Chapter 843 The Enemy Lets the Water Go
Clearly, the people inside were the assassins from the Vermilion Bird Sect. Upon hearing Lin Ping's voice, they all wore expressions of confusion and bewilderment, as if to say, "This guy is still alive?"
"Oh no, the enemy is inside! We have to run!" Lin Ping shouted in a panic, grabbing Zhang Yuelu's hand and trying to escape.
"How did he know that Gui Jinyang and the others were inside the house?" Zhang Yuelu stared at Lin Ping in surprise.
Even with his mid-stage fifth rank level, he couldn't judge the situation inside the wooden house a hundred meters away just by sound, let alone Lin Ping, who was only a late-stage fourth rank, and who even managed to identify the other party.
It's really bizarre.
"I can't leave, Master is still inside, I have to go save Master," Zhang Yuelu struggled.
"Master?" Lin Ping was slightly taken aback, as if he had thought of something.
If Zhang Yuelu could defeat the people on the other side, then her master was even more formidable. Those people from the Nightmare Palace shouldn't be occupying the wooden house and refusing to leave.
Just as he was wondering, several people rushed out of the house and quickly surrounded the two of them.
"You've fully recovered after just one night?" Lin Ping looked at the group in disbelief.
He witnessed the battle last night. Although Zhang Yuelu was seriously injured, her opponent was more severely wounded. There was no reason for her to recover completely in just one night.
Moreover, their faces clearly showed surprise, mixed with a hint of fear, and they were not excited at all by Lin Ping walking into their trap.
"Hahaha, brat, I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my doorstep." After a long standoff, Gui Jinyang finally burst into laughter, but his stiff expression clearly made his smile seem unnatural.
"Could it be that he didn't know that Miss Yuelu was injured? Is he wary of her?" Lin Ping was full of doubts.
If Zhang Yuelu hadn't been injured, Gui Jinyang and the others should indeed have been afraid, or even run away.
But he neither fled immediately nor launched an attack, which is clearly problematic.
"It's you again? I'll rid the people of this scourge right now!" Zhang Yuelu said angrily, as if she had an irreconcilable hatred for the enemy.
Gui Jin Yang was stunned, staring blankly at Zhang Yue Lu, not knowing what she was trying to say.
Should we take action, or should we not?
Zhang Yuelu broke free from Lin Ping's control, used all her strength to propel her body forward, and charged forward with her soft sword.
"As long as I break free from this kid's control, I can easily kill him. Although I didn't absorb any energy, I've still completed the mission," Zhang Yuelu thought to herself.
Lin Ping is just a weakling at the late stage of the fourth level. Anyone could kill him. The reason why Gui Jin Yang and the others dared not make a move was because they were afraid that Lin Ping would use Zhang Yue Lu as a hostage.
If Zhang Yuelu breaks free from Lin Ping's control, she will no longer have to be restrained.
"This girl's gone mad. Rushing in blindly will only expose our strength. Once the enemy has no fear, it'll be our death." Lin Ping quickly analyzed the situation of both sides.
"Haha, I'm about to break free from this kid's control." A faint murderous glint appeared in Zhang Yuelu's eyes as she desperately ran towards Gui Jinyang.
Once she crosses the center line, she can call for help from Gui Jin Yang and the others. Even if Lin Ping reacts, it will be too late.
"Damn it, we absolutely can't let them see through Miss Yuelu's strength!" Lin Ping concentrated all his energy in the soles of his feet and rushed out like lightning.
Zhang Yuelu had already opened her mouth, about to cry for help to Gui Jinyang.
Just then, Lin Ping suddenly appeared from behind, his strong arms wrapping around her slender waist. He whispered in her ear, "Don't be reckless, and don't let him know you're injured, or we'll both die here."
Zhang Yuelu was furious! Victory was within her grasp, but Lin Ping wouldn't let her go.
“We can’t just sit here and wait to die. I’m not badly injured, I can beat them,” Zhang Yuelu insisted.
"She really is a wild woman who grew up in the mountains, completely unable to see the situation." Lin Ping was speechless; he would not allow Zhang Yuelu to act rashly.
When they saw Lin Ping with his arm around Zhang Yuelu's slender waist, Gui Jinyang and the others almost dropped their jaws.
"Is this still our Vermilion Bird Saintess? Has the enemy breached her membrane defenses already?" Gui Jin Yang rubbed his eyes, feeling like he was hallucinating.
"Who do you think you are, and what right do you have to tell me what to do?" Zhang Yuelu tried her best to distance herself from Lin Ping, and kept winking at Gui Jinyang and the others, trying to make them realize the truth.
"You saved my life, so naturally I won't let you get into danger. I won't let go until I find your master!" Lin Ping said, patting his chest.
"Big brother, please let go, I'm really scared of you." Zhang Yuelu was extremely anxious.
She roughly understood Lin Ping's impulsive nature and wasn't going to waste time on him. She turned to Gui Jinyang and the others and said, "Let's all come at you. Today it's either you die or I live."
"Life or death? Does it make a difference?" Lin Ping lowered his head, genuinely worried about Zhang Yuelu's intelligence.
Even though they're all injured like this, they still want to fight to the death with the enemy.
Gui Jinyang and the others still didn't understand, but it was the sect leader's order, and they dared not disobey. They all turned their anger towards Lin Ping.
"Don't come any closer! Do you want to get beaten up again? Miss Yuelu is very powerful." Lin Ping said in a panic, wanting to take responsibility for Zhang Yuelu's recklessness.
To be honest, Gui Jinyang and the others were also a little scared. They were afraid that this was Zhang Yuelu's second wave of plans, and they would inevitably get a good beating then.
"Let's get serious!" Lin Ping became serious as he felt the sharpness of Ghost Golden Sheep's short sword.
He consciously protected Zhang Yuelu behind him, fighting Gui Jinyang alone, determined not to let the enemy make contact with her.
"You can't beat him, I'll help you!" Zhang Yuelu was extremely anxious, but she was too badly injured to rush in front of Lin Ping.
Gui Jinyang had the upper hand after dozens of rounds of fighting Lin Ping, and he could kill Lin Ping at any time, but he did not understand Zhang Yuelu's intentions and dared not act on his own.
"Don't run around, stay behind me." Lin Ping glanced back, and Zhang Yuelu, who was about to run away, was pulled back by him.
During her escape, she used different sign language to express "help me," and Hoshino was the first to understand it.
"Take this!" Xing Rima, wielding a giant sword, leaped into the air and delivered a vertical slash aimed at Zhang Yuelu's brow.
He naturally dared not be rude to Zhang Yuelu, clearly wanting to take her away from Lin Ping.
"Oh no, Miss Yuelu is in danger!" Despite the risk of being seriously injured by Gui Jinyang, Lin Ping forcefully pushed him back, stepped in front of her, and hugged her small body tightly, showing no intention of running away.
With this sword strike, not only Lin Ping, but also Zhang Yuelu would be cleaved in two. Xing Rima panicked and could only forcibly change direction.
The heavy greatsword grazed their shoulders and slammed into the ground, leaving a deep trench.
Xing Rima gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, this kid actually dodged it."
"Brother, I didn't dodge at all!" Lin Ping retorted inwardly, certain that he hadn't moved an inch.
