Chapter 38 Underestimating the enemy

A cold spear appeared out of nowhere, stabbing towards Mu Nanyue with a strange murderous aura. Pei Yinghuai beside her burst out his spiritual power and quickly condensed a barrier around the two of them.

When the cold spear was about to get closer, Yun Feng and a dozen secret guards appeared one after another, and instantly protected Mu Nanyue and Pei Yinghuai in the center.

"Miss, you go first!"

"Buzz——" Yun Feng swung his silver sword, steadily blocking the powerful spear.

"Let's go." Pei Yinghuai put his arms around her slender waist and held Mu Nanyue in front of him. They both stood on the same sword.

Mu Nanyue used her magic weapon and realized that they were surrounded.

"It's an evil cultivator."

They really came!

Pei Yinghuai's eyes darkened slightly: "They are quite well-informed."

In less than half a day, the news that Xu Yichuan, the "medicine man" they had successfully refined, had joined the Mu family had spread back to the evil sect thousands of miles away, and they were intercepted in time.

"We underestimated them." Mu Nanyue pulled up the longbow and aimed at the black-clothed men who were rushing towards him, while sending a message to the Great Elder.

The Great Elder took Xu Yichuan back first. The journey should be smooth and they should reach Qinghua City. It would be extremely difficult for the evil cultivators to snatch people from the Mu family's territory.

If things don't go well, the Great Elder will be intercepted in advance and his situation will be the same as hers.

Xu Yichuan is useful to her and must not be taken away by evil cultivators.

There was a ruthlessness in Mu Nanyue's eyes. Facing the evil cultivator at the same level as her, she was not at all timid, and the magic weapons she used were dazzling.

"Bang bang——"

A deafening explosion sounded, a huge mushroom cloud appeared in the sky, and thick smoke enveloped everyone.

Most of the evil cultivators fell down instantly.

Someone exclaimed in astonishment: "This is a sixth-level magic weapon. This damn girl is such a spendthrift!"

"Stop talking nonsense and capture him!"

Mu Nanyue pulled the corner of her mouth and glanced at Pei Yinghuai who was fighting with the evil cultivator. "Their target is me, you go first."

Her indifferent tone left no room for doubt.

The Great Elder hadn't replied, so the situation was probably not optimistic. This showed that the evil cultivators had made sufficient preparations. If they couldn't snatch Xu Yichuan away, they would take her hostage.

Mu Nanyue didn't want to implicate Pei Yinghuai, and she had a chance to escape alone.

Otherwise, Yun Feng would not let her go.

He and the secret guards held back the evil cultivator, not for protection, but because they didn't want to drag her down.

However, Pei Yinghuai pretended not to hear anything. He infused his spiritual energy into the sword and swung it out, instantly ending the life of the man in black in front of him.

He said in a deep voice: "You left your fiancée behind and ran for your life. Who do you think I am?"

Mu Nanyue: "..."

That’s all.

She stopped persuading him and waved out a high-level flash talisman to come to Pei Yinghuai's side.

"Let's go." As the words fell, they floated into everyone's ears like a breeze.

He disappeared out of thin air in front of everyone's eyes. The evil cultivator exclaimed: "Where is he?"

"He ran away, chase him!"

Yun Feng turned around to intercept, and a dozen secret guards behind him stood in the direction where Mu Nanyue was fleeing. The atmosphere was heavy and tense.

A fight gradually unfolded.

Mu Nanyue appeared a hundred miles away and chuckled after getting away: "Follow me, do you feel excited?"

Pei Yinghuai looked helpless: "You are being chased by someone, and you are still proud."

As soon as the words fell, a faint scent of peach blossoms drifted in the wind, and the green leaves rustled. The strange silence around them made the two people walking on the forest path stop. The smile on Mu Nanyue's lips faded a little, and she couldn't help but be more vigilant, "Why are you hiding? Is it because you don't want to be seen by others?"

