Chapter 497
"We remember it." Shen Moxuan and Su Wenyuan answered in unison, with determination and trust flashing in their eyes. At this moment, their hearts were closely connected, as if they had foreseen countless challenges and glories in the future.
"Then, let's meet again in the rivers and lakes." Murong Xue said goodbye softly, rode on the white horse, and her figure gradually went away, leaving behind a string of melodious bells, as if it was the most gentle annotation to this beautiful time.
Ren Xiaoyao, Shen Moxuan and Su Wenyuan stood side by side, looking in the direction where Murong Xue was going away, their hearts full of expectations and hope for the future.
"Ren Xiaoyao, Shen Moxuan, Su Wenyuan, no matter when and where we are, we must remember this friendship, work together, and create the glory of the world." Ren Xiaoyao's voice was full of strength and determination, and his words were like a ray of light, illuminating their way forward.
"We remember it." Shen Moxuan and Su Wenyuan answered firmly. They knew that this promise would become the most precious memory in their lives and would also be their most solid support in their journey.
In this world full of unknowns and challenges, they will walk hand in hand and write their own legends together.
Just as the three were immersed in their infinite vision of the future, a cold breath quietly approached, interrupting their beautiful vision. A masked man in black appeared silently behind them, with a long sword in his hand shining coldly, and it was obvious that he came with ill intentions.
"Hmph, you youngsters in the martial arts world, do you think you can dominate the world of martial arts with just a few victories? How naive!" The voice of the man in black was low and threatening. His appearance was like a dark cloud covering the sun, instantly making the originally bright atmosphere become oppressive.
Ren Xiaoyao frowned slightly, turned around quickly, drew his sword, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at the man in black: "Sir, what brings you here so late at night? I wonder what brings you here?"
The man in black sneered, and with a flick of his body, he attacked Ren Xiaoyao like a ghost. Ren Xiaoyao reacted quickly, swinging his long sword, and fought with the man in black for several rounds, with sparks flying as the swords crossed.
Seeing this, Shen Moxuan and Su Wenyuan immediately joined the battle, and the three of them stood back to back, forming an iron barrel-like defense. Although the black-clothed man's attack was fierce, he was unable to gain the upper hand for a while due to the tacit cooperation of the three.
"You three do have some skills, but in front of a true master, your tricks are nothing but a show of skill!" Before the man in black finished speaking, his attack became more fierce, and for a moment, the sword shadows were so numerous that it was dazzling.
Ren Xiaoyao and the other two did not dare to slack off. They knew that facing such a powerful enemy, only by going all out could they have a chance of survival. The battle lasted for a long time. Although the three of them were a little tired, their fighting spirit was still high. They knew that as long as they could defeat the powerful enemy in front of them, they could establish a stronger prestige in the martial arts world.
At this moment, Murong Xue suddenly appeared at the edge of the battlefield, holding a short sword and with a determined look in her eyes. "Master Ren, Master Shen, Master Su, Murong Xue is a step late. Please let me lend you a hand!" As soon as she finished speaking, she joined the battle and confronted the man in black head-on.
Murong Xue's joining was like a fresh force injected into the battlefield. Her swordsmanship was agile and powerful, and every swing of the sword was accurate and precise, causing a lot of trouble for the man in black. Seeing this, Ren Xiaoyao and the other two were inspired and attacked more fiercely.
Finally, under the combined siege of the four, the man in black shook and revealed a flaw. Ren Xiaoyao seized the opportunity and stabbed him in the vitals with a sword. The man in black groaned, staggered back, and finally fell to the ground, losing his fighting ability.
"Ms. Murong, thanks to your timely assistance, otherwise I would not have been able to escape unscathed today." Ren Xiaoyao looked at Murong Xue gratefully, his tone full of respect.
Murong Xue smiled slightly, her eyes full of satisfaction: "Young Master Ren, you are too kind. In the martial arts world, supporting each other is the right way. Today's battle also allowed me to see your true strength."
