Chapter 29: Being murdered!

Under the moon-white light, Yun Ruoyan's red clothes were extremely eye-catching.

"Ah, he's heading towards us!" Yi Qianying was the first to call, so panicked that she did not know what to do.

Yun Ruoyao and the others turned pale as they confirmed Yi Qianying's exclamation. Obviously, he was trying to pull them with him! What a scary and cruel girl!

Yun Ruoyao and Yun Ruoyu cursed Yun Ruoyan in their hearts, but Yun Ruoyan did not care. With ghost-like footwork, he quickly passed through the gap between Yun Ruoyao and Yun Ruoyu, hiding behind the two of them!

Sharp-fingered tiger fang teeth appeared right after, and, not having time to dodge, the two girls could only raise their swords to block the attack.

Yun Ruoyao felt that defending against the tiger's canine teeth was like swinging her sword into an extremely hard piece of steel, and the counterattack shook her body. He was thrown backwards a few steps by this force; yun Ruoyu, on the other hand, fell to the ground. As he turned around, he spewed out a mouthful of blood.

This was the difference between a fourth rank and fifth rank blademaster: Yun Ruoyao was able to defend against the blows of a sharp-fanged tiger and survived the shock but unscathed, whereas Yun Ruoyu suffered internal injuries as a result.

"Ah, Brother Ziao, be careful!" Yi Qianying called out.

After realizing that Yun Ruoyao and Yun Ruoyu could barely defend against a single blow, he used his footwork again to hide behind Pei Ziao.

Although Pei Ziao and Yun Ruoyao were both fifth rank sword masters, Yun Ruoyao had only become fifth rank in less than half a year.

On the other hand, Pei Ziao had already been a rank five swordsman for at least two years.

Based on Yun Ruoyan's understanding of his cultivation, he had the strength to deal three blows from the sharp-fanged tiger.

Pei Ziao's weapon was a long spear that could be extended or contracted at will. After blocking the two blows, he found a gap in the tiger's defense and thrust his spear into one yellow eye.

As he thrust out, the spear itself widened twice its original length, and it seemed like his punch would succeed.

But after being hit on the chest by Yun Ruoyan, the tiger became more alert, and tilted its head as the punch landed, grabbing the spear between its canines.

He had originally planned to break it in a single blow, but he had not expected the spear to be as strong as his canine teeth.

After all, Pei Ziao was the sole heir to the Pei family. After he almost lost his life while trying to save Yun Ruoyan, Pei Yingxiong became more concerned for his safety and even lent his own weapons for this expedition.

Pei Ziao refused to let go of the spear stuck between the tiger's canine teeth.

The tiger shook its head furiously, and Pei Ziao was thrown into the air.

"Sister Ziao, let go!" Yi Qianying shouted at him from afar.

Pei Ziao gritted his teeth. This spear was his father's treasure, and he was reluctant to just hand it over. But his life was more important, and, in the end, Pei Ziao released his grip, his body flying into the air and coincidentally curving down towards Yi Qianying.

"Aah!" Yi Qianying screamed in pain.

Beside and watching all this happen was Yun Ruoyan, and she could only shake her head and sigh. This pair of forbidden lovers seemed destined to be together!

After the sharp-fanged tiger crippled Pei Ziao, he turned around and started attacking Yun Ruoyan once again.

Why does he keep chasing me? Does my smell so tempting?!

The tiger loosened its jaws and dropped its spear to the ground. Immediately after, he opened his jaws wide and pounced on Yun Ruoyan.

At first, the tiger was playing with Yun Ruoyan like a cat with a mouse, but the battle completely exposed his animal nature.

Yun Ruoyan leaped off the ground, dodging the attacks of the sharp-fanged tiger. His sharp canine teeth landed where Yun Ruoyan had been before, and a huge hole immediately appeared on the ground!

Yun Ruoyan rolled over and dodged before picking up the spear that Pei Ziao had dropped, then imitating his attacking attitude.

“Ruoyan, throw me the spear!” Pei Ziao called Yun Ruoyan. "This spear can only be handled by a rank five sword master, you won't be able to use it at all!"

He was about to run when Yi Qianying clutched his wrist tightly.

"Sister Ziao, I'm scared!"

He had just been smashed to the ground by Pei Ziao's body. Based on his cultivation, it shouldn't be a problem for him, but, intentionally or not, he was also spewing blood from his mouth.

Pei Ziao looked at Yi Qianying, lying on her lap with a terrified expression on her small face, a few traces of blood on her lips, and her heart pounding.

Yun Ruoyan naturally ignored Pei Ziao's words. While the sharp-fanged tiger was recovering from its failed blow, he quickly thrust a spear into its body.

But because the spear was too heavy, Yun Ruoyan did not use enough force in her puncture, and the spear ended up just stabbing the front leg of the tiger, barely injuring the beast.

Angrily, the tiger swung its tail towards the spear. This time, Yun Ruoyan was unable to respond to the attack quickly enough and flew into the air.

“You're really looking for death, aren't you?!” Pei Ziao shouted in frustration. He told her that he would not be able to use the spear, he ignored her, and look what happened!

Seeing that the prey he had chased for half a day had finally fallen, the tiger howled in excitement. It would pierce Yun Ruoyan with its canine teeth as several arrows flew towards his eyelids.

