Chapter 160 I'll avenge you!

Lin Xin paused briefly, then charged into the crowd again, this time going all out. She unleashed all her wood-type abilities, causing the weeds on the ground to grow wildly. People would trip over them from time to time, greatly facilitating her attacks, and many more people lost their lives at her hands.

Chu Yu, sitting in the carriage, was completely numb. He knew Lin Xin was highly skilled in martial arts, having witnessed her fighting several times before, but he never expected her to be so incredibly powerful when she unleashed her full aura.

As he watched that graceful figure weave through the crowd, reaping lives, he didn't feel any bloodshed or cruelty. Instead, he felt a sense of absurdity, as if it were the way things should be.

Suddenly, a flash of silver light followed by a dark shadow caught him off guard. He tried to parry with his sword, but it was too late. Seeing the sword about to pierce through his body, Chu Yu closed his eyes in despair.

With a whooshing sound, before Chu Yu could feel the expected pain, Lin Xin's angry voice rang in his ears: "I told you to guard the carriage, what are you doing?"

Chu Yu suddenly opened his eyes. Even the tip of the sword that had attacked him earlier was less than three inches away from his brow. Looking down, he met the incredulous gaze of the heavily armed man in black, and saw the tree branch that had pierced through his back and out his chest...
Branches?

Chu Yu had lived for over twenty years, and for the first time, he wondered if his eyesight was failing.

"What are you daydreaming about!" Lin Xin's voice rose a octave, snapping Chu Yu out of his reverie. He quickly composed himself, gripped his longsword, and dealt with a black-clad man who had come to the carriage to ambush him because of his momentary daze. Only then did he focus intently on guarding outside the carriage.

"Hiss~" Lin Xin's opponent was already difficult to deal with, and with some of her attention diverted, she was finally given an opportunity by a royal guard who stabbed her in the abdomen with a sword. The sharp pain made her groan involuntarily. She cursed Chu Yu in her heart. If he hadn't been distracted at the last minute, she wouldn't be in this situation!

Having landed a successful blow, the man in black continued to stab her with his sword without hesitation, employing a fighting style that was almost suicidal.

Lin Xin frowned as she clutched her wound, using her remaining wood-type ability to barely heal half of it. Her gaze turned icy cold.

This time, she used her water-based powers to lock onto the black-clad man who was still attacking her. Her sword-wielding hand twitched slightly, and the man who was about to stab her again suddenly stopped, his face contorted in extreme pain, and he collapsed to the ground. He then lost all his moisture at a visible speed and turned into a charred corpse!
His condition was so terrifying that the fighting around him stopped. Several royal guards not far away exchanged glances and made the same decision: this woman could not be allowed to live!

Although they had tried to overestimate Lin Xin's strength, it now seemed they were being conservative. If they allowed this woman to continue living, it could have incalculable and serious consequences for the Third Prince's grand plan!
The tacit understanding they had developed over the years led them to attack Lin Xin almost simultaneously, and their moves were so ruthless that they were clearly aiming to kill her, without caring at all whether they would be injured or even lose their lives.

Lin Xin naturally noticed the difference between them and felt a bit uneasy. She even started to consider whether to expose her space.

Just as she was being wounded three more times and a sword was about to pierce her chest, a silver arrow flew from behind her, piercing the chest of the man in black opposite her. Its momentum was undiminished as it passed through him and then pierced the chest of the man in black behind him. It continued to pierce through three men in black before finally embedding itself in the fourth.

At the same time, Mo Ziyuan appeared beside Lin Xin on horseback like a god descending to earth. He leaned forward, gently scooped her up by the waist, and placed her on his horse's back. "Take Miss Lin to the carriage first, leave this to us!" Gao Yong, who was following behind him, roared and charged into the crowd of men in black. His spear moved like a dragon, and he wiped out another wave of men in black who had already been nearly wiped out by Lin Xin. Fu Jing and Zhou Qi also followed behind him and charged into the crowd.

Their arrival completely changed the course of the battle. In the end, except for a few royal guards, all the men in black lay lifeless on the ground.

All the royal guards stood back to back in a circle, their swords held horizontally in front of their chests, already knowing in their hearts that not only had they failed in this mission, but they would probably lose their lives as well.

Meanwhile, Mo Ziyuan had already escorted Lin Xin back to the carriage. Seeing her covered in blood, his heart ached as if it were being torn apart.

"Sister!" Upon seeing Lin Xin's appearance, Lin Nan's eyes widened suddenly, and tears welled up in her eyes as she rushed over.

"Auntie!" Lin Tao followed closely behind.

"She's injured, none of you should touch her!" Mo Ziyuan carefully placed Lin Xin into the carriage, then sternly asked Lin Nan, "You've been learning from Elder Cui for a while now, you should be able to bandage wounds, right?"

Lin Nan nodded emphatically: "I can do it!"

"Alright, I'm fine. This injury looks serious, and there's been a lot of bleeding, but it's not that bad. I can bandage it myself!" When Lin Xin saw Mo Ziyuan arrive, a huge weight was lifted from her heart. Exhaustion and pain followed, relentlessly tormenting her nerves. But seeing the distressed looks in the eyes of the three men—one big and two small—she had no choice but to force herself to cheer up and comfort them.

"Xin'er!" Mo Ziyuan's eyes were almost spitting fire, but seeing Lin Xin's determined look, he nodded. "I will go and avenge you right now. I will not let a single one of you go."

"Okay, it's best not to let them get away, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have a peaceful life anymore!" Lin Xin leaned against the carriage with a pale face, trying to sound playful.

Without a word, Mo Ziyuan turned and walked away, sword in hand, exuding murderous intent.

Although he didn't speak, everyone could feel the oppressive atmosphere emanating from him, especially the royal guards, who could even sense his unparalleled killing intent towards them!
"Kill!" Since it was already a fight to the death, the royal guards had no more hope and charged towards them from several directions after shouting.

They planned to break out separately, making sure that at least one person could escape and let the Third Prince know what had happened.

But they seriously injured Lin Xin, so this plan was destined to fail.
