At this moment, a firework suddenly burst out in the sky, breaking the tranquility of the day. This was obviously an emergency signal.

"It's Heng'er. He sent out a distress signal." Su Luoan said excitedly.

At the same time, Shen Siyan, who was flying in the distance, also noticed this scene and his face suddenly changed.

He knew that it was a special signal carried by Leng Xue, which meant the situation was extremely critical.

So he urged his mount harder and galloped towards the direction of the fireworks.

The signal fireworks exploded in the night sky, and Ye Yunzi immediately realized that the situation was not good. She looked up in the direction of the fireworks, which was not far from her. Without the slightest hesitation, she urged her horse to gallop away.

"Gee." With a shout, the sound of horse hooves rang out rapidly.

Soon after, a familiar voice came from a distance: "Miss."

Leng Xue appeared in time and walked parallel with her.

"The young master has been found, and he is safe for the time being." Upon hearing the news that Su Huan was safe, Ye Yunzi's tense heart relaxed a little.

But then, the sound of weapons clashing broke this brief peace.

Passing through the dense forest, the scene before us was horrifying: Su Huan was covered in blood and had fallen off his horse, and several men in black were swinging their knives to deliver a fatal blow.

His fox fur cloak was stained with blood and was in tatters, making him look extremely disheveled.

At this moment, a man in black seized the opportunity and stabbed forward.

Although Su Huan was able to counter the attacks, he was obviously exhausted and could only watch the danger approach.

"Su Huan." Ye Yunzi exclaimed and rushed forward, completely disregarding her own safety.

Her sudden intrusion caught the men in black off guard, and they all retreated. However, the leading man in black ordered his companions: "Let's deal with them together."

Then, a fierce battle broke out.

Leng Xue reacted quickly, throwing out several daggers and accurately blocking the attacks of several enemies.

Just when the situation was tense, a sharp sword pierced the belly of Ye Yunzi's mount, causing her to lose balance and fall to the ground.

A long sword then came towards her.

"Be careful." Leng Xue flew up and blocked the attack.

Ye Yunzi struggled to crawl to Su Huan's side, supported him and said, "We have to leave here. Hang in there, help will be here soon."

Su Huan coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper.

"Hold on, Su Huan." Ye Yunzi called out anxiously.

At this moment, the deep purple in Su Huan's eyes almost disappeared, and the fire of life seemed to be about to go out.

The surroundings were chilly and Su Huan felt his strength draining away.

When he reluctantly opened his eyes, what he saw was Ye Yunzi's face full of concern.

"Su Huan..." She was calling anxiously.

The knife flashed and went straight to Ye Yunzi's back. At this critical moment, Su Huan quickly took her into his arms and turned around.

The world seemed to be turned upside down, their positions were instantly swapped, and the ferocious blade slashed heavily on Su Huan's back.

Su Huan groaned in pain, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Ye Yunzi was shocked and hurt when she saw him using his body to build a barrier for her in the critical moment.

Blood splashed onto her cheeks, gradually turning cold.

The snowflakes falling from the sky mixed with the blood drops, and it was impossible to tell whether it was snow or blood, and they slowly slid to the ground.

"Su Huan..." she called softly.

"Ahem." Su Huan's face was as pale as paper, and his body was twitching in pain. "Why did you come here..."

"I'm here to save you..." she replied.

"Silly girl." His voice was weak and his vision began to blur. The huge amount of blood loss made it almost impossible for him to see the figure in front of him.

Ye Yunzi hugged him tightly and felt his blood soaking through his cloak.

At this moment, Leng Xue once again blocked the attack of the man in black and protected Ye Yunzi from harm, but she seemed overwhelmed facing so many enemies alone and soon suffered multiple injuries.

"Miss, run away." Leng Xue shouted anxiously, vowing to protect her master even at her death.

Ye Yunzi held the dagger with trembling hands. It was a gift from Su Huan. It was fine for practice, but it was useless in life-and-death situations.

"Kill them." The leading man in black gave the order, with no mercy in his eyes.

Ye Yunzi struggled to help Su Huan up, and retreated step by step with difficulty.

Suddenly, she noticed a figure flashing through the woods and immediately shouted for help: "Hurry up, help! There are assassins here."

Mu Yan was originally secretly following someone, planning to find an opportunity to attack, but she didn't expect to witness such a scene.

Just as she was about to leave, Ye Yunzi's shout caught everyone's attention.

The man in black immediately spotted the horse rider in the woods and immediately sent someone to deal with the new target.

Several men in black quickly rushed towards the target. Mu Yan's face changed slightly. She looked at the woman coldly, knowing that she wanted to pass the trouble on to herself.

Without any hesitation, Mu Yan whipped the horse and quickly fled the scene.

This action made the men in black more convinced that she was going to seek reinforcements, and thus they became more murderous.

……

There was a noise coming closer and closer from not far away. The Guards followed the instructions of the commander and quickly rushed towards the direction where the signal fireworks were rising.

When Ye Yunzi heard the voice, hope ignited in her heart, knowing that help was on the way.

The man in black realized that the situation was unfavorable and ordered coldly: "Quick battle and quick decision."

Suddenly, the swords and sabers became more fierce. Although Leng Xue fought hard, she was too busy to do anything else and was sweating profusely.

"You run first!" Su Huan said breathlessly, staggering. He knew that he was holding her back, and if they didn't separate, they would both die.

At the critical moment of life and death, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to keep her alive.

"Let's go quickly..."

"Never." Ye Yunzi said firmly, she couldn't leave him behind and escape alone.

At the most dangerous moment just now, he blocked the fatal blow for her without hesitation.

Ye Yunzi supported the injured Su Huan and moved forward with difficulty, hoping to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

However, just after taking a few steps, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and then he fell forward uncontrollably.

It turned out that there was a steep slope ahead, and they rolled down in an instant and disappeared without a trace.

The men in black stood there in a daze, their faces gloomy. They had not expected that there was such a trap hidden here.

"Catch the assassin! Kill without mercy." The voices of pursuers came from a distance.

The men in black exchanged glances and decided to retreat.

Leng Xue was covered in blood. He barely used his sword to support himself and moved step by step towards the direction where Ye Yunzi fell.

The slope was steep and the bottom was unfathomable. There was no sign of any survivors. "Miss..."

Ye Yunzi felt dizzy and her body fell heavily to the ground. Branches and cold stones tore her clothes and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

When she finally hit the ground, she groaned and blood flowed from her mouth.
