Chapter 332: A Visual Feast

Lou Mu Yan was originally planning to bypass the city and set up a Teleportation Array closer to the border, but halfway through the journey, an indescribable palpitation lingered in her heart.

That kind of feeling was very special, not because she would be in danger herself, but it was brought upon by a close person, and the only person who had that sort of intuitive feeling with her was Lou Mu Ting.

So she hurried towards the city, and when she approached, she heard the sound of the horn. That ominous feeling only grew worse.

When Bing Ji hovered over the city, she looked down and saw that the entire city was shrouded in grief and anger.

Outside the city, two men in white armour were not only besieged by three Sword Monarchs in black, but the leader also used a combined Sword Skill.

That Sword Skill was something that even an ordinary Initial-Phase Sword Sovereign would definitely be left injured by when encountered, not to mention that the targets were only two severely injured Middle-Phase Sword Monarchs.

And when Lou Mu Yan’s gaze landed on that resolute face that appeared similar to hers, her heart trembled violently.

Seeing that the men in black launched their strongest blow, the black sword aura landing above Lou Mu Ting’s head, her eyes turned scarlet, and she roared angrily.

Immediately, a huge golden sword light fell at the speed of thunder, passing through the clouds, instantly annihilating the black sword light.

Lou Mu Ting and Lou Mu Xi felt that the killing intent suddenly disappear when the sword was about to reach their foreheads. When they opened their eyes, they saw the golden sword light annihilating the black sword shadow.

Then, countless orange fire lotuses floated out from the beyond clouds. They splashed and dyed the entire blue sky an orange-red, dazzling, and colourful.

At this time, whether it was the soldiers of Yan’zhou Kingdom standing on the city wall, or the enemy troops of Po’luo Kingdom, they all looked up and stared at the falling fire lotuses.

“Be careful!” The leading, pupils of the black-clothed Sword Monarch who was besieging the two constricted and a shadow of death quickly enveloped him. He only shouted those words before he was enveloped in blossoming orange lotus flowers.

“AHH!!” Three shrill screams sounded in the air.

Everyone’s scalp was numb and when they looked up, they saw that wherever the gorgeous, extravagant lotuses passed, except for Lou Mu Ting and Lou Mu Xi, everything turned to ashes, paying homage to the blossoming of the lotuses.

Lou Mu Yan stood on Bing Ji, waved her sleeves, and a soft wind roared out.

The wind blew through the lotuses, and after a few whirls, the petals detached from the stamen, swaying as they fell down in the direction of Po’luo Kingdom. The floral rain-like landscape formed a beautiful scenery.

“Wh-What’s this?” The soldiers of Po’luo Kingdom looked at the colourful falling fire lotus petals in a stunned manner and were buried in the rain of flowers before they could even be shocked.

The Left King Luo and the three men in black at Peak-Phase Sword Monarch reacted quickly, wielding their defensive Magic Tools to quickly avoid the petals.

However, they were all still affected, and also shrieked, but they didn’t die and were only burned by the petals.

“Who! Just who is it!” The Left King Luo took out his longsword with a ferocious expression and quickly chopped off his left arm, which had been stained with petals and shouted piercingly: “If you dare sneak attack, you dare appear! Who is it!”

“Humph!”

With a cold huff, a huge, cyan-blue ice bird flew down from the clouds and a peerless and elegant, purple-clothed woman stood atop of him.

“That’s an Ice Luan.” A Sword Monarch beside Left King Luo also cut off one of his arms, looking at the sudden appearance of the one person, one bird with a grim expression.

The Left King Luo was shocked, and his tone sounded as if he was grinding his teeth: “That’s Lou Mu Yan!”

Lou Mu Ting, who was standing mid-air, looked at the light-purple figure with a consonant heart. The anger and distress in her eyes were evident and he hooked the corners of his lips up, his voice warm: “Little Sister!”

