Chapter 470: Minor Injuries Don’t Stop The Fight
Seeing countless long swords about to stab herself, she had no choice but to fly into the air and retreat several steps in succession.
Dodging the sneak attack from the sword’s edge, accompanied by light footsteps, she took in all of the Black-Robed Man’s swordplay!
Holding the Sword of No Return, she gave it a gentle shake.
Fierce and cold sword light erupted!
It almost blinded the eyes of everyone present!
The next moment, her robes fluttered, her steps were small, yet in an instant, she arrived in front of a line of Black-Robed Men!
“The formation is good, but the timing is off!”
As soon as the words fell, the sword light danced faster and faster!
In a flash, she pierced through the enemy formation!
The red figure, as light and agile as a fledgling swallow, like a raging fire, gradually spread through the dark crowd!
Accompanied by the crisp sound of the vibrating sword body, she fiercely swung the long sword with her jade hand, gently rotating her wrist, and the long sword moved as swiftly as lightning!
Like a spirit snake slithering, stealthily and restrained, she weaved through the Black-Robed Men!
Wherever she went, blood splattered!
Fresh blood, red and still hot, like red plum blossoms blooming in the air, splattered wildly!
The Black Robe Assassins in the front row fell one after another, like dominoes!
Lying on the ground, they continued to twitch, their bodies covered in sword wounds, gushing with fresh blood, until a large pool of blood formed!
Their mouths were stained with blood!
In the center of the crowd stood the woman, sword in hand, her slightly disheveled hair carrying a hint of arrogance!
At this moment, a few rays of sunlight shone through the dimly lit alley and fell behind her, and a faint light gradually emanated!
She looked like a goddess descended from heaven, exuding a crisp, cold, and exceptionally fierce aura!
Hidden at the back, A Feng bit his lower lip, glaring indignantly at the woman in front of him, extremely unwilling!
Anger clouded his rationality!
Thus, he forgot Black Fox’s instructions and suddenly attacked, catching her off guard!
Yan Luoyue only saw a mass rolling on the ground, and before she could see clearly what it was, she was snagged by a hook that had instantly broken through the beam of light!
“Die!”
A Feng roared, attacking her with all his might!
Black Fox was shocked and instinctively reached out to stop him:
“A Feng!”
“No!”
Yan Luoyue’s pupils contracted, wanting to break free from the hook’s restraint, but for a moment, she didn’t know how to untangle it!
She cursed inwardly:
What is this thing!
The clothes became tighter and tighter, and the hook dug deeper and deeper, until it reached inside her sleeve!
A sharp pain shot from her right arm!
The sharp hook flew along her arm!
She could even hear the tearing sound of her skin being cut by the hook!
Yan Luoyue paused, glancing at the wound.
The slightly torn flesh had already turned slightly black!
…It’s okay, not too serious.
Turning her head, she decisively raised her sword, skillfully avoided the hook, and cut off the tattered sleeve!
Meanwhile, the short A Feng suddenly let out a sinister laugh, revealing teeth decayed by lethal poison, and continued his attack!
From somewhere, several more hooks emerged from his sleeve!
Like a troublesome spiderweb, they flew towards Yan Luoyue’s limbs one after another!
Yan Luoyue frowned, her movements like the wind.
Her toes lost their footing, her movement technique incredibly fast!
The Sword of No Return in her hand swung rapidly, transforming into countless afterimages, clashing with several hooks!
With a loud “clang”!
Black Fox knew it was bad!
In an instant, he stood in front of A Feng, who had retreated between them!
Amidst the indistinguishable afterimages, the true form of the Sword of No Return fiercely collided with the green sword in Black Fox’s hand!
A shockwave, like the wrath of thunder, sent everyone in the alley flying to the ground!
For a time, sounds of pain, wails, and curses rose one after another!
The successive beams of cold light that surged in made this area of Dark Traces Alley even more cold and deadly!
Each sword light accurately selected its target, persistently pursuing every Black Robe Assassin!
The Black Robe Assassins who were pursuing Yan Luoyue could not escape the rapid attacks at all!
In the end, some died, some were crippled, some fainted…
Not a single one could still move!
Black Fox’s hands trembled, and the body of his green sword also vibrated imperceptibly, emitting a muffled, small sound!
Light injuries were fine, but the internal injuries from the impact of the cold light left him physically and mentally exhausted, with unbearable dull pain!
“Yan Luoyue, I was careless this time!”
“We’ll see about this!”
Turning around, he pulled his black cloak over himself, and the two of them, in the blink of an eye, disappeared!
Standing still in the void, Yan Luoyue glanced sideways, ignoring Black Fox’s provocation.
After confirming that there was no longer any threat from anyone, Yan Luoyue frowned and suddenly clutched her chest, spitting out a mouthful of black blood!
“Damn it… I underestimated them!”
“That hook was poisoned!”
Yan Luoyue felt the lethal poison in her body, as if it were constantly circulating through her blood vessels. Helpless, she could only circulate her internal energy to try and expel the poison!
She gripped the artery in her wrist, and the nimble internal energy airflow swirled and leaped, encircling her entire arm!
Soon, a few drops of black and purplish poison were forced out of her body!
Yan Luoyue breathed a sigh of relief and took out a handkerchief to temporarily bandage her finger.
“Fortunately, the poison was expelled in time and did not harm the heart meridian!”
“But… I can’t use internal energy for the next few days!”
She sighed, a foolish mistake indeed!
She didn’t expect there to be a genius among them who could perform contortion!
She walked to a pile of corpses and kicked them one by one, but none reacted.
Only one Black Robed Man, on the verge of death, was still weakly lying on the ground, reaching out his hand, begging for mercy and his life!
“Tsk tsk, they’ve already abandoned you and run. What’s the point of being so persistent?”
Yan Luoyue squatted down, shaking her head at him annoyingly, the pity in her eyes causing the Black Robe Assassin’s blood to surge, his nostrils flaring as he held onto his last breath!
Sigh, he just won’t die!
She almost admired the man, he could really hold on!
Yan Luoyue flipped her wrist, and the sword edge drew a beautiful arc in the air!
“Crack!”
She severed the Black Robe Assassin’s neck!
“If you don’t want to die, then I’ll kindly send you on your way!”
A drizzle began to fall from the sky, making Dark Traces Alley even more cold and heavy!
In the fine, dense rain, Yan Luoyue murmured to herself.
The pain in her fingertips came in waves, but she paid no attention and walked directly towards the alley entrance.
As soon as she exited the alley, blinding sunlight shone upon her entire body, and the damp, cold feeling was replaced by warmth.
“What kind of weather is this? It rains one moment and is sunny the next?”
She complained, and a worried greeting from a Scholar reached her ears:
“Pavilion Master, you are injured!”
What came into view were the assassins of the First Hall of the No Return Pavilion.
Earlier at Mingyang Restaurant, Yan Luoyue and the Scholar had agreed to meet at Dark Traces Alley.
