Dream Breaks One Day - C153

In the afternoon, Yun Duan brought a group of children to play in the courtyard.

Li Liangxiao was proficient in martial arts, leading troops to war, attacking cities and managing the rear. His martial arts had been honed from fighting on the battlefield.

But Yun Duan was different. Yun Duan had been brought up by the immortal crane master, and his martial arts had surpassed a hundred families, so he was also an expert in countless surprises. It could be said that no matter how strange his martial arts was, or how his sword moves were, he needed Yun Duan to grasp them all. Therefore, although Yun Duan was not able to lead his troops to battle, he was able to take the general’s head out of the millions of enemies like he was searching for something.

Therefore, Yun Duan spent most of his time on teaching those kids tricks, which was impossible for those kids to imagine. The entire yard was filled with laughter. It was only until the city gate was about to close that Zhuang Li and the other two were finally ready to leave.

After leaving Li Liangxiao’s house, the three’s hearts were filled with emotion. There was a certain feeling in his heart that made him feel especially heavy.

It was already autumn, and the weather had begun to cool down in the evening. It even felt somewhat chilly. They had already led their horses out of the city. Although the city was bustling with noise and excitement, once they left the city gates, it instantly became cold and cheerless. Not only was it desolate, it also made people feel that it was eerily quiet.

After walking for more than five kilometers, Zhuang Li’s mind was still occupied with what had happened with Li Liangxiao, and did not know what to do. Qing You led her stallion and jumped up and down, looking like she was in a good mood. Just that Yun Duan had a calm face ever since he left Uncle Zheng’s place. It was unknown what he was thinking about, Wasn’t he very happy in the afternoon?

When they arrived at a bend in the road, they saw that both sides of the road were covered with dense forest. The three of them walked past both sides and suddenly, countless birds flew out.

Did we scare the bird by walking by?

Zhuang Li wanted to ask Li Liangxiao, but Li Liangxiao suddenly stopped in his tracks.

“Be careful!” He spoke coldly with an ashen face.

Before Zhuang Li could react, two arrows flew towards her. Where would she be able to dodge in time? All she could hear was the sharp arrows tearing through the air twice, and the only reaction she had was to close his eyes, as she did not want to die a horrible death. Although when she thought about this, she immediately realized that closing her eyes had nothing to do with what she had died of.

But just at that moment, Yun Duan seemed to have flashed past her in a flash, and pulled Zhuang Li away from his original position, little by little. But just that tiny bit caused the arrow tip to graze right past Zhuang Li’s face, and with a ‘hua’ sound, it pierced the ground and smashed a rock on the ground into pieces. It seemed like the archer’s strength was not ordinary. She was also determined to kill Zhuang Li, even if there was someone blocking in front of Zhuang Li just now, the power of the arrow would be enough to shoot through two people at the same time.

That was close…

Zhuang Li was naturally still standing at her original position in shock. When she finally regained her senses, she quickly turned around to check if Qing You was alright. Qing You was also shocked, and fell to the ground. Zhuang Li hurried to pull him.

However, just at this moment, a soft sound of shattering could be heard from the forests on both sides of the mountain. The sound came closer and closer, and they knew that at the edge of the forest, there were dozens of masked men jumping out.

After walking for such a long time, the sky had already darkened. Although they could still see the shadows of people clearly, the most terrifying thing was that the blades in their hands still reflected a pale light under the moonlight.

Although he still believed in Yun Duan’s abilities, when facing against dozens of men in black all by himself, with two bags on top of that … No matter how one thought of it, it was terrifying.

However, the assassins didn’t give Zhuang Li much time to think, they had a clear goal, and had probably observed them for a long time already.

Yun Duan was truly worthy of being called an expert, with a single flying kick, he managed to shake off the five to six people that were surrounding Zhuang Li. Zhuang Li realized that their target was exceptionally clear, and when it was only him, she pushed Qing You away, lest she accidentally die from injuries.

When he pushed Qing You away, a killer had already arrived in front of Zhuang Li, wielding a shiny machete. Zhuang Li was always clumsy, how could she possibly dodge an attack from an expert like this? She had already fallen backwards onto the ground. The assassin didn’t give up and continued to grit his teeth. Just as the blade was about to cut down on her head …

“Clang”, seemed to be the sound produced by the friction between the two blades, the expected hacking did not succeed, when Zhuang Li opened her eyes, it was Yun Duan who held onto the blade and directly aimed it at Zhuang Li. During the process of raising, Yun Duan’s hand subtly shook and the assassin felt his palm go numb. The blade fell out of his hand and was raised high up, before falling down again as if it was a slow shot. Swish!

