The man carrying Xu Qing stiffened when he heard her words. However, he still hugged her firmly with one hand and snatched the assassin’s long saber with the other. As for the assassin in the distance, someone would deal with him.
The aura emitted by the person was cold and bloodthirsty, as if only gore could make him feel happy. It was like everyone was as insignificant as an ant in his eyes. He could kill them however he wanted. No one could stop him, and no one dared to stop him.
This made Xu Qing tremble because this man gave her a terrifying feeling. However, it was also because of this that Xu Qing knew that this man wasn’t Qiao Yanhui.
He was… Zhuo Wuyou.
Xu Qing instantly felt a little helpless in Zhuo Wuyou’s arms. Xu Qing wanted to escape from his arms, but didn’t dare to move since she was afraid that she would disturb Zhuo Wuyou and make him lose his momentum.
On the other hand, Zhuo Wuyou wasn’t afraid at all when facing such a swarm of killers. As he killed an approaching killer, he threw out his long saber and stabbed an assassin who was about to take out his gun! It was obvious how powerful he was. Then, he quickly took out the gun he carried and shot them one by one. Not a single bullet was wasted and their heads were all blown up.
As expected of a professional assassin, Zhuo Wuyou was fast, accurate, and ruthless. He knew that he had to protect the woman in his arms. Otherwise, he would definitely regret it. When he saw the injured Xu Qing, he was even more furious that these people actually dared to hurt her!
Soon, the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood. The fallen corpses and blood dyed the entire Moon Elder Street red. This annual holiday became a massacre.
There seemed to be an endless number of assassins. Zhuo Wuyou’s gun quickly ran out of bullets, and even his spare gun was used up. He also suffered many abrasions, but even so, he didn’t let go of Xu Qing. He kept her firmly in his arms to prevent her from getting injured again.
Xu Qing saw that Zhuo Wuyou was injured and the smell of blood on his body was getting stronger and stronger. She said fearfully, “Let me down! I can protect myself! You don’t have to take care of me.” Xu Qing knew that with Zhuo Wuyou’s ability, if not for the fact that he had to protect her, it was impossible for him to be injured. Moreover, Zhuo Wuyou shouldn’t have been injured like this. Everything that happened today was an undeserved calamity for Zhuo Wuyou. He couldn’t sacrifice his life for her. Xu Qing didn’t want to bear the burden of guilt. She couldn’t afford it.
Zhuo Wuyou’s face was pale, but he didn’t answer Xu Qing, nor did he let go of her. He snatched the other party’s weapon again and counterattacked with bloodlust. His movements became even more fierce, as if as long as he hugged Xu Qing, he would have endless power, and he would have the entire world in his grasp.
Huang Zhi, who was still searching for Zhuo Wuyou, saw the injured Zhuo Wuyou surrounded by people, but Zhuo Wuyou was still hugging Xu Qing tightly. Her heart sank. She took off the white mask on her face and threw it on the ground. The mask that fell to the ground was exactly the same as the mask Xu Qing was wearing.
This was a mask carefully selected by Huang Zhi, and it matched the mask she had asked Zhuo Wuyou to wear.
At this moment, Huang Zhi’s face was finally revealed! It was a stunning face. Even Mu Weiqing couldn’t compare to her.
That’s right, Huang Zhi was a woman. She had always been a woman, but she disguised herself as a man. In front of Zhuo Wuyou, she was a loyal male subordinate, because only then would Zhuo Wuyou allow her to stay by his side. She had specifically chosen a long aqua-blue dress today and was wearing a light blue gauze scarf. In addition, she had also put on makeup. She looked graceful and her eyes gave her an exotic look. However, at this moment, there was only a bitter smile on her face, making her charming face look extremely dejected.
In fact, ever since Huang Zhi could remember, she had never worn female clothes. She originally wanted to use this meeting to remind Zhuo Wuyou that she was also a woman, a woman who had always been waiting for him and was in love with him. She would never betray him. However, she was worried that Zhuo Wuyou would forget that she was also a woman, so she wanted to remind him. She still hoped that Zhuo Wuyou would develop some romantic feelings for her, even if it was just a little…
