"Brother Fen, please leave quickly and don't worry about me." At this moment, an urgent voice came.
Only then did Mu Hanyan notice that not far behind Fen Qianji and Xia Youfa, there was another young man lying on the ground. He was obviously seriously injured, and his eyes were full of gratitude and apology when he looked at Fen Qianji.
Fen Qianji and Xia Youchen joined forces to fight the enemy and resist the siege of those swordsmen and strange beasts in order to protect the young man.
Tang Bufan! Mu Hanyan looked at the young man in surprise. Wasn't this the Tang Bufan from her previous life who had clung to her like a piece of taffy, who was disliked by her, yet who had sacrificed his life for her without hesitation at the last moment?
I remember that in my previous life, Tang Bufan met Fen Qianji because of me. In this life, they actually knew each other earlier and it seems that they have a good relationship.
Could this also be related to her own rebirth? Mu Hanyan originally thought that her rebirth would only affect the people around her, such as Hua Yue Zirong and Jiang Yuzhe, but she didn't expect that the life trajectories of Tang Bufan and Fen Qianji would also change.
"I brought you in, so of course I have to take you out." Fen Qianji glanced at Mu Hanyan and frowned, as if he remembered someone. He seemed a little confused, but immediately shook his head, with some self-mockery on his face. Then he turned his head quickly and said to Tang Bufan firmly.
Mu Hanyan noticed the blankness in Fen Qianji's eyes and realized he had no memory of her. In a previous life, they had been close friends, sharing life and death, but in the end, they had turned against each other and become mortal enemies, having killed her with a single sword strike. In this life, they were strangers. Mu Hanyan suddenly felt a strange sense of sadness.
"Brother Fen, I'm just a useless person. I'll just die if I die. Your talent is a hundred or a thousand times stronger than mine. You can't die here. Let's go!" Tang Bufan shouted anxiously with tears in his eyes.
"Stop talking nonsense. You saved my life. Even if I die here, it's a life for a life. Just stay here and watch me kill them all." Fen Qianji said indifferently.
A warm feeling suddenly surged in Mu Hanyan's heart.
This was not the first time she had heard the same words. In her previous life, she had heard Fen Qianji say this more than once.
Thinking about it carefully, when the two of them fought side by side, she did save Fen Qianji once or twice, but Fen Qianji saved her no less than ten or twenty times. Every time, he tried his best, and even when he was on the verge of death, he never gave up or retreated.
If she thought about it this way, even if she died at his hands, it would be a life for a life. Mu Hanyan sighed softly, and as she looked at Fen Qianji, her anger slowly faded. Although her heart was no longer as violent, she still felt uneasy. Finding out the truth was necessary, so she should first resolve the current situation.
After hearing what they said, Mu Hanyan vaguely guessed how they met. Last time, Fen Qianji was seriously injured in order to rescue the child from the iron hoof of the Red Charcoal Cloud Beast.
As far as she knew, Fen Qianji's life experience was extremely mysterious. Even she once suspected that she was the descendant of some hermit master, but it had never been verified. In short, he had no relatives in the capital and was seriously injured. It was most likely that Tang Bufan saved him at that time and the two became friends.
"Brother Fen!" Just as Mu Hanyan was thinking about this, Tang Bufan exclaimed.
A black-armored swordsman leaped forward and slashed. The blade of the sword cut through Fen Qianji's shoulder, leaving a deep wound that was visible to the bone, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
Fen Qianji still had an indifferent expression on his face, as if he didn't feel any pain at all. He didn't even frown, and just slashed with his sword.
With a dull "bang", his broadsword slashed heavily on the man's chest, directly chopping the opponent away three feet away.
"First-level swordsman." Mu Hanyan saw Fen Qianji's strength.
Although he chopped the enemy off with one sword, their situation did not change much. After all, the enemy had far more people and was also quite strong.
Just as Fen Qianji chopped his opponent away with a sword, a strange beast roared, opened its ferocious mouth, and bit towards the injured Tang Bufan who fell to the ground.
Only then did Mu Hanyan notice that this strange beast looked like a wolf but not a wolf, and a fox but not a fox. It was a strange beast she had never seen before. Looking at the other two, she had also never seen them before.
Although any wild beast can mutate and awaken its innate abilities to become a strange beast, and even the same beast can mutate into a completely different strange beast, so that there are countless types of strange beasts in the Holy Court Continent, and many people cannot recognize them all, but Mu Hanyan had trained in the Longyan Mountains for a long time, and even recognized many of those who never went out in the depths of the mountains.
But she had never seen these ones before.
To be honest, these beasts weren't huge or powerful, so they couldn't possibly exist deep within the Longyan Mountains, where there was no room for such weak creatures. If they only lived on the outskirts of the Longyan Mountains, it wouldn't make sense for her not to recognize them.
Seeing Tang Bufan in danger, Fen Qianji quickly retreated, and Xia Youchen also drew his sword and slashed.
But just as they tried to lend a hand, the remaining black-armored swordsmen and the other two strange beasts rushed forward as if they had agreed beforehand, forcing the two men to be unable to split their attention.
In the crisis, Xia Youchen glanced at Mu Hanyan and wanted to ask her for help, but the two of them had long been enemies rather than friends. He thought that even if he spoke, Mu Hanyan would never take action, so he simply swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Seeing the wolf-fox-like beast opening its mouth wide and its two bloody fangs biting towards his throat, Tang Bufan instinctively wanted to raise his sword, but he was seriously injured and could hardly exert strength. The sword had just been raised halfway when it fell to the ground with a clang, and he was so scared that his face turned pale.
"The sword breaks the mountains and rivers, kill!" Fen Qianji's black hair fluttered in the wind, and he slashed at the black sword armor master in front of him with a sword.
With a muffled sound, the sword commander was also chopped away by the sword.
But in this moment of delay, the strange beast had already taken a bite.
Tang Bufan was about to be killed by the strange beast. Fen Qianji's eyes were filled with rage, but it was too late to save him.
At this moment, a flash of sword light passed by, followed by a red light. Before the strange beast could even scream, it was pierced by the sword and thrown far away, with blood splattered all over the ground. It was obvious that it was dead.
Of course, the one who took action was Mu Hanyan.
Xia Youchen's life or death has nothing to do with her, and she may not care about Fen Qianji's life or death, but she has to save Tang Bufan. After all, Tang Bufan died for her in his previous life, and she still owes Tang Bufan a life.
Seeing Tang Bufan being rescued, Fen Qianji finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Mu Hanyan.
Although his expression was still stern, his gaze had obviously become much softer than before.
