Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

! ! ! ! !

Hearing Yao Chen's words, Xiao Yan instantly became anxious and began to struggle violently. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single syllable.

Looking at the struggling Xiao Yan, Yao Chen's ruby-like red eyes revealed deep relief.

I didn't misjudge him this time.

For her, Yao Chen, this is enough.

Xiao Yan's significance to this world is far greater than his own. This is a fact that Yao Chen has already confirmed in his heart.

Being able to exchange her own life for Xiao Yan's life is undoubtedly the most valuable thing Yao Chen has ever done in her life.

"Roar~ Are you willing to sacrifice yourself to save this young man's life?" Yao Chen's proposal surprised Yun Ying a little, and she asked calmly, "Your life is much more valuable than his, right? Is it really worth it?"

In response to Yunying's question, Yao Chen answered without any hesitation.

"Compared with his, our lives are nothing."

"Hmph~~~"

Hearing Yao's calm and decisive answer, Yun Ying pondered for a moment and looked at Xiao Yan again.

Yao Chen, a powerful warrior who was at the peak of Dou Zun and held the title of the continent's number one alchemist, was willing to sacrifice his life for a small Dou Master.

This is really unheard of.

What is it about Xiao Yan that could make Yao Chen so willing to die for him?

"Very good, you have successfully brought my interest in this young man to a peak."

Yunying chuckled, raised her hand, and tapped Xiao Yan's forehead with her index finger.

"I have a new idea~"

Then, Xiao Yan felt his vision go dark and he instantly lost consciousness.

Chapter 120 Useless Guard

Yunying's movements were too fast. By the time Yao Chen reacted, Xiao Yan had already fallen to the ground.

"What did you do to him?!"

Yao Chen's beautiful face became extremely ferocious, and he roared for the first time since waking up. He instantly came to Xiao Yan's side, put his jade hand on his chest and checked it anxiously.

After a while, Yao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

His breathing was steady, his heartbeat was normal, and his internal organs had no damage; he had simply fainted.

"You really care about him." Yunying on the side gently pinched her chin and said slowly: "Don't worry, it's rare to find such an interesting boy. We don't want to destroy him so easily. We just erased our memories from his mind."

"Erase the memory?!"

Yao Chen's heart trembled and he stared at Yunying in disbelief.

Memories are deeply attached to the soul, how can they be erased just like that?

And from what Yunying said, it seems that it is only targeting her memory?

Do not!impossible!

No one that Yao Chen knows can do such a sophisticated job!

No, wait.

Yao Chen suddenly thought of something and his eyes gradually became gloomy.

Those guys might be able to do it.

Tampering with souls is exactly what those guys are good at!

Thinking of this, and recalling what Yunying had said before, Yao Chen looked at Yunying with deep shock in his eyes.

Is this woman...

Yao Chen had some guesses about Yunying's identity, but Yunying didn't care and glanced at Yao Chen.

"I wanted to erase your memory of us, but after all, you are a celestial soul, and it's not as easy as erasing his memory." Yun Ying lightly waved her hand and hung the ring back on Xiao Yan's neck, and said to Yao Chen calmly: "Don't mention our existence to him, don't mention a word, if he knew about this meeting, our interest would be gone."

"By then, there will be no need for you to exist."

Yunying's words were plain, yet extremely cold and threatening. Then she disappeared without a trace in a flash, leaving Yao Chen standing there in a daze for a long time, unable to recover.

Just let us go like this?

Yao Chen frowned tightly, with deep doubt in his eyes.

What does this woman want to do?

At this moment, the man lying on the ground slowly opened his eyes, covered his head and slowly sat up, his eyes full of confusion.

"Am I unconscious?"

".Ah." Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Chen replied softly: "You just fainted due to lack of strength after using the Flame Devouring Wave Ruler."

"Is that so? Sure enough, this trick can't be used casually."

Xiao Yan did not doubt Yao Chen's words at all. He murmured in a low voice and did not mention Yun Ying at all.

However, Yao Chen's eyes revealed a deep fear.

Surprisingly, it was completely wiped out, the memory that only belonged to her.

Although Yao Chen was extremely suspicious of Yunying, he still decided to follow Yunying's orders and not mention her existence to Xiao Yan.

Yunying is very powerful.

It was so strong that Yao Chen had no chance to struggle at all.

Yao Chen didn't know what the woman's purpose was, but at this stage, she could only obey.

If it was just Yao Chen himself, he would not allow himself to be manipulated like this, even if it meant death.

However, Xiao Yan was also implicated.

Yao Chen was willing to sacrifice even his own life, but he could not accept that something unexpected happened to Xiao Yan.

Absolutely not

"That's right!" Xiao Yan suddenly came to his senses, stood up abruptly, and his face was full of anxiety, "We must hurry to save Boss Yao!"

On the mountain near the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's fortress, Yun Ying looked at Xiao Yan who was running towards the depths of the fortress and Yao Chen who was following behind him. She sat on the edge of the cliff with one leg hooked up, her arm lightly resting on her knee, one hand supporting her side eye, and her long leg swaying on the edge of the cliff.

"Well, let us see how interesting you are~"

Yunying laughed softly, then turned her head slightly and looked at the man in black who was kneeling behind her and unable to move.

