The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Unfortunately, Dongfang Jincheng had practiced martial arts for many years and had exceptionally good eyesight. When he could clearly see the person in front of him, he knew that the Blood Fiend Sect Master had caught up.

Dongfang Jincheng reined in his horses and stared at the Blood Fiend Sect Master for a moment.

"The Blood Fiend Sect Master should now be called Xue Yun."

Upon hearing Dongfang Jincheng's words, the Blood Fiend Sect Master laughed heartily, but the sound coming from his burned throat was far from pleasant. It was truly eerie in the pitch-black countryside.

"It's been a long time since I've heard anyone call me Xue Yun. But even if you know my identity, so what? You're all going to die here today."

Knowing that he currently lacked internal energy and might not be able to protect Li Muxia, Dongfang Jincheng looked at Xue Yun and said, "Xue Yun, you were once a member of a reputable sect. This is a matter between you and me, and has nothing to do with anyone else. Let them go, and I will allow you to deal with them as you see fit."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia turned to look at him anxiously and said, "Your Highness, you..."

Dongfang Jincheng glanced at Li Muxia and shook his head at her.

Xue Yun couldn't help but chuckle twice and said, "This time it really isn't about me and the prince. My main target here is her."

He pointed at Li Muxia as he spoke.

Li Muxia pointed at herself in surprise and asked, puzzled, "Me? Why?"

Dongfang Jincheng also frowned.

Xue Yun wasn't in a good mood. He explained to Li Muxia that he had indeed come to kill her because she had repeatedly thwarted their plans.

"Why? Blame it on your meddling too much."

Li Muxia turned her head and glanced at Dongfang Jincheng with a dark expression on her face.

"Well, it seems I've dragged the prince into this."

Upon hearing Xue Yun's words, Jingtai on another horse couldn't help but speak up, saying, "Blood Fiend Sect Master, I advise you to think carefully before you act. She is a friend of our Sect Master. If you hurt her, our Sect Master will not let you off the hook."

Xue Yun snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of the mere Shadow Pavilion?"

Without wasting any more words with the others, he launched the first attack.

Jingtai knew that Dongfang Jincheng had run out of internal energy, so while leaping to meet the attack, he said, "Please, Your Highness Prince Rui, take her away first."

Although Dongfang Jincheng knew that Jingtai was no match for Xue Yun, he couldn't really help Jingtai now and would only be a burden to him. So he immediately turned his horse around and drove away.

How could Xue Yun let the two leave? While dealing with Jing Tai who was entangled with him, he threw a dart in the direction of Dongfang Jincheng. Dongfang Jincheng sensed the danger behind him and looked at Li Muxia in front of him. If he dodged, the dart would definitely hit Li Muxia. Moreover, the dart was imbued with Xue Yun's internal energy, making it fast and ruthless. He had no internal energy and didn't have time to dodge with Li Muxia, so he could only take the hit by force.

The dart pierced his body, but he didn't utter a sound, though his body stiffened for a moment. Li Muxia sensed the reaction behind him and asked, "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Dongfang Jincheng said calmly, "It's alright."

There was nothing unusual about the sound, but Li Muxia could smell a faint scent of blood.

Xue Yun watched the two disappear into the night and stopped being distracted, focusing on dealing with Jingtai in front of him.

Jingtai was also struggling more and more, and was finally blasted away by Xue Yun with a palm strike.

Xue Yun used ninety percent of his internal strength in this palm strike, and Jingtai suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

Xue Yun didn't have time to finish off Jingtai. He mounted Jingtai's horse and chased after the direction where Dongfang Jincheng had disappeared.

Despite the pain in his back, Dongfang Jincheng spurred his horse forward. However, in the darkness of the night, without a single ray of light, he felt a sense of panic and disorientation.

Soon, Dongfang Jincheng and Li Muxia realized something was wrong; there was a cliff in front of them.

Dongfang Jincheng quickly tightened the reins, and the horse finally stopped when it was only one meter away from the cliff.

Looking at the dark place ahead, both of them were soaked in sweat.

Just as the two were about to turn around and leave, they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them.

Li Muxia prayed that the riders were friendly forces, but unfortunately, fate had other plans, and the enemy arrived instead.

Upon their reunion, Xue Yun clearly didn't want to waste any more words with the two of them, so he leaped up and attacked Dongfang Jincheng and Li Muxia.

Dongfang Jincheng quickly picked up Li Muxia and tumbled off the horse, rolling on the ground before stopping.

However, the pressure on his back wound caused Dongfang Jincheng to gasp involuntarily.

Li Muxia was well protected by Dongfang Jincheng. Before she could check his injuries, she saw Xue Yun attacking them. Without thinking, Li Muxia threw out the poison powder in her hand.

Seeing this, Xue Yun reached out to block, giving Li Muxia and Dongfang Jincheng a chance to catch their breath.

Li Muxia pulled Dongfang Jincheng and ran backwards. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong direction.

Looking at the cliff in front of him, Li Muxia wanted to kill himself.

Xue Yun was already catching up. Li Muxia had been in a hurry when she threw out the poison powder, so the powder was far away from Xue Yun. In addition, Xue Yun reacted quickly enough, so the poison powder did not cause him much harm at this moment.

Seeing Xue Yun approaching step by step, Li Muxia and Dongfang Jincheng exchanged a glance.

Li Muxia: "What do we do now?"

Dongfang Jincheng looked at the cliff behind him and said, "Do you trust me?"

Li Muxia was puzzled, but at this moment it was not good to undermine the confidence of her allies, so she nodded and said, "I believe you."

Then, before Li Muxia and Xue Yun could react, Dongfang Jincheng grabbed Li Muxia's waist, held her tightly in his arms, and jumped down.

Li Muxia was stunned, and Xue Yun on the cliff was also stunned.

what's the situation?

When the guards and the Blood Fiend Sect members arrived, there were only two horses and Xue Yun looking down at the edge of the cliff.

Upon seeing this, Qingyun asked with bloodshot eyes, "Blood Fiend Sect Master, did you kill them?"

Xue Yun turned around and said coldly, "I didn't do anything; they jumped down on their own."

Then, without waiting for Qingyun to say anything, he ordered his men, "Even if they jumped down, I want to see their bodies. Go down and search."

After saying that, he led his men to find a way down the mountain.

The head guard stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down into the darkness, and said, "Let's go down too. We must find the prince. He must still be alive."

After saying that, he looked at Qingyun, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Thank you for your help, sir."

Qingyun was still stunned by Xue Yun's words, and nodded blankly when he heard the head guard's words.

Did Li Muxia die? What about Jingtai?

Once he realized what was happening, Qingyun pulled out a signal flare from his pocket.

The white light that lit up the sky allowed the nearest Shadow Pavilion to receive the signal, but unfortunately, they were too far away, and by the time they arrived, it was already daylight.
