"Huff, huff..."
Fist strength roared, and a mighty wind drumd like thunder.
The werewolf's punch ca straight at Naless, the fierce wind galing against her cheeks, causing a sharp pain.
Before the Spiritual Energy Revival, this werewolf's strength was perhaps between the early and completion stages of Energy Transformation. Now, with the revival, he had reached the peak of Energy Transformation, on par with Naless.
However, Naless, though her strength had stagnated due to the Soul Snatching Secret Technique, still did not fear these people.
Her eyes sparkled with cold lightning; as she neared the werewolf, her figure suddenly flashed and then vanished before everyone's eyes.
Naless had exercised her Invisibility Ability!
The werewolf briefly panicked, then relied on the suspended, ethereal shadows to calmly gauge the sharpness of Naless's dagger and how far it was from him.
"Tss!"
The werewolf's pupils contracted slightly as he pinpointed Naless's position and the proximity of the dagger's blade; as soon as he threw a punch towards where he anticipated Naless's head to be, a hissing sound erupted from his body.
"Pffft!"
All saw the werewolf's neck suddenly slashed open, copious bright red blood spurting out like a gushing fountain!
His prediction was wrong!
Naless's dagger, swifter than his punch, had slit his throat first! ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelFirｅ
"Oof, oof..."
With his windpipe severed, the werewolf couldn't speak, and due to the potent poison Naless had laced on her dagger, his life force was rapidly draining. Shortly, his pupils dilated, and his breath grew weak!
"Bang!!"
Even so, the punch the werewolf had thrown had not lost much of its force and struck Naless directly!
A dull thudding sound ensued!
"Ugh..."
Naless groaned in pain, and her previously hidden body was revealed again.
Her head was not smashed by the werewolf's punch,, but her right shoulder, which she couldn't dodge in ti, was hit!
The peak Energy Transformation strength combined with the werewolf's natural brute force directly ruined Naless's shoulder, causing her right arm to go limp like noodles, unable to grip the dagger tightly!
"Clang!"
The dagger hit the ground!
"Hiss!!"
At that mont, with the werewolf's death, the other werewolves and vampires sprang into action, converging toward Naless to attack!
"Hmph!"
Naless sneered, clenched her left hand, and directly crushed the dagger in her hand into countless shards, then shook her hand!
"Tss, tss, tss!!"
The broken blade flew out, forcefully shooting toward them!
A shrill, piercing sound filled the air!
"Ahhhh!!"
So werewolves and vampires managed to react in ti, dodging the deadly shards. Others weren't as quick, and were killed instantly!
Just as the surrounding attackers thought Naless would continue charging forward to break through, contrary to their expectations, Naless turned around without hesitation and ran back!
She wasn't planning to escape to Jiangnan Province with San Liu anymore!
When the crowd realized, Naless was already just a dot in the distance!
"A bunch of trash! Chase!!"
Just then, a Count Vampire erged from the shadows, his eyes irritable as he glanced in the direction of Naless's escape, and then commanded the remaining subordinates!
...
Naless, carrying San Liu, broke away from the pursuers and fled backward.
San Liu, who had been quiet on her back, now spoke up, "You're injured, let down. Go by yourself!"
Naless remained silent.
With a voice filled with a mix of concern and guilt, San Liu said, "Didn't you just say, when things are beyond help, you would escape alone?"
Naless spoke coldly, "I don't like owing favors to anyone."
San Liu said, "If it were about repaying a favor, it would have been settled when you helped kill the Lord of the Killing Realm. Now, I owe you a favor. You should leave behind while they have not started chasing and escape on your own, or it will be too late!"
San Liu knew he was dood, but Naless was different.
As long as she didn't think about taking him with her and used her invisibility ability, none of the assassins were Divine Realm Warriors, so not only could she easily escape, but she could even kill a few of them before leaving at her leisure!
Therefore, while Naless was fighting, San Liu didn't dare to speak out, afraid of disturbing her, but as soon as they escaped from being surrounded and he saw her injured, he urged her to leave him behind.
The situation was now different from earlier.
Initially, Naless had carried him as they fled, but her injuries were not severe. As long as they were cornered, she could leave him behind and escape at any mont.
But now, her right arm was broken, and if she didn't leave on her own while breaking through the encirclent, once they were surrounded again, Naless would find it difficult to escape using invisibility!
After all, she was injured, and the sll of blood could lead them to her location!
"Too late!"
San Liu was about to persuade Naless again, even preparing to struggle and leave on his own, when he noticed Naless stopping and uttering a chilling phrase.
As San Liu looked up, he saw dozens of n in black on the road ahead, smirking at them coldly.
It turned out that the group of assassins had split into two, one part reaching their inevitable path ahead of ti to set an ambush, while the other part continued to follow behind them in case they changed routes!
"Huff!"
"Huff!"
At that mont, the sound of flapping bat wings ca from behind; the people previously shaken off by Naless had caught up!
Now, with roadblocks ahead and pursuers behind, they had no place to escape!
Watching this scene, San Liu's heart surged, and he hurriedly shouted, "Quick, while they haven't started to encircle us completely, if you leave behind, you can still escape!"
As he spoke, San Liu endured severe pain and mustered the last bit of his strength to try to get off Naless's back.
"Tap!"
However, Naless simply pointed a finger to his pressure point, instantly immobilizing him!
"If we're to die, let's die together!"
Naless's tone held no fear; instead, there was a hint of madness.
Afterwards, she took out the sword array diagram, preparing to die together with those n!
The sword array they had obtained could easily kill Divine Realm Warriors, but it had its limitations—it required a vast amount of spiritual power, aning it needed a Spirit Stone to activate, or alternatively, the Sword Array could accumulate enough spiritual power slowly in the Spirit Gathering Array and be used once without any cost!
They had already used the Sword Array recently to break out of an encirclent, and without a Spirit Stone, it could not be activated again soon.
Thus, Naless was prepared to burn her essence blood and sacrifice her life to activate the Sword Array and break through the encirclent once more!
If possible, she hoped that during this breakout, she could et Mu Jinyu before dying, so he could save San Liu, and that way, she would die with no regrets!
"Ha!"
Just as Naless took out the sword array diagram and was about to burn her life to activate it.
Suddenly...
"Tss!"
The dry bones on the ground, likely left unattended since the recent darkness turmoil, suddenly rose, pointing a finger at a vital spot on Naless as she was about to cast the secret technique.
"Puff!"
Naless, utterly unprepared for this, suddenly lost her breath, and her secret technique failed to cast and backfired, causing her to cough out a mouthful of fresh blood!
"Bang!"
Afterward, she fell powerless, unable to exert any strength, and tumbled heavily to the ground with San Liu!
"Hahaha... Finally succeeded..."
With Naless down, a middle-aged man in a suit and back-brushed hair, holding a cigar, stepped out from the crowd and thanked a petite old man exuding a cold and sinister aura.
"Old Wu, thank you for your trouble this ti..."
He was very respectful.
Because this old man was a powerful Witch-ghoul, a Divine Realm Level Warrior.
He could use Necromancy to control the undead, such as skeletons and corpses...
The ambush that Naless just suffered, which led to the failure and backlash of her last secret technique, was successfully carried out by him controlling a skeleton.
