Chapter 1302: She Wishes Me Dead and Undone
In those fleeting moments, Yang Xiao simply didn't have the time to activate the True Martial Forbidden Area.
His heart was filled with regret and humiliation as he watched Death approach.
Bang!
At that moment, a black figure, ghost-like, dashed into the fray, meeting Yang Fei's critical hit.
Yang Fei only felt a massive force surging towards him, dense yet resilient, yet terrifyingly powerful, like a siege hammer.
Yang Fei's body flew out like a kite with a broken string.
However, he reacted extremely quickly, stabilizing himself in mid-air, and landed on one knee.
An invisible wave of air vortex surrounded his body, expanding outward, and within a ten-foot radius of Yang Fei, no one dared to approach.
Yang Fei's entire body was boiling with Qi-blood, feeling a slight regret in his heart.
The previous strike consumed nearly ninety percent of his Gang Yuan Qi, yet he still couldn't kill Yang Xiao.
Yang Fei slowly lifted his head and saw another person in front of Yang Xiao, her figure graceful and slender, like a green bamboo swaying in the wind.
Chen Xingzhu!
At the sight of Chen Xingzhu, Yang Fei couldn't help but gasp.
This woman had been entangled with him, past and present, always Yang Fei's number one enemy.
Throughout his life, Yang Fei had trampled countless strong enemies, but no one had been entangled with him for so long.
The grievances and entanglements between the two were difficult to ascertain.
Chen Xingzhu looked at Yang Fei coldly, her eyes indifferent, as if she had never known Yang Fei.
Narrowly escaping death, Yang Xiao slowly opened his eyes and subconsciously touched his head.
He found himself unharmed and breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Chen Xingzhu blocking in front of him, his heart warmed instantly.
"Sister Xingzhu, thank you."
Chen Xingzhu kept her eyes fixed on Yang Fei, not blinking, while softly saying.
"You're welcome. After all, I am your sister."
There was a strange expression in Yang Xiao's eyes, a bit dejected yet a bit shy and surprised.
He lowered his eyes like a child who had done something wrong.
"It's my fault, making you worry, Sister Xingzhu."
Yang Fei, seeing Chen Xingzhu here, knew that he could no longer assassinate Yang Xiao today. He took a deep breath, abruptly turned around, and left.
At the castle gate, more and more guards gathered, bullets flying wildly, and Nuannuan couldn't hold on any longer.
However, this little girl was loyal, grabbing a rifle and chaotically firing from behind cover, refusing to escape alone.
Yang Fei rushed over, embraced her waist, tucked Hausen under his arm, and with Yu Step at his feet, dashed rapidly towards the castle gate.
With a shout at the castle gate, more than a dozen guards rushed out.
Each held a rifle, aiming and shooting at Yang Fei and Nuannuan.
However, Yang Fei's Yu Step was so mystical, now in front, now suddenly behind.
Moreover, his speed had reached its maximum, and ordinary people's retinas couldn't capture his figure at all.
Everyone only felt a vague and elusive shadow rushing forward, then a gust of wind rushed out the door and quickly disappeared.
Yet, five or six guards recklessly pursued.
Yang Fei leaped up, kicking the tall pillar at the castle gate's pavilioned archway.
With a loud crash, the ancient pillar broke, the entire archway collapsed, instantly crushing three or four guards into a bloody mess.
At this point, the remaining guards dared not pursue, watching Yang Fei's departing figure in panicked horror.
Inside the castle, Chen Xingzhu and Yang Xiao stood their ground, not giving chase, as Chen Xingzhu stopped Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao was puzzled: "Sister Xingzhu, why don't we chase him?"
"Just now, I was only a little careless. Together, we can definitely kill him."
Chen Xingzhu sighed.
"You don't know how terrifying he is. If he unleashes his true combat power, both of us might die here."
"Ah, is he that terrifying?"
Yang Xiao shivered, then shook his head.
"Sister Xingzhu, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just hard to believe this."
"He's nothing more than a Master of Gangjin, in front of you and me, he's just an ant."
Chen Xingzhu sighed again, speaking faintly.
"Many things and people in this world cannot be judged by common sense. You are a True Martial Master as well, but if I hadn't appeared..."
Here, Chen Xingzhu wisely left the sentence unfinished.
However, Yang Xiao already understood the implication, his face flushed beet red.
He lowered his head, then gritted his teeth harshly.
"Sister Xingzhu, I promise you, next time I encounter him, I will kill him."
"Hehe..."
Chen Xingzhu chuckled lightly, her eyes revealing a hint of sarcasm, but she masked it well.
She reached out and touched Yang Xiao's cheek. "Have ambition, he's my enemy, you must help me kill him."
Being touched on the cheek, Yang Xiao's heart pounded rapidly, and he turned his head in disgust after giving Lucy, who was sobbing and shouting in the distance, a glance.
Yang Fei and Nuannuan sprinted away into the dark night, disappearing from sight.
Half an hour later, Yang Fei and Nuannuan returned to a desert area more than twenty miles outside the market.
In the desert, temperatures were high during the day and very cold at night.
Although neither feared the cold due to their level in the Martial Arts Realm.
However, Yang Fei still gathered some dead branches and kindling, building a bonfire.
Nuannuan carefully took out the Dreamlike Golden Butterfly from her bosom, with her legs and shoulders hit by bullets, staining her skirt with blood.
Watching her meticulously wipe the blood and dust from the Golden Butterfly, Yang Fei couldn't help but sigh.
"Is this flower that important to you?"
Nuannuan seriously nodded.
"Of course, I came out this time just to get the Dreamlike Golden Butterfly, fortunately, luck wasn't bad, finding it quite easily."
Yang Fei shook his head, gazing at the bullet holes in her shoulder and thigh, and gasped.
"Shot? Did you get the bullets out?"
Nuannuan's delicate face scrunched up, as if just now feeling the pain.
"Stray shots, the bullets are still inside. It's all your fault, messing with an idiot expert and not escaping."
Yang Fei chuckled wryly: "If I hadn't dealt with that guy first, do you think we could've gotten out?"
"With his speed and strength, and a bunch of guards with guns, we wouldn't escape even with wings."
Nuannuan snorted, her face curious.
"That woman who showed up later, so beautiful. Is she interested in you?"
Amused by the little girl's gossip, Yang Fei couldn't help but smile and nod.
"Yeah, she's really interested in me. She can't wait for me to die without a trace."
Nuannuan nodded, wearing an expression of "I knew it".
"Sometimes loving someone and hating someone isn't much different, the line between love and hate is thin, who can say?"
Yang Fei couldn't hold back anymore, knocking a flick on her forehead.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Enough chatter, take your clothes off."