The tiger turned around and glanced at the source of the arrow. Zhuo Yifeng was hanging on a tree not far from there, pulling his bow and aiming it at the tiger.

"Sister Ruoyan, are you okay?" His two cousins looked back at his prone body.

Yun Ruoyan wanted to stand up, but her chest hurt so much that she could barely sit down using the spear as a crutch.

At this point, Yun Ruoyao staggered to Pei Ziao's side with the injured Yun Ruoyu.

"There is no need for us to judge death with them!" Yun Ruoyu exclaimed, clutching her chest.

The tiger's punch had caused quite serious internal injuries. Even though he had consumed the life essence pill that had been given to him, he could no longer fight.

“That sharp-toothed tiger is only interested in him. We have to run now while we can, or he will chase us after he is done with him, ” Yun Ruoyu continued.

“I never thought Ruoyan would try to use us as her shield.” Yun Ruoyao shook her head in disappointment. “And to think we treat her like a sister! How much more violent was he ?! ”

Yun Ruoyao and Yun Ruoyao easily forgot about how they usually conspired against Yun Ruoyan, as well as who pushed her into the lake from the start. Right now, all they could think of was the fact that Yun Ruoyan should be the most evil woman in the entire world.

"That's right! He was the first to try to take advantage of us!”

“But what if Uncle finds out that we left Ruoyan to die?” Yi Qianying asked calmly.

“There is no proof of any of it! As long as we don't mention anything, no one will know!” Yun Ruoyao's eyes flashed dangerously. “In addition, even if they knew, wouldn't it be better for him to die and we live than for everyone to die together? I'm sure Dad won't say anything. Are you coming with me or not ?!

Yi Qianying looked at Pei Ziao pitifully, and a snippet of conversation with her father flashed through her mind. “I think second daughter Yun is easy to manipulate, but it turns out she is strong-willed. If you can't get close to her, then you better let her be for now."

Pei Ziao looked at Yi Qianying on his lap, thinking that safety was more important. He could return tomorrow to reclaim his father's spear if he had to! At that time, Yun Ruoyan and the others would probably be completely consumed by the tiger, so even their corpses would not be left behind.

"All right, we're leaving!" Pei Ziao stood up, helped support Yi Qianying, and rushed into the forest with sister Yun.

As he did so, he subconsciously turned around and suddenly met with a mocking gaze of Yun Ruoyan. Alertly, he turned around and started walking even faster.

Upon seeing Yun Ruoyao and the others escape, Yun Ruoyan completely relaxed.

With them around him, he was afraid of exposing too much of his strength, and he also did not dare to use the strength of the bracelet too much.

Even so, they were already shocked by his abilities. If he were to reveal his true strength, it would definitely cause him unnecessary trouble.

“Ruoyan, the rest are really running away! Those sobbing cowards!”

Lin Qingxue half-kneeled on Yun Ruoyan's side. Blood seeped out from his mouth; his cultivation was not too far away from Yun Ruoyu, and he also suffered internal injuries due to the ridiculous strength of the tiger.

"For some reason, I'm the only one the tiger is focusing on," Yun Ruoyan said as she tried to catch her breath. "If we really can't beat him, don't worry about me and run!"

"What are you saying, Ruoyan ?!" Lin Qingxue was furious. “We are brothers, and we will live and die together! We won't just leave you like that foolish sister Yun!”

Lin Qingxue vomited two sips of saliva, but she was still annoyed.

Yun Ruoyan's heart warmed. He gripped Lin Qingxue's hand, promising, "I swear I won't let you guys die."

In front of them, Lin Qingchen and Zhuo Yifeng together stopped the tiger, but their defense almost collapsed.

Yun Ruoyan hurriedly swallowed her life essence pill, which melted in her mouth. A burst of energy emanated from the pill, quickly healing his wound.

This time, Yun Ruoyan did not hide the strength that the bracelet had given her. He exerted all his strength into his right hand, which was holding Pei Ziao's spear, and stood up from the ground.

"Sister Ruoyan!" Lin Qingchen looked at Yun Ruoyan confusedly, suddenly having the impression that her sister looked like an extremely strong cultivator.

"You won't have my life so easily, beast!" Yun Ruoyan flew towards the tiger.

"Surge!" He shouted to Lin Qingchen and Zhuo Yifeng. The two turned around, saw a shadowy figure flying towards them, and subconsciously retreated.

Seeing Yun Ruoyan's approach, the tiger howled and leaped forward.

The others, upon realizing that Yun Ruoyan was preparing for a direct confrontation with the beast, quickly turned pale.

With his footwork, Yun Ruoyan dodged the tiger's preemptive attack before leaping high into the air.

He gripped the spear tightly with both hands, aiming it at the tiger's brain.

It sank to the head of the tiger.

This series of actions, graceful and smooth, was completed in the blink of an eye. The result made Zhuo Yifeng, Lin Qingchen, Lin Qingxue, and Zhuo Lin'er, hide in the branches of the large tree, all of them stunned.

The sharp-fanged tiger opened its jaws, but no longer had the energy to make a sound. It looked at Yun Ruoyan, its body still in the air, its eyes widened in disbelief.

Yun Ruoyan looked at the tiger's eyes, a gleaming smile on her lips. He set both of his feet on the tiger's head and pulled out his spear, somersaulted in midair, and landed on the ground.

The next moment, the tiger's gigantic body fell at his feet!
