Chapter 129 Mu Yin
Mu Yin quietly circled around to the other side of the room, looking for another opportunity to attack. He observed the layout of the room, considering Li Changyu's possible defensive positions. Suddenly, he discovered an opening and decided to seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
Mu Yin flashed into the room like lightning. His longsword flashed, emitting a chilling light. Li Changyu, hearing the commotion, immediately became alert. He quickly rose, drew his Qingfeng sword, and prepared to meet Mu Yin's attack.
As soon as Mu Yin entered the room, she thrust at Li Changyu with all her might. Li Changyu dodged to the side, easily avoiding the attack. He then swung his Qingfeng Sword to counterattack Mu Yin. Their swords clashed in mid-air, producing a crisp sound.
Mu Yin sensed the immense power emanating from Li Changyu's sword and was secretly astonished. He knew he couldn't fight head-on; he had to find Li Changyu's weakness. So, he began to change his moves, adopting flexible tactics and constantly probing Li Changyu.
Li Changyu was equally formidable, relying on his superb swordsmanship and rich combat experience to counter Mu Yin's attacks. His Qingfeng Sword danced with fluid grace, dazzling the onlookers.
The two engaged in a fierce battle inside the room. Swords clashed, flashes of light filled the air. Every move they made was brimming with power and skill, a truly breathtaking spectacle.
As the battle progressed, Mu Yin gradually discovered a weakness in Li Changyu. He noticed that Li Changyu would pause briefly when using certain techniques. Therefore, he decided to seize this opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Li Changyu.
Mu Yin deliberately created an opening to lure Li Changyu into attacking. Li Changyu fell for it, swinging his Qingfeng sword at Mu Yin. Just as Li Changyu's sword was about to strike Mu Yin, Mu Yin suddenly dodged to the side, avoiding the attack. At the same time, his own sword swiftly thrust towards Li Changyu's weak point.
Li Changyu was startled; it was too late for him to dodge. He could only try his best to defend against Mu Yin's attacks. But Mu Yin's swordplay was too fierce, and his defenses seemed somewhat futile.
Just as Mu Yin's sword was about to pierce Li Changyu's vital point, a figure suddenly flashed past and blocked Li Changyu's path. It turned out that Shi Wanxia had woken up. Seeing that Mu Yin was about to harm Li Changyu, she rushed over without hesitation.
Mu Yin's sword stopped in front of Shi Wanxia; he dared not thrust forward any further. He knew that if he harmed Shi Wanxia, the prince would certainly not let him off.
Shi Wanxia looked at Mu Yin, her eyes filled with anger. "Why did you do this? Brother Li is a good person; he didn't do anything wrong. Why do you keep bothering us?"
Mu Yin looked at Shi Wanxia, feeling somewhat helpless. He knew he couldn't hurt Shi Wanxia, but he also couldn't abandon his mission. "Miss Shi, I'm just following the young master's orders. The young master is deeply in love with you, and he hopes you can return to his side."
Shi Wanxia shook her head. "I don't like Young Master Shen. I only like Brother Li. Please go back and tell the Prince to stop bothering me."
Mu Yin sighed, "Miss Shi, what you're doing will hurt the young master deeply. Besides, Li Changyu is the young master's enemy, and it will be very dangerous for you to be with him."
Shi Wanxia looked at Mu Yin firmly, "I'm not afraid of danger. Besides, Brother Li saved him and Young Master Cui, and Brother Shen isn't an ungrateful person. You should go back!"
"Miss Shi, find a safe place to hide first. These people are coming for you. If you don't want to be captured by Shen Yanchu, then listen to me. He's no match for me, don't worry!"
Li Changyu skillfully pushed Shi Wanxia behind a pillar, and Shi Wanxia immediately hid behind it. Knowing she didn't know martial arts and didn't want to cause trouble for Brother Li, she quietly hid, her heart filled with trust in Li Changyu.
At this moment, Mu Yin spoke up sarcastically: "Alliance Leader Li is still so confident. It's a pity that three and a half years ago, in the Battle of Mangshan, your meridians were destroyed and your martial arts were crippled. Even if you were lucky enough to recover, how could your current strength be the same as before? You are no longer the number one martial arts alliance leader in the world, Great Alliance Leader Li!"
