The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 339: Swords and Shadows Intertwined, War of Protection

The bandits came like a tide, and instantly surrounded Bai Zixuan, Lin Ruoxue, and Xiaoxuan in an open area in the mountain village. The wind whistled around them, blowing up the dust on the ground, as if playing a prelude to the fierce battle. The sunlight was blocked by the bandits' figures, and only a few rays of light were sprinkled in the gaps, making the battlefield light and dark, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Bai Zixuan turned around quickly, protecting Lin Ruoxue and Xiaoxuan behind him. His figure was like a solid fortress. The long sword in his hand flashed a cold light in the sun, like a silver dragon about to attack. His eyes were firm and sharp, staring at the approaching bandits, secretly calculating his countermeasures in his heart.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Bai Zixuan whispered to Lin Ruoxue and Xiaoxuan behind him. His voice was steady and powerful, with a reassuring force.

Lin Ruoxue nodded slightly, her eyes locked on Bai Zixuan, her heart full of worry. "Be careful." She responded softly, with a tremor in her voice. Xiaoxuan tightly grasped the corner of Lin Ruoxue's clothes, her little face pale with fear, her eyes filled with tears.

The battle broke out instantly. Bai Zixuan took the lead and rushed towards the bandits like a gust of wind. With a swing of his long sword, a flash of cold light passed by, and the weapon of a bandit was knocked away. The bandit looked at his empty hands in astonishment. Before he could react, Bai Zixuan raised his leg and kicked him to the ground. The kick was so powerful that the bandit flew several meters away like a rag bag, knocking down the two people who rushed up from behind.

"Hmph, come on!" Bai Zixuan roared, and his swordsmanship became more and more fierce. He turned his wrist, and the long sword danced like a dragon and a snake, sometimes stabbing at the throat of the bandits as fast as an eagle swooping down on a rabbit, and sometimes cleverly picking up their weapons like a monkey climbing a branch. Every time he swung the sword, there was a gust of wind, as if it was the howling of the god of death.

However, the bandits were numerous and powerful, and they rushed forward one after another. A bandit swung his knife from the left, and the blade made a whirring sound. Bai Zixuan dodged sideways, and the sharp blade almost scratched his clothes. At the same time, he swung his sword back, and it slashed across the bandit's arm like lightning, and blood gushed out instantly. But another bandit's spear stabbed from the right, and the sharp spear head flashed coldly in the sun. He hurriedly bent down to avoid it, and the spear brushed his hair. He could even feel the airflow generated by the tip of the spear cutting through the air.

"Bai Zixuan!" Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but scream out, her heart in her throat. Xiaoxuan was so scared that she closed her eyes and dared not look anymore.

Bai Zixuan knew that he couldn't fight for long and had to break out as soon as possible. While resisting the bandits' attacks, he was looking for a breakthrough.

"You villains, today is your death!" Bai Zixuan shouted loudly, trying to overwhelm the bandits with his momentum. His swordsmanship became more swift and fierce, and he poured all his strength into every strike. He jumped high, and his long sword drew a graceful arc in the air, like a silver lightning bolt striking the bandits below. The bandits looked up in fear and dodged, but one of them failed to dodge and was hit in the shoulder by the sword, falling down with a scream.

The bandits were intimidated by Bai Zixuan's momentum, but at the urging of the bandit leader, they mustered up the courage to continue the siege.

Bai Zixuan's forehead gradually oozes sweat, which slides down his cheeks and drips onto the ground. His physical strength is constantly depleting, but his eyes remain firm, and his belief in protecting Lin Ruoxue and Xiaoxuan supports him.

Lin Ruoxue was extremely anxious. She looked around, hoping to find a way to help Bai Zixuan. Suddenly, she saw a stone on the ground, and her heart moved. She quietly picked up the stone and threw it hard at an approaching bandit. The stone hit the bandit's back, and the bandit felt pain and turned to look at Lin Ruoxue.

Bai Zixuan took the opportunity to rush forward, thrusting his sword out like a rainbow piercing the sun, piercing the bandit's chest. Blood splashed on his face, but his eyes did not waver at all.

"Miss Lin, don't move!" Bai Zixuan shouted. He was worried that Lin Ruoxue would get hurt.

At this time, the battle entered a white-hot stage, and the two sides were deadlocked. Bai Zixuan knew that he had to break the deadlock as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. He took a deep breath, concentrated his energy, and prepared to face the next round of attacks from the bandits.

The bandits also reorganized their formation and surrounded Bai Zixuan and his men again. Their eyes were full of ferocity and greed, as if a group of hungry wolves saw their prey and were unwilling to let it go easily. The air was filled with tension, as if it would explode in the next second. The bloodstains, messy footprints and scattered weapons on the ground all witnessed this fierce battle.
