"How about that? Surprised? Unexpected?"
Li Chuan's teasing voice sounded next to Yan Ruyu's ear.
"Damn it, do you think you've secured victory just because you brought two beasts?"
Yan Ruyu's voice was as cold as frost.
The next second, a fierce battle erupted on the small hill!
All the plants within a fifty-ter radius were almost completely destroyed!
The tree as thick as a telephone pole was smashed to pieces with a single blow!
Li Chuan hadn't expected a Seven Kills Sect assassin to be this strong!
And a woman at that!
Even though she's not skilled in direct combat, her agility in evasion allowed her to gain the upper hand. If it weren't for these two Xiong brothers fighting together for a long ti and understanding how to complent each other, and Li Chuan directing from the side, a single bear would have already been slain by Yan Ruyu.
However, Yan Ruyu was, after all, the most outstanding female disciple of the Seven Kills Sect in a century. Even if the situation wasn't in her favor, she had continuously dodged several of Xiong Da and Xiong Er's attacks!
But in these circumstances, fulfilling her mission was simply impossible.
If she were good at frontal assaults, she might continue fighting, but this was her weak point.
As a scholar, her most adept skill was poisoning!
Therefore, upon realizing she couldn't win, she planned to retreat!
With her abilities, retreating was quite easy.
As long as she entered the shadows of the forest, no one could catch up!
Just as she was leaving the attack range of the two bears.
"Whoosh!"
A tree trunk nearly as thick as a roof beam ca crashing down at her!
The timing and angle of this falling trunk were perfect, just as her old strength was exhausted and new strength hadn't been generated!
Moreover, this tree was the one Xiong Da had recently smashed in the battle!
The massive tree body whipped up a fierce gale and a terrifying force. If it hit, she would likely be smashed into pulp!
"Bastard! This kid..."
Seeing this scene, Yan Ruyu's previously calm deanor finally broke!
All along, she was the one manipulating others from the dark, using various tactics to complete her missions and achieve her goals.
Even so experienced Jianghu elders had fallen into her hands!
But now, with her intelligence, what seed like a sure-fire assassination had been outsmarted by Li Chuan, a re university student.
It's as if every step she took since arriving at Taohua Village had been calculated by this kid!
Her poisoning attempts were anticipated.
Her location for deploying poison was discovered. This kid even managed to deploy two large bears to surround and kill her!
She had no idea how he managed it!
In the Jianghu, there was indeed a Beast Taming Sect, but this kid wasn't from that faction at all!
In the end, even her escape route was anticipated by him!
"Since you're here, don't rush to leave. Co to my room, let's have a chat, get to know each other, and then there'll be no need for fighting."
Li Chuan saw although the person's face was covered with a black mask, her eyes were exceptionally beautiful and enchanting. Especially when fighting in a qipao, revealing those snow-white long legs, that small waist, that small derrière, full of wild strength. If he could engage in Dual Cultivation with such a woman, his power would surely increase greatly!
So, how could he let her escape easily, directly swinging a large tree towards her.
Upon hearing Li Chuan's words, though Yan Ruyu was furious, she had no ti to speak.
Facing the terrifying giant tree falling from the sky, she couldn't dodge in ti and could only lift her foot to pick up a stick from the ground to block it sideways!
At the sa ti, she forcibly mobilized the True Qi within her to desperately resist!
After completing all this, the massive trunk ca crashing down!
"Boom!"
With just one blow, the stick in Yan Ruyi's hand was snapped into two pieces, and then the trunk's unstoppable montum landed on Yan Ruyu's arm!
"Puh!"
Yan Ruyu felt an overwhelming force surging towards her!
She spat out a mouthful of blood to relieve most of the impact, and her body flew backward!
This had been ticulously calculated by Yan Ruyu. After all, as an excellent assassin, she needed an outstanding mind.
She took advantage of Li Chuan's heavy strike to escape quickly towards the forest behind her!
Li Chuan also noticed this and imdiately dropped the tree in his hand to pursue.
However, once Yan Ruyu entered the forest, she threw a few poison smoke bombs behind her and swiftly vanished into the shadows of the woods.
Faced with the poison smoke that engulfed almost half the forest, Li Chuan was a bit speechless.
While he had no problem with these poisons, in just that short ti, he had lost sight of Yan Ruyu.
"Cunning!"
Li Chuan chose not to continue the chase, as her speed and various tactics were too difficult to catch up with.
...
"Wow..."
After running at full speed for a while, Yan Ruyu confird Li Chuan wasn't following her, then spat out another mouthful of blood and sat down against a large tree.
During her escape, the mask had fallen off, and the blood had already stained the qipao red.
She looked very distressed.
Li Chuan's recent strike almost knocked her soul out of her body; she, a re woman, truly couldn't bear it.
If she hadn't cultivated True Qi to protect her internal organs at the critical mont, she might have been finished!
"That kid, so young, how could he have such a strong Martial Arts realm? Even with such strength?"
Yan Ruyu took a Healing Elixir, steadying her breath.
Then she began to channel energy to heal, and after quite a while, she gradually regained her senses.
However, her exquisite face remained pale due to severe injury and blood loss.
She looked incredibly frail, pitiable to behold.
But as long as a man saw that face, he'd be smitten.
Yan Ruyu took another mask from the bag on her thigh and put it on.
The ridians in her arm were damaged.
Her internal organs were shaken.
Such injuries would require several days of recuperation!
Humiliation!
Since her debut, Yan Ruyu had never suffered such a defeat!
Recuperate? How could she recuperate like this?
After witnessing Li Chuan's immunity to poisons, she realized that ordinary poisons could no longer complete her task!
If she couldn't complete her mission, she would surely be ridiculed by her peers!
At least, under normal circumstances, she couldn't complete the mission smoothly.
Sotis, however, completing a mission doesn't require imnse strength. A clever mind, an attractive facade, could be enough.
This is the advantage of a female assassin!
"According to the information, this kid is extrely amorous and lustful..."
After a mont of contemplation, Yan Ruyu's eyes gradually filled with resolve.
