The man in black didn't have time to pay attention to Lightning, treating it as some unknown wild dog in the empty mountain forest.
Seeing that these people were highly skilled, Qiu Yan pulled Gu Xiaoran to focus on defense.
The sounds of fierce fighting were deafening, and she realized that the three of them were about to give up.
It's clear that these people's primary target is Xiao Ran.
Qiu Yan ran out of hidden arrows and began to stand shoulder to shoulder with Gu Xiaoran, using both fists to block attacks and protect Gu Xiaoran from harm at all times.
Gu Xiaoran was also protecting her at the same time.
At this moment, Qiu Yan and Gu Xiaoran were both covered in bruises and looked utterly disheveled.
Qiu Yan's fists rained down on the assassin, producing dull thuds.
She thought of Gu Qian, but her brother Qian had just gone to the security escort agency and probably wouldn't be back until tonight.
Suddenly, Qiu Xu and Qiu Ling'er appeared and relieved Qiu Yan and the other two from their immediate predicament.
"Sister, Yu'er..."
As soon as the brother and sister arrived, they quickly approached Qiu Yan and Gu Xiaoran.
Before they could ask any more questions, their attacks struck the man in black's vital points...
In an instant, the scene descended into chaos.
With their movements halted, the men in black began hacking and slashing at Qiu Yan and her group of six.
They hadn't expected that so many experts would be by the young prince's side.
Moreover, it has managed to hold them off for so long.
However, they were confident enough.
They felt that the six people in front of them were no match for them at all.
"Ah Xu, Ling'er, be careful at all times!" Qiu Yan's eyes were full of worry.
"Sister, I'll cover you, hurry up!" Qiu Xu said urgently to Qiu Yan and the other two.
Qiu Yan shook her head: "Ling'er, you take Xiao Ran away first!"
"Okay, I'll go find my brother-in-law!" Ling'er grabbed Gu Xiaoran's elbow, ready to go get help, but Gu Xiaoran strongly refused.
"No!"
He wasn't the kind of person to desert in the face of battle. "If we leave, what will happen to Mother and Uncle-Master?"
He recalled the moves he had learned from his father and continued to kill his men.
When he grew up, he faced an enemy head-on for the first time. Due to his lack of experience, he panicked and was caught off guard. However, he was still not afraid of the powerful enemy.
Sensing that lightning was about to strike again, Gu Xiaoran roared at it:
"Get out of my way!"
Lightning drooped its ears, took a few steps, circled in place, sometimes lunging forward, sometimes retreating.
It wanted to protect its master, but it had no choice but to obey its master...
Qiu Xu was extremely skilled and had already seized the assassin's blade at some point, relentlessly slashing at the black-clad man's body.
With the addition of Qiu Xu and his sister, the number of men in black decreased from over fifty to just over forty.
Gradually, only more than thirty people remained, but Qiu Yan and her six companions were still overwhelmed.
At this moment, the six of them had already exhausted a great deal of their energy.
The enemy has too many people, making it difficult to sustain a prolonged conflict.
In the woods behind them, Zhou Zifang and Gao Chong watched this scene from afar, breaking out in a cold sweat. They quickly turned and ran to get help.
In a normal fight, the two of them could lend a hand.
But if they help in this battle between experts, they will only be throwing their lives away.
The man in black had a cold look in his eyes, his target still clearly fixed on Gu Xiaoran.
At this moment, Xuanming Xuanying was already covered in blood and was about to collapse.
Qiu Ling'er was also struggling to cope, but she did not back down and continued to fight against the men in black.
Qiu Ling'er saw a man in black's knife tip already piercing towards Gu Xiao's back.
She suddenly turned her body, and abruptly grabbed the man's neck, snapping it with a crack.
The man's head lolled to one side, and his body went limp.
