Courtyard House: My Long and Hard Body Makes Me Play with All the Women in the Courtyard

Meanwhile, only three people remained to await the enemy—Su Ting, Liu Yan, and the mysterious yet valiant masked youth. The three kept their eyes fixed on the approaching enemy ranks, each lost in their own thoughts.

"Are you sure this is the right choice?" Su Ting turned to look at his friend beside him, his tone tinged with worry.

Liu Yan smiled gently, her eyes gleaming with unyielding light. "There is no other choice. We cannot let everyone sacrifice in vain."

The masked youth nodded slightly, the longsword in his hand ringing out. "In that case, let's fight to the very end together," he said in a deep voice, every word revealing unwavering determination.

After exchanging a glance, Su Ting took a deep breath, adjusting his mindset to prepare for the upcoming challenge. Just as they were about to engage in battle, the shouts of scattered villagers echoed from all around, mingled with fear and resentment—clearly, the enemy had discovered their dispersed strategy and was attempting to pursue the weaker members of their group.

"Oh no, they've been targeted!" Su Yan's expression changed drastically.

“Don’t worry,” the masked youth calmly analyzed, “The purpose of splitting up was to draw some of the enemy’s attention, and it seems to be working well. We just need to hold off the rest and buy time for the others.”

Having said that, he quickly stepped forward, assuming a fighting stance. Su Ting, not to be outdone, drew the blade from his back and stood beside him. Liu Yan gripped her two daggers tightly, her eyes fixed firmly on the approaching enemy figure.

Just then, Old Wang from the village suddenly appeared, panting, and returned to the three of them. "Run! I'm here to help!" the old man said urgently, his voice filled with worry and reluctance. "The children have all been safely evacuated; please, you must save your lives!"

Hearing this, a warm feeling welled up in the hearts of the three. But Su Ting shook his head firmly, "Uncle, you leave here first, leave the rest to us."

"But..." Old Wang hesitated, tears glistening in the corners of his eyes.

"Don't worry, we'll protect everyone," Liu Yan comforted, gently patting the old man's trembling arm. "You should go now, don't let Amin and the others' efforts be in vain."

Left with no other choice, Old Wang could only nod and turn to run away. Behind him, three young warriors were already facing the approaching danger, preparing to fight with all their might.

"Are you ready for the final challenge?" the masked youth asked in a low voice, a faint smile playing on his lips.

“Of course,” Su Ting replied, his voice filled with determination. “For everyone to survive, we must fight to the very end!”

The three stood side by side, seemingly forming an inseparable whole. As the first wave of enemies rushed into view, the fierce battle finally began…

As the villagers scattered and fled, each sought hiding places. A young boy hid behind a large tree, secretly watching what had just happened. "Those older brothers and sisters are so brave!" he thought to himself, his eyes filled with both fear and admiration.

Chapter 704 Hidden Weapons

Another, slightly older girl held her younger brother's hand tightly as they walked through the grass. "You must believe that your brother and the others will return safely!" she whispered, her words filled with courage, yet unable to conceal her inner unease.

Meanwhile, the three who remained behind to hold off the enemy were fighting with all their might. Although the situation was extremely tense at times, they gradually gained the upper hand through their excellent teamwork and fearless courage. However, at that moment, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky, and a bolt of lightning ripped across the horizon—

"Watch out from above!" Liu Yan shouted a warning, while simultaneously raising her hand to block a hidden weapon coming from the air.

"Damn it, there are enemies who can use bows and arrows!" The masked youth immediately realized and quickly adjusted his position to protect his two companions.

Just when they thought the situation had stabilized somewhat, a strange chanting sound suddenly came from not far away...

"What's that sound?" Su Ting asked alertly, his brow furrowed. "Could there be other enemies?"

The chanting gradually became clearer, as if some mysterious power was gathering. The surrounding air seemed to subtly change with the sound, creating an indescribable sense of oppression and unease.

"I don't know, but they're definitely not good people." The masked youth's gaze sharpened as he warily scanned his surroundings, trying to pinpoint the source of the voice. "We must be on high alert, just in case."

“Yes, we’ve done our best to buy time,” Liu Yan nodded in agreement. “However, the situation seems to have become more complicated now.”

Just as the three were dealing with the situation tensely, suddenly, a villager poked his head out from the nearby woods and shouted in great fear, "Look over there!"

Following his finger, everyone looked and saw a group of people dressed in strange attire slowly walking towards them in the distance. The leader held a staff and was surrounded by a faint blue light, clearly casting some kind of spell.

The villagers who had gathered to watch exclaimed in amazement:

"This is... a magician?"

"I heard they can summon wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. That's incredibly powerful!"

"Oh no, are we in big trouble?"

A growing tension filled the air. Then, the masked youth broke the silence: "Regardless of their identities, our mission is to protect the safety of the innocent people on this land. Prepare for battle!"

Su Ting nodded, then said loudly, "That's right, we can't let these guys hurt anyone!"

In the blink of an eye, a dazzling light suddenly erupted from the enemy camp, followed by a thick bolt of lightning that appeared out of nowhere and struck Su Ting, who was at the forefront of the battle. At the critical moment, Liu Yan shoved Su Ting aside, but she herself was almost injured by the intense light.

