Chapter 1275: Rescue

Seeing that Drolma was already on the verge of collapse, the smile on Chodak's face grew increasingly cruel.

The wrathful expression of the Fierce-Eyed Vajra, combined with the wild grin on his lips, exuded a sinister aura that sent chills down the spine of anyone who saw it.

But suddenly, Chodak's raised fist did not slam down, because he felt a gaze fall upon him.

An empowered individual of his level was exceptionally sensitive to everything around him.

Especially when a master appeared without concealing their presence, it was like a blazing flame appearing within the periphery of his aura, impossible to ignore.

"Hmm?"

Chodak turned his head in confusion, only to see a woman clad entirely in a combat suit not far away, holding a retrieved vajra pestle in her right hand, silently staring at him.

"Reinforcements?"

Chodak murmured the word, but the look in his eyes grew even more excited.

However, he didn't look at Liang Yue again. Instead, he turned his head and threw a fierce punch straight down at Drolma in front of him!

He would kill this woman first!

Drolma dodged sideways in a panic, but blasted by the shockwave, she was sent flying backward, nearly losing her footing on the snowy ground.

A voice sounded in her ear.

"Do not resist."

Drolma instinctively relaxed her resistance, and her entire body sank into a patch of shadow on the ground.

Before Chodak could react, Liang Yue was already charging behind him, vajra pestle in hand!

Boom!!

Two powerful enhancement-type empowered individuals clashed together.

Liang Yue's strength surpassed Chodak's, especially in technique, where she completely outmatched him.

But Liang Yue's goal this time was only to stall. Otherwise, if she really killed the Pagyi Family's private soldier commander, things would escalate beyond control.

Moreover, to conceal her identity, she also had to deliberately hold back her true power.

Even so, after a few exchanges with her, Chodak felt his heart pounding with fear!

Across the entire Snowy Plateau Region, enhancement-type empowered individuals of such formidable strength could be counted on one hand, and he knew the names of those few.

Among those people, there was definitely no one with this kind of style.

Yet, the opponent clearly used the esoteric sect's boxing and kicking techniques along with the vajra pestle, filling his mind with immense doubt about which faction's hidden expert this could be.

"Who exactly are you? Why are you helping those rebels! Could it be that you are a new member who joined the resistance army?"

Chodak asked loudly, a wild grin still on his lips.

Liang Yue didn't answer with a single word, only swiftly swung the vajra pestle in her hand to block Chodak's frenzied, heavy punches!

Too weak.

Liang Yue thought to herself.

In her eyes, Chodak, who possessed only brute, savage strength and clumsy, inferior technique, was pitifully weak.

However, looking across the entire Huaxu Kingdom, few could compare to her in technique.

In this era, martial combat had declined, existing more as a form of performance.

Chodak was a master in the eyes of ordinary people, skilled in combat arts, but he was completely incomparable to Liang Yue, who had begun practicing martial arts at the age of three.

No matter how ferocious Chodak's attacks were, the force of his blows turning the serf camp into ruins, his fists, unable to land on Liang Yue, merely vented their power on inanimate objects.

It looked terrifying, but it was all ineffective output.

The more Chodak fought, the more alarmed he became, until cold sweat finally trickled down his forehead.

The mysterious figure before him was too strong, never once launching any particularly powerful attack from start to finish.

Yet, every time he struck, she could accurately predict it in advance, making a slight move to let his attack miss.

It was like an adult toying with a frail child.

"You... who exactly are you?"

Chodak's voice even changed slightly, "When did someone like you appear on the Snowy Plateau?"

Liang Yue, of course, chose to keep her mouth tightly shut, not uttering a single word.

Right now, she was also a bit flustered inside. To avoid exposing her identity, she had to control her strength carefully, especially not revealing the several unique martial arts she possessed.

And so, Chodak was stubbornly held in place by Liang Yue.

On the other side, Mu Yan led Drolma and the other resistance army members to the courtyard where the women were imprisoned.

Most of the private soldiers here had gone to support the front lines. The few remaining were effortlessly dealt with.

Drolma and the others opened the cellar. As an extremely foul odor surged up, they endured the smell and went down.

Drolma immediately searched among the crowd. Soon, her gaze locked onto two women in the straw pile with long braids and hollow eyes.

Then Drolma rushed straight over, tore apart the steel bars of the cell, and tightly hugged them in her arms.

Mu Yan said to them, "Take the people and leave quickly! Any later, and their men might discover you're here."

Drolma tucked the two girls under her arms and said to Mu Yan, "Thank you. We'll leave immediately!"

Several other resistance army members also took a few women and left with Mu Yan.

Mu Yan frowned slightly but didn't say much. Instead, she used her shadows to carry them far away.

At the same time, she sent a signal to Liang Yue, informing her that the people had been retrieved.

"Don't drag it out too long, to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Understood."

Liang Yue felt slightly more at ease. She continued to skillfully evade and engage the furious Chodak.

No matter how powerful a force Chodak unleashed, she was like a small boat in a storm, seemingly rocking and swaying, yet always remaining upright.

After a few minutes passed, Mu Yan gave her the intel, saying everyone had been delivered to a safe place.

It was then that Liang Yue decided to disengage and leave.

According to the plan, she needed to first escape their pursuit, then rendezvous with Mu Yan, and use the shadow's powerful concealment ability to silently return to the Pagyi Family's courtyard.

However, doing so wouldn't be that easy.

Chodak and the others would definitely pursue relentlessly.

Thinking of this, Liang Yue frowned and looked toward Chodak.

Although separated by the pitch-black face mask, for the first time, Chodak felt an intense aura of danger.

"Hah!!"

He raised both fists high and slammed them fiercely toward Liang Yue in front of him.

Liang Yue's figure moved with ghostly steps, evading his powerful fist wind.

Then she raised the vajra pestle in her hand and struck straight at Chodak's chest in one motion!

"Pfft!"

The tip of the vajra pestle pierced into Chodak's chest. His vajra-like body cracked under this blow.

All the strength in Chodak's body seemed to drain away. With such a sharp weapon thrust into his chest, few could still move freely.

Liang Yue reached out and pulled out the vajra pestle. Chodak immediately knelt on the spot.

His heart was nearly in despair. The opponent's strength had already extinguished any thought of victory within him.

He thought he was about to die.

But just at that moment, the mysterious figure before him turned and flew away into the distance like a bird.

After a few leaps and bounds, the person had already vanished from sight.