"Having an eight-star Douhuang as a bodyguard is really a wonder in this small Jia Ma Empire. It seems that the boy has many more secrets than what we see~" Yun Ying said softly, with a little displeasure between her brows, "And I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that you have the aura of that person on you, which is really annoying."

At this moment, the man in black who was kneeling on the ground was filled with fear, and his black robe was soaked with cold sweat.

His name is Ling Ying, and he is the guard ordered to protect Xiao Yan.

Just now, he saw Xiao Yan facing three Dou Lings alone, and immediately tensed up his nerves, ready to rescue him at any time.

However, the next second, he discovered with horror that he could not move at all.

There are people here who are much stronger than you!

Ling Ying came to this conclusion immediately. Not to mention breaking free from the invisible restraints on his body, he couldn't even bite his tongue to commit suicide!

And when Ling Ying was forced to stand still and watch the scene of Xiao Yan killing three Dou Lings in seconds, he just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a woman with the strength of a nine-star Dou Huang appear in the fortress.

However, Ling Ying was still unable to move and could only watch the interaction between the woman and Xiao Yan.

The moment Ling Ying saw Xiao Yan fall to the ground, her heart sank.

Then, the woman disappeared, appeared in front of him, and said what he had just said.

Ling Ying could clearly feel that Yunying's strength was undoubtedly that of a nine-star Douhuang.

But the alarm deep in his heart was ringing like crazy! Constantly reminding him that this woman was definitely not just a Nine-Star Douhuang!

And the reason why I am unable to move right now is definitely because of her!!!

Yunying slowly stood up from the edge of the cliff, came in front of Lingying, and kept sniffing Lingying.

Ling Ying not only did not feel excited when such a beautiful woman smelled his scent, but the fear in his heart became even stronger.

The reason is simple: this beautiful woman can take his life at any time!

"Ah~~~ As expected~" After a while, Yunying's scarlet eyes revealed a little realization, and her eyes suddenly became extremely unfriendly, "You are, Gu Yuan's subordinate, right?"

! ! ! ! !

Yunying's words made Lingying's heart beat even more violently!

Who is this woman? ! She actually knows the clan leader? ! !

"Sure enough, that young man is Xiao Xuan's descendant."

Yunying turned around gracefully and came to the edge of the cliff again, looking down at the fortress.

A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Thousands of years ago, he called Xiao Xuan a good friend, but he became a coward at the critical moment. Now he hypocritically sends a little Douhuang to protect the younger generation of the Xiao clan. Gu Yuan is the only one who can be so hypocritical~"

Saying this, Yunying pointed her finger at Lingying without turning her head, her words filled with a sinister chill.

"Although I really want you, the little Dou Huang, to disappear forever, you are lucky. I am very interested in that young man. If we just wipe you out, Gu Yuan will notice something is wrong and send someone else. Then there will be no end to it."

As he spoke, a ray of dark light suddenly shot into Ling Ying's mind.

"As the price of my life, please give me my memories."

This was the last sentence Ling Ying heard before he lost consciousness.

Chapter 121 Rescue

With the help of Yao Chen's soul detection, Xiao Yan finally found the location of the prison in the huge Wolf Head Mercenary Group fortress.

The two mercenaries guarding the prison door naturally saw Xiao Yan and shouted loudly.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Wolf Head Mercenary Army?"

"excuse me!"

Xiao Yan said in a deep voice, and instantly flashed in front of the two men. He punched each of them in the abdomen, knocking them unconscious.

Now that Mu She and his son are dead, and the three Dou Ling who were the masterminds behind the scenes have all been killed, as long as they talk nicely, these mercenaries from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group will have no reason to continue fighting Xiao Yan.

But Xiao Yan didn't have time to explain to them now.

The most important thing now is Boss Yao’s safety!

Xiao Yan kicked open the prison door and with the help of Yao Chen, he quickly found the cell where Boss Yao was imprisoned. He also saw Boss Yao sitting on the ground with his back against the wall and called out to him immediately.

"Boss Yao!"

Boss Yao also saw Xiao Yan outside the cell and looked at him in astonishment.

"Xiao Yan? Why are you here?!"

Seeing that Boss Yao responded to him, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled.

"It's a long story, let's talk about it when we get out."

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand, easily pulled open the prison bars, entered the cell and gently helped Boss Yao up.

"Xiao Yan, where's Xian'er?!"

Boss Yao, who was helped up by Xiao Yan, immediately asked about Xiao Yixian's condition, and Xiao Yan answered softly.

"Don't worry, she's safe. I'll take you to see her now."

"Really? That's great." Hearing that Xiao Yixian was safe, Boss Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately remembered something and began to struggle, "No! Xiao Yan, leave quickly! Don't worry about me! There are Dou Lings in this fortress!!!"

That day, Mu She suddenly sent someone to deliver a message, asking him to come to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group to treat the patients.

Boss Yao felt something in his heart, and after instructing Xiao Yixian to leave Qingshan Town immediately to find Xiao Yan, he came to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

Sure enough, as he expected, as soon as Boss Yao came in, he was pressed to the ground by the mercenaries. From Mu She's next words, he got two important messages.

One is that Mu She wants to use himself and Xian'er to lure Xiao Yan to rescue them and capture him.
