Longevity, starting from traveling and telling stories

Chapter 39 Blood-Splattered Peach Blossom Fan
On the winding ancient road.

The wheels creaked as they rolled over the ground. There was silence all around, with only the rhythmic tapping of horse hooves on the dirt road.

Suddenly, the surroundings were illuminated by countless torches. A group of people appeared in the light, their swords gleaming coldly, becoming even more ferocious and intimidating in the light.

"Your Highness, please get out of the car." Suddenly, the crowd parted in an orderly manner like cloth cut by scissors, and a man in gorgeous clothes slowly walked towards them. It was Hou Fangting.

Inside the carriage, the curtain slowly opened and a graceful figure walked out. Although she was wearing a veil, her stunning beauty could not be concealed.

Hou Fangting's pupils shrank when he saw this. It was actually her? Then his eyes flashed with ecstasy. It was truly a case of searching high and low for someone.

She lifted her veil, her face frosty, and angrily rebuked Hou Fangting with cold eyes, saying, "Hou Fangting, it turns out there's something wrong with you. You hypocrite, you actually took refuge with others."

Hou Fangting's face showed shock, and his heart was filled with sorrow. She had actually stopped trusting me a long time ago.

Immediately, anger surged in his heart, and he sneered: "So, you no longer trust me. Why? Why?"

Then, he roared with a maniacal laugh, "Let me tell you, my original target wasn't the Princess, but you, Li Xianglian!"

Hou Fangting's eyes were filled with greed and madness, and he said seductively: "Today, as long as you agree to marry me, I will definitely protect you from death! Otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by an angry rebuke. Li Xianglian, with a look of disgust on her face, said, "Shameless wretch, daydreaming!"

She shouted to the sky, "Please help me!"

Swish swish!
Several figures appeared one after another, and all the masters hiding in the dark appeared.

For a moment, the masters of both sides immediately started a fierce fight.

Swords flashed and blood splattered on the ground, forming a river.

Hou Fangting had a fierce look on his face, and suddenly he rushed towards Li Xianglian like a ghost, repelling several masters in succession on the way. He felt even more proud in his heart. If he could catch her, he would not be afraid that she would not surrender, even if he got her.

Li Xianglian was shocked that Hou Fangting's martial arts skills were so powerful.

Just when Hou Fangting's eagle claws were about to catch Li Xianglian, she dodged by lightly turning sideways.

Hou Fangting was also shocked and stood there in a daze. He didn't expect her martial arts skills to be so powerful. He had miscalculated.

Just when the masters of both sides were fighting to a standstill, suddenly a man with black energy all over his body slowly and silently descended to the scene. His powerful aura immediately shocked the masters on the scene to stop fighting and look at him in fear.

He looked at the scene coldly, with a stern expression, as if he was looking at a group of ants.

He just waved his hand casually, and a powerful airflow burst out like a tidal wave, sweeping away in an instant without distinguishing between friend and foe. Many masters were blown away in an instant before they could react, and their life or death was unknown.

The survivors in the field all looked at him in horror and fell into deathly silence.

Li Xianglian was swept by the powerful palm wind of the mysterious man, and the whole person flew out like a kite with a broken string, spurting blood from her mouth, and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, Hou Fangting immediately ran up to the man emitting black energy and said in a flattering tone, "Master, we've been tricked. That woman isn't here. We've been tricked. She must have followed that storyteller and escaped through the small path in disguise."

"Waste!" The man was furious when he heard this. He slapped Hou Fangting in the face, causing his cheek to swell up. If he had not been of some use, he would have killed him at this moment.

After saying that, he quickly left in another direction and disappeared in the blink of an eye. He was anxious in his heart. If he was too late and delayed the Lord Demon's business, he would definitely die without a burial place.

After the man left, Hou Fangting's eyes became extremely gloomy, and his swollen cheeks looked extremely funny.

