He kicked one of the bloodthirsty thugs off his feet.
Then he flicked his sword upward.
One of the thug's shoes flew up, spun through the air, and hurtled toward Mu Yingying's still-yapping mouth.
A direct hit.
Xiao Qinghe: "..."
Right.
Miss Mu was definitely Yan Yunhe's future wife. No doubt about it.
Hadn't Mu Yingying married Yan Yunhe toward the end of the original novel?
With violent tendencies like that, Wen Changgeng deserved to be single. No wonder he got dumped!
"Mmph! Urgh..." Mu Yingying's face turned green.
As the most pampered junior sister in Heartless Valley, when had she ever suffered such humiliation?
Furious, she cursed, "Wen Changgeng, you bastard! I don't want you anymore! I want Yan Yunhe!"

Treating a wife who practically threw herself at him like that? He was destined to stay single!
Just then, a thug surged up in fury, brimming with murderous intent, and swung his sword at Wen Changgeng's back.
"Wen Changgeng, watch out!" Xiao Qinghe shouted, raising his sword to rush forward.
Wen Changgeng's expression shifted slightly. By the time he turned to defend himself, it was already too late.
At that critical moment, a cold glint shot through the air.
The thug froze with his sword raised overhead. Then the weapon slipped from his hand, and his body crashed to the ground.
Only a red line remained across his neck, nearly severing it, with blood pouring out.
A familiar killing move.
Swift and
