The fiery red signal flare shot straight into the sky with a whoosh and then exploded in the air. The dazzling light illuminated the entire courtyard red. Two terrifying auras seemed to have been summoned and quickly approached the courtyard.
“Qian Rong, Tianjiao, step back,” Su Qian said with a cold expression as she felt the ferocious aura coming at her.
Su Qian’s words caused the two of them to tremble slightly. Then, they quickly retreated without hesitation and returned to Su Qian’s side.
Meanwhile, two hidden guards, one in black and one in white appeared at the same time. They were obviously drawn by the signal flare.
“Su Qian, just because I can’t defeat you doesn’t mean that my hidden guards can’t!” Qu Xiaodie’s lips curled into an extremely evil smile. She raised her hand and ordered, “All of you, attack! Kill the four of them and avenge my little brother!”
When the black and white hidden guards heard this, their figures shot out like a swan and headed straight for Su Qian.
Yan Chen swiftly drew his longsword from his waist. With a flick of his wrist, the longsword emitted a humming sound in the air.
The long sword that emitted a cold light pierced through the s.p.a.ce between the two hidden guards. Yan Chen’s figure followed the longsword and blocked between the two hidden guards. The spiritual power in the longsword’s hand danced rapidly as he engaged in a fierce battle.
These two hidden guards were both mid-level fifth-rank experts, and their combined a.s.sault was formidable and unstoppable.
Yan Chen quickly shuttled through the encirclement of the two hidden guards. His movements were fast and unstoppable. In a one-on-two situation, he showed no sign of weakness and was evenly matched.
However, when she saw this scene, a strong dissatisfaction appeared in Su Qian’s eyes.
Qu Xiaodie had audaciously dared to outnumber them in front of her, bullying members of their Xuanyun Sect!
Su Qian raised her hand and slammed it heavily on the armrest of the chair under her. Her figure soared into the air like a dazzling phantom. With a swift whoosh, two scarlet silk ribbons from her sleeves broke through the air and struck the two hidden guards’ chests with force.
How could they be Su Qian’s match? The two hidden guards were sent flying. Their bodies stiffened as they opened their mouths and spat out two mouthfuls of blood.
“Miss Su!” Yan Chen didn’t find it difficult to compete with the hidden guards, but Su Qian’s proactive protection made Yan Chen couldn’t help but feel pleased.
Qu Xiaodie looked at her hidden guards being sent flying and let out a sharp scream, “What are you two idiots doing? Hurry up and charge up, then kill them all and avenge me!”
When the two hidden guards heard this, they had no choice but to struggle to stand up. Just as they were about to make a move, a young man strode forward and stood firmly outside the door. He shouted angrily, “Stop it!”
The terrifying aura instantly suppressed the entire place, scaring Qu Xiaodie so much that her body trembled. She looked at the man in disbelief, “Senior Brother…”
Su Qian stood calmly on the spot, her gaze coldly fixed on the handsome man, dressed in a light green robe.
The man before her resembled a young bamboo shoot in a bamboo grove, exuding an unruly aura. His posture was upright, and his gaze was arrogant. His handsome appearance made the maids present blush instantly.
“Who is he?” Su Qian lowered her voice and asked Yan Chen.
“His name is Qing Zhu, a disciple of Tianji Sect. His strength is on par with Yun Zong, and he usually avoids conflicts, so he lets Yun Zong steal the limelight earlier. No wonder you don’t recognize him, Miss Su,” Yan Chen explained..
