Rêve de Jiangshan

Chapitre 79

Ru Feng made a face, which eased the tense atmosphere.

************

At night, there was no moon in the sky, only a few scattered stars, and the earth was completely silent.

Ru Feng, dressed in the same black clothes and mask as before, cautiously followed behind Yu Xuan. At first, they circled around Tingzhou City several times, and only when Ru Feng was completely disoriented did they head straight for their destination.

Ru Feng sighed inwardly: Doing something without knowing the purpose is just so unsafe, worse than being a thief. At least a thief knows he's going to scout out and rob someone's house tonight, while he's just blindly following behind someone, only to strike when told to.

This is practically a typical extra or henchman role. When did I fall to this level?

Regardless of what Ru Feng was thinking, she still had to obediently follow behind Yu Xuan. Behind her was a line of people, and in front of her was another line of people.

Ru Feng was able to see in all directions and hear in all directions. Her internal strength was quite profound, so seeing in the night was not too difficult. The black-clad man following her seemed to be very powerful, quick in action, and highly organized. This reminded Ru Feng of Yun Tianze's servants, who were also well-trained.

After traveling for about half an hour, they finally arrived at a grove of trees outside the city. Yu Jue waved his hand, and the men in black quickly dispersed. Then, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man with some tools searched through the dark trees. He was described as an ordinary person because Ru Feng sensed that he lacked internal energy, but he seemed quite capable in other areas, which was why Yu Xuan valued him so much.

Ru Feng is currently unharmed. He glanced around and saw that there seemed to be no danger, but a tense atmosphere still permeated the surroundings.

Ru Feng's eyes scanned the woods, fearing that some fierce snake or something might jump out, and he always felt that something was wrong.

It was so quiet here. The only sound was the movement of the man in black, but even that sounded incredibly quiet in the still night.

Ru Feng was startled, and a thought flashed through her mind. She quickly pulled Yu Xuan over and said, "Yu Xuan, have you noticed that it's very quiet here? Something's not right. Why aren't there any insect chirping or anything like that?"

Yu Xuan's expression was not very clear in the darkness, but his voice, close to Ru Feng's ear, was very clear: "Because this forest is very strange, it is said that there is never any sound in it."

Ru Feng finally calmed down a little. She watched the actions of the men in black but didn't ask them what they were looking for.

Soon, a secret passage appeared on the ground. Ru Feng was surprised, and Yu Xuan's eyes lit up. He immediately sent someone in. After an unknown amount of time, just as Yu Xuan was getting impatient, someone finally appeared. The middle-aged man from before handed Yu Xuan a glowing bead, which Yu Xuan quickly covered with the fabric he had prepared beforehand.

In a fleeting glance, Ru Feng saw that the bead was as big as his fist. It wasn't a luminous pearl emitting a white glow, but rather a beautiful blue-purple light. Before Ru Feng could even think about what it was made of, just as he stepped out of the trees, a group of people, even larger than his own, appeared and stared at Ru Feng and his companions menacingly!

Ru Feng sighed, knowing things weren't that simple. How could they possibly let us retrieve the treasure so easily? There are many stories in this world where the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, but he never expected Yu Xuan to be the pitiful mantis.

Thinking of this, Ru Feng glanced at Yu Xuan and saw that he looked calm, so she felt relieved.

"Remember to seize the opportunity to run later, and be careful not to hurt yourself," Yu Xuan whispered in Ru Feng's ear.

Ru Feng nodded and said, "You should be careful too." Seeing that he didn't call her name, she didn't dare to say his name either.

Yu Xuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry."

While the two were whispering to each other, the leader of the other side had already become impatient. With a command, the sharp sound of swords being drawn rose and fell, the atmosphere was as tense as a mountain, and the tense confrontation was about to break out!

There was nothing more to say. Ru Feng knew that this fight was inevitable. She drew her silver sword and slashed through the air, a bright light flashing in the oppressive atmosphere.

Everyone was startled, already captivated by the swift sword.

Ru Feng's feet trembled slightly, but his voice was steady, with a slight hoarseness: "Am I really going to start killing people today?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xuan would have burst out laughing if it weren't for the serious and life-or-death situation. But a wave of bitterness washed over him; it was he who had put Ru Feng in this predicament.

Unfortunately, before Yu Xuan could say anything, the other party heard the signal and had already drawn their swords to attack.

Left with no other choice, Ru Feng had to raise her sword and stab in order to survive. As before, she didn't use any ruthless moves; instead, she targeted her opponent's vulnerable spots, all to render them incapable of fighting again. While keeping an eye on Yu Xuan's battle situation, fearing for his safety, Ru Feng engaged in combat with her enemies, her movements swift and unstoppable.

Yu Xuan was protected by men in black. He also raised his sword to stab, acting decisively and without the mercy of Ru Feng. Without hesitation, with the help of his subordinates, he sent the sharp tip of his sword into the other man's throat.

As Ru Feng watched over half the enemy, people kept falling, and people kept taking their place.

Ru Feng secretly pondered that this couldn't go on. Although some enemies had been dealt with, there weren't many of his own men left, making it quite difficult to retreat unscathed.

Looking at the opposing leader, who was watching the fight with his fists clenched, Ru Feng frowned. Even though he was highly skilled in martial arts, he couldn't withstand a prolonged battle of attrition. His physical strength and internal energy would eventually be exhausted, and that would probably be the day he and Yu Xuan died.

The only option now is to break through the encirclement and carve out a bloody path; only then will it be possible to escape.

Thinking of this, Ru Feng secretly paid attention to Yu Xuan's position. Suddenly, a cold sword light flashed in his hand, and a sharp whistling sound came. Immediately afterwards, surging light and shadow poured down like a torrential rain, pointing directly at the surrounding enemies.

With a series of sharp cracks, a circle of enemies were wounded by Ru Feng's sword energy and quickly fell down. Seeing this, Ru Feng quickly flew to the side, twisted his waist, and soon arrived next to Yu Xuan, standing side by side with him.

Are you alright?

Are you alright?

The two asked at the same time.

"fine!"

"fine!"

They answered at the same time.

Ru Feng smiled slightly, feeling much better, but the strong smell of blood splattered on him and around him made him increasingly uncomfortable. Seeing that his side was dwindling, Ru Feng grew anxious, and his swordplay became even more ferocious.

At this moment, the enemy leader leaped up, his body like a poisoned arrow, piercing straight into Ru Feng's back.

Yu Xuan saw it inadvertently and hurriedly shouted, "Be careful!" But his body involuntarily blocked Ru Feng's way.

Ru Feng was shocked, feeling a chill assail him. He quickly spun around, pressed down on Yu Xuan, and turned his back to the sword strike, giving the enemy an opening while his entire body was filled with internal energy.

In the blink of an eye, Yu Xuan let out a desperate cry.

With a snap, the leader fell to the ground in disbelief. Before he could even comprehend what was happening, a dart from Ru Feng's fingertips had already silently pierced his throat.
