Night.

An SUV sped away from the Zhai Family Manor's farmhouse, racing down the uneven road. A man was driving, not particularly skilled, and with the rough road, the ride was extremely bumpy.

A masked woman sat in the back seat, frowning at the jarring ride, but she endured it silently. They had no choice; they needed to catch up to Ye Tianyu and couldn't let him escape.

"Damn, what happened, was there an accident?"

The man suddenly exclaimed, stepping on the brake and bringing the car to a halt.

The masked woman leaned forward to see what was happening. Sure enough, two cars were stopped ahead. One blocked the road, while the other had crashed into a large stone nearby, its body damaged.

The masked woman frowned, pointing at the wrecked SUV, "Is that your car?"

The man said, "Yeah, what happened?"

The masked woman said nothing, pushed open the door, and got out, scanning her surroundings with sharp eyes.

Tonight, the masked woman had directly kidnapped Hong Jinmao from the police, then successfully forced him to reveal Ye Tianyu's whereabouts, prompting her pursuit.

Her accomplices, the ones driving those SUVs, had reached the destination first, attempting to restrain Ye Tianyu ahead of time.

Unexpectedly, when the masked woman arrived, these people had all been killed, and one of the SUVs was missing.

The masked woman speculated that Ye Tianyu most likely drove it away and there must be a skilled fighter with him because she knew Ye Tianyu alone couldn't have killed them all. Her examination showed all had died by a single hand.

Unexpectedly, Ye Tianyu and this skilled fighter had driven to this place but collided with someone else.

What happened?

An accident is fine, but why are both cars empty now? Where did the people go?

The masked woman noticed something, muttering to herself, "There was a fight here..."

The man said, "No way, who would be so unlucky as to fight them? That's suicidal!"

That guy slaughtered all those people in an instant!

The masked woman said, "No, who won or lost is still unclear. After all, there are no bodies around."

The man, surprised, said, "Really? Someone could hold their own against that skilled fighter? As far as I know, you're the most skilled fighter we have."

The masked woman walked to the bushes, reaching in and finding blood on her hand. She had made a judgment, "They've run into the woods. Let's chase them!"

It's still uncertain whether Ye Tianyu and his group escaped or if the person they collided with got away.

But it's certain there's another skilled fighter!

This newly appeared mysterious expert might also be after Ye Tianyu!

The masked woman and the man immediately pursued into the woods.

"Let's follow the blood trail!" the masked woman reminded the man.

The man grunted, and the two of them chased after the blood trail.

This chase continued for a while.

"Miss, here's a blood trail! Over here!" the man said.

The masked woman suddenly frowned and said, "Wait, there's something strange here!"

The man curiously asked, "What's strange?"

The masked woman surveyed the surroundings and then smirked, "I know what's going on, someone's setting up a decoy. We've gone the wrong way, there's no way to find them!"

The man said, "Damn, why don't you people play by the rules? So what now, can we still track them?"

The masked woman looked around and said, "Follow me!"

Even though the masked woman saw through the deception, finding Ye Tianyu's true trail wasn't easy. It was nighttime, and after Ye Tianyu, Lin Fan and the young man had each left their traces, making it hard to discern truth from deception.

They wandered through the mountain forest for over an hour, finding nothing and getting lost.

"I can't go on, Miss. I'm exhausted." The man was out of breath, utterly fatigued.

The masked woman said calmly, "You can stay here and rest, but don't blame me for not warning you, you might run into them at any moment."

Hearing this, the man shivered with fear, his exhaustion vanished, and he quickly rallied himself, following the masked woman closely.

Whether it was encountering the young man or Lin Fan, it would spell disaster for him; he only felt safe with the masked woman since she was also a skilled fighter, and not an ordinary one.

Suddenly, as the masked woman was leading, she stopped abruptly, her gaze set forward.

The man, following her gaze, saw a figure in the moonlight ahead — it was a young man!

The man hadn't realized yet, but the masked woman sensed that this young man was not ordinary, he was a skilled fighter!

The masked woman immediately went on guard.

"Where is Ye Tianyu?" the masked woman demanded coldly.

The young man frowned, then sneered, "So it's you who are after Ye Tianyu!"

The masked woman said, "Good, then hand over Ye Tianyu and I'll spare your miserable life. Otherwise, I'll send you to hell!"

The young man sneered, "Such bravado, you have no idea who you're messing with!"

The masked woman retorted, "I don't care who you are, even if Immortal himself comes tonight, I will get Ye Tianyu. If you don't talk, I'll make you!"

Of course, the young man had no intention of talking, especially since he himself didn't know where Ye Tianyu currently was. He had been misled by Ye Tianyu's decoy and gone the wrong way, and by the time he realized, he was lost.

He intended to retrace his steps, trying to undo Ye Tianyu's deception, when he unexpectedly ran into the masked woman.

With the confrontation, the young man knew immediately she was from the group hunting Ye Tianyu.

"Ha, arrogant woman, I'll soon make you regret it!"

With a vicious smile, the young man flipped his hand to reveal a shining dagger, pressing forward towards the masked woman.

The masked woman also drew a dagger from her waist, stepping up to meet him.

The two were about to clash.

"Oh no, someone is coming!" the man suddenly exclaimed when he noticed a movement in the bushes at the foot of the mountain. In the moonlight, a large group was advancing.

"It's the police!" the masked woman's expression changed.

The young man chuckled, "By the time they get here, I'll have dealt with you. They can help bury you!"

He continued advancing quickly towards the masked woman.

With a cold snort, the masked woman showed no fear as she met his advance. The two clashed immediately, both extremely skilled. Under the moonlight, their daggers gleamed, swirling and separating like two glowing snakes.

The man watched them, then looked at the approaching police, growing increasingly anxious like an ant on a hot pan.
