Chapter 919: Chapter 917 Temporary Evasion
Because Chu Yihan was leading the way in front, the three of them hadn’t sustained many injuries, and when someone tried to attack from behind, Lu Ying successfully fended them off.
So although their progress was difficult, they still managed to tear a hole through the enemy ranks.
However, they knew that it would be impossible for just a few of them to fight their way out.
“Pfft!”
In front, the blood of the enemy soldiers splashed all over Su Yingxue and Saint Ruan, and the only thing they could smell in their nostrils was the scent of blood.
The enemy general yelled at them, “Stop! You can’t possibly escape! Surrender now, or we’ll kill you all!”
Su Yingxue couldn’t possibly stop, but Lu Ying retorted, “Don’t even think about it! Even if we die in battle, we will never surrender! General Su Hao and I will not surrender, especially now that we have a leader!”
“A leader…”
The enemy general took a moment to react, then his gaze landed on Chu Yihan, who was holding a sword. The bright gleam of his precious sword and his powerful presence, which no one dared approach, made the general realize instantly, “Chu Yihan! He’s the commander of the enemy forces, Ninth Prince Chu Yihan!”
“Capture Chu Yihan alive! Rally our troops!”
“Capture Chu Yihan alive!”
“And his Ninth Princess Consort, seize them!”
“Seize them!”
The soldiers who had been scared off by Chu Yihan were suddenly reinvigorated as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They launched a more ferocious attack on Su Yingxue and Saint Ruan, forcing them to divert their attention from aiding Su Hao to confront the enemy.
“Su Yingxue, be careful!”
Saint Ruan threw a handful of poison powder, taking down a small group of men who were about to land their blades on Su Yingxue.
He handed Su Hao completely over to Su Yingxue, “Hold your brother by yourself. I’m too busy now!”
His protection was vital to them!
It was far too dangerous for Su Yingxue to attend to Su Hao while her attention was divided.
Lu Ying stood guard by Su Hao’s side. Though she had sustained some minor injuries, she hadn’t let anyone touch Su Hao.
She knew it was difficult for Su Yingxue to support Su Hao alone, so she seized an opportunity when Su Yingxue was growing weary and seemed about to falter, stepping behind her and taking a blow from a soldier’s blade for her.
“Pfft!”
Lu Ying spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, her eyes filled with urgency as she warned, “Princess, be careful!”
Su Yingxue summoned her energy, kicked fiercely, and used her red jade soft whip to coil around the neck of their attacker, flinging him into the air.
The man landed heavily on the ground, his muscles torn and bones shattered!
“Lu Ying!”
“Lu Ying, how are you?”
Su Yingxue had no choice but to lay Su Hao down to help Lu Ying up.
Lu Ying, on her knees, suddenly looked up and charged toward Su Hao.
She threw herself into Su Hao’s arms, and the wound on her back from a recent blade strike received yet another gash.
“Ah!”
The pain of the flesh being sliced open made Lu Ying sweat cold sweat profusely.
Su Hao held her, his voice tinged with nervousness, “Lu Ying, are you alright? The wound on your back… hang in there!”
“Okay…”
Lu Ying responded gently, “For you, it’s alright.”
She struggled to summon a smile for Su Hao, causing him to feel an intense guilt.
“Your Highness, Lu Ying is severely injured; we must treat her wounds at once!”
Su Yingxue shouted this while continuing to fend off attacks, calling out to Chu Yihan.
Chu Yihan swung his sword, the sword energy fierce and roaring like a soaring dragon, unstoppable.
The dozen or so men in front of him were instantly slain.
He surveyed his surroundings and pointed to a cave, “In there!”
Su Yingxue and Su Hao, carrying Lu Ying, retreated into the cave,
