Escape

Chu Wuyao ran through the streets of the Original Desire Sect desperately, urging her cultivation and running with all her strength.

Feeling that Li Ruoshi was chasing behind her, her thoughts turned and she tried to look for a way to get out of this situation.

Suddenly, a whizzing noise came from behind her, causing her to instinctively turn her head.

Li Ruoshi, who was just a few meters behind her, was stretching one of her hands in the air, while the other one was pulling back something, as if she was holding a bow.

Chu Wuyao's intuition warned her of danger and coupled with the information she had previously obtained from Ruan Yi, she immediately reacted.

Stepping heavily on the ground, she threw her body forward, fell to the ground and rolled on the side.

"Boom!"

At the place where she previously stood, an arrow made out of spiritual energy hit, smashing the ground and causing rocks and soil to fly everywhere.

Some of the rocks flew towards Chu Wuyao and many small wounds appeared all over her body, blood spilling out of them.

"Damn...", Chu Wuyao gritted her teeth and got up as fast as she could, and started running away again.

For some reason, despite this dangerous situation, Chu Wuyao was becoming calmer and was able to judge the situation even more clearly, making her able to dodge the various attacks.

"Bang!"

A white delicate palm hit the empty air, producing a sonic boom, as Chu Wuyao was able to barely dodge to the side.

"Let's see just how many times you'll get lucky!", Li Ruoshi sneered and continued attacking her.

Sensing the injuries on her body which were constantly accumulating, Chu Wuyao opened the system panel and considered whether to heal her injuries, but finally decided against it.

Although she had been injured, her movements were affected much and Chu Wuyao was afraid that Li Ruoshi would her abnormal speed of healing and become even more murderous.

"Booom!"

Chu Wuyao turned into a corner, while Li Ruoshi's palm hit the wall of one of the residences of the outer disciples.

The wall of the building collapsed and a couple that was hugging each other naked on a bed revealed itself behind it.

The man's and woman's eyes widened and they hugged each other even tighter when they saw Li Ruoshi's figure that was surging with powerful aura and murderous intention.

Fortunately, Li Ruoshi didn't seem to care about them and only briefly glanced at them, before continuing the chase.

"Phew... So dangerous....", the man on the bed muttered and his words received a nod from the woman next to him.

They had just relaxed, when a whizzing sound reached their ears, as if the air was being cut through by a sharp object.

While they were filled with doubts, a transparent arrow flew in from the window of the building and hit the man in-between his legs.

Blood splashed everywhere as the man grimaced in pain as he saw his most precious possession being destroyed, while the woman stepped back with fear in her eyes.

"Aaaah!", the man screamed loudly.

"Trash! How dare you soil my eyes?", Li Ruoshi shouted from afar.

Chu Wuyao sensed what had just happened and thanked the man countless times inside her head for buying her some time.

"Brother, don't worry, your sacrifice is worth it."

"I swear that if there is an opportunity in the future, I''l take care of your girlfriend for you.", she whispered in a low voice.

Feeling that Li Ruoshi was still behind her, Chu Wuyao had to admit that she was a very determined person.

Thankfully, by now, she was already close to her destination.

"Boom!"

After she rolled to the side and dodged one more arrow made out of spiritual energy, she stepped on her feet and rushed into a familiar dark alley.

Nothing had changed inside the dark alley, with a masked man holding a red sword and attacking the corpse of a woman that lay on the ground.

Noticing Chu Wuyao's arrival, the masked man raised his head and stared at her silently, revealing a pair of red chaotic eyes.

Perhaps it was her imagination, but Chu Wuyao felt that those eyes were inexplicably similar to the red sword in the man's right hand.

The masked man stared at her, as if he was waiting to see what she would do, but something even he didn't expect happened.

Chu Wuyao only briefly glanced at him and then ignored him, running straight past him.

When she saw that the masked man was still not attacking her, she breathed a sigh of relief and her speed increased even more.

"Boom!"

The wall of a surrounding building collapsed and rocks and dust flew everywhere, while Li Ruoshi ran out of the broken wall and walked into the alley.

Seeing her, Chu Wuyao felt that her opportunity had come.

"Little brother, this is the woman that injured me. Avenge me!", she turned her head and shouted at the top of her lungs, but the movement of her legs never stopped and continued rushing forward.

Behind her, in the dark alley, the masked man and Li Ruoshi awkwardly stared at each other.

"The 7th Level of Qi Accumulation? Who are you?", Li Ruoshi asked with some curiosity.

But then, she immediately shook her head.

"It doesn't matter who you are. As long as you don't interfere in my actions, I'll spare your life for stopping me."

Her voice was indifferent and her tone was filled with disdain and contempt, as if the man with the same cultivation in front of her was something she could just slap to death.

The masked man didn't respond, but glanced at the corpse on the ground and then turned his head to where Chu Wuyao had ran to.

"Hehe...", he chuckled and raised the red sword in his hand, before rushing forward.

Ruan Yi had just fallen asleep, when the sound of the window slowly opening reached her ears.

Her ears twitched and her eyes widened and showed a red hue, as she got up and was ready to fight.

However, she didn't expect that the intruder was actually quite familiar.

It was a white haired woman, with gray eyes and wearing a long black dress on her body.

She was very beautiful, but at this time, blood spilled out of her mouth, her hands were twisted and she had many open wounds all over her body.

Her black dress was torn apart, revealing her white smooth skin and it was very obvious that she was severely injured.

"Chu Wuyao? What happened?", she rubbed her eyes and asked.

Chu Wuyao didn't answer her but staggered into the room, gritted her teeth and jumped straight into her arms, hugging her tightly.

Feeling the cold, bloody body hugging her and sensing her frail condition, Ruan Yi's eyes flashed a hint of hesitation.

Her eyes alternated between worry and ruthlessness while her hand unconsciously reached to her waist and touched a small sheathed knife.