Su Wenyuan and Shen Moxuan also expressed their gratitude to Murong Xue. They knew that in this dangerous world,
Just as the four of them were immersed in this newly formed deep friendship, a subtle noise suddenly came from the forest at night, breaking the tranquility. Everyone looked around vigilantly, and saw a figure leaping down from the treetops and landing lightly. It turned out to be the mysterious woman who had met Ren Xiaoyao once, Ye Qingyan.
Ye Qingyan's appearance was like a breeze, with a faint floral scent, refreshing. "My fellow heroes, Ye Qingyan came here to congratulate you on surviving the disaster and gaining more good friends." Her words were gentle, but with a hint of seriousness that was hard to detect.
Ren Xiaoyao smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said, "It is really unexpected that Miss Ye came to visit so late at night. I wonder if Miss Ye needs any service from us?"
Ye Qingyan shook her head slightly, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: "To be honest, I tracked the man in black here, and wanted to kill him as soon as possible, but he escaped. This man is highly skilled in martial arts and ruthless. If you hadn't shown up in time, I'm afraid the consequences would be disastrous."
Shen Moxuan heard this with a serious expression: "Miss Ye is right. This person obviously has a deep hatred for us. We need to be more careful in the future."
Su Wenyuan asked with concern: "Is it too dangerous for Miss Ye to follow here alone? If you need us in the future, we will definitely help you."
Murong Xue also nodded in agreement: "Miss Ye, the world is dangerous, and fighting alone is bound to suffer losses. It is better to join us and plan great things together."
Ye Qingyan was touched when she heard this. She said softly, "I am grateful for your kindness. In this case, let's go hand in hand and go to the arena together. No matter what happens, we will never leave each other."
The four were excited when they heard this. They knew that another powerful partner had joined their ranks. Although the road ahead was unknown, with each other's company, everything would become less difficult.
Ren Xiaoyao said loudly: "Miss Ye, the four of us swear here that no matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we will fight side by side and jointly protect the peace of this world!"
Ye Qingyan, Shen Moxuan, Su Wenyuan and Murong Xue responded at the same time: "We will remember it!"
The oath echoed in the night sky, like an invisible bond, tightly connecting the five young hearts. They knew that from this moment on, they were no longer lonely warriors who ventured into the world alone, but had reliable companions to face the challenges and opportunities of the future together.
In this world full of unknowns and hope, they will go hand in hand and write their own legendary chapters, which will be remembered by future generations and become a story that will be passed down through the ages.
At this moment, the five people smiled at each other, their hearts full of longing and expectation for the future. They knew that this was just the beginning, and the real adventure in the rivers and lakes had just begun. Just as the five people were immersed in the infinitely beautiful vision of the future, a cold laugh suddenly came from the depths of the forest, interrupting this rare tranquility. The voice was like a ghost in the valley, making people feel a chill involuntarily. Ren Xiaoyao frowned and said in a deep voice: "This laugh is not good, everyone be careful."
Ye Qingyan also became alert. Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and she quickly scanned the surrounding dense forests. "The sound seems to come from that direction," she pointed to a dense forest, "It should be the accomplice of the man in black."
Shen Moxuan nodded and drew the long sword from his waist. The tip of the sword reflected the moonlight and looked particularly sharp. "Since they have come to our door, we don't need to be polite. We can just fight it out."
Su Wenyuan and Murong Xue also tightened their weapons, and the four of them formed a circle, protecting Ye Qingyan in the middle, forming an offensive and defensive formation. Although Ye Qingyan was very skilled, this kind of protection was necessary when the enemy's strength was unknown.
As the laughter got closer, several dark shadows finally emerged from the woods, led by a masked man in black, his eyes full of hatred and greed. Behind him followed four followers dressed in the same manner, all with hideous faces and holding various weapons, clearly well prepared.
