Ghost Hand, Heavenly Doctor 08: Betting with Life!

  "Mom, is this bad guy's little chicken bigger than Fengfeng's?"

  The little boy, who was being held upside down by Mu Chenfeng, blinked his eyes and looked at a certain part of himself, then curiously looked at Mu Chenfeng, who was holding him, still unaware that he had said something wrong, and stretched out his small hand to lift Mu Chenfeng's clothes, instantly making Mu Chenfeng's icy aura even more terrifying.

  "Haha... Oh my god, I'm dying from laughter..."

  Tang Xin couldn't help but burst out laughing, looking at Mu Chenfeng's handsome face that was dark and cold, emitting an icy aura. She tried to stop her laughter, but the smile on her lips just couldn't be contained, pouring out in a series of silvery, crisp and pleasant sounds that echoed through the forest. Unfortunately, a certain someone looked like he wanted to kill her.

  "Huh? Why is Mother smiling?" The little demon, who was being held upside down by Tang Xin, didn't sense the danger that was about to befall him and continued to blink his big, beautiful eyes as he stared at Tang Xin.

  "Brush!"

  Suddenly, the sound of a sword being unsheathed rang out, and Tang Xin's eyes widened in shock: "Mu Chenfeng, what do you want to do? He's just a child, don't scare him."

  "Wow! A sword, a cool sword!" A little kid's eyes lit up and he waved his small hands to grab the sword, scaring Tong Xin who hastily stopped him.

  "Phoenix, don't move! It's going to hurt."

  "What's wrong?" He turned back, looking at Tang Xin with a puzzled expression on his face.

  Mo Chenfeng glanced at Tang Xin with a cold and bloodthirsty gaze: "Hmph! Am I afraid of him?" The sword in his hand was raised, causing Tang Xin to tremble with fear: "Mo Chenfeng, what are you doing?!"

  "It's cut!"

  "Cut off?"

  Tang Xin's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Fengfeng's small chicken, which was only the size of a thumb. Alright! It really wasn't like this to strike a person, especially since it struck Mu Chenfeng, who was not only narrow-minded but also often had seizures. Not killing him with one sword was already being lenient.

  "Mom, what do bad people want to cut?"

  Tang Xin was speechless for a moment, where did this little devil come from? How can he be so strange?

  "Cut off your little bird." Mu Chenfeng said coldly, raising his sword and heading towards his two legs.

  As soon as he heard this, he was so frightened that he tightly covered the little bird with both hands and shook his head while screaming: "Ah ah ah! No no no, I don't want to, Fengfeng's little bird will grow up, Mother save me, Mother save me."

  "Hey, that's enough! What are you trying to do, scaring a little kid like that?" She glared at him and walked up to snatch the little devil away. The little devil seemed to know it was afraid, and with a whoosh, it tightly clung to her chest with its hands and feet, just like a bear without a tail.

  Mocheng's face turned cold as she glanced at the little demon clinging tightly to her bosom, furrowing her brow: "Lost!"

  "Lost?" She gave him a strange look: "Are you okay? This is just a child, isn't it? Abandoning it here to feed the wolves?"

  "Right, right, Fengfeng is just a kid." Another little kid kept nodding in agreement.

  "Sister!"

  Just as the atmosphere was a bit awkward, a surprising voice came over, breaking the stiffness. Mu Chenfeng turned his head to look and saw that it was Tang Zihao and the two white-clothed women who always followed him, so he closed his eyes again and sat back down by the fire pit eating roasted chicken without saying a word.

  "Miss!"

  Xia Xue and Xia Yu rushed over quickly, seeing that she was fine, they finally put their minds at ease: "Miss, you're really okay, we were so worried when we couldn't find you this morning!" As soon as the words fell, they saw a small child with hands and feet crawling in her arms like a bear.

  Several people were taken aback: "How is there a little kid?"

  "It was picked up." Tang Xin shrugged, looking at them with some helplessness. The little ghost in her arms blinked curiously and sized them up.

  "Sister, how did you end up with Rui Wang?" Tang Zihao's gaze didn't linger on Fengfeng for too long, instead falling on the figure beside her who was emitting an icy aura - Mu Chenfeng. He wasn't surprised to see him in Fuyun Mountain, but he was surprised that he was with his sister.

