บท 437: Chapter 437: Assistance
...
Luo Xue looked at the person in front of her and, for a moment, her desperate cries stopped as she became stunned.
The few remaining people around immediately felt a sense of danger and raised their weapons, assuming a defensive stance.
They looked at the sudden appearance of this person in their group with astonishment, overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness and despair.
They hadn't even sensed the presence of their opponent, the gap between them was just unbelievable.
The appearance of this person was like a ghost, making them feel powerless and hopeless.
"You bastard, get away from the princess!" Angry shouts came from behind, accompanied by a sharp sensation crawling down their spines. Zeng Yi instinctively turned around to see.
A knight in silver armor rushed towards him with a heavy sword in both hands, the sharp blade sweeping towards him.
Clang—
In an instant, the sound of steel clashing resonated in the air.
Underneath Zhang Ruonan's silver helmet, her eyes widened in astonishment as she watched the person easily block her powerful strike with a sword in his right hand.
What surprised her even more was that the sword in his hand was her comrade's weapon!
In the blink of an eye, he had seized his comrade's sword and parried her attack?
However, besides the princess, the closest knight was five meters away from him.
And yet, he managed to do such an unnecessary action in the blink of an eye!
What was even more terrifying was that in her field of vision, this person seemed to have not moved at all; she couldn't even make out the movement of him drawing his sword.
Which means her naked eye was unable to capture his speed!
Realizing the horrifying gap between them, Zhang Ruonan felt endless despair.
I'm sorry, father! I cannot fulfill your final request.
I'm too weak!
However, someone else was confused.
"Hey, hey, hey. I'm not your enemy." Zeng Yi said helplessly as he took a step back, creating distance between himself and Zhang Ruonan.
He had caught the scent of blood in the cold wind and followed the faint sound to this place.
When he arrived, he saw a group of wounded and exhausted spirit masters trapped in despair.
Judging from their armor, they seemed to be soldiers.
Being in this place, Zeng Yi felt an incredibly heavy and oppressive atmosphere.
Even if he hadn't appeared there, these people would have exhausted their stamina and spiritual power, freezing to death in this icy wasteland or perishing at the hands of spirit beasts.
Zeng Yi, being relatively kind-hearted, would lend a helping hand to those in distress that he encountered.
Of course, arriving in an unfamiliar place, Zeng Yi also wanted to ask for directions.
"Calm down! Big sister, calm down!" Seeing the silver knight still trying to launch an attack, Zeng Yi immediately put down his longsword and raised his hands in a surrendering gesture.
From the furious shout just then, Zeng Yi could tell that the silver knight, completely encased in armor, was a woman.
"I'm just a traveler lost in this place! I came here following the commotion and wanted to ask for directions from you, there is no malicious intent towards you!" Zeng Yi quickly organized his thoughts and expressed his intentions.
"Not an enemy?" Zhang Ruonan was momentarily stunned. Underneath her helmet, she carefully observed the man in front of her who was now surrendering.
Looking at the man's attire, he was different from the betrayers who were chasing them, and he didn't emit any killing intent.
Moreover, from the man's gaze, she could tell that he wasn't lying.
Not an enemy, the nervousness in Zhang Ruonan's heart eased a little.
But what difference did it make? The ultimate outcome couldn't be changed.
"Sorry." she said apologetically and sheathed her sword, walking in front of Princess Luo Xue and removing her helmet.
Underneath the helmet was a beautiful face with clean-cut short hair, radiating a sense of heroism between her brows.
Watching her dreary and sorrowful figure in the cold wind, Zeng Yi couldn't help but speak up.
"Um..."
But before Zeng Yi could finish speaking, she interrupted, "You should leave this place quickly! If it's too late, even you might be in danger."
Her words caught Zeng Yi off guard.
Their current situation should be very dangerous. From her words combined with their injuries and their expressions of despair, Zeng Yi guessed that they were being chased.
But in such a perilous situation, they were still concerned about the safety of a stranger like himself. This made Zeng Yi develop a favorable impression towards this group of spirit masters.
Therefore, Zeng Yi wanted to help them. He remained nearby, hiding and observing the situation.
If the people chasing them didn't find this place, then Zeng Yi could save himself the trouble. The warm fur and food he left behind would be enough for them to survive this cold stormy night.
Spirit masters had better physical conditions in comparison, after all.
If the people chasing them arrived, and Zeng Yi felt he could handle it, he would lend a hand.
But if the opponents were too strong, Zeng Yi could only express his inability to help.
After all, he was just being kind-hearted, not a completely selfless good person.
