After the mechanism was switched off, the arrow stopped firing. Seeing the perfect opportunity, Mu Sheng flew out with his arm around Xue Ruoyun's waist, stopping at a safe location.

"Prince, are you alright?" The deputy general hurriedly surrounded them, feeling extremely concerned.

"Are you okay?" Mu Sheng placed Xue Ruyun in his embrace back down and steadied himself. Ignoring his injuries, he anxiously asked Xue Ruoyun with eyes filled with pity.

"I'm fine." Xue Ruyun shook his head. "What about you? You're injured!" Xue Ruyun cried out in alarm. Looking at the countless arrows and wounds on Mu Ying's body, his heart ached. He hurriedly used his hand to press down the blood that was still flowing out from the wounds on Mu Ying's body.

"Why is there so much blood? Ah, there's even a wound, are you alright? How are you going to stop the bleeding? Is the military doctor here? Come quickly..."

Mu Ying looked at Xue Luoyun's anxious and flustered appearance, and felt her heart heat up. She suddenly pulled her into her embrace, tightly hugged her, and whispered in her ear, "I'm fine …"

Xue Ruyun was caught off guard by her hug, but she didn't struggle.

She felt his strong heartbeat, the breath of his voice, the warmth of his body. Xue Luoyun suddenly quieted down. The heart that had been hanging in the air before finally settled down.

She let Mu Ying hug her tightly like this and gently leaned against his shoulder.

Seeing them acting this way from afar, Wei Duohong had already guessed the identity of this person.

It seemed like the person who could make Xue Luoyun act without hesitation and ignore his life to go rescue him, the person who was obediently allowing him to carry him right now, was undoubtedly the person Xue Luoyun often mentioned.

Xue Ruyun even said that she was just a friend, but seeing the worry on her face just now, it seemed that she didn't even want her life. She clearly had fallen in love with Mu Ying, but she didn't know it.

Seeing Mu Ying unable to protect himself within the fire and also desperately trying to protect Xue Ruoyun in his arms, it was likely that they were in mutual love. Wei Duhong suddenly envied Xue Ruyun, didn't know when, he could also have such a love.

On the other side, Wei Duohong was still full of envy. On the nearby pirate island, the people on the island didn't understand what was going on and were filled with righteous indignation.

"Not good, Miss Xue has been captured by them!"

"This bastard is extremely audacious. He actually dares to molest our future chief's wife. This is intolerable!" The pirates already knew in their hearts that Xue Ruyun was their chief's wife. At this moment, they naturally couldn't tolerate Mu Ying making such intimate gestures towards Xue Muyun.

"What are you saying? Miss Xue is one of the great warriors of our island. Now that she's been threatened, everyone, go save her!" Although they were severely injured, the pirates were still indignant, awaiting the order from Wei Duohong.

"Your Majesty, please give the order." Everyone shouted a few times, but Wei Duohong was still unmoved. He was only looking at Xue Luoyun and the others from afar.

Seeing that Wei Duhong still hadn't given the order yet, the anxious Meng Meng couldn't wait any longer. He shouted at Mu Ying and the others, "Scoundrel, quickly let go of our chief's wife!"

Mu Ying tightly embraced Xue Ruyun for a long time. He turned all of his longing from this period of time into strength and gently caressed Xue Ruoyun's back.

Hearing Meng Meng Meng's clamor, Mu Sheng's expression was cold, his eyes cold. The words "City Lord Madam" was a taboo in his heart. In this period of time, he had been forcefully suppressing the urge to think about this matter, lest his heart go mad. Now that they were on Pirates' Island, they were finally going to vent their anger.

He forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and lightly released Xue Ruyun. He held her arms with both of his hands and looked at her deeply. He gently said to her, "You've suffered a lot during this period of time. Wait for me. I'll go and take revenge for you right now!"

"Hey, where are you going?" Before Xue Ruyun could react to the meaning behind those words, Mu Sheng had already left.

He walked a few steps away from Xue Ruyun, picked up his treasured sword, and swung it at Meng Meng Meng's chest. Meng Meng Meng's reaction was quite fast. Seeing the sword flying towards him, he hastily used his broadsword to block. However, the sword qi was too powerful. Meng Meng Meng couldn't stop himself. He slid back seven to eight meters before he could stabilize himself.

He gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. Afterwards, he used all his strength to block and bought himself time. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he immediately dodged to the side, saving his life. Mu Sheng's treasured sword continued to fly forward, chopping at a huge boulder, which was instantly smashed into smithereens. The treasured sword was not damaged in the slightest and was reflected back. Mu Ying raised his hand and easily caught the treasured sword.

Everyone present was shocked by this huge sword qi. It could be seen that Mu Ying's inner strength was very deep, and no one could compete with him.

When Meng Meng saw the shattered boulder, he was dumbstruck. If he had let down his guard just now, he would have been the one to be blown to smithereens.

Without waiting for them to react, Mu Ying had already jumped in front of Meng Meng Meng with his sword in hand.

He raised his treasured sword, his face grim as he slashed it toward Meng Meng Meng. Meng Meng Meng hurried to meet it head on. However, how could he be Mu Ying's match? He had barely fought for a few rounds, and yet he had been forced to retreat step by step. His body was severely injured, and his life was hanging by a thread.

"Stop! "Stop fighting!" Xue Ruoyun shouted.

However, how could Mu Ying have heard her words? He didn't even bat an eyelid as his expression didn't change. Each and every move of his was fatal. At this moment, seeing that Meng Meng Meng had a fatal flaw, Mu Sheng was about to take his life.

