The pitch-black night was like a giant beast devouring everything, and the chilling air that constantly gathered beneath the darkness sent shivers down one's spine.
Even if you can't see each other's faces clearly, the aura they exude makes you dare not let your guard down.
Ning Zi looked at Mu Chenshuang with a flirtatious expression and said, "We want to get something from Weiyang County. As long as Princess Weiyang gives it to us, we will definitely ensure that the young lady and the young man return to Princess Weiyang's side safely."
Mu Chenshuang's eyes darkened as she stared warily at the two people in front of her, saying, "I wonder what else I have that you Dark Night Assassins would need."
Ning Zi smiled and said, "I told you, and Princess Weiyang knew that we want that black blade."
The words were spoken.
Mu Chenshuang tightened her grip on the bamboo pole of the lantern, but her aura remained unchanged, as if she had no idea what Mu Chenshuang meant.
“I’ve heard that this sword belongs to your chief assassin. You’ve probably come to the wrong place. I have no idea what this Black Blade Sword is.”
Her tone of voice left no room for doubt.
Ning Zi smiled and said, "Since we went to such lengths to meet you here, Princess Weiyang, we must know that this sword is in your hands."
Mu Chenshuang's expression remained unchanged, and she said in a calm voice, "Although I don't know why you are so sure that this sword is in my hands, unfortunately, I really don't know about the sword you are talking about."
"It seems Princess Weiyang has no intention of admitting it. In that case, we have no way to guarantee their safety." Ning Zi's voice turned noticeably sinister.
Mu Chenshuang's voice turned cold, "If they make any mistakes, no matter what you do in Kyoto or who's behind you, I will not let you leave alive."
The man, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "Princess Weiyang, you have quite the arrogance!" His words were clearly laced with sarcasm.
"Then let's see today if Princess Weiyang can take our lives."
The words were spoken.
The man instantly gathered power in his palm, and a vortex of air pressure swirled around him.
In an instant.
The figure, moving with lightning speed, attacked Mu Chen Shuang. The moment Mu Chen Shuang dodged, a huge crater appeared where she stood, demonstrating the profound inner strength of the attacker.
In the instant she dodged, a whip followed and attacked her. As the whip struck, Mu Chenshuang immediately turned around, grabbed it, and used her strength to fling Ning Zi towards the man.
Instantly.
Dust and leaves swirled in the air, light and shadow intertwined, and a murderous aura permeated the air.
With a loud bang, the pavilion was shattered into pieces.
Mu Chenshuang stood amidst the flying debris, slowly closing her eyes, her face serene as she listened intently to everything around her.
At that moment, a palm radiating white light attacked her at an extremely fast speed.
Just as she approached Mu Chenshuang, she caught him with one palm, and almost simultaneously, she gathered strength in her other palm and struck the man in the chest.
puff!
The man was ejected from the air, spitting out blood.
Seeing this, Ning Zi lashed out with her whip, but Mu Chenshuang immediately drew her sword, the blade slicing through the air and splitting Ning Zi's whip in two.
The blade was almost in front of her, and she looked terrified. For a moment, she almost forgot how to dodge.
Just as the sword was about to reach her brow, a force deflected it. Ning Zi reacted, but despite dodging, the sword energy still grazed the skin on one side of her cheek.
The moment the stinging sensation hit her, she reached up to touch her scratched cheek, and was immediately furious, "How dare you scratch my face!"
The sword flew back into Mu Chenshuang's hand.
"You should be glad you only got a scratch on your face," Mu Chenshuang said, her words laced with sarcasm.
Ning Zi could no longer maintain her initial composure; at this moment, all she wanted to do was ruin Mu Chenshuang's face.
Just as she was about to rush forward, the man stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, stopped her, and whispered in her ear, "We are no match for her."
Ning Zi's eyes darkened, her heart filled with resentment. She clenched her fists to calm herself down. She had fought against Mu Chenshuang before, but Mu Chenshuang was clearly much stronger now.
It's unbelievable that Mu Chenshuang's internal energy cultivation could increase so much in such a short time.
"I only have one question for you: where are they now?"
The man's gaze fell on Mu Chenshuang, "If Princess Weiyang is so capable, then go find it yourself. I wonder if what you find will be a living person or two cold corpses."
The moment the words were spoken.
The man put one hand on Ning Zi's shoulder, leaped away from the spot, and disappeared into the night.
Mu Chenshuang sheathed her sword and followed closely behind.
