At this moment, the situation above was utter chaos!

The two forces fought desperately to the death, with many already fallen.

Wen Che and Wen Yu had also joined the battle.

Each opponent was a master, every sword strike lethal!

Wen Yu had injuries to begin with, and after just two or three moves he could no longer withstand it. In a moment of inattention, someone viciously stabbed him in the arm with a sword.

His arm ached sharply. His palm loosened and the sword in his hand immediately dropped to the ground.

Following this, someone stabbed him in the arm again.

Blood spilled everywhere!

Wen Che, not far away, saw this and shouted loudly: “A’Yu!”

He was about to rush over but was entangled by a black-clad assassin!

Wen Che could only shout loudly: “Shu Tian!”

Hearing this, Shu Tian immediately broke free and rushed toward Wen Yu.

He forced back several surrounding black-clad assassins.

“Second Young Master!”

Wen Yu had no strength left to fight, his face deathly pale.

Wen Che shouted: “Take good care of A’Yu!”

“Yes!”

Shu Tian immediately helped Wen Yu up and took him toward the lower cabin!

But several black-clad assassins pursued them down.

The servants on the ship had long since hidden in their own cabins when encountering this kind of situation, not daring to even poke their heads out.

Fearing they’d meet disaster!

Supporting Wen Yu, Shu Tian knocked on several doors, but the people inside wouldn’t open them.

Meanwhile, those black-clad assassins had already caught up.

Shu Tian immediately pushed Wen Yu away: “Second Young Master, you must go quickly!”

Shu Tian was sworn to protect his master unto death.

He engaged those people in combat!

Wen Yu was injured and had no strength left. He could only lean against the ship’s wall as he fled forward.

But his vision was becoming increasingly blurred.

He couldn’t hold on much longer!

Inside the storage room, Ji Yunshu seemed to hear some commotion outside and said: “It sounds like someone’s outside?”

Luo Yang naturally heard it too and said: “Even if there is, we can’t go out.”

Xiao Ba nodded vigorously: “That’s right, Miss Ji. We absolutely can’t go out now. Going out means certain death. I don’t want to die yet.”

Exactly right!

At this moment, staying in the cabin was the safest option.

But—

“Bang bang bang!” Someone outside was pounding on the storage room door.

Xiao Ba jumped in fright, worrying: “Could it be… could they be coming to kill us?”

His body instinctively shrank backward.

They could hear someone outside calling out weakly: “Open… open the door!”

Xiao Ba was the first to recognize the voice. His eyes widened as he said: “It’s Wen Yu!”

Ji Yunshu frowned: “From his voice, it sounds like he’s injured?”

Luo Yang gritted his teeth: “That’s still not our concern.”

“What if he really…”

“Don’t be so kind-hearted. If we open the door, we’ll all die.”

“But we can’t just watch someone die without helping.”

As she spoke, Ji Yunshu moved to open the door.

Luo Yang blocked her, saying: “Don’t you want to live?”

“Just now you also risked your life to save me. Aren’t you always afraid of death too?”

“I…”

“If he really dies outside right now, can you feel at peace?”

The answer was no!

Luo Yang’s face was full of conflict, then—

He stamped his foot!

“Fine, we’ll open it. If we die, we’ll die together. When we get to the underworld, we can still gather around a table for drinks!” Luo Yang threw caution to the wind and opened the door.

As soon as the storage room door opened, Wen Yu’s heavy body crashed straight inside.

Fortunately, Luo Yang caught him.

Wen Yu was truly unlucky—his previous injuries hadn’t healed, and now he had new wounds.

One of his arms was already covered in fresh blood, his sleeve completely stained red.

When Luo Yang supported him, both hands were covered in blood. He was very worried: “You’re not going to die, are you? You absolutely can’t die! Hurry up and go back to fighting! If you die and those people kill us, what will we do?”

“…”

“Hey!”

“I…” Wen Yu opened his mouth but had no strength to speak.

His eyes were full of bloodshot veins, his vision increasingly blurred.

Ji Yunshu immediately crouched down to examine his injuries: “The wound is very deep. We must stop the bleeding immediately.”

Hearing her voice, Wen Yu struggled to open his eyes: “Miss Ji, it’s you…”

“You’d better not talk. I need to stop your bleeding right away, otherwise you’ll die from excessive blood loss.”

“Thank—” Before he could finish saying “you,” he fainted.

Luo Yang shook his body: “Don’t die!”

Ji Yunshu said: “Stop shaking him. If you keep shaking, he really will die.”

“…” Only then did Luo Yang stop shaking him.

Xiao Ba crouched by the storage room door, poking his head out to see Shu Tian alone fending off five black-clad assassins.

“Brother, they’re killing their way over here.”

Luo Yang immediately handed Wen Yu over to Ji Yunshu and ordered Xiao Ba: “Quick, go get the empty wine bottles!”

“Oh!”

Empty wine bottles?

Where would they have empty wine bottles here?

Just as Ji Yunshu was still puzzled, she saw Xiao Ba drag out a basket full of empty wine bottles from the corner of the storage room.

Presumably left behind on the ship previously!

“This young master is throwing caution to the wind! If we die, we’ll all die together.” Luo Yang then dragged the basket out with a limp.

Then he picked up wine bottles and threw them at those black-clad assassins!

While shouting: “Here, have a drink!”

Xiao Ba also joined the battle!

The two of them threw wine bottles one after another.

Shu Tian had already been struggling to hold on, but fortunately Luo Yang and Xiao Ba distracted those black-clad assassins with the wine bottles.

He was able to go on the offensive!

He killed two black-clad assassins on the spot.

Gradually gaining the upper hand!

Here, Ji Yunshu pressed down on Wen Yu’s wound, but blood kept flowing out.

She thought to herself: The ship should have tools for stopping bleeding!

She rummaged through Luo Yang’s storage room but didn’t find anything, so she had to search the adjacent storage rooms. But she had just stepped out—

The large ship seemed to be violently struck by something!

The hull tilted!

Ji Yunshu’s body therefore crashed straight toward the door opposite.

She actually crashed through that door.

Even more unexpected was that she collided with a coffin placed inside.

A coffin!

It was a coffin draped with black cloth.

This was… Prince Jing’an’s coffin.

How could it be here?

Just as she steadied herself, the ship was struck again.

The tilt became even more severe!

That coffin tipped completely to one side!

Causing the coffin lid to crash down.

Following this, the hull suddenly tilted in another direction!

Ji Yunshu’s entire body fell to the ground.

Even more unexpectedly, that coffin suddenly flipped onto its side.

The coffin opening faced downward!

It trapped her inside the coffin, directly facing Prince Jing’an’s remains.

Complete darkness surrounded her!

She couldn’t see anything but could feel Prince Jing’an’s corpse pressing on her body.

She had intended to push it away but worried about damaging Prince Jing’an’s remains, so she could only remain motionless, waiting for someone to come rescue her.

The coffin reeked with a nauseating, foul odor!

Ji Yunshu endured it with all her might, her hand knocking on the coffin wall, calling out: “Luo Yang, Luo Yang…”

Outside was probably in complete chaos too. After all, with such an impact, everyone should have been injured.

Suddenly—

A glimmer of light emerged from the dried corpse’s mouth.

A faint blue glow!

Hm?
