Chapter 523 The Devil Reappears
In the main hall of Yong'an, Huo Gannian drew his sword to kill, but Zhuang Ji, with an unyielding demeanor, refused to evade, explain, or resist. Others were busy interceding and pleading for mercy.
The whole hall was in chaos.
Everyone was arguing loudly when they heard a cry of pain from the injured Fu Lin from the side hall, followed by the sound of a fight with tables and chairs overturned.
This caused all sounds in the main hall to stop abruptly. Everyone looked towards the side hall, but before they could react, they heard a loud "boom".
The door of the side hall was violently slammed open, and Fu Lin rushed out of the hall, covering his bleeding wound that was half an inch away from death.
Behind him, a figure as agile as a cheetah was chasing closely, flying out from the side hall, climbing walls and running on eaves with excellent lightness skills, passing over the heads of everyone, jumping onto the back of the bloody dragon throne, and squatting down lightly.
Yun Chen held the knife in his backhand, his posture alert, his injured foot slightly suspended in the air, and he looked ferocious, as if he was ready to attack at any time.
But what shocked everyone the most was not her behavior, but the particularly outrageous and weird smile on her face, revealing a mouthful of sharp white teeth, which matched the cold and fierce light in her eyes and looked extremely creepy.
She looked around the hall with a strange and vigilant look, laughed sinisterly, and licked the blood on the dagger with the tip of her small tongue, revealing an expression of great satisfaction and enjoyment.
This scene made everyone in the hall gasp at the same time:
What happened to Yun Chen? Was he possessed by some demonic spirit? Why did he suddenly become so scary?!
Huo Gannian was also confused. He took a tentative step forward and called out, "Chen'er?"
Yun Chen sneered and was about to respond, and judging from his lip movements, it seemed like he was about to swear. At this moment, Zhuang Fengtian, who was standing by, saw that Fu Lin was seriously injured, and hurried to support him. As he took a step, the sword on his waist jingled, which immediately caught Yun Chen's attention.
Before Huo Gannian could open his mouth to give an order, Yun Chen had already set his sights on the only weakest breakthrough point in the entire hall behind Zhuang Fengtian.
Zhuang Ji, who doesn't know martial arts.
She swung her knife fiercely and flew towards Zhuang Ji, frightening her so much that she retreated repeatedly.
In order to protect his sister, Zhuang Fengtian quickly used his knife to block, but he never expected that Yun Chen was so strong. The blade turned coldly in mid-air and stabbed directly into his solar plexus.
Zhuang Fengtian tried his best to dodge, but a piece of his scalp was still cut off and he fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, others rushed over to help. Rong Jiang tried to attack from the side, but was stabbed in the stomach by Yun Chen.
Rong Yi rushed over as quickly as possible to rescue Rong Jiang, but was horrified to find that Yun Chen's blade had already turned sideways. If he was a step later, she would have ripped Rong Jiang open.
Rong Yi was so frightened that he was numb. Facing Yun Chen's repeated stabbings with daggers, he only knew to raise his arms to receive the stabs and even forgot to use the knife to block them.
In the end, if Duan Jie hadn't gone up and held Yun Chen back, Rong Yi's two arms would have been almost broken!
Rong Yi held his bleeding arm and fell to the ground, crying out:
"Boss! What's wrong with you?! Boss! Are you sleepwalking again? Wake up!"
Unfortunately, Yun Chen ignored him and knocked Duan Jie to the ground with two moves, then attacked Zhuang Ji again.
Just when Yun Chen's blade was only an inch away from Zhuang Ji's neck, a long sword suddenly came through the wind, and the sword tip diagonally deflected Yun Chen's dagger and protected Zhuang Ji in front of her.
Seeing that the person who came to rescue her with a sword was Huo Gannian, Zhuang Ji was overjoyed. Just as she was about to cry out "A Nian" in a sad and aggrieved tone, she saw Huo Gannian resisting Yun Chen's crazy and torrential attack with an expressionless face. He tilted his head slightly and coldly interrupted all of Zhuang Ji's fantasies:
"You must not die at Chen'er's hands."
