Chapter 209 Can't Beat
Mu Xi's mind raced. There were things she couldn't say outright, but she had to make clear: "Since you know, you should know that this matter is beyond the capacity of your Northern Region alone, and you need the support of other forces. Do you really think so little of my Jin Fang Jun Mansion?"
The official road was unusually quiet.
"Didn't I just say there's no conflict..." Liu Yang said nonchalantly, not taking Mu Xi seriously at all. "Your Highness has misunderstood. As I said before, I've seen countless women in my life, but someone like Your Highness... is truly a first. I had absolutely no intention of harming Your Highness. Today was merely a verification, and after that verification... Your Highness... no... should address me as 'Princess'... Such a remarkable woman, even surpassing Princess Qingyang, I admire her greatly..."
As Liu Yang said this, he indeed refrained from making any further rash moves against Mu Xi.
Although Mu Xi couldn't see the stinging pain in her waist, she couldn't even feel the pain anymore.
If what Liu Yang said is true, then...
Mu Xi's mind raced. He knew this secret was only meant to be used for blackmail, but she was not one to be threatened willingly. This man could not be allowed to live.
"A volatile maniac? Are you sure you can handle that?" Mu Xi asked the inner void.
The volatile personality squatted at the edge of the dark void and sighed: "Sigh... I also want to kill him, but unfortunately you don't even have the strength to stand up now, you're useless."
"Strategy, strategy, do you have any ideas?" Mu Xi asked the strategy personality again.
His strategic and personal demeanor remained impassive: "Before absolute power, any trickery is futile. Unless you have a drug on you or a poisoned thorn in your hand."
With nothing and no other options, Mu Xi gave up.
"Heh, what is the young master thinking? Are you planning to kill me to silence me?" Liu Yang's title of "General Eagle Soaring" wasn't for nothing; his eagle eyes immediately saw through me, his breath hot against my ear. "Kill me? You can't kill me. Why not... follow me, and I can cover up this heinous crime for you. As for the young master Xuan You, I can also try to mediate for you..."
"Ah..." The feeling of humiliation surged and boiled in her chest like magma. In both her lives, she had never suffered such humiliation. Mu Xi mustered her strength, picked up a stone and smashed it at Liu Yang's head.
Liu Yang tilted his head slightly, seemingly too lazy to even dodge.
Mu Xi delivered another flying kick.
Liu Yang then stood up and leaped away: "I saw it all just now. Not to mention that women's fancy moves are useless against me, even the way the young master fought so recklessly just now, which hurt the enemy a thousand but also himself eight hundred, is of no use."
Mu Xi rolled to her feet without answering, grabbed a handful of dirt, threw it at them, and ran away.
Liu Yang caught up in a few steps.
At that moment, the faint sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.
Mu Xi cried out desperately for help: "Help! Help!"
Liu Yang caught up and restrained Mu Xi with one hand while covering his mouth with the other: "What are you shouting for, Your Highness? I told you, I never wanted to kill you. You can't wrong an innocent person."
Mu Xi's only advantage was her height, and she bumped her head into Liu Yang's face: "Help, help..."
"Ouch..." The impact was quite severe, and Liu Yang let go of her hand.
Mu Xi ran desperately toward the sound of hooves, crying out, "Help! Help!"
Having already suffered a blow to his vital energy during the assassination attempt outside Moyang City, and after this ordeal, he collapsed again after only a few steps due to exhaustion.
However, just as she fell, she finally saw the figure she had been longing for.
"Your Highness..." A thunderous shout sounded like sweet rain to Mu Xi.
At the same time, Liu Yang grabbed her shoulder again.
"Kill him." Mu Xi condensed all her words into two simple words.
Even without being told, Mu Xun could clearly see that Pinghu Yingyue's eyes transformed into two raging waterfalls as she leaped from her horse, a cold light tearing through the air and piercing straight at Liu Yang's face.
Liu Yang reacted extremely quickly, suddenly turning to the side the instant the sword was about to strike him, while simultaneously shoving Mu Xi hard into the incoming sword.
Mu Xun's pupils contracted sharply. He forcibly withdrew his sword, the blade narrowly grazing Mu Xi's clothes. The immense force of the impact caused him to stagger half a step.
As Mu Xi was released, she fled to Mu Xun's side, saying, "He knows."
With just four words, Mu Xun immediately understood what they meant.
Mu Xi then noticed that Mu Xun's outfit was torn, and his hair and face were scratched. He had gone to "rescue" her alone, and must have gotten scratched in the woods when he couldn't find her on his way back and came looking for her in a panic.
Only then did Mu Xun notice the numerous cuts on Mu Xi's clothes caused by sword blades, and his deep, dark eyes surged with a monstrous rage: "You deserve to die..."
The moment the word "die" left his lips, Mu Xun drew his sword and charged forward.
"Heh, here comes someone who's courting death." Liu Yang spoke casually, but his hands dared not be careless as he raised his sword to parry. "Second Young Master's swordsmanship is fine on others, but unfortunately, it's not so good against me..."
"Liu Yang..." Mu Xun's voice was as cold as iron as he addressed his murderous opponent, "You will surely die today."
Liu Yang darted up and down, only defending and not attacking: "Heh, you want me dead? With the little skill you've shown so far?"
Sword energy pierced the air, and a chilling aura filled the air.
Mu Xun never wastes words with his enemies; his gentle eyes, like those reflecting the moon on a calm lake, now held only a chilling killing intent.
The clear, sharp sword light carried a resolute determination to pierce through everything.
"Clang, clang, clang—"
Liu Yang, however, remained unfazed.
"Clang, clang, clang—"
The deafening clang of metal echoed along the ancient road, stirring up clouds of dust.
"Xi Xun..." Mu Xi couldn't see clearly, but in no time, Mu Xun was stabbed several times, and his shoulders and arms were stained with blood.
Mu Xun tried to hold on, but knew he was no match: "I'm fine, you ride my horse first."
Why didn't you say anything earlier, but now you're letting her leave first?
That means we really can't win.
"No...we'll go together." Mu Xi never expected that one day she would say something like the nonsense from a movie or TV show from her past life.
Mu Xun was overwhelmed: "Let's go...find someone...send a message..."
Too.
Since we can't win, we can't just let the two of us get trapped here and die.
Mu Xi turned and galloped toward the horse that Mu Xun had ridden.
"Heh, leave? None of you will be leaving today." Liu Yang said this and then, without anyone noticing, made his move.
Before Mu Xi could even reach the horse, it, like the one she had ridden before, let out a long "whimper" and fell to the ground.
“You…” Mu Xi turned around and looked for the fallen longsword.
Since we've already tried to escape and can't win, then let's fight two against one and give it a shot.
Mu Xi seized an opening and thrust her sword forward.
Liu Yang chuckled, his sword aura suddenly shifting, transforming into a raging storm: "It's just that one I want to live, and the other I want to die."
With a loud bang, Tiger's head throbbed with pain.
Before Mu Xi could react, she was once again restrained by Liu Yang, with a sword held to her neck.
