"Cough cough..."

There was a buzzing in my ears and my vision was blurry. It took me a long time to open my eyes.

Suddenly, she seemed to lose her footing and rolled down the slope.

It was this unexpected fall that allowed her to escape the sharp blade, otherwise the sword would have chopped off her arm.

The severe pain in her shoulder made her sweat every time she moved.

Ye Yunzi endured the pain and opened her eyes. She felt a heavy body pressing on her. The person was holding her tightly, as if he was trying his best to protect her.

"Su Huan..." she called softly.

At the moment of falling, Su Huan held her in his arms and used his body to block most of the impact for her. At this moment, his back was already a bloody mess, horrible to look at.

Ye Yunzi's pupils suddenly contracted, and she touched Su Huan's face with trembling hands, "Su Huan...Su Huan, wake up."

But Su Huan's breath was weak, his body was stiff, and he did not respond at all.

She knew that she could not delay any longer, otherwise Su Huan’s life would be in danger.

Ye Yunzi struggled to stand up and looked around.

There was no one living here and she didn't know where she had fallen.

She looked at the dying Su Huan, with a determined light in her eyes, "I will never let you die..."

She took out a signal firework from her bosom, and even though her fingers were stiff and trembling due to the cold, she still lit the firework resolutely.

The fireworks rose into the sky with a bang, and they were particularly eye-catching in the silent forest.

Although doing so would expose their position, Ye Yunzi had no choice. She didn't know whether the person coming would be an enemy or a friend, but now... she could only hope that this weak signal could bring a glimmer of hope.

Su Huan's injuries were too severe, he couldn't afford to wait or delay!

Ye Yunzi took a deep breath, took off Su Huan's cloak that was soaked in blood, and covered him with her own cloak which was still intact.

A cold wind blew, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

She picked up the bloody cloak and walked away.

After a while, rustling sounds were heard in the woods, and someone was approaching quickly.

Ye Yunzi nervously clenched the cloak in her hand until she could see clearly the figure of the person coming. It was the seriously injured Leng Xue.

Seeing Leng Xue appear, Ye Yunzi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss." Leng Xue rushed over regardless of everything after seeing the signal fireworks.

Seeing that Ye Yunzi was safe and sound, she finally let go of her worries.

But her voice was still filled with anxiety: "Miss, we have to leave here quickly. This place has been exposed. Those assassins will find us soon..."

"Leng Xue." Ye Yunzi interrupted her and looked at her firmly, "No matter what, we have to bring Su Huan back."

"Miss..." Leng Xue had an ominous premonition in her heart. She saw through Ye Yunzi's plan and shook her head hurriedly, "No! It is my responsibility to protect you. If you want to lure the tiger away from the mountain, I should bear the responsibility."

"Leng Xue, you must take him back, no matter what." Ye Yunzi said firmly.

Leng Xue wanted to argue, but the sound of horse hooves in the distance interrupted her.

Ye Yunzi's face darkened and she quickly put on the bloodstained cloak and wrapped herself tightly.

"This is an order." Her voice was cold and firm, and she turned and rushed into the depths of the woods.

"Miss..." Leng Xue looked at Ye Yunzi's receding figure, clenched her fists, and looked worried. She took a deep breath, carried Su Huan on the ground, and walked away in the opposite direction. "Miss, you must be safe!"

Despite the heavy burden on her shoulders, Leng Xue still gritted her teeth and persevered. Her wounds tore open, and her clothes were soaked with blood.

Every step left a trail of blood, and consciousness gradually blurred.

In order to stay awake, she cruelly stabbed her thigh with a knife, and the severe pain made her wake up temporarily.

"Master Su, hold on, don't let the young lady's kindness go to waste." She gritted her teeth and whispered.

In the dense forest, the sound of horse hooves became closer and more chaotic.

Ye Yunzi shuttled through the bushes, leaving a trail of blood behind her.

Suddenly, a flying knife came and stabbed into the tree trunk.

"Humph, you're really lucky." A man in black came on horseback, swung his sword, and blew off Ye Yunzi's cloak.

Seeing that it was her, the man in black frowned slightly: "It's not him."

Ye Yunzi covered her injured shoulder and stepped back, her eyes as cold as ice as she questioned the other party: "Who are you? Why are you chasing Su Huan?"

The men in black had no expression on their faces and did not answer. They just raised their knives without saying a word.

Facing death, Ye Yunzi felt an unprecedented chill. At this moment, the sound of metal collision broke the silence.

Ye Yunzi opened her eyes and saw a man in black standing in front of her, his eyes as sharp as a blade.

With a scream, the arm of a man in black was cut off and blood splattered everywhere.

The man fell off his horse.

All this happened too fast. Shen Siyan seemed like a god descending from heaven, holding a sword in his hand and with a cold and ruthless look in his eyes.

When the men in black saw Shen Siyan, they immediately looked at a loss. They held sharp blades in their hands, but hesitated to move forward, as if they were struggling inside.

Shen Siyan was alone, facing the danger in front of him, his back straight, and his eyes glanced at the other party coldly.

Ye Yunzi's heart suddenly tightened, and she was full of doubts: How could he appear? When she saw Shen Siyan's figure, she not only did not feel relieved, but became more worried, fearing that he would fall into danger.

The men in black exchanged glances with each other, and finally the leader coldly spat out one word: "Retreat."

Immediately, a group of people quickly turned around and fled the scene. Even the companion who lost an arm did not care about the pain and hurriedly mounted his horse and fled away.

Shen Siyan turned to Ye Yunzi, and their eyes met. His eyes were as deep as the night sky. After a pause, he dismounted and walked towards her, hugged her tightly in his arms, and whispered, "I'm late."

"Shen Siyan..." Ye Yunzi finally felt relieved and found the long-lost sense of security in his arms. She could feel Shen Siyan's body trembling slightly, as if he was afraid that if he let go, they would never see each other again.

"Yun Zi." There was a hint of subtle fear in his voice. Even the man who was called the King of Hell had a fragile side.

Ye Yunzi raised her face and gently stroked his cheek, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Shen Siyan looked at the slightly weak woman in front of him with a pale face, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.

Just when Ye Yunzi wanted to comfort him that everything was fine, her eyes suddenly went dark, and she fell down limply, losing consciousness.

……

Baili Yan rode his horse at full speed through the mountains and forests.

When the first flare exploded in the air, he happened to be not far away. At that moment his heart involuntarily tightened, and he had a premonition that something unexpected was going to happen.

Just as he was about to go over to check, a white figure came into view.
