Duchess Chen's Mansion, Moon Shadow Residence

Inside the quiet Moon Shadow Residence, only Xiao Yi's long and subtle breathing could be heard.

The soft, yellow light of dawn gently spilled onto the bed, illuminating the almost transparent face of the sleeping girl.

Suddenly, Xiao Yi's body on the bed trembled very slightly, and then her right hand fingers, which were outside the quilt, began to move.

Tao Ruyin, who had been waiting by the bedside, immediately noticed this subtle change. Her eyes widened instantly, and she held her breath.

Those slender, white fingers first curled their knuckles almost imperceptibly, as if gathering strength, and then—

"Lord Su, look!" Tao Ruyin, her voice trembling with barely suppressed excitement, turned almost immediately to Su Ningxia. "Miss has moved again!"

Su Ningxia rushed to the bedside in one stride, her eyes fixed intently on Xiaoyi's hands.

Just then, the fingers of that hand moved clearly again: the thumb and middle finger slowly but with unusual clarity bent and curled inward, while the other three fingers stretched straight at the same time—it was that impressive yet incomprehensible orchid finger gesture!
"Orchid fingers!" Su Ningxia blurted out, "Quick! Go and inform the mistress! I'll stay here and watch over the young lady!"

"Yes!" Tao Ruyin immediately turned around, lifted her skirt, and rushed out of the room as fast as she could, her footsteps fading away hurriedly in the deep corridor.

Su Ningxia then focused all her attention back on the hand that maintained the orchid-like finger gesture, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

This time, her movements were noticeably clearer and more stable than when she and Gao Cuilan had caught a glimpse of them last time, as if conveying a kind of silent persistence.

Time passed by second by second amidst tension and anticipation.

Just a few minutes later, footsteps approached from outside the door.

Ye Xiuxin rushed in almost as fast as the wind, her gaze immediately fixed on the bed—that unique and clear orchid finger gesture was still in place, not yet released!

……

This square-shaped ancient castle belonging to the Bone-Digging Clan is extremely large in scale.

With a width of over two kilometers and a length of nearly eight or nine kilometers, the colossal body of the stone wall sits on the high plateau, its thick stone walls resembling the spine of a crouching beast, exuding an aura of savagery and unease.

Only with such a large size could it accommodate more than three thousand fierce members of the Bone-Digging Gang, as well as their dependent family members, women, children, servants, and laborers, and even the captives and people they sold or enslaved.

The interior of the castle is like a chaotic and sinful miniature city, complete with streets, houses, squares, and dungeons.

At this moment, the fierce fighting is mainly concentrated in the central area extending forward from the castle gate, along a wide battle line nearly a kilometer long—the central avenue and its surroundings.

This avenue plaza has now become a battleground, with three pairs of Soul Douluos, Qin Luguang, and the Soul Saint team all crammed here.

The air was filled with spiritual energy, so everyone avoided the area.

Standing atop the high platform overlooking the battlefield (as in the chapter of dust), one sees nothing but devastation.

The central avenue was originally connected to two or four narrower streets on each side, which extended into the depths of the castle like branches from the main road.

However, under the frenzied bombardment of soul skills and the trampling and collision of the desperados, the shops, houses, and fortifications of the Bone Digging Gang along the way have now been reduced to ruins. Piles of broken walls and rubble are everywhere, and smoke and dust fill the air.

The battlefield where Chen Xiaojun and his companions were located was the first street on the right, a vast battlefield that included the main passageway and the ruins of collapsed houses on both sides, with a width of nearly 100 meters.

This hundred-meter-wide strip of ruins is now their lifeline, a battle they must fight for every inch of.

However, as Chen Xiaojun's strange steps continued forward, the pressure on the young men and women protecting him increased dramatically.

They were like a slowly moving wedge, sinking deeper and deeper into the core area occupied by the enemy.

From all directions, the desperate members of the Bone-Digging Gang roared and howled, desperately trying to tear apart this small defensive circle and devour Chen Xiaojun, who exuded a deadly attraction in the center.

The 100-meter width now seemed so cramped and fraught with danger in the face of the surging enemy tide.

The battle spirit masters from the Chen and Yang families wanted to provide support, but they were firmly blocked by the Bone-Digging Team led by four Soul Saints.

Meanwhile, the Ximen family's sword-wielding soul masters on the right flank had begun to rotate to the left, but two Soul Saints from the Bone-Digging Gang, along with more than a dozen Soul Emperors, continuously detonated flammable materials on the second street, creating a huge sea of ​​fire and hindering their advance.

Although the Ximen family members were not particularly afraid of fire, they were still unable to break through such a large fire in a short time.

…………

Therefore, the one under the greatest pressure in the defense zone where there is no immediate rescue is undoubtedly Chen Mu, who is moving through the entire area. As the fastest person of the new generation, he is now pushing his movement skills to the limit.

A Soul Master from the Bone-Digging Sect suddenly leaped out from the blind spot at the edge of the swamp, his poisoned dagger aimed straight at Chen Xiaojun's back!

"You're courting death!" Chen Mu's cold voice rang in his ears.

"Second Soul Skill: Sword Falls on the Lone Goose!"

The sword light flashed like a startled swan, its speed reaching its limit. The Soul Master felt a chill in his throat, all his movements froze, his head was already flying into the sky, and his headless corpse continued to rush forward for several steps before falling down.

The three Soul Masters of the Bone-Digging Team coordinated perfectly. Some leaped down from the roof, some ran at top speed, and some launched a surprise attack from behind, attacking from three directions at the same time. The flashing blades blocked any possible angles from which Chen Mu could come to his rescue.

"Third Soul Skill - Nine Plum Blossoms!"

Chen Mu's longsword trembled slightly, and in an instant, nine sharp sword flowers, like plum blossoms in winter, bloomed out of thin air, precisely meeting the vital points of the three people's attacks.

Puff puff!
The sound of sharp blades piercing flesh rang out, and blood blossomed instantly on the three men's bodies. Their attack collapsed, and they fell to their deaths with screams.

"Sword Wings Flying," "Star Stream Thunder Strike," and "Lightning Flash" made him as fast as a phantom, with wings formed by sword light trailing behind him. His figure flickered uncertainly between the edge of the mud, the embers of flames, and the gaps in the barrier of light and shadow.

Sometimes he would sweep across the top of Yuanrun's stone wall, slicing off the climber's fingers with a single sword strike; sometimes he would appear at the edge of Chen Shurui's light and dark shield, blocking a tricky cold arrow for him; he would even leave afterimages in the air, swirling up the Rising Dragon Sword Qi Scroll (Wind Type 5, rising into the sandstorm), helping Ma Liang to dodge the stray Iron-Winged Bats.

The lightness and speed of the Lone Peak Sword Technique and the swift cutting of the Breath of the Wind Technique are integrated into his body.

He is the busiest firefighter in the defense perimeter, the last and fastest line of defense to intercept any stragglers.

Every swing of the sword brings forth a dead soul!

Countless members of the Bone-Digging Gang have fallen beneath his sword.

This fifth young master of the Chen family is really going all out. Such a high-intensity, high-speed, and prolonged attack is almost draining his body.
