Jun Xin patted Baili Yilingâs back and used his inner strength to help circulate her energy and blood. âDid you come by yourself? Baili Yu didnât give you any subordinates?â
When this was brought up, Baili Yilingâs eyes lit up. âWind Shadow guards! Big Brother gave me the Wind Shadow guards!â
âWind Shadow guards?â When Jun Xin heard this, something strange flashed through his eyes but soon disappeared. He helped Baili Yiling up. âContact them and have them bring you away. Without Murong Ming here, I can hold this person off for a while. Remember to find Baili Yu right after you get out and tell himâ¦â
He leaned over and quietly whispered a few words in her ear. Baili Yiling flushed slightly from the heat of his breath, then she nodded. âIâll definitely deliver the message.â
âEn, go!â After saying that, Jun Xin stepped protectively in front of her.
No matter what they did or said, the mysterious person just watched them without a word. When they brought up the Wind Shadow guards though, he pulled out a sword from within his clothes. The sword was completely black just like his figure. Even when light hit that sword, it seemed to just get devoured.
Jun Xin could sense strong danger from that sword.
He pushed Baili Yiling, âGo!â
Right after he said that, he sensed the air being cut by a sharp weapon. The hair-chilling sensation of death rapidly approached. Jun Xin immediately switched to pulling Baili Yilingâs arm and he quickly retreated backwards with her.
However, that force moved faster than he could. Just as it was about to reach them, Jun Xin lifted his hand and a blue light shot towards that direction. Both forces collided. Although the forces didnât possess any physical form, there was the sound of an explosive collision along with a crackling sound like when water fell into a pot of hot oil. Of course, this sound was much harsher. An blinding light also appeared and nearly lit up the entire courtyard.
Jun Xin didnât pause after sending out the blue flame. He jumped and in midair, pushed Baili Yiling away from the manor. âWind Shadow guard, catch the eldest miss!â
Baili Yiling had not expected him to do something this dangerous at all and was frightened to the point all color drained from her face. She wanted to use her inner strength but she couldnât get it to stir at all and could only watch as the ground rapidly approached.
She crashed through multiple branches before a Wind Shadow guard arrived. He caught her in midair, then landed on a branch before turning around to glance at Jun Xin.
âGo!â Jun Xin glanced towards that side and shouted this before turning to face the mysterious person.
The Wind Shadow guard hesitated for just an instant, but then quickly left with Baili Yiling.
Inside the manner, Jun Xin and the mysterious personâs figures were hard to differentiate as they fought. This time, the mysterious person didnât hold back and his strange martial arts were extremely strong. After a few exchanges, Jun Xin was finding it hard to keep up. However, he could sense that the mysterious person still hadnât pulled out his full strength.
He frowned. Originally, he thought that heâd be able to get some clue to this personâs identity as soon as he showed his martial arts, but the result had disappointed him greatly.
However, since he couldnât figure it out, he decided to just memorize the martial arts movement to have Baili Yu take a look at it after he got back. There was no martial arts in this world that he wouldnât be able to recognize.
When his thoughts got to this point, he started making plans to escape.
The mysterious person seemed to sense his intentions and his attacks became even fiercer. If it was said that his earlier attacks were like waves from a sea, the sea was now turbulent. Wave after wave landed on Jun Xin and for a moment, Jun Xin couldnât even fight back.
Clang!

The mysterious personâs palm made it through a gap. Right after Jun Xin dodged, he ended up in the path of the sword. If it werenât for the fact that he managed to pull his sword from his waist just in time to block it, he wouldâve been severely injured. However, though he blocked it, his hand started bleeding from the force of the collision. This personâs strength was truly frightening.
Jun Xin glanced at his bloody palm, then felt that his trembling arm couldnât be lifted. He was astonished. If the mysterious person exerted his full strength, he definitely wasnât a match.
He silently remarked that perhaps this might be it for him!
Jun Xin threw the blade aside and wiped the corner of his lips. He took out a piece of candy and threw it in his mouth, then licked his lips excitedly. It had been a long time since he had encountered an opponent like this. He was seriously unbelievably strong, he might even be stronger than Baili Yu. Jun Xin gave up on the idea of running away and now, all that was left was the desire to fight to his heartâs content.
When the mysterious person saw his expression, he laughed mockingly, making a terribly unpleasant raspy sound. The sword sliced a sharp arc in the air and stabbed into the limestone in front of him. The mysterious person then moved his fingers in a sign and countless black strands slowly appeared from the surroundings and wrapped around his withered, colorless fingers. Then he started manipulating those threads as nimbly as a spider.
