w.a.n.g Qianjin paused, then continued saying, "Of course, if you're afraid, you can take your words back any time. You won't be able to stop me anyway."

Yun Bixue turned around and looked at Xie Limo. She knelt and kissed him on his lips, and a tear trickled down from the corner of her eye as she whispered, "Limo, Hubby, give me strength. I'll take him down and make sure that he won't lay a finger on you." If this were, indeed, her last few moments in life, she thought that it would still be worthwhile if she could vie for some time for Xie Limo.

w.a.n.g Qianjin narrowed his bewitching eyes dangerously as he watched that scene unfold in front of him. It was, for him, an absolute eyesore.

Yun Bixue turned back to him with a cold glance and walked forward. With the two knives in her hands, she shouted, "Let's start!"

"Wonderful. You have courage and charisma," w.a.n.g Qianjin answered in admiration. Women with such a disposition were rare in n.o.ble families. No, the truth of the matter was that no other women like her existed in this world—Yun Bixue was the only one.

As soon as w.a.n.g Qianjin uttered the last word, the knives in Yun Bixue's hands whirled and spun towards him. Putting her life at stake, she mustered all her strength and never held back. She got rid of all the distractions in her head and focused solely on her mission to kill w.a.n.g Qianjin.

At first, w.a.n.g Qianjin didn't take her seriously—he was only having fun with his half-hearted attempts. However, after witnessing Yun Bixue's swift movements and deadly accuracy, he couldn't let his guard down anymore. Eventually, the two of them were locked into each other as they struggled to gain the upper hand, trading attacks and counterattacks.

Yun Bixue's movements were sharp and precise like a nimble leopard. Wielding the knives in both hands, her legs swung and kicked as she aggressively slashed forward. The sounds of their clashes accompanied the rain in this dense forest.

Regardless of speed or strength, they were evenly stacked up against each other.

Even though Yun Bixue had used up all her strength while searching for Xie Limo, she focused all the remaining energy in her body and fought with her life on the line.

Time pa.s.sed by slowly. A short distance from them, Xie s.h.i.+yi held her breath as she watched the fight with eyes wide open. For her, to say that she was shocked was truly an understatement. She never knew that her Young Madam was so skilled at handling knives.

Indeed, no one knew about that. Yun Bixue possessed excellent innate skills when it came to working with knives. In addition to that, she had received training since she was a child and had specialized in using this weapon. She had never expected that she would be using these skills to protect her husband today. She felt fortunate and grateful that she had undergone constant training in the past. Today, her training was finally put to good use.

The sounds of their footsteps reverberated throughout the forest. Yun Bixue flashed a blindingly radiant smile at w.a.n.g Qianjin. It was beautiful yet lethal, and it made w.a.n.g Qianjin blink momentarily. Yun Bixue took advantage of this by stabbing him.

However, w.a.n.g Qianjin managed to evade the attack effortlessly. He said in a mocking tone, "You are no match for me, Yun Bixue, but I have to hand it to you, you're pretty skilled."

"Oh, really? Young Master w.a.n.g, you're too careless…" As she spoke, Yun Bixue continuously stabbed at him. Her weapon was flexible, and with her back-to-back attacks, he couldn't defend himself at all.

With a resounding slash, w.a.n.g Qianjin's shoulder was cut, and he bled in an instant.

Yun Bixue wanted to use this opportunity to kill him. She aimed the knife at his heart, but he shoved her away before she could even do it. Yun Bixue staggered and fell on the ground. She didn't care about herself and simply looked at w.a.n.g Qianjin. She smiled and said, "Young Master w.a.n.g, I won."

w.a.n.g Qianjin heard voices from afar and knew that the Xie family's backup had arrived. After glancing at Yun Bixue, he immediately took off without a word.

Yun Bixue spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered towards Xie Limo. Wrapping her arms around him, she said excitedly, "Limo, we're safe. We're safe."

When Xie s.h.i.+yi had confirmed that the Xie family's men of sacrifice had arrived, Yun Bixue finally pa.s.sed out.

At this moment, Xie Limo regained his consciousness and embraced Yun Bixue. The look in his eyes was complicated, showing a mix of pain and worry. He sighed helplessly as he thought, "This woman!" She absolutely left him speechless.

Beside them, Xie s.h.i.+yi blurted out in surprise, "Young Master Xie?" Had Young Master Xie been alright all this time? What was going on?
