Niu Thirteen loudly said to Shi Yan: "Wait, I want to ask how is Uncle Qiang?"
Shi Yan turned around and looked at Niu Thirteen, thinking that he could be considered as a comrade that had just fought together. He apologetically said, "Niu Qiang is already dead!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and led the remaining Thieves towards Yan Jie.
"Kill!"
Shi Yan and the remaining dozens of thieves quickly rushed towards the cavalry of the Iron Guard. Since they were going to die anyway, they chose to fight to the death.
"Humph!"
Yan Jie let out a cold snort. Several tens of cavalrymen appeared behind him. They nocked their bows and shot out a dozen arrows in an instant.
The bodies of Shi Yan and the others who were rushing towards the cavalrymen were almost instantly pierced by the arrows.
Shi Yan was hit by four or five arrows. He tenaciously rushed to a spot three meters in front of Yan Jie.
With a wave of the broadsword in Yan Jie's hand, Shi Yan's head flew into the air and flew a few meters away. His headless body crashed onto the ground.
At this point, all the thieves were dead.
After killing all the thieves, Yan Jie stared coldly at the remaining villagers on the mountain peak. Soon, he had locked onto Niu Thirteen.
Niu Thirteen sensed the enmity that Yan Jie bore towards him, and his heart tightened. Could it be that these people had killed a Thief, and now, they were going to be killed?
"Thirteen!"
Niu Jingtian and the others could sense the strange atmosphere. They stood beside Niu Thirteen, gripping their weapons tightly and prepared to do battle at any moment.
Yan Jie saw that Niu Thirteen was still able to maintain a straight face under his pressure. If a normal sixteen year old saw him, he would have already been scared to death.
Yan Jie liked Zhan Taiyue'er, but she wanted him to save Niu Thirteen. Now that he saw her in person, he felt displeased.
This was because Niu Thirteen was a genius with great courage and insight, so she definitely had a good impression of him. Furthermore, the two of them were about the same age.
Yan Jie absolutely could not tolerate this. Someone was trying to snatch her away. What's more, Niu Thirteen was just a mountain villager. How could he possibly make her have a favorable impression of him?
"You must be Niu Thirteen!"
Yan Jie looked coldly at Niu Thirteen. He had only promised Jantai Yue'er that he would bring him back alive. However, that did not guarantee that he would be completely unharmed.
Niu Thirteen stared straight at Yan Jie. He didn't understand why Yan Jie would have such a huge enmity towards him. However, since he was being so rude, there was no need for him to be so polite as well.
"I am, who are you?"
Yan Jie slowly climbed the mountain peak on his warhorse and arrived in front of Niu Thirteen. His warhorse's head was almost at the nose of Niu Thirteen as he looked down at him condescendingly.
"Who I am is not important, but I want you to remember one thing. Yue Er is not someone that someone like you can reach. You are from two different worlds. Be a good mountain villager and live your ordinary life peacefully. Do you understand?"
Yan Jie's haughty attitude angered Niu Thirteen, but he couldn't act rashly. Grandfather and the rest were still with them. If he acted rashly, then they would be in danger.
He took a deep breath and looked at Yan Jie calmly.
"Yue Er told you to come and save me, right? I'm very grateful that you saved all of us …"
"No, no, no, you are wrong. I only saved you, I did not say that I will save the others!"
Yan Jie interrupted Niu Shisan's words. Niu Shisan felt a strong sense of unease.
Indeed, with a wave of his hand, the mounted soldiers behind him nocked their bows and arrows, aiming them at Niu Jingtian and the rest.
Niu Jingtian and the others felt as though they were facing a great enemy. Niu Thirteen's heart was filled with rage, but for his grandfather and the others' sake, he had no choice but to give in.
