Chapter 469: Relentless Pursuit, Dark Traces Alley

Black Fox quickly looked around nervously, observing the surroundings carefully.

In his eyes, it was just an ordinary alley; he didn’t see anything special!

Yan Luoyue on the opposite side remained silent, her figure indistinct, seemingly motionless!

“Yo, isn’t this the Masked Man from the arena challenge?”

“It’s been a few days, hope you’ve been well!”

From the endless darkness, Yan Luoyue’s clear and quiet voice came.

Black Fox clenched his sword hilt as if about to move, gave a look to the Black-Robed Man beside him, and after seeing the person blend into the darkness, he let out a relieved chuckle and replied with respect:

“Pavilion Master Yan, after parting ways last time, I thought I wouldn’t have another chance to meet!”

“I didn’t expect we’d be so fated!”

Acting!

Keep acting for her!

They were clearly the ones who came looking for trouble with her, yet she made it seem like she was the innocent one!

“Fated?”

“I don’t think so! You probably created the opportunity yourself, didn’t you?”

The Black-Robed Man who had left slowly crept up behind Yan Luoyue, silently raised his long sword!

Black Fox chuckled, feigning awkwardness, and began to stall for time with a tangled tone:

“How could that be!”

“I deeply admire Pavilion Master Yan’s character and abilities; this is truly a misunderstanding!”

Yan Luoyue tilted her head slightly, looking at the countless black figures not far away, like a doomsday zombie siege, chilling to the bone!

“It seems Dark Spear was right; you indeed took acting classes!”

Yan Luoyue’s words left Black Fox bewildered, not understanding what she was talking about.

As he was pondering, he heard the name that made his body tremble!

“Mysterious Person’s Personal Guard Commander, Black Fox, personally here? It seems you truly despise me!”

Black Fox’s pupils constricted sharply, and his whole body tensed up.

The Black-Robed Man behind him also started, staring at her in disbelief.

Even in the darkness, their shocked gazes could be seen!

She actually knew his identity!

Black Fox shook his head in a daze and couldn’t help but mutter:

“Impossible! It’s impossible!”

“How could she possibly know!”

“Has the plan leaked again?”

Black Fox understood that he couldn’t delay any longer; if he did, their plan might fail again!

The Black-Robed Man who had crept behind Yan Luoyue, reversed his grip on a sharp dagger, and with a fierce and firm gaze, stabbed fiercely!

“Whoosh!”

A gale cut through the air, leaving a strong afterimage!

Black Fox and the others were overcome with excitement!

They were moments away from success!

The blade was already within inches of Yan Luoyue’s neck!

Within reach!

But what happened the next moment made them turn pale with shock and sink into extreme disappointment!

Yan Luoyue’s lips curved slightly, and then, she flipped in mid-air!

She soared high over the stunned Black-Robed Man’s head, her robe brushing past his cheek with a *shua* sound.

She landed nimbly!

Then, her arm quickly shot out to his neck, forming a triangle shape and instantly subduing the Black-Robed Man!

With a hand chop, she struck the Black-Robed Man’s wrist!

The dagger dropped, and was smoothly caught by a fair and slender hand in mid-air!

The dagger that was supposed to threaten Yan Luoyue was thus taken away by the enemy meaninglessly!

Instead, it was pressed against his own throat!

The Black-Robed Man instantly froze, standing stiffly in place, the arm around his neck tightening, making him unable to breathe!

His entire face turned crimson!

The physiological struggle before death was mercilessly suppressed by the dagger quickly approaching in Yan Luoyue’s hand!

Feeling the cold touch on his neck, the Black-Robed Man no longer cared about struggling; his body became even stiffer than before!

In just a few breaths, Black Fox’s scheme had fallen into a disadvantage!

He gritted his teeth in hatred, cursing the waste in his heart!

Yan Luoyue tilted her head, glanced at the Black-Robed Man in front of her, and displayed a bewitching and moving smile she had never shown before!

Her pair of dark eyes were bottomless, as if containing countless ghosts, as if everything was merely a plaything she controlled at will!

The Black-Robed Man closed his eyes in despair, as if realizing he wouldn’t survive!

Her red lips parted, and in her hazy eyes, there was a trace of bloodthirsty coldness!

“Sneaking attack on me?”

“You’re not qualified!”

The next moment, the dagger in her hand pressed down fiercely, its sharp blade easily cutting through the skin!

A bloody smell instantly spread, carried by the breeze to the nostrils of Black Fox and the others!

“Wait!”

Black Fox shouted, a chill running down his spine, he couldn’t help but swallow, and continued:

“Pavilion Master Yan, we can talk this out. If there’s any misunderstanding, we can discuss it properly!”

“Why… resort to violence?”

The dagger that should have cut Yan Luoyue’s throat suddenly stopped, and she slightly raised her eyes in confusion, staring directly at the inexplicably tense Black Fox opposite her!

Fortunately, Black Fox couldn’t see her gaze clearly, otherwise he would have already shown fear!

She glanced again at the Black-Robed Man she was controlling, a smile like a blooming Agate flower…

Extremely dangerous, and extremely deadly!

Her voice was as light as a feather, but upon closer listening, every word carried an indescribable madness and excitement!

“Black Fox, are you nervous?”

“Why?”

“Your ordinary subordinate, who no one has heard of, you care about him so much?”

Yan Luoyue’s questions were like a devil’s low murmur, drifting leisurely through the suffocating air into Black Fox’s ears!

He couldn’t help but shiver!

Oh no!

This crazy woman saw through his intentions!

Alas! If only he had known, he wouldn’t have let A Feng attempt the sneak attack!

The Master had just handed the person over to him and had specifically instructed him to teach him well, so he couldn’t let A Feng die meaninglessly like this!

Black Fox chuckled awkwardly twice, deliberately avoiding Yan Luoyue’s previous question, and spread his hands innocently.

“Then I really wouldn’t want to kill him!”

“After all, he’s a weakness that can threaten you!”

As soon as he said this, Black Fox felt his heart and lungs explode with anger; he hated being threatened the most, Yan Luoyue was simply probing his limits!

He had to find a way to help A Feng escape her clutches, Black Fox gave him a coded signal:

“Pavilion Master Yan, don’t try to guess other people’s thoughts so easily!”

“It’s easy to become narrow-minded!”

“Attack! Take her down, and the bounty is a thousand taels!”

Hearing the reward, all the Black-Robed Men became excited, momentarily forgetting the terror of the No Return Pavilion, and eagerly drew their swords to attack!

Several black figures, like ghosts parading through the streets, rushed towards her!

And A Feng, having received the signal, used his desperate ultimate skill, the bone shrinking technique!

His whole body suddenly became shorter, his form shrinking smaller and smaller!

Yan Luoyue couldn’t react in time, and A Feng quickly escaped. Just then, he was grabbed by the collar by the rushing Black Fox, who used his lightness skill to fly away quickly, successfully rescuing A Feng!

Yan Luoyue was utterly speechless by this display of skill!
