Chapter 254: Life and Death Breakthrough: Confrontation between Protection and Assassination
After Liu Ruyan left, Lin Wanqiu devoted herself to the task of taking care of Li Tian.
She carefully wiped the cold sweat from Li Tian's forehead and gently tucked the quilt around him, her eyes full of concern and tenderness.
Time passed minute by minute, and Li Tian was still unconscious.
Lin Wanqiu stayed by the bed the whole time, not daring to slack off for the slightest.
Suddenly, Li Tian frowned slightly and let out a painful groan.
Lin Wanqiu's heart tightened, and she quickly held his hand and comforted him softly:
"Li Tian, I'm here, don't be afraid."
Just then, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door.
Lin Wanqiu stood up vigilantly, her hand on the hilt of the sword, her eyes fixed on the door.
With a creak, the door was pushed open, and a palace maid ran in in a panic:
"Commander Lin, this is bad! The spies from Prince Yu's Mansion are frequently spotted near the Imperial Palace. It seems like there is some conspiracy going on!"
Lin Wanqiu's face changed, and she thought to herself:
"It seems that Li Tian's injury is related to this Prince Yu. He wants to take advantage of Your Majesty's absence to harm Lord Li Tian."
She made a quick decision and said to the maid:
"You must immediately summon the palace guards and strengthen the security around the bedroom. No one is allowed to enter without my permission!"
After receiving the order, the palace maid hurried out.
Lin Wanqiu returned to Li Tian's bedside again, looking at his haggard appearance, and secretly vowed in her heart:
"I won't let anyone hurt you no matter what."
Lin Wanqiu stayed by Li Tian's bed. She was worried about the situation outside, but at this moment she was more worried about the unconscious Li Tian.
She held Li Tian's hand gently, trying to pass on her strength and warmth to him.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Tian's body suddenly began to tremble violently, and painful mutterings continued to escape from his mouth.
Lin Wanqiu was extremely anxious but didn't know what to do. She could only hug him tightly and comfort him softly.
In this panic, Li Tian seemed to feel Lin Wanqiu's presence.
He subconsciously hugged Lin Wanqiu tightly, and his hot breath sprayed on Lin Wanqiu's neck.
Lin Wanqiu's face turned red instantly, and her heart was filled with panic and shyness.
However, looking at Li Tian who was struggling in pain.
She gritted her teeth and chose to endure it all silently, hoping to give Li Tian some comfort.
In a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, Li Tian seemed to have mistaken Lin Wanqiu for Liu Ruyan.
His movements became more and more urgent, and he called out to Ruyan incoherently.
Lin Wanqiu felt a sharp pain in her heart, but she felt more distressed for Li Tian.
She knew that Li Tian was unconscious at the moment and was just seeking support in pain.
As time went by, the distance between the two people became closer and closer, and the atmosphere became ambiguous and complicated.
Lin Wanqiu's mind told her that she should push Li Tian away, but emotionally she couldn't bear to reject his dependence at this moment.
In the end, with complex emotions intertwined, the two spent a special night.
The next morning, sunlight shone through the window onto the bed.
Lin Wanqiu slowly opened her eyes and looked at Li Tian who was sleeping beside her. A complex expression appeared on her face, including shyness, guilt, and a hint of unspeakable sweetness.
She stood up gently and straightened her clothes.
Lin Wanqiu looked at Li Tian's haggard but still handsome face, and secretly vowed in her heart that she would protect Li Tian no matter what.
Li Tian was still in a coma and had no memory of what happened last night.
But the gears of fate have already turned, and this unexpected episode will bring unexpected changes to the relationship between the three.
At this moment, the system prompt sounded in Li Tian's unconscious mind:
[Congratulations to the host, your relationship with Lin Wanqiu has warmed up, and I will reward the host with the early stage of Golden Immortal cultivation. ]
Although Li Tian was unconscious, the system prompt sound was echoing in his mind.
A powerful force quietly surged within his body.
This force was like an awakened beast, constantly attacking his original meridian barriers.
Lin Wanqiu was cleaning up the mess from last night when she suddenly noticed that Li Tian's aura had undergone a drastic change.
Li Tian's body was seen floating slightly, with a golden halo surrounding him. The halo became brighter and brighter, hurting people's eyes.
"What...what's going on?"
Lin Wanqiu looked at the scene in shock, feeling worried and confused.
She subconsciously drew her sword and looked around vigilantly, fearing that any danger might take advantage of the opportunity.
As the power continued to gather, Li Tian's body began to tremble slightly.
His forehead was covered with sweat and he seemed to be in great pain.
Seeing this, Lin Wanqiu was extremely anxious, but she didn't dare to approach rashly and could only stand by and worry.
At this time, outside the palace, Prince Yu received a secret report from his subordinates.
He learned that Li Tian's aura had changed suddenly, and he seemed to be experiencing some kind of breakthrough.
Prince Yu's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
He threw the teacup in his hand to the ground fiercely and shouted angrily:
“This Li Tian actually broke through at this time! We must not let him succeed, otherwise my plan will be ruined!”
Prince Yu planned to send Ye Xiao and Shuang Ying, both at the peak of the celestial realm, to lead a hundred earthly immortal warriors to sneak into the palace, interrupt Li Tian's breakthrough, and assassinate him.
Night Owl and Frost Shadow, along with a hundred earthly immortal warriors, quietly sneaked into the palace like ghosts in the dark night.
They concealed their breath, disappeared into the dark corner in a flash, and approached the bedroom where Li Tian was.
At the same time, Lin Wanqiu held the sword tightly, not daring to take her eyes off Li Tian who was floating in the air.
She could feel that Li Tian's breakthrough had reached the most critical moment. Any interference might lead to failure or even endanger his life.
Suddenly, Lin Wanqiu keenly sensed that a vague malicious intent was approaching rapidly.
She felt a chill in her heart, knowing that danger was approaching.
"No matter who you are, don't even think about hurting Li Tian today!"
She whispered softly, her voice was soft but full of determination.
Lin Wanqiu quickly came to the door of the bedroom and injected spiritual power into the sword. The sword body suddenly flashed blue light, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
"Come out, now that you're here, don't hide!"
She shouted loudly, her voice echoing in the silent palace.
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of earthly immortal warriors appeared in an instant and surrounded the bedroom.
They were dressed in black and had black cloth covering their faces, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
Behind them, Night Owl and Frost Shadow walked out slowly.
The one on the left is called Night Owl. He has his hands behind his back, exuding a strong pressure, and sneered:
"Lin Wanqiu, although you are also a peak celestial being, you are alone. Do you think you can stop us? Just surrender and maybe you can save your life."
The fairy on the right is named Shuangying. She had a mocking smile on her face, her arms folded across her chest, and said nothing.
Lin Wanqiu snorted coldly:
"How dare you act so recklessly in the palace!"
After saying that, she took the lead in launching an attack, performing the "Cold Moon Fantasy Sword Technique", and the blue sword energy shot towards the enemy like cold moonlight.
The earthly immortal warriors raised their weapons to resist. For a moment, sword shadows crossed and sparks flew.
In the fierce battle, Lin Wanqiu gradually felt exhausted.
