing fire, those scars were even more shocking and creepy.

His strong and powerful right hand tightly grasped a huge nine-link sword. The blade was extremely sharp, and it emitted a heart-pounding cold light in the night.

At this moment, a small, pointed-faced thug timidly approached the leader. His voice trembled slightly with fear, but his eyes could not hide his greed for wealth and power. "Boss! Look at this situation. How on earth are we going to start the plunder?"

"Humph! Now that we're here, we're going to rob!" The bandit leader jerked his head, the veins on his neck bulging as he roared viciously, "Hurry up, and don't forget to find someone. If you're lazy, I'll chop you all into pieces and feed them to the wolves!"

With that, the bandits rushed towards the exile group like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey. They were nimble and strong, brandishing their sharp blades, and shouts of killing filled the air.

Yuan Zhiqiang's face was pale. He never expected that this group of bandits would rush towards the women with a clear goal. The officers under his command were already scared to the point of their legs going weak. If it weren't for Chu Lingfeng's secret guards fighting desperately in the front, the situation would have collapsed in an instant.

However, the bandits were numerous and came in waves like a tide. Although the secret guards were highly skilled in martial arts, they were outnumbered and gradually became unable to cope.

In the grass not far away, Sun Ying hugged her younger brother Sun Shaojie tightly. The siblings' bodies were shaking constantly, and their hearts were beating violently in their chests, as if they were about to burst through their chests.

They looked at the chaotic and bloody scene in front of them in horror, not daring to breathe.

What was strange was that after the bandits captured the female prisoners, they did not kill them or rob them as usual. Instead, they roughly turned their faces towards the firelight and looked at them carefully, as if they were looking for someone important.

Sun Ying was full of doubts and was thinking to herself when suddenly, a sharp-eyed bandit seemed to be attracted by something. He turned his head abruptly and looked straight at the bushes where she was hiding with his sharp eyes.

In an instant, their eyes met, and Sun Ying felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

"Not good!" Sun Ying cried out softly. Without thinking too much, she pulled Sun Shaojie up, turned around and ran wildly into the dark woods behind her.

"Stop! They're over there, don't let them run away!" The gangster yelled at the top of his lungs, his voice cutting through the night sky. Then, a group of gangsters chased after them with knives in their hands.

Sun Ying felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat. The wind was whistling in her ears, and the footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer.

She didn't understand why these bandits targeted her. Fear wrapped around her like a vine, almost suffocating her.

"Sister, I can't run anymore..." Sun Shaojie cried, his little face twisted with fear, and his steps became heavier and heavier.

"Shaojie, hold on, we can't be caught by them!" Sun Ying was anxious and pulled Sun Shaojie's hand hard, trying to speed up.

However, Sun Shaojie was young after all. In his panic, he was suddenly tripped by a branch lying on the ground and fell forward.

"Shaojie!" Sun Ying exclaimed and hurriedly stopped to help Sun Shaojie.

At this moment, the bandits behind him were getting closer and closer. Their ferocious faces looked particularly terrifying under the light of the fire, and they kept shouting terrifying swear words.

Sun Ying was extremely anxious. She looked around and found a big tree not far away with a thick trunk and lush branches and leaves.

Without thinking too much, she used all her strength to pull Sun Shaojie up and ran towards the big tree.

The two hid behind a large tree. Sun Ying covered Sun Shaojie's mouth tightly, not daring to breathe. She stared intently at the movements around her, praying that the bandits wouldn't discover them...
