Yaoguang Fairy Path

At the foot of the mountain, four people were leisurely strolling along the road back to the city. The bright moonlight sprinkled on the leaves and gently enveloped them, stretching their shadows long.

Behind him, Xiang Yan was holding a piece of wild grass in his mouth, with his fingers crossed and held behind his head, accompanying Yang Tao on his left and right.

Li Yuru smiled and said, "It's really exciting, Yaoyao, come back to the Li Mansion with us later!"

Ye Shuyao nodded and responded, "Yeah, I think so too.

But, will I bother my uncle and aunt if I go home with you?" He thought to himself that he had to find a chance to sort out the things he had obtained before. He had always habitually thrown them directly into the space and had never sorted them carefully.

Seeing Ye Shuyao was a little reserved, Li Yuru took her hand and said with a smile, "Yaoyao, don't bother me, you're too polite. We are best sisters. If you continue like this, I won't be happy. Besides, my mother has always wanted to meet you."

Suddenly, Xiang Yan sensed a powerful murderous intent rising from the darkness. His expression froze, his eyes instantly sharp as an eagle's. He gripped the bright silver spear tightly, the tip of which was entwined with lightning, like a dancing silver dragon. He quickly turned, taking a defensive stance, and shouted, "Miss Ye, be careful!"

When Ye Shuyao heard Xiang Yan's reminder, she was shocked, but she did not panic.

She pulled Li Yuru like a gust of wind, and her figure flashed like lightning. She flew sideways like a light swallow and nimbly avoided the fierce first attack.

At the same time, his wrist flipped like flowing clouds, and his ice marrow body was instantly activated. His whole body was shining like a fairy, and the ice marrow shield was like a spirit, automatically protecting the two of them, as solid as a rock.

At this time, the killer in the dark saw that the first attack failed, but he was not discouraged, but became even more crazy. He formed seals with his hands again, and the crescent-shaped scimitar that originally had only one blade instantly split into ten sharp blades, and launched another fierce attack on the four people.

The air was filled with a strong murderous atmosphere. Ten sharp blades were like ten lightning bolts that cut through the night sky, attacking the four people with fierce murderous intent.

Seeing this, Xiang Yan immediately swung the bright silver spear in his hand, colliding it with the sharp blades, making a "ding-dang-dang" sound of metal collision.

At the same time, he kept moving, trying to guide the attack direction of the sharp blades to gain more space for Ye Shuyao and Li Yuru to escape.

Yang Tao also did not retreat. He quickly grasped the scimitar in his palm. He lowered his body and cleverly avoided the fierce attack of the scimitar. Then he leaped forward and slashed with the scimitar, colliding with the opponent's scimitar, making a crisp metal collision sound.

Ye Shuyao's eyes were like torches as she gently warned Li Yuru, "Yuru, be careful."

At the same time, she quickly drew out the Ice Soul Sword, the sword body flashing with icy light, and she jumped up lightly. The Ice Soul Sword in her hand, with a cold sword energy, quickly slashed at the scimitar that attacked her face.

With a light "crackling" sound, the icy sword energy instantly shattered the scimitar, turning it into countless scattered ice crystals.

Li Yuru nodded seriously and stood back to back with Ye Shuyao. She quickly activated the defensive magic weapon on her body, and a faint golden light shield emanated from her body.

At the same time, she held the Chiling Sword in her hand, and the scorching flames and sharp sword energy intertwined on the sword. She slashed forward suddenly, and the scorching sword energy and flames instantly slashed towards the scimitar in front of her, making a deafening roar.

The scimitar was shattered, and Xiang Yan's face became gloomy. He looked around with his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

He moved and rushed in one direction quickly, shouting: "Who is it? Come out! You are hiding your head and showing your tail. Are you ashamed of yourself?" His voice echoed in the silent space with a majesty that could not be ignored.

The next moment, ten black shadows leaped down from the darkness like ghosts, landing in different locations around them, quickly forming a tight encirclement that firmly surrounded the four people in the center.

Each of these black-clad, masked assassins exuded a powerful murderous aura, as if intent on devouring everything around them. The crescent-shaped scimitars in their hands gleamed with a cold, eerie glow under the moonlight, permeating the surrounding air with this thick murderous aura.

