Qiu Jingfan's words were true. Although Lin Yuxin had caused him a lot of trouble along the way, when something happened, she directly asked Li Xiaochen to protect him. Even though she knew that some assassins were coming for her, she still lured them away by herself to reduce the pressure on them.
He will remember this kindness, and all the trouble he caused him before will seem insignificant now.
"It's too early to talk about these things now. Let's get through this first."
Lin Yuxin rolled her eyes. All she does is make empty promises. It's useless. If she's dead, all that talk is pointless.
Lin Yuxin thought for a moment, then reached into her sleeve and touched a dark lump, which she then handed to Li Xiaochen.
After seeing this, Li Xiaochen understood what Lin Yuxin meant.
"Didn't you say you only had these few left? Once you use them, they're gone!"
Li Xiaochen looked warily at the assassins around him and asked in a low voice.
"I can't worry about that now, my life is more important. You can use it for now, and I'll figure something out later!"
Lin Yuxin had already used one, and now she gave another one to Li Xiaochen, leaving her with only one in her own space. But if she didn't use it, the three of them might not be able to escape today.
Even Li Xiaochen's bodyguards might not be able to arrive in time to rescue them.
"Okay! You take care of yourself, I'll go and lure them away."
Li Xiaochen nodded, stuffed the things in his hand into his pocket, and then raised his sword to face the assassin.
The assassins were masked, so their expressions and faces were obscured, but each of them exuded a murderous aura.
As soon as Li Xiaochen rushed out, half of the assassins immediately surrounded and attacked him.
Two assassins saw that Lin Yuxin was alone and rushed over with their swords.
Seeing this, Lin Yuxin quickly feigned fear and called out, "Stop!"
"Wait, wait a minute! If you're going to kill me, at least let me die knowing why. Just tell me, who sent you? Is that alright?"
"No matter who sent us, you will die today!"
One of the assassins wasn't buying Lin Yuxin's act. He spoke coldly and then, without any politeness, raised his sword and thrust it at Lin Yuxin.
Seeing this, Lin Yuxin cursed under her breath, then hurriedly pulled out a handful of powder from her bosom and sprinkled it at the assassins, but it only blurred their eyes and was completely useless.
Lin Yuxin's expression changed as soon as she realized what was happening.
"Damn! They were masked, but it didn't work!!!"
Lin Yuxin stomped her feet in anger, mainly because she had used up all the poison she had, and the rest wouldn't be enough to kill anyone.
At that moment, Lin Yuxin didn't care about anything else. She grabbed Qiu Jingfan, who was seriously injured and ready to fight his way out of the encirclement, and ran away!
"Run!!"
Lin Yuxin, who was originally not very physically fit, unleashed all her potential at this moment and ran incredibly fast.
Qiu Jingfan, on the other hand, was struggling to keep up because of his injury, and his newly bandaged wounds started bleeding again!
Lin Yuxin looked back and saw the two assassins chasing after them. They had internal energy and could run effortlessly, while he and Qiu Jingfan were one weak and the other injured, so no matter how fast they ran, they couldn't outrun the two assassins.
The two assassins walked them around like dogs for a while, and when Lin Yuxin was almost too tired to run anymore, they quickly caught up again.
After the two assassins seemed to have had enough of escaping, they finally prepared to make their move. One of them quickly raised his hand and threw a hidden weapon in Lin Yuxin's direction.
Lin Yuxin, with her back to them, felt a chill behind her. In a moment of panic, she pushed Qiu Jingfan, whom she was holding, into a pile of grass nearby.
Lin Yuxin rolled on the ground a few times, successfully dodging the hidden weapon shot by the assassin.
Damn! If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have died again today!!!
Lin Yuxin looked up at the hidden weapon stuck in the tree and started swearing.
Lin Yuxin didn't have time to think much. She remembered her new weapon, quickly raised her hand, and fired a crossbow at one of them.
As a result, because he hadn't shot in a long time, his skills had deteriorated, and he only managed to hit the man's arm. The assassin, however, became enraged and started attacking Lin Yuxin with greater ferocity.
Seeing that her attack had failed and instead angered the assassins, Lin Yuxin was so anxious that she was almost cursing. She gritted her teeth, looked at the two assassins who were charging at her with their knives, struggled to her feet, and ran towards Li Xiaochen.
Li Xiaochen was currently fighting hard, but the assassins were too close, and he hadn't had a chance to use the things Xin Xin had given him.
During a lull in the fight, he saw Lin Yuxin running towards him. His expression changed, and he became increasingly ruthless, aiming every move at the assassin's vital points.
In a few moves, Li Xiaochen successfully killed another assassin.
He tried to turn around and run towards Lin Yuxin, but his path was blocked by the assassin on his left.
His gaze instantly turned icy, and he swung his hand back at the assassin blocking his path.
By the time Lin Yuxin ran into Li Xiaochen's fighting range, Li Xiaochen had already killed four assassins, and he himself had also suffered some injuries.
Lin Yuxin saw the bloodstains on his body, and her gaze turned cold. "Damn it, you dare hurt my man? You're asking for it!"
Without further hesitation, Lin Yuxin took out the last explosive charge. She realized that Li Xiaochen had no chance to use it, so she was the only one who could use it.
She glanced behind her and saw that the two who had been chasing her had returned, so she ran towards Li Xiaochen again and ran straight to his side.
Li Xiaochen was also very perceptive. When he learned that Lin Yuxin had returned, he did not criticize her, but silently protected her under his wing.
Seeing Lin Yuxin take out the tinderbox, he knew what she was going to do, so he cooperated and tried his best to force the six assassins to one place, so that they wouldn't be too far apart!
Lin Yuxin seized the opportunity, lit the object in her hand, and threw it at the assassins. Luckily, it landed in one of their hands.
Seeing that Lin Yuxin had already been thrown out, Li Xiaochen immediately grabbed her and used his lightness skill to fly away.
Seeing this, the assassins all chased after the two of them. The assassin holding the explosive pack looked at the thing in his hand with a strange expression. Before he could take a closer look, there was a loud explosion.
"Bang!"
"ah!!"
Centered on the assassin carrying the explosives, everything within a few meters was blown up!
Four assassins who hadn't escaped were killed instantly by the explosion. Only two assassins who were some distance away escaped, but they were still affected by the blast and suffered considerable shock injuries.
One of them had lost an arm and was lying on the ground groaning softly. The other wasn't in much better shape; his entire face was disfigured.
Because of the short time available, neither Li Xiaochen nor Lin Yuxin escaped the blast radius of the explosive charge, and both sustained injuries to varying degrees. However, before hearing the explosion, Li Xiaochen had already tightly protected Lin Yuxin in his arms.
Fortunately, Lin Yuxin was unharmed. Li Xiaochen had some blast injuries on his back, but they were all superficial and not as serious as the two assassins' injuries.
Ignoring his injuries, Li Xiaochen stood up, made sure Xin Xin was alright, then walked up to the two assassins and, taking advantage of their weakness, killed them.
Qiu Jingfan, worried about Lin Yuxin's safety, finally managed to climb out, only to witness this scene. His shock was beyond words. Was this Lin Yuxin's trump card?
