"Whoosh!"
Yan Jien had just chased out a few steps when suddenly, a shadow sprang out from behind a nearby tree, swinging a fist towards him.
"Bang!"
Caught off guard, Yan Jien was sent flying.
"Brother Yan Jien!" Tong Liya exclaimed in shock and hurried over to check on him.
"I'm fine..." Yan Jien shook his head.
"But... you're hurt..." Tong Liya said with concern.
"It's nothing serious..." Yan Jien waved his hand dismissively, "Just a surface wound."
"Really?" Tong Liya asked anxiously.
"Yeah..." Yan Jien replied, standing up and looking at the burly man with a pig-like head across from him.
At that moment, standing next to the pig-headed man was a wild man over two meters tall, covered in black hair; he was the one who had attacked Yan Jien earlier.
"You're pretty fast," Yan Jien said calmly.
"Hmph!" The pig-headed man snorted coldly without responding.
"But do you really think that this will stop me?" Yan Jien asked.
"Then give it a try!" the pig-headed man challenged.
"Alright," Yan Jien nodded and released Tong Liya's hand.
"Brother Yan Jien..." Tong Liya said nervously.
"Liya, watch how I fight," Yan Jien instructed.
"I... I can help..." Tong Liya offered timidly.
"No, you still need to train," Yan Jien shook his head.
"But..." Tong Liya started to protest but was interrupted by Yan Jien.
"No buts, just watch," Yan Jien said sternly.
"Okay..." Tong Liya reluctantly agreed.
"Prepare for battle!" Yan Jien shouted as he charged towards the pig-headed man.
The Pig-Headed Strongman and the Wild Man attacked simultaneously, confronting Yan Jien.
"Whoosh!"
The Wild Man swung his fist, aiming for Yan Jien's head. Yan Jien feigned retreat, suddenly accelerated, and circled behind the Wild Man, delivering a kick to his waist.
"Bang!"
The Wild Man stumbled a few steps from the kick, nearly falling over. At the same time, the Pig-Headed Strongman's attack landed on Yan Jien, sending him flying.
"Brother Yan Jien!" Tong Liya exclaimed in shock, wanting to rush over to check on him.
"Don't come over!" Yan Jien shouted.
"But... you're bleeding..." Tong Liya said anxiously.
"I told you, don't come over!" Yan Jien yelled.
"I..." Tong Liya stopped in her tracks, tears streaming down her face.
"Liya, don't cry, I'm fine..." Yan Jien comforted her.
"But... you're hurt..." Tong Liya choked out.
"This little injury is nothing," Yan Jien replied. "Do you remember what I taught you?"
"I remember..." Tong Liya nodded.
"Then watch me fight carefully, and when you're strong enough, come help me," Yan Jien instructed.
"Okay..." Tong Liya nodded through her tears.
"Come on!" Yan Jien stood up and waved at the Pig-Headed Strongman and the Wild Man.
"Roar!"
The Wild Man let out a roar and charged at Yan Jien. The Pig-Headed Strongman followed suit.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The three of them were locked in fierce combat, each strike producing a dull thud.
Tong Liya stood nearby, watching nervously, her fists clenched tightly, nails digging deep into her flesh.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Yan Jien was struck in the chest by the wild man and flew backward.
"Yan Jien, brother!" Tong Liya shouted.
"I... I'm fine..." Yan Jien struggled to stand up, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"How... how could this happen to you..." Tong Liya cried.
"I... I don't have the strength anymore..." Yan Jien said weakly, "Liya... you need to leave..."
"No! I'm not leaving!" Tong Liya insisted, "I want to fight alongside you!"
"Just go!" Yan Jien yelled, "You being here will only distract me!"
"But..." Tong Liya hesitated.
"Go now!" Yan Jien roared.
"Alright... I'll go... take care of yourself..." Tong Liya wiped her tears and turned to run deeper into the dense forest.
"Liya..." Yan Jien reached out as if trying to grab her, but in the end, he caught nothing.
"Heh..." Yan Jien forced a bitter smile, collapsing onto the ground and gasping for breath.
"You actually gave up resisting?" the pig-headed strongman said in surprise.
"I have no strength left," Yan Jien replied.
"In that case, die!" The pig-headed strongman coldly shouted as he lunged at Yan Jien.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a shadow flashed and knocked the pig-headed strongman away.
"Who is it?" the pig-headed strongman exclaimed in shock.
"If you dare harm my brother Yan Jien, I will make you pay with your life!" Tong Liya's furious voice rang out.
"Liya?" Yan Jien said in astonishment.
Only Tong Liya stood in front of him, her entire body covered in black fur, with green light glimmering in her eyes, clearly having transformed on her own.
"You... you actually transformed on your own?" the pig-headed muscular man exclaimed in shock.
"Die!" Tong Liya roared as she charged at the pig-headed man.
"No... please don't..." the pig-headed man begged for mercy.
But Tong Liya paid no attention and swung a punch at his head.
"Bang!"
The pig-headed man's skull shattered instantly, and he died an untimely death.
"Roar!"
Seeing this, the wild man let out a loud roar and charged at Tong Liya.
"Get lost!" Tong Liya turned around and threw a punch.
"Bang!"
The wild man was sent flying backward, crashing through two large trees before finally stopping.
"Roar..." The wild man struggled to stand up, looking at Tong Liya in fear, not daring to attack again.
"Die!" However, Tong Liya had no intention of letting it go; she rushed over and pounded it repeatedly until it was dead.
"Liya..." Yan Jien weakly called out.
"Yan Jien brother..." Tong Liya’s transformation faded, returning her to human form as she stumbled over to support Yan Jien.
"You did it..." Yan Jien said with relief.
"Yes..." Tong Liya nodded, "I can protect you from now on..."
"Silly girl..." Yan Jien smiled and patted Tong Liya on the head.
"Yan Jien brother, are you okay?" Tong Liya asked with concern.
"I'm fine... I just need to rest a bit..." Yan Jien replied.
"I'll help you bandage your wounds first," Tong Liya said.
"Okay..." Yan Jien responded, closing his eyes to rest quietly.
