What are you attacking me for?

Baili Hongzhuang's eyes lit up with a smile as she beheld Huang Zhiqing's appearance. The current situation was undeniably intriguing.

"Why are you attacking me?" Huang Zhiqing exclaimed.

The bandit responded coldly, "We are attacking you?"

...

A resounding boom echoed through the gorge as the battle erupted, and Baili Hongzhuang actively joined the fray.

Dongfang Yu and Gong Shaoqing displayed their skills, effortlessly toppling the bandits like defenseless lambs. Each strike they made incapacitated another bandit.

Witnessing their strength, Baili Hongzhuang realized that these two individuals were at least at the Profound Heaven Realm!

According to her assessment, these youths, aged around sixteen or seventeen, had already reached the Profound Heaven Realm. They surpassed so-called prodigies like Dai Zhiman by far!

The countenance of the bandit leader gradually changed. He never expected these seemingly naive young men to possess such formidable power!

Meanwhile, Baili Hongzhuang continued to dispatch the bandits, steadily approaching Huang Zhiqing.

"It appears that the lesson I taught you today wasn't sufficient," Baili Hongzhuang remarked, a smirk playing on her lips and her gaze frosty. While dealing with the bandits, she provocatively locked eyes with Huang Zhiqing.

"If you dare to offend me, I won't spare you!" Huang Zhiqing retorted angrily.

He desired to teach Baili Hongzhuang a lesson, but he couldn't even get close to her. He could only helplessly cast a glance at the assailants. "Why are you attacking us?"

The bandit glanced at Huang Zhiqing and sneered, "You came to steal our business, and you're asking why we're attacking you? Are you stupid?"

"Young Master, they are bandits!" one of Huang Zhiqing's men reminded him.

It was only then that Huang Zhiqing understood the situation. He looked towards Baili Hongzhuang, who stood not far away, and couldn't help but inwardly sigh. This woman truly had ill luck. Before he could settle scores with her, she had already fallen into the bandits' clutches.

"I'm not here to steal your business. I'm searching for that woman," Huang Zhiqing explained.

Although he had brought a substantial number of men, they paled in comparison to the bandits. If a conflict broke out, he would be at a disadvantage. Thus, he reluctantly tried to reason with the bandits.

However, the bandits coldly laughed at Huang Zhiqing's words. "Your claim of not stealing our business is quite novel, but do you think we will believe you?"

The bandit regarded Huang Zhiqing with disdain. This guy was already foolish, but he actually believed he could deceive them with such a crude tactic. Impossible!

"Brothers, attack them mercilessly!"

The bandit leader issued the command, and the bandits charged directly at Huang Zhiqing and his group.

Initially, they could only rob three individuals, but now that a whole group had arrived, they might as well plunder them all together! This would teach them the price of daring to steal business from their Black Wind Gorge!

Boom!

The sound of fists colliding reverberated through the air. Before Huang Zhiqing could finish explaining, the assailants had already launched an unrelenting attack!

A group of henchmen encircled Huang Zhiqing. Although they were slightly stronger than the bandits, they managed to hold their ground.

A faint smile crept onto Baili Hongzhuang's lips as she cast a cold gaze at Huang Zhiqing, who glared back at her with anger. She swiftly eliminated the bandits obstructing her path and steadily approached Huang Zhiqing.

"Huang Gongzi, didn't expect to meet again," Baili Hongzhuang lightly taunted.

Huang Zhiqing clenched his teeth and locked his gaze onto Baili Hongzhuang. "Damn woman, do you think that by provoking these bandits, I won't be able to retaliate against you?"
