Chapter 557
After all, Shen Rang had made preparations around the house before leaving, but the fire was still set off, which meant that those people...
But Le'an did not retreat.
Xiao Mu was getting a little impatient.
He was in a hurry to go back and report.
The longer you stay outside, the more dry food you have to eat.
It tastes awful.
"We don't need you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Mu attacked with overwhelming force.
Le'an confronted him without fear.
Although Xiao Mu was injured, he seemed oblivious to the pain, his every swing and slash ruthless.
Le'an also became fierce, and for a time, the two fought back and forth.
But this stalemate is only temporary.
Xiao Mu was much stronger than Le An, and after only a hundred moves, Le An showed signs of weakness.
Just as Le'an was momentarily careless and Xiao Mu was about to seize the opportunity to kill her, a voice suddenly rang out: "Wait!"
The cold light stopped abruptly just inches away from Le'an. Xiao Mu's eyes shifted to the person who had spoken.
This was the first time Yunxi had ever met such a fierce and indifferent gaze.
This indifference does not stem from a sense of superiority, but rather from a cold indifference towards life itself.
Yunxi took a deep breath and steadied herself: "Let them go, and I'll go with you."
Xiao Mu chuckled.
Le'an was no ordinary person either. In the blink of an eye, he had broken free from Xiao Mu's control and was back protecting Yun Xi.
She was breathing heavily.
During their exchange just now, Le'an had clearly realized the difference in skill between them.
She has absolutely no chance of winning.
But if she loses, then the Chen couple and Yunxi will surely face certain death.
Thinking of this, Le'an couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Madam Chen raised her hand and pulled Yunxi back behind her, like a mother wolf protecting her cub: "If you want to take her away today, you'll have to die!"
"If I die, neither you nor your master will have an easy time!"
“It’s alright,” Xiao Mu said calmly. “No one knows who my master is.”
If Le'an falls, they will have no power to resist. Xiao Mu will be able to deal with them as easily as cutting melons.
Flames were raging behind them, and a dead end lay ahead; it seemed like a hopeless situation.
Yunxi frowned.
This is Jizhou City! The fire is already so big, and she's been dragging this out for so long, why hasn't anyone come yet?!
Just then, I heard a noise coming from the street corner.
It was a series of synchronized footsteps, and there seemed to be the sound of light armor clashing together.
Xiao Mu clicked his tongue.
They had clearly taken down the nearby soldiers, so how did they still arrive so quickly!
In a moment of desperation, Xiao Mu's eyes flashed with rage as he charged straight at Yun Xi, his target being her head!
Le An dodged to parry, but Yun Xi saw his target and pushed Madam Chen, who was protecting her, aside.
Just as Xiao Mu had already deflected Le An's knife, and the cold light in his hand was heading towards Yun Xi's neck, at the critical moment, someone else was even faster than him.
A man holding a long spear lifted Xiao Mu's body high into the air.
Immediately afterwards, another sound of hooves rang out, and a woman dismounted and pulled Yunxi up from the ground.
The woman's tears were particularly noticeable in the firelight.
She cupped Yunxi's face in her hands and looked at her carefully. Before Yunxi could react, the woman pulled her into her arms.
The woman's heart-wrenching cries rang in my ears.
"My child!"
