Mu Beichen stared intently at the dark pill in Mu Feiyu's hand. His gaze sharpened, and he walked straight over. His handsome face was as cold as ever. He took the pill and was about to throw it into his slightly parted lips when a sudden exclamation made him stop in his tracks.
"No...don't eat!" Feng Jin's pupils dilated as she stared intently at the man in her line of sight, a mixture of fear and trepidation gripping her heart.
Who is Mu Feiyu? He is ruthless and cunning, far beyond the reach of ordinary people. When she discovered that he had established an independent evil sect in the martial arts world and colluded with enemy countries to enrich himself, she knew that this regent had already reached a point of utter madness in his pursuit of imperial power. And the Thousand Kite Palace, which was feared by all, was merely one of his henchmen. Even with the combined forces of the Prince Jing's Mansion and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, they could only barely maintain the status quo; they were no match for Mu Feiyu.
Even if this pill isn't lethal, it must still be a means for him to manipulate Mu Beichen.
Feng Jin watched him intently as he calmly swallowed the pill through his thin lips, her emotions shifting wildly in that instant.
She was oblivious, but a cold voice rang in her ears: "Mu Beichen, what are you still standing there for?"
Standing opposite her, Mu Feiyu's eyes turned cold, and before the words had even finished, she added, "Do you need me to lend you a knife?"
With a slight turn of his body, his long black hair cascaded down his shoulders like a waterfall, fluttering in the wind. Mu Beichen looked back at the woman behind him with tears in her eyes, his lips slightly upturned. He smiled, and the cold light of the sword's edge shot towards him. He gripped the sword in his right hand and pierced through her other arm with one strike!
Bright red blood, like a jet of water, gushed out from the severed arm that had been flung away, instantly splattering all over Mu Beichen's face!
Even Mu Feiyu was stunned at this moment. She never expected that he would actually be so cruel to himself for the sake of a woman.
This single fatal weakness is enough to cause the opponent to lose everything.
“Ah Chen…”
Feng Jin screamed in despair, staring at his severed arm, most of which had been pierced off. She almost fainted from crying. In her blurred vision, his figure became increasingly indistinct. For the first time in her life, she felt so helpless, so vulnerable... She desperately wanted to rush towards him, but her limbs could not break free from the dense vines.
Holding the razor-sharp dagger in her hand, Mu Feiyu stood between Feng Jin and Su Ruan, weighing the options repeatedly, and then chuckled softly, "Choose one of the two. Have you decided who you want to save?"
With tears streaming down her face, Su Ruan looked at Mu Beichen and cried out in a soft, shrill voice, "Your Highness! Please take me away!"
Mu Beichen took a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped in his tracks. He stared intently at the two women in front of him, seemingly hesitating about which one to choose.
Then, his eyes flashed, and without hesitation, he walked towards Su Ruan, bent down, and untied the vines binding her. Just as he was about to leave, he unexpectedly found that her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, Su Ruan no longer had the strength to take another step forward, and Mu Beichen did not hesitate. He used his intact right hand to pull her into his arms, and the two supported each other as they fled down the mountain.
"Mu Beichen..."
Feng Jin suddenly called his name from behind. Before she could say anything else, Mu Beichen had already grabbed Su Ruan's hand and run down the mountain and away.
