Both worlds are like dreams

Duan Yun's expression changed, "Why?"

"I didn't expect you to say such a thing. But I remind you, maybe it was God's will, fate was fickle, causing Mo Yunchen, who was supposed to be on the altar, to fall into hell. But do you really think I haven't seen the piles of bones buried in his secret room? He claims to be high and mighty, and he regards people as ants and lives as worthless. Every step he takes is on the blood of innocent people. He can't turn back. You shouldn't feel sorry for him. You can only choose to go on with him or leave him."

"I will not betray the prince."

"This is your principle." Xue Huang lowered her eyes and said meaningfully. "Everyone has their own principles."

Duan Yun understood what she meant, and quietly stepped back and closed the door for her.

Xue Huang sat alone by the bed to heal her wounds. She dripped a few drops of blood onto the gem, but Mu Guang still did not react.

It seems that this time, he was really seriously injured and couldn't even talk to her.

She stayed in the room for a day and a night, but Mo Yunchen did not come back.

Duan Yun didn't reveal anything to her, only telling her that everything would be foolproof and to put her mind at ease.

But Xue Huang couldn't sleep well. She had a bad feeling in her heart, so she kept meditating beside the bed.

It seemed to be snowing outside, the wind was howling, and it was extremely cold.

After an unknown amount of time, she heard the sound of fighting outside. She immediately stood up and grasped the hilt of the Qingshuang sword.

Sure enough, he still came.

The sounds of fighting were getting closer, and it seemed like there were quite a few people outside.

Just as Xue Huang was about to push the door open to go out, Duan Yun hurried in.

"Princess, come with me and leave here."

"Who sent this person?"

"I'm not sure. Logically speaking, it's impossible for Lu Jing to know the whereabouts of the princess. Princess, I'm sorry." After he finished speaking, he grabbed Xue Huang's wrist and took her out.

But after taking a few steps, he stopped and heard the sound of swords clashing. It was obvious that they were being caught up.

Xue Huang swung out a palm based on her feeling, hitting no one knew how many people she hit. Anyway, Duan Yun started to lead her forward again.

Judging from the sound, the other side has a lot of people, and the people left behind by Mo Yunchen may not be able to stop them.

"You can't escape with a blind me. We will be caught up soon."

"I will fight to the death to protect the princess and live up to the trust of the prince."

"But the reality is, even if you try your best, it will be useless." Xue Huang pulled him back and said, "Be my eyes."

"Princess?"

"Instead of waiting to die, it's better to give it a try."

"it is good."

Duan Yun brought her to a stop, and the pursuers behind them quickly rushed up. He stepped forward with a sword to buy time for Xue Huang.

It was snowing, which was the perfect time for Snow Phoenix's Mysterious Ice Curse.

Ice and snow grew, the ice condensed in an instant, and ice blades formed in the sky.

"Stand back." Xue Huang said.

Duan Yun stepped back immediately and saw that the entire courtyard was instantly frozen by a thick layer of ice, and the almost transparent ice blades shot out like an overwhelming force.

Wherever it passed, frost condensed, and the killers who pounced on it were frozen into ice sculptures in an instant.

With such terrifying killing power, no one dared to get close.

But the other party reacted quickly, drawing his bow and arrow in an instant, and countless arrows flew towards him.

"Princess, be careful." Duan Yun immediately swung his sword to knock down the rain of arrows shot towards them, then pulled Xue Huang to temporarily hide behind a rockery.

Xue Huang could only rely on her feeling to meet the attack with the ice blade again, but her vision was blocked, which greatly affected her accuracy.

Her arm was also scratched, but it was not serious. Instead, she felt that Duan Yun's right shoulder blade was pierced by an arrow.

Her arms and ribs were probably injured as well. She felt the cuts on her clothes, and everything around them was wet.

Xue Huang frowned. He had suffered this injury before he came to see her.

"Princess, you go first. They are cooperating with each other from far and near. We have no chance of winning."

First, use close combat to attract their attention, and then the archers in the distance take the opportunity to move. One is seriously injured and the other is invisible. How can they escape?

"Stop talking nonsense. Continue to be my eyes. Keep your bearings."

Duan Yunqiang pushed himself up and said, "The front is north, the back is south, the left is west, and the right is east. Northwest is in the middle."

