Chapter 443

Liu Mang’s group made it obvious to the barbarian that the barbarian would be spared if he left . On the other hand, if the barbarian continued to push this matter, they would attack the barbarian forcing him to protect the woman . He would bleed more as he fought, and would not last a long time . As a result, he would die there .

“Step back or die!” It was a simple and precise statement .

“All of you Han people are terrible! I want a carriage!” Liu Mang expected the barbarian to leave as those who did not want to die would choose this option . Instead, the barbarian became even more violent .

“This guy is mad! Does he not want to live?” Liu Mang watched as the barbarian broke out of his encirclement by ignoring his defense . One of Jia Xu’s subordinates managed to slash him and made his injuries worse but the barbarian managed to escape and head straight towards the carriage .

“Carriage! Carriage!” The barbarian shouted as he ran towards Liu Mang and the carriage .

“Milord! Be careful!” Jia Xu shouted urgently .

“This old fox!” Liu Mang frowned as he looked at Jia Xu . Although Jia Xu shouted as though he was moving to protect Liu Mang loyally, he actually moved aside to avoid the barbarian .

“Haha . ” Jia Xu laughed awkwardly . It is always bad to get exposed . Although Jia Xu moved aside, he only did it to protect himself . It was obvious to him that he would be no match for the barbarian . On top of that, an injured tiger was the most fearsome thing to go against . That was why Jia Xu moved aside without a second thought and left Liu Mang to fend for himself .

Of course, Jia Xu did not have any thoughts of betraying Liu Mang . He simply understood that Liu Mang was stronger than he is and that he was deadweight . By stepping aside, he also allowed Liu Mang to fight without a hindrance .

“Hm?” Liu Mang pulled out his sword but then realized that the barbarian was not actually heading towards him .

“Milord! Lord Kuai Ran is in danger!” Jia Xu quickly shouted .

“Kuai Ran?” Liu Mang immediately understood . The barbarian wanted a carriage and was heading towards the carriage Kuai Ran was sitting in .

“Brother Kuai! Go back!” Liu Mang panicked . He don’t mind losing the carriage but Kuai Ran cannot be injured . The injured barbarian no longer had a clear thought process . He wanted a carriage so everything in between him and the carriage were treated as obstacles as he wielded the pitchfork with killing intent . The consequences would be severe if Kuai Ran were to be killed .

Liu Mang could not pretend anymore . This was the sole heir to the Kuai Family . He was Kuai Yue’s only son . If he were to die here, Liu Mang would have to suffer the consequences regardless of whether he was the one that killed him . At the very least, he can say goodbye to the provisions from Jingzhou . It would already be considered a good thing if Liu Biao did not execute him and immediately go to war against Lu Bu .

“Ah!” Kuai Ran immediately noticed the barbarian man . The barbarian was like an injured tiger . The moment he gazed at Kuai Ran, Kuai Ran immediately staggered .

As Kuai Ran was the only son, Kuai Yue sheltered him . That was why Kuai Ran had never left Xiangyang in his life . As far as Kuai Yue is concerned, the amount of wealth he had was already enough to support Kuai Ran for life . It was enough to maintain their prestige at Jingzhou even if they would no longer be influential .

Naturally, a person who has never entered a battlefield would freeze when they encounter an injured tiger .

Freezing up in fear was normal but it was fatal at this particular moment .

If Kuai Ran had quickly returned to the carriage, Liu Mang would have been able to stop the barbarian and protect Kuai Ran while the barbarian tried to climb onto the carriage . However, Kuai Ran was now outside and the barbarian’s first move would be to get rid of Kuai Ran .

Liu Mang rushed forward hurriedly but he was not fast enough . The barbarian had lost his reasoning from his injuries and wouldn’t listen even if Liu Mang decided to give the carriage to him .

“s.h.i.+t!” Liu Mang gritted his teeth . Knowing he could not block the barbarian in time, he jumped towards Kuai Ran instead .
