Chapter - 441 The Brides Pale Arms Parts the Red Clothing (16) (1/2)

”Zhang Gongzi,” Zhao Min called out, ”If you want to save Yifu, you must save me first.”

Seeing he could not change his sister's mind, Wang Baobao was very anxious. He reached out and grabbed her. Putting her in front of him on the saddle, his legs squeezed and the horse jumped forward and ran.

Zhao Min's martial art skill was actually higher than her brother, but her strength was gone because of the heavy injury; all she could do was crying out, ”Zhang Gongzi, save me! Zhang Gongzi, save me!”

'Whoosh! Whoosh!' Zhang Wuji sent out two palm attacks with all his power, forcing the Xuanming Elders to withdraw three steps backward. Utilizing his 'qing gong' [lightness skill], he ran after Wang Baobao's horse.

The Xuanming Elders and the three warriors were shocked; they also ran after him. Each time these five people were closing in, Zhang Wuji would launch a backward palm strike, sending out the formidable power of his Jiu Yang Shen Gong [divine energy from Jiu Yang]. Each time his palm struck, the Xuanming Elders were forced to evade, since they did not dare to take his palm head on.

After three times of such strike, Zhang Wuji was able to take the speeding horse over. He leaped up and grabbed the back of Wang Baobao's neck. His grab was coupled with an acupoint sealing technique that Wang Baobao's upper body was immediately paralyzed and his embrace on Zhao Min loosened. Zhang Wuji lifted him up and threw him toward Lu Zhangke.

Lu Zhangke hastily opened up his arms to catch him. Meanwhile, Zhang Wuji had caught Zhao Min, leaped down from the horseback, and dashed toward the hillside on their left. He Biweng and the rest of the warriors ran after them shouting and yelling. But the hill was several hundred 'zhang's tall, climbing it would really test their 'qing gong'. Although the Xuanming Elders possessed strong internal energy, their 'qing gong' was actually not top-ranking. Even four or five warriors were able to run ahead of He Biweng.

Zhang Wuji picked up some rocks and threw them down. Immediately some of the pursuers were hit and fell rolling down the hill. The rest of the pursuers were scared. Although they did not dare to stop because their young prince was watching, their steps were slowing down nonetheless. They saw Zhang Wuji carry Zhao Min higher up the hill and they did not dare to pursue farther.

Wang Baobao opened his mouth to curse, and then he called out, ”Release the arrow, release the arrow!” While he also picked up his bow and shoot. 'Swish!' the arrow flew toward Zhang Wuji's back.

His shooting power was actually quite strong, but the distance was simply too far. The tip of the arrow was still a few 'zhang's away from Zhang Wuji's back when finally it fell down to the ground.

Zhao Min was holding tight on Zhang Wuji's neck. Knowing that the pursuers had stopped pursuing, finally she put her heart at rest. She said with a sigh, ”Luckily I have known it all along and did not tell you Xie Daxia's whereabouts. Otherwise you, the heartless little devil head, will not be willing to save me with all your might.”

Zhang Wuji was running around a depression on the mountain, his steps were not slowing down the least bit. ”You tell me,” he said, ”Won't you be satisfying both sides if you are going home to tend to your injury? Why did you even bother to offend your brother and come with me facing the hardship?”

”I have decided to face hardship with you,” Zhao Min said, ”As for that brother of mine, I will offend him sooner or later anyway. My only fear is that you won't let me be with you. I don't care much of everything else.”

Although Zhang Wuji knew that she loved him, he had always thought that it was a young girl's infatuation, which would pass in a moment. He had never thought that she loved him this much that she would consider riches and honor as dung and dirt, abandon royalty and honor like worn-out shoes. He looked down on her face, and saw the deep emotion on her thin and pale visage; her eyes were looking back at him with a passion similar to the flowing waves. He could not even describe the boundless charm she had on him. Unable to restrain himself, he lowered his head and kissed her slightly trembling cherry lips.

As soon as she was kissed, Zhao Min's face turned completely red. The excitement was too much for her and she unexpectedly passed out.

Zhang Wuji possessed enough medical knowledge to know that she was all right; actually, the appreciation in his heart was growing. But suddenly he remembered, ”Even Zhiruo has never treated me this good!”

Zhao Min only lost her conscience for a moment; as she woke up, she saw his pensive look and asked, ”What are you thinking? Are you thinking about Miss Zhou?”
