THE VALLEY OF HELL
Chapter 23. Best Steps

In the bamboo forest located between the city of Suchang and the capital city of Zhong Country can be seen fighting between two different groups.

the battle for the second time happened, because the previous band of robbers, now has returned together with an even greater force.

The other group was led by Chen Song, while the other group was a group of robbers who used all black clothes and wore masks.

"Damn! it turned out that they had come back with even more!" Chen Song grumbled.

"chair Chen! it seems we have made the wrong decision to bury the bodies.if we continue our journey, surely they will not be able to find us in this place." said Bian Que.

Chen Zhu who saw those attributes instantly remembered the group that attacked the Valley of Medicine.

"It seems like it's my chance to be able to avenge my entire family" Chen Zhu thought as he slashed at every masked figure he met.

Chen Song who saw the savagery of his adopted son who did not forgive every opponent he met immediately thought of the picture twelve years ago where he saved Chen Zhu who was also Fan Zhu.

"Looks like he's already got his grudge down..."

"If it was like that, fearing that his qi energy could be quickly drained away and make himself get a very serious loss..."

"I must immediately stop his actions" closed Chen Song who attempted to approach Chen Zhu while incapacitating any members of the robbers who attacked him.

On the other hand, Sung Yunzhi also now began to feel overwhelmed by the attacks of the robbers who did have a lot more than their number.

Sung Yunzhi occasionally releases qi energy combined with his air element to be able to once paralyze some of the robbers who gang up on him.

"Why do their numbers seem endless? If it continues like this, I will run out of strength to be able to face them" Sung Yunzhi slammed down while gritting his teeth.

"Archer squad, quickly fire arrows at the four people!" The orders of a man who was their chairman while pointing towards the four people.

Dozens of arrows were immediately shot towards the four people he meant. That is to Chen Song, Chen Zhu, Sung Yunzhi and also to the head of the subordinate bodyguard of the noble Bian Que.

The action produced results in accordance with the wishes of the chairman.

Now the four people he meant began to feel overwhelmed by the attacks of dozens of arrows.

"It turns out that the chairman's strategy succeeded in making the four of them start to be too lazy to face our people" said a man who stood beside the chairman.

"Hmmmphh.I want to see how great they are and how long they can survive the onslaught we are launching" the chief replied with a triumphant smile.

"Damn! If the situation is like this, how can we possibly stem their attacks?" Thought Chen Song who could not get close to Chen Zhu.

As for the bodyguards of Bian Que, there were now some who had lost their lives.

"Quick retreat and protect lord Bian Que!" Shouted Chen Song.

He immediately gathered with the guards, who now numbered only fifteen people to protect Bian Que.

"Master! You should immediately go along with all your subordinates from this place to be able to save yourself, because the current situation is no longer possible for us to be able to maintain these items that we carry" said Chen Song.

"Let the three of us try to hold them"

"And for that, set up a formation in order to pave the way for Lord Bian Que's horse carriage" Chen Zhu closed as he left the horse carriage and tried to give way.

Chen Zhu and Sung Yunzhi were now in separate positions, unable to protect each other.

Chen Zhu who often used the power of his fire element now began to look desperate to face the attacks of the robbers who were not intermittent.

It turned out that the robbers had anticipated the abilities that Chen Song and Chen Zhu had.

So that they at that time had used a protector on their front body so as not to be able to get the effect after being exposed to a second fire attack.

Seen only the air element belonging to Sung Yunzhi is still useful because it can cause injuries even though it is not deep.

"Chairman! Looks like they're trying to escape.what should we do?" Ask the man beside her.

"For that, we must be able to quickly collect property and supplies in order to strengthen our troops when carrying out the coup later"

"For that, once we're done with this group, you should immediately return to your respective headquarters to be able to do your job"

"And if you haven't heard from our spies, you'd better go to every village to plunder them"

"Take all the goods and people who can make us money"

"And for every girl you find, I hope you won't drop her sale value.if that happens, anyone should be put to death"

"Have you heard and understood what I said?" Ask the chairman to be sure.

"We understand!" Answer the four figures standing beside him who were none other than the leaders of the four groups scattered in each forest that were between several cities.

"Chairman! It seems like now that only the three of them are left, what should we do to them?" Ask a man.

"It looks like the woman will make a lot of money.Capture her and if the two men want to escape, just let it go!" The chairman's orders.

"Good! If so, I also join forces to be able to end this fight immediately" said a leader.

"No need! We have to use our brains to deal with this warrior Chen's tough figure" The chief prevented one of the leaders of the robber group.

"Continue firing arrows at the three of them!" The chairman gave the order.

The flame shield was immediately created by Chen Song to repel the attacks of dozens of arrows that shot towards him and immediately shot closer to Chen Zhu whose position was closer than Sung Yunzhi's.

"Zhu! Quickly protect Miss Sung Yunzhi and get the hell out of here!" Chen Song exclaimed while dispelling dozens of arrows and also the assaults of the robbers to give Chen Zhu time.

"What about dad?" Reply Chen Zhu.

"Do you doubt the abilities you have? Come on, let's go!" Chen Song replied and went back to tell Chen Zhu to leave.

Finally it was immediately done by Chen Zhu who had already understood their situation at that time which was getting desperate.

"Yun! Let's get out of this place!" Invite Chen Zhu while dismissing the arrows and the attacks of the robbers.

"What about Elder Chen?"

"There's no need to hesitate with his ability.At the moment, he's trying to give time to both of us to be able to leave this place." Reply Chen Zhu who immediately pulled Sung Yunzhi's hand.

Both of them immediately used the science of lightening the body to be able to leave the place.

Seeing that the two young warriors had already left, Chen Song immediately did the same by going in different directions.

His actions were to be able to distract most of the robbers from chasing Chen Zhu and Sung Yunzhi.

"Don't let that woman get away! Hurry up and chase them!" The chairman's orders.

But his actions did not go as he wished, for none of the robbers followed him.

After a while leaving the battleground, Chen Song finally realized that not a single member of the robbers was chasing him.

"Damn! They didn't want to chase me... Aren't they going after Zhu'er and Miss Sung Yunzhi?" Chen Song muttered and immediately returned to be able to confirm that.

Now Chen Song was on top of two bamboo tree tips while paying attention to the situation below.

"It seems like they were only focused on our luggage and did not make any pursuit towards the two" Chen Song thought slightly feeling uneasy.

While the group of robbers have now prepared to leave the place while carrying their booty.

"I'd better catch up with both of them soon to know the condition of both.because if I follow the bandits, I'm afraid something has happened to them both" Chen Song continued to think and left that place.
