In just a breath, the Summoned Beast appeared before Ouyang Zixin, blocking the sound wave attack from the Howling Twin-headed Serpent.
What is happening?!
The man stepped forward in shock, his eyes filled with uncertainty as he looked at the scene before him. He didn't even notice that his beloved sister had been pushed to the ground. He muttered under his breath—why? How could this happen? Why...
The Summoned Beast's defense against the sound wave attack was completely unprepared, a stark contrast to the previous situation. As a result, it was hit hard, blood pouring from its body, and it let out a gurgling sound from its throat before staggering and falling down.
Taking advantage of this moment, Ouyang Zixin once again used her strange agility to shift positions, moving to a blind spot of the Howling Twin-headed Serpent's head attack. This position was one she had discovered while darting around to attack; only here could she evade the physical attacks from the Howling Twin-headed Serpent.
The Summoned Beast had been easily defeated by Nameless, which left Ouyang Zixin somewhat speechless. However, there was nothing she could do; for the upcoming sound wave attack, she would have to rely on herself.
"Young Master..." The guard saw the man's eyes widen in rage, his face turning red as he tightly gripped his injured hand, blood flowing even faster. It was surprising to see their usually calm Young Master in such a state, prompting them to quickly shield Miss Huan behind them, worried he might accidentally harm her again.
"Fool!"
Baike was furious that her guard was not attacking the Howling Twin-headed Serpent but instead trying to save her. She scolded him angrily.
The guard had exerted all his Mysterious Energy to come to her rescue, only to be met with Baike's insult of "fool." He felt annoyed but dared not express it.
"Are you not going yet?!" Baike pointed towards Ouyang Zixin's direction, her eyes filled with calculation. Her demeanor clearly indicated that she wanted the guard to take action against Ouyang Zixin rather than attack the Howling Twin-headed Serpent.
Although Liu Ying and Liu Lu did not forcefully stop the guard according to Ouyang Zixin's wishes, it did not mean they would stand by idly. Moreover, how could the Bai Clan so openly "arrange" for an ambush in front of them?
This was something even a maid could not tolerate!
The two acted without regard for Ouyang Zixin's orders. If they allowed that guard to harm the young lady, what good would it do for them to have followed orders?
In an instant, Ning Zhiyuan also approached. Just as he was about to act, Baike blocked him directly. His raised hand halted mid-air, unable to fall for a moment due to the sight of her pale face causing him to lose focus.
How could this be?
Ning Zhiyuan was momentarily distracted. Liu Ying and Liu Lu working together were no match for that guard. He truly slipped past them and headed towards Ouyang Zixin and Xiaoshen.
The two wanted to chase after him but saw Ouyang Zixin gesture behind them for them to stop. They reluctantly halted their steps, spitting in frustration towards the direction of that guard before retreating back.
Ouyang Zixin was not distracted at all; she was fully focused on battling the Howling Twin-headed Serpent. If it weren't for Nameless constantly keeping an eye on everything around them, she might not have noticed the scene involving Liu Ying and Liu Lu.
Since the Bai Clan had repeatedly targeted her, she would not hold back any longer. What did it matter if a few people died?
When Ouyang Zixin killed the two Bai Clan Guardians in the cave, she had already made up her mind that she would never put herself in danger out of pity for others' lives.
If she could kill two, then why not take down another? If someone was eager to act as a shield for her, she would gladly accept.
The Howling Twin-headed Serpent's sonic attacks were continuously neutralized by Ouyang Zixin, who remained positioned in its blind spot, making it increasingly agitated. The dark red scales covering its body began to shimmer with a chilling light, occasionally reflecting an attack power that could harm one's eyesight.
Had it been hiding its strength all along?
Why?
Nameless, can you move that guardian like you do with a Summoned Beast?
—No.
Nameless could move the man's Summoned Beast to block the sonic attacks solely because the Summoned Beast possessed some spatial attributes. Otherwise, Nameless would not be able to move it directly.
As for this human guardian, even temporarily trapping him in space would require considerable effort.
Ouyang Zixin was not disappointed upon hearing this; she had merely asked out of curiosity, and Nameless's answer was within her expectations.
After exchanging a few words, the guardian charged forward. It seemed as if he was attacking the Howling Twin-headed Serpent, but anyone with a bit of cultivation could tell that he was clearly targeting Ouyang Zixin.
Meanwhile, Ning Zhiyuan had also snapped back to reality. Facing Liu Ying and Liu Lu's gaze, his face flushed with embarrassment. He touched his nose and muttered—what a dizzy spell.
Just moments ago, he had mistaken Baike for Xin'er Girl.
There was no resemblance between the two; he couldn't understand what kind of charm she had used to make him see things so wrongly.
Without further ado, he quickly leaped into the air and flew towards Ouyang Zixin. He couldn't afford to make another mistake; if his momentary distraction led to Ouyang Zixin being harmed by a Bai Clan Guardian, he would never forgive himself.
Regardless of whether Ning Zhiyuan had misjudged the situation or not, his moment of distraction surprised even Baike. Being stared at so intently by him stirred something strange within her. However, before she could sort through her thoughts, she saw Ning Zhiyuan flying towards Ouyang Zixin.
Suppressing her confusion, Baike turned her gaze towards Ouyang Zixin. Recalling how she had emerged from the cave covered in blood, she feared that her guardian had acted inside. However, this was not something Baike had arranged.
There is only one possibility: those two guards were following someone else's orders. The only person besides her father who could give such orders is likely that favored one, Liniang.
Baike has no choice but to take the blame for this situation. Since that is the case, she might as well take decisive action and directly deal with Ouyang Zixin. If she can take her life, that would be best; if not, she must at least inflict serious injury.
"Big sister."
A clear voice rang out beside Baike, accompanied by a small hand tugging at her clothing.
Turning around, she saw a chubby little girl looking up at her with a sweet smile, saying, "Big sister, I'm glad you're okay. My brother risked himself to save you..."
"Huan'er." The injured man had already tended to his arm and quickly stepped forward to pull his sister back, feeling somewhat embarrassed as he said, "Miss, my sister is young and doesn't understand. Please don't take her words seriously."
What did Huan'er actually say?
Nothing at all.
But the injury on his arm was right in front of her; what more needed to be said?
Baike smiled gently and nodded slightly, saying, "I will not forget the life-saving grace of the young master." (To be continued.)
