Fireworks noticed someone suddenly hugging her. She instinctively reached out to attack, but when she saw that it was Zuan, she lowered her hand.
However, as soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a burning pain all over her body, as if the veins in her body had been split open.
The soldier who had launched the sneak attack earlier did not pursue them. Instead, he cautiously kept his distance from the attack and watched from afar.
Zu An then got a good look at him. He had a high nose and wide eyes, and his appearance was quite foreign. He was obviously not from the Central Plains.
"As expected of the King of Assassins of Persia, the Old Man of the Mountain, your performance today has truly broadened my horizons," Zhenjin couldn't help but exclaim.
Although the other experts under his command showed some resentment, they also admired him in their hearts.
Everyone witnessed the strength this woman just displayed; she even managed to kill a powerful figure like the Red Sun Dharma King right in front of her.
As a result, he was able to severely injure his opponent with his first move, and the timing of his attack was absolutely perfect.
Because the fireworks had been severely damaged, the Mongol warriors in the arena knew that their side was bound to win. Fearing that the enemy would launch a counterattack before they died and that they would be unlucky enough to lose their lives, they temporarily stopped fighting and surrounded the two from a distance, creating a brief calm on the battlefield.
Zuan looked at the old man in the mountains, never expecting to encounter this king of assassins from Persia.
However, since the Mongols have now conquered the Persian region, it is only natural that they would recruit him to serve them.
Zhenjin spoke again, "Young Master Guo, your sister is seriously injured. If she is not treated soon, her life may be in danger. Why don't you reconsider my previous suggestion? I will definitely send someone to heal your sister."
The reason he remained calm and composed was because he knew what kind of experts were hiding around him.
Now that the situation is settled, he has once again considered recruiting.
At the same time, he did not forget to use both kindness and severity: "Young Master Guo had better think carefully before answering. Now you are the only one left. If a fight breaks out, not only will you not be able to save your sister, but you will also only have one chance to save yourself. You must be a smart man to make a choice."
Zu An's face was ashen; he knew the other party was telling the truth.
If Yan Hua hadn't been injured, the two of them working together to break through the encirclement wouldn't have been able to stop them at all.
Now that only one person remains, surrounded by so many experts, his chances of successfully breaking through are fifty-fifty.
If you try to bring a wounded firework along, the chance of successfully breaking through will drop to zero.
Fireworks clearly understood this as well, and she said coldly, "You can leave on your own."
She has always relied on herself and never thought about others protecting her.
Moreover, the two didn't have a good relationship; they were barely friends, and at most, they were in a relationship of mutual exploitation. How could the other party possibly take such a big risk to save her?
If you have no expectations, you will not be disappointed.
To everyone's surprise, Zuan smiled and said, "We're comrades, how could I abandon you?"
Fireworks frowned, looking puzzled: "We're not partners, we're competitors in some ways."
Zuan remained calm: "Since we came together, we should go back together. I said before that I would find a way for all four of us to leave successfully, so how could I possibly abandon you here? If we were in each other's shoes, I believe you wouldn't abandon me either."
Fireworks sneered: "You overestimate yourself. I won't help you at all."
"That's such a shame." Although Zuan said this, he remained standing in the same spot and did not leave.
Fireworks wore a cold smile. This man was just blinded by heroism and hadn't seen reality clearly.
If it really comes down to life and death, he will still leave without hesitation.
She had seen far too many things like this; friendships and love, all steadfast in their commitment, ultimately couldn't escape betrayal.
She immediately focused on healing her injuries, but her brows furrowed even more, because that old man in the mountains was indeed very powerful. His sneak attack had almost shattered her heart meridian, making it impossible for her to properly use her internal energy to heal herself.
I never imagined that after so many years of traversing the world, I would ultimately perish here.
Seeing that Zuan was completely ignoring him, Prince Zhenjin's face darkened, and he waved his hand: "Make your move!"
The surrounding Mongol warriors drew their bows and shot arrows at the two men.
With a kick of his toe, two spears appeared in his hand, quickly shielding him from the rain of arrows.
He knew that such passive defense would only result in him being riddled with arrows, so he found an opening and stomped the ground hard, sending the arrows that had fallen around him flying into the air. Then, he swept his spear, sending the scattered arrows flying back. As the archers were thrown into disarray, he grabbed Yan Hua's waist with one hand and charged into the midst of the Mongol warriors.
Only by using the crowd for cover can one avoid being used as a live target by those archers.
Fireworks frowned; the heat emanating from her waist made her extremely uncomfortable.
She had indeed been hugged like this before, but at that time it was purely a cat-and-mouse game. This was the first time she had ever felt so helpless and in need of his protection.
But what's the use? In the end, he will still abandon you. It's better to leave from the beginning to avoid causing emotional turmoil.
For some unknown reason, her expression grew increasingly cold.
At this moment, the surrounding Mongol warriors and Quanzhen Taoists attacked Zu'an one after another. Unfortunately, with Zu'an's eyesight and knowledge, he guarded the gate and managed to block wave after wave of attacks.
The Mongol experts, including Bai Sun Dao Ren, exchanged glances, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.
The fireworks display had already shocked them, but they didn't expect there to be another one. Seeing the opponent's move, they even had a vague realization that if they went back and secluded themselves for a while, they might be able to break through to the next level.
