Chapter 212: Love to the Bone

Cold light burst forth!

Nanli’s gaze sharpened as she exerted all her strength, tightly grabbing hold of the blade!

The blade cut into her flesh, blood instantly soaking her palm, dripping down like beads without end.

Xuanyuan Cang hadn’t expected her to react this way. He paused slightly, then sneered, "You truly love him to the bone, to be able to endure this much."

The sinister aura along the blade merged with her blood, surging into her body, about to corrode her soul!

Seeing Nanli in unbearable pain, her small face contorted with wrinkles, Xuanyuan Cang became even more excited, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. He didn’t rush to pull out the blade.

Nanli’s hand throbbed with pain, the sinister aura corroding her soul. It felt as if her soul was about to split apart. She gritted her teeth, enduring the agony.

At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind: this sword must not fall on Ye Siheng!

Seeing a layer of black mist covering her face, Xuanyuan Cang decided not to wait any longer.

"Die, Nanli of Chu!" he withdrew the long sword.

Nanli’s palm injury worsened, and she collapsed onto Ye Siheng. Gasping for breath, she suddenly raised her hand as Xuanyuan Cang swung the sword down again. With her blood, she quickly drew a seal, emitting a bright light. A golden flash pushed back the sinister aura, forcing Xuanyuan Cang several meters away.

The Border Nation guards rushed to support Xuanyuan Cang.

Somewhat shocked, Xuanyuan Cang didn’t expect Nanli, weakened as she was, to still be able to draw a life-saving seal. He smirked, watching the sinister aura on the blade slowly dissipate, feeling even more furious.

"Kill them!" Xuanyuan Cang ordered his guards, not bothering to act himself.

Without hesitation, the Border Nation guards brandished their weapons and attacked the two on the bed.

Nanli bit her lip, using her blood to draw another seal quickly on Ye Siheng’s body. This consumed the last of her strength, and she staggered.

The cold light was about to strike.

A fierce wind swept in!

At that moment, an internal force shot out, breaking the guards’ blades and making their hands numb.

Startled, they turned to see Ye Siheng waking up.

He got up, one arm around Nanli, protecting her carefully.

Seeing her bloodied hand and her weak breath, his whole body seemed to freeze, a pang of pain almost making it hard to breathe.

"A’Li..." Ye Siheng’s nose tingled, tearing a strip of cloth from his garment to bandage her hand.

But her wound was too deep, and the bleeding couldn’t be stopped for a moment.

"I’m fine... you deal with them first," Nanli’s voice was weak.

Ye Siheng knew what was urgent now.

Glancing over, his eyes turned cold.

In the flickering candlelight, his face appeared exceptionally pale.

He stared at Xuanyuan Cang and said word by word, "We guarded against dangers day and night, yet still couldn’t guard against you."

He had managed to break free from the dream halfway through, but due to the suppression of the Dream-Making Enchanting Bug, he had been unable to fully wake up. It was Nanli’s seal that finally brought his consciousness back, saving them both from disaster.

Xuanyuan Cang felt a tremor in his heart, unexpected fear rising within him.

After all, the Dream-Making Enchanting Bug in Ye Siheng’s body had died, and his strength was no longer suppressed!

But after careful consideration, Xuanyuan Cang realized that in the entire Wang mansion, only Ye Siheng had returned to normal. There was no need for him to fear.

After waiting so long for this opportunity, how could he let it slip away!

"Only him, everyone attack together! Whoever chops off his head will be heavily rewarded!" Xuanyuan Cang shouted.

The guards didn’t hesitate, charging forward in unison.

With a disdainful snort, Ye Siheng pulled out a long sword from a hidden compartment beside the bed and engaged in combat with the guards. Despite being surrounded, he held his ground. On the contrary, many of the guards had been injured by Ye Siheng to some extent, their bodies already showing signs of blood.

Seeing that Ye Siheng couldn’t break free, Xuanyuan Cang turned his attention to the weak and powerless Nanli.

Without any hesitation, he aimed the sword straight at Nanli.

Nanli couldn’t even lift her hand at this point. She couldn’t help but wonder, is today the day she dies?

However, a powerful light suddenly burst forth from her chest!

The force was mighty!

Xuanyuan Cang was caught off guard and was pushed back by the tremendous force.

Snap—

He fell to the ground, breaking two ribs!

Xuanyuan Cang coughed up blood, his face filled with disbelief.

What was it? What protective treasure did she still have?!

Nanli was also taken aback. Bathed in the light, she finally regained some strength.

Taking out the item from her chest, it was her spirit pearl.

The crack remained.

The light gradually faded.

Nanli pursed her lips, tightly gripping the spirit pearl.

Xuanyuan Cang’s eyes widened in astonishment. He hadn’t expected the spirit pearl to have such an effect. He refused to accept it, struggling to get up, still intending to attack Nanli.

On the other side, Ye Siheng had already dispatched two guards with one sword.

This provided him with an opening. The remaining guards were disoriented under Ye Siheng’s fierce onslaught and were no match for him.

When facing enemies, Ye Siheng never showed mercy. In an instant, he cut the throats of several guards.

In the blink of an eye, only Xuanyuan Cang was left in the room.

Moonlight spilled in, and Xuanyuan Cang felt a chill.

Terrified, he dared not breathe, staring at Ye Siheng in horror. "I am... I am the ruler of Border Nation. If you kill me, Border Nation will surely retaliate against Mu Nation!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Whether you live or die, you will still ally with Qi Nation to attack Mu Nation," Ye Siheng said, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

Xuanyuan Cang felt a chill down his spine. "You..."

"When you came to Mu Nation, you had already made arrangements for the aftermath. You returned the throne to the royal family on the condition that you would ally with Qi Nation to attack Mu Nation," Ye Siheng said, "Am I right?"

Feeling the intense pain from his broken ribs, Xuanyuan Cang couldn’t help but laugh. The pain intensified.

Clutching his side in pain, he grimaced, "The Ninth Prince’s spies are indeed formidable to have such clear intelligence."

His aunt had passed away, and he no longer had any attachment to the mortal world. If not for seeking revenge for his aunt, he would have gone to the underworld long ago to join her.

"So, whether you live or die, the result is the same," Ye Siheng raised his sword toward him.

Xuanyuan Cang’s eyes swept over the two people with a sinister gaze.

His lips turned pale, his face twisted with coldness, and his voice was full of resentment, "Ye Siheng, today, it’s not you who killed me, but I chose not to live. Just wait and see, you won’t be arrogant for long!"

The sinister aura on the blade had been cleared by Nanli. He had nothing to fear, so he wiped his neck with the sword.

Blood sprayed out.

Xuanyuan Cang’s eyes remained wide open, but he had already lost his breath.
