Chapter 466: Chapter 466 Critical Condition (2)_1

As he approached the riverbank, Xiao Ruiyuan was about to squat down to wash his hands when Maomao, circling overhead on the alert, suddenly let out a sharp and short screech, and a strong sense of crisis overwhelmed him.

Without thinking, Xiao Ruiyuan swiftly drew the Sharp Sword from his waist and swept it across his chest; a crisp snap echoed as an Arrow, speeding toward him, split in two and fell into the water.

"Enemy attack—protect the master!" Xiao Jiu shouted loudly, dropping the food from his hands and drawing his sword as he rushed toward Xiao Ruiyuan.

The reactions of the other Dark Guards were swift, and in a blink, they had surrounded Xiao Ruiyuan completely, ready to face the enemy with their blades gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

Then, one after another, masked assassins sprang from the riverbed, shattering the calm of the water’s surface.

The battle was about to erupt!

"Kill!"

Before the assassins could strike first, Xiao Ruiyuan gave the order, and the Hidden Guards hurtled toward the enemy with him.

Xiao Ruiyuan was like a god of death, his presence enveloped in a dense aura of stern killing intent; he swung his Sharp Sword with ruthless precision, reaping the lives of the onrushing enemies.

No one bothered to count how many assassins appeared; the Hidden Guards fought tirelessly, repeatedly performing the act of killing, and even though their wounds multiplied and their arms grew heavy, they dared not show the slightest slack.

The number of corpses that would never rise again increased, the green grass gradually stained red with blood, and the heavy stench of blood filled the air, inducing nausea.

By the time the last assassin had been slain by the sword, Xiao Ruiyuan was once again soaked in blood, without a single dry spot on him.

The bodies of the assassins littered the ground. Xiao Jiu, unable to rest, led the remaining Dark Guards to check each body, and where they found an assassin still breathing, they swiftly delivered a final thrust to the heart.

This time, sixty-six assassins had been killed, more than in any previous encounter. Although all had been eradicated, Xiao Ruiyuan’s Hidden Guards had lost eleven, with only the last five remaining.

As he looked at the eleven lifeless bodies laid out on the ground, a deep sorrow flashed in Xiao Ruiyuan’s bloodshot eyes. He closed them for a moment, the bone-deep hatred persisting within him.

One day... one day, he would make those people pay the price they owed!

Even though they had been conditioned to cruelty from a young age, accustomed to life and death, and destined not to possess the normal emotions of ordinary people, the fact that their once companions in life and death were now just cold bodies still brought tears to the eyes of Xiao Jiu and the others.

Unable to bear leaving their bodies exposed to the wilderness, to become the feast for beasts and vultures, Xiao Jiu and the others, with heavy hearts, gathered tree branches and kindling from nearby woods, gently laid their comrades on top, lit the Fire match stick, and cremated them.

As they watched one by one their companions’ bodies consumed by flames, Xiao Jiu and the others struggled to hide their sorrow. Xiao Ruiyuan stood by, his own momentary stupefaction hidden as well.

However, danger arrived so suddenly that in that moment, an Arrow tipped with a blue glow, carrying a fierce wind, tore through the air, aimed straight at Xiao Ruiyuan’s chest...

Seeing Maomao, drenched in blood and looking panicked, Mo Yan’s face turned deathly pale, her limbs went weak, and she could barely sit in her chair.

"Sister—sister, what’s wrong with you?" Xin Er was the first to notice her distress and shouted with a pale face. She hadn’t forgotten that their oldest sister had been seriously ill last year, and even the Doctor couldn’t determine the cause. Although she had mysteriously recovered later, Xin Er was now very worried that something was wrong with her sister’s health.
