Under the pale moonlight stood a young man, around twenty-six or seven years old!
The collar of the young man's shirt was slightly open, with the sleeves rolled up to his mid-arm, revealing wheat-colored skin. His eyes were deep and spirited, and paired with his fairly handsome young face, he looked like a carefree gentleman of a turbulent world!
Especially at this moment, the young man's lips carried a faint smile.
Seeing the young man in the moonlight, the woman with the golden mask leading the group slightly changed her expression: "Marshal!"
When she uttered the word 'Marshal', her bright and charming eyes were filled with surprise.
Not only this woman, but Wu Mei was also surprised.
She never had any hope that Ye Xunhuan would appear and come to rescue her.
After all, apart from that time they accidentally got involved, there was almost no entanglement between them, and they belonged to different camps.
So she hadn't thought Ye Xunhuan would appear here, would come to rescue her.
But unexpectedly, when faced with a situation with no way out, there was a turn for the better, and Ye Xunhuan appeared.
Appeared right in front of her.
Ye Xunhuan, full of smiles, looked at the masked woman in front of him and said, "Turns out you're near my house, but why not come over for a visit and let me entertain you well!"
Looking at Ye Xunhuan right in front of her, the woman was filled with vigilance, her heart heavy with gravity!
"I would like to visit the Marshal's place, but I think I might not be very welcome?" The woman said softly, "Moreover, I am worried about your sword, Marshal!"
According to what this woman knew, Ye Xunhuan, the Sword God, appeared and disappeared unpredictably, making it completely impossible to guard against.
"That's true!" Ye Xunhuan nodded seriously, "Friends are welcome with good wine, enemies are confronted with shotguns!"
"So, Marshal intends to take action against us?"
"I'm in a good mood today, release her and leave!" Ye Xunhuan said lightly, "Otherwise, you don't need to go!"
As his voice fell, the killing intent accumulated from countless blood and bones hidden in Ye Xunhuan's body suddenly emerged.
Instantly, the entire courtyard was enveloped in a suppressive and stifling atmosphere of hostility, and everyone felt like a giant stone was pressing on their hearts, making it difficult to breathe.
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan seemed to have brought them to an ancient battlefield where bodies were wrapped in horse leather, making them feel as if broken limbs and the desolation of the desert surrounded them.
Feeling the killing intent from Ye Xunhuan, the woman's face under the mask changed slightly, and her heart jumped to her throat: "Marshal, you can release her, but I have one condition!"
"Do you have the qualifications to negotiate with me?" Ye Xunhuan's voice became cold and hollow at this moment!
"Marshal, she is in my hands..."
"I never said you couldn't kill her!" Ye Xunhuan interrupted the woman directly, "If you want to kill her, do it quickly, stop wasting time. After you kill her, I'll kill you all, so I can tell the Hidden Dragon that you killed her, and I've avenged her!"
"I'm giving you one last chance. Either release her or kill her quickly!"
Looking at Ye Xunhuan, who was impervious to both soft and hard tactics, the woman felt her heart sink to the extreme: "Marshal, do you really not care if she lives or dies?"
"You sure talk a lot!"
Perhaps sensing Ye Xunhuan's impatience, the woman quickly spoke again: "Marshal, as long as you let our people go, I absolutely won't harm her; otherwise, if you want to fight, then fight!"
"Unaware of one's mortality!"
Before the words had fully left his lips, Ye Xunhuan moved.
Just then, the woman shouted urgently: "Kill him, kill him..."
As she was speaking, the woman hurriedly pulled Wu Mei towards the room, retreating.
This was the Marshal, extraordinarily skilled, and more importantly, Ye Xunhuan truly appeared to ignore Wu Mei's fate.
Just as the woman was retreating into the room with Wu Mei, a dull sound suddenly echoed!
The dull sound spread, and then a splash of blood soared into the sky, as the head of one of the men was suddenly smashed by Ye Xunhuan at some point, spilling red and white matter everywhere.
Ye Xunhuan moved with incredible speed, fast beyond belief, or rather, he moved like a specter emerging from the ground, his figure flickering away, and when he reappeared, another dull sound was heard, accompanied by a column of blood soaring into the sky.
"Did you think you could stop me?"
This abrupt voice, like a query from the infernal underworld, sent chills down everyone's spine, filling their hearts with the desire to flee.
Ye Xunhuan was too terrifying; they couldn't lock onto his figure at all. He was like a demon, flickering away, and when he reappeared, he took away a fresh life.
In an instant, the air was filled with the sounds of dull thuds, and each time they sounded, another headless corpse would appear on the ground!
Watching their companions turn into headless corpses one by one lying on the ground, those who were still alive felt as if they were in an icy grotto, in hell itself, and fear filled their hearts completely, driving them step by step towards death in terror.
And Ye Xunhuan was the reaper of their lives!
The fragility of life was fully displayed at this moment, in a most unyielding fashion.
The originally clean and tidy yard instantly became like a human purgatory, with flesh and corpses everywhere, the crimson blood nourishing the withered yellow grass, glaring under the bright moonlight!
In just a minute or two, only Ye Xunhuan was left standing in the courtyard, while everyone else was lying in pools of blood, remaining on this land forever.
Looking at his handiwork on the ground, instead of showing any remorse, Ye Xunhuan's lips slowly curved upwards, revealing a strange smile.
It was like black humor.
"The night underestimates me by sending you worthless trash!"
As his words fell, Ye Xunhuan directly lifted his foot and walked towards the room.
Instantly, Ye Xunhuan entered the room.
Inside, the woman was hiding in the corner, clutching Wu Mei, and upon seeing Ye Xunhuan walk in from outside, her pupils immediately contracted, and her slender jade hand gripped tightly around Wu Mei's neck: "Marshal, if you dare come closer, I'll kill her..."
Ye Xunhuan looked at the woman with disdain: "How do you plan to die?"
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan resembled an ancient emperor ruling the world, like a god, exuding a commanding aura, and revealing a dominance that controlled life and death, making others submit!
