Daqin: The beginning of the collapse of the sky, sweeping across the Western Regions

The guard's eyes widened as he saw Yan Lingji's exquisite face, charming smile, and her alluring body curves.

In an instant, he was conquered by Yan Lingji's beauty and completely forgot his mission.

He stood there, motionless, as if time had stopped.

However, just a moment later, the guard suddenly came to his senses and realized his previous gaffe.

He cursed his own stupidity in his heart and bit his tongue hard, hoping to regain consciousness through the pain.

With a stinging pain, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and the smell of blood filled the air.

The painful stimulation made the guard wake up immediately.

"hateful!"

He cursed in a low voice, his voice full of self-blame and regret.

He knew he couldn't waste any more time and had to complete the task as soon as possible.

So he quickly adjusted his posture, held the bow firmly in his hand, and aimed in the direction of Yan Lingji.

He took a deep breath and prepared himself for the upcoming challenge.

At this moment, Yan Lingji keenly sensed something strange.

She felt a strong threat approaching, so she immediately dodged to the side.

Her movements were lightning fast, graceful and flexible, like a dance.

Her long hair fluttered in the air, exuding a faint fragrance.

"so close……"

Yan Lingji panted lightly, her heartbeat quickened, her eyes wide open, looking around vigilantly.

She didn't know where the danger came from, but she could feel the enemy's breath getting closer.

Yan Lingji decided to take the initiative. She jumped up lightly and rushed in one direction.

She was extremely fast, like a burning phoenix, and disappeared into the night in an instant.

The guard breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Yan Lingji leave.

He secretly thanked God that he was not discovered, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

However, he did not let down his guard and still held the bow and arrow tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any possible situation.

Almost at the same time, an arrow shot out from the guard's bow and flew towards Yan Lingji with a sharp whistling sound.

The arrow was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning, making it impossible to dodge.

However, Yan Lingji's reaction was beyond ordinary people. She turned sideways just in time to avoid the direct attack of the arrow.

The arrow grazed her hair, leaving a tiny scorch mark.

There was a flash of anger in Yan Lingji's eyes, and she glared at the guards with anger in her eyes.

She knew that the attack was no accident but was deliberate.

She decided not to tolerate such provocative behavior any longer and was determined to find out who was behind it and give them the punishment they deserved.

However, fate did not seem to be on her side.

Unfortunately, there was a stone hidden deep under her feet, which caused her to slip accidentally while turning her body to avoid it.

This small mistake instantly broke her balance, making it impossible for her body to completely avoid the arrow's trajectory.

At this moment, Yan Lingji felt a sharp pain in her ankle. The arrow ruthlessly cut through her skin, leaving a big cut.

Blood gushed out from the wound, staining her white skirt red.

Her face turned pale, her brows were tightly furrowed, and she looked painful.

At the same time, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, as if she couldn't believe that she would be injured at such a critical moment.

The guard watched this scene, feeling both the joy of success and the guilt of hurting such a beautiful woman.

However, he was well aware that he had a heavy responsibility and could not be swayed by personal emotions.

So, without hesitation, he drew his bow again and prepared to shoot the second arrow.

At the same time, he was vigilantly observing Yan Lingji's next move to prevent her from launching a counterattack.

Yan Lingji covered the wound with her hand, feeling the pain.

There was a flash of anger in her eyes, but more of it was unyielding and determination.

Despite her injured ankle, she was unwilling to give up easily.

She tried her best to keep her balance, her eyes flashing with anger.

She knew that she had to find a way to deal with the crisis at this moment, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

She knew that she had to treat the wound as soon as possible, otherwise she would be in a more dangerous situation.

At the same time, her eyes became cold. She would not let a guard's attack become the reason for her failure.

After seeing Yan Lingji being shot by an arrow, the guard's face did show a hint of joy.

He realized this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he knew he couldn't waste this moment.

His heart was filled with nervousness and excitement, because he knew that he might have just changed the entire situation of the battle.

The guard moved quickly, a determined look on his face. He drew his bow and prepared to fire again.

His hands were shaking slightly, but this time it was no longer because of fear, but because of excitement and strength.

His eyes were fixed on Yan Lingji, observing her every move, ready to react immediately if she made any counterattack.

Yan Lingji felt the pressure coming from the guards, and she knew she couldn't underestimate the enemy.

Her hand was still tightly covering the wound, and blood flowed down her fingers, forming thin scarlet streams.

However, despite being seriously injured, her eyes were full of determination and resolution, as if telling people that she would never give in easily.

She stared at the guard in front of her, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Obviously, she was thinking about what action she should take next to deal with the crisis at hand.

The guards knew very well that they could not give Yan Lingji any chance to breathe, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

So he took a deep breath, tried to calm his inner tension, and pulled the bow in his hand again.

With a "whoosh" sound, the second arrow flew out like lightning, aiming directly at Yan Lingji.

However, this time Yan Lingji did not choose to dodge, but faced the incoming arrow head-on.

Just as the arrow was about to hit her, her body suddenly moved at an astonishing speed, like a phantom.

Her arm swung out like a flexible whip, accurately knocking down the arrow.

The whole action was done in one go, so fast that it was hard to follow.

The guard saw this scene and couldn't help but widen his eyes with astonishment. He never expected that in such an unfavorable situation, Yan Lingji could still make such a swift and accurate counterattack.

Only then did he realize that he had underestimated Yan Lingji's true strength.

At the same time, he became more and more vigilant and did not dare to relax at all.

Yan Lingji stared at the guards coldly, with an indomitable light in her eyes.

Her determined eyes seemed to declare to the enemy: no matter how great the difficulties she faced, she would not give up resistance!

She knew that the battle was far from over and she had to keep fighting until the very end.

The guard also understood that he was facing a real challenge and he had to do his best to save his life.
