Capítulo 1691: Chapter 1692: Avoidance
The sound of a fierce clash of swords resounded in the air as Xue Chu’s long sword blocked the man’s broadsword. The man missed his first strike and swung his weapon viciously a second time towards Su Yunjin behind Xue Chu.
Su Yunjin, still in shock, turned pale at the sight of the man swinging at her again. Xue Chu blocked the incoming broadsword once more, “Madam, get behind me, don’t come closer.” Fearing Su Yunjin might get hurt, Xue Chu didn’t dare relax for a moment, fully focused on dealing with the man in front of him.
The other five men arranged by Gu Ya to protect Su Yunjin, upon seeing this, also drew their swords and stepped up to assist Xue Chu. Su Yunjin hid in the back, and as she regained her composure, she fearfully watched the masked, tall, and strong man who was delivering one lethal move after another. Su Yunjin had never seen this man before.
Who on earth was this person? Why was he attacking her with killing moves? Could he have been sent by the Prince of Chu? Other than the Prince of Chu, Su Yunjin couldn’t think of anyone who would send someone to deal with her. However, if it were the Prince of Chu, he wouldn’t necessarily be so intent on killing her. Watching the man fiercely swing his blade at Xue Chu and the others, Su Yunjin quickly dismissed her suspicion. This person couldn’t be from the Prince of Chu; the Prince wouldn’t go as far as to take her life.
Though the sword-wielding man’s martial skills were not weak, he was but one person, and Xue Chu and his group totaled six. Six against one, the sword-wielding man was soon clearly at a disadvantage.
Standing at a distance, Su Yunjin knew Xue Chu and his team were going to win, and she thoroughly relaxed. Xue Chu, wary of complications arising from further entanglement with the sword-wielding man and intent on ensuring Su Yunjin’s safety, decided not to prolong the fight and aimed to quickly resolve the situation by taking down their opponent.
Xue Chu launched a sudden attack, just about to take down the sword-wielding man, when out of nowhere, dozens of well-trained individuals appeared. Each carrying a sword, they were all dressed in black and swiftly surrounded Su Yunjin. The leader cast a cold, predatory gaze upon Su Yunjin.
“Get her.” The man commanded, and the group simultaneously lunged at Su Yunjin with their swords. The sudden turn of events left Su Yunjin in a daze. She wanted to dodge but found herself surrounded with no room to retreat. Dozens of blades gleamed menacingly as they aimed at Su Yunjin, the sword’s cold, sharp gleams threatening. Instinctively, Su Yunjin used her hands to shield her eyes, her mind racing with thoughts of Little Yuanbao, Little Tiangua, and Gu Ya. For the first time, Su Yunjin felt true despair.
Was she really going to die today under the swords of these unknown attackers? Su Yunjin closed her eyes, but the anticipated pain did not come. Instead, she felt herself fall into a warm embrace. Instinctively opening her eyes, she saw a familiar and handsome face appear before her.
“The Prince of Chu?” Su Yunjin looked in astonishment at the man who saved her, unable to fathom how the Prince of Chu had suddenly appeared to rescue her. The attacks missed, and the assailants swiftly turned their attention towards them. The Prince of Chu glanced at Su Yunjin but had no time to answer her question, busily facing the attackers.
Still in a daze, Su Yunjin remained in the Prince of Chu’s embrace. With one swing of his sword, the Prince cut down three attackers, then swept them aside with a kick. As they dodged, the Prince of Chu took the opportunity to land safely on the ground with Su Yunjin.
Xue Chu quickly rushed to Su Yunjin’s side, his face pale with fright, “Madam, are you alright? Are you hurt?” Fınd the newest release on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥
