"Yihan, be careful!!! Someone hired them to kill you!!!" To Leng Yihan's surprise, Leng Bukai recognized them at a glance and knew their purpose for coming.
No… perhaps it really is obvious. Nearly twenty assassins, more than half of them are coming directly for me… who wouldn't see that they're here to kill me?!
"Are they all after me?!" Leng Yihan complained, her long sword appearing in her hand. She slashed horizontally, and sword energy appeared. The assassin who was in the lead seemed not to see the sword energy. He raised and slashed with his short knife, and the sword energy was blocked.
"Damn it!" Leng Yihan had originally thought that this would at least delay things a little, but it didn't delay them at all. She quickly ran towards the direction where Qing and Leng Bukai were.
"Leng Yihan, move to the left," Lu Youmei suddenly said.
"Okay." Leng Yihan unconditionally trusted Lu Youmei and suddenly turned. Although she didn't touch it, Leng Yihan still definitely felt the sharpness of the blade...
"Wait! I'm willing to die, but tell me why I should die!" Leng Yihan turned around, only to find herself surrounded by them, and hurriedly shouted.
The assassins didn't reply; instead, they charged forward in unison at the same instant.
"Tch... If you're not going to say anything... then don't blame me for using my ultimate move..." Leng Yihan clicked her tongue. The assassins were very fast, and their attack methods were all different, yet they had a tacit understanding with each other, forming a near-perfect encirclement formation.
If Leng Yihan were to think of breaking out unscathed under these circumstances, that would naturally be impossible.
However, Leng Yihan could accept minor damage.
"Add... Destruction!" In the next instant, a black light enveloped Leng Yihan's hand.
Although the assassins had some doubts, they still felt that Leng Yihan couldn't cause any trouble, so they swung all sorts of different weapons at Leng Yihan.
They all attacked together, and they were all melee fighters...
How could I possibly let such a great opportunity slip by!
"Destroy!"
As soon as Leng Yihan finished speaking, everything around him turned black and white in an instant.
At the same time, even Leng Bukai, Qing, and their enemies all stopped what they were doing and subconsciously looked around Leng Yihan, where the space gradually distorted and turned black.
Then, the distorted space was like a plastic bottle filled with water, twisted to the extreme.
In the next instant, it exploded.
Of the assassins who surrounded Leng Yihan, only one survived, and that survivor had been blasted away and was now unconscious in the distance.
Leng Yihan knelt down in the ruins she had created, her two exposed arms charred black, unlike the Leng Yihan's hands from before.
"Ouch...it really hurts..." Leng Yihan gasped for breath, her lips twitching, as she tried to remain calm.
After taking a deep breath, he calmly stood up and looked at the remaining six assassins who were fighting Qing and Leng Bukai.
"Do you want to try again? Although it's a bit of a stretch, I'm still confident I can unleash that move again, with a 100% chance of hitting you," Leng Yihan said with a smile, her tone dismissive.
Qing and Leng Bu did not make a move. Although their opponents were not as strong as themselves, their teamwork was too good. If they continued to fight, it would be difficult to determine the winner.
As for Xu Xiaoxiao and Leng Zhenmo... neither of them could intervene in the three-way battle. Leng Yihan's side hadn't even reacted before it was over, and they couldn't beat the other two sides either. They might just be dragging Qing down.
The six assassins retreated together, glanced at another assassin lying unconscious on the ground, and quickly darted away to take the unconscious assassin with them, intending to leave the area.
"……green."
"I will try my best to leave one person behind." Qing said, waving his hands, and countless branches rushed out of the forest and rushed towards the six people.
"Tie her up." Qing said in a low voice, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. Instantly, all the branches surrounded Qing's chosen target, binding her tightly.
Qing himself looked very serious, raising his hands high as if he were manipulating the branches, tightly binding the person he had grabbed, leaving only his head sticking out.
As for the others, they left without looking back after seeing their companion being captured, completely disregarding his life or death.
"What... exactly are these guys..."
