At this mont, a furious roar echoed. Ye Xiaofan unleashed his inner strength completely, recklessly charging towards Sato.
"What the hell?"
Sato hurriedly retracted his hand; he had no choice. Although he was confident enough to kill Shen Zuimo with that strike, he felt an extrely dangerous attack closing in on him.
He had to retreat; for the first ti, he felt death threatening him at such close range.
Xiaofan charged with incredible ferocity. When he sensed Shen Zuimo in danger, it was only natural for him to charge at all costs. No matter how skilled you are, you are not allowed to harm the woman he loves unless you step over his dead body.
This situation was much like when Xiaofan, driving with Zuimo to escape, was chased by Blood Wolf and others. Xiaofan also charged recklessly like this.
However, the current him was no longer the past Ye Xiaofan. He would no longer let the woman he loves get injured because of him, and he was determined to protect her.
In an instant, Sato was beaten into retreat by Xiaofan. His freakish speed made it impossible for Sato to see where the fists were coming from.
From a distance, the Third Young Master, who was engaging Cyan Dragon in battle, took a mont to glance over, his face full of astonishnt.
How is this possible? He knew well how terrifying Sato's skills were; how could he be rendered powerless by a young kid?
Just now, in the blink of an eye, this kid had managed to kill the Eighth Brother. What on earth is this kid's background?
"Ugh."
Suddenly, Xiaofan's inner strength paused for a mont, seemingly out of follow-up power, and the speed of his attack suddenly slowed down.
Feeling the weakness within his body, Xiaofan silently cursed in his heart.
"Hmph..." Sato snorted coldly and seized the mont Xiaofan's speed slowed to suddenly launch a strike against him.
'Bang.'
Xiaofan hurriedly blocked the opponent's attack and was abruptly shaken back more than ten steps before barely stabilizing himself.
"So your attacks can only be unleashed for a short period. You dared to boast earlier, but given your age with such strength, it seems I can't let you live tonight." Sato said coldly, striding swiftly towards Xiaofan.
Xiaofan knew what was happening to his body. Two days ago, two of his bodyguards were poisoned, and Xiaofan used his inner strength to expel the poison for them, leading to exhaustion that day. It had only been two days, and his body hadn't fully recovered to its peak. This sudden depletion was inevitable.
Actually, it was all thanks to the pill Ren Ling fed him that night; otherwise, he might not have even recovered two-tenths of his power this year.
To hold out for this long was an impressive feat indeed.
'Bang.'
Another loud bang resounded. Ye Xiaofan was again shaken to the side, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"Let's see how many more strikes you can take."
Yes, if this continues, he would eventually fall into the enemy's hands. This guy was even stronger than David by far; defeating him with his own strength was too difficult.
Old Mr. Ren, didn't you leave over thirty years of inner strength in my body? Could I borrow it for a mont now, please, just a bit?
'Whoosh.'
Just as Sato prepared his third strike, a figure flashed by. A successful sneak attack from the side distracted Sato's attention.
"Zuimo... quickly dodge. It's too dangerous to deal with him."
"Don't misunderstand, I just don't want to owe you too many favors." Shen Zuimo's tily appearance granted Xiaofan a mont to catch his breath, but the opponent before them couldn't be handled by two people alone.
Looking over at the other side, Lei Xiaolei and Li San had another helper. Xiaofan squinted to get a clearer look, and it was Ren Ying, an opponent he had encountered in the martial tournant before.
Who exactly were Cyan Dragon and Ren Ying? Why did they suddenly appear here to help Xiaofan? If they were people of Yanhuang Soul, then Xiaolei should have known them long before. Yet, Xiaofan had previously asked Xiaolei, and Xiaolei hadn't t them or even heard of them.
If so, then how did they know the Red Butterfly's people had actions planned today?
Xiaofan had no ti to ponder such extraneous matters anymore; the formidable enemy before him was the most crucial now.
"Nightingale, knowing my strength and still daring to co, you're seeking death." Sato coldly sneered, switching his moves to attack Shen Zuimo.
Here, Xiaofan quickly caught up, forcing the remaining bit of his inner strength to hold on.
Shen Zuimo suddenly dodged, causing Sato to miss, and in the next instant, two toothpicks shot straight towards his eyes.
Sato quickly tilted his head to dodge, but before he could stand upright, Shen Zuimo's attack reached in front of him, forcing him to retreat further to dispel Shen Zuimo's killer move.
As soon as Sato steadied himself and prepared to counterattack, Shen Zuimo dodged again. When Sato went for pursuit, Xiaofan's attack ca rushing at him once more.
The two coordinated with exceptional perfection. Even Shen Zuimo couldn't believe how the two of them, utilizing such simple and ordinary attacks, could perfectly fend off Sato, even managing to temporarily gain the upper hand.
Who was Sato, she definitely knew. Although the Life-taking Five Ghosts were extrely skilled, they had to respectfully call him Elder Sato upon seeing him. A high-ranking expert in the organization once got discovered for planning to betray it and was imdiately killed by Sato. Shen Zuimo rembered well; that would-be traitor was already a reserve candidate among the Bloodthirsty Thirteenth Young Master.
"Attack his left side." Xiaofan lowly instructed once more, flicking his wrist and sending out two more toothpicks.
Hearing this, Shen Zuimo didn't hesitate, charging directly towards his left. Sure enough, in Sato's dodge, he fell right into the range of Shen Zuimo's attack.
'Bang.'
Finally, Sato got hit squarely by Shen Zuimo, although Sato was a seasoned veteran and naturally knew how to avoid vital points in tis of crisis.
They were so close to eliminating the opponent, only for them to dodge; Shen Zuimo felt exceptionally regretful. But before she could think through the next step carefully, Xiaofan's figure rushed up beside her once more.
'Clang clang clang.'
Three hidden weapons were successfully knocked down by Xiaofan, who then charged directly towards Sato again.
"You zoned out, usually like to use a short dagger; why didn't you use it today?"
"It got knocked away by your partner earlier." Shen Zuimo unhappily replied and continued to keep pace with Xiaofan.
"Really..." Xiaofan frowned slightly. If they had sharp weapons, the lethality against their opponent would be even greater.
Since Shen Zuimo had successfully hit the opponent once earlier, there was bound to be a second ti. If Shen Zuimo held a sharp dagger in her hand, it would have been even better. What a pity indeed.
