Chapter 456 Why... did you come just now?
When Xiao Nanyue saw the hidden weapon coming, he dodged sideways. In this fleeting gap, Xiao Beicheng pounced on Xiyan like an arrow, his five fingers like claws, determined to capture her.
"mean!"
Xiao Nanyue had already seen through his tricks. While dodging, the Jinghong sword at his waist was unsheathed with a "swoosh". The sword light was like a stream of light, and it took the blow with a sharp gust of wind.
The two weapons collided violently in the air, sparks flew everywhere, and Xiao Beicheng was forced to retreat three steps, and his hand that was trying to grab Xiyan finally fell into empty air.
When Xiao Nanyue swung his sword to block, he subconsciously activated his internal energy. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. His face turned pale and fine cold sweat instantly seeped out of his forehead - it was obvious that the action just now had pulled the knife wound.
Seeing this, Xiao Beicheng's eyes flashed with ecstasy:
"It seems that the blow did not leave a light wound after all! Today, I will let you die under my sword!"
As he spoke, his attack became more fierce, and his long sword coiled towards Xiao Nanyue like a poisonous snake.
"Don't be so arrogant, old man!"
Manluo shouted softly, and swung the sword in her hand again, accurately wrapping it around Xiao Beicheng's wrist, blocking his attack.
She moved swiftly and instantly became entangled in a fight with Xiao Beicheng.
Because Manluo and Xiao Beicheng were fighting, the archers did not dare to shoot rashly. Some palace guards rushed forward with swords, but were met by hundreds of death warriors summoned by Xiao Beicheng who had just issued a signal. The battlefield was in chaos again.
At this moment, Xiyan saw that Xiao Nanyan's face was getting paler and his lips were getting lighter. She knew that his wound must have opened. Her heart tightened and she hurried forward to support his arm. There was a subtle tremor in her voice:
"You, how are you?"
Xiao Nanyue looked down at her and saw concern in her eyes. A warmth instantly surged in his heart, and the previous pain seemed to be alleviated a little.
He stretched out his long arms, holding her tightly in his arms, his voice low and gentle:
"I'm fine. Yanyan, I've made you suffer these past few days!"
"Why... did you come just now?"
As soon as the words came out, even Xiyan herself was stunned.
There was a hint of resentment and grievance in the tone, as if someone who had been waiting for a long time had finally seen the returnee.
Hearing this, Xiao Nanyan's lips curled up slightly into a smile, and the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowed:
"I was unconscious for three days and three nights. After waking up, I immediately sent Manluo to sneak into the palace through a secret passage to protect you. I was outside the city planning how to rescue you and successfully capture the city without alerting the enemy."
Xiyan lowered her eyes and said nothing, leaning quietly in his arms, the familiar cold plum scent of his body lingering on her nose.
That breath dispelled the fear and anxiety she had felt for days, and her heart strangely calmed down. It turned out that he had been trying to find a way to save her.
Helian Feng, who was standing aside, looked at the two people hugging each other and felt as if something was blocking his heart. A sour feeling kept coming up, almost making it difficult for him to breathe.
He clearly saw that when Xiyan leaned in Xiao Nanyue's arms, the wariness and alienation in her eyes completely faded away, replaced by a kind of relaxation and trust that he had never seen before.
It seems that that knife not only hurt Xiao Nanyue, but also completely cut off the last resentment in Xiyan's heart.
Perhaps, she had already forgiven Xiao Nanyue, because from the beginning to the end, the only person she loved was Xiao Nanyue.
And Helian Feng's love, his obsession, and everything he did were nothing but a self-indulgent joke.
He silently tightened his grip on the sword. The coldness of the blade pierced through his palm, but it was far less chilling than the chill in his heart. It turned out that some people, some things, had their endings predetermined from the very beginning.
Helian Shu stood not far from Helian Feng, watching Xiyan and Xiao Nanyue hugging each other. The way they were so affectionate and loving was like a poisonous thorn piercing her heart.
She was so angry that she was shaking all over, digging her nails into her palms, not even noticing the blood oozing out.
Daddy's defeat is certain, and she is now at the end of her rope.
But looking at Xiyan nestling peacefully in Xiao Nanyue's arms, the resentment and unwillingness in Helian Shu's heart grew like weeds.
She risked it all. Since she was going to die anyway, she might as well drag that bitch Xiyan to hell with her!
While everyone's attention was focused on the fight on the field, no one paid attention to her, a weak woman who knew no martial arts.
Helian Shu slipped quietly behind Xiyan and Xiao Nanyan.
She tightly grasped the dagger in her hand, with a crazy light flashing in her eyes. She suddenly raised the dagger and stabbed it towards Xiyan's back.
Xiao Nanyue had amazing hearing ability. Hearing a gust of wind behind him, he turned quickly and used a "kick like a weeping willow" move, kicking Helian Shu hard in the lower abdomen.
Helian Shu was hit hard and flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. She fell heavily to the ground, spurting blood from her mouth. Her eyes went black and she fainted on the spot.