  "She glanced at Mu Chenfeng, who had returned to his usual cold and distant demeanor, before asking: 'How are you guys? Are you all right?'"

  "We were worried about you, now that we see you're fine, I'm relieved too." Tang Zihao said as he walked to Murong Chenfeng's side, seemingly unafraid of his cold demeanor, and instead smiled and spoke: "Rui Wang, are you also here at Fuyun Mountain to search for treasure? Why don't we do it together? It'll be more fun with company."

  "Fat brother, he's used to being alone and doesn't join us." Tang Xin looked at him helplessly, how could she not know what he was thinking? Wasn't it just because Mu Chenfeng was quite skilled with his hands, if they really encountered danger again, he would be able to lend a hand? But, going with him? Isn't that deliberately asking for trouble?

  "Uh-huh."

  She thought Mu Chenfeng would directly refuse, but unexpectedly he glanced at her and actually responded with a "yes", causing her to widen her eyes on the spot: "Mu Chenfeng, following us is too dangerous, if you're not careful you'll be killed by the cultivators, it's better for you to go your own way!"

  He glanced at her, not speaking, but Tang Zihao became anxious, quickly running to her side and lowering his voice: "Sister, are you stupid? His cultivation is so high, with him here we wouldn't have been chased all over the mountains!"

  "Fat brother!" She stomped her foot heavily on his, and as expected, Mu Chenfeng's lips curled up slightly after hearing that.

  "Ah! What are you stepping on me for?!" Tang Zihao hugged his foot and jumped away, quickly retreating from her side.

  Mo Chen glanced at her sideways, his good-looking lips curled up with a hint of a smile: "So you're being chased to the point of running all over the mountains? How pathetic?"

  "Mind your own business!" She glared at him irritably, walked up to him, snatched the roasted meat from his hand and handed it to Fengfeng in her arms: "Here, eat!"

  "Hehe, Mom is the best! Fengfeng loves Mom the most!" He said with joy, his hands wrapped around her neck, and suddenly he leaned in to give Tang Xin's face a quick peck on the cheek with his moist little mouth. Then, with a smile in his eyes, he took the roasted meat and started eating it in big bites.

  At this scene, Mu Chenfeng's eyes narrowed, and a dark color flashed through the deep black pupils, staring at the little ghost who was eating happily in Tang Xinyi's arms, with an ominous gaze that was terrifying.

  But Tang Zihao and Xia Xue, Xia Yu looked at her in shock: "Miss, why is this kid calling you mom? Where did this kid come from and how is he so close to the young lady?"

  "Yes, sister, how did this little devil call you mother?" Tang Zihao also followed suit, looking at the child in Tang Xin's arms with a strange expression: "It looks white and chubby, very cute, but this brain seems to be a bit dull."

  "I think he's mistaken, keeps calling me 'mother', I've told him many times that it's not me, but he still calls me that, and there's nothing I can do." She shook her head, looking helpless: "Let's get out of the woods first, then see if we can help him find his family!"

  In his arms, the little devil listened to them talking while gnawing on meat, not worrying at all that he would be sent away, anyway, he was determined that no matter how they drove him away, it would be impossible.

  At this time, in another part of the Floating Cloud Mountain, Su Zhen Nan and Su Ruo Shui were sitting under a tree, both silent, each lost in their own thoughts. They had originally planned to let them die quietly in the Floating Cloud Mountain, but unexpectedly, they failed.

  After a while, Su Ruoshui finally spoke up and asked: "Big brother, are we just going to let her off like this?"

  Su Zhen Nan furrowed his brow, gazing up at the sky above, and said in a deep voice: "One Tang family is already not easy to deal with. If she really becomes kin with Shang Miao, it will be even harder to deal with her. And our Su family's position in the imperial city will also be shaken. The Tang family's position grows by the day, and many people want to see them fall. However, wanting them to fall is not easy. Even my father said that we cannot openly make an enemy of the Tang family."

  "What are we going to do? Tang Xin, her appearance stole the spotlight that should have been mine. The imperial family came to propose a marriage and then broke it off, causing a stir throughout the city and making me the laughing stock of the imperial capital. Eldest brother, I refuse to let things end like this!" As she spoke, her anger grew, and the calm, proud gaze of yesteryear was now filled with jealousy, her hands clenched tightly around the white skirt on her body, as if suppressing the flames of rage that threatened to erupt from within.

