Cooperate! Absolutely cooperate!
It's just an exhibition match! I get it, I get it!
Koting quickly adjusted his expression, his large, bell-like eyes suddenly narrowing: "And who are you?"
"You are not worthy to know my name!"
After saying that, the two retreated at the same time, changed their moves and attacked each other again. In the blink of an eye, dozens of moves had been exchanged. The intertwined cold light was terrifying, and the clanging of the blades startled the flying stones and sand!
So strong!
This is the sentiment of all the ghosts present!
They're saved! The morale of the changgui (a type of ghost) soared!
However, only Chu Hongluan knew that Ke Tinghe only used 30% of his internal energy to fight her; the remaining 70% was used to create special effects for the battle...
It looks impressive, but it's all just stage effects.
Mo Yu looked at the slender figure wearing the Shura mask and felt that she looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
Who exactly are these assassins?
Why kill him?
Who instructed the person who stole his jade pendant?
Who is this secret guard who suddenly appeared and is secretly helping us?
Who is this woman who suddenly appeared? Is she the leader of the assassins?
Mo Yu was completely confused, and in that moment of distraction, he suffered several more cuts.
Upon seeing this, the guards frowned and immediately sent some men to relieve the pressure on him. They cursed inwardly, "Damn it, we were ordered to rescue you, and you don't value your own life?"
Meanwhile, Kotinghe was gradually losing ground, sweat beading on his forehead, and he was in great distress.
Ruthless, so ruthless! How could such terrifying power be unleashed from the body of a delicate young lady with no internal strength whatsoever?
He simply couldn't imagine how powerful she must have been in the outside world during her prime!
At first, he was indeed just going along with the performance, sparring with her. But as the fight progressed and his internal energy rapidly depleted, he realized something was wrong. Firstly, his hand was numb, and his entire arm trembled when the blades clashed!
Furthermore, this madman's every strike is a killing blow!
There are no fancy moves. If you find a knife that you can easily catch or dodge, don't doubt it. It is definitely restricting or guiding your movement to pave the way for the next fatal blow!
Each slash was aimed straight at his vital points!
It was as if she and her knife were born for killing!
Kotinghe regretted his actions, wishing he hadn't wasted so much internal energy on creating a fighting effect from the start!
No! I feel like if this keeps up, he'll really die at her hands!
Then, Ke Tinghe had a sudden idea. He took a step back, shifted to the left, and kicked one of the guards in the backside! He sent the guard flying straight toward Chu Hongluan!
"Dude! Help me block this!"
Bodyguard: ......
As a bodyguard, the basic qualities are knowing what to see and what not to see, what to hear and what not to hear, and to think less and do more.
However, he wasn't stupid.
That man glared at Miss Chu, and his eyes were practically popped out by his master. If he had hurt even a hair on Miss Chu's head, he would have been dead when he got back.
The instant he was kicked, his thought was: I absolutely must be careful, I must not hurt Miss Chu!
But when Chu Hongluan's blade whistled through the air and came slashing toward his head, the terrifying blade intent that rushed toward him instantly shattered his naivety.
A moment later, the guard jumped behind another guard and kicked him in the buttocks.
Sorry, buddy.
While Chu Hongluan was fighting fiercely, the other ghosts were not faring so well. Apart from the burly ghost who was initially chased by Ke Tinghe and still had some strength left, the other ghosts were nearing the exhaustion of their inner strength and had suffered numerous injuries. It was already difficult for them to stay alive.
In the midst of the melee, one of the demons' weapons was knocked away, and in the next instant, three poisoned darts were aimed straight at his face!
He tried to use his internal energy to leap away, but his dantian was empty, and he could only watch as the cold glint of the poisoned dart rapidly magnified in his eyes—
In a flash, a hand grabbed the back of his collar, lifted him up, and pulled him behind him as a shield, while the other hand twirled a large blade, deflecting all the darts!
He heard the woman in front of him whisper, "Tell them after you go out that they should wait for me ten miles south of the city outskirts at midnight tonight."
Before he could even react, he was thrown out of the battle!
"What are you all standing there for? Are you going to stay here and continue to embarrass yourselves? Get out of here!"
Chu Hongluan let out a sharp shout that resonated throughout the universe!
The ghost that Chu Hongluan threw out first had clearly done his homework before coming, and immediately shouted, "Everyone, follow me! There's a secret passage here that leads directly outside the mansion!"
The ghostly accomplices looked at each other, and dared not delay any longer. They fought and retreated, rolled up their weapons, and followed the man to escape.
The men in black all retreated, leaving only the "leader" surrounded. Mo Yu was the first to draw his sword and thrust at Chu Hongluan, but before he could move, Ke Tinghe slapped him squarely on the forehead! He staggered!
What do you want?!
At the same time, all four bodyguards put away their weapons and disappeared back into the shadows.
Mo Yu: ......
Can anyone tell him what exactly is going on here?!
But nobody wanted to talk to him.
Chu Hongluan and Ke Tinghe had already left, one after the other.
"Shouldn't we tell him the truth? Maybe he can be of some help."
"Come on, with all those injuries he's got, he's lucky he's not dead. What help can we expect from him?"
"...That seems to be true."
Mo Yu watched helplessly as the two walked further and further away, eventually meeting up with another man in black ahead, before swaggering out of his palace.
All that remained was a scene of charred blackness and desolation.
Unseen by anyone, in the shade of the tree, a small, snow-white cat sat quietly, staring at Chu Hongluan's retreating figure for a long, long time...
That evening, the appointed time for Chu Hongluan and the ghosts finally arrived. As the main character, she deliberately arrived half an incense stick late, and upon her arrival, the ghosts all bowed deeply to her.
"We pay our respects to Protector Yu!"
"No need for formalities."
With Chu Hongluan's permission, everyone gathered around. Some chattered about the latest intelligence they had obtained, while others expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Chu Hongluan for saving their lives the previous night.
"Protector Yu! I've found out where those people from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect are! You'd never guess, they actually..."
"If it weren't for Protector Yu's intervention last night, we would surely be dead or alive! We can never repay this life-saving grace! We can only offer our lives..."
Chu Hongluan was getting a headache from their noise: "Quiet down."
The noise gradually subsided, and all the demonic cultivators—no, all the demonic accomplices—obediently watched her, waiting for her to give orders.
