"Is it really that powerful?"
"Isn't Young Master Su Mu in danger then!" Little Huan's face changed dramatically, her heart burning with anxiety as she watched Su Mu.
"Miss, what should we do now?" The feeling of being helpless and unable to do anything was driving Little Huan mad.
Huang Yiyun remained silent, her eyes filled with determination. She refused to be powerless, to be unable to help; she was ready to do something at any cost!
"Hmph!"
Hearing a muffled grunt, Little Huan turned her head sharply, only to see Huang Yiyun's recently recovered complexion turn pale again, with bright red blood trickling from the corner of her mouth!
"Miss!" Little Huan exclaimed, rushing to support Huang Yiyun, only to retract her hand quickly from the scorching touch.
"Miss, what's happened to you?" Little Huan's face turned pale. Could it be another bout of demonic possession?
"It's nothing, just hide here carefully and don't get discovered." Huang Yiyun gritted her teeth and spoke with difficulty. If they were found, they would truly become a burden to Su Mu.
Little Huan nodded blankly, completely unaware of Huang Yiyun's current condition. It didn't seem like demonic possession, but the situation didn't look optimistic either.
"Taking forbidden medicine?"
After killing another steward, with only half remaining, Su Mu turned to look at the actions of the three elders, his brows furrowing. Taking forbidden medicine could increase one's strength by at least thirty percent, and at most fifty percent. This was not good news for him.
"What are you all standing around for!"
After taking the forbidden medicine, the Fourth Elder bellowed, his face turning a purplish hue, his aura unstable and eerily strange.
As his words fell, the six stewards hesitated but, after glancing at the corpses of their fellow stewards, they made up their minds, each taking out a pill and swallowing it!
"You're really willing to pay the price, even sacrificing your own lives. I don't know whether to call you loyal to that old dog or just plain stupid?" Su Mu swung his sword, speaking coldly.
Stupid? A cold light flashed in the Fourth Elder's eyes. How dare he be so arrogant at this time!
"You'll find out soon enough!"
"Clear Wind Howl!"
The Fourth Elder roared from his throat, this time aiming for a deadly strike at Su Mu!
"Block their escape!" To prevent any accidents, he ordered the others not to act rashly. If he couldn't kill Su Mu with one strike, then they would strike with the force of thunder!
The long flute sound began, and the Fourth Elder transformed into a green shadow, charging at Su Mu with the speed of lightning. This time, Su Mu had nowhere to hide, no way to avoid!
"Lawless Sword Trick!"
Su Mu's face was grave as he gathered all his strength and struck with his sword!
"Clang!"
"Bang!"
The harsh sound of collision rang out, and Su Mu's body flew backward like a cannonball, finally stopping when he hit a tree!
"Finish him!" The Fourth Elder, looking weakened but with a cruel smile, commanded.
The remaining two elders and the six stewards all had victorious smiles on their faces as they charged towards Su Mu!
"It's over, it's all over." Little Huan saw the situation, her vision darkening as she nearly fainted in despair.
Huang Yiyun's body trembled, wanting to rush out several times but her rationality stopped her.
"It's not enough, not yet. Su Mu, you must hold on!" She shouted in her heart. Rushing out now would be suicide, but if Su Mu could hold on a little longer, she could help!
"I can't wait any longer!" Seeing the two Grand Elders and six stewards already upon Su Mu, Huang Yiyun's eyes turned blood red, as if flames were bursting forth. She charged out from the underbrush; if she waited any longer, Su Mu would be doomed.
"Stop!"
With a delicate shout, she drew her sword, which immediately became searing hot, like a sword of fire!
Huang Yiyun's cry startled the Fourth Elder and his group, causing them to turn around in unison.
"There's someone else!"
"Who is it!"
When they focused and saw a young girl about sixteen or seventeen years old charging at them, they were all taken aback, then exclaimed in recognition.
"Huang Yiyun!"
"How is she here?"
Although they had rarely seen Huang Yiyun, their impression of her was deep. Both Huang Yiyun and Huang Junrou were considered heavenly beauties, with top-notch looks and figures, hard to forget.
After a moment of astonishment, the Fourth Elder frowned at Huang Yiyun, noticing her skin was flushed red, her body radiating intense heat, even her sword glowing red.
"Fourth Elder, be careful!" A steward cried out. The Fourth Elder snapped back to reality, scoffing disdainfully. Just a little girl, how strong could she be? Besides, given Huang Yiyun's playful nature, she couldn't possibly threaten him.
"Huang Yiyun, you've arrived just in time. Your sister might not be within the Young Master's grasp, but you'd make a suitable concubine for him!" The Fourth Elder swung his sword with a sinister smile.
"In your dreams!"
"Clang!"
Huang Yiyun shouted, her sword fiercely striking at the Fourth Elder. The collision of their swords was like a hammer striking hot iron, sparks flying everywhere!
Seeing Huang Yiyun up close, the Fourth Elder's face changed dramatically, his old face twitching with a hint of pain.
"How can she have such strength?"
Although not as terrifying as Su Mu, she was enough to shake him.
"Huang Yiyun, the Young Master will definitely like you. I misspoke earlier; you are worthy to be the Young Master's wife!" The Fourth Elder sneered. Huang Yiyun's strength impressed him, especially considering her young age. Her future achievements would surely not be inferior to her sister, Huang Junrou!
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "p𝑎wread.com".
"Pah!" Huang Yiyun spat at the Fourth Elder and attacked again.
"Clang, clang, clang…"
The Fourth Elder parried her continuous attacks with ease, growing more delighted as the battle went on. Today, not only could he kill Su Mu, but he could also bring a beautiful genius back for the Young Master. The Family Head and the Young Master would surely reward him handsomely, perhaps even finding a way to remove the consequences of his forbidden medicine use!
"Old Thing!"
Huang Yiyun knew she wasn't strong enough, and engaging in combat could only buy Su Mu time. But this old thing had insulted her several times, and she was determined to make him pay, even if it cost her life!
"Whoosh!"
Seizing an opening, she took the chance to stab fiercely at the Fourth Elder's heart. However, the Fourth Elder was quick to dodge.
Unable to kill the Fourth Elder, Huang Yiyun made a split-second decision and turned her sword towards his thigh!
"Sizzle!"
There was no sound of penetration, only the noise of intense fire searing flesh, accompanied by a plume of black smoke.
The Fourth Elder recoiled in pain, looking down to see a severe burn on his thigh.
"Bitch!" The pain of the burn was more intense than a stab, and the Fourth Elder exploded with rage, slashing his sword viciously at Huang Yiyun!
"Clang!"
"Spurt!"
The Fourth Elder's furious strike was too much for Huang Yiyun to withstand. She was sent flying, blood spraying from her wounds.
"Yiyun!"
Su Mu had just wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth when he saw Huang Yiyun being struck down while trying to help him. His rage soared to the heavens!
"Old Thing, you dare to hurt Yiyun, I'll take your life!"
He couldn't protect Junrou, but could he not even protect Yiyun?