  Upon hearing this, Su Zhen Nan's face didn't look good either. He, who had always been self-conceited, was defeated by Tang Xin's two maids yesterday, which made him feel unwell in his heart, not to mention Yu Shui. But what could they do about it?

  "Zhen Nan? I didn't expect you to come to Fuyun Mountain too."

  A strange voice suddenly came, and the two people sitting under the tree looked up at the same time. When they saw the newcomer, Su Zhen Nan's eyes also flashed with astonishment: "Shang Mo? You're here too?"

  Su Ruoshui's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she quickly stood up to tidy her clothes, bowing slightly: "Prince Gongzi."

  "Heh heh, Miss Su." Emperor Xi smiled and nodded slightly before turning to Su Zhen Nan: "My father also saw the light in the Floating Cloud Mountain that night, so I came over to take a look at what's going on. Who would have thought that as soon as I entered the forest, I heard that there was a treasure born, but although I didn't see the treasure, I met you all instead."

  "I thought you'd forgotten about me after you left, but it seems you've just been busy and neglected our friendship!" He patted his shoulder teasingly.

  "What's going on! It's just that there are a lot of things to do in the village, so I couldn't get away. Ah, yes, and there's also Shao Bai who came with me, he's roasting wild game over there, let's go together!" He said, pointing to another grove of trees.

  "Great! With you guys together, it's even more than I could ask for!" He smiled and said to Su Ruo Shui beside him: "Ruo Shui, let's go."

  "Hmm." Su Ruoshui responded with a murmur, her beautiful eyes lingering on Di Shang's body for half a moment before slowly lowering her eyelids to conceal the sparkle in her eyes. An idea was quietly taking shape in her mind.

  She knows how to strike Tang Xin's heart! And the person in front of her is the most suitable one!

  Liu Shaobai, who was roasting game, fanned himself with a fan and muttered: "This is terrible! Let me, the young master of the Liu family, do such rough work as burning fire and roasting meat. Look at my white clothes, they're all blackened by smoke. Where's the elegance of a refined gentleman? If I had known earlier, I would have brought one or two attendants with me, and I wouldn't have ended up looking like this."

  "Xiao Bai, what are you muttering to yourself?"

  "What else can I do? Let Xiao Meng go pick some branches, who knows where he's picking from, it's been a long time and he hasn't come back yet. I'm almost suffocated by the smoke." As soon as the voice fell, he slowly reacted and turned his head in surprise: "Huh? Su Zhen Nan? How is it you? Wow! Even Su Da Meiren has arrived? This is going to be lively!"

  "Alright, you little rascal, stop talking in that tone, or people who don't know you will think you're some kind of thug!" Su Zhen Nan walked over and saw the fire pit with only smoke but no flames, raising an eyebrow to ask: "What are you doing here? The meat isn't even cooked yet?"

  Di Shang Mo smiled and walked forward, putting down the branches he had picked up "What? The fire hasn't started yet?"

  "You think it's easy to start a fire? I've been using those flints for a long time, but all I see is smoke and no fire. What can I do about it? Look, my white clothes are all dirty now. You're just in time, come on, light the fire." He handed two flints to Su Zhen Nan and stood up, brushing his hands off as he stepped aside.

  He glanced at the lighter that had been stuffed into his hand, and Su Zhen Nan directly threw it behind him. He took out a match from his pocket and lit it with ease: "You don't know how to use a match? What's the point of using two stones to make fire?"

  He fiddled with it for a long time and couldn't get the spark to ignite, but he was fine, as soon as he came over, he directly took out his lighter and lit it up. He hummed twice in anger: "If I had brought my lighter, I would have lit it earlier, isn't that why I looked for two stones?"

  "Alright, sit down!" Emperor Miao smiled and patted the shoulders of the two, then walked to the fire pit and sat down, asking: "Do you know what treasure has appeared on Fuyun Mountain?"

  Su Zhen shook his head: "I don't know, probably no one knows. Up to now, except for the strange phenomenon that night, not even a shadow has been seen."

  "Right, since you two are here, Tang Xin should be here too, shouldn't she?" Liu Shaobai glanced at the two of them with raised eyebrows.

  Di Shang Mo was taken aback by these words, and immediately looked at the two of them and asked: "Did Tang Xin come too? With so many people entering this forest, is she alone or did Tang Zihao also follow her here?"