Xue Luoyun wanted to step forward and help, but Wei Duohong had already used a folding fan to block Mu Ying's sword.

Thinking about it, it was also strange. This folding fan of Wei Duhong's looked as thin as a cicada's wing. Xue Ruoyun had thought that it was only an ordinary folding fan, but he hadn't expected it to be so powerful. When Xue Ruyun focused his eyes, he realized that this was no piece of paper. It was clearly a rare piece of Diamond Jade. It was also what diamonds were like today.

"Hurry up!" Wei Duhong shouted to Meng Meng Meng who was beneath him.

"But you. "Puff …" Meng Meng Meng spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Cut the crap..." Wei Duohong had a solemn expression on his face.

"Yes, King Xie, take care." After saying that, Meng Meng Meng ran back while clutching his chest.

"Your Majesty?" Hearing Meng Meng Meng's address, Mu Ying turned to look at Wei Duhong. He had sharp angles, lacquered eyes, and was extraordinarily valiant. He had a very refined demeanor, completely different from those crude pirates.

Mu Ying doubted his own ears. Had he misheard something? This was the pirate leader of the unified island, whose fame had spread far and wide, making people tremble in fear.

If such a person pursued Xue Ruyun, it was unavoidable that she wouldn't be tempted. Thinking up to here, Mu Ying was extremely jealous and angry to the extreme.

Wei Duhong sized up Mu Ying. He held a long sword in his hand with majestic might. His clothes fluttered in the wind. Although his expression was gloomy and gloomy, it couldn't cover up his elegant appearance. He was mesmerized by the beauty of tens of thousands of young girls.

Long ago, he had heard of Mu Sheng, the famous Great General of the Western Lion Country.

It was said that he held the military power, and his heart was that of a country's people. He fought on the battlefield all year round, and he was invincible. He protected the peace of the people. However, he was indifferent to fame and fortune and kept a low profile. Wei Duohong had admired her for a long time, and in his heart, he wanted to become such a great general.

"You're the pirate leader here?" Mu Sheng's thin lips slightly moved. His voice was deep and deep, full of magnetism.

"Exactly." Wei Duohong retracted his folding fan and leisurely shook it twice.

"Alright, what I want today is your life!" Confirming that this person was the legendary pirate leader who could easily intimidate Xue Ruyun, a strong killing intent arose in Mu Ying's eyes. He brandished his sword and charged towards Wei Duohong.

Wei Duohong also had no fear. He had long wanted to have a go at this long-famous general. He then opened his fan and flew up into the sky.

The two of them fought back and forth, and for a time, both of them shook the earth and surged through the clouds.

Only now did Xue Ruyun know of Wei Duhong's skills. He didn't expect her martial skills to be so high even though she was a woman. Even a top expert like Mu Ying would find it extremely difficult to deal with her.

However, it could be seen that Mu Sheng was not bad either. The two of them had fought for more than ten rounds and it was difficult to determine the victor.

"Stop, quickly stop!" Xue Luoyun continuously shouted from the side, wanting to stop them. However, neither of them had any intention of stopping.

Seeing that just shouting wasn't enough to stop them, and seeing that he couldn't care for his own safety, Xue Luoyun directly soared into the air, jumping right into the middle of them.

When everyone saw her like this, they all sucked in a breath of cold air. Any normal person would know that these two had strong inner strength and high cultivation bases. Right now, the two were fighting fiercely, and the air between them was filled with killing intent and was extremely dangerous.

If he went in now, he would easily be hurt.

The two of them were in the middle of a fierce battle. Seeing that Xue Ruoyun had barged in, Mu Ying's sword was so fierce that he almost sliced Xue Ruyun's hair. The two of them hurriedly retracted their hands in fright.

"Mu Ying, Wei Duohong, stop!" Xue Ruyun stood in the middle and separated them.

"What are you doing in here? Are you tired of living?" Mu Ying retracted his sword, as he was both worried and angry. He had nearly injured her just now.

At this moment, Wei Duohong finally had to take a deep breath. Although her martial arts were high, Mu Ying's moves were deadly and fierce. Although her cultivation was on par with Mu Sheng, she was still a girl after all. After a while, she still lost in terms of physical strength. If it wasn't for Xue Ruoyun stopping him in time, perhaps after a dozen more rounds, Wei Duohong would have lost her life to Mu Ying.

Xue Luoyun had also seen through this point. In order to prevent tragedy from occurring, he had risked his life to stop the two of them.

"How are you?" Seeing that Mu Ying was fine, Xue Ruoyun quickly went to take care of Wei Duohong.

"I'm fine." Wei Duohong waved his hand as he pressed down on his arm. A long wound had been inflicted on it by Mu Ying.

"Let me see." Xue Ruoyun knew in her heart that she was a woman with delicate skin and tender flesh. Mu Sheng's hands had always been heavy, so this wound was definitely extremely painful. She quickly took out some medicine and applied it on her.

Seeing them acting like this, fire rose from the bottom of his heart. He angrily stabbed his treasured sword into the ground, went up, and grabbed Xue Ruyun.

Xue Ruyun was dragged back by him, and only after walking for a while did he stop.

"What are you doing?" Mu Sheng questioned her with bloodshot eyes. His expression was as though he was about to devour someone.

Xue Ruyun rolled his eyes at him. "I want to treat his wounds, just don't cause trouble, okay?"

Xue Ruyun couldn't give him that much of an explanation at the moment, so he quickly ran off to check on Wei Duohong.
