After Lin Xiuyan finished speaking, she took out her slingshot, picked up a ball, pulled back the string, and shot it at the window frame.
The moment the sphere was launched, a deafening roar erupted, flames soared into the sky, illuminating the night, and terrifying screams echoed from outside.
The enormous heatwave shattered the window, and the paper covering it caught fire.
Yu Zhan was startled when he heard the loud noise.
The next moment, the heat wave brought some wood chips and other fragments, which made a loud clattering sound, and some of them even exploded around Yu Zhan.
Even someone as worldly-wise as Yu Zhan had never seen anything like it before, and her heart raced: "What is this thing?"
Lin Xiuyan did not answer, but took out a ball and shot it out at each of the different windows one by one.
Basically, whenever the sphere explodes, you can hear screams of agony.
At the same time, arrows shot in from different directions; this was Princess Anle's order for the guards to kill Lin Xiuyan to take action.
She was a little too slow to dodge an arrow, which grazed her face and left a bloody mark.
Faced with this situation, she immediately took out her crossbow and shot the enemy to the ground with an arrow, giving them no time to aim at her again.
Lin Xiuyan was not surprised at all by the archers hiding in the shadows.
Because she knew that this was the best time for Princess Anle to kill her.
When Lin Xiuyan kicked Princess Anle out, she knew that Princess Anle wouldn't give her even half an hour to persuade Yu Zhan.
Given Princess Anle's personality, she would definitely set up a trap to kill her as soon as she got out.
Setting all this up can be done in as little as 15 minutes.
Therefore, Lin Xiuyan pointed out Yu Zhan's female identity from the very beginning, getting straight to the point.
She mentally timed it, and it was exactly 15 minutes when she demonstrated her abilities to Yu Zhan.
The first ball she threw was her declaration of war against Princess Anle.
After four or five balls were thrown out, the entire Yihong Courtyard had become a sea of fire, with many corpses lying scattered everywhere.
Yu Zhan propped herself up with one hand and stood up. She looked out the window and was shocked to see what was happening outside.
She simply couldn't believe that Lin Xiuyan had accomplished all of this all by herself!
At this point, she finally understood why Lin Xiuyan had said she could turn a desperate situation into a safe one and even turn the tide against all odds:
Lin Xiuyan does indeed possess such strength.
It was at this moment that Yu Zhan truly began to consider whether or not to seek refuge with Lin Xiuyan.
Given Lin Xiuyan's fighting prowess, she really didn't want to be Lin Xiuyan's enemy.
Lin Xiuyan had already finished throwing the ball, and she asked Yu Zhan, "How did it feel?"
Yu Zhan asked, "What exactly are those things? How did you do that?"
Lin Xiuyan winked at her: "I'll tell you after you become mine."
Yu Zhan: "..."
She knew that when faced with someone like Lin Xiuyan, she either had to kill her as soon as possible to avoid future trouble, or make her one of her own.
She was completely powerless and had no chance of killing Lin Xiuyan.
Seeing Yu Zhan's expression, Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "It seems you haven't made up your mind yet."
"It's okay, there's plenty of time in the future, you'll have plenty of time to think about it."
"Now I need to trouble you to see me out of this door. Thank you for your help."
After she finished speaking, regardless of whether Yu Zhan was willing or not, she directly half-lifted Yu Zhan and pushed her towards the door.
If she wasn't mistaken, the outside must be packed with people right now.
Yu Zhan immediately understood what she was going to do and hurriedly said, "Lin Xiuyan, I think we can have a good talk!"
"Now that I've witnessed your abilities, I admire you greatly!"
"Tell me your plan again. If it's feasible, it's not impossible for me to join your side."
Lin Xiuyan laughed and said, "General Yu, you're just stalling for time so that your men can come and kill me, and then save you."
"You doing this makes me feel that the abilities I just showed you weren't enough."
"I thought about it, and I felt I should show it again."
As she spoke, her hands were busy, and she pushed Yu Zhan to the door.
Yu Zhan said urgently, "Lin Xiuyan, wait a moment!"
There's no way Lin Xiuyan would listen to Yu Zhan!
She lifted her foot and kicked the door open.
At the same time, more than ten broadswords slashed at Yu Zhan.
Yu Zhan yelled, "Stop! Stop! Stop!"
She had no strength left in her body and couldn't dodge the incoming swords at all.
Those guarding the door included Princess Anle's men and Yu Zhan's men. Upon hearing her voice, they quickly sheathed their swords.
A group of people shouted all at once, "It's the general!"
"Stop it!"
"Don't let Lin Xiuyan get away!"
A jumble of noises filled the air, creating chaos at the entrance.
Because it was too chaotic, and some people were swinging their weapons with too much force, it was difficult to stop them for a while.
Because he couldn't stop himself, Yu Zhan ended up with several bruises on his body.
Yu Zhan roared, "Which bastard dares to chop me up!"
Lin Xiuyan's lips curled slightly as she pushed Yu Zhan towards the crowd.
Someone shouted, "Lin Xiuyan is behind the general!"
"She's trying to escape! Stop her!"
When Lin Xiuyan pushed Yu Zhan, she threw something on the ground.
In just a moment, a thick plume of smoke shot into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the not-so-wide doorway was completely shrouded in smoke, and for a moment, nothing could be seen.
The crowd outside the door swung their weapons in the direction they had just seen Lin Xiuyan, but then Yu Zhan shouted, "Stop slashing randomly! Which bastard hit me?!"
Since no one could see him, and they were afraid of hurting Yu Zhan, they dared not slash indiscriminately.
In the chaos, Lin Xiuyan leaned close to Yu Zhan from behind and whispered something in her ear. Yu Zhan froze when she heard those words.
As soon as Lin Xiuyan finished speaking, she prepared to run away, but at that moment, a hand grabbed her with perfect accuracy.
She was startled. She tried to slap the hand away, but the person was already right behind her. She smelled a familiar scent; it was Ye Junfei.
She breathed a sigh of relief and, instead of resisting, leaned back closer. She heard Ye Junfei's very faint laughter.
Ye Junfei reached out and grabbed her waist, then swung the rope and sped away.
Someone brought a fan to clear the smoke. Yu Zhan was lying on the ground covered in blood, while Lin Xiuyan had already disappeared.
Everyone was startled and quickly helped Yu Zhan up, asking, "General, are you alright?"
Yu Zhan had been a roaming martial arts world for many years, but this was the first time she had encountered such a situation. It was only because she was completely powerless at the moment that she was afraid she would have jumped up and given them a good beating.
She snapped, "Do I look like I'm alright?"
Everyone: "..."
Yu Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "What are you still standing here for? Go after them! Kill Lin Xiuyan!"
Everyone responded and ran outside.
Yu Zhan shouted again, "Why the hell am I running? Help me out of here first!"