  "I don't know." Su Zhen replied without lifting his head.

  It's unclear whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Liu Shaobai continued, "How could you not know? You and she are both in the Imperial City! How could you not know if she came to Fuyun Mountain?"

  "Prince Liu, you also know that just because they are in the imperial city, how can we be sure whether she has left the city and gone to Mount Fuyun or not?" Su Ruoshui said slowly, her beautiful eyes staring straight at Liu Shaobai, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with his question.

  "Hehe, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean anything else." He smiled slightly, glanced at her, and stopped talking.

  But Emperor Di Yang was deep in thought after hearing their words, and with Tang Xin's personality, if she had also seen the light that night, she would definitely come to Fuyun Mountain, but where would she be? Is there anyone following her? Is it safe?

  "Ah! So it's you guys after all! I was wondering who it could be!"

  Duan Wuzhi, dressed in a brocade robe, appeared before them with a dozen or so guards following closely behind. With his hands on his hips and a slight raise of his chin, he asked with an air of arrogance: "I'm asking you, have any of you seen Tang Xin?"

  That day he originally wanted to go to the Xiang Fu to find Tang Xin, but unexpectedly heard that Tang Xin had come to Fuyun Mountain. He immediately went home and brought more than a dozen guards to chase after her. This Fuyun Mountain is indeed infested with wolf packs. If Tang Xin, such a delicate beauty, were to be targeted by the wolves, what would happen? If she were to be surrounded by the wolf pack again like last time, wouldn't that be a cry for help that goes unanswered, a plea that falls on deaf ears?

  Last time he hid in the tree, but this time he's learned his lesson and brought very capable guards who aren't afraid of wolf packs. And if they really do encounter a wolf pack, he can even play the hero and rescue the beauty! Hehe, who knows, maybe Tang Xin will be so moved that she'll kick out Emperor Mo Yan and marry him instead!

  Several people sitting by the fire looked at Duan Wuzhi, who was standing with his hands on his hips and smiling foolishly to himself. They all turned away, not even bothering to respond to him. However, Di Shangmiao paused for a moment before furrowing her brow and asking, "You're saying that Tang Xin has also come to Fuyun Mountain?"

  After hearing his words, Duan Wuzhi came back to his senses and looked at a few people before retreating backwards. He shook his head: "He shouldn't have come, I guess he didn't come, he definitely didn't come." Does he think they're fools? By listening to his words, they would know that they hadn't seen Tang Xin yet. Of course, he couldn't tell them that Tang Xin had arrived at Fuyun Mountain, or else he would miss the opportunity to play the hero and rescue the beauty.

  "Tang Xin should have also come to Fuyun Mountain, and inside, not to mention the wolf packs that roam about, even those who come from all over are not few. I worry that she has encountered some accident in this forest, no, I must go find her." Saying so, he stood up.

  Su Zhen Nan furrowed his brow, but didn't say a word, only casting a glance at Su Ruo Shui. Liu Shao Bai fanned himself and said: "You don't have to worry so much, her precious brother who dotes on her will definitely follow closely behind to protect her. Moreover, doesn't she still have two maidservants who are always by her side? The combined martial arts skills of the three of them aren't weak, ordinary people would need to weigh their own abilities before daring to make a move against them."

  After hearing Liu Shaobai's words, Su Zhen Nan's face became even more gloomy. His words reminded him of the day he was humiliated by Tang Xin's two maidservants, and how he, the young master of the Su family, was actually defeated by her two maidservants. This debt of shame was truly hard to swallow!

  "Your Highness, if you want to go find her, why don't we go together? It's also good that there is someone to accompany us in this forest." Su Ruo Shui's soft voice came out, and she glanced at Liu Shao Bai, saying softly: "Young Master Liu's words are not unreasonable, I think Miss Tang should be fine."

  Di Shang thought for a moment, then nodded: "Alright!" With Tang Zihao's love and care for Tang Xin, he would not let her come to Mount Fuyun alone.

  On the other hand, Tang Xin and his companions, who had eaten their fill and rested enough, finally extinguished the bonfire and prepared to continue their treasure hunt. What was originally a quiet treasure hunt for the four of them became lively with the addition of Mu Chenfeng and Feng Feng. The reason was simple: these two people seemed to be born to clash, and as soon as they met, they would not give each other a good face. Feng Feng's best move was to seek Tang Xin's protection, while Mu Chenfeng's most common move was to pick up the little ghost with one hand and throw it aside.

