Naturally, Ji Fu would not let her future husband die. While Ren Yuanhao dodged left and right, she was not idle. Her sharp eyes scanned the movements of the seven attackers, and she found a flaw in their seven-star formation!
“Ren Yuanhao, Greedy Wolf and Ju Que positions are their weak points, meaning that white-browed man and the short one. Their swordsmanship is not refined, and their movements are a bit sluggish. Find the right moment to break through!”
Ren Yuanhao was not stupid. His earlier evasions were merely probes. Now, with Ji Fu’s words, he felt enlightened.
“Here they come!” Ji Fu’s voice was like the sharp cut of ice and snow.
Ren Yuanhao retreated rapidly, picking up a withered pine branch as he did. The men in the Greedy Wolf and Ju Que positions thought Ren Yuanhao was forced to retreat by them, and they felt immensely pleased. They understood even more clearly that as long as they could force back that brat Ren Yuanhao, the men in the Lu Cun and Lian Zhen positions would surely intercept him from the sides and cut him down!
However, Ren Yuanhao suddenly reversed his internal energy, like a car drifting around a corner. With a twist of his foot, he instantly rotated ninety degrees counter-clockwise with an unfathomably strange movement. The two men, unable to stop their momentum, were about to collide with the men in the Lu Cun and Lian Zhen positions!
“Silly boy, you’re not entirely clueless after all. It’s time to fight back.”
As soon as Ji Fu finished speaking, Ren Yuanhao suddenly exploded with power. His internal energy flowed from his dantian through several acupoints, rapidly converging in his right hand. Where his qi flowed, even grass and trees became sharp blades. He leaped into the air and flicked his wrist downwards. The withered branch, as if weighing over 200 catties, struck the nape of the Greedy Wolf and Ju Que duo’s necks, causing them to vomit a mouthful of blood and collapse to the ground like mud, their fate unknown.
The Lu Cun and Lian Zhen duo witnessed this drastic change with their own eyes, and a flicker of fear immediately flashed in their pupils. Ren Yuanhao certainly would not let go of this excellent opportunity to counterattack. His internal energy surged out, and the withered branch once again swung towards their throats like a heavy club!
The two men felt a fierce wind rushing towards them. In their haste, their footing became chaotic, and their movements were already disordered. They could only instinctively raise their short sabers, thinking that the withered branch in Ren Yuanhao’s hand was merely a dead branch and wood, how could it contend with the sharp blades in their hands?
However, their thoughts were immediately and brutally slapped with a resounding resounding slap of reality. They only saw the withered branch in his hand as just a withered branch, completely unable to understand that Ren Yuanhao’s qi had already attached itself to it!
The moment they made contact, the two felt their tiger’s mouth go numb, as if they had collided with a hard and sharp weapon. Not only did their short sabers fly out of their hands due to their lack of preparation, but they also felt a powerful force like surging waves crashing against a shore, and their throats were immediately subjected to a fierce attack.
With just one opening, Ren Yuanhao effortlessly fought four opponents, displaying not only a strange body technique but also ferocious internal energy and decisive strikes. Anyone else would likely not be able to listen to another’s advice in a state of defeat, trust it unconditionally, and execute it with such a high degree of perfection, taking down four men in mere moments!
Within seconds, the situation had drastically changed. Not only were the enemies watching with trembling hearts, but even Ji Fu’s heart pounded like a drum. Her embraced body became softer, and Ren Yuanhao’s masculine aura was like the most wonderful scent in the world, making her feel as if she were in the clouds with every breath.
“It’s over, it’s over. I think I’ve fallen in love. What should I do?”
Ji Fu’s cheeks flushed, but fortunately, Ren Yuanhao beside her did not notice.
“With four fewer members in the seven-star formation, shouldn’t you call it the ‘Three Hearts, Two Minds’ formation? Anyway, you’ll lose another one soon.”
Ji Fu giggled, her smile as bright as a flower.
“Miss Ji, I told you not to get involved in this mess. If you get hurt later, don’t blame me for being heartless!”
The leader of the men suddenly rushed forward several steps, forming an equilateral triangle with the other two, their flanks covering each other. Although not as complex and changeable as the seven-star formation, it was a solid combat formation with integrated offense and defense!
“Hey, silly boy, they’re planning to fight a war of attrition with you. I didn’t expect that the Matriarch of the Jiang family, in order to get revenge, even handed over the ‘Three Purities One Qi Formation’ to you.”
“Hmph, if Miss Ji keeps staring at us like this, she’ll eventually spot our flaws. Since you insist on meddling, we’ll send you to the west right now!”
The three men moved like a spear, led by the man who spoke. Their three streams of qi merged into one, their aura even stronger than before.
“Take my life!”
The man charged at Ren Yuanhao first. He didn’t attack Ren Yuanhao with his short saber but aimed directly at Ji Fu’s head!
“Three men shamelessly bullying a woman. If I don’t make you taste some hardship, do you think I, Ren Yuanhao, am easily bullied?”
Ren Yuanhao forcefully circulated his true qi, and his dantian immediately began to rotate like a vortex. As the three men approached, they felt their blades being pulled by a magnetic force, instantly flying into Ren Yuanhao’s right hand!
Although the danger of the fatal blades was averted, the three men’s reactions were swift. Even without their sabers, they could have knocked Ji Fu away with their palm strikes. Just then, Ren Yuanhao suddenly turned around, completely enveloping Ji Fu in his embrace, exposing his back completely to the three men.
“Ren Yuanhao, you truly are a romantic. It’s a pity you’ll end up dying at our hands for a woman! Die!”
The three men activated their internal energy and struck Ren Yuanhao’s back simultaneously. However, Ren Yuanhao stood as firm as a mountain, completely unmoved. At the same time, his internal energy surged outwards, creating a reverse suction that expelled his qi outwards. The three men were sent flying backward, spitting blood!
Concurrently, Ji Fu’s face turned pale as she felt hot liquid dripping onto her face. Looking up, under the dim sky, Ren Yuanhao had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and his black garment was quickly soaked with hot blood.
“Quick, everyone attack together! That kid’s qi manipulation must have triggered his old injuries. He’s at the end of his rope. As long as we bring back his head, the family head’s revenge will be complete, and the money the Matriarch promised us will be enough for us to live the rest of our lives!”
Incited by the promise of money, the three men slowly rose from the ground, grabbed the sabers of their fallen comrades, and like a sharp spear, they began to tear at Ren Yuanhao’s back.
And just then, Ji Fu broke free from Ren Yuanhao’s embrace, intending to block the sabers with her own precious body. Unexpectedly, a dark shadow suddenly flashed forward, accompanied by a deafening roar!
“Damn it, who dares to hurt my brother!”
A black light danced like a swift electric current. In an instant, the arms of the three men were cleanly severed, and their blades were snapped into two. Ji Fu’s eyes fixed on the newcomer, who carried an ancient, slender black saber, standing proudly against the wind with an extraordinary aura. It was Liu Yu!
With the crisis averted, the tension in Ren Yuanhao instantly snapped. He leaned backward, spitting out another mouthful of blood. Liu Yu and Ji Fu quickly reached out to support him. Liu Yu said:
“Quick, send my brother back!”
