Chapter 760 (All Depends on Acting)
However, at the same time as the attack, all of Mu Ran's retreat paths were sealed off by the eight Masters!
Mu Ran could forcibly dodge this strike, but how could she avoid the other eight strikes?
These ten individuals, with the premise of sacrificing one Master, set up an inescapable net tonight!
It meant the fall of a young Heavenly Dao Warrior!
And her Heavenly Dao battle soul would become a tool for someone else's advancement!
At this moment, Mu Ran also felt the bone-chilling coldness; she had fallen into their trap!
Her earlier outburst of battle energy was a mistake! Now she found herself in such a passive situation!
What should she do!
She could only resist with all her might! There was no other option!
Just as Mu Ran was about to fight to the death, a huge figure appeared before her, blocking the moonlight.
Mu Ran raised her head slightly to look at the dark figure.
It was Cang Konghong wearing an iron mask!!!
This picturesque scene suddenly unfolded, and Mu Ran's eyes showed a hint of confusion as she gazed at Cang Konghong. Cang Konghong's massive figure stood like a mountain, sheltering Mu Ran, resembling the sturdiest shield. In the sky, the nine Masters wielded their knives and slashed towards Mu Ran, their silver blades filled with terrifying battle energy.
Sitting in the carriage, Tang Wei witnessed this scene. She had hesitated before, but seeing Cang Konghong appear, she felt relieved. She had been worried they might not cross paths, but now it seemed like a destined encounter – a hero rescuing a beauty.
Cang Konghong's mood was complicated. If he could, he would crush them with a flick of his finger! However, Wei Chang had said that he was currently a warrior, and killing them with a finger would expose his true power, which went against Ye Hua's plan. He had no choice but to...
Cang Konghong had no choice but to pull the dazed Mu Ran closer, covering her under his massive chest.
Boom!
The nine blades landed on Cang Konghong's back. In order to achieve the effect of a "warrior," Cang Konghong's own defences were lowered to the minimum, or else he feared they wouldn't even be able to cut his skin!
The scene immediately erupted with surging battle energy, spreading outward!
Even the petite Mu Ran could feel the powerful impact and could even hear the sound of flesh being cut.
Mu Ran knew it was not the time to be moved. She immediately distanced herself from Cang Konghong and swung her blue longsword, releasing a frenzy of battle energy!
Two dumbfounded Masters were instantly defeated. Why were they dumbfounded?
Because just a moment ago, they witnessed an incredible scene!
When their blades struck the man's back, sparks appeared. Although it lasted only an instant, it was still shocking.
What was this man's skin made of? Under the full force attack of a Master, sparks were produced. Although they eventually cut through his skin, those sparks were definitely not a mirage.
"Retreat!" The leading Master immediately gave the order without hesitation. His instinct as a Master told him that this man was terrifying, and the assassination tonight couldn't proceed any further!
The remaining seven Masters vanished into the dark night.
Cang Konghong also breathed a sigh of relief. According to the extent of his injury, he shouldn't be able to stand, so...
Cang Konghong 'fell.'
Tang Wei also breathed a sigh of relief. If those people hadn't left, it would have been troublesome. She estimated that she would have had to ask Uncle Wei to seek help from those kind-hearted black-clad individuals.
Footsteps approached from afar, and the defensive troops finally arrived.
"We beg for forgiveness, Saintess!" The leader trembled and shouted.
Mu Ran furrowed her eyebrows and raised her hand. She unexpectedly carried Cang Konghong's massive body, with his blood-soaked back looking horrifying.
After placing the "unconscious" Cang Konghong on the horse, Mu Ran took the reins herself and hurriedly headed home.
"Ran'er, are you alright?" Mu Anguo's voice came from inside the carriage.
"I'm fine," Mu Ran replied in a low voice, looking at the "unconscious" Cang Konghong beside her.
"That's good," Mu Anguo sighed in relief. As long as his daughter was fine, he didn't really care much about someone like Cang Konghong, the stable boy. If he were really dead, they would provide some burial fee.
But for Mu Ran, Cang Konghong was her saviour. If it wasn't for him stopping them earlier, she probably wouldn't be sitting here talking now.
Upon arriving at Mu Manor, Mu Ran jumped down from the carriage and ran inside with Cang Konghong's huge body in her arms, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.
Tang Wei followed closely behind, her face showing a smile. She hoped this would be a new beginning.
At this moment, the "pretending-to-be-unconscious" Cang Konghong was a little annoyed. This little girl was actually carrying him around... making him feel unnatural.
The task given by Your Honor was too difficult...
Mu Ran arrived at her own boudoir and placed Cang Konghong on her bed without any aversion.
"Tang Wei, quickly bring my medicine box!" Mu Ran hurriedly called.
Tang Wei cooperated but asked worriedly, "Miss, is my cousin alright?"
"I don't know," Mu Ran said, looking at the mangled back, feeling somewhat puzzled. Under the full strength of nine Masters, was it only this bad?
Tang Wei noticed Mu Ran's doubt and said, "Miss, my cousin has always had a strong body; he should be fine."
"Rest assured, I'll do my best." Mu Ran quickly applied the medicine and took out a delicate bottle with a pill inside, which was the life-saving pill her master had given her.
Mu Ran seemed to want to lift Cang Konghong's mask, but Tang Wei immediately called out, "Miss."
"I'll feed him the medicine." Mu Ran whispered and lifted Cang Konghong's iron mask.
Tang Wei saw Cang Konghong's clenched fists and feared he might punch Mu Ran's head.
And Tang Wei saw that Cang Konghonghong's fists were tightly clenched, fearing that he might punch Mu Ran's head and blow it off.
Indeed, Cang Konghong was thinking this way; this woman dared to lift his mask without permission! He wanted to choke her!
However, Mu Ran only looked a little surprised when she saw Cang Konghong's face, and then she fed him the pill.
Meanwhile, Tang Wei closely observed Mu Ran's expression and saw that she was only slightly surprised and then appeared calm, her gaze showing concern.
Relieved, it seemed that Mu Ran wasn't concerned about appearances.
Mu Ran immediately checked Cang Konghong's body and found his breath was steady. Was this medicine so effective? It only seemed like ordinary flesh and blood injuries.
There was no other way; Cang Konghong could only continue with the act. Did he have to be chopped into pieces?
"He should be fine now. Your cousin's body is really strong to withstand the attacks of nine Masters," Mu Ran said softly.
Why did Tang Wei feel like Mu Ran was doubting it? That wasn't a good sign.
"Cousin has always been like this since he was young. It's not an illness, right?" Tang Wei's acting skills were still on point. If Wei Chang were here to cooperate now, they might be exposed.
"No, it's probably an innate talent. If he joins a good sect, his future is limitless. Perhaps I can take him to the Supreme Spirit Sect," Mu Ran said with the intention of repaying the favour, considering that Cang Konghong had just saved her life.
