Chapter 204: Xilin Emperor's Revenge
Chapter 204: Xilin Emperor's Revenge
From then on, Hakcha Flying Eagle returned to the west in glory, and his power in the court was at its peak.
He secretly planned and gradually disintegrated the power of the Xilin Emperor's cronies, and finally succeeded in seizing power and became the de facto ruler of Xilin.
Although Mu Lanfeng secretly assisted Hakecha Feiying in this operation, it inevitably attracted the attention of Emperor Xilin. The Emperor Xilin sent people to investigate secretly and finally found Mu Lanfeng.
Although Emperor Xilin has lost power, there are still many people who secretly serve him.
He sent out his most elite assassins to lurk in Longyuan, targeting Mu Lanfeng.
One day, Mu Lanfeng went out as usual. When he walked to a remote street, the atmosphere around him suddenly became gloomy.
The assassins emerged from the darkness, each of them agile and with cold eyes.
Mu Lanfeng's eyes flashed, and the scarlet whip in his hand swung out like a spirit snake, the whip cutting through the air with a whistling sound.
The tip of the long whip seemed to have life, and it precisely wrapped around the leading killer.
The killer reacted extremely quickly, dodging sideways and swinging the dagger in his hand towards the whip, trying to cut it off.
Mu Lanfeng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, shook his wrist, and the long whip instantly changed direction and swept towards the killer's legs.
The killer leaped up to avoid the attack, but unexpectedly Mu Lanfeng turned around and used the force of the rotation of the whip to lash the killer in the air.
The killer was hit by the whip and groaned, but still endured the pain and continued to pounce on Mu Lanfeng.
Seeing this, the other killers attacked Mu Lanfeng from different directions.
Mu Lanfeng showed no fear at all. She swung the whip so tightly that it looked like a red curtain of light.
The killers' swords hit the long whips, making only a "clang clang" sound, but they were unable to break through this line of defense.
Mu Lanfeng seized the opportunity and suddenly released one end of the whip, shooting it towards the throat of a killer like an arrow.
The killer was unable to dodge and was hit by the whip, falling to the ground on the spot.
The killers were well-trained and did not panic. They changed their tactics and worked in groups of two, with one making a feint attack while the other looked for the flaw in the whip.
Mu Lanfeng sensed their intentions and quickly changed the moves with the whip in his hand.
Sometimes she wrapped the whip around her arm and fought in close combat, and sometimes she threw the whip far away to attack the killer in the distance.
During the fierce fight, Mu Lanfeng also had several scratches on her body, but her eyes remained firm and the attack of the long whip in her hand became more and more fierce.
Just when Mu Lanfeng was gradually feeling overwhelmed, a white figure flashed over like lightning, and it was Gu Yunxuan.
He landed lightly in front of Mu Lanfeng, and the folding fan in his hand opened with a "swish", blocking the sword of an assassin that was stabbing at Mu Lanfeng. The sound of metal collision was crisp and loud.
At the same time, he turned his other hand into a knife and slashed at the killer's wrist. The killer felt pain and almost dropped the sword in his hand.
Gu Yunxuan took advantage of the victory and kicked the killer away like a dragon emerging from the sea. The killer's body hit the wall with a dull sound.
"Don't panic, Lanfeng, I'm here to help you." Gu Yunxuan looked at Mu Lanfeng with a gentle yet firm gaze, full of concern.
Mu Lanfeng was stunned for a moment, then the scarlet whip in his hand danced like a snake again, and he and Gu Yunxuan faced the enemy back to back.
When the killers saw help coming, they attacked more fiercely, and several swords stabbed at Gu Yunxuan at the same time.
The corners of Gu Yunxuan's mouth rose slightly, his expression was calm, and the folding fan in his hand waved quickly, turning into white light and shadows.
The waving folding fans accurately blocked the assassins' attacks, and the swords and knives hit the folding fans, splashing sparks.
He moved with light steps, and his figure shuttled among the killers like a ghost. When the time was right, he used the tip of the folding fan to press the acupoint of one of the killers. The killer was instantly unable to move and stood still like a statue.
Seeing this, the killers changed their strategy and split into two groups. One group continued to attack Gu Yunxuan, while the other group tried to go around behind him and attack Mu Lanfeng.
Gu Yunxuan noticed their intention, frowned slightly, and waved the folding fan in his hand faster.
Sometimes he used the fan to block the sword from the front, and sometimes he used the fan bones to attack the killer's vital points.
While fending off the frontal attack, he also did not forget to pay attention to the movements behind him, and from time to time he would kick away the killer who was attacking from behind.
However, the killers were the elite among the elite after all. They quickly readjusted and concentrated their forces to attack Gu Yunxuan.
