In her chest, the ancient compass was emitting an icy chill that penetrated directly into her heart, making her feel the presence of murderous intent. Could it be that the throbbing feeling just now was also released by this compass?
It turned out that there was something strange about the compass. Mu Hanyan did not take out the compass to investigate the reason, but instead adjusted her breathing and then tensed every nerve.
The murderous intent continued to approach. Concentrating completely, Mu Hanyan could faintly hear the almost inaudible sound of footsteps. Clearly, a master had infiltrated the City Lord's Mansion and was heading straight for her room. More importantly, Mu Hanyan could sense his unwavering determination to kill.
Who was coming? Could it be the Zhao family? Those who wanted her life earlier should not have noticed her existence. At present, the so-called enemy is only the fourth daughter of the Zhao family, who might want to deal with her. But the grudge between her and the fourth daughter of the Zhao family is not enough for her family to take such a risk. Because even if she is useless, she is still the eldest son of the City Lord's Mansion in name? Isn't the Zhao family afraid that the matter will be exposed and cause the genocide? For such a small grudge, the Zhao family will not take such a risk. Besides, this is the City Lord's Mansion. With the strength of the Zhao family, it seems that no one can sneak in so quietly.
Definitely not from the Zhao family.
Who could that be?
In an instant, Mu Hanyan's mind raced, but she couldn't come up with an answer, so she temporarily buried her doubts. Now was not the time to dwell on this question. From the barely audible footsteps and the chilling murderous intent, she could guess that the opponent was far more powerful than her. Even if she called for help now, the opponent would be able to kill her before the guards arrived.
If you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself.
Mu Hanyan slowly got out of bed, gathered the quilt into a human shape, pretending to be still asleep, and then retreated to the side of the window, held her breath, bent down, grasped the sword, and made the best preparation for attack.
Considering the opponent's strength, sneaking in and assassinating a first-level swordsman rookie would probably make him underestimate the enemy.
This should be an opportunity, but it's also the only one. After all, the difference in strength is too great. No matter how powerful she once was, she is now only a first-level swordsman. After that tragic change, she has long since washed away her vanity and become much calmer than before.
Closer and closer!
"Ka", with a light sound, a black shadow broke in through the window, the long sword in his hand emitted a cold light, and stabbed directly at the disguised figure on the bed.
Mu Hanyan's eyes lit up. Just as she'd expected, the opponent didn't take her, a first-level swordsman, seriously. Once he found his target, he unhesitatingly delivered a fatal blow, not only didn't deliberately conceal the sword's flash, but he didn't even carefully identify her position.
Of course, Mu Hanyan would not miss this only opportunity. At the moment when the opponent flew in, she swung her sword diagonally from bottom to top towards the opponent's vital point in the lower body.
This sword was so clever, so swift, and of course, so vicious.
There was no way. The gap in strength was too big, much bigger than she had expected. There was not even a one in ten thousand chance that she would be able to be not vicious.
Only then did Mu Hanyan realize the man's true strength: a tenth-rank swordsman, hailed as a great swordsman, even more formidable than her father, the Lord of Blackstone City. Mu Hanyan even began to regret it. If she had known he possessed such power, she wouldn't have harbored any illusions. Fleeing might have given her a better chance of survival.
Unfortunately, at this point, there is no chance to regret.
