Chapter 445 The Red Knight and Princess Jingxia
"Where do you think you're going!" the man in red shouted, his voice booming like a bell.
Immediately afterwards, a flash of red light appeared, and the man in red was already close to the four assassins.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The man in red moved with lightning speed, instantly knocking the four assassins to the ground.
Leng Yun was surprised to find that the red-clothed man's cultivation level was similar to Huang Pan's, having reached the seventh level of the Sound Martial Realm. No wonder these assassins were wary of him.
Then, the man in red walked towards Leng Yun with a hearty smile on his face: "Thank you for saving me, young brother!"
Leng Yun was still in shock at the other party's cultivation level and couldn't help but feel secretly glad that he hadn't made an enemy of this person.
"It's nothing," Leng Yun said calmly, showing no sign of weakness.
The man in red also greatly admired Leng Yun's character, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Good! Good, indeed a hero emerges from among the young!"
As they were talking, the four assassins behind them suddenly sprang up and charged at the man in red.
Although the cultivation levels of these four individuals are all around the fifth level of the Martial Realm, their combined attack would be formidable.
The man in red gave a light snort, and green fist energy burst forth from his hand. He instantly turned around, forming a huge shield behind him.
"boom!"
The four of them slammed into the shield together, creating a huge explosion that sent ripples spreading outwards.
For a moment, the two sides were locked in a standoff.
Seeing that the two sides were evenly matched, Leng Yun seized an opportunity and suddenly fired four golden beams from his hands.
Nineteen Flowing Arrows!
The golden arrows of energy instantly pierced the bodies of the four assassins, as they were engaged in a fierce battle with the man in red and had no time to pay attention to Leng Yun.
Therefore, Leng Yun easily killed four experts at the fifth level of the Martial Realm, converting them into his own experience points, and the number was quite considerable.
The man in red breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the four people were dead.
He thanked Leng Yun again, saying, "It's all thanks to you, young brother."
"How did you end up being hunted down?" Leng Yun asked calmly.
"Hmph, you're still talking. Several of my men are already dead." The girl in white also walked over.
"Are you a princess?" Leng Yun asked again, feeling that this girl in white was still too childish.
"Of course, I am Princess Jingxia of Yongxia Kingdom," Princess Jingxia said proudly.
At this moment, the man in red armor explained, "Yes, Her Highness the Princess came to our country on a diplomatic mission to establish friendly relations and is on her way back. I am responsible for escorting them. My name is Red Knight."
Leng Yun nodded, having roughly guessed what had happened; the princess must have been attacked on her way back to the country.
“I didn’t expect there to be someone lying in ambush here!” the Red Knight continued. “Moreover, these assassins are extremely skilled; they must not be ordinary people.”
Leng Yun said, "Brother Hong, your cultivation level is higher."
The Red Knight laughed heartily: "Yes, but I actually fell for their trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain, putting the princess in danger. It was really wrong of me. If it weren't for your help, young brother, I would probably have become a sinner."
"Hmph, it's a pity his cultivation is too poor; he can't even beat an assassin." Princess Jingxia looked at Leng Yun with disdain.
Leng Yun found it amusing but remained silent.
"That's not how it works. For a young man of your age to have reached such a level of cultivation is already astonishing. Your future achievements will surely be remarkable," the Red Knight said sincerely.
"Alright, since my guards are all dead, I'll reluctantly let you join my ranks of protectors," Princess Jingxia said, her face showing great reluctance.
Red Knight and Leng Yun exchanged a smile; it seemed he knew the little princess's temperament.
Leng Yun shook her head and said, "I have other things to do, so I won't stay with you."
Princess Jingxia stomped her foot in anger: "Hmph, as if anyone cares!"
“Since you have business to attend to, young man, we won’t disturb you any longer. I still need to escort the princess back to Yongxia Kingdom,” the Red Knight said.
Leng Yun nodded: "Then I'll take my leave."
"By the way, young man, I still don't know your name," said the Red Knight.
"Leng Yun." Leng Yun uttered two words calmly.
The Red Knight paused slightly upon hearing the name, muttering, "Leng Yun."
"You know me?" Leng Yun also noticed that the Red Knight seemed a little strange.
Then, the Red Knight smiled and said, "Now everyone knows your reputation, Lord Leng. I wonder how the Ice Emperor is? I had the honor of meeting him more than ten years ago."
"Hey, let's hurry up and go. Don't waste your breath on this brat!" Princess Jingxia said. She was a few years younger than Leng Yun and still called him a brat.
The Red Knight smiled and said to Leng Yun, "I heard you've made a challenge to the Miraculous Medicine Pavilion. Be careful then."
Leng Yun's heart skipped a beat. Did the Red Knight know something?
"Could it be that the Miracle Medicine Pavilion has a master?" Leng Yun asked.
The Red Knight shook his head, looking somewhat troubled, but finally said, "Be careful of the royal family."
Leng Yun was puzzled: "The royal family? Why? They want to help the Miracle Medicine Pavilion."
“Logically, that’s how it should be, and that would make it less scary. However, the royal family hasn’t made a move at all, so I’m afraid there might be some conspiracy involved,” the Red Knight said.
Leng Yun fell into deep thought upon hearing these words.
"Let's hurry up and go," Princess Jingxia said impatiently.
The Red Knight laughed heartily again: "Then I'll take my leave, Brother Leng Yun. We'll definitely meet again in the future."
After saying that, the Red Knight took Princess Jingxia away from there.
Leng Yun watched their retreating figures, lost in thought.
After the two had gone far away, Leng Yun spread his wings and flew back towards Leng Family Village.
Before long, Leng Yun had arrived above Leng Family Village.
From afar, they could see Grand Tutor Pang, the Ice Emperor, coming out to greet them.
During this period, it was the Ice Emperor who protected Leng Family Village, and nothing happened.
"You're back. How did it go? Did you get the antidote?" Grand Tutor Pang asked.
Just then, Leng Yun landed on the ground: "I got it. Thank you so much, Elder Pang, for helping to protect this place during this time."
"Stop talking and hurry up and save them. I think they're all about to die," said Grand Tutor Pang.
It turned out that although the orange light had a delaying effect, Leng Yun had indeed wasted too much time, and the half-month deadline was fast approaching.
Leng Yun took out the antidote from his pocket: "Alright, now I will detoxify everyone!"
It turned out that although the orange light had a delaying effect, Leng Yun had indeed wasted too much time, and the half-month deadline was fast approaching.
Leng Yun took out the antidote from his pocket: "Alright, now I will detoxify everyone!"
Since everyone in Lengjiazhuang was poisoned, Leng Yun naturally couldn't give the antidote to each person individually.
Doing that would not only be time-consuming and laborious, but also simply not feasible given the available time.
With that thought, Leng Yun spread his wings again and rose into the sky.
A faint orange glow still lingered in the sky above Lengjiazhuang.
Leng Yunfei flew to the very center of Leng Family Village and slowly crushed the antidote into powder...
