They simultaneously drew their respective weapons: a sword, a staff, and two claws.
This was actually Xia Yuelan's first time facing such a formidable foe, and the combined attack of three skilled fighters made her slightly flustered. However, since it was her own decision to test the Shattered Dream Blade, she asked Xiao Ye and her senior brother... especially Xiao Ye, not to make a move yet.
She glared, regained her composure, and watched the three approach.
In an instant, the one with steel claws on both hands rolled up and attacked the lower body. The one wielding the stick coordinated perfectly and slashed fiercely at the girl's face.
Xia Yuelan's sword flashed.
The two men were unexpectedly drawn into a dreamlike state of sword intent. The girl they were attacking moved erratically, making it impossible for them to clearly pinpoint her location.
For martial artists, the most important thing is the sense of direction and distance when making a move.
The two men's attacks were originally fierce and aggressive, and even though the girl had a countermeasure, their killing moves also had their own variations.
But now they couldn't see through the girl's movements at all, and their various moves were difficult to follow one after another, so they immediately came to a standstill.
The blade, like an inverted galaxy, instantly pierced through the dream and slashed towards the one wielding the steel claws.
Fortunately, the leader drew his sword in time, intercepting the girl's curved blade and saving his companion.
"Yue Lan's martial arts comprehension is truly astonishing!" Xiao Ye exclaimed in surprise. "She actually knew that dealing with a pincer attack and defending too strictly would eventually lead to problems, so she chose to attack from the very beginning, relying on the exquisite nature of the Shattered Dream Blade to launch a preemptive strike."
Fu Hai said in a low voice, "She wants to fight fast and win quickly?"
"The enemy outnumbers us. If we're forced to defend, we'll lose!" Xiaoye slowly loosened her grip on the sword she had been holding, ready to provide support at any moment.
The masked girl's swordplay wove a net, dreamlike and illusory, forcing the three men to retreat repeatedly.
The three men grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed. What school or sect did this girl belong to? They had never heard of such extraordinary skills beforehand.
A single cut, as swift as a gazelle's horns.
The man wielding the steel claws had a knife in his throat. In shock, he retreated and touched his neck. The wound had not damaged his trachea or blood vessels, but if he were to fight again, his blood and qi would accelerate, which would likely speed up his injury and lead to his death.
A single stroke of the blade is as swift as a white horse flashing past a crack.
The man wielding the stick was stabbed in the wrist. He dropped the stick and retreated, his face pale. The energy from the stab wound traveled up his veins, freezing his entire hand so that he could no longer move it.
Then came a series of continuous, dense cuts, like pearls falling onto a plate.
Although the burly man with the sword was stronger, he had fewer helpers and barely managed to block the attack before the blade slashed across his chest.
He retreated in shock, looked down, and saw blood spilling from his chest; his heart was just a hair's breadth away from being damaged.
The girl calmly sheathed her sword: "Do you still want to fight?"
The burly man's expression changed. As someone in the martial arts world, he knew that he had survived this time entirely because the other party had held back, only injuring him and not killing him.
They cupped their hands and said, "Thank you for your mercy, young lady! But we were just following orders. If you get involved tonight, things will not end well. You should be careful in the future."
This is just a polite way of saying things in the martial arts world. It means that we are grateful to the other party for sparing our lives tonight. We have a stronger force behind us, and this matter is quite big. Even if we go back, the higher-ups will definitely send even more powerful people.
It's like telling the other party that things aren't so simple, that this matter is difficult to resolve peacefully, and that they should reconsider.
After speaking, the four of them did not linger. Although their injuries were not fatal, they were all in vital areas, and they dared not use their internal energy again, fleeing in a disheveled state…
Chapter 200: Junior Sister's Bear is Too Powerful
Xia Yuelan sheathed her sword and turned to look at the panicked little girl.
The little girl was wearing a thin, wrapped-front ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) and was barefoot.
Xia Yuelan saw that the little girl was pale, had injuries on her legs, and her skin was so white that it looked like she had lost too much blood. Her eyes were full of fear.
She said, "Don't worry, I... Hey, hey?"
She rushed forward and caught the fallen girl in her arms.
Fu Hai and Xiao Ye also jumped out.
The little girl had fallen into a coma and was unconscious.
Xiaoye said softly, "It seems they fled here in fear and are already exhausted and can't hold on any longer."
Fu Hai said, "Let me see!" He reached out and touched it.
Xia Yuelan and Xiao Ye watched him stroke the little girl's hand.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm healing her wounds," Fu Hai said.
"Her injury hasn't healed yet!" Xia Yuelan picked up the little girl and looked at her feet.
"Huh?" Xiaoye asked in confusion, "Brother, your healing techniques don't seem to be working on her."
Fu Hai looked over and saw that under her touch, the little girl's face gradually became rosy, and the cuts on her hands healed quickly.
But looking at her bare feet, they were still covered in blood.
"Huh?" He was also a little puzzled.
He pushed aside Xiaoye and took one of the little girl's feet in his hand.
