Chapter 10 — As soon as I got married as a stepchild, the child hugged my leg and called me his wife
Even more unexpected, his skills were this high. Pho Dinh Uyen did not say a word. The long sword in his hand was like a dragon. In the blink of an eye, he was fighting with that man in black. Sword light flashed, blade shadows overlapped. Two people in a small forest launched a fierce killing battle. I tried to stand on tiptoe under the trap and stared at Pho Can, the pain from my leg transmitted to my brain. Pho Can was so frightened by the sudden event that he stood frozen in place. He looked bewildered as Pho Dinh Uyen and the men in black fought and killed. I took advantage of the black-clothed man being caught up and had difficulty climbing out of the trap. The intense pain in my legs almost made me faint. I gritted my teeth and endured, step by step crawling to Pho Can's side, hugging him tightly.
"Don't be afraid, your father will protect us." I gently reassured.
Pho Can's small hand tightly grasped the hem of my shirt. He buried his head in my arms, his body constantly trembling. Pho Dinh Uyen's swordsmanship is extremely sharp. Although the black-clothed man had good skills, in front of him, he gradually appeared weak. Very quickly, he fell into a tailspin and retreated step by step. But right at the moment Pho Dinh Uyen was about to gain the upper hand. Suddenly, another dark shadow rushed out from deep in the forest. He held a soft sword and stabbed straight into Pho Dinh Uyen's back!
"Careful!" I couldn't help but scream.
Pho Dinh Uyen heard the sound and reacted very quickly. He turned around, the long sword in his hand swung upward, blocking the soft sword's attack. The two swords collided, emitting a crisp "ding" sound. Sparks scattered. In the blink of an eye, Pho Dinh Uyen fell into a one-on-two situation. The two men in black clearly cooperated very well. One guy used a long sword, his attack expanded, approaching from the front. The remaining guy used a soft sword, a dangerous move, continuously attacking from the side and behind. Pho Dinh Uyen's pressure immediately skyrocketed. He was forced to block his left and right, gradually falling into a passive position. I saw a wound on his arm with a soft sword. The blood stains on the black clothes made it even more dazzling.
“Mother…” Pho Can raised her head, her small face was full of tears, “did father lose?”
"Are not!" I said decisively, "Your father is very strong, he will definitely win!"
But in my heart, I can't help but worry. No matter how strong Pho Dinh Uyen is, he is just a body of flesh and blood. If it goes on like this, sooner or later he will be exhausted. Furthermore, in this small forest, there seemed to be other movements. We heard extremely small sounds, like there were more people coming this way. The power of "Thien Diep" is stronger than we thought. There are more of them than we thought. We must do something! I bowed my head and looked at my feet. The pain was so severe that I couldn't stand up. But we can't sit around waiting to die. I saw not far away, the man in black who was knocked out by Pho Dinh Uyen was lying there. His long sword is still at his side. I dragged my injured leg and crawled forward with difficulty. Every time I move, it's like stepping on a blade. But because of Pho Can, we cannot stop. Finally, I crawled to the side of that man in black. I picked up the long sword next to him. The blade's body is cold and heavy. I tremblingly raised my knife, my eyes locked on Pho Dinh Uyen's battle. I don't know martial arts. But we know how to do it create chaos. How can I give him a chance to breathe? Just as a man in black was about to use his soft sword to sneak attack again. I suddenly raised my sword high, used all my strength, and threw it fiercely at his back!
“Die!” I roared.
The man in black heard the movement behind him and his body instinctively tilted to one side. He completely avoided it. The blade flew wildly past his shoulder, although it did not pose any danger, but it did distract him. His attack was interrupted. Pho Dinh Uyen took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The long sword in his hand stabbed out like lightning.
“Poof” sound.
The tip of the sword pierced straight through the black-clothed man's chest. The man in black widened his eyes, looked at Pho Dinh Uyen in disbelief, then weakly fell down. Solve a name! The remaining guy saw his accomplice's tragic death, panic flashed through his eyes. He no longer had the will to continue fighting, so he turned and ran away. But Pho Dinh Uyen did not give him a chance. The long sword stabbed out again. Cold light flashed. The man in black hugged his neck, made a "crack" sound, and also fell to the ground. Two men in black, all dead! I fell limply to the ground. Pho Can rushed forward and hugged me tightly.
“Niang, are you okay?” he asked chokingly.
“I'm okay, I'm okay.” I stroked his back, softly reassuring him.
Pho Dinh Uyen took back his sword. His face was a little pale, and the wound on his hand continued to bleed. But his eyes were filled with dignity.
“They are not all.” he said in a low voice.
“There are more people.”
As soon as his words ended.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Several arrows with a sharp wind-cutting sound shot out from the darkness. The target is directly aimed at Pho Dinh Uyen and me!
