The door of the wooden cabin exploded with a deafening crash, splintered wood flying through the cold wind straight at Meng Hao's face. Several figures clad in black, their faces masked, surged into the room like demons crawling out of hell, exuding a chilling aura of death. Their eyes, visible through the black cloth, fixed on Li Yunyan like venomous snakes, their hoarse voices echoing in the air: "Li Yunyan, traitor of Youmingfu, surrender now!"
Li Yunyan trembled violently; her once alluring eyes were instantly replaced by a cold vigilance. She sprang into action, her graceful form cutting an enticing arc in the morning light. She stared at her attackers with the intensity of a coiled serpent, shedding any trace of the languor and fragility she had displayed the night before.
Meng Hao felt a chill run down his spine as the tender warmth of last night was shattered by this sudden turn of events. He gripped his Heavenly Axe tightly, positioning it defensively in front of Li Yunyan, his voice booming with the ruggedness and ferocity typical of a woodcutter: "Who are you?!"
The black-clad figures ignored him completely, disregarding him as an "obstruction," and charged directly at Li Yunyan. The leader brandished a gleaming short knife, its blade aimed straight at Li Yunyan's chest, his movements ruthless and decisive.
A glint of determination flashed in Li Yunyan's eyes; she understood Youmingfu's methods better than anyone—falling into their hands would be worse than death. In a swift motion, she evaded the short knife like a ghost and struck at the black-clad man's chest with a palm strike. The wind from her palm was fierce, infused with Youmingfu's unique cold energy.
Seeing this, Meng Hao's Heavenly Axe hummed to life, its bronze glow illuminating his arms. Without hesitation, he surged forward; the Heavenly Axe sliced through the air with a whistling sound as he aimed it at another black-clad figure attempting to flank him and attack Li Yunyan.
"Bang!"
The force of the Heavenly Axe was overwhelming; the black-clad man barely had time to react and could only raise his arm to block. He felt an immense power crash into him, sending him hurtling back against the wall with a heavy thud, groaning as he clearly suffered significant internal injuries.
"How dare you act so brazenly!" Meng Hao muttered under his breath, anger igniting within him. These guys were truly disappointing! He turned to look at Li Yunyan only to see her entangled with two other black-clad men. Though agile, she was clearly struggling due to her injuries.
"Damn it! What kind of hero picks on women?!" Meng Hao cursed angrily as he swung his Heavenly Axe once more. The bronze light grew even more dazzling; it seemed as if his arms were coated in a divine sheen, radiating power. He pivoted and swept the Heavenly Axe outward, forcing back the attackers surrounding Li Yunyan.
"Thank you, sir..." Li Yunyan's voice was hurried; a complex expression flickered in her eyes—gratitude mingled with a hint of curiosity. She hadn’t expected this seemingly simple woodcutter to unleash such formidable strength in an instant, rivaling even Youmingfu's elite assassins.
"What thanks? I can't stand bullies!" Meng Hao declared as he positioned himself protectively in front of Li Yunyan, his Heavenly Axe firmly planted on the ground, its blade emanating an intimidating cold light.
The assassins from Youmingfu clearly did not expect to encounter Meng Hao, a variable in their plans. The leader among the black-clad figures let out a cold snort, his voice grating like two rusty iron plates scraping together. "Unappreciative! Since you want to meddle, then you can die together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining black-clad assassins charged toward Meng Hao in unison. Their movements were coordinated, and the glint of blades fell like ink splatters, blocking all of Meng Hao's escape routes.
Meng Hao took a deep breath. He could feel a surge of power emanating from the Heavenly Axe, but at the same time, he sensed a hint of fatigue deep within his body. He knew that the energy absorption of the Qingtong Arm was not limitless.
"Come at me!" A flash of determination sparked in his eyes as the Heavenly Axe transformed into a bronze phantom, swirling like a whirlwind. The axe blade whistled through the air, precisely blocking each attack and sending sparks flying.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The clashing sounds of metal rang out incessantly. With the formidable defense of the Heavenly Axe and his own brute strength, Meng Hao forcefully repelled each incoming assassin. Each collision of the axe left the attackers' arms numb and their palms bleeding. They realized that this woodcutter's defense was simply unfathomable.
"This... this axe is not normal!" one assassin gasped in a low voice, glancing warily at the ancient Heavenly Axe in Meng Hao's hand.
Seeing Meng Hao surrounded and under attack, Li Yunyan felt a surge of anxiety. She knew that although Meng Hao had the upper hand for now, the assassins from Youmingfu were like maggots gnawing at bones; they would only multiply as the battle continued. Quickly, she pulled a rune from her bosom, her eyes flashing with determination.
"I'll help you!" Li Yunyan shouted, and the rune in her hand transformed into a beam of bluish light that shot toward one of the assassins. Caught off guard, that assassin suddenly froze in place, unable to move.
"Stasis Technique!" Meng Hao felt a surge of joy; he hadn’t expected Li Yunyan to have such a trick up her sleeve. Seizing the opportunity, he swung the Heavenly Axe fiercely, sending the immobilized assassin flying through the air, crashing into several wooden pillars and falling lifelessly.
However, it seemed that Youmingfu's assassins were endless. Outside, more shadows began to pour in; they swarmed like sharks sensing blood, surrounding the entire wooden house. The murderous aura in the air grew thicker and more suffocating.
"Damn it! Why are there so many?!" Meng Hao felt an unprecedented pressure weighing down on him. He knew that with just himself and Li Yunyan, they could not possibly withstand such overwhelming numbers.
Li Yunyan's face turned pale; her internal energy was nearly depleted, and she could no longer sustain the Stasis Technique. She bit her lip tightly, a flicker of pain flashing in her eyes.
Meng Hao glanced at the weakened Li Yunyan beside him, and a surge of intense protectiveness welled up within him. He suddenly pulled her behind him, and the Heavenly Axe erupted with a dazzling bronze light once more. This time, the radiance was even more solid than before, forming a tangible shield that firmly protected them both.
He understood that the shield ability of the Heavenly Axe had been pushed to its limits, but at the same time, a tearing pain surged through his body. This meant he was overexerting the power of the Heavenly Axe, even draining his own life force.
"I swear today, even if it costs me my life, I will not let you touch a single hair on her head!" Meng Hao roared, his eyes bloodshot. He knew this was just the beginning.