"Hahaha..." The woman's charming laughter came into their ears, and the dangerous aura that followed enveloped them.

Pei Yinghuai held Mu Nanyue's hand tightly and subconsciously protected her behind him. His face was stern and his narrow eyes looked straight ahead.

A red figure fell from the sky, accompanied by the howling wind. The pressure released from her body almost made Mu Nanyue kneel down.

"You are sharp-tongued." The woman raised her chin and looked at him calmly, "Miss Mu, please come with me."

Mu Nanyue narrowed her eyes, and swept her dark pupils towards the woman in red. She said with a smile, "You must be the protector Yu under the Evil King's seat. I asked you to take action yourself. Could it be that the person who needs spiritual blood is..." the Evil King.

"Looking for death!" Before she could finish her words, Protector Yu swung out a wind blade in an instant, and the light in his eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent.

Mu Nanyue formed seals with her hands and silently recited a spell, and a golden lotus stood in front of her.

"boom--"

When the two collided, the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations uprooted the surrounding towering trees, leaving the ground in a mess.

"Glass Magic Lotus." Yu Protector raised his eyebrows and saw what the golden lotus in Mu Nanyue's hand was. "As expected of the future ruler of the Mu family, the magic weapons he wields are all divine grade."

“Unfortunately, you are too weak! With Miss Mu’s current level, you cannot unleash the power of the Glazed Illusion Lotus.” Guardian Yu’s fingertips flashed with spiritual power, with a cruel smile on his lips.

Several tornadoes appeared out of nowhere and swept towards Mu Nanyue, accompanied by strong winds that made it impossible to open one's eyes.

Mu Nanyue, whose body was shaky, silently increased the input of spiritual power, allowing the Glazed Illusion Lotus to block the attack, while Pei Yinghuai condensed a defensive barrier and stood in front of the two of them.

And secretly sent a message to Mu Nanyue.

"The five guardians under the Evil King are all at the level of 'Spiritual Saint' or above. We cannot defeat her at the moment."

"I will show my demon form later and try my best to hold her back. You take the opportunity to run towards Qinghua City. The elders of the two families are on their way. If you run into them, nothing will happen to you."

Mu Nanyue disagreed: "It is said that Protector Yu is the best at tracking. Even if I can hold her back, it will be difficult for me to escape."

"Besides, I won't put you in danger."

Pei Yinghuai's eyebrows moved slightly, and he continued to transmit his voice, "Listen to me, Yu Protector's target is you, if you leave, I will naturally be fine."

Mu Nanyue snorted, not believing his lies, "You just met the evil cultivator? Besides, she is the guardian Yu who is second only to the evil sect and above everyone else, and her methods are extremely cruel."

"Help me escape. If you accidentally fall into her hands, you will be in danger of death."

Pei Yinghuai: “…”

At this time, most of the spiritual power of the two had been consumed. Protector Yu on the opposite side had a relaxed look on her face. Her playful eyes, like a cat fighting a mouse, moved back and forth between the two of them from time to time.

Pei Yinghuai was breathing heavily, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. "It's not that exaggerated. Believe me."

He will not fall into the hands of evil cultivators.

Mu Nanyue: “…” Hehe.

She frowned slightly, as if she suddenly remembered something, and her heart skipped a beat, "There is something that may be able to help us."

Pei Yinghuai: "Try it?"

Mu Nanyue blinked, then waved out a high-level talisman. When Protector Yu raised his hand to destroy it, the two of them disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Seeing this scene, the nonchalant expression on Protector Yu's face instantly turned into astonishment.

She took out a mirror and injected spiritual power into it, but still could not see any trace of Mu Nanyue. She tried a few more times without giving up.

The same result made Yu Hufa feel insulted. His pretty face turned ferocious, and his eyes flashed with anger. "Damn it!"

She underestimated the enemy.

I can’t explain it when I get back!
At the same time, the disappeared Mu Nanyue appeared in a white fog.

"This is... space?"