Zhuang Ji was stunned at first, then immediately understood what Huo Gannian meant:
She, Zhuang Ji, could die at the hands of anyone, but not at the hands of Yun Chen.
Because once she died, the entire Zhuangguo family would inevitably turn against her and would not stop until revenge was taken.
Huo Gannian didn't want Yun Chen to make enemies and be forced to face a powerful and difficult opponent like Duke Zhuang.
So, even at such a critical moment, it was still her life that was at stake! But Huo Gannian's eyes were still full of Yun Chen.
Her life, Zhuang Ji, is not even as important as "making enemies and causing trouble for Yun Chen"...
Looking at the tall figure standing in front of her, swinging his sword with all his might, the man she had loved all her life, Zhuang Ji suddenly felt extremely sad.
It had clearly taken eighteen years to get close enough.
He was so close that she could hug him with just a stretch of her hand, but she couldn't feel any warmth or love at all.
There was only Yun Chen in Huo Gannian's eyes from beginning to end.
He used all the sword skills he had learned throughout his life, only blocking and not fighting back, cleverly avoiding Yun Chen's fatal attacks time and time again, wanting to hit her on the back of the neck to make her faint.
Yun Chen quickly realized Huo Gannian's intention, and felt that this man had superb martial arts skills and would be difficult to defeat in a short time.
She didn't dare to fight any longer, so she simply stopped and quickly fled out of the hall.
Huo Gannian immediately flew after them, wanting to call for help, but he saw Duan Jie, Fu Lin, Rong Yi, Rong Jiang, Zhuang Fengtian... all lying on the ground covered in blood in the hall.
He had no choice but to urgently call on the Tianwei Army outside the palace to launch an encirclement.
The soldiers of the Tianwei Army had no idea what was happening in the hall. When they saw Yun Chen, they were so happy that they rushed forward with their mouths wide open, but were scared back by Yun Chen's sword strikes.
The soldiers screamed and dodged, subconsciously forming an encirclement and trapping Yun Chen inside.
She was like a cornered and enraged beast, her eyes constantly searching for weaknesses in the crowd that could be exploited, launching attacks repeatedly to try to break through, and wherever her dagger touched, there were wailings.
Seeing that there were human walls everywhere to block her way and she couldn't escape for the time being, she simply gave up running. However, her strong desire for killing and bloodthirst had nowhere to be released, prompting her to grab the nearest soldier.
She held the man in her arms, intending to cut his neck with a dagger and drink his blood to her heart's content. However, she saw that the dagger had been used for a while and was now full of holes and twisted like a twist, without even the sharp edge.
She had no choice but to throw away the dagger angrily, tilt the soldier's head, and bite his neck hard.
It’s a pity that it was his first time biting someone’s neck, so his movements were unfamiliar and unskilled.
She sucked and sucked, but she didn't find the right spot for several times. Instead, it looked like she was chewing and hugging...
It's like flirting.
The crowd around was all stunned. The soldier blushed with shame and dodged desperately while shouting:
"Boss, boss! Stop it, stop it, there are so many people here, I feel embarrassed... Ouch, ouch, ouch? It hurts! Boss, what are you doing? Why are you biting me?"
Yun Chen was annoyed by the soldier's chattering. He locked the soldier's throat with his tiger's mouth and was about to "crack" him to death, but he intuitively felt a strong wind hitting his back.
She immediately left the soldier behind, dodged as nimbly as a monkey, leaped onto the roof of the hall, and squatted down on the eaves of the corner of the hall.
If it weren't for the injury on one of her feet that prevented her from using her lightness skills to their full potential, she would have escaped long ago.
She narrowed her eyes and looked displeasedly at the thing on the ground that had just attacked her back.
It is a harmless Nanzhu sword tassel.
