The people behind him managed to rein in their horses in time, but the shock was still enough to make the horses neigh violently.
The one who fell from his horse wasn't so lucky and immediately plummeted into the trap they had set earlier, dying on the spot.
The forest was silent, with no birds in flight, and the leader's face turned ugly with rage as he shouted, "I am Huo Li, the chief disciple of Xuanzong, how dare you!"
Yue Rujing sneered, "This idiot, do I not know he is Huo Li? The very Huo Li I am robbing today. Last time, it was joyous robbing us; now it's his turn to see how craven he looks!"
Yue Rujing snorted dismissively and gestured to the people behind him before leaping forward with a broadsword that was five inches wide.
He shouted loudly to the leader, "This mountain is mine, these trees I planted, if you wish to pass, leave behind a toll!"
Surrounded by his men, Huo Li sized up the line of people who had suddenly appeared.
