Cheng Xiaoxiao considered herself generous, but the other party gave her no leeway.

Seeing the opponent raising the sword ready to fight, Cheng Xiaoxiao was speechless. Wasn’t she trying to show Zhou Yanlan some respect? Since the other party lacked tact, there was no need for her to make the effort.

Two powerful Sword Qi collided, sparks flying, cold light shimmering, as if the entire space trembled and twisted, invisible pressure amplifying.

A momentary clash, yet separated the next, as if mutually probing each other with a brief touch then withdrawal.

The leader of the assassins couldn’t discern Cheng Xiaoxiao’s martial arts techniques or cultivation level, but during the exchange, he roughly gauged her strength. Such power at a young age, quite a talent.

What a pity, lacking perception, too young and daring in meddling with everything.

Should let the other party experience the consequence of being nosy today, right?

Both were tough opponents, now evenly matched, Sword Qi like lightning, alternating presence, snowflakes fluttering. Their fighting spirit vigorous, exchanged hundreds of moves within breaths, seemingly freezing the surrounding world.

Yang Bingbing, regaining some strength, staggered over to the fainted boy, picked him up.

Found a safe place, let him lean against her embrace.

Looking up to watch the battle, she was surprised, the assassin leader was indeed of Dark Realm strength, didn’t expect this young lord to be so formidable, able to contend with a Dark Realm master at such a young age.

Indeed, there is always someone stronger, wider perspectives, previously narrow-minded, quite self-assured, Jianghu perilous, traps everywhere, overconfidence on her part.

Thinking Uncle Yang might have tragically died by now, tears streamed down.

Her recklessness caused harm to Uncle Yang.

"I’m sorry!" Sobbing uncontrollably!

It was all her fault.

Having completed many tasks, Cheng Xiaoxiao’s body significantly enhanced in many aspects, yet her speed was still slower than the opponent’s, clearly their Qinggong was top-notch.

This made her frustrated, exchanging thousands of moves, yet not overpowering the opponent, clearly a tough nut. Given this, she couldn’t be blamed for being ruthless and unpredictable.

Retracting her long sword, instantly transformed into a stun baton, today Sis won’t let you off easy.

The assassin leader was agitated as well, in the split second of passing by, the opponent changed weapons. He didn’t understand why discard the sharp sword for a seemingly ordinary stick.

Could the stick hold some specialty?

Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to rush up for a head-banging attack, didn’t expect the opponent to remain vigilant, continually avoiding her stick, never giving her a chance to close in, truly a tough assassin.

Indeed, those who become assassin leaders possess extraordinary intuition.

Unfortunately, no point in guarding anymore.

Cheng Xiaoxiao spun back, brandishing a sharp dagger, the opponent noticed hidden weapon attack, hastily raised sword in defense. At that moment, Cheng Xiaoxiao thunderously struck with the baton, wanted to block the stick again, but couldn’t.

Could only muster Qi Force to protect oneself, preventing the stick’s force from inflicting serious injury.

However, he misjudged the stick’s lethality, it wasn’t due to Cheng Xiaoxiao’s strength, but because it was full of secrets, the moment the stick touched his body.

Body instantly numbed and pained, as though struck by lightning, internal Qi Force surged chaotically, Qi force backflowed.

Three seconds of stasis, waving sword lost strength, at critical moment, Cheng Xiaoxiao seized the chance, thrust sword into the opponent’s chest.

The outcome of experts often decided in an instant.

Yet with the opponent’s deviation beyond three seconds, does he still have survival chance?

Obviously... depends on who the opponent is!

Indeed, the opponent responded swiftly, after all, a master emerged alive from piles of corpses. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Sharp intuition, first-rate danger perception, the long sword penetrated four to five centimeters, not completely piercing the heart, unable to advance further.

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt immense resistance holding the sword, assassin leader swept sword horizontally, Cheng Xiaoxiao tilted her head back, dodging the attack. Simultaneously withdrew the sword stabbed into the opponent’s chest.

A ripping sound and blood splattered.

The opponent clutched his bleeding chest, glaring at Cheng Xiaoxiao, heart filled with unwillingness and anger, seemingly turning tangible, fierce enough to tear her apart.

Indeed capable assassin leader, Cheng Xiaoxiao brimming with battle spirit, didn’t expect him to suddenly feint, pulling out an object abruptly throwing it on the ground.

With a bang, white smoke instantly enveloped.

Not long after, the white smoke dispersed, no trace of the assassin leader remained, he actually escaped.

Cheng Xiaoxiao too had no intention to chase a single assassin relentlessly, she had plenty to do, as for fearing being targeted by Dark Pavilion assassins? That’s truly nothing to worry about for her.

Without exposing her identity, who knows who she is?

Turning around to retrieve the sword, casually wiped off blood on her face.

There were three corpses here, the scent of blood was strong.

She sighed, becoming increasingly accustomed to such events.

Having executed numerous missions, encountered various sorts, all sorts of oddities.

Such is Jianghu, either you kill me or I kill you, sometimes unclear who’s right or wrong, saying assassin organization is despicable, well they’re just doing business with money, nothing to be said, mere difference in stance.

System: It suspects host favors assassins due to Zhou Yanlan being the leader, hence doesn’t find assassins detestable.

But seeing this girl barely older than her and this seven or eight-year-old boy still naïve, unable to bear, inwardly cursed the evil behind-the-scenes instigators.

"Are you alright, can you still walk?" Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the older girl.

Cheng Xiaoxiao admired the girl’s valiant demeanor and presence of Hua Mulan, with heroic spirit.

Having seen too many delicate or gentle girls in ancient times, such uniquely bold and straightforward girls are exceptionally rare.

Good attributes: personality, appearance, character, even combat power.

With training, truly a good seed not inferior to men, she again thought of recruiting her.

No choice, her faction lacked armed strength greatly, even more lacking resilient girls like her.

Yang Bingbing: Thank you for the praise!

Unexpected to survive, Yang Bingbing promptly replied, "Thank you young master for the rescue, grateful beyond words, if you need anything from me in the future, just let me know."

"Oh, I thought you’d say ’a life saving grace should be repaid with marrying you’."

Cheng Xiaoxiao sighed at the storyline differing from imagined.

Why hasn’t such luck come to her, such a wonderful lady indeed.

"Young master, what are you saying?"

Such gentle speech, Yang Bingbing didn’t hear clearly, asked again.

"Nothing, I asked if you’re also heading to Dayan City? Coincidentally, I’m going to Dayan City too, since that’s the case, let’s travel together!"