  As they went back and forth like this, it seemed as if they were having a great time, but in reality, they had made the few people traveling with them break out in a cold sweat.

  I'm afraid Mo Chenfeng would have directly smashed that little demon to death with a single move, but what surprised them was that Feng Feng, apart from initially being thrown out and tearfully accusing Mo Chenfeng of being inhumane, later actually took it upon herself to fight back against him. She somehow picked up a tree branch and carefully approached Mo Chenfeng from behind, intending to poke him with it. However, before she could get close, he turned around and gave her an icy stare that scared her off.

  Watching Mu Chenfeng's immature behavior all along, Tang Xin couldn't help but rub her forehead and sigh: "I'm saying, do you have to be so petty with a kid? Can't you just let it go?"

  "Come on, can't you just give in a bit?" Fengfeng ran barefoot through the forest, making a face at Mocheng Feng, deliberately trying to annoy him.

  Xia Xue and Xia Yu looked at the mischievous Fengfeng, couldn't help but laugh and shake their heads, wondering what kind of family could have given birth to such a naughty child. Looking at him running wildly in the forest with his bare body, his appearance was really comical, making people want to laugh uncontrollably.

  "Fengfeng, aren't you wearing any clothes? Your little butt is showing!" Tang Zihao shouted loudly. He was increasingly fond of this little devil, although he was a bit mischievous, but looked adorable. Thinking to himself, he turned to his sister Tang Xin and said: "Sister, if we can't find Fengfeng's family, why don't we just adopt him? Such a naughty little rascal, Dad and Mom will definitely love him too!"

  Tang Xin looked at the little ghost in front of him and smiled: "Go on!"

  "Miss, we've been in here for so long and still don't know what that treasure looks like. This forest is so big, are we just going to keep searching like this?"

  "Take a look! If we can find it, it's fate. If not, then it's not meant to be ours. If we still can't find it by sunset today, let's head back!" There were cultivators on Mount Floating Clouds who wanted her life, and she couldn't put the few of them in danger just for that treasure.

  Mocheng's eyes flickered slightly as he said, "There are cultivators in this forest. I'm afraid that treasure has already been taken by them."

  "So many people are rushing towards that thing, but there's only one of it, and it was never meant for everyone to get. Moreover, the cultivators who appeared in this forest for that treasure, how would they allow us to take it away? You guys think it's possible?" Tang Zihao also spoke up, he wasn't very interested in the treasure anyway, after all, the chances of getting it were low, and not having high hopes meant he wouldn't be disappointed when he failed.

  Tang Xin smiled and said, "Then let's just consider this a trip for fun!"

  Several people walked and chatted, until they saw a team of horses coming from the forest. The one at the front looked somewhat familiar. Upon closer inspection, Tang Zihao's mouth twitched: "How is it that idiot? What is he doing here?"

  "I guess it's because of Miss." Xia Yu smiled lightly and looked at Tang Xin in front of her, with a smile in his eyes.

  Just then, the sharp-eyed segment in front suddenly discovered them. As soon as he saw Tang Xin, he exclaimed excitedly: "Tang Xin, Tang Xin, you're here! I've been searching for you so hard."

  "Duan Wuchi, you think you can take advantage of me? Don't get too close to my sister." Tang Zihao stretched out his hand and blocked him, his stout body shielding Tang Xin from view, refusing to let him take another step forward.

  He jumped over but was blocked by him, he jumped again and was still blocked by him. Duan Wuzhi got angry, stared at him and said: "I'm telling you, fatty, what are you doing? From now on we're all one family, so don't always bully me."

  "Shoo! Who let your whole family in?"

  "If you were to marry me, you would be my elder brother-in-law, and we would naturally become one family." He said with a grin, looking back at Tang Xin: "Tang Xin, I went to your house to find you, but heard that you came to Fuyun Mountain, so I followed. By the way, I just saw Emperor Mochi over there, he was chatting with Su Ruoshui and they were sitting very close together, Su Ruoshui kept leaning against him... Tang Xin, let me tell you, Emperor Mochi is a big flirt, you should kick her out as soon as possible. I'm different, I only have you in my heart and eyes, really, I'm not lying to you."

