The sound of something cutting through the air echoed, and a small, cold glint emerged from the darkness.
"Watch out!"
Bu Shiyi's pupils suddenly shrank as she slapped Bu Lige's body with a palm.
With a gentle push, the latter retreated a few steps.
Whoosh!
In the next instant, a thin silver needle appeared at the spot where Bu Lige had been standing.
Most of the silver needle had already embedded itself in the bluestone slab, and the part that remained outside still trembled slightly.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Bu Lige gritted his teeth.
If Bu Shiyi hadn't reacted in time, he would have been hit by the silver needle long ago!
That's how his last hidden wound had happened!
Bu Shiyi stared in the direction where the silver needle had come from, flicking her fingers.
A few raindrops shot out like sharp swords.
Immediately, a few more cold lights flashed in the darkness, crushing the raindrops.
"You sneaky coward!" Bu Shiyi snorted coldly.
With a touch on her space ring, a three-foot-long green sword appeared out of thin air.
"Heh heh heh, sharp-tongued little girl."
A cold laugh sounded, reminiscent of fingernails scraping on glass, very unsettling.
A figure dressed in a black robe emerged from the darkness.
If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to see him at all!
His ability to hide was truly terrifying!
Moreover, the aura emanating from the black-robed man was extremely powerful, a peak Spirit Realm!
Compared to Bu Shiyi, he was much stronger!
Bu Shiyi gritted her teeth and clenched her long sword.
A peak Spirit Realm; with her current strength, she couldn't possibly win.
But she could still buy some time.
Bu Shiyi made a decision in her heart.
When the fight began, she would tell Bu Lige to escape first.
The farther he ran, the better!
But it was clear that Bu Shiyi's plan was doomed to fail.
Because she heard a familiar voice, like a divine melody.
"When did the Shadow Kill list start intervening in the disputes between empires?"
A beautiful figure approached from the middle of the alley, and the rain parted on either side, just like a scene from a fairy tale.
"Sister Ziyan!"
Bu Lige and Bu Shiyi cried out in surprise.
Yao Ziyan smiled and nodded to the two of them.
In fact, even if Luo Chuan hadn't said anything, she would have intervened.
After all, Yao Ziyan had become quite familiar with the two of them over these days and wouldn't stand by idly watching this scene unfold.
The black-robed man was also taken aback when he saw Yao Ziyan appear.
Unexpectedly, there was such a woman in Jiuyao City!
But what Yao Ziyan said made the black-robed man's heart race with alarm.
The black-robed man couldn't fathom how Yao Ziyan could see through his identity!
In order to complete the assassination mission, the black-robed man had already planned for several months.
Although he didn't know what was in that alley that attracted so many masters, he did not dare to investigate further.
The more he knew, the faster he would die. This was a truth he had understood very early on.
Therefore, he had been waiting for the right time to strike.
Today, he finally waited!
However, the fact that his identity was revealed with just one word was beyond his expectations.
It was like a perfect plan, suddenly marred by a fatal flaw during execution!
"Who are you?!" The black-robed man shouted in a deep voice, with a trace of fear in his voice.
Yao Ziyan shook her head slightly, unwilling to waste words on him. "You are not qualified to know."
In the next instant, a purple brilliance bloomed from her hand!
On the Tianlan Continent, the spiritual power of cultivators was generally white.
Typically, only those who practiced special techniques would have spiritual energy that showed different colors.
Purple spiritual power was extremely rare.
Especially this purple, which looked very luxurious, like that of a born emperor!
Just looking at it made people feel the urge to surrender.
