Chapter 298 The Endless Fight
Chu Jin heard the noise behind him, and when he turned around to look, he was frightened out of his wits.
He rushed to the iron chain like a madman, stretched out his hands, but only grasped a handful of cold mountain wind.
The clouds and mist below were swirling, and the bright purple had long disappeared.
"Manluo, Manluo, don't scare me!"
His whole body was shaken, and he was about to jump down, but was held tightly by the Soul Killer who rushed over from behind:
"National Master, absolutely not!"
Then, several assassins rushed up and held Chu Jin down tightly.
"Manluo——"
The mountain wind carried his roar into the canyon, but even the echo was swallowed by the thick fog.
Chu Jin froze at the edge of the cliff, his scarlet hem rustling in the wind. His eyes, which always held an evil smile, now only contained emptiness and panic, as if the whole world had shattered into an incomprehensible mist below the cliff along with the falling purple shadow.
After a while, he finally came to his senses, staggered away from the Soul Killer, and ordered sternly:
"Hurry, follow me and search under the cliff. If there's water below, she might still be alive..."
…
Helian Feng caught a glimpse of Han Xiao carrying Xiao Nanyan and disappearing around the corner of the mountain road. He knew that after they came down the mountain, they would definitely summon the Xiao family army. If the main force of the Xiao family army arrived, his small group would be like a turtle in a jar.
After thinking about it, he swung his sword violently to deflect Fu Yunqing's sword and made a retreat gesture to the Xuanjia Guards behind him:
"Walk!"
Before he finished speaking, he jumped onto the stone steps first, and the Black Armor Guards followed closely behind him like a tide, stepping on the broken blades and corpses on the ground, and retreating like a tide along the path in the back mountain.
When turning to the back mountain, Helian Feng looked back at Feiyun Temple. The flames rising into the sky were engulfing the last half of the pagoda.
The glazed tiles exploded into streams of fire in the flames, just like the light that burned out in Xiyan's eyes when she fell into the pit.
His throat suddenly felt sour and his heart was gripped by a dull pain, which made his internal organs hurt.
This time, he originally wanted to rescue her and snatch her back from Xiao Nanyue, but he didn't expect that the men he brought with him would become her death warrant.
The mountain wind blew up dust and ashes, which landed on his face, making it itchy, as if bugs were crawling on it.
For the first time in his life, he felt resentment towards Su Qinyao. Why was his own mother so determined to force Xiyan to death? She was nothing more than a pawn in Xiao Nanyan's hands.
Thinking of the first time he met her, she was dressed in white under the pear tree and she had successfully entered his heart. From then on, it would be difficult to separate her.
However, he would never see the beautiful woman who stood quietly in his arms by the Taiye Lake again in this life.
"If it weren't for Xiao Nanyan..."
Helian Feng muttered to himself and clenched his fists tightly.
If it weren't for Xiao Nanyue, she would still be staying in the Prince's Mansion.
Even if she didn't have him in her heart, as long as he treated her gently and married her, they would always have affection for each other every day, which would be better than having no remains left.
But there are no ifs in this world.
Helian Feng suddenly started running down the mountain. The warmth in his eyes, which were once as bright as stars, disappeared, and his eyes became fierce again.
The source of all his pain today was attributed to his half-brother - it was Xiao Nanyan who destroyed everything he had and took away the love of his life.
"Xiao Nanyan..."
He murmured the name, as if chewing a piece of ice:
"Between you and me, there will be a fight to the death..."
Fu Yunqing watched Helian Feng and his men disappear into the depths of the dense forest without pursuing them.
Xiao Nanyue's injuries cannot be underestimated. I am afraid that Xiyan's death will make him even more heartbroken. Fu Yunqing is extremely anxious at the moment and has no time to chase Helian Feng.
When the remaining assassins of Xiao Beicheng outside the temple heard that their master had died in the fire, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
Fu Yunqing was also shocked when he learned that Manluo fell off the cliff. If Xiao Nanyan woke up and knew that something had happened to Manluo, he would definitely be even more anxious.
He looked at the still-burning temple, where sparks danced like fireflies among the ruins, and immediately pointed out two groups of people:
One team stayed behind to put out the fire and dig up the secret pit to look for Xiyan, wanting to find her alive or dead; the other team took a small path to the bottom of the cliff to search for Manluo's whereabouts.
He himself, along with several personal guards, rushed down the mountain.
The mountain road still stank of the bloody smell of fierce fighting, and in the distance, the red flags of the Xiao family army were spreading over the mountain ridge like clouds.
Xiao Nanyue had already made arrangements. As soon as he rescued Xiyan, he would catch Xiao Beicheng and his gang in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, Xiyan had an accident, disrupting all his plans.
At this moment, Fu Yunqing's heart was heavy. In one night, the two girls he had been with day and night were both in danger of death. From the looks of it, it was more likely to be a disaster than a good one.
He knew the temperament of this cold-faced prince too well. Although he acted indifferent and distant towards Xiyan in front of others, he had already fallen deeply in love with her without realizing it. Moreover, the girl was pregnant with their child.
Seeing that Xiao Nanyue vomited blood repeatedly today, I'm afraid he was in extreme pain and his heart meridians were injured.
If something really happened to Xiyan, Xiao Nanyue, with his stubborn personality, didn't dare to imagine whether he could get through it.
Despite his thoughts, Fu Yunqing's pace became faster and faster.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind:
Rush back to the Grand Tutor's Mansion as soon as possible, fetch the ancestral life-extending elixir, and treat Xiao Nanyan...