"Thank you, Liu Yan!" Su Ting said gratefully, while quickly adjusting his position to block another attack for her.

"Don't be so polite, we're all companions." Liu Yan forced a smile, but her eyes clearly revealed a hint of fatigue.

At the same time, the mages began to accelerate their approach, clearly not intending to give the three any chance to catch their breath.

"We must find a breakthrough," the masked youth calmly analyzed. "If possible, it would be best to find the controller and defeat them directly."

Chapter 705 Searching for the Magic Stone

Just as the three were preparing to act, a strange voice rang out again from not far away: "Heroes, please put down your weapons and listen to me for a moment."

As the words fell, an elderly man in a white robe slowly walked out of the crowd. He had a smile on his face, giving people a feeling of warmth and trust.

Seeing this, the surrounding crowd began to discuss it:

"Who is he? He looks really impressive."

"We hope this senior can help us."

"Perhaps, as he said, the two sides can resolve this peacefully?"

As the old man approached, Su Ting and the others remained vigilant, but still gave him a chance to explain his purpose. "May I ask who you are?"

"Greetings, I am a monk here named Yun Youzi," the old man replied politely. "Actually, the intruders did not come with malicious intent, but were forced to commit the crime under some kind of manipulation..."

"What do you mean?" Liu Yan frowned slightly, still harboring doubts.

Just then, the masked youth who had been silent suddenly interrupted their conversation. "Excuse me for interrupting," he said coldly, "Although I don't know if what you said is true, the current situation clearly does not allow us to continue our conversation."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a commotion arose behind them. Turning around, they saw that the retreating enemies had regrouped, clearly having discovered their presence and launching a new attack.

Faced with this sudden situation, Yun Youzi said with a solemn expression, "It seems time is of the essence, and there's no time for a detailed discussion. But I do know a way to resolve this crisis..."

"Then tell us quickly!" Su Ting urged impatiently.

"Only by finding and destroying the magic stone hidden in the mountain can the problem be completely solved," Yun Youzi replied. "But it is heavily guarded and not easy to approach."

“Leave it to us,” the masked youth said firmly. “We will do our best no matter what.”

"Then, I'll leave everything to you all." The old man bowed slightly to express his gratitude. "Please be sure to act carefully."

After speaking, Yun Youzi quickly disappeared into the night, leaving behind the heroes who were full of doubts but had no choice but to continue on their way.

What challenges will they face next? Will they be able to successfully resolve this crisis? All the answers will be revealed slowly on the unknown road ahead…

Just as the three were preparing to set off for the mountains to search for the magic stone, a sudden clap of thunder resounded in the sky, causing the entire forest to tremble—

"What's going on?" Su Ting asked, puzzled, while gripping his weapon more tightly.

Just as the three were wondering what was going on, a beam of light descended from the sky, landing not far from them and gradually forming a figure. It was a woman dressed in silver armor, holding a long sword, her eyes gleaming with determination.

The surrounding crowd began to discuss the matter upon seeing this:

Wow! Have new people joined again?

"This woman looks amazing!"

"Hopefully she's here to help us."

Su Ting and Liu Yan also seemed somewhat surprised, but the masked youth remained vigilant, his sharp gaze fixed on the mysterious woman. "Who are you? Why are you here?" he asked coldly, yet politely.

The silver-armored woman smiled slightly and replied, "I am a member of the Knights of the Apocalypse, named Su Ting. I have come here because I sensed the evil aura emanating from the magic stone." Her voice was gentle yet powerful, inspiring trust in those around her.

Chapter 706 A captivating story.

Liu Yan looked at Su Ting and asked softly, "You said you could help us? But that magic stone is really dangerous..."

"Don't worry, as long as we work together, there's no difficulty we can't overcome," Su Ting comforted, while gently raising the longsword in his hand. "Moreover, I have special sensory abilities that can guide you to the right direction."

Upon hearing this, Su Ting, who had been somewhat hesitant, was immediately filled with confidence: "Great! This greatly increases our chances of winning!"

Although the masked youth still had some reservations, he nodded in agreement: "In that case, let's set off."

So the four of them set off together, following the direction Su Ting had indicated. Occasionally, they could hear the low roars of monsters in the distance, which made their hearts clench.

Several curious children quietly followed behind them, but were stopped in time by an old woman, who said, "Children, go back quickly, it's too dangerous there."

"But Grandma... I want to see how the hero defeats the bad guys," Su Ting said coquettishly, blinking her eyes.

"Sweetie, just wait at home. I'm sure those young people will come back safely and tell us wonderful stories~" The old man patted the little girl's head affectionately.

Soon after entering the dense forest, the group indeed encountered their first challenge: a huge monster was blocking their path, emanating a terrifying aura.

"How can this thing be so big..." Liu Yan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Don't be afraid, leave it to me." With that, Su Ting rushed forward and engaged the giant beast in battle. He wielded his sword with lightning speed, leaving wound after wound on its opponent.

The other three companions also came to their aid. After a fierce battle, the group finally defeated him. Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they suddenly heard someone calling for help not far away—

"Help! Someone, please save us..."

They turned out to be people imprisoned and awaiting sacrifice. Su Ting and his companions immediately went to rescue these innocent people, demonstrating their exceptional skills in the process and winning the respect and support of many.

The liberated people were moved to tears:
