Gu Lingyun knew that assassins had arrived, but Gu Lingchen held onto him tightly and wouldn't let go.

In an instant, more than twenty men in black surrounded the two.

"Second brother, let me go! I don't know martial arts, you hold me off!" Gu Lingyun tried to escape.

Big brother, you can't leave. You need to stay close to me so I can protect you.

As they spoke, the man in black swung his machete at Gu Lingchen.

Gu Lingchen took out his hidden weapon, the Red Lotus Pear Blossom Needle, and aimed it at the men in black. Soon, seven or eight men in black fell to the ground.

Then he took out his knife.

"I'll just have to test out my Flowing Light Blade and see how well it works."

He released Gu Lingyun, grabbed the knife, and rushed towards the remaining people. Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, only five people remained.

Seeing that he had been released, Gu Lingyun rode his horse and fled towards his guards.

Gu Lingchen picked up the knife from the man in black and threw it directly at Gu Lingyun.

The knife didn't hit any vital organs in Gu Lingyun's body; it just grazed his left abdomen, drawing blood.

"Ah, ahhhhhh, help!" Gu Lingyun screamed, clutching her stomach.

Gu Lingchen gave the signal, and all his bodyguards appeared.

Seeing that there were only five men in black, the guards thought to themselves.

"This is what our master left us after he'd had his fun!" They felt that their master was perfectly capable of dealing with these people.

There weren't enough for one person to go around, and the men in black were quickly all dealt with.

Gu Lingchen rode his horse toward Gu Lingyun.

He shouted urgently.

"Big brother, big brother, are you alright? Don't worry, your little brother is here to save you."
