Chapter 178: The Exchange Among Three Nations (Part 7)

After a long while.

Su RAO looked up at the sun that had moved halfway across the sky, then sat down to prepare the rabbit for roasting, her anger subsiding.

Turning into calmness.

Just as she sat down, a faint sound echoed again.

Su RAO's eyebrows twitched once more.

This time, they were truly here.

As this thought crossed her mind, a group of black-clad figures appeared in the air.

They leaped onto the peak of Queya Mountain.

Each one was dressed in black and masked.

Seeing that they were indeed black-clad figures, Su RAO's brows furrowed.

With just one glance, Su RAO realized these suddenly appearing black-clad figures were not her own men.

"Who are you?"

She asked in a deep voice.

For these black-clad figures exuded a murderous aura, indicating they were certainly not Yun MU Yi's secret guards.

Secret guards would never reveal their presence.

Moreover, they were all masked in black.

"Remember, capture her alive."

The leader's gaze fell directly on Su RAO, ignoring her question.

His long sword pointed at Su RAO's face, and he lunged forward, his sword thrusting towards her with lethal intent.

The other black-clad figures also moved.

In an instant, they surrounded Su RAO.

Su RAO lightly tapped her foot and retreated, simultaneously kicking the fire towards them.

Her red robes glowed, and her eyes were icy cold as she held her folding fan.

She spoke again:

"Who are you exactly?"

The black-clad figures remained silent, each sword thrust aimed at Su RAO.

In a moment, swords swept through the air, each blow closing in.

The surrounding trees swayed from the force of the sword winds.

These black-clad figures said they wanted her alive, so they held back somewhat. However, they underestimated the woman before them.

Within moments, dozens had fallen to Su RAO's fan blades, their blood staining the tender grass sprouting on the cliff peak.

Such slaughter erupted on the cliff peak.

Meanwhile, not far from the cliff peak, in a grove of trees in a nearby ravine.

Yun MU Yue and Yun MU Yi...

"Fourth Royal Brother, you..."

Seeing his Fourth Royal Brother, who should have been under house arrest at the Fourth Prince's residence, appear in Queya Mountain, Yun MU Yue quickly dismounted and ran over two steps.

"How did you get here..."

His face filled with shock, his steps hurried, but he kept his voice low, afraid of alarming the guards or other participants in the Wuxu Hunt in Queya Mountain.

Knowing Yun MU Yi was here.

"Eight Royal Brother, pretend you didn't see me."

A glint reflected off something behind him. Seeing Yun MU Yue's anxious, lowered voice, the glint quietly disappeared. Yun MU Yi did not say more and continued walking away, but Yun MU Yue grabbed his arm.

"Fourth... Brother..."

This time, he called him "Brother," no longer using the formal "Fourth Royal Brother."

"Fourth Brother, are you planning something again? What have you done? Don't be foolish anymore; you can't win against Crown Prince Royal Brother..."

"Eight Royal Brother..."

Yun MU Yi's voice turned grim, his gaze falling on Yun MU Yue.

Dark clouds gathered in his eyes.

The warmth in his brow had vanished without a trace, no longer present.

"Why was I confined? If it weren't for Yun MU Rui colluding with Yun MU Xiao and the Yao family to scheme against me, how could I have suffered such a defeat and ended up like this? Since I'm suffering, they won't be comfortable either..."

Yun Mu Yi pulled Yun Mu Yue's hand off his arm.

"Eight弟, 四哥还没输，只要我还活着一天，我就没输。我的事你别管，你也从未在这里见过我。做好你的八皇子，少来掺和我的事。"

Pushing Yun Mu Yue away forcefully, Yun Mu Yi circled around him and left.

Eighth Imperial Brother, never grow up, never!

Yun Mu Yue 咬紧了嘴唇。

Seeing Yun Mu Yi about to disappear from his sight, a sudden surge of panic rose in his heart.