This life and death exchange had been so ingenious that Zhuang Li had no way of reacting. Not only was sshe sighing at Yun Duan’s martial arts, he was also throbbing after surviving the calamity, and she was still sprawled on the ground. There were still many people left besieging her, but under Yun Duan’s suppression, he was not able to get close to Zhuang Li.

The blade that Yun Duan was using had always been on his waist, and he had never seen him take it out before. Now that he had seen it for the first time, Zhuang Li realized that it was different from the others.

There was nothing special about the appearance of the blade, but there was a bright blue light on the blade, which was able to effortlessly cut the assassin’s blade apart from the middle, as though it was mud, and in that moment, several assassins retreated out of the encirclement because their blade was cut by Yun Duan.

Yun Duan’s hands were too fast, his hands raised up into the air, and her blade fell down, and his hands were absolutely not weak. Zhuang Li heard several screams, and immediately saw two assassins who had failed in their attack getting their arms chopped off by Yun Duan, blood spurting out, causing the entire place to be filled with the smell of blood, it was extremely disgusting.

That man had almost reached the level of an abnormal expert. With so many killers attacking Zhuang Li together to protect him, they actually couldn’t even take a step inside.

The sound of swords and blades clashing was extremely sharp and filled his ears.

Every single time, a fish that escaped from Yun Duan’s grasp would rush towards Zhuang Li with a blade in hand, only to be stabbed to death by Yun Duan who had eyes at the back of his head. The assassin did not expect Yun Duan to actually be able to make up for his loss with a backhand slash, which directly pierced through his heart, and then with a swoosh, he struck the blade out, causing blood to spurt out immediately and fall onto Zhuang Li’s face. Zhuang Li looked at the person who had just realised that she was dead with her eyes wide open, and fell down as though he had lost her center of gravity. Bang! She heavily smashed onto the ground beside Zhuang Li, and even Zhuang Li could feel that the dirt on the ground had been smashed by him to the point of flying.

A quarter of an hour later, Yun Duan was still fighting bitterly, but he had already completely suppressed the situation, and was obviously at an advantage. The more corpses the assassin had, the less people he could fight with Yun Duan.

Blood and flesh splattered, dyeing Zhuang Li’s body into spots. As for Yun Duan, although he was at the center of gravity in the battle, he was a bit cleaner than Zhuang Li. The place where he raised his blade was definitely covered in blood. However, that blade was also extremely strange. After fighting for such a long time, the blade was still as bright as ever, without the slightest hint of blood on it.

The assassins realized that the man they were facing was a monster. He was not on the same level as them. If they kept killing like this, they would only end up getting wiped out.

Suddenly, even Zhuang Li heard a strange whistle, it sounded very different from normal whistles. It was short and urgent, and was especially obvious in this kind of fight, but it seemed to have perfectly timed the fight and brought back the minds of the people who were still fighting. The remaining running killers, upon hearing the call, all retreated back into the forest.

It seemed that the voice was calling them back.

It was finally over. Zhuang Li sighed, although she didn’t have the time to guess who it was that wanted to kill him, what kind of goal and hatred did they have?

She was only lamenting that she had survived the calamity and was about to think that she would be blessed if she didn’t die soon …

But before she could smooth her breathing and calm his pounding heart, Yun Duan had already jumped onto his horse and turned it in a circle. He then grabbed Zhuang Li and from the ground and stuffed them onto the other horse.

The only words he could hear clearly were:

“Sit tight.”

Then, that fellow brought them all rushing out like arrows.

Zhuang Li could only lie on the horse’s back and tightly hug its neck, afraid that it would fall down, while Qing You tightly hugged her from behind.

Just like that, Yun Duan dragged the two horses and rushed out by himself.

He could clearly feel that Yun Duan was chasing after that group of assassins. As he listened to them disappear into the forest, he took a detour around the foot of the mountain to stop them.

Zhuang Li didn’t want to continue chasing, but the current Yun Duan, was exceptionally resolute.

She wanted to ask Yun Duan to stop, or listen to her say something like “don’t chase after a desperate situation,” but Yun Duan didn’t have time to listen to it. Zhuang Li could only hug the horse’s neck tightly.

After making a huge turn, Yun Duan was unwilling to stop, but he could feel that the escape route of the assassins was exactly the same as what Yun Duan was thinking.

“Yun Duan. Can Yun Duan not be pursued? “Since we are fine and the assassin is severely injured, he surely wouldn’t dare to come back if he knew that there are some powerful experts among us.”

However, Yun Duan’s answer came with one sentence… It’s so clean and crisp that you can’t turn it down

“The Emperor ordered us to kill them all.”