"It seems that you are not afraid of death." The man in black said coldly, with sarcasm in his voice.
Ren Xiaoyao showed no sign of weakness and stepped forward, "We are not afraid of death, but we will not let you succeed easily. Tell us your purpose, otherwise don't blame us for being ruthless!"
The man in black sneered, "Purpose? It's very simple, it's the thing in your hand. Hand it over, and maybe I can consider letting you go."
"What?" Ren Xiaoyao asked knowingly. He knew exactly what the other party was referring to, but he had no intention of giving in easily.
"Stop playing dumb!" The man in black shouted angrily, and suddenly leaped forward. The long sword in his hand turned into a cold light and pierced Ren Xiaoyao's chest.
Ren Xiaoyao moved to one side, the long sword in his hand was like a spirit snake coming out of a hole, accurately blocking the attack of the man in black. At the same time, Shen Moxuan and others also took action and tangled with the followers of the man in black. The battle broke out instantly, the swords crossed, the wind whistled, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Ye Qingyan was light and lithe, wandering on the battlefield like a ghost. Her every strike was accurate, and wherever the tip of her sword pointed, the enemy would retreat. Murong Xue's double blades danced like the wind, and every swing could bring up a blood mist; Su Wenyuan was as steady as a mountain, and every block could resolve the enemy's fierce attack.
The battle lasted for a while, and the man in black and his followers gradually showed signs of fatigue. Ren Xiaoyao seized the opportunity and killed the man in black with a sword, forcing him into a desperate situation. Seeing that he was doomed to fail, the man in black let out a desperate roar and tried to make a last stand, but was pierced through the heart by Ren Xiaoyao's sword, completely losing the power to resist.
After the battle, the five of them stood on the battlefield, surrounded by a mess. Ye Qingyan asked softly, "What should we do next?"
Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath, his eyes determined, "We will continue to move forward, to find the truth, to expose the evil hidden in the dark. As long as we unite as one, there is nothing we cannot overcome."
Shen Moxuan, Su Wenyuan, Murongxue and Ye Qingyan responded in unison: "We will be with you, to the ends of the earth!"
Ren Xiaoyao smiled and nodded. He knew that there might be countless challenges and difficulties waiting for them along the way, but as long as the five of them fought side by side, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.
"Okay, let's set out again and move towards light and justice!" Ren Xiaoyao's voice echoed in the night sky with immense confidence and courage.
The five people smiled at each other, their hearts full of expectations and faith for the future. They knew that as long as they relied on each other, they could cross thousands of mountains and rivers and write their own glorious legend.
And this journey has just begun...
Just as the five were preparing to move on, packing their bags and leaving the bloody battlefield, suddenly, a strange flute sound came from afar, penetrating the night, as if it had the power to capture people's hearts. Ye Qingyan's face changed. She had heard that there was an evil martial art in the world that could control people's hearts with music and make people insane. "This flute sound is not right, everyone cover your ears, don't let it affect your mind!" She shouted anxiously.
Ren Xiaoyao and the others immediately followed his words, but the sound of the flute seemed to have life, following closely and making it difficult to get rid of it. Shen Moxuan was the first to be hit. His steps began to stagger, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. It was obvious that his will had begun to waver. "Brother Shen, hold on!" Su Wenyuan shouted, holding up the shaky Shen Moxuan, and using his internal strength to build a barrier for him.
Murong Xue gritted her teeth and danced the double blades in her hands faster, as if she wanted to resist the strange flute sound in this way. However, the flute sound seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and every turn just touched everyone's weakness, causing waves in their hearts.
Ren Xiaoyao was anxious. He knew that if the source could not be found as soon as possible, the five of them would be in danger. He closed his eyes, concentrated his mind and tried to block the influence of the flute sound with his inner breath. At this moment, he suddenly felt a warm force surging into his body. It was Ye Qingyan's inner force. She was passing her true energy to him to help him resist the force that eroded his mind.
