Shenwu Yutianlei
Chapter 18 Attacked
The carriage went farther and farther away, and Shen Batian stood quietly on the wall of Liucheng. His eyes followed Shen Yun closely, as if he wanted to deeply imprint his son's figure in his heart. His face was full of worry and reluctance, and his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he remained silent in the end.
Zhao Zhong on the side advised respectfully: "Master, go back. With the protection of the young lady and Li Xiangyun, the young master will be safe." He patted Shen Batian's shoulder gently, his eyes revealing concern for his master.
Shen Batian nodded slightly and said softly: "Well, Lao Zhao, you should pay more attention to Yun'er's situation in the future. If there is anything missing, you can arrange for someone to deliver it." There was a hint of hoarseness in his voice, as if he was suppressing his inner emotions.
Zhao Zhong quickly responded: "Yes, master. Don't worry, I will take good care of the young master." He looked up at Shen Batian, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
Shen Batian turned around slowly, his steps seemed a little heavy. His back looked particularly lonely in the sun, as if he was carrying the weight of the whole world. Zhao Zhong followed him silently, secretly praying for the young master's safe return.
The carriage had been moving forward for three hours. The horse pulling the carriage was a Feiying Bear Horse, which had a trace of demon beast blood in its body. This kind of horse was tall and graceful, with smooth fur as black as night. Feiying Bear Horse inherited the strength and agility of the demon beast. Its running speed was as fast as lightning, surpassing the limit of ordinary horses. Therefore, in just three hours, Shen Yun and his party were already a hundred miles away from Liucheng.
Outside the carriage, ten guards were riding on their horses in high spirits, vigilantly observing the situation around them, guarding the carriage from all directions to ensure the safety of the journey.
The marching team was unusually quiet. Apart from the rhythmic "clacking" sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground, the only sound was Li Xiangyun's smacking of his lips.
Li Xiangyun rode on the horse, his body swaying slightly, looking a little lazy. He held a wine gourd tightly in his hand, and from time to time he raised it to his mouth and took a sip carefully. Every time he drank, his eyes would narrow slightly, as if he was enjoying the mellow taste of the wine.
Li Xiangyun's face was filled with satisfaction. He felt that his current life was extremely comfortable. He had food and drink, and no longer had to run around every day to suppress the poisonous fire in his body. He couldn't help but think of the past days, which were miserable. In comparison, the present was like heaven. Thinking of this, Li Xiangyun took another sip of wine and sighed with satisfaction.
His eyes were blurred and relaxed, as if he was already intoxicated by the tranquility and beauty of the moment. The wind blew his hair, but he ignored it and was just immersed in his own thoughts and the aroma of wine.
In the carriage, Shen Yun lay on his side, his body relaxed, his head gently resting on Liu Yingyue's thigh. He closed his eyes slightly, seeming to enjoy this moment of tranquility.
"My dear, do you want to stop and take a rest?" Shen Yun broke the silence, his voice revealing a hint of laziness. He opened his eyes and looked at Liu Yingyue, his eyes full of tenderness. Liu Yingyue smiled and responded: "What? My dear, are you tired?" Her voice was soft and concerned. She gently stroked Shen Yun's hair, her eyes full of love.
Suddenly, a sharp "whoosh" sound interrupted their conversation. Shen Yun sat up suddenly with a look of surprise on his face. Liu Yingyue was also startled and could not help but hold Shen Yun's arm tightly.
"Ah!" A scream came from the front. A guard at the fourth level of Qi training at the front of the team was shot by an arrow and fell off his horse.
Then, a shout was heard: "Enemy attack!"
"Everyone, move closer to the carriage and protect the young master!" Li Xiangyun quickly put away the wine pot, drove the horse forward, and walked to the front of the team with a serious expression. He stared ahead, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
Three people walked out slowly in front of them, all wearing black scarves and masks, and their faces could not be seen clearly. They were tall and fierce, blocking the team's way. Li Xiangyun looked carefully and his heart sank. The three people in front of him, two were in the ninth level of Qi training, and one was in the eighth level of Qi training, all looked like they were coming with bad intentions.
Li Xiangyun lowered his voice and introduced himself: "Who are you in front of us and why are you blocking our way? Do you know that you are blocking the team of Liucheng Shen family?" There was a hint of majesty in his voice, trying to intimidate the other party.
The three people on the opposite side were not moved at all. One of them replied coldly: "We want the people of the Shen family. We are here today to send you off."
Li Xiangyun's heart tightened. The other party's purpose was so clear, and it was obvious that they came prepared. He thought to himself that the other party's strength was obviously stronger than his own.
At this time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Shen Yun and his wife walked out. Shen Yun had a solemn expression on his face, and his intuition told him that the three people today must have come for him.
Li Xiangyun looked at Shen Yun, and his heart softened. These days, Shen Yun had treated him well, and Shen Batian had not looked down on him because of his decline in cultivation. He secretly made up his mind that if it was really impossible, he would save this kid even if he risked being attacked by the poisonous fire.
Li Xiangyun, you have no relationship with this guy. If you retreat now, we can let you go safely, considering that it is not easy for you to practice. "The masked man in the lead stared at Li Xiangyun with sharp eyes, and there was a hint of threat in his voice.
Hearing this, Shen Yun's eyes instantly turned to Li Xiangyun. He stared at Li Xiangyun closely, with complex emotions in his eyes, both expectations for him and a hint of doubt. He thought to himself: If Li Xiangyun chooses to stay now, after experiencing this battle, they can become family members who share life and death; but if he chooses to retreat, it can be regarded as letting him see his true face in advance. However, judging from the current situation, if Li Xiangyun is really such a person, it may be a good thing to let him leave early.
The three masked men on the opposite side seemed to be confident in their own strength. They stared at Shen Yun and others with eager eyes, as if they had already won.
At this moment, a disdainful smile appeared on Li Xiangyun's face. He laughed heartily, and his voice echoed in the air: "Hahaha, do you underestimate me, Li Xiangyuan? A real man is born in the world, and he has his own ways to do and his own ways not to do. If I were in my prime, I could kill you three little thieves with just one slap."
His words were full of determination and confidence, which shocked everyone. He straightened his body, with a firm light in his eyes, as if showing his determination to the other party.
Shen Yun was moved by Li Xiangyun's reaction. He was a little worried at first, but when he saw Li Xiangyun reject the provocation without hesitation, his doubts gradually dissipated. Li Xiangyun's determination gave him more confidence in this battle.
Liu Yingyue's eyes also showed her admiration for Li Xiangyun. She gently shook Shen Yun's hand, signaling him not to worry.
Li Xiangyun turned to face the Shen family's guards and shouted loudly: "Everyone, we may face a strong enemy today, but we must not retreat. Let us fight side by side to protect the young master's safety!" His voice was passionate, inspiring everyone's morale.
The guards responded one after another, gripping their weapons tightly and ready for the upcoming battle.
