Chapter 188 Soothing Jiu Yao's Emotions
"I told you, you don't need to know these things." The man in black remained indifferent and unmoved, taking a step forward to catch up, his long sword unhesitatingly aimed at Feng Jiutian's heart.
Feng Jiutian's pupils narrowed slightly. She really couldn't dodge it. Her physical strength was greatly depleted, and even breathing was difficult. What should she do about such a fatal blow?
As the longsword approached, a smug look appeared in the black-clad man's eyes. Suddenly, the door was kicked open: "Assassin!" a man shouted, leaping between the two men and shielding Feng Jiutian behind him.
The other two were both stunned. The man in black had a somewhat gloomy expression. No one would be happy to see the fat meat that was about to be in their hands slip away like this: "Who are you? If you have nothing to do, get out of the way and don't interfere with my business, otherwise, I don't mind killing one more person."
"If you have the ability, then come. With me here, it's impossible for Feng Jiutian to suffer any harm. This is a death pact my master made with me." The newcomer said firmly, reaching out to protect Feng Jiutian behind him.
"Hmph, then you can try. My orders are to take her life. You can try and see who can do it." The man in black said, drawing his sword and charging forward, giving him no chance to react.
Feng Jiutian clutched her chest and frowned. The people who came to protect her were the guards from before. She didn't know why they were here. She had many questions in her mind, but the situation was too urgent to ask them.
The guards were not afraid at all and stepped forward to fight the man in black.
The clash of weapons produced a piercing sound, and spiritual energy dissipated in mid-air, so dense that it was almost suffocating.
Feng Jiutian carefully stepped back and sat cross-legged on the ground to adjust her breathing. The fight had already injured her, and her chest was still aching. The wounds she had accidentally inflicted were still bleeding. If this continued, she would soon become weak, and if anything went wrong with the guards, she wouldn't be able to help at all.
The two fought fiercely, with blood splattering and filling almost the entire room. Finally, the guard seized an opening and struck the man in black on the neck with a palm strike imbued with spiritual power.
The man in black grunted, defeated. Seeing that he was about to be killed and had no chance to turn the tables, he slammed his hand on the ground with a cold snort. A cloud of black mist rose up, completely obscuring all the light. When visibility returned, he was gone.
The guard rushed to the window and looked down, but found nothing. Anyone who could be an assassin must have the ability to appear and disappear without a trace, so there was no way to chase after them.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and came to Feng Jiutian's side, bowing respectfully and saying, "I'm sorry I'm late, and I'm sorry you got hurt."
Hearing him say this, Feng Jiutian's doubts deepened. The two didn't have a deep relationship to begin with, but this person always appeared whenever she was in danger.
"Who exactly are you? Why have you been by my side all this time?" Feng Jiutian stood up and asked cautiously.
"I am here on orders to protect you." The guard's attitude was extremely respectful.
Feng Jiutian pondered for a long time, still unable to figure out who would give such an order, and who could even send such a powerful guard to protect her. She couldn't help but feel even more puzzled: "Who exactly is your master? If you can't explain it clearly, I don't need you to protect me."
Having always been alone, Feng Jiutian found it very difficult to be around someone like this.
The guard was silent for a moment before speaking: "My master is Mo Shaoxie, and he sent me to protect you."
"Mo Shaoxie?" Feng Jiutian pondered the name for a moment, then finally recognized him: "Why did he send you to protect me?"
It's no wonder Feng Jiutian was puzzled. She and Mo Shaoxie didn't have any relationship to begin with, so why would that person send such a capable person to protect her?
Something unusual must be a sign of evil, and Feng Jiutian never let her guard down.
The guard was in a dilemma. He had been told before that his true identity must not be revealed. If he revealed it now, what kind of family punishment would he face when he returned?
"I cannot reveal the master's true identity, but when the time comes, I will let you know." After saying this, the guard turned around, jumped out of the window, and left. He didn't know if he could withstand the interrogation if he stayed any longer.
Feng Jiutian opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't try to stop him. The name Mo Shaoxie lingered in her mind, and she silently remembered this favor. No matter what, even if she wasn't familiar with him, she couldn't forget the life-saving grace.
The room fell silent again, leaving only Feng Jiutian. She finally let down her guard, her face turning pale instantly. She waved her hand to set up a barrier around herself to ensure her safety, then closed her eyes to regulate her breathing and quickly recover from her injuries.
Her injury was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. The attack from the man in black was far too fierce, invading her body and disrupting her own spiritual energy. If she did not recover quickly, her strength would be permanently damaged.
Just then, a huge roar echoed in his mind. Feng Jiutian had just entered a meditative state when the roar jolted him awake.
Upon closer inspection, the ethereal space was in turmoil, and the roar that reached the mind was none other than the Nine Luminaries.
Feng Jiutian quickly calmed down and communicated with Jiuyao with his divine sense.
"Where is the old man? Where is he? Why are you the only one here? Are you lying to me?" Jiu Yao's voice grew louder and louder, making Feng Jiu Tian's head ache terribly.
"He'll be back soon, don't be too anxious, being anxious won't help at all," Feng Jiutian advised boldly, trying to soothe Jiuyao's emotions.
"Heh heh, what a fraud! You think you can have the power of a magical beast? Humans are all hypocrites!" Jiuyao roared, his aura rising rapidly until it became almost invincible.
Upon seeing this, Feng Jiutian was greatly alarmed. If Jiuyao were to cause a ruckus in the Void Spirit Space, he might be able to destroy the entire Void Spirit Space.
With a helpless sigh, she focused her mind on her sea of consciousness. No matter what Jiu Yao wanted to do, she was determined to stop his destructive actions!
Nothing was different in the illusory space except that Jiu Yao was squatting in the same spot.
Jiuyao raised his head, staring at Feng Jiutian with bloodshot eyes, looking terrifying.
Why am I here?!
Jiuyao roared, as if to say, "If you don't tell the truth, I will slaughter you."