  Upon hearing this, Xia Xue and Xia Yu couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh lightly, while Tang Zihao raised an eyebrow and glanced at Duan Wuzhi with a slanted gaze. Mu Chenfeng glanced at Tang Xin and then indifferently shifted his gaze away, as if he hadn't heard their words.

  Tang Xin smiled lightly: "So he's here too, where is he? I'll go take a look." She wasn't surprised that Di Shuang had come, but she was curious how he had run into Su Ruo and the others. As for Duan Wu Zhi's words, she naturally didn't think that Di Shuang would be as he said.

  Duan Wuji was stunned, but didn't say a word. He didn't want to tell her where Emperor Ye was after all! However, after thinking for a moment, he smiled and pointed in the opposite direction: "He's over there, I saw him over there."

  "Oh?" Tang Xin smiled and said to several people: "Then let's go take a look over there!"

  "Dang, wait!" Duan Wuji stopped her and pointed at the little boy who was playing naked behind them. "How is there a child?" In fact, he wanted to hold onto her and not let her go find Di Muyu, but when the little boy raised his head and smiled at him, then ran towards Tang Xin with his little legs and shouted out two words, Duan Wuji suddenly became flustered.

  "Mother."

  "Mother?"

  "Don't shout randomly!" Tang Zihao glared at him, looking at his silly expression, and really wanted to kick him over.

  Xia Xue and Xia Yu smiled with pursed lips, while Tang Xin bent down to pick up Fengfeng and said: "I picked this up halfway, I think the child is missing his mother, all the way calling me 'mother', I'm also helpless, let's go!" She said, without looking back at him, carrying Fengfeng in the opposite direction that Duan Wuzhi pointed.

  Later, Mocheng Feng saw her going to Di Shang Mo's place, his deep phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, his face slightly sinking. He stopped in his tracks, looking at the cyan figure in front of him. After a while, a cold and stern voice came from his mouth: "I'm leaving."

  No reason, no explanation, just three simple words. When Tang Xin turned around in surprise, she only saw his dark figure flash by and disappear into the depths of the forest. She couldn't help but feel bewildered: What's wrong with him again?

  "How can he just leave like that? He was just saying he'd go with us." Tang Zihao sighed, while Duan Wuzhi saw this and hastily said: "It's okay, it's okay, I brought many guards over, I can protect you guys."

  Several people twitched at the corner of their mouths, glanced at his guards, although many were martial artists, but compared to them, they were still far inferior. Protecting them? It's really unknown who protects whom!

  "Clang!"

  "Huh? What's with the sound of fighting?" Tang Zihao looked ahead in surprise, listening to the clanging of swords, and turned back to ask Tang Xin: "Little sister, do you want to go take a look?"

  "Ah! Isn't that where Emperor Wu was just now?" Duan Wuzhi blurted out without thinking, and as soon as the words left his mouth, he covered it with his hand and turned to look at Tang Xin, but Tang Xin's attention wasn't on him, instead she was staring thoughtfully into the distance.

  "Go take a look!"

  As soon as she spoke, the crowd rushed over there. When they arrived, they saw Emperor Xian and several others surrounded by more than a dozen men. Those men were not weak, and several people were fighting against them, apparently somewhat struggling.

  "I'll go help!" Tang Zihao said, preparing to rush out and assist, but was blocked by Tang Xin: "Wait, there are still people in the dark."

  Her bright eyes scanned the forest, but all she saw were swaying tree shadows. A gentle breeze blew by, causing the leaves to rustle softly, yet not a single figure was hidden from view. She couldn't help but furrow her brow, thinking to herself: Could it be just my imagination?

  "There isn't!" Tang Zihao also carefully looked around, but didn't find a single person.

  "That can only mean that the other party's strength is higher than yours, so you didn't notice his position." She said softly, paying attention to Di Shang Mo and others' battle while also subtly noticing the movements around her.

  Those besieged Su Ruo saw that one line of people standing not far away, looking at them with their eyes fixed on the green clothes. When her beautiful eyes flashed a fierce and poisonous look, these people suddenly surrounded them, every move was fatal, and they didn't seem to be treasure hunters at all, but rather cold-blooded killers! She didn't know who wanted to put them to death, but since she saw that Tang Xin was also here, she would drag her down with her even if it killed her!

