Evil arises from the heart! Cheng Ling's pupils contracted sharply, and his flesh twisted instantly, transforming into a demonic form in less than half a breath!
A somber atmosphere permeated the small pavilion.
The light vanished so suddenly that the two cloud knights panicked.
"what happened?"
One of them exclaimed.
Just then, a sinister voice rang out!
"Kid, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Cheng Ling grinned wickedly. His face was now covered by a hideous suit of armor, and he raised the sharp blades extending from his arms high as he charged towards Li Yuan!
Li Yuan stood expressionless in the darkness, his azure pupils radiating boundless cold light.
"Hmph, prepare to die!"
Cheng Ling snorted coldly and went straight to the point!
Just when the bone blade on his wrist was only an inch away from Li Yuan's throat, he couldn't get any closer to him!
"What's going on?!"
He exclaimed in surprise, feeling the icy chill emanating from his legs. His pupils narrowed, and he turned to look at his feet!
Countless sharp ice crystals surged from the ground, climbed up his ankles, and continued to extend upwards until they engulfed his thighs, firmly fixing him in place.
A bone-chilling cold swept over Cheng Ling, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead. It turned out that the other party had suspected him all along!
"The Medicine King's secret teachings: No mercy for the dead."
Li Yuan instantly drew his icy blue slender sword, gripped the hilt with both hands, and thrust it into his chest with a sideways movement!
"Ahh!"
Painful wails echoed throughout the entire pavilion!
After noticing the situation, the soldiers below immediately sent several upstairs to provide support, but this indirectly resulted in some gaps in the defense.
The intense pain rendered Cheng Ling unable to think, and the icy power of destiny surged into his body.
"The order of the hunt."
Li Yuan closed his eyes slightly and murmured.
Cheng Ling's bone and flesh armor rapidly disintegrated, and his demonic body was swiftly destroyed by the power of the hunting destiny!
The abundant power within his body slowly dissipated, and his body returned to normal. He collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Li Yuan drew his longsword and looked at the soldier beside him, saying, "Keep an eye on this guy."
Having said that, he leaped into the bedroom.
The power of ice crystals gathered in his hand, emitting a pale blue light that illuminated the entire dimly lit bedroom.
"Cough cough."
The coughing sound made Li Yuan's pupils dilate. He held the Ice Crystal Lamp in front of him, looking at Han Yu leaning against the wall and the woman she was holding in her arms.
Han Yu was breathing heavily and weakly, her eyelashes trembling.
"what happens?"
Li Yuan glanced around and frowned slightly.
With difficulty, Han Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "The enemy...there's more than one..."
As he spoke, Han Yu slowly raised his arm and pointed to the open window.
"She jumped from here. I'm sorry... I was no match for her."
Han Yu's face was pale, and she felt a wave of fear as she recalled everything that had just happened.
The moment she stepped into the room, her vision went completely blurred.
Then a blood-red blade came flying in!
Fortunately, she was a wind-attribute hunter, otherwise she would probably have died on the spot!
Seeing that her sneak attack had failed, the woman became very cautious and did not launch another attack.
Instead, they threatened Hanyu with the old woman's life. Hanyu, who came from the Jiheng Division, naturally wouldn't harm the innocent.
Finally, taking advantage of the moment when Han Yu was distracted by the old woman, the woman struck and seriously injured him.
However, the woman didn't gain much advantage during their confrontation. After being hit by a wind blade from Han Yu, she had no choice but to give up the idea of killing him and escaped by jumping out of the window.
Li Yuan checked her injuries, and then the supporting soldiers arrived and rescued Han Yu and the old woman.
During the rescue, the old woman's body showed signs of decay...
After finishing his Korean, Li Yuan went to the window, touched a bit of the bloodstain on the window with his hand, and seemed to be deep in thought.
...
Damn it!
In the darkness, the woman in red clutched her injured abdomen, her face contorted in a grimace.
The celestial boat patrols at night very frequently. If we hadn't prepared an escape route in advance, we probably would have really been doomed here this time.
In the dimly lit alley, I glanced behind me.
Since Cheng Ling hasn't come out after so long, he's probably already dead.
"The Medicine King will remember you."
The woman murmured to herself.
He then took a deep breath and fled along the route he remembered.
This mission was a complete failure, and it's all that damn fortune teller's fault!
The woman's face hardened as she carefully recalled the entire operation. From the moment she encountered that giant array, everything she had done began to crumble.
It doesn't matter. Failure once is no big deal. If Cheng Ling dies, he dies. As long as I don't die, there's still a chance to act.
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but look at the scroll hidden in front of her chest.
Time passed slowly.
The escape route was much smoother than she had imagined, and she did not encounter any night patrols or cloud knights.
But she wasn't in a good mood at all.
The humiliation ravaged her self-esteem, and she vowed that one day she would find that damned "low-class" fortune teller and make him pay for the humiliation he had caused her a hundredfold!
As she was thinking, she came to the corner of a small alley.
Then a lazy male voice entered her ears, making her immediately alert!
The woman leaned against the wall, looking sideways at the path she had to take.
In the middle of the alley, there was a... mahjong table?!