Xue Huang immediately condensed the ice blade and manipulated it to attack. However, as soon as she made a move, more than a dozen arrows shot towards her. Xue Huang dodged in time, but her shoulder was still scratched.

"Due west and northwest." Duan Yun spoke again.

Xue Huang immediately gathered her inner strength and attacked again. She immediately felt a strong wind coming straight towards her face.

Duan Yun pulled her in time, and Xue Huang escaped again.

However, this time, the other party seemed to have seen through their intentions and came around the wall. They also seemed to know that the Snow Phoenix could not see, so their formation became more scattered.

"Southwest by south, southeast center." Duan Yun clenched the sword.

Xue Huang took action immediately to avoid being attacked from all sides.

She swung her palm, first freezing her opponent with extreme cold to restrict his movement, and then turned around to block the incoming arrow.

Duan Yun's right shoulder was injured and his arms were numb, so he was unable to block the rain of arrows.

The rockery where they were hiding was attacked continuously and could no longer hold out.

"Be careful." Duan Yun protected Xue Huang and crouched down.

Xue Huang pulled Duan Yun behind her, then struck the ground with her palm. In an instant, a row of ice spikes more than one person tall sprang out from the snow, temporarily replacing the rockery.

But her own neck was grazed by the arrow. If the ice spike had not touched the arrow tail at the moment it rose, causing its angle to deviate, the arrow would probably have pierced her chest.

Duan Yun's injuries had become even more serious, and Xue Huang could hear his suppressed cries of pain.

She reached out and touched him, only to find that his left arm and left calf were each hit by an arrow.

Now he can't leave.

The rain of arrows lasted for a long time before stopping, because the Snow Phoenix's ice was too hard and these arrows were completely useless.

She heard approaching footsteps and slowly stood up.

With the cold air lingering all around and snow swirling around, the only thing he could do was to fight for his life.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Xue Huang activated the Mysterious Ice Curse, and cold air and ice blades came out and all shot towards her. How many arrows she could shoot down depended entirely on luck.

The screams continued, but the footsteps became more and more frequent.

Xue Huang sighed slightly in her heart and circulated her internal energy again, but this time, the darkness in front of her eyes seemed to recede, and was replaced by a layer of white mist.

She blinked hard, and the white mist began to dissipate slowly. Then she saw a shadow approaching her quickly.

Xue Huang quickly struck out with her palm, and saw that the shadow avoided her palm power and appeared in front of her in an instant.

She wanted to strike out again, but the shadow had already grabbed her wrist. The next moment, she heard a familiar voice, "I'm back. It's okay."

Xue Huang was stunned for a moment, and her tense nerves relaxed, and she even seemed to have lost all strength.

She blinked, and Mo Yunchen's face became clear in front of her. Although it was still blurry, she could still see it clearly.

But she didn't say anything, because she saw the pain he felt for her in his eyes.

Mo Yunchen's attention was all on her wound. He was carefully reaching out to check the arrow wound on her neck, with deep fear in his eyes.

If the arrow had been just a little off, it would have pierced her throat.

"Does it hurt?" His frown was filled with love and regret for her, and undisguised affection.

Xue Huang lowered her eyes. She must have seen it wrong because her eyes had not healed yet.

"I'm fine, check to see if he's dead."

Mo Yunchen picked her up by the waist and took her back to her room.

The sounds of fighting outside soon stopped and the battlefield was cleaned up.

Only then did Xue Huang feel the pain from the wounds on her body. She was not seriously injured. The wound on her shoulder bled the most, followed by her neck. Fortunately, no vital parts were injured.

"How is Duan Yun?"

"He is seriously injured, but his life is not in danger." Mo Yunchen said.

"Who wants to kill me?"

"Zhou Tianyu." Mo Yunchen said as he treated her wound. "He secretly cooperated with Lu Jing. Those people from the Jianghu before were also sent by him. It was my negligence that put you in danger."

Xue Huang was not unfamiliar with this name. She had caused the generals defending the city to abandon the city and flee, so she naturally resented her. But she did not expect that Zhou Tianyu could mobilize so many people from the martial arts world.

"Where is he now?"

"Dead." Mo Yunchen said. "Things here have been settled."

"Then can we set off now?"