  She took advantage of the situation to pretend to be defeated by her opponent, but in reality, she secretly grasped the force of the palm that struck her. The direction in which she was slapped and fell also happened to be where Tang Xin and his group were standing, successfully drawing them into the eyes of those people.

  "Is it you?" She pretended to be surprised and looked at them, suddenly urgent: "You quickly leave! Quickly leave! Go!"

  "Is it Tang Xin?"

  The emperor was shocked and didn't expect her to suddenly appear here, the skills of these people far exceeded their imagination, if their gaze turned to Tang Xin, wouldn't it be...

  As expected, the gazes of those people also noticed Tang Xin and his group's location. A cold killing intent flashed in their eyes. Several men holding swords hacked towards Su Ruoshui at the same time, and they also attacked Tang Xin who was holding Fengfeng. The fierce moves contained a shocking aura of martial power, and the chilling killing intent made Tang Zihao's heart skip a beat, causing Emperor Mochi to become flustered as he exchanged blows with his opponent.

  "Sister!"

  "Be careful!"

  Two cries of surprise rang out in unison, Tang Zihao stepped forward in the first time and pulled Tang Xin behind him before he could react, but as a result, the opponent's sword swished past his arm, the sound of clothes being torn apart was heard, and fresh blood instantly stained a large piece of cloth red.

  "Fat brother!" Tang Xin was furious, her clear eyes scanned the unknown Su Ruo Shui who had already retreated, her gaze turned cold, and with a kick, she kicked out the man who had hurt Tang Zihao. However, this seemingly unintentional kick actually kicked the man in the direction of Su Ruo Shui.

  "Ah!"

  Su Ruoshui let out a cry of surprise, only because the man who had been kicked by Tang Xin fell down and pressed her skirt at the same time. In her haste to retreat, she pulled on it and tore the skirt, suddenly revealing two white thighs in front of everyone. The guards brought by Duan Wuzhi were stunned, and Duan Wuzhi swallowed his saliva, thinking: Why does Su Ruoshui like to expose her body so much?

  "Like water!"

  Apart from Su Zhen Nan, no one would have paid attention to her. Seeing her skirt being torn apart in front of so many people, Su Zhen Nan quickly came to her side, took off his own outer robe and put it on her. However, this made him completely defenseless against his opponent, making him an easy target.

  "Hiss!"

  "Big brother!" Su Ruo Shui's eyes reddened, and she had always been the one he protected the most. At this moment, she didn't care if her own aura was exposed or not, and with a swift movement, the sword in her hand shot out with a sharp sword energy, flying towards the enemy. Her body turned around and stuck to Su Zhen Nan's back, shielding him while anxiously asking: "Big brother, how are you? Are your injuries severe?"

  "I'm fine." Su Zhen Nan gritted his teeth, cold sweat seeping from his forehead due to the pain of his wound, but he still forced himself to face the enemy.

  While Tang Zihao was there, Xia Xue and Xia Yu were protecting Tang Xin, who was bandaging Tang Zihao. Duan Wuzhi was also fully armed and vigilant around Tang Xin, with his hands grasping the hilt of his sword. Fengfeng, standing beside Tang Xin with a curious expression, blinked her eyes as she watched the crowd in intense battle, their bloody and shouting appearance being quite novel to her.

  In the dark, a pair of sharp eyes stared at them. Those people were clearly divided into two factions: Emperor Shang and Su Zhen Nan siblings and Liu Shaobai on one side, while Duan Wuzhi's dozen or so guards did not join in, but instead protected Tang Xin and others in the middle, preventing anyone from approaching to harm them. As a result, all the attacks turned towards Emperor Shang and his group. The sharp and profound gaze stared at them, as if pondering what to do next.

  "Desist! Hurry up and call for backup, we can't hold on any longer!" Liu Shaobai was now in a rather disheveled state, his white robes torn open in several places, his hair tie scattered during the fight, his hair disheveled, with an expression of both urgency and anger. If it weren't for the fact that their opponent was too strong, someone would probably have burst out laughing by now.

  Duan Wuzhi, with his hands grasping the sword, vigilantly guarded Tang Xin's side. He glanced at Liu Shaobai with a somewhat sympathetic gaze and said: "Liu Shaobai, you've ended up like this too? It's really pitiful. Although I'd like to help you, you also know that I'm not skilled in just two moves. These people are so formidable; if I were to let my men help you, who would protect me and Tang Xin? I'm not stupid! In any case, you're on your own. If you really meet with misfortune and die, at most, I'll have someone send your body back."