Li Changyu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was somewhat surprised. Shen Yanchu's bodyguards were indeed exceptionally capable of gathering intelligence; they even knew about his destroyed martial arts. But so what? Miss Shi didn't want to be with them; how could he allow his fiancée to be with them?
Li Changyu's face was gloomy, and the Qingfeng Sword in his hand was filled with killing intent: "Oh? Is that so? Guard Mu Yin knows quite a lot. Then I'll let you see Li Linxi's true strength!"
Having said that, he slashed his sword, sending it hurtling towards Mu Yin. Mu Yin dodged with a side somersault, but before she could even make a move, Li Changyu's sword strike and sword energy followed in quick succession. The Qingfeng Sword Technique was renowned throughout the world; how could Mu Yin possibly withstand it? The powerful sword energy made everyone present feel their scalps tingle and their breathing difficult.
Shi Wanxia, who was hiding behind a pillar, was not spared either. Lacking internal energy or martial arts skills, she was directly struck by the powerful sword energy, causing her blood and qi to surge and her to faint.
Li Changyu also noticed Shi Wanxia's situation and stopped entangled with Mu Yin. With a move called "Autumn Wind Sweeping Fallen Leaves," he sent Mu Yin flying out of the room.
"If she comes again, it won't just be a simple injury. Go back and tell your prince that Miss Shi is my fiancée. Her fate with your prince is over. I urge Prince Xiang to show some respect!"
Outside, there were scattered sounds, which soon quieted down. Li Changyu twirled his sword, sheathed it, suppressed the chaotic internal energy surging within him, and quickly went to Shi Wanxia's side.
He bent down and picked her up, settling her cross-legged on the bed. He raised his hand and channeled his inner energy into her body, dispelling the sword energy within her. Seeing her breathing gradually stabilize, he immediately stopped. He carefully helped her lie down upright and covered her with the blanket.
When he got up, everything went black and he felt dizzy. Li Changyu shook his head and forced himself to walk to the soft couch, where he sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing.
Mu Yin returned to the villa, his mission a failure. He knelt before the prince to beg for forgiveness. Shen Yanchu, seeing his appearance, immediately guessed that the operation had failed.
He had just regained his senses. Miss Shi was an upright and kind girl. She disliked formalities and was very easygoing. She knew very little about relationships, so it was expected that she would reject him.
Shen Yanchu was filled with a myriad of thoughts. He knew that Shi Wanxia held a special place in his heart. Her kindness, courage, and innocence deeply attracted him.
However, she is now being protected by Li Changyu and is even being claimed as his fiancée. He is unwilling to give up like this, but he also doesn't want to force her with harsh methods.
Li Changyu and the others are setting off tomorrow, how could Shen Yanchu fall behind? He decided to find another opportunity to have a proper talk with Shi Wanxia. He believed that as long as he sincerely expressed his feelings, Shi Wanxia might change her mind.
Meanwhile, Shi Wanxia, in her coma, had a long dream. She dreamt that she was in a beautiful valley, surrounded by blooming flowers and fluttering butterflies.
She strolled through the valley, savoring the tranquility and beauty of nature. Suddenly, she saw Shen Yanchu and Li Changyu standing not far away, their eyes fixed on her. She didn't know what to choose, her heart filled with confusion and uncertainty.
She didn't know what had happened between Li Changyu and Shen Yanchu, or why they were so hostile towards each other. All she knew was that she didn't want to get involved in their conflict; she just wanted to live a peaceful life.
After Li Changyu finished his meditation, he went to Shi Wanxia's bedside. Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, his heart filled with tenderness. He knew he couldn't let anyone hurt her, not even at the cost of his own life.
He gently took Shi Wanxia's hand and whispered in her ear, "Miss Shi, don't be afraid, I will always protect you."
When she woke up, she found herself lying in an unfamiliar room. She sat up, recalling what had happened, and felt a wave of fear wash over her.
