Chapter 458: Chapter 458: Unfortunately, It’s Not You
Facing this sword as swift as lightning, Long Zu Bodhi felt as though she was locked in by a powerful killing intent, the feeling that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t dodge this ferocious sword!
Am I really going to die like this?
To be killed by a single sword strike?
Is this truly going to be my final resting place?
In her heart, Long Zu Bodhi was filled with helplessness, and with regret too. Why hadn’t she listened to Ye Xunhuan’s words, not to target He Luo? Why hadn’t she accepted Liu Qingcheng’s arrangement, to have her steal?
But even if Liu Qingcheng had come, facing such a fast and fierce sword, she probably would have faced the same fate, right?
Unless it was Ye Xunhuan, who would have remained unharmed, right?
Thinking of Ye Xunhuan, Long Zu Bodhi’s heart grew even more bitter. She had gone through so much trouble to find his whereabouts, wanting to marry him, but now...
Does this bastard know I’m about to die, would he be heartbroken if I died?
Thinking of Ye Xunhuan, Long Zu Bodhi’s heart suddenly filled with reluctance. She wasn’t willing to die like this; she still had so many things to do, so many unfinished tasks!
But what could that do?
She couldn’t dodge this sword.
Just as Long Zu Bodhi believed she was about to die, suddenly a crisp sound rang by her ear, and immediately she saw that the blade in front of her, as if struck by a heavy blow, not only halted abruptly but also began trembling.
And on the ground, there was a bright, shining coin!
Seeing this, a fierce look flashed in Long Zu Bodhi’s eyes, and her free left hand shot out swiftly like an eagle’s claw, grabbing towards the opponent’s throat.
But before Long Zu Bodhi’s left hand could reach him, the man’s figure exploded back.
"Who is it, hiding in the shadows, sneaking around? What kind of skill is that?" the man said, his face filled with shock.
He knew his own strength, the terrifying nature of that sword strike, better than anyone, but it was shattered by a mere coin, dispersing all the power on the blade and also causing his arm to go numb!
How terrifying must the strength of the person behind this be?
At this moment, a beautiful curve slowly spread across Long Zu Bodhi’s lips. She knew Ye Xunhuan had come. No one but Ye Xunhuan would save her, and Liu Qingcheng was not here.
Even if he were here, he might not have managed to use a coin to repel the attacker.
"Silly woman, what are you staring there waiting to die for? If you can’t dodge, at least try! It’s better than just waiting, what if you managed to dodge?"
A familiar voice slowly arose in Long Zu Bodhi’s ears.
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan appeared from the shadows, a wicked smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
It wasn’t that Ye Xunhuan wanted to reveal himself, but he had to, having already taken action. There were so many people here, and still some hidden experts in the dark. Even with his help in secret, Long Zu Bodhi wouldn’t likely escape, especially considering the stretch, even with Liu Qingcheng’s help, Ye Xunhuan felt it was a bit of a long shot.
So he had no choice but to come out.
He didn’t believe he could carry Long Zu Bodhi away under so many watchful eyes with lightning speed, especially without being recognized.
Ye Xunhuan’s appearance caused everyone’s faces to stiffen instantly. A single Long Zu Bodhi was terrifying enough, and now there was an additional Ye Xunhuan, seeming even stronger than Long Zu Bodhi, compelling the others to treat the situation with caution!
"Who are you?"
The middle-aged man repelled by Ye Xunhuan’s coin stared at him intensely.
"Actually, I’m just a bystander. I just couldn’t stand watching so many big guys and women bullying a woman!" Ye Xunhuan took out a cigarette, lightly began smoking: "So I see injustice and shout out, I act when it’s time to act..."
In the tense and charged atmosphere, Ye Xunhuan even began humming, completely indifferent to the people around him!
"So you’re saying you played the hero saving the beauty?"
"You could say that!"
"Then, do you also have designs on He Luo?"
"I truly have no interest in that thing. I just want to live a peaceful life, not to seek trouble for myself, and certainly not to be remembered by all of you..."
"If you’re not interested in He Luo, then don’t meddle in this matter!"
"While I might not be interested in He Luo, I am interested in women." Ye Xunhuan said calmly, "A woman I’m interested in usually doesn’t just die in front of me!"
"If that’s the case, let her hand over He Luo, and you can leave."
"Are you ordering me, or are you discussing this with me?" Ye Xunhuan looked at the middle-aged man before him with displeasure.
Putting on such an arrogant air, who the hell do you think you are? I hate it most when someone treats me like this!
This man was instantly blacklisted by Ye Xunhuan.
"What if it’s a discussion?"
"Then talk nicely to me, don’t put on airs!"
"And if it’s an order?"
"You’re not qualified!" Ye Xunhuan said coldly.
"You..."
"What, you want to have a go at me?" Ye Xunhuan’s eyes suddenly changed, sharp as a blade, pointing straight at the middle-aged man!
Facing Ye Xunhuan’s fierce look and defiant words, the man’s face turned ugly in an instant: "Do you think just because you can push me back, you can be my opponent?"
"Boy, I’m giving you one chance, let this woman hand over He Luo, or don’t blame my sword for not recognizing anyone!"
"Threatening me?"
"If you think so, then it is!"
"In my life, I hate being threatened by others the most!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xunhuan’s figure flashed like a streak of white lightning, disappearing from the spot, whistling toward the man.
The man had always been on guard, after all, the shock Ye Xunhuan had given him earlier made him wary of a sudden attack!
So the moment Ye Xunhuan made his move, he noticed it immediately, but upon seeing Ye Xunhuan’s terrifying speed, his heart trembled violently, and he sensed a dangerous aura.
The next moment, just as Ye Xunhuan reached him, the man, like a gust of wind, drew back, and his longsword swung towards Ye Xunhuan’s head, the fierce Sword Qi tearing through the air in front of him!
Ye Xunhuan saw this and scoffed, not dodging, he flicked his wrist, and his middle finger struck the blade.
"Clang!" 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
In a flick of a finger, a crisp sound emitted, and then the man’s longsword buzzed as if it reached the end of its life, letting out a mournful and reluctant wail.
After the buzzing, a fine crack appeared at the spot struck by Ye Xunhuan, quickly spreading along the blade, then the longsword shattered into pieces!
Seeing this eerie scene, the man’s pupils instantly dilated, a shock from the depths of his soul seizing his body, causing him to freeze in place.
And at that moment, Ye Xunhuan’s figure flashed right in front of the man, his right hand reaching out, grabbing the man’s throat!
"There are those who can threaten me, unfortunately, you are not one of them!"
