"Are you from the Martial Guards of the Wuding Marquisate? What do you want with me?" Shen Wanzhou forced a smile, directly confronting the Martial Guard.
Although she had suspected that Chen Yuantu, this ungrateful scoundrel, was deliberately targeting the Shen Family, she had never had any evidence. The arrival of the Martial Guards clearly indicated ill intentions.
The Martial Guard's expression was emotionless, his gaze sharp as an eagle's, coldly fixed on Shen Wanzhou. "Ah, it's you, madam. I was just joking. Our lady wishes to invite you for a chat, to catch up on old times."
Catch up? Chat? Shen Wanzhou couldn't help but scoff. She knew all too well what Chen Yuantu and Xu Yan'er were plotting. They probably wanted to drag her back, interrogate her about what she had done, and then silence her for good!
"Sir Martial Guard, as you know, women have their days of inconvenience. I'm not feeling well today; it would be better to postpone our meeting. I promise to visit the Marquis personally another day. How does that sound?"
"Madam, I cannot disregard the orders of the Marquis and our lady. If you do not wish to make things difficult for me, please cooperate and come along quietly," the Martial Guard replied ominously, his patience clearly wearing thin.
Hmph! You think I'll go with you? Shen Wanzhou's expression changed as she clutched Chen Li tightly and turned to flee. The Vital Energy within her surged to its peak in an instant.
Hmph! Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit! Do you think you can escape? The Martial Guard sneered, casually tossing something into the air. Suddenly, a dazzling light flickered as an invisible barrier locked down the sky above them.
Shen Wanzhou felt a tightening sensation around her body, as if bound by an unseen force, causing her speed to slow dramatically.
What is this?! Shen Wanzhou's heart raced in shock.
"Hmph! This is the Heaven-Sealing Earth-Locking Talisman bestowed by the Marquis! Within this talisman’s domain, let alone you, even someone at the Peak of Blood Condensation cannot hope to escape!" The Martial Guard's face showed a triumphant smirk.
Shen Wanzhou's complexion turned pale; she could feel the power of the Heaven-Sealing Earth-Locking Talisman was far beyond her ability to resist.
Damn it! Am I really going to fall here? Despair filled Shen Wanzhou's heart. She never expected that not only was her opponent stronger than her by a level, but he also possessed such a treasure.
It seemed that Chen Yuantu and Xu Yan'er were truly willing to go all out to cut off the Shen Family's escape route! Even after disguising herself and risking everything for money, she still couldn't escape her fate.
With determination hardening in her heart, Shen Wanzhou held Chen Li tightly and charged toward the Martial Guard. If she couldn't escape, then she would fight with all her might!
She refused to believe that this Martial Guard would dare kill her within the capital!
"Overestimating oneself!" The Martial Guard sneered coldly, his figure flashing as he easily dodged Shen Wanzhou's attack.
He did not rush to counterattack but instead watched Shen Wanzhou leisurely, like a cat playing with a mouse.
Seizing this opportunity, Shen Wanzhou unhesitatingly condensed a stream of Vital Energy and instantly struck forward into the void. If she could break the barrier and reach a crowded area, even Chen Yuantu would not dare to kill them.
Thus, she exerted all her strength, trying to break through the damned talisman array. However, the Vital Energy struck the emptiness as if it had sunk into the sea, causing no ripples whatsoever.
"Hahaha, nothing! This Heaven-Sealing Earth-Locking Talisman is a fourth-grade Spirit Talisman. With your meager skills, you think you can break it? You're simply dreaming! Without Innate Realm cultivation, you have no hope of breaking it." The Martial Guard couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.
"Give up! Just surrender obediently, and perhaps I might leave your corpse intact!" The Martial Guard advanced step by step, his face full of mockery.
A trace of despair flashed in Shen Wanzhou's eyes as she looked down at Chen Li in her arms and softly said, "Li, it's mother who couldn't protect you well!"
Chen Li seemed to understand, tightly wrapping his small hands around Shen Wanzhou's neck.
"Die!" The Martial Guard sneered, drawing his long knife. A cold gleam flashed as he aimed directly for Shen Wanzhou's face.
At that critical moment, a blood-red light suddenly erupted from Shen Wanzhou's embrace!
The light was as thin as a hair but incredibly sharp, radiating a scorching aura as it pierced straight toward the Martial Guard's brow.
"What the hell is this?!" The Martial Guard was startled, clearly not expecting this sudden turn of events.
He instinctively tried to dodge but was horrified to find that his body was completely immobilized!
What’s happening?! Panic surged within the Martial Guard as a chill shot up from his feet to the top of his head.
At that moment, Shen Wanzhou also felt the power binding her weaken for an instant. Without hesitation, she rolled on the ground with Chen Li in her arms, narrowly avoiding the Martial Guard's lethal strike.
"Li, is that you?" Shen Wanzhou looked down at Chen Li in her arms, disbelief filling her eyes. She distinctly felt that the blood-red light had emanated from Chen Li!
"Mother, hurry!" Chen Li's voice was childish yet carried an undeniable authority, as if he had transformed into someone else entirely.
Shen Wanzhou paused for a moment before realizing that now was not the time to dwell on such matters; preserving their lives was paramount!
She dared not linger any longer and ran frantically in another direction with Chen Li held tightly in her arms.
"Damn it!" The Martial Guard regained control of his body just then and watched in shock and fury as Shen Wanzhou evaded him.
He never expected that he would be in such a situation! The force he had just felt was too strange! He could not delay any longer; if he didn't deal with the mother and son soon, it would be him who would die!
With this thought, the Vital Energy within him surged, flowing into the blade in his hand. "You all won't escape!"
Chen Li frowned, his small face pale, a hint of exhaustion flashing in his eyes. In a moment of desperation, he had mobilized the Vital Energy he had accumulated within himself to unleash the Blood Flame Divine Needle Technique he had cultivated in the Womb.
The Blood Flame Divine Needle Technique was immensely powerful, but unfortunately, he was just an infant now—too fragile to condense much Vital Energy. That last strike had nearly exhausted all his strength.
"No, I can barely hold on..." Chen Li's voice grew weaker, darkness swirling before his eyes as waves of fatigue washed over him. If this continued, his mother would not escape this calamity!
The situation was dire; he needed to find external help quickly! With that thought, Chen Li focused his mind, and suddenly a thread of Divine Soul Power pierced through the Heaven-Sealing Earth-Locking Talisman, flying toward a nearby residence.
Shen Qingyue, over here!
At the same time, not far from where Shen Wanzhou was located, a delicate baby girl lay in a cradle, sleeping soundly. This baby girl was none other than Shen Qingyue!
