For a moment, Duan Yanqing's face turned extremely pale, as if all the life and blood had been drained away, like a zombie that had just crawled out of a grave, which was chilling.

There was an indescribable eerie air in those deep-set eyes, which now flickered like a ghost fire in the dark night, intertwined with incredible astonishment and bottomless unwillingness.

His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but his throat was tightly strangled by an invisible force. Duan Yanqing, who claimed to be a great hero in the contemporary martial arts world, had a turbulent life.

He has gone through countless life and death tests, and each time he was able to overcome danger with his extraordinary strength and extraordinary wisdom.

Except for the last time when he was defeated by [Master Wuhen] Xu Changqing at the foot of Mount Zhongnan, he had never been so embarrassed, even when facing the famous leader of the Beggars' Sect, [Northern Qiao Feng] Qiao Feng.

Duan Yanqing was also able to deal with it with his profound internal strength and exquisite moves, and he never lost.

However, today's scene made Duan Yanqing feel unprecedented shock and frustration. A seemingly inconspicuous young man could force him, the leader of the "Four Evil Men" and the "full of evil", into such a desperate situation.

This was not only a questioning of his strength, but also a ruthless trampling of the self-confidence and dignity he had built up over the years. This sudden feeling of embarrassment made Duan Yanqing feel mixed emotions and difficult to accept.

Duan Yanqing's thoughts surged like the tide, and the thrilling scenes just now kept replaying in his mind. The figure of the young man gradually became blurry and clear in his eyes.

Every attack was extremely precise, and the power and ferocity of the moves were beyond his imagination. He had never expected that there would be such a young warrior in the world who could possess such terrifying strength.

At this moment, facing this ironclad fact, Duan Yanqing no longer had any room for doubt or hesitation.

Duan Yanqing knew very well that the young man in front of him was no ordinary person, and that the story and strength behind him must be extraordinary. He began to re-examine this opponent, trying to find clues from every subtle movement of the opponent.

"Could it be..."

Duan Yanqing's voice was low and full of doubt. He muttered to himself, as if he was talking to some corner deep in his heart. Complex emotions flickered in his deep eyes, including shock, confusion, and an indescribable shock.

His eyes were fixed on the young man in front of him, Xu Xingchen, a young man who looked ordinary but revealed an extraordinary temperament, Duan Yanqing thought secretly in his heart.

"Did this young man really only learn a few moves from Xu Changqing, Master Wuhen? Then why is his martial arts so advanced and unfathomable now?"

This question weighed heavily on Duan Yanqing's heart like a huge rock, making him feel extremely heavy and confused, because he knew very well that he had been immersed in martial arts for many years and his understanding of martial arts had reached perfection, but the scene before him completely overturned his cognition.

He began to doubt his own judgment and even began to question the rules and order of the entire martial arts world.

At that extremely tense moment, Xu Xingchen waved his hands as fast as lightning, preparing to perform the terrifying stunt from the "Secret Book of the Golden Snake" - [Golden Snake Cone].

This hidden weapon is not only famous for its unique shape, but also for the endless murderous intent it contains, which makes countless martial artists shudder. Duan Yanqing, the leader of the "Four Evil Men", has been injured and is afraid that he will find it difficult to resist.

When Yun Zhonghe saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel shocked. He knew very well that his boss Duan Yanqing had unfathomable strength, but he was still injured at this moment. This made him shocked and terrified.

At the same time, Ye Erniang and Yue Laosan, who were also injured not far away, looked at each other with disbelief written all over their faces. Although Ye Erniang, Yue Laosan and Yun Zhonghe were notorious in the world, they still had a huge friendship between them.

At this critical moment, Yun Zhonghe made a difficult decision. He gritted his teeth, his eyes revealed a look of determination, picked up Mu Wanqing who had been accidentally poisoned by his unique poison [Yin Yang He Huan San], and ran quickly to the river.

Every step seemed to carry a heavy burden, but Yun Zhonghe did not hesitate too much. When he reached the river bank, he stopped, turned to face Xu Xingchen who was about to use a hidden weapon, and shouted with all his strength.

"You little brat! If you want to save this beauty, go ahead and save her."

There was a hint of provocation, helplessness, and unspeakable pain in Yun Zhonghe's voice.

Before he finished speaking, Yun Zhonghe seemed to have made up his mind. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then exerted force suddenly, throwing Mu Wanqing in his arms into the turbulent river.

At that moment, Yun Zhonghe's heart seemed to be torn apart. How could he not feel pain when the beauty that was about to be in his hands was gone? But Yun Zhonghe understood that this was for the sake of the overall situation.

It was to buy a chance of survival for his boss Duan Yanqing, and also to protect the safety of himself and his brothers, but this sacrifice was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Yun Zhonghe.

When Xu Xingchen witnessed this scene, his heart suddenly tightened, as if he was hit by a sledgehammer. All his fighting will instantly vanished. Without hesitation, he retracted the [Golden Snake Cone] that was about to shoot at Duan Yanqing.

He exerted force with his feet, and the ground around him seemed to tremble. An indescribable power surged out from his body, which was derived from the peerless light skill recorded in the second volume of "Nine Yin Manual" - [Transfer through the Air].

This light skill is extremely mysterious and can change direction in an instant, as if traveling through the void. At this moment, Xu Xingchen's figure became extremely flexible, almost turning into an afterimage, and suddenly rushed forward at an astonishing speed.

At the same time, Xu Xingchen's heartstrings were tense to the extreme. He stretched out his hands forward with his palms slightly open, his eyes flashing with determination and resoluteness. He was ready to catch Mu Wanqing, who was unfortunately poisoned by Yun Zhonghe's unique aphrodisiac [Yin Yang He Huan San] at this critical moment.

However, the wheel of fate always seems to favor those twists and turns of plots. It mercilessly mocks human efforts and struggles. Although Xu Xingchen has tried his best to increase his speed to the limit, he still cannot escape that cruel one second difference.

In that thrilling moment, Mu Wanqing's delicate figure stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun. The unfortunate [Yin Yang He Huan Powder] was like an invisible shackle, tightly binding her originally tenacious soul.

Her delicate body swayed helplessly in the air, and every slight tremor seemed to silently tell of her inner struggle and despair. The light flickering in her beautiful eyes gradually changed from initial fear to deep worry about an unknown fate.

It is a fear that transcends life and death, and it is an endless attachment and reluctance to the impending departure of this beautiful world.

The air around seemed to be infected by this heavy emotion, becoming extremely heavy and sticky. Even the passage of time became slow and clearly perceptible. Mu Wanqing's fall was like a flower before withering.

Finally, she fell heavily into the raging, icy river below.

"Puff-"

A dull sound of water not only broke the tranquility of the river, but also splashed water, forming circles of ripples that continued to spread. They seemed to be telling the story of this sudden tragedy, and seemed to be elegying for Mu Wanqing's unfortunate fate.

"Puff-"

Following another dull sound of water, the river water seemed to be startled by the leap, and it set off waves of surging waves, carrying a force and chill that could not be underestimated, and raged around.

At that moment, Xu Xingchen showed no hesitation or intention of retreating. He resolutely jumped into the surging and icy river to save Mu Wanqing who was poisoned by Yun Zhonghe's [Yin Yang He Huan Powder].

As he entered the water, the water surface seemed to be ignited, and layers of delicate ripples appeared. They spread outward in circles and layers with the place where Xu Xingchen fell into the water as the center.

Like the rings of time, these ripples intertwine and collide with each other at this moment, and finally merge into a vast ocean of ripples, conveying this determination and fearlessness to every corner of the river.
