The Life - and - Death Battle on the Way to the Snow Mountain

The men in black,with sharp blades in their hands and fierce expressions in their eyes, charged towards Lin Yue and the others without hesitation. Li Yi brandished his sword, his figure agile. Each strike of his sword carried a sharp momentum, driving back the approaching 黑衣人. As he fought, he shouted loudly,

"Miss Lin, hide behind me. Don't come out!"

Lin Yue tightly held the horsewhip in her hand. She was both nervous and worried about Li Yi's safety. She watched Li Yi bravely fighting on the battlefield, his back soaked with sweat, and her heart was filled with distress.

The guards also did not show weakness. They formed a defensive formation, protecting Lin Yue in the middle. However, the men in black were numerous and each of them was highly skilled in martial arts. Gradually, the guards began to struggle to hold them off. A men in black took advantage of the chaos to break through the guards' defense line and charged towards Lin Yue. Lin Yue's eyes widened in horror. She instinctively stepped back and accidentally fell to the ground.

Just as the men in black was about to stab Lin Yue, Li Yi was quick - eyed and quick - handed. He leaped into the air and blocked the black - clothed man's attack with his sword. The men in black flew into a rage and attacked Li Yi even more frantically. Li Yi was injured in several places, but he still resisted tenaciously, his eyes firmly fixed on protecting Lin Yue.

Lin Yue watched Li Yi get injured while protecting her. Her heart was filled with guilt and anger. She struggled to stand up and picked up a branch on the ground as a weapon. She knew she couldn't just hide behind Li Yi. She had to share some of the pressure for Li Yi. She waved the branch, trying to disrupt the black - clothed man's attacks.

The battle reached a fever pitch. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. Lin Yue suddenly realized that these men in black seemed to be well - prepared. Their main targets were Li Yi and herself, and they also seemed to know something about the prince's mansion. She couldn't help but suspect in her heart: Could there be a traitor in the prince's mansion?

Just then, a men in black took Li Yi by surprise and attacked him from behind. Lin Yue screamed in horror,

"Your Highness, be careful!"

She rushed forward without hesitation and used her body to block the men in black. Li Yi turned around and saw Lin Yue injured. His heart was filled with grief. He let out a furious roar, bursting out with powerful strength, and repelled all the surrounding men in black.

Lin Yue fell into Li Yi's arms, and her clothes were stained with blood. Li Yi held her tightly, his voice trembling,

"Miss Lin, how are you? Hold on, I'll save you right away!"

Lin Yue opened her eyes weakly, looked at Li Yi, and smiled slightly,

"Your Highness, I'm fine... Don't worry..."

Li Yi looked at Lin Yue's pale face and was filled with self - blame,

"It's all my fault. I didn't protect you well."

Under Li Yi's desperate resistance, the men in black were finally repelled. But Lin Yue's injury was serious, and her wound was bleeding continuously. Li Yi was extremely anxious. He immediately took out the herbs prepared by Lin Yue and bandaged her wound. His hands were slightly shaking, and his eyes were full of worry and fear. Lin Yue looked at Li Yi's appearance and was deeply touched. She gently held Li Yi's hand and said,

"Your Highness, I'll be fine... We still have to go together to find the Millennium Snow Ginseng..."

Li Yi nodded slightly. He held back his tears and said,

"Miss Lin, you must get better. We will definitely find the Millennium Snow Ginseng."

After a simple bandaging, Li Yi decided to first find a safe place for Lin Yue to recover. He and the remaining guards carefully carried Lin Yue to a cave, lit a bonfire, and warmed Lin Yue. Lin Yue lay on the simple grass mat, her face pale and her forehead covered with sweat. Li Yi stayed by her side, not daring to leave for a moment. He gently stroked Lin Yue's forehead, silently praying in his heart that Lin Yue would get better soon.

However, what they didn't know was that this battle was just the beginning. There were more dangers waiting for them ahead. And that traitor was still hidden in the dark, waiting for the next opportunity.
