245: tit-for-tat

Immediately, Nan Qingyue drew the Sword she carried on her back. A cold glint erupted in her eyes as she stared fixedly at Situ Jiu.

If Situ Jiu truly attacked, there would not be many opportunities left.

"Silly boy, move aside quickly!" Nan Qingyue shouted, hoping to use this method to persuade Situ Jiu to retreat.

However, Situ Jiu did not understand at all. With a dark expression, he actually reached out and shielded Physician Chen behind him.

Situ Jiu stepped forward, brandishing the Sword in his hand, a cold glint erupting in his eyes.

Watching this scene, Nan Qingyue could not help but feel a lingering fear.

After all, a fierce light had erupted in Situ Jiu's eyes, which was enough to make anyone gasp in cold air.

"I won't move. I won't move even if I die! Senior Sister, if you do not let me pass, I will have no choice but to attack. Please, do not blame me." Situ Jiu brandished his Sword.

The Sword left a streak of light in the air, and a cold glint erupted in Situ Jiu's eyes.

At this moment, Situ Jiu stepped forward, the corner of his mouth curling up as he stared fixedly at Nan Qingyue.

"Physician Chen, get ready!" Situ Jiu said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Physician Chen nodded vigorously, secretly feeling smug. He truly had not expected this boy to be so easily deceived; he was simply a fool.

However, as long as he could kill Li Changfeng, the mission would be accomplished, and everything would be finished.

"Understood." Physician Chen nodded vigorously and replied.

"Senior Sister, offended!" Situ Jiu stepped forward. In the blink of an eye, he arrived before Nan Qingyue, his Sword like the brush in the hand of a judge.

Whoever was to die today would not live to see tomorrow.

Situ Jiu shouted, "I must save Mr. Li; no one can stop me!"

Immediately, Physician Chen reacted quickly and circled to the side.

It was at this moment that Nan Qingyue brandished her Sword and swung it violently.

In the air, the Sword hummed. Nan Qingyue's face was dark, and a cold glint erupted in her eyes. It was right at this moment.

Nan Qingyue stepped forward, brandishing her Sword to meet him head-on.

Clang! With a crisp sound, the two Swords collided fiercely.

Sparks exploded in the air, and the Swords recoiled, sending sparks flying everywhere.

A long while later, Nan Qingyue's face was dark. Her gaze narrowed as she stared fixedly at Situ Jiu. "You brat, you really are foolish to the extreme!"

"Senior Sister, please just move aside. I need to save Mr. Li! Don't keep blocking me!" Situ Jiu said coldly, gritting his teeth hard.

In truth, the fire of rage in Nan Qingyue's heart had long since been ignited. She clenched her fists tightly, and a cold glint erupted in her eyes.

Immediately, Situ Jiu exerted force suddenly. He brandished his Sword, and a fierce power erupted from the blade, actually sending Nan Qingyue flying backward.

At this very moment, Nan Qingyue retreated several steps; she had absolutely no strength left to resist.

Boom! With a loud noise, Nan Qingyue quickly retreated several steps, feeling utterly helpless.

If Nan Qingyue's strength had been able to hold out, this certainly would not have happened.

"Situ Jiu, are you serious?" Nan Qingyue's face was dark, and a cold glint erupted in her eyes.

At this moment, the rage in Nan Qingyue's heart had been ignited. What she had not expected was that Situ Jiu was actually serious.

Situ Jiu was truly going to use such methods to kill Nan Qingyue!

Watching this scene, Nan Qingyue gasped in cold air, and she first made herself calm down.

Immediately, Nan Qingyue gripped her Sword tightly. A cold glint erupted in her eyes as she stared fixedly at Physician Chen.

"Well done! Kid, your strength is truly strong!" Physician Chen actually said these words, the corner of his mouth curling into a sneer.

Immediately, Physician Chen cautiously crept toward Li Changfeng; he already had a plan.

At this very moment, Situ Jiu stepped forward and blocked directly in front of Physician Chen.

"Physician Chen, don't be in such a hurry. My Senior Sister is still quite formidable; you must not let her hurt you!" Situ Jiu reached out, using this method to stop Physician Chen.

Instantly, Physician Chen gasped in cold air and sighed.

Fortunately, he had not exposed his true purpose just now; otherwise, if these two joined forces, they would be truly difficult to deal with.

"Very well, thank you, Young Master." Physician Chen's face was dark, and he felt utterly helpless. If Situ Jiu had not stopped him just now, he would have already reached Li Changfeng's side.

Situ Jiu felt a bit displeased, but there was nothing he could do.

A long while later, Situ Jiu gasped in cold air, feeling even more helpless.

In this way, Physician Chen could only look for another opportunity; he gasped in cold air.

"Senior Sister, I truly do not want to hurt you, but please do not force me." Situ Jiu said with a dark expression.

Hearing this, Nan Qingyue's face darkened. She reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

"You brat, you say you won't hurt me? Look at yourself, look at what I've been hurt into!" Nan Qingyue shouted coldly, feeling utterly helpless.

Nan Qingyue coughed dryly several times; just now, that Sword strike had indeed forced her back.

If Nan Qingyue had not relied on her body to forcibly endure it, she likely would have been injured by Situ Jiu's Sword.

"Ah? This, I didn't mean to, Senior Sister, are you okay?" Situ Jiu felt incredibly awkward, gently scratching his head, and then gasped in cold air.

Situ Jiu's face flushed red, and he stood frozen in place, not knowing what to do.

At this very moment, Nan Qingyue reacted quickly. She brandished her Sword and pointed it at Situ Jiu in the distance.

"You brat, do you think an apology like that is enough? If I were to let you off just like that, I would be truly ignorant of the ways of the world!" Nan Qingyue's face was dark, and she felt utterly helpless.

At this moment, Nan Qingyue wanted to properly teach Situ Jiu a lesson, but her strength was not quite there yet.

"Otherwise, what else do you want!" Physician Chen's face was dark, and he revealed a ferocious expression. "If you are sensible, leave here quickly. Otherwise, Young Master Situ Jiu will definitely kill you, and might even take your life!"

Physician Chen said these words coldly, wearing a serious expression.

However, Situ Jiu frowned deeply; he had never thought about killing Nan Qingyue.

Yet, in that instant, Situ Jiu could clearly feel the Evil Qi erupting from Physician Chen; this person did not have good intentions.
