Although Xu Yuehuai was agile, the man's strength was astonishing. Each attack left her feeling powerless. However, she did not give up; she knew she had to persevere, or she would be in dire straits.
Suddenly, she used all her strength to slash at the man's chest with her knife.
"Ah—! Damn woman! I'll skin you alive!"
The man cried out in pain and stumbled back a few steps.
"You're the one who deserves to die!"
Xu Yuehuai seized the opportunity to rush towards him, and plunged the knife in her hand fiercely into his throat.
"you……"
The man's eyes widened in terror. He tried to escape, but it was too late. The knife pierced his throat, and blood gushed out.
Xu Yuehuai, panting heavily, looked at the man lying on the ground, her heart filled with fear and lingering dread.
She knew that her escape this time was purely by luck. But she also understood that from now on, she must be more careful, otherwise, such luck might not come again.
I must leave this place as soon as possible!
She then sheathed her knife, took a deep breath to suppress her fear and lingering dread, turned and walked out of the courtyard, disappearing into the night.
However, not long after, Xu Yuehuai's heart felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on it. The shouts of the guards exploded in her ears like thunder: "It's terrible, the master is dead!"
"The woman the master brought back has disappeared. She might have killed him. Go after her!"
"We absolutely cannot let her escape from the manor!"
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, and fear and unease surged like a tide. She knew that her current situation was extremely dangerous.
Xu Yuehuai dared not hesitate for a moment. She suddenly sped up and ran towards the outside of the mansion. Her heart was pounding like a drum, and every step seemed to use all her strength.
The guards behind him reacted swiftly and immediately gave chase. Their footsteps echoed in the silent night, like the relentless approach of death's scythe.
"Don't even think about running!"
"If you kill our master, you won't live either!"
"stop!"
Xu Yuehuai was panting heavily as she ran, not daring to stop for even a moment.
She continued running forward, and suddenly, a tall building appeared in her sight.
That's where she escaped from before, and it's her only hope now!
She strained with all her might, rushing towards the tall building. The guards behind her drew closer, their eyes flashing with a fierce light, as if they wanted to devour her alive.
Just as Xu Yuehuai was about to be caught, she finally rushed into the high-rise building.
She ran upwards desperately, each step seemingly a race against death.
The guards behind him also rushed into the high-rise building, their footsteps echoing in the stairwell like a death knell.
Xu Yuehuai ran to the rooftop, and when she turned around, she saw that the guards had caught up with her.
Their faces wore ferocious smiles, as if they could already see her doom.
However, Xu Yuehuai did not give up; a sharp light flashed in her eyes.
She knew that she had to do her best to buy some time so that she could escape the pursuit of these villains!
"Who are you? Why have you suddenly barged into our Wan Hua Lou?"
Just then, a dark figure darted out from the shadows like a ghost, followed closely by several other figures. They quickly drew their weapons, warily eyeing these uninvited guests.
Their appearance seemed to bring a chilling aura, instantly plunging the once bustling Wan Hua Lou into silence.
The guards were caught off guard by the sight of these people. They had planned to eliminate Xu Yuehuai here, but they did not expect so many people to suddenly appear.
The situation instantly became complicated. Neither the secret guards nor the guards of Wan Hua Lou dared to make any rash moves. They faced each other in a tense standoff.
Xu Yuehuai took the opportunity to hide to the side, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes as she looked at the people who had suddenly appeared.
"My helpers are here, you're all doomed!" Xu Yuehuai shouted, her voice filled with smugness and arrogance.
Her words stunned everyone, and they all turned to look at Xu Yuehuai, trying to figure out who the helper she was talking about was.
Xu Yuehuai, however, remained silent, calmly observing both sides.
No one knows who suddenly launched the attack, and chaos ensued.
"Damn it! You dare to touch our men on our turf? You're asking for trouble! Attack! Leave no one alive!"
"Your men killed our master, and now you're trying to silence them? It seems you're also involved in this. Wan Hua Lou can forget about staying in the capital! Kill them! Destroy Wan Hua Lou!"
The guards and secret agents of Wanhua Tower were misled by Xu Yuehuai's words. They thought that the helper Xu Yuehuai mentioned was the other side, so the two sides immediately started a fierce fight.
Their figures crisscrossed in the air, sword light flashing, and energy surging. They were both incredibly powerful, each strike potentially fatal, so neither dared to be careless.
However, while they were locked in a fierce battle, Xu Yuehuai had already taken the opportunity to escape from the scene.
She leaped from the rooftop, her figure tracing a graceful arc through the night sky like a ghost. Her escape caught everyone off guard; they gasped in surprise, but it was too late to stop her.
"Damn it! This woman actually knows martial arts, who is she?" The guards of Wan Hua Lou were dumbfounded.
"A woman also escaped from the rooftop before. Could this be her accomplice?"
"We can't let her escape, go after her!"
The fat-headed, big-eared man's bodyguards were stunned. They watched Xu Yuehuai's fleeing figure, their hearts filled with anger and helplessness.
"Isn't she one of your accomplices?"
"I thought you guys were in cahoots. Looks like we've been fooled by her!"
They never expected to be manipulated by a young woman, which made them feel extremely humiliated and angry.
"Chase!" one of the guards of Wan Hua Lou roared. They immediately abandoned their fight with the secret guards and turned to chase after Xu Yuehuai.
The guards reacted quickly, immediately abandoning the fight and giving chase.
Xu Yuehuai fled at an extremely fast speed, darting through the night sky like a shooting star streaking across the heavens.
However, her injuries were getting worse, and each leap sent a sharp pain through her. She knew she couldn't stop, or she would surely die if caught.
She gritted her teeth and continued to flee. Her heart was filled with despair and helplessness. She knew she was in dire straits, and whether she faced life or death, she could only press on.
Amidst the chaos, the Wan Hua Lou was also left in a mess.
