Yu Qianqian was sitting in a dimly lit cave. When she woke up, she found herself with her back against the stone wall and her limbs bound by ropes. She was now unable to move an inch.
Recalling the scene of being knocked unconscious the moment she opened her eyes not long ago, she slowly regained her senses. She stared intently at the outside of the cave, only to see that the surrounding area was pitch black. In the dim light and shadow that gradually evolved under the lightning and thunder, she could see several figures of swords and blades dancing wildly in the air. They would blend into the unusually dark sky.
At the same time, she also saw someone wielding a long sword and striking down from high above. Because they were very close, she could see clearly that the person about to be attacked was Su Yu!
She wanted to yell at him to tell him she was there, but then she opened her mouth and let out a small groan, only to realize that her mouth was stuffed with a smelly rag.
The sudden confinement silenced all her words, making her feel like she was experiencing the most desperate moment of her life. What she found most unbelievable was that, until now, she had no idea who the enemy who had kidnapped her was, let alone how to escape.
Now, all Yu Qianqian can do is quietly wait for everything to end and for the situation to escalate to its worst state, or, by sheer luck, escape with Su Yu...
In the desolate wilderness, in the distant distance, the sounds of chaotic fighting could be heard continuously. It was as if someone was wielding swords and knives under the night sky. A gust of wind howled, mixed with the crisp sound of fine iron weapons clashing, and the sound traveled from mid-air for dozens of miles.
In the dead of night, the cold wind howled and lightning roared in the sky. At the same time, several figures flew and darted around like runaway lightning, accompanied by layers of floating light. The boiling murderous aura, mixed with flying sand and stones, swept in from several miles away.
The two men and one woman who were fighting fiercely under the night sky attracted countless people in an instant. The group of black-armored and red-clad guards who had just arrived at their destination were still ten feet away and had not yet had time to get close to them. Before they could even catch their breath, they were immediately surrounded by a larger group of mysterious assassins.
All around him was a dense, thick wall of people. Su Yu held his sword in one hand to parry the attacks, while protecting Leng Yuexi with the other. Due to the long trek, his physical strength was almost exhausted. He was being forced into a retreat by his opponents, and it was highly likely that he and Leng Yuexi would be defeated at any moment.
With a quick glance around, Su Yu knew that fighting these people head-on would be certain death. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. Just then, he saw one of the men with a sword coming straight at him. He decided to play along and let the cold sword pierce deep into his left shoulder.
Immediately, he seized the opportunity to thrust his longsword diagonally and stabbed fiercely. The sword struck one of the men squarely in the chest, and the man immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body stiffened, and he fell to the ground, dying on the spot!
Leng Yuexi cowered behind Su Yu, circling around him timidly. Born into a noble family, she had been pampered and spoiled since childhood, like a delicate flower raised in a greenhouse. She had never witnessed such a bloody scene in her life.
When she witnessed the enemy being pierced through the chest by Su Yu's sword, with blood splattering everywhere before her eyes, she was so frightened that her legs went weak and she stumbled and fell to the ground.
