Chapter 144 What To Do (1/2)
At about 50 meters above the ground, she could even see the light from a village very far away.
The scenery in the wilderness at night was not as mesmerizing as the cities because there was much less light around. It also was not beautiful, but one would still be captured by its unique serenity.
Su Emei could not help feeling her heart beating much faster. She turned around in shock and almost knocked into someone's face.
Since the two of them were extremely close, she could even see his long eyelashes clearly.
Feeling taken aback, she pulled her face away and saw a face that was as fair as a scholar's.
It was Li Ye's face!
His face was calm and collected, just like a deep lake without any waves on the surface. The cold moonlight splashed onto his face like a thin layer of frost, making him look grimmer than usual.
Su Emei almost could not believe what she was seeing.
”His cultivation level is so high that he could jump about 50 meters from the ground in one go?
”He saved me all by himself just now?
”But I was the one on guard at night, how could he have reacted so fast?
”Exactly how high is his cultivation?”
A piercing scream pulled Su Emei back to reality, she recognized it as Wei Xiaozhuang's voice.
She saw Wei Xiaozhuang running through the forest with a few assassins chasing after him. Multiple streaks of Sword and Knife Qi went after him and cut down one tree after another.
”Xiaozhuang!” shouted Su Emei as she became suddenly concerned. Wei Xiaozhuang had only been able to walk for a short while, so his flow of Spiritual Qi was still not smooth, hence the current situation was undoubtedly extremely dangerous for him!
She wanted to say something to Li Ye, but she felt her body falling down before she got the chance to do so. In the forest below her were numerous agile black figures jumping off of treetops and dashing toward them from six different directions!
Every assassin kept his head up, kept his knees close to his body, and held a sword in his hand. Their movements were as fast and sharp as arrows that just left the bow, aggressive and invincible!
Su Emei felt a trace of fear in herself.
She and Li Ye were falling rapidly while the assassins were approaching with unstoppable momentum, which put them naturally in a passive situation. All six extremely strong assassins besieging the two of them was simply too overwhelming for Su Emei to be able to respond to. Once the two of them landed at the point where the assassins planned to execute their attack, they would be in deep trouble!
”Watch out!” shouted Su Emei as she turned to look at Li Ye.
Li Ye looked as calm as usual.
He turned to Su Emei and smiled. It was just a casual smile, nothing special, but reassuring. He said to her, ”Don't be afraid.”
Su Emei was stunned for a moment.
When Li Ye was talking, he was facing Su Emei instead of looking at the six assassins. Meanwhile, he freed his left hand and pressed down with immense force!
One giant circular wave appeared right below them with a deafening boom, creating a huge, round-shaped reflective surface that crashed down to the ground. The Spiritual Qi released by it was so strong that both of their robes and hair were blown upward.
Su Emei looked down immediately and found that those six black figures all stopped the instant they hit the reflective surface. Under the great impact, their bodies were pushed away from the surface by more than 10 meters and fell into the forest, just like dumplings being dropped into a boiling pot!
A ripple effect spread across the entire forest with the impact of Spiritual Qi, like a peaceful lake being disrupted by a falling stone. Su Emei witnessed all of this while feeling astonished.
She took a deep breath and looked at Li Ye's eyes, all of this felt so surreal to her.
She finally realized how strong he actually was.
When Li Ye and Su Emei landed, the leaves were gradually falling off all the trees.
When Su Emei looked up again, she saw leaves flying in midair and falling onto the ground, like snowflakes or thousands of butterflies flying across the sky. Everything looked so poetic and picturesque under the sky full of stars.
Wei Xiaozhuang suddenly rushed out from the forests and rolled onto the floor as he yelled for help. Behind him were three black figures chasing after him as they stumbled across the forest.
Those three assassins stopped instantly when they noticed all their team members were gone and both Li Ye and Su Emei were unharmed. They were stunned for a moment and showed great fear toward Li Ye as they met his fierce eyes, then ran back into the forest immediately.
