Chapter 286: The Sword Light
Lei Zhen laughed out loud, as if he had heard a huge joke: "Gentle and kind? You were deceived by her, right? Let me tell you, she is a ruthless witch! She killed her fiancé with her own hands, and the method was extremely cruel!"
Chu Tian was shocked. He didn't expect that Li Qiuyue had such a past. He looked at Li Qiuyue with doubts and confusion in his eyes.
Li Qiuyue's eyes were red and tears welled up in her eyes. She choked and said, "Brother Chu, please believe me, I didn't kill anyone! I was wrongly accused!"
Chu Tian looked at Li Qiuyue's pitiful appearance, and his heart was full of sympathy. He believed that Li Qiuyue would not lie, and there must be something else going on.
He took a deep breath and said to Lei Zhen, "Captain Lei, I believe Miss Li is innocent. I hope you can find out the truth and give her justice."
Lei Zhen snorted disdainfully: "The truth? I am the truth! I have all the evidence, and you can't argue! Come on, arrest both of them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several yamen runners rushed out from the woods and surrounded Chu Tian and Li Qiuyue.
Chu Tian knew that today would not end peacefully. He glanced at Li Qiuyue, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. It seemed that he had to strike first!
He knocked down the bailiff next to him with a punch, then grabbed Li Qiuyue's hand, turned around and ran.
"Want to run? Not that easy!" Lei Zhen roared, leaped up, and blocked the way of Chu Tian and Li Qiuyue.
Chu Tian knew that Lei Zhen was a powerful martial artist and he was no match for him. But he couldn't give up, he had to protect Li Qiuyue!
He protected Li Qiuyue behind him, and got ready for a decisive battle with Lei Zhen.
Lei Zhen sneered, drew out his sword, pointed at Chu Tian and said, "Boy, you are courting death!"
After saying that, he flashed and attacked Chu Tian like a bolt of lightning...
The sword light was sharp and cold. Lei Zhen's sword moves were as fast as lightning. Chu Tian only felt a flash before his eyes, and the tip of the sword was already in front of him. He quickly dodged sideways, and the sword tip passed by his cheek, leaving a shallow blood mark.
Chu Tian thought to himself that this was a close call. Lei Zhen was indeed very powerful and he was definitely no match for him. He did not dare to fight head-on and could only dodge with his agile body movements.
Lei Zhen was even more pleased when he saw Chu Tian didn't dare to fight him head-on. He sneered and used more fierce sword moves, each of which went straight to Chu Tian's vital points.
Chu Tian dodged left and right, looking very embarrassed. He tried to counterattack several times, but was easily resolved by Lei Zhen.
Li Qiuyue was terrified watching from the side. She grabbed Chu Tian's sleeve tightly, fearing that he might make a mistake.
"Brother Chu, be careful!" Li Qiuyue shouted anxiously.
Chu Tian heard Li Qiuyue's cry, and his heart became more anxious. He couldn't lose, he had to protect Li Qiuyue!
He gritted his teeth, forced himself to stay awake, and continued to dodge Lei Zhen's attacks.
"Boy, is all you can do about it is hide? Like a mouse!" Lei Zhen sneered.
Chu Tian was furious, but he knew that now was not the time to act rashly. He had to stay calm and find a chance to fight back!
Suddenly, Chu Tian had an idea. He deliberately revealed a flaw to lure Lei Zhen into the trap.
Lei Zhen was fooled. He thought Chu Tian was exhausted, so he stabbed him with his sword without hesitation.
Chu Tian was waiting for this opportunity! He ducked down suddenly, dodging Lei Zhen's attack, and then kicked Lei Zhen in the abdomen.
Lei Zhen was caught off guard and was kicked by Chu Tian. He cried out in pain and staggered back.
Chu Tian took advantage of the victory, rushed forward and punched Lei Zhen in the face.
Lei Zhen was hit so hard that he saw stars. He never thought that he would be hit by this seemingly weak scholar.
Chu Tian did not stop. His punches rained down on Lei Zhen, leaving him without any chance to fight back.
"stop!"
Just then, a loud shout was heard.
Chu Tian turned around and saw a middle-aged man in official uniform walking towards him.
The middle-aged man walked up to Lei Zhen, helped him up, then glared at Chu Tian and shouted, "How dare you, you daring lunatic, assault an official of the imperial court!"
Chu Tian was shocked. He didn't expect that someone else would come. He quickly stopped and said, "Sir, I have no ill intentions. I was just defending myself."
The middle-aged man snorted coldly: "Self-defense? You beat up the county police chief like this, and you still dare to say it's self-defense?"
Chu Tian was about to explain, but Li Qiuyue stepped forward and said, "Sir, this is what happened..."
Li Qiuyue told the middle-aged man exactly what had happened.
After hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned. He looked at Lei Zhen, then at Chu Tian, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Captain Lei, as an official appointed by the court, you actually abused your power and wrongly accused a good person. This is really abominable! Come on, arrest him for me!"
Lei Zhen's face changed drastically when he heard this. He never thought that he would be dismissed and investigated.
Several bailiffs came forward and took Lei Zhen away.
The middle-aged man turned to Chu Tian and Li Qiuyue and said, "I'm sorry to scare you two. I will definitely find out the truth and give Miss Li justice."
Chu Tian and Li Qiuyue hurriedly expressed their thanks.
The middle-aged man asked again: "Where are you two from? Where are you going?"
Chu Tian replied: "My name is Chu Tian, this is Miss Li Qiuyue. We came from Taohua Village and are about to return to the city."
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "In that case, I will send someone to escort you two back to the city."
Chu Tian and Li Qiuyue thanked him again.
The middle-aged man sent two yamen runners to escort Chu Tian and Li Qiuyue back to the city.
On the way, Li Qiuyue said to Chu Tian: "Brother Chu, thank you for saving me."
Chu Tian smiled and said, "You're welcome. I just help others when I see injustice."
Li Qiuyue looked at Chu Tian, her eyes full of gratitude and admiration.
Chu Tian also looked at Li Qiuyue, his heart filled with tenderness.
The two looked at each other with deep affection.
Suddenly, Li Qiuyue's face changed, and she pointed ahead and said, "Brother Chu, look!"
Chu Tian looked in the direction of Li Qiuyue's finger, and saw a group of men in black appearing in front of them, running towards them quickly.
The men in black were all holding sharp blades and looked murderous.
Chu Tian thought to himself that something was wrong, it seemed that someone was trying to harm them.
He quickly protected Li Qiuyue behind him, got ready for the battle.
"Brother Chu, be careful!" Li Qiuyue shouted anxiously.
Chu Tian nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
He knew that he would probably be doomed again today.
But he will not give up, he will fight to the death to protect Li Qiuyue!
The men in black are getting closer and closer, and a fierce battle is about to break out...
The men in black came like a tide, instantly surrounding Chu Tian and Li Qiuyue. They all had hideous faces, holding shining steel knives, reflecting a chilling light in the sun.
Chu Tian took a deep breath, protected Li Qiuyue behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
