However, it was obvious that Hoshino igetsu had prepared for hidden weapons in her surroundings, but multiple hidden weapons were attacking her at the sa ti, making them extrely hard to defend against. Furthermore, there were three formidable opponents glaring at her.
Hoshino igetsu quickly responded, her folding fan fluttering, attempting to dodge the hidden weapons aid at her. While she managed to avoid the hidden weapons, she couldn't evade Bald's Phantom Blade.
The Phantom Blade from Bald slashed across Hoshino igetsu's body, and blood imdiately spilled out.
Ling Zhenfei was shocked, not expecting Hoshino igetsu to be injured. Originally, Hoshino igetsu had so advantage, but unexpectedly, the situation changed.
The injured Hoshino igetsu's strength indeed greatly diminished, and during the fight, she had to cover the wound with her hand.
"Haha, little girl, you're injured. Why don't you surrender quickly?"
"That's right. If you surrender now, perhaps if the Hoshino Family cos to claim you, we can still return you."
"Yeah, little girl, you should surrender to avoid suffering more pain."
Hoshino igetsu angrily replied: "Despicable people, utterly delusional. Life or death is still up in the air."
The three people from the Watanabe Family beca angry: "Since you say that, we won't show any rcy."
The three of them quickened their actions, and Hoshino igetsu's diminished strength was no match for them. After a few moves, Watanabe Jiro struck her with a punch, sending her flying.
Ling Zhenfei realized that Hoshino igetsu was in trouble and that escaping was no longer an option.
If the people from the Watanabe Family found out it was Hoshino igetsu, the Celestial Maiden of Ittō-ryū, it was unimaginable what might happen. Ling Zhenfei was sowhat afraid to think about it. Regardless, Hoshino igetsu ca for him.
Would he regret it later if he didn't save her? However, saving Hoshino igetsu now would offend the Watanabe Family, sothing he couldn't afford. Even if he did offend them, it should wait until the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth was in his hands.
Clearly, it wasn't suitable to fall out with the Watanabe Family now, as it conflicted with his plans. Yet, not saving Hoshino igetsu also weighed on his conscience.
Recalling the way she spoke to him earlier, he felt so reluctance; it pained Ling Zhenfei to imagine such a beautiful woman being ruined.
At this point, Hoshino igetsu returned to the fight, but her combat strength had decreased significantly, making her no match for the three opponents, and she was sent flying again with a punch.
Hoshino igetsu found it difficult even to stand up this ti.
The three surrounded Hoshino igetsu. Bald said, "Everyone knows the won of the Hoshino Family are good-looking, I wonder about this one."
Watanabe Jiro, his eyes gleaming with lust, said, "Third brother, no need to say more. I've seen countless won, and although I can't see her face clearly now, my years of experience with won tell she's definitely a beauty."
"Old Two, does it matter whether she's a beauty to you? Just her figure alone, one leg is enough for you to play with for a year."
The three laughed out loud together, provoking Hoshino igetsu's furious face: "You shaless scoundrels, despicable."
Watanabe Jiro said: "You haven't seen anything yet. But don't worry, tonight I'll show you what I'm made of."
After speaking, Watanabe Jiro reached out to grab Hoshino igetsu. At that mont, the sound of sothing piercing through the air suddenly erged.
Experts like them are extrely alert. Upon hearing the sound, they knew it was a hidden weapon. He quickly dodged to the side as a black object skimd past him.
"Who is it, who's ambushing ?" Watanabe Jiro glared towards the direction where the hidden weapon flew from.
"Three of you bullying one woman, don't you feel a bit ashad?"
With these words, Ling Zhenfei erged from the darkness. At this ti, Ling Zhenfei wore a black outfit with a mask covering his face, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"Who are you; are you with Ittō-ryū?"
"No doubt about it, turns out he ca with this woman."
"Let's not waste words then; everyone attack together."
After these words, the three charged at Ling Zhenfei, launching an attack.
But before erging, Ling Zhenfei had already made all preparations, intending not to really fight them but find a way to rescue Hoshino igetsu and leave.
Hoshino igetsu was probably surprised too, not knowing when such a helping hand appeared. But it was fortunate this hand ca; otherwise, she would have been captured.
The three from the Watanabe Family attacked Ling Zhenfei, but Ling Zhenfei's fists were already ready, whistling and striking towards the three.
The Northern Spiritual Energy on his fists spilled towards them, and so managed to dodge while others deflected, taking on Ling Zhenfei's move. However, Ling Zhenfei's second punch was already on its way.
The Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists struck at the three, delivering several punches in a short ti, forcing the Watanabe trio to retreat repeatedly.
Ling Zhenfei dared not continuously use the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists, fearing Watanabe Nagayumi might realize because it was the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists that defeated Watanabe Nagayumi before. If these people went back and reported, it would be easily discovered.
Therefore, after a few punches, Ling Zhenfei didn't dare to use the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists again. Suddenly, the air around moved, and fallen plum blossoms on the ground rose into the air.
These plum blossoms grew increasingly nurous, even swirling up petals that hadn't fallen from the trees.
This was the true Plucking Leaves and Flying Flowers; the plum blossoms shot towards the people around like swords, incredibly intimidating.
Though intimidating, in reality, it wasn't very powerful as it spread the Northern Spiritual Energy too broadly, diluting its force.
Yet seeing such a grand spectacle naturally made the surrounding people fearful, each using their own thods to either dodge or block with their weapons.
In an instant, the surrounding petals seed to be driven by a tornado, sweeping towards the surrounding people, all of whom used their Northern Spiritual Energy to block. The tornado quickly subsided.
But at this mont, everyone froze because the previously injured Hoshino igetsu on the ground was gone, as was the mysterious black-clad figure who had just appeared.
"Not good, we've been tricked. Everyone, search quickly! Carrying a person can't go far."
"Don't worry, all four gates are sealed; there's no way they could have gone far with a person. Search."
"Find them, regardless of life or death."
A few of them shouted loudly, and everyone began searching. Although the Watanabe Family's place was large, it could quickly be thoroughly searched.
anwhile, Ling Zhenfei was feeling quite anxious because he noticed Hoshino igetsu's injuries were severe. What irritated Ling Zhenfei the most was that he didn't know where to go.
Due to excessive blood loss, Hoshino igetsu was becoming drowsy. Ling Zhenfei sealed the acupoints around her wounds to prevent further bleeding.
However, Ling Zhenfei knew that all the exits were sealed. Escaping wouldn't be easy, and hearing the shouting around him ant the searchers were already closing in.
