Lin Ye sneered inwardly, coughing up large amounts of blood mixed with fragments of flesh and blood. It seemed as if the impact had ruptured his lungs, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe.
Even if Lin Ye manages to escape by chance at this point, it would still mean abandoning Erii, the girl he swore to protect.
"Lin Ye, hurry... hurry up and leave, don't worry about Erii anymore..."
Because of the sound of the clapper, Erii's own bloodline power was completely suppressed. In this extremely weak state, the girl was able to speak.
The voice was very gentle, yet filled with sadness.
Lin Ye glanced at Erii amidst the cherry blossoms and smiled freely, "Erii, I, Lin Ye, promised you that I would be your knight and protect you. No matter what, I will always be there for you."
"No, no, Erii, please don't..."
Erii struggled to get up, crying, but due to the constant ravages of the dragon blood within her body, she was too weak to stand up.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a touching love story..."
With a sneer, the nobleman strolled over to Lin Ye, stepping through the cherry blossoms.
He slowly leaned down, staring closely at the boy's pale yet extremely resolute face, and uttered a chilling, mocking sound.
"Kid, do you think you can win everything just because you're brave? Even win against fate?"
Then you must be here to be funny!
If this were a novel, your courage would seem like a joke to many people because you are too weak. You are more lowly than a dog. What's the use of saying so many sweet words and doing so many romantic things? Who can you save? You can't even save yourself.
You need to understand, if this world were really a novel, it wouldn't be a romance novel, full of nonsense about love, because you can't even protect the girl you love. It's actually a story of intense battles, kid. You need to tough it out. You need to use this knife in your hand to chop my neck off. That'll give you the thrill, right?
But you treated it like a romance novel. Your weak male lead doesn't have the strength to cut my neck, so you can't create any satisfying moments. This novel is doomed to fail, hahaha, isn't that right, kid? I'm standing right in front of you now, what can you do to me? Go ahead and argue with me if you dare! Or I'll give you a little something to taste, and maybe wake you up while I'm at it."
The nobleman laughed smugly, looking every bit the smug little man. In the midst of his excitement, he couldn't wait to loosen his belt, preparing to take a good, satisfying bath.
"Then let's just cut your head off, you piece of shit!"
Lin Ye let out a cold, deep shout.
The reverse-blade sword in his hand was activated instantly, revealing the extremely rare second-stage activation of the Heavenly Soaring Dragon Flash.
This decisive strike was unprecedented; it was a final, desperate attack, abandoning everything else.
With a hiss, the sharp edge of the reverse-blade slashed directly at the neck of the nobleman, but it could only cut an inch into his neck before it could not go any further.
"Interesting. If you were strong enough, you could really cut off my head. Too bad, you're not strong enough. If this is all you have up your sleeve, then you might as well die."
The nobleman grabbed Lin Ye by the neck and lifted him up little by little.
The reverse-blade blade in Lin Ye's hand shattered, and he lost his last means of attack.
At this moment, Lin Ye finally understood that the knight could not save the princess; only the king's power could protect the girl he loved most!

……
Lin Ye was moved to tears.
As the system continued to reward him, his mind was filled with the beautiful moments he had shared with Erii, those scenes playing out like a slideshow.
A tremendous surge of emotion welled up in my heart like a raging tide.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, your points have reached three thousand. Sensing your impending death, we are now activating emergency protection and initiating a full points draw ceremony.]

……
"Fusion!"
Lin Ye shouted these words directly.
In an instant, dazzling lightning burst forth from his body, completely obscuring the grinning face of the nobleman.
Chapter 54 Screams! [Three chapters today, this is the first one]
Things have changed.
Dark clouds rolled and surged wildly, like a giant bowl overturned on the sky, the wind howled fiercely, and endless cherry blossoms were thrown up.
Not long ago, the night sky was adorned with stars, but in the blink of an eye, dark clouds gathered, muffled thunder rumbled from the depths of the clouds, and pale lightning flashed, as if a torrential downpour could fall at any moment.
Visitors to Chidorigafuchi couldn't help but feel disappointed, as the cherry blossom viewing feast had to be abruptly ended halfway through.
They had to leave while the rain hadn't started and the subway was still running. They knew that taxi fares in Japan were already high, and if they waited until the rain started to pour, they would definitely be ripped off, possibly losing half a month's salary.
So even though the tourists are very disappointed, they have no choice but to leave now.
