The Battle Of Swords

The battle raged on below. Bai Xianyu, her usual grace faltering with exhaustion, parried a flurry of attacks from two black-clad figures. Sweat dripped down her forehead, a thin line of blood trickling down her cheek from a recent wound.

Beside her, Bai Xue, looked trapped. Her movements had become erratic, a hint of panic in her eyes. She narrowly dodged a blow that would have severed her arm, a grunt escaping her lips.

Just then, a figure emerged from the undergrowth behind the attackers. Chujiu, her face obscured by the mask, moved with a deadly grace. Her sword, glinting in the sunlight, flashed out in a blur. With a swift movement, she disarmed one attacker, the blade clattering to the ground.

Startled by the unexpected attack, the second attacker turned just in time to meet Ye Simming's blade across his chest. The figure crumpled to the forest floor, his masked face etched with surprise.

The remaining eight black-clad figures spun around, their movements filled with renewed purpose. 

Chujiu fought with a controlled fury, her every move a whirlwind of deadly precision. Each swing of her sword seemed to anticipate the enemy's moves, deflecting blows and landing counterattacks with lightning speed.

Ye Simming, his eyes narrowed, mirrored her movements. His sword sang a deadly song, each thrust and parry calculated and efficient.

Bai Xue and Bai Xianyu, momentarily stunned by the unexpected help, watched in awe as the attackers fell one by one. A surge of adrenaline coursed through Bai Xianyu's veins. With an angry roar, she parried her opponent's attack and launched a powerful counteroffensive, her blade flashing like silver.

Bai Xue, seeing her sister's renewed vigour, let out a war cry of her own. Remembering her signature agility, she started weaving through the remaining attackers. Her sword, a blur of motion, disarmed two attackers in quick succession, sending them sprawling.

The remaining three black-clad figures, fear replacing their initial confidence, tried to regroup. But they were surrounded, their attacks falling apart under the relentless pressure of the four skilled fighters.

The final clash echoed through the clearing as Chujiu's blade met an attacker's in a shower of sparks. With a final, decisive move, she disarmed him, sending his sword clattering away. The last attacker, seeing his comrades defeated, turned and fled into the forest but met with Ye Simming's sword and laid dead.

All four of them sat on the ground and trying to take some breath but before that, Ye Simming signalled Chujiu that someone is coming. 

Without wasting anytime, Chujiu pulled out the flying machine and dragged the stunned girls into the machine and Ye Simming followed immediately. The Stealth mode is on.

Thanks to Ye Simming's extra ordinary senses, they had enough time to escape in to the flying tool and hide.

After a while a group of black clothed people came to the place where they were before.

The group saw that no one is around and left moving forward searching for the girls.

Bai Xue couldn't help but say, "who are these people? Why are they after us?"

Ye Simming and Chujiu removed their masks and cloaks. Bai Xue and Bai Xinyu were stunned for a while looking at their two saviours. Then they thanked both of them for helping them out.

Bai Xue and Bai Xinyu seemed to know Chujiu which surprised her.

"How do you know me?"

Bai Xue smiled and said, "Little girl, did you forget the drama you created yesterday. Not just we, but all those who present there will never be able to forget you." 

Chujiu smirked and said, "A no matter how low key I maintain, I am still getting famous, what can I do! the tallest tree catches the most wind....".

Bai Xue laughed hard and patted Chujiu's head saying, "You are cute."

Ye Simming asked, "where are your other team members?"

Bai Xue and Bai Xinyu looked at each and told them what happened.

The Bai family found a cave and decided to station there at night. 

The boys in the team asked the two girls to clean the cave and make dinner arrangements while they will go hunting for prey. Its almost been an hour and none of them came back. So the two girls who completed their work went to search for the boys. After walking for about 10 minutes, they found a water stream and the side all the boys are found unconscious. 

The girls both ran and found that the boys have no wounds on their bodies while their pulses are also normal. They both quickly brought them to the cave. After that want to find what happened and walked back to the stream where they encountered black clothed assassins.

Chujiu said, "then let us go to the cave first."

The flying machine took off to the cave and all four of them got down after a couple of minutes. The girls have opened an array and lead Ye Simming and Chujiu inside the cave. The unconscious boys are still lying there on the ground.

Chujiu made a quick decision, "first let us take them all out of here and send them to our camp."

Quickly the flying machine is loaded with unconscious boys pilled one of the other as there is limited space in the stealth mode. 

Chujiu said, "Stay here in the array. I will send these people to the camp and come to pick you up."

There is no space left, so had to make two trips. 

Soon Chujiu landed in the Ye camp and explained the situation. Ye brothers brought all the boys out and Chujiu left for the second trip.

Soon she brought the remaining three people to the Ye Camp.

Chujiu, the gossip queen observed Bai Xinyu. From the beginning, she is quite and did not speak a word. Bai Xue is the one who is doing all the talk. 

When Ye Yuan saw the girls first he checked whether Bai Xue is fine or not. After seeing some injuries on her, he quickly took her to an isolated place to apply medicine. 

Bai Xinyu on the other hand sat aside under a tree and stared in to the darkness as if thinking something.

Chujiu came near her and sat beside her, "What are you looking at?"

Bai Xinyu turned her head towards Chujiu and said, "nothing"

"You are doing all this for Bai Xue right?
