Chapter 285: Beardy (1)
He Sanlang’s heart shook. He could no longer care about the escaping Tuhun, instead turning his gaze in Chu Lian’s direction.
His heart almost jumped out of his chest as he processed the sight that met his eyes.
Under the faint, bleak moonlight, he could see that there was an endless cliff in front of Chu Lian!
Chu Lian was about to cry. What was going on with her luck today?
Just now, Chu Lian had put her full concentration on hugging the horse’s neck and sticking onto its back without moving. She was so scared that she just shut her eyes tightly. When she actually heard some fighting and screams behind her, she wanted to open her eyes and turn around to look, but she wasn’t able to!
Even though she knew that help had come, the horse under her was still locked in its mindless craze. It charged towards the chasm in front without pause. Perhaps due to the stab she had given it earlier, the horse wasn’t listening to any commands now.
When she saw that the chasm was just mere metres ahead of her by now, Chu Lian chose to scream as loud as she could, hoping that the rescuer behind her who had stopped the Tuhuns would find her and help her stop the horse.
He Changdi’s expression was as dark as it could get. He ground his molars together and whipped his horse yet again, urging it towards Chu Lian’s direction. However, as fast as his horse was, it was already too late to pull back the mad horse rushing over the cliff.
He Sanlang gripped the reins and pushed himself up to stand on the horse’s back nimbly. He and Chu Lian were just two metres apart by now.
He Changdi used all the strength he could summon from his body and jumped towards Chu Lian with his arms open.
A sudden force from behind pushed Chu Lian off the horse, and she landed in a strong and muscled embrace.
Even though Chu Lian was still out of her wits in fear, when those arms appeared out of nowhere and hugged her, her wildly beating heart seemed to calm down.
Although the two of them had managed to avoid the mad horse, the force He Sanlang had used to push Chu Lian off still caused them to tumble down the steep hillside that looked like a chasm.
