Chapter 1045: Is Brother Yu... an Idiot Now?

you'll find someone to spend your life with, someone worthy of your trust and devotion. "Zong Yulian wore a look of impatience and displeasure on her face. Before Mu could finish speaking, she interr...Zhao Yun was deeply moved, and he knew in his heart that he had not followed the wrong person.

Fang Jinxiu's arrival did indeed relieve Zhao Yun's pressure, and the weight on his shoulders lessened considerably. Tian Jian saw both of them appear, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty ferocity.

"Cut the crap, you only have one fate today: death!"

"Who knows who might die, what big words."

Zhuge Yun, energized like he'd been injected with chicken blood, repelled Tian Yi with a few moves. He quickly rushed to Fang Jinyu's side.

Sister-in-law, you're just standing here shooting arrows at random people, targeting whoever you don't like.

"But please don't shoot me."

The previous arrow left a deep shadow on Zhao Yun.

If he could safely get through tonight, he had to have a good talk with Brother Yu and give him some advice. He had to teach Sister-in-law how to shoot arrows.

"Don't worry, they are all wearing black, and only you are wearing white. There is no way I could shoot you."

Fang Jinshu patted Zhao Yun's arm, signaling him to be at ease and trust her.

Zhao Yun awkwardly scratched his head, at a loss for words.

"Alright, then."

As soon as they saw each other, the two started chatting, completely ignoring the fact that there was a scorpion right there. They were so angry their eyes were about to burst into flames.

All those who can still stand, get up!

The leader is dead, now the Scorpion listens to me. Whoever kills these two can be free tomorrow.

No assassin can resist the lure of freedom. They were driven to join the Scorpio initially out of desperation, with nowhere else to turn.

But after so many years, everyone is tired of this life of fighting and bloodshed. It's just that without the leader's permission, no one can leave.

No one dared to leave.

As expected, Tian Yi's words took effect. These assassins instantly went berserk, charging towards them like they were injected with steroids.

He didn't care about the blood flowing from his body, nor did he pay attention to the gaping wounds. All he could see was the lives of the two people in front of him.

Fang Jinshu saw the situation was unfavorable and braced herself for the worst.

Zhao Yun had already charged out when these people rushed over. Even though the two of them had divine weapons in their hands, they couldn't withstand the frenzied attack of so many people.

For a time, they were actually locked in a fierce battle, and even Fang Jinshu suffered some skin injuries.

Time ticked by, one by one the scorpion people fell.

As victory neared, Tian Yi's expression grew increasingly irritable and sullen.

This was the first time since the founding of Scorpio that they had encountered such a tough opponent, and it was also the mission with the highest casualties.

The leader is dead, and the Scorpion's forces are almost completely wiped out.

However, Fang Jinshi's situation wasn't much better. As the first glimmer of dawn appeared on the horizon, a faint smile flickered across her pale face, which was stained with streaks of blood.

Hurry up, hurry up.

Ah Yu is about to wake up soon.

Zhao Yun's white clothes had been stained crimson with blood, it was impossible to tell whose it was.

Both were on the verge of collapse, gritting their teeth to hold on.

To show fatigue in front of the enemy is like exposing your neck for them to chop off.

So even when their hands were so tired they could barely lift them, they didn't show the slightest sign of weakness.

Zhao Yun had never imagined that Fang Jinshi could last this long. Looking at the woman beside him, her hair damp with sweat, just like him, covered in blood.

She was no longer as sharp and elegant as she used to be. Her clothes were torn, her hair was disheveled, and she looked utterly dishevelled.

But Zhao Yun began to truly admire Fang Jinshu from the bottom of his heart.

He had never met a woman in his life who was as determined and resilient as she.

"Little, little Master Xiao Song, why hasn't he come yet."

Fang Jinshi was also worried. Zong Bai went to fetch reinforcements and there was no sign of him yet. Did he meet with an accident on the way Or was he ambushed by Yuan Buyu's men halfway...

"Zong Bai will come, he's definitely coming."

Tian Yi led the remaining few people up again. Fang Jinxiu could no longer raise her arm to shoot arrows, she supported the arm with the quiver of arrows with her other hand, the arrowhead aimed at the enemy.

Zhuge Yun's strength failed him, and he was beaten to his knees on one knee, supporting himself with his sword.

At first sight, he burst into laughter.

"They can't hold on! They can't hold on!"

“Kill me! Kill me!”

The equally exhausted and frustrated scorpions suddenly ignited, victory in sight.

Fang Jinshu looked at Zhao Yun, who was like a blood man, feeling both anxious and sad.

Could it be that they have really reached their breaking point

Zhao Yun's injuries were partly caused while protecting her, so Fang Jinxiu couldn't abandon Zhao Yun and hide in the space to survive.

And once she was out of the way, the next target for the scorpion would be Zongyu in the house.

Fang Jinshui didn't even have time to think. Before she could weigh her options, her body reacted instinctively.

She rushed towards Zhao Yun, using her body to shield him from a fatal blow.

And her chest was pierced by Ten-One's sword.

Sister-in-law!

Zhao Yun was shocked and desperately tried to stand up, but he couldn't.

Watching Fang Jinxiu collapse before him, Tian Yi let out a cold laugh.

Finally solved one.

He pointed his sword at Zhao Yun, who stood immovable like a pillar, and said, “Don’t be so anxious, it’ll be your turn next.”

As soon as Tian raised his sword, Zhao Yun closed his eyes in despair.

He failed to protect his sister-in-law, letting her take the sword for him. Even if she survived, what face would he have to meet Brother Yu with

The only way to atone is with death.

At first sight, he closed his eyes and meekly awaited death. With a sneer, he drew his sword and lunged toward his heart.

Zhao Yun prepared for death, but the expected pain didn't come. Instead, he only heard a clang.

He opened his eyes in surprise, only to see Tian's face turn even more sinister, as if he had seen a ghost.

"You're awake."

"What a pity, it didn't turn into a fool."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun hurriedly turned his head to look aside, and Zong Yu's tall figure stood beside him.

But his eyes never left the sister-in-law lying beside him.

Zhao Yun's face was filled with shame, his heart weighed down with guilt.

"I'm sorry, Brother Yu. I failed to protect your wife."

Zongyu's expression was unnervingly calm. His eyes, like black obsidian beads devoid of any emotion, radiated a chilling indifference.

Zhao Yun didn't notice at first, but then seeing him indifferent to his sister-in-law's corpse, he realized something was wrong.

Tien Jen Zong Yu woke up and finally felt a trace of fear.

There are only three people left in the Scorpio team, might as well add him too.

Before he died, the leader instructed him to deliver a message to the Grand Duke. He must not die!

As the first day quietly receded, Zong Yu remained oblivious. He didn't notice until the other two individuals charged towards him, swords flashing dangerously.

He took action, swiftly resolving the situation with the two of them.

Zhao Yun was dumbfounded. Just now, Brother Yu's move had been so swift that he barely saw anything before the two men were on the ground dead.

He, his martial arts, how did they seem to improve by such a large margin overnight

Zong Yu stared at Fang Jinxiu lying on the ground, her eyes tightly closed and lifeless. He finally slowly crouched down.

"Is she asleep"

Hearing this, Zhao Yun's brows furrowed tightly, his heart skipping a beat.

Oh no, did the acupuncture technique fail Brother Yu, has he become an imbecile

Otherwise, how could you not even recognize your sister-in-lawds are not something ordinary people can compare to.He never took that fake face off. Over time, he even fooled himself, thinking Yuan Buyu's kind words were genuine expressions of fatherly affection...
