The Immortal Emperor Reborn: Accompanying My Child on the Extraordinary Journey

Chapter 153: Battle of Wits and Courage

The night gradually faded, and a hint of paleness appeared on the horizon. Yun Che and his companions used the dim light to shuttle between the rugged mountains. Their clothes were slightly disheveled, but their eyes gleamed with an unyielding light.

“Everyone, be careful. There are cliffs ahead. We must take a detour.” Yun Che warned in a low voice. Although his voice was soft, it was filled with unquestionable firmness.

Lin Yuxuan followed closely behind, clutching the cloth bag containing the herbs tightly in her hand, praying silently in her heart: "I hope you will be safe. These herbs are my life-saving hope."

“Yun Che, it’s not a solution for us to keep running away like this.” Su Moxuan frowned. He knew very well that the enemy was chasing them like a shadow. If they couldn’t find an effective counterattack strategy, they would be caught up sooner or later.

Yun Che stopped and looked back at the crowd, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "Mo Xuan is right. We can't just keep running away passively. There's a dense forest not far ahead. We can use the terrain to our advantage, set a trap, and catch the enemy off guard."

When everyone heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes and they nodded in agreement.

In the dense forest, leaves rustled, and sunlight filtered through the treetops, casting dappled shadows. Yun Che and the others sprang into action, meticulously laying trap after trap using trees, vines, and rocks.

"This trap needs to be well-hidden, yet not easily evaded by the enemy." Yun Che instructed everyone as he worked diligently. "Remember, we need to outsmart them, not brute force."

Lin Yuxuan was responsible for sprinkling special herbal powders around the traps. These powders could temporarily confuse the enemy's vision and buy them more time to counterattack.

“Alright, everyone, get ready. The enemy may appear at any time.” Yun Che took a deep breath and prepared for battle.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps and low voices echoed from the depths of the dense forest in the distance. Yun Che and the others immediately hid themselves, holding their breath and waiting.

"They really caught up with us." Su Moxuan gripped the sword tightly, his eyes sharp as torches.

The enemy gradually approached, their figures looming in the light and shadow. Yun Che and the others waited patiently until the enemy completely stepped into the trap area.

"Go!" Yun Che shouted, and everyone quickly activated the trap. Instantly, huge rocks rolled down, vines entwined, and the enemy was caught off guard by the sudden attack.

"Oh no, there's an ambush!" The enemy exclaimed repeatedly and tried to break free from the trap.

Yun Che seized the opportunity and leaped forward, his longsword surging like a dragon emerging from the sea, aiming directly at the enemy leader. The two clashed instantly, swords flashing and sparks flying.

"How dare you set an ambush!" The enemy leader's eyes widened with anger, and his attack became more fierce.

Yun Che, however, showed no fear. With his nimble form and sharp sword moves, he engaged the enemy leader in a close fight. At this moment, Lin Yuxuan and the others also joined the battle. They worked in perfect harmony, defeating the enemies one by one.

“Everyone, be careful. These enemies are quite powerful. Don’t be careless.” Yun Che reminded everyone while fighting.

Lin Yuxuan, wielding a short blade and nimbly moving, weaved between the enemies, each of her strikes precise and deadly. Su Moxuan, relying on his superb swordsmanship, engaged in a fierce clash with the enemy.

The battle lasted for a while, and the enemy finally gave in and retreated. Yun Che and his companions took the opportunity to pursue them, determined to completely destroy the enemy.

“Don’t let them get away!” Yun Che roared and sped forward.

However, at this moment, a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart. Yun Che turned around suddenly and saw a man in black holding a sharp blade, quietly approaching Lin Yuxuan.

“Yuxuan, be careful!” Yun Che cried out in alarm, wanting to stop her, but it was too late.

The man in black was extremely fast, and his sharp blade instantly cut through the air and went straight for Lin Yuxuan's vitals. Lin Yuxuan's face changed drastically, and she had no time to dodge.

At this critical moment, a dark figure flashed by and threw Lin Yuxuan to the ground, blocking the fatal blow for her. Yun Che looked closely and saw that it was Su Moxuan.

“Mo Xuan!” Yun Che exclaimed repeatedly. He had not expected Su Mo Xuan to risk his life to save him.

Su Moxuan groaned, his face pale, obviously seriously injured. But he still endured the pain and tightly protected Lin Yuxuan.

"How...how are you?" Lin Yuxuan's voice trembled, her eyes full of concern.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Su Moxuan forced a smile, but the pain in his eyes was hard to hide.

Yun Che's eyes widened in anger. He looked at the man in black, his eyes flashing with blazing rage: "You bunch of beasts, I will never let you go!"

The man in black snorted coldly and turned to flee. Yun Che would never let him go. He flashed and chased after him in an instant.

The two clashed once more, and this time, Yun Che held back no longer. Every move he made was imbued with a powerful killing intent, vowing to utterly slay the man in black.

The man in black clearly sensed Yun Che's murderous intent, and his heart trembled as his attack became increasingly fierce. However, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to escape Yun Che's clutches.

“You can’t escape!” Yun Che roared, and his sword pierced through the black-clothed man’s chest in an instant like lightning.