320 Arrive at the Imperial City
“What exactly are these guys…” Leng Yihan watched the assassins disappear into the distance, but did not continue the pursuit. Her previously suppressed expression instantly turned into one of pain, and she knelt down again.
"Let me see your hands." Qing used tree branches to tie the assassin up tightly, then pulled him back and handed him over to Leng Bukai for interrogation, since he was much more professional in this area than Leng Yihan.
Qing then went to Leng Yihan's side to check on his condition.
"Hehe...it's alright...it's bearable..." Leng Yihan said defiantly, "It's just...a bit too painful..."
"It hurts, so what? Why be stubborn? Here, give me your hand." Qing's hand returned to his overly long sleeve, from which bamboo strips emerged and wrapped around Leng Yihan's two injured hands.
"...What is this energy?" Qing frowned as soon as she grasped Leng Yihan's hand with the green bamboo stick. "It's filled with death...is it...destruction? What exactly did you just do?"
"I just recklessly detonated destructive energy... I didn't expect the damage to be so severe. I originally thought that if I were the spellcaster, it wouldn't be this bad, but it turns out it's still the same." Leng Yihan said with a wry smile.
"...You're such an idiot. I only saved you this time because of my older sister. Next time, I'll just watch your arms become useless," Qing said coldly.
"Haha... I won't do it again next time... I definitely won't!" Leng Yihan said awkwardly.
Of course, we know that once the protagonist says this, he will definitely use this trick again in the future.
And Qing will definitely find it delicious, which is the familiar formula we're all familiar with.
"..." Qing lowered her head and murmured something, which Leng Yihan couldn't understand. She only felt that her arm, which had been gradually losing sensation, began to recover. Soon, the layer of black dead skin on Leng Yihan's hand peeled off, revealing new skin underneath.
"Qing's move... is not simple, it seems to be some kind of magic..." Lu Youmei said in a low voice.
"You recognized me again?"
"Hehe... Don't underestimate me." Lu Youmei smiled and said.
Leng Yihan's arm recovered in no time, which surprised her.
"What happened to the promise that magic isn't as powerful as the Heavenly Dao cultivation method?"
"I'm talking about combat... but magic is harder to learn, and non-combat magic is even harder. Since Qing knows one..." Lu Youmei said, then fell into deep thought, seemingly pondering something, and didn't respond no matter how Leng Yihan called her.
In the end, Leng Yihan simply stopped looking for Lu Youmei and began to consciously use Qing's energy to heal her injuries.
Ah... this energy feels so good...
Just as Leng Yihan was immersed in the pleasure brought by the energy healing her body, she didn't know how much time had passed before the energy transmission gradually weakened until it finally disappeared completely.
Just as Leng Yihan opened her eyes in confusion, Qing suddenly spoke.
"Alright, now you can continue circulating your energy normally." The bamboo stick that had been extended from the green sleeve was retracted, and as for Leng Yihan's arm... at least he didn't feel anything particularly strange or unusual, it seemed to have recovered.
"How is it? Is your arm alright?" At this moment, Leng Bukai walked up from a distance. Although he hadn't spoken, he had actually prepared a pill. However, seeing that Qing could heal, he didn't take out the pill but put it away and went to interrogate the hostage who had been captured.
Xu Xiaoxiao and Leng Zhenmo originally wanted to come closer, but they both saw Qingna's warning look and decided to guard the area again.
"Are you alright, Yihan?" Xu Xiaoxiao asked immediately after leaning closer. Leng Zhenmo was about to say something, but then shut her mouth and looked at Leng Bukai.
"Yes, I'm fine... By the way, Uncle Kai, did you find out anything?"
“Yes, it is indeed the Assassin Alliance… I don’t know why they’ve targeted you. Let’s hurry back to Yu City. Once we’re back at the Leng family’s residence, the Assassin Alliance won’t dare to attack you easily. You know, the Assassin Alliance has stated that there are certain forces that are absolutely not to be trifled with, and our Leng family is one of them.” Leng Bukai said, revealing a hint of pride.
"Then let's go back quickly..." Leng Yihan nodded, feeling tired for some reason.
