The three men saw Gu Han Yuan’s arrogance, and although they were somewhat worried about hitting a wall, they thought it would be too damaging to their reputation if they ran after only one move.
They exchanged glances, then simultaneously lunged towards Gu Han Yuan from three different directions.
The three had cooperated for many years, and their coordination was evident at this moment.
Although they didn't attack at the same time, they arrived at the same time.
Yue Lao San, the strongest of the three, was in the front, wielding a pair of crocodile-jaw shears; Yun Zhong He, holding steel claws, was positioned at the side, ready to ambush; Ye Er Niang was half a step behind, her steel shears ready to exploit any openings made by the other two.
Even with Gu Han Yuan's experience, he had to admit that their cooperation was very subtle, and could even entangle a master-level expert in the early stages for a while.
Unfortunately, they were facing Gu Han Yuan, even though he had suppressed his cultivation to the early stage of innate.
The moment he drew his sword, it was as if the world went dark, leaving only a trace of purple light.
When the three men retreated, Ye Er Niang's steel shears had disappeared, nowhere to be seen.
A huge gap appeared on Yue Lao San's crocodile-jaw shears, almost severing one of the crocodile's jaws.
Yun Zhong He suffered the most, his steel claws were broken in half, his index and middle fingers fell to the ground, and blood was streaming from the severed fingers.
The three men never expected to hit a wall, let alone such a hard one, one that knocked them around and left them battered and bruised.
Even Gu Han Yuan was amazed by the sharpness of the magic sword and the strength of the “Holy Spirit Sword Art.”
He had used only “Sword One” to achieve this result.
“Sword One” was actually just a horizontal swing of the sword, nothing special, but it was incredibly fast, insanely fast.
The “Sword One” executed with the innate early-stage internal force left the three completely unprepared.
Yun Zhong He was the most terrified of the three.
It wasn't just the fear of his severed fingers, he had also verbally harassed Zhong Ling before, and now, he was being stared at by Gu Han Yuan's cold eyes.
He felt a chill run down his spine.
Ye Er Niang and Yue Lao San were no better. Although they had felt the internal force was not strong during the clash, the purple sword and the power of the sword art were too horrifying, and they felt that even their leader, Duan Yan Qing, would be no match.
"Go!"
Ye Er Niang was the first to make a decision, she shouted and then used her light kung fu to escape.
Yue Lao San followed closely behind.
Yun Zhong He, seizing the moment while Gu Han Yuan's attention was diverted, rushed to Mu Wan Qing's side, grabbed her and threw her at Gu Han Yuan.
Even with his light kung fu, he was afraid that if he didn't do this, he would be killed by Gu Han Yuan directly.
Yun Zhong He's light kung fu was indeed high, in the blink of an eye, he was just a silhouette in the distance.
However, before Yun Zhong He escaped, Gu Han Yuan had already placed a mental positioning, costing 500 villain points, on him, to control his movements.
Although he wanted to use Yun Zhong He as a tool, he had to be careful.
Especially after spending a lot of effort looking for Zhong Ling, he decided to place a mental positioning on everyone he cared about, to avoid losing them.
Zhong Ling and Mu Wan Qing had both been tagged.
Mu Wan Qing was still shocked by Gu Han Yuan’s incredible martial arts skills when she was thrown into the air by Yun Zhong He.
Before she could scream, she landed in a warm embrace.
Mu Wan Qing, still shaken, calmed down and realized that something soft on her body was being held.
She instinctively slapped him.
Gu Han Yuan didn’t indulge her, he grabbed her wrist as she slapped him.
Seeing Zhong Ling running towards them, he let go of Mu Wan Qing without hesitation.
Hmm, the feel was good.
She glared at Gu Han Yuan angrily.
She had been grateful to him for saving her, but he had taken advantage of her.
If she hadn’t used up all her sleeve darts, she would have shot him.
Especially since she considered herself Duan Yu's wife, she couldn't believe that she had been touched by another man, a mix of grief and anger surged through her.
Zhong Ling looked at Mu Wan Qing who was suddenly in low spirits, puzzled.
She hadn’t thought much of Mu Wan Qing trying to slap Gu Han Yuan.
She knew that Mu Wan Qing hated men the most, and she had already been good-tempered for only slapping him after being held by Gu Han Yuan.
She didn’t see anything else.
"Sister Mu, are you okay? Wu Tian Ge Ge was saving you, don’t be angry.”
Zhong Ling, as usual, clung to Mu Wan Qing's arm, acting cute, not wanting her beloved sister and her sweetheart to have a conflict over this.
Mu Wan Qing glared at Gu Han Yuan with some annoyance. Although he had saved her just now, the last move gave her the impression that he was up to something.
After struggling for a long time, she still didn't tell the truth. She wanted to be Duan Yu's wife, so she couldn't let her reputation be tarnished.
Moreover, she could tell from their expressions that Gu Han Yuan was clearly Zhong Ling's sweetheart, she didn’t want to ruin their relationship, so she just treated it as an accident.
Gu Han Yuan was somewhat surprised to see Mu Wan Qing calming down.
It seemed that Duan Yu's position in her heart was even higher than he imagined, she could even tolerate this?
A familiar smile curved the corner of his mouth under the mask.
This was going to be interesting.
Seeing that Mu Wan Qing was no longer angry, Zhong Ling introduced them to each other.
"Sister Mu, her name is Mu Wan Qing, she’s my best friend. Sister Mu, this is my Wu Tian Ge Ge.”
Mu Wan Qing was secretly annoyed that Zhong Ling had told her name to Gu Han Yuan, she was still a little angry.
"Water wood clear and bright, graceful and elegant. Truly a fitting name.”
Gu Han Yuan praised her.
Mu Wan Qing just snorted, she didn’t care about Gu Han Yuan's compliments, he wasn’t her Duan Lang.
Zhong Ling was a little jealous that Gu Han Yuan was complimenting Mu Wan Qing, she pouted and changed the subject.
"Sister Mu, we met Black Rose on our way here, she was badly injured. Wu Tian Ge Ge treated her, she'll be fine in a while."
Mu Wan Qing had been heartbroken for Black Rose, who had fallen off the cliff to save her and Duan Yu, thinking she was long dead, she was overjoyed to learn that she had been saved.
"Thank you."
This thank you was sincere, it was the first time she had spoken to Gu Han Yuan.
Indeed, her voice was clear and sweet.
But speaking of this, Mu Wan Qing suddenly remembered that Duan Yu hadn’t caught up with them and worried about his safety.
"Zhong Ling, did you see Duan Yu on your way here? We were going to save you, but the people from Shen Nong Gang had disappeared, and we were chased by the people from Wu Liang Sword Sect."
Zhong Ling quietly exchanged glances with Gu Han Yuan.
Although she didn’t know why, she knew that Gu Han Yuan’s original goal was to find Duan Yu.
When Mu Wan Qing mentioned Duan Yu, her expression was the same as when she was with him and Gu Han Yuan, clearly deeply in love.
Knowing Gu Han Yuan, she was worried that he would hurt Duan Yu in the end, and Mu Wan Qing would fight him to the death.
After struggling for a long time, she didn't know why but remembered that Gu Han Yuan had once said Mu Wan Qing was pretty.
A tiny seed was planted.
