Chapter 257: Robbing the robbers
Several rough, bulky bandits abruptly sprang out from behind Janet. They grinned and shot towards Han Shuo.
These fellows all seemed to have cultivated fighting aura. Each bandit was about two meters tall, and emitted a pressure as fierce as a bear. Their momentum alone was enough to shock people.
“Eh, sorry, I still have something to do, so I can’t stay here long.” Of course Han Shuo wasn’t scared. When he saw these big guys closing in, he quickly shot up and slipped out of the besiegement of the surrounding men like an eel.
His speed suddenly accelerated like that of a leopard. Han Shuo leapt onto a huge tree with just a tap of his foot, then leapt backwards more than ten meters. It seemed like he’d soon be able to escape the encirclement of bandits.
“Damn it! Capture him alive for me! There must be something up with this brat!” Janet was furious. She suddenly and fiercely shot towards Han Shuo, and was actually able to move elegantly among the shrubs, her eyes fixed on Han Shuo without letting go.
Several bandits had already fired a series of arrows and spears at Han Shuo as per Janet’s order. However, they’d all heard her say “alive”, so they didn’t dare to aim these attacks at him, but instead, shot at the path that he was aiming for.
Han Shuo grinned. His body flashed left and right, up and down in an odd fashion. He only stuck to the middle of the forest and changed directions with an extremely quick speed. Not only did he avoid all of the attacks, he even leisurely explained, “Hey, miss bandit, you shouldn’t chase me like this, I’m really no spy.”
“You say you’re not a spy, but why are you running as if you are a spy?” Janet was still in hot pursuit as she furiously roared, “Brothers, who cares if he’s a spy or not? Get him!”
This bandit group wasn’t weak. The big guys that were chasing Han Shuo under Janet’s order all had the strength of senior swordsmen. There were several shabbily dressed mages, whose power were also similar. Han Shuo would be in big trouble if they all worked together to stop him.
The green fighting aura was the signature of a senior swordsmen. From Han Shuo’s experience, Janet could, at most, withstand about thirty percent of the power from his magical yuan. However, even though Janet’s fighting aura scattered when their punches collided, her small fist still emitted a terrifying force.
If it wasn’t for Han Shuo’s unusually tough body, her punch could have crippled his right hand. To his understanding, the green fighting aura of a senior swordsman absolutely couldn’t cause such a great force.
This female bandit was a little strange!
“Keke!” Janet revealed a satisfying laugh at Han Shuo’s horrified face. Then her space ring flashed and a studded club, bigger than her body appeared. She easily held the studded club in her left hand and giggled as she leapt up towards Han Shuo using the high trees around. Han Shuo had yet to fall down when the studded club viciously aimed at his waist and smashed downwards.
Han Shuo snorted coldly. He had just showed some goodwill and didn’t expect to eat a loss in return. Seeing Janet pound her studded club right at his lower body, he became somewhat angry. His body that was hit dizzy by the strong force earlier suddenly halted mid-air, as he aimed a similar punch right at Janet’s studded club.
Rumble. A huge sound rang out, followed by Janet’s surprised yelp. She was using the tree trunks to leap up, but now, both her body and studded club were fiercely smashed back down. As her butt slammed on the ground, Janet looked at the proud Han Shuo standing mid-air, aghast.
“Motherfecker son of a b*tch! Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!” Janet couldn’t help but let out a vulgar curse. Her breathing was heavy for a while before she took hold of the studded club, wanting to fight again.
Han Shuo was shocked. He didn’t expect Janet to be able to stand up so quickly. Not letting him make a move again, the big mercenaries around them rushed up together. The old crippled mage Billy was also finished chanting his spell. Chilling winds whistled as they churned into piercing sharp wind blades, whizzing forwards.
He was actually a wind archmage! Han Shuo was stunned for a moment. Now that he knew of Janet’s power, he didn’t continue to stay here.
He flew to hide himself in the foliage of the tree behind them, then made a few leaps and dropped down to a carriage that belonged to the bandits. As soon as he landed, he used the Demonslayer Edge to slice open the carriage’s top. While everyone wasn’t paying attention, he grabbed a blithely unaware young woman, suppressed her strength, and flew out.
“You rogue, let me go! Hurry and let me go, or Janet definitely won’t let you off!” This young woman was utterly beautiful, arching crescent eyebrows, a pair of clear and bright eyes. Her voice was soft even though she was yelling angrily.
“Janet, I’m taking this girl away. If you want to rescue her, come to the Soul Destroyer mercenary band.” Han Shuo seized the young woman without any care for her shouting. He laughed loudly and left grandly.
“Scoundrel! Let go of my wife, or else I’ll never be finished with you!” Janet was raging as she roared to the heavens, then she constantly and vulgarly cursed. She hadn’t a bit of the manner that a gentle girl should have had.