The little girl's bare feet were small and cute, yet extremely delicate. She had run barefoot all the way here, and her feet were worn raw by stones and pricked by thorns, making her look rather pitiful.
Fu Hai stroked her delicate feet, but the injuries showed no signs of improvement.
This is impossible!
So far, Fu Hai's "female medical expert" only failed to work when Sister Xianrui was poisoned by yin toxin.
Lifting the little girl's other foot and continuing to use the "divine hand" technique, it still had no effect.
He took her hand again and looked at it, confirming that the scratch had healed.
However, she didn't have any wounds on her hands; the main injury was on her feet.
Fu Hai squatted down: "Junior sister, lift your foot up so I can see it."
Xia Yuelan raised her foot and kicked her senior brother away... How can you just look at a girl's feet like that?
In those days, it was taboo for a girl's feet to be the same size as her breasts.
Normally, if a man sees a woman's bare feet, she'll never be able to get married.
Of course, her feet had been seen by her senior brothers quite a few times in the past three years. After all, she had never been wary of her senior brothers in her room before, but this time it was too deliberate.
Fu Hai didn't actually like looking at girls' feet that much.
After all, in his previous world, it was perfectly normal for girls to wear slippers or sandals.
Unlike this world, where you have to cover up your pants with a skirt, and even girls' trousers are called "underwear".
"Don't you think her feet look like they've just been born, even more delicate than a newborn's?" He stood up again, looking at the little girl's toes. "People who walk a lot will have calluses, right?"
Xia Yuelan and Xiao Ye looked over and saw that the girl's feet were indeed small and delicate, and the injuries on her legs were all from being scraped by the mountain road during their escape.
A normal person running barefoot in the mountains for their life would certainly get scratched by rocks and branches, but not to this extent.
“That’s right!” Xia Yuelan also looked puzzled.
"My feet look like hers too," Xiaoye said.
“Xiao Ye, you’re different!” Fu Hai said. “Your body is formed from moonlight, and you’re reborn every time.”
Suddenly it occurred to me that I was now giving Xiaoye my yang energy from behind.
If I enter from the front in the future, does that mean I'm "losing my virginity" every time?
After all, Xiaoye can switch between her skeletal form and her moonlit body, and each time she transforms back into her moonlit body, it's a new one.
"She's not wearing pants yet?" Fu Hai lifted the little girl's skirt to look inside and discovered a new suspicious detail. ● "Senior brother, what are you doing?" Xia Yuelan turned around while holding the little girl, glaring at her senior brother like a tigress, "Don't look inside."
"I was just checking her injuries, what are you thinking?"
"Let Xiaoye check! Senior brother, you've changed. You're not a good person anymore. I'm worried about you."
"What the hell? Sigh, let's leave here first and take her back."
Fu Hai discovered that although he didn't know why his divine hands couldn't heal the little girl's foot injury, they should be effective on other parts of her body.
The little girl's complexion had improved significantly, and the injury on her foot was mainly superficial and had little impact.
Fu Hai said, "Let Xiao Ye carry her, let's go back quickly."
Xiaoye's skill was even more profound, and her special lightness technique allowed her to hardly expend her internal energy even under the moonlight.
Xia Yuelan then handed the little girl over to Xiao Ye.
The three of them flew towards the inn under the cover of night.
"I never imagined your breast-reading technique was so amazing, brother!" Xiaoye exclaimed as they flew, holding his little sister. "Even if others look at hands or faces, they're only seeing that person's fate. Your breast-reading technique, however, sees Yue Lan's breasts and her destiny—that's the effect of legendary stargazing and cloud-reading!"
Fu Hai exclaimed, "It's not that I'm amazing, it's that Junior Sister Yue Lan's chest is amazing. I didn't really believe it at first, but I came to see for myself with some skepticism."
"I can't believe it's true... This is unbelievable!"
Xia Yuelan lowered her head, pulled at her chest, and peered inside... Is it really that amazing?
They traveled for more than half an hour before returning to the inn.
Enter from the backyard of the inn.
"Senior brother!" A soft call rang out, and Song Lingyue floated over from under the eaves of the backyard. "Where did you go... Ah, you found her?"
"Lingyue, you're still awake?" Fu Hai said. "Let's bring it to the inn first."
Xiao Ye carried the girl to the inn, and Sister Qiu Ying also came out from the lobby carrying a lantern... Xia Yue Lan carried the little girl to the backyard of the inn, to her own room.
"Master, is this the girl you and Miss Lingyue saw during the day?"
Sister Qiu Ying said, "Her feet..."
“She got injured while running barefoot in the mountains when she was being chased,” Fu Hai said. “We need to clean her wounds and disinfect them.”
“I’ll do it!” Qiu Ying said. “There’s still hot water in the big pot over there in the kitchen.”
Song Lingyue said, "I'll help too."
The two worked quickly and soon brought over hot water and a towel that had been soaked in boiling water.
"Everything else seems fine, it's mainly the injury on your foot!" Qiu Ying wiped the girl's foot.
“Her legs are too fair and delicate,” Song Lingyue said softly, “and she really wasn’t wearing anything under her skirt.”