Several swords stabbed at him from different directions. Gu Yunxuan leaped high and the killers' swords missed.
Then the killer changed direction and stabbed upwards.
Gu Yunxuan somersaulted in the air, cleverly avoiding the attack, and at the same time threw the folding fan in his hand towards the killer below.
The folding fan spun like a flying knife and hit a killer's shoulder. The killer screamed and covered the wound.
Gu Yunxuan landed steadily, and before he could catch his breath, the killers attacked again.
Seeing that Gu Yunxuan was under increasing pressure, Mu Lanfeng swung the whip faster, trying to relieve the pressure on him.
But the scratches on her body made her movements a little slower, and the power of the whip was not as strong as before.
The killers seized the opportunity, avoided the whips, and attacked Mu Lanfeng.
Seeing this, Gu Yunxuan shouted and rushed to Mu Lanfeng.
His eyes were stern, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his originally gentle gaze. A soft sword appeared in his hand at some point, and the sword body flashed coldly like a silver snake in the sunlight.
He rushed into the group of killers like a gust of wind, swinging his soft sword, and every move was destined to kill.
His figure flashed, and the soft sword slashed across the throat of a killer. Blood gushed out instantly, and the killer fell to the ground and died before he could even scream.
Without any hesitation, Gu Yunxuan turned around and stabbed another killer who was rushing towards Mu Lanfeng with his sword.
The killer hurriedly raised his knife to block, but Gu Yunxuan's soft sword went around the blade like a snake and pierced straight into his heart.
Gu Yunxuan's moves became more and more brutal. He was not afraid when he was outnumbered.
The soft sword in his hand seemed to have its own consciousness, moving freely among the group of killers.
He swept through the enemy troops with one blow, and his soft sword brought up a rain of blood. Several killers were scratched on the legs and fell to the ground one after another.
Gu Yunxuan then jumped high and stabbed the soft sword straight down. An assassin tried to dodge, but Gu Yunxuan stepped on his shoulder and the soft sword pierced his chest.
At this moment, Gu Yunxuan was like a Shura from hell. His white clothes had been stained red with blood, but his eyes were still firm. He vowed to kill all these killers and protect Mu Lanfeng.
The killers began to fear and their attack became panic.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining killers began to retreat, knowing that continuing would only lead to death.
A killer gave a wink, and everyone immediately scattered and fled in different directions, trying to get rid of the Shura-like Gu Yunxuan and the troublesome Mu Lanfeng.
Gu Yunxuan frowned, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. How could he easily let go of those who tried to hurt Mu Lanfeng?
His body was as fast as lightning, chasing after a killer who was fleeing into a secluded alley.
The killer was in a panic, running around in the narrow alley, looking back in horror from time to time, only to see Gu Yunxuan following him like a shadow, the blood stained on his white figure was particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
The killer was horrified, stumbled and fell to the ground.
Gu Yunxuan arrived in an instant, with his soft sword against the killer's throat, the cold sword exuding the breath of death.
The killer trembled and begged for mercy. Gu Yunxuan said coldly: "Go back and tell your master that if he dares to do anything improper to Miss Mu again, I will make him pay a heavy price."
After saying that, he put away his sword and kicked the killer away, and the killer fled away tumbling.
Seeing Gu Yunxuan trying so hard to protect herself, Mu Lanfeng couldn't help but feel touched.
She watched Gu Yunxuan chasing the killer away, frowned slightly, and then chased in another direction.
She saw a killer running towards a crowded area, trying to escape by blending in with the crowd.
Mu Lanfeng swung his whip and wrapped it around a wooden stick on the side of the road. He pulled it hard and the stick flew up, heading straight towards the killer.
The killer heard the wind and dodged sideways, which slowed him down.
Mu Lanfeng took the opportunity to chase after him, pointed a long whip at the killer, and said sternly: "Go back and tell the Emperor Xilin not to do such mean things again, otherwise, I, Mu Lanfeng, will not let it go."
The killer nodded rapidly and then fled in a hurry.
After Gu Yunxuan dealt with the killer in pursuit, he quickly returned to Mu Lanfeng.
He looked at Mu Lanfeng, the fierceness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by full of concern: "Lanfeng, are you okay? Are you injured?"
Mu Lanfeng slightly turned sideways to avoid the hand he extended, with a calm expression: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your help, I'm fine!"
Gu Yunxuan was stunned, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, "Why bother to be polite with me, we are friends, aren't we?"
Mu Lanfeng smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "We are just friends! I have something important to attend to, so I'll excuse myself!"
Gu Yunxuan wanted to say something, but saw Mu Lanfeng turned and left.