He turned and walked over to Li Xianglian, trying to persuade her again, "Xianglian, as long as you marry me, I will treat you well and keep you safe. Given the current situation, if you don't follow me, you'll end up dead."

Li Xianglian spat out blood and struggled to stand up, saying bitterly, "Don't even think about it! Even if I die, what's there to fear?" "Hahahahahahaha." Seeing this, Hou Fangting immediately burst into crazy laughter, his face distorted as he said, "I know you like Ye Beixuan, but so what? I just ordered others to set up a net, not to mention that there is an immortal master who wants to kill him. How can a mortal compare to an immortal? He will definitely die!"

His crazy laughter spread throughout the whole place, and the echo lingered for a long time.

Li Xianglian's face changed drastically when she heard this.

call out!
He took advantage of Li Xianglian's confused mood and attacked her without hesitation despite being seriously injured.

Li Xianglian tried her best to fight back, but she was already seriously injured and every attack seemed powerless.

Seeing this, Hou Fangting attacked with moves as swift as the wind and as heavy as rain, feeling even more proud. He thought, "I have succeeded, and I will succeed soon. You are mine."

After a fight, the seriously injured Li Xianglian was shaking and her steps were staggering and unstable.

With a slight "click" sound, the peach blossom fan in her arms fell, and the fan naturally scattered in the air. The peach blossoms on the fan were lifelike, as if they had suddenly bloomed in the air.

"Peach Blossom Fan?" Hou Fangting suddenly stopped attacking and looked at the fans scattered on the ground in a daze.

Seeing this, Li Xianglian struggled to pick up the fan. Hou Fangting scoffed and said, "So you already knew he made this fan!"

"But so what?"

Li Xianglian lowered her head, her body staggering and shaking, her consciousness gradually becoming blurred like a light about to go out, blood flowed down her cheeks, and the long hair on her forehead was also sticky with blood.

Her legs were struggling to move, but she still dragged her steps forward stubbornly, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

Her eyes were fixed on the fan not far away. The hope in her eyes was blurred by the blood, but still burning.

"You want a fan?" Seeing this, Hou Fangting kicked the Peach Blossom Fan away, and said with a playful look, "Don't even think about it."

Li Xianglian showed a look of despair, a sharp dagger appeared in her hand, and she used the last bit of her strength to stab it into her chest.

Sir, Xianglian may find it difficult to express her feelings to you again. But Xianglian has never let down this Peach Blossom Fan, and Xianglian can also stick to it like Xiangjun...

"Xianglian." Hou Fangting wanted to stop her when he saw this, but Li Xianglian pulled out the dagger again.

Puff. A stream of hot blood sprayed into the air, and the blood, carrying the residual heat of the body, spread onto the peach blossom fan. The fan surface suddenly emitted stars, making the peach blossoms even more gorgeous and tempting.

"Why, why, why?" Hou Fangting asked madly, "Why would you rather die than be with me?"

She turned a deaf ear to him and her consciousness had completely disappeared, but her body still mechanically crawled to the fan, reached out and held it tightly.

"Master Li Hou Fangting, you beast." A roar interrupted Hou Fangting's thoughts, and the people from the Liang and Zhu families finally arrived.

They received a notice from Li Xianglian saying that Hou Fangting might rebel, so they rushed to rescue him, but were obstructed on the way and were still one step too late.

The two sides immediately started fighting.

"Young Master, let's retreat quickly!" Ah Fu pulled Hou Fangting, who was standing there like a puppet, and quickly evacuated to the rear.

He was completely stunned, his steps staggering as he was pushed. He kept looking back at Li Xianglian lying in a pool of blood, and kept muttering: "Xianglian, Xianglian"

Soon, Hou Fangting and others retreated from the scene, and the Liang and Zhu families chased after them, vowing to kill him to avenge Li Xianglian.

As the dark environment returned to silence, the peach blossom fan suddenly emitted a blazing light and then went out, leaving Li Xianglian lying alone in a pool of blood.