If he doesn’t stop Fourth Brother this time, Fourth Brother will disappear forever…

This thought suddenly flooded her mind, and Yun Mu Yue quickly chased after him, once again holding Yun Mu Yi back just before he was about to climb the cliff.

"Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, listen to your younger brother’s words. You must not cause any trouble at the Three Kingdoms Exchange Conference. If Father Emperor finds out that you secretly left the prince’s residence to come here and stir up trouble, he will be furious."

Gripping Yun Mu Yi's arm tightly, Yun Mu Yue stood directly in front of him, blocking his path. She was determined to stop him no matter what.

"Fourth Brother, today, no matter what, I won’t let you leave. If you really go, then step over my dead body."

Yun Mu Yue stiffened her neck and spoke with a forceful tone.

In that instant, the bright red blood on the cliff once again drenched the grass, and the thick scent of blood permeated the entire precipice.

The clear mountain stream at the foot of the cliff, just flowing clear, would be stained with a deep crimson, intertwining water with blood.

"你们和寒漠尘有何关系？"

After hundreds of moves, Su Ráo recognized the black-clothed man's martial arts techniques. These black-clothed men seemed to be from the same sect as the ones killed by Han Mòchen on the rear mountain of her villa last time.

The leading figure in black said, "No wonder that person went to great lengths to hide. It turns out that the ugly Su girl from Yunlang Nation has deceived everyone. If you want to know the truth, you might as well surrender quietly."

The force in his hand increased once more, and the long sword clashed with the fan blade again, emitting a crisp sound.

背后又有一把大刀逼近。

Su Ráo immediately sidestepped to evade the attack, then swiftly kicked out. The kick was extremely precise and vicious, sending the black-clad figure flying behind him.

黑衣人砸落在悬崖下的山沟内，激起层层水花。

The moment the black-clad figure was dealt with, another one attacked, appearing right before him.

前赴后继，一刻都不给 Su Ráo 喘息的机会。

Su Ráo 眉目间杀意凛然，下手毫不留情，折扇一出便是一条人命陨落，这些黑衣人死伤惨重。

领头之人见此情景，心中一沉，当即又一声交代。

只要留着命，断胳膊少腿都可。

这个命令一出，剩余的黑衣人再无保留，一个个攻势凌厉，周围的树木草地皆被摧毁。

Su Ráo 只一人，终究双拳难敌四手，一个不慎之际手臂被一剑划伤。

艳红的衣裙上出现血色也轻易看不见，只是衣裙的颜色愈发赤红了而已。

又一脚踹翻一个黑衣人，Su Ráo 与那领头之人两掌一碰，Su Ráo 后退一步，身后便是悬崖边缘。

此刻，自悬崖山沟流淌倾泻的溪水又被血色所染，流水带着血色一泻千里，哗哗激荡。

"你已没有退路，乖乖束手就擒，也能少受些罪。"

剩下的十多个黑衣人再次将 Su Ráo 包围住，前路皆堵，除了身后的悬崖，Su Ráo 已无任何退路。

擦了一把嘴角的血迹，桃花明眸扫过那领头之人，Su Ráo 冷声哼笑：

"在本郡主的字典里，从来就没有‘乖’这个字眼。"

桃花明眸灼然，手中折扇再次挥动，Su Ráo 再次杀入其中。

三千青丝乱飞，随风摇曳，艳红衣裙迎着风，杀意高昂。

桃花明眸四周艳赤早已绚烂晕染。

她现在还不能后退离开，否则等依影他们来此……

"既然你如此不识抬举……"

领头之人冷哼一声。

血色又一次弥漫而出，Su Ráo 身上又添了几道伤痕。

双方如此厮杀，皆未注意到走离的 Yun Ji 竟又折了回来。

此前还是那种淡然月色，可这一刻，他周身气韵大变。

清风明月之韵完全被一种难以言明的冷瑟孤凉遮掩。

如此陌生。