Lou Mu Yan jumped off Bing Ji and landed beside the two of them. She supported the wobbling two and brought them back to the city wall.

“Big Brother!” Lou Mu Yan quickly checked Lou Mu Ting’s body and was relieved to find that there was no life-threatening injury except for excessive bleeding and some internal injuries.

Him appearing to be covered in blood made her almost suffocate, and her concern caused her to feel slightly chaotic.

“Little Sister, I’m fine!” Lou Mu Ting hadn’t seen Lou Mu Yan for a long time, and regardless of the blood on his body, he reached out to hug her, “Little Sister’s thinner!”

Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him angrily, “You almost died, do you know? Why didn’t you know to escape?”

She believed that it was still possible to escape from the three Sword Monarchs with her elder brother’s abilities. He still had the Teleportation Talisman she gave him.

“Well isn’t it that Little Sister came down like a deity to save your Elder Brother?” Lou Mu Ting’s resolute face was filled with soft colours, then it was replaced by a touch of firmness, “I was sent by Grandfather to guard this city, so naturally I live and die with the city, the soldiers, and the citizens. I’ve already put my life and death aside, so how can I escape?”

Lou Mu Yan sighed and didn’t know what to say.

She was actually cold by nature and only paid attention to the people she cared about. Now that she heard his passionate remarks, she couldn’t help but be moved.

“Are you Mu Yan?” The young man standing beside the two suddenly spat out a few words uncertainly.

Earlier, Lou Mu Yan was too worried about Lou Mu Ting, so she temporarily ignored this paternal elder cousin brother.

With a dignified appearance, there was a soldier’s perseverance in his bones, which quickly overlapped with a person in her mind.

“Big Brother Mu Xi!” She still attached great importance to these relatives who once took care of her.

“You’re actually really Mu Yan.” Lou Mu Xi put away the surprise in his eyes, reached out and patted Lou Mu Yan’s head like he did when he was younger, “Not only is the little girl more and more beautiful, but your strength has also opened our eyes!”

If Lou Mu Yan of the past saw today’s scene, she may not have had stage fight, but it was absolutely impossible to have the current momentum.

Now she was alluring and stunning, and her whole person glowed with a self-confidence and flamboyant temperament, exceptionally dazzling.

“It’s Young Miss! It’s Young Miss!” A vice-general of a brigade on the city wall suddenly shouted excitedly.

They were all the Lou Clan’s soldiers, and had always felt contradicting emotions towards the Young Miss who turned from trash into a genius. After all, Lou Mu Yan had often lost the face of Old General and General.

But ever since she participated in the Tian’ling Continental Tournament for Hegemony, not only did she wash away the name of ‘trash’, but she also won the championship, making them proud.

Just now, when they watched their two young Generals about to be beheaded by the enemy army, they were helpless and felt desolate and desperate. They waited for death to accompany the two young Generals, dying to protect the city.

Yet who knew that their Young Miss would arrive like a Deity of War, instantly blocking the momentous black sword aura and killing three Peak-Phase Sword Monarchs.

Especially after the visual feast just now of the falling fire lotuses that wiped out most of the enemy Sword Masters who were approaching the city—their admiration for her was exceptionally high.

“Mighty Young Miss! Mighty Young Miss!” Someone took the lead and the soldiers and citizens who had just survived with their lives shouted frantically.

Lou Mu Yan’s heart was slightly touched. She turned her head and glanced at those eyes of adoration and passion, and trembled again.

She came to the battlefield to support only because of her family, and didn’t think about other things. But now that she looked at Yan’zhou’s soldiers and citizens, and their warm eyes and shouts, her deserted heart couldn’t help but be cast with some ripples.

Then she turned her head and looked at the enemy generals not far away. The killing intent in her eyes were strong. These invaders burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil, and now they dared to touch her elder brother’s head—truly courting death!

“I’m going to clean up those flies first and then we’ll catch up.”