Even more regrettable is the situation of the entire cast and crew of "Rurouni Kenshin". They were overjoyed to have found the perfect candidates for the male and female leads, but in the end, they completely lost track of them.
But they also knew that Lin Ye and Erii never intended to become celebrities, otherwise they wouldn't have rejected them so vehemently.
One can't help but admire that the two are truly a match made in heaven. They could have easily gained wealth and fame simply by becoming the male and female leads in this highly anticipated movie, but they don't care about the things that the world is so crazy about. What kind of mindset and moral cultivation does it take to do that!
"Waaah, my Kenshin is gone, my Yukishiro Tomoe and Kamiya Kaoru are gone too."
The director, with a full beard, couldn't help but burst into tears, crying with great sorrow.
"Director, let's not do this, there are too many people here," the assistant couldn't help but comfort him, even though he was also feeling very upset.
"You don't know anything!" the director cursed.
No one else dared to speak; they were equally dejected, but there was nothing they could do.
A torrential downpour was imminent, and with so much expensive filming equipment on site, they had to leave before the storm hit.
As for the brief encounter with perfect protagonists like Lin Ye and Erii at Chidorigafuchi, let's just consider it a perfect meeting.
……
Chidorigafuchi entrance.
While tourists fled as if fleeing, a group of people stood unmoved in front of this cherry blossom viewing spot.
The man in the long black trench coat lit a mellow Seven Star cigarette and looked through the white smoke at Chidorigafuchi where cherry blossoms were falling.
Because of the strong winds, the cherry blossoms fell wildly, making the snow exceptionally intense.
"Crow, do you think Erii will be angry if I bring her home now?"
Without turning his head, Yuan Zhisheng asked.
Upon hearing this, the crow beside him fawned, "How could that be? Boss is busy with many things, yet he still cares about his sister. Especially in this terrible weather, it's very likely that she won't even be able to get a taxi. Perhaps Miss Erii is worried about how to get home right now. If she sees Boss appear, she will definitely be very happy."
Genji didn't speak, but turned his head to look at Sakura.
The girl calmly said, "If the young master chooses to take that male escort home with him, Miss Erii will probably leave with a smile."
Crow's lips twitched. He thought to himself, "Sakura, you're really brave. You really know how to bring up the sore spot. The boss is still angry, especially about that gigolo named Lin Ye. Maybe if it weren't for that guy's instigation, Miss Erii wouldn't have run away from home, and she wouldn't have challenged the boss's bottom line time and time again."
It can be said that Lin Ye was the instigator of all this. The boss's anger towards this gigolo had long been at its limit, and the fact that he could suppress his ultimate move without using it was already incredible in his eyes.
As a result, Genjiro's next sentence directly broke the crow's defenses.
“Then let them all go home together,” the man said.
"Boss!"
The burly Yaksha strode out of Chidorigafuchi.
Previously, after discovering Lin Ye and Erii's whereabouts, Crow went to Genji Heavy Industries to inform them, while he was responsible for continuing to monitor Chidorigafuchi and reporting their location at any time.
Now that he has learned that Genjiro has arrived, he came to report immediately.
"Eri has been found?" Genji asked in a deep voice.
Yasha bowed tremblingly, "Boss, we haven't found Miss Erii or Lord Lin Ye yet, but..."
"but what?"
"But the brothers sensed a violent battle fluctuation in the cherry blossom forest just now. I have already sent them to check it out first before I came to report to you."
"fluctuation?"
Yuan Zhisheng frowned slightly.
But no sooner had he finished speaking than...
A violent energy surge suddenly erupted from the depths of Chidori Abyss, dazzling and eye-catching, like a ball of blazing white lightning bursting open.
All the elites from the Snake Clan present were deeply shaken.
This energy fluctuation was extremely abrupt and powerful. Even ordinary A-grade hybrids, sensing it from afar, couldn't help but get goosebumps all over their bodies.
"You are in charge of security here. Thousand Bird Abyss must not be allowed to fall into chaos. Also, notify the family and have them send people over!"
Yuan Zhisheng frowned deeply.
His senses were the most acute. The energy fluctuations erupting from the depths of Chidori Abyss were very strong, and these fluctuations were also mixed with some extremely evil and violent demonic aura.
I have a vague premonition that a terrible upheaval is about to occur in Chidorigafuchi.
After giving these instructions, Genjiro rushed into Chidori Abyss first.
……
Deep in the cherry blossom grove.
Blazing white lightning bolts continuously shot from Lin Ye's body, and he exuded an extremely violent aura.
