The leader snorted and said, "Our goal is to kill Yun Yang. What does it have to do with Shangguan Lingxiu? Don't you understand this?! "
The assistant retorted angrily, "I know this better than you do. The current situation is that we can't take Yun Yang down with brute force alone, but Shangguan Lingxiu will speed things up no matter what!"
The leader sighed softly. Looking at his assistant's furious gaze, he knew that he had to explain himself.
"The situation is obvious now. Shangguan Lingxiu knows that she can't escape, but she doesn't want to either. She knows that once she moves, Yun Yang's state of mind will be affected, whether she can escape or not. Even if she does manage to escape, Yun Yang can't guarantee her safety. That's why he's worried. Isn't that the case? "
"Yes."
"Since Shangguan Lingxiu can't escape, Yun Yang has to keep her within his sight to be at ease. Her staying here is the main reason why Yun Yang can't escape! Do you understand what I'm saying? "
The leader was exasperated. "Do you think that with Yun Yang's cultivation base, he really doesn't have a way to escape? I dare say that if he wants to leave, he'll only have to pay the price of a light injury and he can escape anytime he wants. Do you have any doubts about what I'm saying? "
"This …"
The assistant was no fool, being able to reach the level of Dao realm. How could he not see that Yun Yang was only at a slight disadvantage after being besieged by more than a dozen people until now? If he wanted to escape, he would have left long ago.
In other words, there must be something here that he could not let go of, and the only thing he could not let go of was Shangguan Lingxiu.
"What do you want by attacking Shangguan Lingxiu? Do you want Yun Yang to realize that he'll die if he's distracted? One dying is better than two dying together, so that he can decide to escape? If that's the case, can you stop him? "the leader asked.
"He won't leave me be, will he?"
"Put yourself in his shoes. If it were you, you'd naturally try your best to protect the people around you if you could ensure your own safety. What if you're in a situation where you're on the brink of death? Are you going to protect them with all your might? "The leader said angrily," Can't you use your brain? Is your brain just for decoration?! "
"That's why Shangguan Lingxiu can't leave or die. She can only stay here. As long as she can't leave, Yun Yang won't break out of the encirclement for the time being, right? "
"Why do you have to announce such an obvious situation?!"
"What if we hold Shangguan Lingxiu hostage?"
"Looks like you really are a pig! I've heard people say that even pigs can fly when they're in the eye of the storm. I've really broadened my horizons today! " The leader said angrily, "We're obviously here to kill Yun Yang. If we capture Shangguan Lingxiu at this juncture, what do you think Yun Yang will do at once?"
The deputy coughed. "Break out! Only when he left would there be a possibility of rescuing Shangguan Lingxiu. But if they accept the blackmail, then the two of them will only have a dead end. "
"That's right. If we were to go against Shangguan Lingxiu, with this lady's temper, she might even commit suicide when she realizes that she can't escape! By then, can you stop Yun Yang? "
"Uh …" That was actually possible.
"You already know everything. Do you still want to ask?" The leader's eyes were on the battlefield. "I really don't want to talk to you now."
"I understand your intention of not going against Shangguan Lingxiu." The deputy sighed and thought of a new question. "But why doesn't Shangguan Lingxiu leave on her own? She can escape. As long as she does, Yun Yang will have nothing to worry about."
The leader was exasperated. He looked at his deputy like he was looking at a fool and said, "If she could leave, would she stay? If she really wanted to leave, would you let her go? "
"She knows that she can't leave, that's why she's standing there. She's not participating in this battle that's beyond her ability to handle, but she's still maintaining a certain level of adaptability. This lady is obviously waiting, thinking the same thing as Yun Yang. If Yun Yang dies, she won't be able to live either. However, if the reinforcements come, both of them can live! "
"This is an exceedingly intelligent, extraordinarily wise, and very strong-willed lady. Threats and restraints don't apply to these two people! The current situation is the best one. Do you understand? "
"Uh …"
The deputy rolled his eyes, realizing that he was really an idiot. However, he was indignant and racked his brain to find a topic to talk about. "Since the other party has reinforcements … why don't you join the battle as soon as possible and end this as soon as possible?"
The leader of the masked men in black sighed. "I must change my deputy when I go back. If it really doesn't work, I'll request to be transferred to another team … I've f * cking had enough. How could he have a brother-in-law like you? A pig will always be a pig, no matter how high his cultivation base is … Sigh! "
As he sighed, he felt an indescribable sense of melancholy.
'You can be stupid, you can be stupid, but how can you be this stupid? '
He was utterly speechless.
The deputy did not speak for a long while. In fact, he still had a retort in his heart that he dared not voice out. 'Do you f * cking know who my brother-in-law is? If I'm a pig, what's my sister? What did my brother-in-law sleep with?' How dare you call me a pig and stupid with that f * cking brain of yours? How much better can you be? '
On the other side, Yun Yang was already drenched in sweat and his breathing was uneven.
Just like what the leader of the masked men had said, Yun Yang could have left long ago if he wanted to. However, he could not.
If he left, Shangguan Lingxiu would be finished.
It was impossible for Yun Yang to leave Shangguan Lingxiu behind and escape alone.
Furthermore, Yun Yang was confident that he could hold on until the reinforcements arrived. After all, he had left plenty of clues along the way. He believed that as long as he could hold on for a little longer, the reinforcements would come.
However, Yun Yang was not the only one who knew this. The masked men in black knew this as well, so they would only fight even harder.
Unexpectedly, Yun Yang's mystical Qi supply was endless. Logically speaking, Yun Yang's mystical Qi should have been depleted long ago in the face of such high-frequency and oppressive attacks. Even if Yun Yang had reserved some of his mystical Qi, an expert who had reached the third, fourth, or even fifth or sixth tier of Dao realm should have been depleted as well.
Yet, Yun Yang had persevered.
Everyone present felt that this was inconceivable.
Not only did Yun Yang persevere, he could even find time to counterattack occasionally and cause considerable damage to the assassins. It was even more unbelievable.
They could see that Yun Yang was getting more and more fatigued, his eyes drenched in sweat as he panted harshly, his expression turning grim. However, the wounds on the assassins were increasing as well.
They were also getting more and more tired. After all, they were all made of flesh and blood!
The saber in Yun Yang's hand left thin, bloody gashes on the assassins one after another.
It was not that Yun Yang did not want to cause further damage, but he could only inflict this level of damage with the time he was given. If he exerted too much force, he would fall into an unsalvageable state.
In spite of this, Yun Yang would not let go of the opportunity to injure his opponents.
From the beginning to the end, as long as he attacked, it would be done with a marvelous saber technique.
