Chapter 768 Rupture - Conclusion
The man's voice was light and cheerful, completely out of place with the tense atmosphere.
I thought Shadow would become even more agitated when provoked.
But to everyone's surprise, after the other party spoke, the murderous aura that Shadow had previously exuded immediately subsided considerably.
"What brings you here, young master?"
Shadow bowed respectfully to Xu Yunzhi, who was slowly walking out, but Xu Yunzhi had no time to pay him any attention.
He walked quickly to Wuyin and, seeing her still bleeding wound, threw a bottle of medicine at her.
Then, glancing at Wuqing lying on the ground, Xu Yunzhi waved his hand, and two men helped Wuqing into the courtyard.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law heard the fighting outside had stopped and were about to go out to see what was going on when they saw someone helping Wuqing, who was covered in blood, into the house. They were so frightened that they immediately ran back inside.
Wuyin took the medicine for her injuries, but before she could treat her wounds, she went to pick up the child.
"If you want to die, then move as fast as you can!"
Xu Yunzhi's voice sounded light and airy, but Wuyin dared not move after hearing it.
Xu Yunzhi walked to the swaddling clothes, looked at the child inside, and then asked An Ying, "Whose child is this?"
"this……"
Shadow was somewhat embarrassed. Although he shouldn't hide it from Xu Yunzhi, he couldn't bring himself to say it because he thought about how Xu Yunzhi and Yun Yichen were still secretly in contact.
"That's my wife's child."
Shadow did not answer, but Silent answered first.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yunzhi looked down at the baby smiling at her, and her girlish heart shattered into pieces.
"So he's my nephew! No wonder I ran into him!"
Xu Yunzhi teased the baby for a moment before turning to look at An Ying. "Did you bring the child out?"
Knowing that it wouldn't matter whether he said it or not, Shadow could only nod, which was considered an admission.
"Look how thin my nephew has become from starvation. I've taken pity on him, so you should atone for your sins with your own death!"
Xu Yunzhi's smile remained unchanged, but what he said surprised Dark Shadow.
"Young master, what are you saying?"
"I told you to atone with your death, didn't you hear me?"
Xu Yunzhi blinked, offering a very kind reminder.
Shadow was now somewhat enraged. Although he was just a subordinate, he was still the old man's subordinate. If the old man ordered him to die, he would have no objections, but why should Xu Yunzhi, a mere brat who hadn't even grown his first hair, be ordered to die?
"The child was ordered by the master to be brought back to Jin. If you continue to obstruct him, don't blame Shadow for being impolite."
Shadow's face darkened, and he stepped forward to snatch the child.
Xu Yunzhi turned around, bypassing the shadow's attempt to snatch the child, and then handed the child to Wuyin.
"Hold him tight, don't drop my nephew."
After speaking, Xu Yunzhi unfolded his folding fan and attacked the shadowy figure.
Shadow was not afraid of Xu Yunzhi's sudden attack at all. In his opinion, with his skills, it would be too easy to dodge Xu Yunzhi's attack.
However, this very confidence caused him to suffer a loss. When Xu Yunzhi approached, Shadow instinctively tried to block, but before he could even touch the folding fan, Xu Yunzhi quickly changed his move, spinning the folding fan in his hand and directly injuring Shadow's arm.
Shadow winced in pain, then exclaimed in shock, "You actually held back!"
Xu Yunzhi smiled wickedly, "I won't hold back. How can I let you suffer a loss today?"
As Xu Yunzhi spoke, he launched another attack. Shadow, having just suffered a loss, was afraid of getting hurt again, so he quickly distanced himself from Xu Yunzhi.
But Xu Yunzhi would never give him that chance. He relentlessly pursued him while he was busy gaining points, never letting him have a moment's respite.
Ultimately, under Xu Yunzhi's relentless pressure, Shadow was hit by several blows, but fortunately, Xu Yunzhi was using a folding fan, so it did not cause him any fatal injury.
Shadow looked at his torn clothes. "Young Master, are you planning to go against your master?"
The shadow's words unconsciously carried a hint of threat, and Xu Yunzhi immediately stopped upon hearing this.
Having lingered here for so long, Shadow saw that Xu Yunzhi seemed to be intimidated, and immediately took a few steps to Wuyin's side, saying, "Give me the child."
The commanding tone annoyed Wuyin. Wuyin had just finished applying medicine and stopped bleeding. Hearing this, she shrank back and said firmly, "Unless I die."
Xu Yunzhi stood a few meters away watching the show. Seeing that he had no intention of intervening, An Ying raised his sword and pointed it at Wuyin, saying, "Then you can die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a clang. Wuyin remained standing in place, but Anying collapsed to the ground, sword and all.
The shadowy figure turned to look at Xu Yunzhi, who looked at his folding fan and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten that this fan is coated with poison."
Shadow's gaze held a bloodthirsty glint. Only now did he realize that Xu Yunzhi had completely sided with Yun Yichen.
No, he must send this message back to his master.
Shadow thought to himself, trying to stand up, but he fell back down as soon as he moved.
Xu Yunzhi slowly walked over, and seeing the unwillingness on An Ying's face, Xu Yunzhi shook his head.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity. If it weren't for meeting me, you wouldn't have to die today."
After Xu Yunzhi finished speaking, he reached out and took the child from Wuyin's hands, and then said, "You can settle your own scores!"
Wuyin gave Xu Yunzhi a grateful look, and after watching him enter the courtyard, she slowly walked towards the shadows.
"You, you can't kill me."
For the first time, Shadow felt fear of death. His gaze fell on Silent's face, and it seemed to carry a hint of pleading!
Wuyin laughed upon hearing this. "Why not? Just because you are my biological father? But don't forget, you are also my enemy, the one who killed my mother."
"No, I didn't kill her."
Shadow's speech was becoming somewhat unclear, but one could still vaguely make out what he was saying.
"Yes, it's true that you didn't do it, but what did you do? You endlessly belittled your mother, turning her into your puppet, and finally, she committed suicide through constant self-denial."
Wuyin thought of the scene when she saw her birth mother jump into the river. She closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again, her eyes were full of resentment.
"Didn't you always say I was a good-for-nothing? Didn't you always say that women weren't worthy of learning martial arts? Didn't you tell me to be a maidservant and then grow up to be someone's concubine? Today, I'll show you whether I'm worthy or not."
As Wuyin spoke, she exerted force with the longsword in her hand, and in an instant, it pierced through the chest of the shadow.
A spurt of blood gushed out, and disbelief lingered in Shadow's eyes until the very end.
It's unclear whether he couldn't believe Wuyin would make a move, or he couldn't believe he would die like that, but either way, it truly happened.
