Qing Mei and Hong Chou exchanged a glance, then suddenly, they both lunged towards Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao had no weapon in her hand.
Feng Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Xiao Yao's hands.
He didn't know what he was thinking, but he just wanted to see if this girl could conjure something out of thin air.
For example, a short blade?
Her usual short blade?
If she were truly that dead woman...
The thought was wild, yet he had truly seen a shadow of the dead woman deep within her eyes just now.
If she were indeed that dead woman, and the Qian Kun Chain had recognized her as its master, would the soul of the Qian Kun Chain still be within her at this moment?
Qing Mei swung her blade. Xiao Yao shifted her feet, dodging swiftly.
From behind, Hong Chou, wielding a long sword, leaped up and thrust her sword towards Xiao Yao's back.
No one had expected that Qing Mei and Hong Chou, who seemed not overwhelmingly powerful individually, would possess such formidable combined strength!
Leng Ji's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, "Miss Xiao Yao, watch your back!"
Xiao Yao also hadn't anticipated that their combined effort would be so potent.
The most troublesome part was that she had absolutely no weapon in her hand.
After narrowly dodging the attack from behind, Qing Mei's blade was already slashing towards her again!
She was almost about to retrieve her short blade from her spatial storage!
But as she looked up, she inexplicably met Feng Ye Xuan's gaze, filled with exploration!
He seemed to be waiting for her to do something!
Her heart fluttered, and the urge to grab her short blade vanished instantly.
Master had said that the secret of the Qian Kun Chain must not be revealed to anyone!
Her mind momentarily faltered, and Qing Mei's blade was already at her face.
It was about to cleave her face in two!
The brothers behind her tensed up.
Though they didn't particularly like this girl, Qing Mei and Hong Chou were fighting two against one, both armed.
And this girl, her hands were empty.
As soldiers, seeing such an unequal confrontation, they couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for Xiao Yao.
How could they be so bullying?
"Little girl, be careful!"
"Watch out!"
But Xiao Yao, momentarily distracted by Feng Ye Xuan's probing gaze, had missed the best opportunity to dodge.
Yet, she hadn't given up. At the last moment, she turned her head.
She managed to dodge the fatal blow, but the large blade was about to slash down on her shoulder!
"A Li!" a hoarse cry came from a distance!
With a clang,
Qing Mei felt a sharp pain in her wrist. Her blade was sent flying, clanging as it embedded itself firmly into the ground not far away.
Qing Mei stumbled back several steps, her chest churning with blood qi, almost spitting blood from the powerful internal force.
No one saw who made the move; everyone's attention was drawn by the cry.
Even Xiao Yao looked up towards the distance.
Two figures were approaching from afar. The one in front, with white hair and an elegant demeanor, looked like a celestial being descending from the heavens at first glance!
Exquisite! Captivating!
However, his complexion didn't seem good, pale and travel-worn.
"Fifth Prince?" Leng Ji exclaimed in surprise.
Feng Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes, watching Feng Wu Ya, who had quickly approached them, then stopped, looking utterly astonished.
Feng Wu Ya was staring at Xiao Yao's face, the surprise in his eyes vanishing in an instant.
Why was she like this?
A Li was not A Li?
And in the distance...
"A Li?"
But this A Li, why was this also not A Li?