  After hearing his words, Liu Shaobai was so angry that smoke was coming out of the top of his head: "You're a despicable person! Not only did you not help, but you also cursed me to death! Just wait and see how I'll deal with you!"

  "Cut! You'd better focus on what's in front of you first! Fortunately, I'm clever enough to bring so many people here, otherwise it would be a mysterious death."

  But Di Shang saw that Tang Xin was being protected by them and was fine, so he finally put his mind at ease and focused on dealing with the people in front of him. These people who suddenly attacked them were well-trained one by one, obviously not treasure hunters, but cold-blooded killers raised by someone. However, what kind of person wanted to kill them? It's actually not simple for someone to be able to raise such a group of killers and seize this opportunity!

  The aura of Wu's power spread through the air as the battle intensified, heavy and oppressive. The aura swept through the air, cutting through the body like a sharp sword. Tang Xin and others who were protected in the middle, although they avoided the intense martial arts aura and the terrifying killing intent, could still feel the powerful aura emanating from those people.

  She narrowed her eyes and swept a glance at the assassins, her gaze flickering slightly as she looked around discreetly. Who was that person in the shadows? Was this assassination being manipulated by someone lurking in the darkness?

  After a long battle, Emperor Mo and his men were gradually exhausting their physical strength, and even their attacks seemed somewhat lacking in power. Their actual strength was not much different from that of the enemy, but that was when they were fighting one-on-one. Now, with over a dozen people joining forces to attack them, their combined combat power had suddenly increased. If this kind of battle continued, Emperor Mo and his men would only be defeated!

  "Ah!"

  Su Ruoshui was caught off guard and her arm was injured by a killer's sword. The sword in her hand fell to the ground, and she retreated step by step in terror without a weapon. Meanwhile, the opponent's sharp swordsmanship continued to advance, frightening her pale.

  "Miss Su!"

  Di Shang Mo was closer to her, seeing that she had no weapon in hand, the assassin's attack was fatal. He immediately came to her side and blocked the fierce attack for her. With Di Shang Mo protecting her, Su Ruo Water visibly breathed a sigh of relief. However, in order to protect her, Di Shang Mo was clearly not in his best condition. After deflecting an assassin's sword, he was struck by a palm on the chest. He let out a muffled groan, and a thread of fresh blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. His figure also stumbled backward several steps.

  At this moment, one of the assassins saw an opportunity and with a gaze full of murderous intent, charged towards Emperor Shang with his sword. The sharp sword emitted a fierce aura that was accompanied by a terrifying killing intent. Su Ruoshui, who was hiding behind him, gritted her teeth and flashed a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes. She suddenly rushed forward and used her own body to block the front of Emperor Shang, blocking the assassin's sword for him.

  "Like water!"

  The sudden scene left everyone stunned, and Emperor Mo was even more unexpected that she would use her own body to block the sword for him. Looking at the blood staining a large area on her back, his heart tightened, and he held her in his arms as she fell backwards, calling out shakily: "Miss Su... you..."

  Su Ruo Shui forced out a weak smile, her eyes filled with unresolvable emotions: "You... you're fine, that's all that matters..." She had gambled! Using her own life as the stake! If she didn't become ruthless to herself, she would forever lose to Tang Xin!

  His heart sank, Emperor Xuan stared deeply at her, not knowing what to say. As he watched her faint, he clenched the sword in his hand, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light as he scanned the assassins. With one arm embracing Su Ruo, his body moved swiftly, and a chilling sword aura swooshed out from his sharp blade, striking the assassins with an overwhelming force!

  Su Zhen Nan looked at Ruo Shui, who was being held in Emperor Mo's arms, with a worried expression. He knew that she was taking a gamble by doing this, but it was her own life that was at stake. If she lost...

  Liu Shaobai did not expect Su Ruoshui to actually block the sword for Emperor Xun, and subconsciously, his gaze swept towards Tang Xin who was being well protected.

  Digression

  What will happen next? Su Ruoshui is too harsh on himself, Emperor Mochi faces death, who is the person in the dark? Will Tang Xin make a move again?
