The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 184: Treasure Fight

Nangong Yi and Zhao Wan'er carefully packed the treasure emitting mysterious light into a special brocade box and set off on their return journey with their guards. They were full of joy thinking about bringing the treasure back to the family and making the Nangong family more prosperous.

However, their whereabouts were discovered by other forces at some point. When they passed through a narrow valley, they suddenly heard shouts of killing. A group of men in black jumped down from the cliffs on both sides of the valley like ghosts and surrounded them in an instant.

The black-clad men all had cold eyes and strong murderous aura. The leader was tall and his eyes revealed greed and determination. "Hand over the treasure and I will spare your life!" He shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the valley.

Nangong Yi tightly guarded the brocade box containing the treasure, his eyes full of vigilance. "Don't even think about it! We found this treasure after going through untold hardships, and we will never let you take it away."

The leader of the men in black sneered and waved his hand, and his men immediately rushed forward. The battle broke out instantly, and the guards quickly met the enemy and started a fierce fight with the men in black.

The sound of swords clashing was heard constantly, and blood splattered in the air. The men in black relied on their numerical advantage to launch continuous fierce attacks. They coordinated well, some attacked head-on, and some attacked from the flanks, leaving the guards overwhelmed.

Nangong Yi and Zhao Wan'er also joined the battle. Nangong Yi wielded his long sword, and the shadow of the sword flashed through the air like lightning, repelling the black-clothed men who rushed towards them one by one. Zhao Wan'er held a short sword, flexibly dodging the enemy's attacks and looking for opportunities to counterattack.

The leader of the men in black was getting impatient after seeing that he had been attacking for a long time. He took action himself, and his figure flashed like a ghost, and in an instant he came in front of Nangong Yi, stabbing him fiercely with the long sword in his hand. Nangong Yi hurriedly raised his sword to block, and the two swords collided in the air, making a crisp sound.

The leader of the men in black was extremely powerful, and Nangong Yi was shocked and retreated repeatedly. But he did not retreat at all, and swung his sword again to meet the enemy. The two of them fought back and forth, and the battle entered a white-hot stage.

Nangong Yi and the leader of the men in black looked at each other, and there seemed to be electricity flowing in the air, and a tense atmosphere spread. Nangong Yi tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, and his knuckles turned slightly white due to the force. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk, staring at the leader of the men in black.

The leader of the men in black had a sinister look on his face, with the long sword in his hand pointing diagonally at the ground, and the sword reflected a cold light. He moved slightly, and his figure rushed forward like a ghost in an instant, with a speed so fast that it was shocking. The long sword in his hand drew a sharp arc in the air, directly approaching Nangong Yi's throat.

Nangong Yi reacted very quickly, dodging sideways and raising his sword to block the follow-up attack from the leader of the men in black. The sound of metal collision was crisp and loud, and sparks flew everywhere. Nangong Yi took a few steps back with the recoil force and stabilized his body.

The leader of the men in black didn't hit the target, but he was not discouraged and swung his sword again. His sword skills were strange and varied, sometimes like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, sometimes like a tiger pouncing on its prey, making it hard to defend against. Nangong Yi was fully focused, relying on his agility and rich combat experience to resolve the attacks of the men in black again and again.

Nangong Yi seized an opportunity and suddenly took a step forward, stabbing the black-clad leader's chest with his long sword like lightning. The black-clad leader hurriedly swung his sword to block, but Nangong Yi's power was so great that his arm went numb. Nangong Yi took advantage of the situation and continued to swing his sword to attack, with sword shadows weaving like a weave, dazzling people.

The leader of the men in black was forced to retreat again and again, with a flash of anger in his eyes. He shouted loudly, and his momentum surged instantly, swinging the long sword in his hand more fiercely. He displayed a set of extremely domineering sword techniques, and each sword carried a powerful force, as if it could split mountains and crack rocks.

Nangong Yi felt a huge pressure, but he was not afraid. He calmly analyzed the swordsmanship of the man in black, looking for flaws. Suddenly, he found that there was a tiny flaw on the right side of the leader of the man in black when he swung his sword. Nangong Yi was delighted and immediately seized this opportunity. His long sword stabbed the right side of the leader of the man in black like a spirit snake.

The leader of the men in black was horrified and wanted to dodge but it was too late. The long sword pierced his right arm and blood gushed out. The leader of the men in black roared in pain, his eyes full of resentment and anger.

But he did not give up, but attacked Nangong Yi more frantically. He ignored his injuries and swung his sword desperately, as if he wanted to die with Nangong Yi. Nangong Yi responded calmly, constantly dodging the attacks of the man in black, while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Finally, when the leader of the men in black revealed a fatal flaw, Nangong Yi swung his sword without hesitation. The long sword accurately pierced the heart of the leader of the men in black. The leader of the men in black widened his eyes and slowly fell down.

At the same time, other men in black also continued to attack the guards. Although the guards fought hard, they were outnumbered and gradually could not hold on. Many guards were injured and fell to the ground, but they still fought tenaciously, using their lives to protect the treasure.

With the fall of the leader of the men in black, the other men in black fell into chaos. Nangong Yi took the opportunity to lead the guards to launch a counterattack, and after a fierce battle, they finally repelled the men in black.

They did not dare to stay and quickly took the treasure back home. Although the fight for the treasure was extremely thrilling, they became more determined to protect the treasure.
