Chapter 374: Could This Be Another Hybrid World?

After reporting the safety of The Women and outlining his next plan, Yu Xian left the Small World once more, returning to the Inn.

However, as soon as he returned, he heard sounds of fighting.

Hmm? Are people from the Dark River here again? They wouldn’t be that reckless, would they?

Yu Xian immediately investigated and couldn’t help but be surprised, because outside the Inn, the ones fighting Li Hanyi were two youths, one dressed in black and one in white.

One was refined and scholarly, the other had frost on his face; one used sharp palm techniques, the other possessed formidable leg skills.

They were actually forcing Li Hanyi to struggle, showing faint signs of defeat.

What’s going on? Are there these two people in *Shaonian Gexing*? Why doesn’t he know them?

Palm? Leg? This combination feels somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t recall if he saw them in a TV show or read about them in a book.

But regardless of who the opponents were, Li Hanyi was about to lose!

Yu Xian instantly flashed to Li Hanyi’s side, unleashing a Xiaoyao Divine Palm.

Upon colliding with the palm print of one youth, a powerful wave immediately erupted.

That youth was instantly blasted flying backward, falling to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing his companion injured, the youth who used his legs did not linger in the fight; he made a swift decision, rushed to his side, scooped him up, and fled without any hesitation.

Ah, this… they just left like that?

They should at least tell me who they are!

Forget it, next time I meet them, I won’t let them run. This time I truly had no preparation.

Those two were too decisive, tsk tsk.

“How are you?” Yu Xian quickly asked Li Hanyi beside him with concern.

Li Hanyi is a Sword Immortal, so why is she still getting beaten?

It seems I still need to improve Li Hanyi’s cultivation in the future. Although her cultivation in the Xiaoyao Heavenly Realm isn’t low, it’s not considered very high either.

Hearing this, Li Hanyi shook her head: “I’m fine, thank you for saving me again.”

Individually, she was confident she could defeat either of them, but their coordination when fighting together was too synchronized, making it hard for her to cope.

Furthermore, if it weren’t for the Great Returning Pill Yu Xian gave her, which enhanced her power, she wouldn’t have been able to hold on until Yu Xian returned.

How long had she known Yu Xian? Yet she already owed him so much. How could she repay him? Should she really offer herself in marriage?

“I apologize, I had to leave for a moment. I didn’t expect you to run into such powerful enemies,” Yu Xian said with some self-reproach.

“It’s not your fault, it’s just that my own skills are insufficient,” Li Hanyi replied softly.

Yu Xian looked at Li Hanyi with a gentle gaze. “Those two have peculiar Cultivation Techniques and work together seamlessly. It’s normal for you to be temporarily outmatched. However, with me here, I will certainly not let you fall into such danger again.”

Li Hanyi lowered her head slightly, feeling complex emotions, unsure how to respond to Yu Xian’s straightforward care.

“By the way, do you know their identities? And why did they attack you?” Yu Xian asked.

He remembered there weren’t two such figures in *Shaonian Gexing*. How could these two suddenly appear?

He could understand the Tang Sect and Dark River colluding to deal with Li Hanyi, but who were these two? Why attack Li Hanyi?

“If I’m not mistaken, those two should be the Wind and Cloud Hall Masters from the Under Heaven Society,” Li Hanyi said, her eyes turning cold.

“What? Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun?” Yu Xian was greatly shocked.

Under Heaven Society? Wind and Cloud? What the heck is going on? Why are Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun here? Isn’t this the world of *Shaonian Gexing*?

If Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng are here, does that mean Xiong Ba is here too? Damn it!

Could this be another hybrid world? With Li Hanyi, Wind and Cloud, and Xiong Ba…

Yu Xian was uncertain what other people he might encounter next. Could this be yet another Comprehensive Martial World? Except, this one seems to be a High Martial World.

No wonder one used his legs and the other used his palms—that must be the Cloud Dispelling Palm and the Wind God Leg!

“What’s wrong? Are you afraid of the Under Heaven Society?” Seeing Yu Xian’s shocked expression, Li Hanyi couldn’t help but frown slightly.

If Yu Xian was afraid of the Under Heaven Society, she could take the opportunity to tell Yu Xian to leave; her Xueyue City was not afraid of the Under Heaven Society!

“Hmm? Afraid? Would I be afraid of Xiong Ba? I’m just shocked why they would appear here,” Yu Xian said.

Fear didn’t exist; hadn’t he just sent Bu Jingyun flying with one palm?

He just couldn’t figure out why they were here, why they attacked Li Hanyi, and where the storyline of Wind and Cloud had progressed to.

“They are probably also targeting the Lei Family Fortress. But, speaking of which, didn’t you say there were few things in the world you didn’t know about?” Li Hanyi raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly teasing Yu Xian.

…

Face slapped!

What kind of nonsense is this about Wind and Cloud suddenly appearing!

“Cough, cough!” Yu Xian coughed twice to cover his embarrassment.

“Hehe…” Li Hanyi couldn’t help but laugh when she saw his awkward state.

Yu Xian was momentarily captivated by the sight. “You should smile more often. You look truly beautiful when you smile.”

Only then did Li Hanyi realize she had actually laughed, and a blush immediately rose on her face.

She quickly composed herself, coughed lightly, and changed the subject: “So, what do we do next?”

“We’ll wait and see for now. We still don’t know if the Tang Sect, Dark River, and Under Heaven Society have colluded to attack the Lei Family Fortress,” Yu Xian said after thinking for a moment.

Li Hanyi nodded upon hearing this.

Yu Xian stepped forward, pulled Li Hanyi into his embrace again, flashed once, and returned to the room in the Inn.

Before Li Hanyi could react, Yu Xian had already let go of her.

“You should meditate first to recover your strength. I’ll stand guard for you.”

Li Hanyi nodded, sat down cross-legged on the bed, and began to regulate her breathing.

Yu Xian stood guard quietly beside her, his gaze occasionally falling upon Li Hanyi.

After a long while, Li Hanyi recovered, opened her eyes, and met Yu Xian’s gaze, her face turning red again.

She coughed lightly, averted her gaze, and said, “I’m fine now. Should we go out and look around? Perhaps we’ll find something.”

Yu Xian nodded, and the two walked out of the room together.

Outside the Inn, the streets were still bustling with people, appearing calm, but Yu Xian sensed a trace of unusual aura.

Many people were hidden secretly, but none had made any rash moves; they were likely just monitoring them.

Yu Xian couldn’t be bothered to pay attention.

“The storm is coming,” Li Hanyi suddenly sighed.

“Don’t worry, I will shield you from the wind and rain,” Yu Xian looked at Li Hanyi with burning eyes.

Li Hanyi seemed accustomed to Yu Xian saying things that made her heart race and blush, so she lightly pursed her lips, avoiding his intense gaze.

“Young Master Yu, let’s first think about how to deal with the coming situation.”

Seeing Li Hanyi’s demeanor, Yu Xian secretly smiled but stopped teasing her, composing his expression.

“Actually, I don’t really like thinking things through; I just deal with problems as they arise—soldiers come, water covers them.”

Matters requiring deep thought were usually left to The Women in his family. He would fight one person who came, fight two people as a pair, and if he could use his fists, he would never waste time talking.
