Mu Hanyan then realized that Wu Qiyun's decision wasn't entirely to repay her for saving his life, but more so to fulfill his family's responsibility. He wanted to sacrifice his life in exchange for Mu Hanyan's full strength.
Even so, Mu Hanyan was still somewhat moved. Facing an opponent at the level of a Sword Master, he didn't escape alone, nor did he switch sides in the middle of a battle. This was already commendable. Moreover, a man so loyal to his family couldn't be a bad person at heart.
Mu Hanyan smiled, a very relaxed smile.
Seeing Mu Hanyan's relaxed smile, Wu Qiyun was slightly startled, and secretly admired him in his heart: At this time, he can still smile. Apart from anything else, his ability to remain calm in the face of danger is not something that ordinary people can match. If Mu Hanyan can escape safely this time, he will definitely be a nobody in the future.
"Mu Hanyan, you are about to die, but you can still smile." Seeing such a smile, Miss Zhao Si felt extremely irritated.
Over the past six months, every time she met Mu Hanyan, she could feel the changes in her. The opponent who she used to bully at will became stronger and more cunning, sometimes even making her feel powerless to fight back.
Such a psychological contrast made Miss Zhao Si very uncomfortable and she was absolutely unwilling to accept it.
"Senior, please go ahead and kill him. I'll double the terms I promised you," said Miss Zhao Si. This time, Mu Hanyan must be killed. He absolutely couldn't stand a chance. She had a hunch that if she let him escape, she would be trampled under his feet for the rest of her life, and the Zhao family would be forever trampled under the Mu family's feet.
"Okay." The man finally walked out of the darkness with a relaxed smile on his face.
Mu Hanyan looked at this man with a strange smile on her face.
The man suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, letting out a vast dragon roar. The gorgeous sword light, like lightning piercing through the sky and earth, illuminated the darkness.
Wu Qiyun's heart suddenly rose to his throat. Mu Cheng's eyes were almost filled with tears of blood. He knew that Mu Hanyan's current strength was actually far weaker than his true strength, and all this was due to his stupidity. If he hadn't mistakenly believed Miss Zhao Si's words and fallen into her trap, with Mu Hanyan's strength as a great swordsman, even if he was no match for her, it should still be easy to escape. But now, it was too late.
It's all my fault, it's all my fault! Mu Cheng's face was filled with pain, his fingers weakly grasping the ground, trying to stand up. Even if it meant dying in Mu Hanyan's place, he would have no complaints. However, even with Mu Hanyan sealing several of his vital points, his energy continued to dissipate, and he couldn't exert any strength at all.
Looking at this sword that was at the level of a swordsman, the eyes of Miss Zhao Si, Zhou Qi, Yue Zhenglin and others were filled with admiration and yearning.
But at that moment, their expressions changed, becoming ones of shock, confusion, disbelief, and... despair.
But Mu Cheng and Wu Qiyun were stunned.
The sword flashed by, and Mu Hanyan stood there safe and sound, with a relaxed and friendly smile on her face.
However, in front of Zhou Qi, Yue Zhenglin and others, a bloody red aura appeared and drifted away with the wind.
This person did take action, but the target he killed was not Mu Hanyan, but Zhou Qi and Yue Zhenglin!
"Why, why?" Yue Zhenglin covered the sword wound on his heart and looked at Yan Yuchu with confusion and unwillingness.
"Because he and I are friends, and even more so, allies who protect each other through life and death. It's that simple." Yan Yuchu said with a smile.
Who would have thought that the expert they invited was actually Yan Yuchu.
