Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant
chapter-142

Chapter 142 – Awakening (2)

Ye Mu had never felt such a strong killing intent. It was so severe to the point the pain of not tearing her opponent to pieces was akin to being pricked by needles. It made her throw away the half of the blade that had been crushed into a ball and throw herself down once again!

The sound of the blade hitting the ground was accompanied by the sound of thunder, making Zi Xu shudder! In the next second, a small white hand reached out to grab him. Zi Xu’s eyes opened wide, wanting to dodge, but that hand followed him like a shadow, growing larger and larger in his pupils. He was dead for sure!

“Your Majesty!” Suddenly, from far away, many people’s surprised voices could be heard. The voices were only so loud that they were slightly audible against the heavy rain and gruesome battle. However, Ye Mu could clearly hear them.

“Quick! His Majesty is injured! Protect him at all costs!”

She didn’t know who the other party was referring to as “Your Majesty,” but an incomprehensible sense of anxiety appeared in Ye Mu’s heart. After hesitating for a moment, she gave up on her prey and disappeared again in a flash.

Zi Xu and the others who were waiting for their imminent death had their eyes closed. Only after a while did they realize that they had escaped a terrible fate. Just when they had let out a breath of relief, Zi Xu suddenly shouted, “Crap!”

That thing must have heard the commotion below and let them go. This meant that His Majesty was in danger!

Mo Linyuan had been struck by an arrow.

If it were not for the protection of his golden mail, this arrow would have killed him on the spot.

Who would have thought that besides the inner force master, the other party also had an expert knowledgeable on bows and arrows, only waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack? As to why such an arrow had successfully pierced through his armor, the assassin must have used a heavy bow.

His eyesight was extremely good. Seeing that someone was carrying Mo Linyuan up the mountain, he smiled slightly. Gathering his inner force, he drew his bow, and aimed at Mo Linyuan’s neck!

As long as it hit, he would then be by the empress dowager’s side as her most trusted aide! No one would be able to surpass him!

Swish…

Originally, with the rain being so loud, the sounds of arrows would have been covered, but because this arrow was driven by inner force, it was too fast—a sonic boom could be heard as it shot straight towards like death towards Mo Linyuan!

Although Mo Linyuan wasn’t able to see the arrow, he heard the sound of the bowstring being released. He did not know which direction the arrow was coming from, but it was already too late—he saw the gleam of the arrow’s tip coming right at him at a terrifying sped!

It was a very heavy, triangular-shaped iron arrow. When it reached him, he could clearly see its trajectory, but he could not avoid it!

Could it be that he’s destined to die here today?!

At this critical moment, everything around him slowed down. And everyone looked at the arrow in horror. Some of them even reached out their hands to stop it, but in the end, the arrow pierced through the shield in front of Mo Linyuan, only a few inches away from his neck!

But suddenly, an arrow that could even pierce through an iron plate was caught by a small, white hand!

The crowd was in chaos! The archer’s vision became blocked so he couldn’t see if he had hit the target or not. However, as a very experienced archer, he was very confident in his aim.

That little emperor must be dead!

“Ye…Ye Mu?”

Her hair was in disarray and she wore a white robe. Her small hands gripped the arrow and with a clamp of her hand, the arrow broke into pieces. Mo Linyuan immediately grabbed her hand to examine a possible wound, only to find that there was no trace of the arrow left on her unblemished palm.

The scent of blood made Ye Mu frown, especially when the smell came from Mo Linyuan’s body. She stared at the wound that was still bleeding, and her eyes became more distorted as if traces of blood were spreading through her irises.

Someone wanted to hurt Mo Linyuan.
