Scourge Messenger

Chapter 135 Forging the Hand of a Hundred Aspects
Helan Que is not dead yet.

Although the third-tier rare item 'Mirror Armor' was shattered by the Pharmacist's carefully planned attack, the most powerful yet most useless characteristic of the Mirror Armor is that when it breaks, it forms a defensive barrier that can block any attack, even Foundation Establishment attacks. At the same time, the messenger will gain recovery power equivalent to taking a hundred Blood Replenishing Pills, and can almost survive unless he is decapitated.

escape!
Even if the pharmacist's wish would cause a great disaster in the future, Helan Que could only flee.

He cannot die. His keepsakes are all the finest items from his family's military town. If he loses them here, he will truly be beyond redemption, and the strength of the Helan family will decline significantly because of him!

But he wanted to escape, and how could the pharmacist and the young girl just stand by and watch?

Unfortunately, the previous attack had almost broken Yaoshi Yuan's spear in two, so she had no choice but to use the broken spear to entangle Helan Que.

With the effects of the Cloud-Clever Pill still active and Helan Que possessing a superior weapon, he could easily suppress Yaoshi Yuan's pursuit. However, the little girl leaped up and thrust at his throat, and since he had no defensive artifacts, he could only use his scimitar to parry.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
After a series of lightning-fast pursuits, Helan Que was not far from the horses. At this moment, his heart calmed down. Although Yaoshi Yuan was strong, he lacked stamina. Although the little girl was resolute, she was not good at fighting. As long as he could get on the horse, he could escape this calamity. As for how to deal with these two... let Duke Wei worry about it.

Ding!
The little girl thrust her sword at his throat as usual, and Helan Que still used his scimitar to defend himself. But this time, he heard an extremely ominous sound from the scimitar.

Snapped.

The rare blue light dissipated, and the blade shattered into dozens of pieces. This rare sword, which had been with him for decades and which he regularly cherished with four hundred spirit jades, had actually broken!?

However, he could no longer mourn for his beloved sword, because the little girl's longsword was once again thrusting towards his throat!
Left with no other choice, Helan Que could only swing his spear to parry, but how could Yaoshi Yuan on the other side let this opportunity pass? He gripped his spear tightly and plunged it into Helan Que's left abdomen, twisting it violently inside!
Helan Que let out a painful groan, but his steps did not falter at all. The restorative power brought by the Mirror Armor was enough to help him withstand most of the injuries!

hum.

Suddenly, Helan Que felt dizzy, his head felt like it was boiling, his body felt as heavy as lead, and he was also drowsy. He immediately realized that this was the effect of the Yunqiao Pill wearing off, which would cause his blood, spirit, and agility to decrease significantly in the next fifteen minutes.

Under normal circumstances, this slight decrease would be negligible to him, not even causing discomfort. But now, severely injured, the negative effects of Yun Qiao Dan were the final straw that broke the camel's back, completely crushing him!

Sizzle! Crack!
This time, the longsword and broken spear were aimed at Helan Que's knee. Even with his powerful regenerative abilities, he could no longer run with his knee structure shattered.

Helan Que fell to the ground, his meticulously groomed face covered in mud, the once-refined man now utterly disheveled. He opened his eyes and stared at the little girl, a flash of realization crossing them, as if he had discovered a colossal secret. His voice trembled as he cried out, "I remember now, I remember now! Reflective weapons, damaged tokens... your legendary gauntlets belong to Liang—"

呲!
The pharmacist was willing to pull out the broken spear and immediately stab it into Helan Que's head.

The Duke of Heyang of the Zhou State, who served as a messenger for three terms, was known as the "Hunter Madman" Helan Que, and died.

"The Duke of Heyang...is dead!"

"he died!"

"Uhhhhh!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the surviving soldiers collapsed, turned around, and fled on their horses. The military commander's face was extremely grim, but after a moment's hesitation, he also fled.

Helan Que was their benefactor. Now that Helan Que is dead, if they go back, they will only be executed by the Helan family. They have no choice but to run away... and the price will be that their families will be executed as a result, unless they secretly go back now to pick up their families.

Seeing that the pursuers outside had all fled, Wu Qiu Shi Dong cautiously emerged from the bushes. "Miss!"

"Miss... Waaah... I thought this time, this time..."

Shi Dong was practically a walking water bottle; tears never stopped flowing. She came over and grabbed Yao Shi Yuan's sleeve, sobbing. Wu Qiu looked at Yao Shi Yuan and then at the little girl, saying, "Miss, this time we really owe a debt to the Rabbit Girl for her help."

"Bunny Girl," she said, pulling Shi Dong to a deep bow. "Without you, we would not be safe and sound. We can never repay your life-saving grace. In the future, if you ever need our help, as long as you don't object, Wu Qiu and Shi Dong will certainly—"

“There’s no need,” Yaoshi interrupted them, looking at the little girl and saying, “Bunny Girl, you saved us this time, and I, Yaoshi, owe you a favor. As long as I’m alive, you can come to me anytime to repay this favor, no matter what your request is, even if it’s to assassinate a Foundation Establishment messenger. If I even frown, I’m not Yaoshi.”

Wu Qiu hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself. The reason she wanted to thank Yao Shiyuan before he could was to limit this favor to the girl and herself, so that if the girl had any requests, they would only concern them... Her gratitude to the girl was genuine, but her friendship with Yao Shiyuan, which had lasted for more than ten years, was even more genuine. She didn't want Yao Shiyuan to repay this favor on their behalf... In her heart, Yao Shiyuan was much more important than them.

“Perfect timing, I have a request.” The young girl sheathed her sword.

"Please speak," the pharmacist said, raising an eyebrow.

"I want to go to Shudao Mountain, but I don't know the way very well. There's not much anyone around here to ask for directions. Do you know the way?"

The pharmacist exchanged a glance with Wu Qiu Shi Dong, unable to hide the joy in her eyes. She cleared her throat: "We are also going to Shu Dao Mountain. If you would like, you can come with us."

"Okay." The little girl nodded, then squatted down and touched Helan Que's smashed head.

"Wait!" Wu Qiu quickly stopped her: "Are you trying to loot the body?"

"Ah."

"If you don't mind, please let us do it for you. Bunny Girl, you can watch from the side. We will never hold back anything, so you don't need to dirty your hands," Wu Qiu said sincerely. After all, watching a little girl scavenge corpses was too horrifying, especially since the little girl had already helped them kill so many people. How could they do nothing?

The little girl nodded, and Wu Qiu and Shi Dong immediately cleaned up the site, not only He Lan Que, but also the other corpses on the ground.

During this time, the pharmacist looked at the young girl, then at her legendary gauntlets, and after a moment's thought, asked directly, "Your surname is Shao?"

"No."

"Are you from the Liang Kingdom?"

"No."

"Then who are you?"

"My brother said I'm Bunny Girl, and Bunny Girl is Bunny Girl." The little girl looked up at Yaoshi Yuan: "Didn't I introduce myself before? Big sister, are you deaf?"

The pharmacist wasn't angry at all. He pointed at her gloves and asked, "Then why do you have the legendary gauntlets of Emperor Liang Taizu, the Hand of the Hundred Forms?"