However, he quickly came to terms with it, after all, he had experienced quite a lot all at once... especially that destructive release just now, he still didn't know why he hadn't collapsed.
But Lu Youmei was different. She was quietly watching the red corner that had lit up in the soul space. The inscription on it, Lu Youmei remembered, was that strange fire inscription.
"...What exactly is the purpose of this inscription...?"
-
After a long and arduous journey, the group finally reached the gates of the Imperial Castle on foot, which was no easy feat.
The group did not plan to return to the Leng family immediately, but instead rested at an inn at the foot of the mountain where the Leng family was located.
Leng Yihan became increasingly curious about the size of this border region. Just how big was it? This city was so vast that Leng Yihan couldn't see the end of the city walls or the city itself.
The three rooms were just enough for five people. Leng Bukai had a room by himself, Leng Yihan still shared a room with Qing, and Leng Zhenmo shared a room with Xu Xiaoxiao.
After the rooms were assigned, everyone was exhausted, perhaps because of the long day. Even Qing and Leng Bukai, who had been running for so long, would eventually break down. However, they were in better condition than Leng Yihan and the others.
After taking a quick shower and changing into her pajamas, Leng Yihan lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
-
"The moon is so round tonight~ The starry sky is so bright~ I haven't seen such a beautiful sky in a long time~" Leng Yiyi sat on the roof, looking up at the clearly visible moon and starry sky, and exclaimed.
"Miss...it's time to sleep, or Master will scold you again..." Under the eaves, a maid called out to Leng Yiyi, urging her to come down and go to sleep.
"Okay, okay~ don't rush~" Leng Yiyi nodded, "I want to sleep in tomorrow, so don't wake me up! Remember, absolutely do not wake me up!"
"Understood, Miss~ Please don't forget what the master said!"
"Okay... I'll head back tomorrow and bring my precious son to see him, okay?" Leng Yiyi said helplessly. She had told her father everything that had happened over the years. She had thought she might get a scolding from her father, but to her surprise, he didn't say anything. He just remarked that his daughter had grown up and asked her to bring Leng Yihan to see him.
Leng Yiyi naturally agreed. She never expected that her usually rigid and serious father would become so understanding... Although she was puzzled, she didn't think that her father becoming like this would do her any harm, so she didn't pursue the matter further.
"Xiao Han... You'll be meeting your grandfather in a few days... I wonder what you'll think then..." Leng Yiyi couldn't help but chuckle as she thought of her son, a happy smile appearing on her face.
Was it shock? Shock that your family background was so great? Shock that your maternal grandfather was one of the world's top experts?
However, if Leng Yiyi knew that her precious son was right at the foot of the mountain where the Leng family lived, her expression would probably be even more interesting than Leng Yihan's...
321 It's not that easy.
"Good morning!"
“…Good morning…” Leng Yihan looked speechlessly at Qing riding on her back.
"Huh? Where's my sister! Qing hasn't seen her in so long, I miss her so much!" Qing blinked her big, bright eyes and said excitedly.
"Calm down, calm down, don't lose your composure..." Leng Yihan hurriedly said, but then suddenly lost control of her body.
"Qing~ It's been so long since I hugged you, I miss it so much!" said Lu Youmei.
Fine, fine... whatever makes you happy...
Leng Yihan thought to herself speechlessly, although she could regain control of her body... she didn't want to do that in the current situation.
After spending some time being intimate with Qing in the morning, Lu Youmei finally let go, allowing Leng Yihan to finally act on her own.
"Honestly... at least consider Lin Yin, okay!"
"Don't worry! I've been suppressing it very steadily, otherwise I wouldn't dare to take over your body." Lu Youmei said, "Oh, by the way, we might find a way to cure Lin Yin's poison here. You can show them the venom sample. You should have collected some with you, right?"
"Yes, yes, I made sure to bring it with me before I left." Leng Yihan said, opening her spatial ring again, finding the venom sample, and then exiting with peace of mind.
"So, it's time to get ready to set off. Are you nervous?"
"Then let me ask you a question: why am I nervous?"
