Lin Han saw an arrow shooting towards Wei Yuchen from behind, and immediately shouted and pushed him away.
Wei Yuchen then realized what was happening, drew his sword, and looked around warily.
After Lin Han pushed Wei Yuchen away, she also dodged and was not injured. So when she got up from the ground, she quickly ran to stand behind Wei Yuchen.
At this moment, many masked assassins jumped down from the tree. Two of them exchanged a glance, then looked away and stared at Lin Han.
"They're coming for me. If things get really bad, go back and call for backup," Lin Han said softly, sitting close to Wei Yuchen.
Although Wei Yucheng did not say anything, his expression was full of disapproval.
The assassins gave the two no chance to talk and charged at them with their swords.
Wei Yuchen pulled Lin Han into his arms, protecting her tightly, and went to fight against others alone.
Lin Han was of no use at this time, and could only try her best to stay still in his arms to avoid causing him any greater burden.
"Maybe I should just knock him out later. I can take him down by myself." For some reason, Lin Han felt that the assassin's movements were particularly slow, so slow that she could kill him with a single sword strike.
"Forget it, you'd better stop trying to be a hero and just let him be your protector," Xiaomeng replied.
Although Xiaomeng was capable of ensuring that Lin Han could kill the opponent unscathed, she still preferred to watch the hero save the damsel in distress.
Wei Yucheng has an exceptionally strong foundation in martial arts, and even under such circumstances, he can still subtly gain the upper hand.
When the assassin realized he couldn't defeat Wei Yuchen, he targeted Lin Han, who was in his arms.
In order to protect Lin Han, Wei Yucheng was somewhat restrained in his fighting at this moment.
The assassins also noticed this, so they all targeted Lin Han, and Wei Yucheng was injured as a result.
Lin Han was peacefully nestled in Wei Yuchen's arms when she suddenly smelled blood. She tried to turn to check his injuries, but Wei Yuchen held her tightly, preventing her from moving.
"Wei Yuchen, are you alright?" Lin Han asked him worriedly.
"It's alright, don't be afraid." Wei Yuchen thought she was scared and gently comforted her.
The assassins' attacks grew increasingly fierce, and Wei Yuchen began to retreat slowly. When he saw the horses, he sheathed his sword, picked up Lin Han, mounted the horse, and rode away in a cloud of dust.
The assassins were no pushovers either; they quickly found their original horses, mounted them, and chased after Lin Han and his group.
Soon, several assassins caught up with Lin Han and his group, and tried to shoot them with bows, but Wei Yuchen dodged them all.
Seeing that something was wrong, Wei Yucheng quickly rode his horse up the mountain.
The mountain path is steep, with many loose stones and trees, which is just enough to cover one's tracks.
Along the way, Wei Yucheng outmaneuvered many people, but there were always a few he couldn't shake off.
In this chase, Wei Yuchen was caught up to the mountaintop, with a bottomless abyss in front of him and assassins pursuing him from behind. The two had nowhere to retreat.
"Give up the struggle, you're all doomed." The leader of the assassins looked at the cliff in front of them and said to Lin Han and the others.
Wei Yucheng was naturally aware of the current situation, but when he saw many crooked trees below the cliff, a bold idea came to his mind.
Lin Han naturally thought the same thing as him, but while Wei Yucheng was betting that the tree could catch them, Lin Han was very certain that the tree could catch them.
She tugged at Wei Yuchen's sleeve and mouthed for him to jump down. So Wei Yuchen dismounted, looked at the assassin in front of him, and made a gesture as if he had given up resisting.
Before they could react, Wei Yuchen leaped with Lin Han in his arms. As they fell rapidly, Wei Yuchen caught Lin Han in his arms and cushioned his fall with himself. The two of them crashed to the ground.
When the assassins saw them jump off the cliff, they looked down from the edge but couldn't see them. Although they hadn't killed them themselves, they knew they wouldn't survive anyway, so they all turned back.
