Chapter 673 What a Loss This Time!
Just when everyone thought Chen Xuan was finished, the ropes binding Chen Xuan suddenly snapped. He punched He Xiangu directly in the chest. He Xiangu let out a muffled groan and spat out a mouthful of blood, flying out instantly!
At this moment, Qiu Yingying and Wang Daqiang also rushed out to save Jiang Bixia!
However, they had underestimated He Xiangu’s helpers. Upon seeing He Xiangu being hit, these people immediately became extremely vigilant and reached for Jiang Bixia.
Whoosh!
Qiu Yingying flicked her wrist, and a silver glint flashed as a flying knife cut through the air.
The burly man let out a scream as his wrist was pinned to the tree by the dagger!
Several burly men swarmed forward. Wang Daqiang swung his fists like two massive iron hammers. Anyone hit by Wang Daqiang’s fists felt as if they had been struck by a truck, sending them flying out.
As for Chen Xuan, he dealt with the three disciples from Fenglong Mountain. The three disciples immediately used their mystical arts against Chen Xuan. Waves of black smoke billowed up, resembling a giant python trying to strangle Chen Xuan to death.
"Die, kid!"
A disciple from Fenglong Mountain roared hoarsely, his entire face contorted.
The other two disciples from Fenglong Mountain exclaimed, their eyes shining with an unusual light, indicating the extraordinary nature of this technique!
But—
"Break!"
With Chen Xuan's calm voice, the surging black smoke instantly dissipated!
"What?"
The three disciples from Fenglong Mountain’s eyes widened in disbelief.
This technique, let alone He Xiangu, even the sect leader of Fenglong Mountain might not have been able to break it so easily, yet Chen Xuan had done so with such effortlessness.
"Show me what other tricks you have," Chen Xuan snorted coldly.
"I wonder if you can withstand this technique..."
A disciple from Fenglong Mountain, whose mystical arts had been broken by Chen Xuan, suddenly sneered.
Upon hearing this voice, Chen Xuan’s heart sank. For some reason, he felt a bad premonition.
At that moment, the three disciples from Fenglong Mountain, their eyes filled with resolve, produced a stack of yellow talismans. As Chen Xuan recognized the familiar symbols on the talismans, his expression changed drastically!
Before he could speak, the three of them threw the talismans, chanting incantations.
The yellow talismans drifted down, first covering Qiu Yingying.
"What is this stuff?"
Qiu Yingying was familiar with martial arts but not very knowledgeable about mystical arts. She even reached out to grab one, holding it in front of her to examine closely!
"Those are explosive talismans, run!"
Chen Xuan shouted.
Qiu Yingying’s face turned pale. Even though she didn't understand Feng Shui or mystical arts, hearing the name made her realize it was like a bomb that would explode!
She abruptly threw down the explosive talisman she was holding and turned to flee, but it was too late. As an explosive talisman in the sky was detonated, as if catching a contagion, all the other explosive talismans began to explode one after another!
Billowing fireballs erupted instantly, like a beast crawling out of magma, intent on devouring Qiu Yingying.
"Ah—"
Even the brave Qiu Yingying could not help but show fear when facing imminent death.
Just as the massive explosion was about to engulf her, at the last moment, a figure suddenly pressed down on her!
Boom boom boom—
The tremendous explosions merged almost instantly. Countless fireballs rolled down from the sky. The surrounding flowers and trees were immediately ignited, and a burnt smell permeated the air.
From a distance, it looked more like a unique fireworks display, but the scene was a complete mess.
The flowers and trees were all scorched, as if they had endured a great disaster. Dark smoke billowed up, and dust swirled everywhere.
"Are you alright?"
After what seemed like a long time, Qiu Yingying struggled a few times, pushed away the figure above her, and saw a familiar face before her.
It was Chen Xuan!
Seeing Qiu Yingying in danger, Chen Xuan had rushed over to protect her.
Looking at this face, Qiu Yingying’s expression was extremely complicated.
She had always had a prejudice against Chen Xuan, but she never expected him to stand up and protect her at a time like this!
As the captain of the Special Affairs Office, Qiu Yingying always took the lead in everything. She had never imagined a day would come when another man would protect her.
She noticed that Chen Xuan at this moment was covered in blood and looked as if he had been severely burned. His condition was dire. She was initially flustered but quickly regained her composure due to her professional training.
"Are you alright? Are you alright?"
Qiu Yingying cried out with a choked voice.
But Chen Xuan did not respond for a long time. Qiu Yingying became panicked: "You can't die! Otherwise, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!"
If someone paid the price of their life for her, she would truly blame herself forever.
"Cough cough..."
Just as Qiu Yingying was despairing, a cough was heard.
Qiu Yingying quickly looked over and saw Chen Xuan slowly opening his eyes. At that moment, Qiu Yingying felt as if the sky had brightened!
"Are you alright?" Qiu Yingying quickly asked.
Looking at Qiu Yingying’s concerned eyes, Chen Xuan was somewhat surprised that she cared about him so much.
Previously, this girl had been monitoring him all the time. He intended to tease her, and speaking in a faint voice, said, "I... I... I might not make it..."
Not only that, but Chen Xuan also spat out large mouthfuls of blood.
"You must not give up, you have to hold on. My teammates will be here soon, and you'll be fine," Qiu Yingying said anxiously, tears streaming down her face.
Chen Xuan gave a tragic smile and said, "I can't hold on anymore. I feel very cold, and my whole body is trembling. I hope you can hug me... it would be even better if you could kiss me..."
Qiu Yingying did not hesitate. She pulled Chen Xuan into her arms and leaned in to kiss him.
"......"
The softness of his lips stunned Chen Xuan.
He had intended to slip away at this opportunity, but he had misjudged Qiu Yingying’s strength and his own coordination.
Although the explosive talismans were powerful, they wouldn’t kill Chen Xuan. However, they did inflict some injuries, slowing down his movements.
It was precisely because of this that Qiu Yingying managed to catch him.
It's over, it's over, what a loss this time!
A moment later, Qiu Yingying pushed Chen Xuan's face away and encouraged him, "Chen Xuan, you must hold on, don't fall asleep!"
"I encountered a very dangerous situation once. When I was pursuing a vicious criminal, I was seriously injured and fell into a valley. I persisted in the valley for seven days. Every time I felt like giving up, I encouraged myself, and finally, after seven days, my teammates found me, and I was rescued. You can do it too!"
Qiu Yingying did not forget to inspire Chen Xuan with her own experience.
"Cough cough, I think I'm alright now..."
Chen Xuan dared not mess around anymore. He pushed himself up with his arms and prepared to stand.
"Really? Don't push yourself," Qiu Yingying said, stunned.
"I'm really fine..."
Chen Xuan waved his hand, refusing Qiu Yingying's offer of support, and stood up briskly.
"Are you really okay?"
Qiu Yingying was still a bit unsure, as Chen Xuan at this moment looked like a burnt piece of charcoal, with blood all over his face.