The man in black widened his eyes and fell to the ground unwillingly. Yun Che looked at his corpse coldly, without a trace of pity in his heart.

After the battle, Yun Che and the others quickly cleaned up the battlefield. They took the seriously injured Su Moxuan and found a secluded cave to temporarily settle down.

"Moxuan, how are you? Are you feeling better?" Lin Yuxuan sat next to Su Moxuan, her eyes full of worry.

Su Moxuan shook his head slightly, his face still pale: "I'm fine, just a little injured, I'll be fine after resting for a while."

Yun Che felt secretly guilty in his heart. He knew that if it wasn't for saving Lin Yuxuan, Su Moxuan wouldn't have been injured so badly.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't dragged everyone down, you wouldn't be in such danger." Lin Yuxuan whispered to herself.

“Yuxuan, don’t say that. We are friends and partners. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must face them together.” Yun Che comforted her.

Su Moxuan also forced a smile: "Yes, Yuxuan, don't blame yourself. We are a team, we must advance and retreat together."

Hearing this, Lin Yuxuan felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She looked at Yun Che and Su Moxuan, her eyes gleaming with determination. "Thank you, both of you. I will work hard to become stronger and no longer be a burden to you."

Yun Che and Su Moxuan smiled at each other. They knew that Lin Yuxuan had grown a lot.

In the days that followed, Yun Che and the others recuperated while planning their next move. They knew full well that the enemy was still powerful and that they had to be even more cautious and careful.

“We can’t hide here forever. We must find an opportunity to strike back.” Yun Che said after a moment of contemplation.

"However, our strength is still too weak compared to the enemy." Lin Yuxuan said with some concern.

"Our strength can be improved. As long as we keep working hard, we will surpass them one day." Su Moxuan said firmly.

Yun Che nodded: "That's right, we can't be defeated by the difficulties we face. We must believe in ourselves and the strength of our team."

Encouraged by Yun Che, everyone regained their spirits. They began to practice martial arts and improve their strength. At the same time, Yun Che also used his wisdom to formulate a series of counterattack plans against the enemy.

As the days passed, Yun Che and his companions' strength improved significantly. They were no longer afraid of the enemy's pursuit, but instead took the initiative to attack and search for the enemy's traces.

By chance, Yun Che and others discovered an important piece of intelligence: the enemy was secretly planning a large-scale attack.

“This is a perfect opportunity. We must stop them.” Yun Che’s eyes gleamed with determination.

"But their power is so strong, how can we stop them?" Lin Yuxuan said with some concern.

"Everything depends on human effort. As long as we work together, nothing is impossible." Yun Che encouraged.

Under Yun Che's leadership, everyone began to formulate a detailed counterattack plan. They took advantage of the terrain and set numerous traps; at the same time, they also prepared a large amount of poison and hidden weapons in case of emergency.

Finally, the day of the enemy's attack arrived. Yun Che and the others hid in the dark, quietly waiting for the enemy's arrival.

When the enemy entered the trap area, Yun Che gave an order, and everyone quickly activated the trap. Suddenly, boulders rolled down, vines entwined, poison spread... The enemy was caught off guard by the sudden attack.

Yun Che and his companions seized the opportunity to attack, coordinating their efforts in perfect harmony and defeating the enemies one by one. The battle was extremely fierce, but Yun Che and his companions remained calm and resolute throughout.

Under Yun Che's leadership, they gradually gained the upper hand. Seeing this, the enemy fled in panic. Yun Che and his companions took advantage of the victory and pursued them, determined to completely annihilate the enemy.

After a fierce battle, Yun Che and his companions finally defeated the enemy completely. Looking at the enemy corpses scattered all over the ground, they felt a surge of joy of victory.

"We won!" Lin Yuxuan cheered. She hugged Yun Che and Su Moxuan tightly, tears of excitement flashing in her eyes.

"Yes, we won." Yun Che looked at Lin Yuxuan and Su Moxuan with a smile. He knew that all this was the result of their joint efforts.

However, the joy of victory did not last long. Yun Che and the others knew that this was only a temporary victory, and they still had more challenges and difficulties to face.

“We can’t stop. We must continue to work hard on our training and improve our strength.” Yun Che put away his smile, his eyes becoming firm and deep.

Lin Yuxuan and Su Moxuan nodded in agreement upon hearing this. They knew Yun Che was right. Only by constantly striving could they survive in this cruel world.

In the days that followed, Yun Che and the others worked even harder to cultivate their martial arts and mental methods. They learned from each other, made progress together, and their strength was greatly improved.

At the same time, Yun Che also used his wisdom to constantly research new tactics and strategies. He knew that in this world full of unknowns and dangers, only by continuous innovation and breakthroughs can one remain invincible.

Time flew by like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, several months had passed. Yun Che and his companions were no longer as powerful as they once were. They were no longer the weak team that could be easily bullied.

On this day, Yun Che and his companions set out on their journey again. Their hearts were filled with confidence and courage, ready to embrace new challenges and opportunities.

“We will definitely become stronger!” Yun Che looked into the distance, his eyes gleaming with determination.

Lin Yuxuan and Su Moxuan followed closely behind. They knew that no matter how many difficulties and challenges lay ahead,