Ye Shuyao's eyes flickered slightly. She looked at these black-clad killers carefully, thinking secretly in her heart.

The aura these people exuded was completely different from that of ordinary monks. They were more like well-trained and extremely professional killers. I couldn't help but start to wonder about their true origins and purposes.

Xiang Yan's eyes were as sharp as a hawk's. He frowned, wondering, "Who on earth is so magnanimous as to send ten Jindan cultivators just to ambush and kill us?" He made a quick decision and said in a deep voice, "This must be a quick fight. Junior Sister, you must stay close behind me and never act alone."

Li Yuru nodded, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes: "Brother, you don't have to worry about me. I'm not that weak. I will be careful." She paused and added: "You should also pay more attention to your own safety."

Yang Tao patted his chest and said proudly, "Brother-in-law, don't worry. I will take good care of Yuru. Even if it costs me my life, I will never let Yuru suffer any harm."

Li Yuru's cheeks flushed slightly when she heard this. She coughed awkwardly a few times and said angrily, "You're acting like I'm weak. It really makes me lose face."

Xiang Yan glanced at Li Yuru, with a hint of pampering and helplessness in his eyes: "It's better this way, Yang Tao. If anything happens to my junior sister, I will only hold you responsible. Be careful of your lackeys." Although his words were harsh, they revealed his deep love for his junior sister and his trust in Yang Tao.

Ye Shuyao watched all this with dim eyes and an indescribable sadness in her heart. She couldn't help but envy Li Yurulai, who had a senior brother who loved her so much, and parents who always held her in their hands.

As for myself, even if I had lived two lifetimes combined, I have never experienced that kind of love and care from my loved ones.

She actually longed for her parents' love and companionship from the bottom of her heart. However, fate made her an orphan twice and left her in a corner of the world.

Ye Shuyao sighed softly, comforting herself not to think about things that could not be changed. In her previous life, she had never thought about finding her biological mother, and in this life, she would not pursue the missing family affection.

In this life, he had a master and sincere friendship. These were enough to make him feel warm and happy. Why should he think about things that he could not get?

Li Yuru seemed to notice Ye Shuyao's sadness. She gently grasped Ye Shuyao's hand and comforted her softly, "Yaoyao, don't be sad. From now on, I will be your family. No matter what happens, we will be together."

Ye Shuyao raised her head, a flicker of gratitude and determination in her eyes. She tightened her grip on Li Yuru's hand and smiled, "Okay. Thank you, Yuru."

Seeing that the four people were still interested in chatting, the killer thought: Why not send you to Jiuyou to talk slowly? Ten people's spiritual power burst out, and their bodies radiated red light. They held crescent-shaped scimitars in their hands, and the red light on the blades was even more intense. Their figures flashed like ghosts, leaving several shadows on the spot, and attacked the four people respectively.

Ye Shuyao was as light as a swallow, holding the Ice Soul Sword with a cold glow. The ice-blue spiritual power around her flowed like a stream, instantly condensing into a powerful force.

After using the Three Transformations of Spirit Source, in the blink of an eye, two figures exactly like Ye Shuyao appeared in the air, each holding a long sword made of ice crystals, and facing the oncoming killer with great momentum.

At the same time, the ice blades beside Ye Shuyao quickly condensed into dozens of sharp ice spikes. As she moved briskly, a white frost flower would bloom under her feet with every step.

Ye Shuyao shouted clearly: "I don't care who sent you, none of you can escape tonight!" As soon as she finished speaking, the sword energy whizzed past, and a fierce battle began with the four killers.

The two killers were entangled by Ye Shuyao's clones. The clones' swordsmanship was precise and sharp, making the killers overwhelmed.

Ye Shuyao danced and once again used the fourth level of the Ice Heart Technique - the Ice and Snow Field. The temperature around her dropped sharply, and countless ice spikes with a biting murderous aura whizzed towards the remaining two killers.

Seeing this, the two Jindan stage killers' faces changed and they hurriedly waved the crescent-shaped scimitars in their hands. The two scimitars spun rapidly in the air, shaped like crescents, and fought fiercely with Bingji.

However, the ice spikes were numerous and powerful, and they quickly suppressed the attacks of the two killers.
