Chapter 221: Chapter 224: The Pursuers Arrive!

“Chase!”

The Nine-blade Killer swung his weapon instantly, his voice cold.

“I’ll hold off these Tianyu Royal Family people, you go after the target!”

His voice was filled with bitterness, unable to believe he had been outsmarted by that ant-like youth.

It was unpleasant, to be humiliated by someone he hadn’t even considered a threat!

What was even more unbearable was that the target, which had been within grasp, had escaped!

The bounty on the target was worth a fortune, tempting even someone of his strength at the Saint Realm!

If it weren’t for the apparent vulnerabilities in the target and their diminishing strength, they wouldn’t have risked making a move!

In the Supreme Assassin Pavilion, many were waiting to claim his bounty!

Having found such a rare opportunity, he couldn’t let it slip away!

“Yes!”

The Seventh and Eighth Blade assassins from the Supreme Assassin Pavilion responded gravely, swinging their weapons as they followed in retreat.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

Their figures, swift as blood, dashed towards the direction where Luo Qingtong and Ye Qianming had fled!

“Damn! They are catching up! Hurry up!”

Luo Qingtong, having left a series of detection devices along their escape route, suddenly felt a chill as they were triggered.

“Master?”

Beiqing looked at Ye Qianming with a questioning gaze.

“Unseal!” Ye Qianming’s face was grim, the two words squeezed out through clenched teeth!

This woman was driving him insane!

Did she think she could escape like this?

Once he regained his strength, he would ensure she had no chance to escape!

Luo Qingtong was also internally planning her escape at the moment!

This man had been completely fooled by her! He must be thinking about how to capture her to vent his anger!

If he catches her, she’s doomed!

Luo Qingtong thought of what she had done to Ye Qianming, her heart filled with guilt.

Gazing at Ye Qianming’s intense, unwavering cold stare fixated on her, a wave of helplessness swept through her.

She was here to save him!

Could this man stop looking at her as if she were prey?!

Even though she had wronged him before… okay, a lot, she was here to make amends, right?!

Should the Netherworld Venerable be so petty?

Was this how he repaid the reverence and admiration people had for him? Be magnanimous!

Luo Qingtong felt increasingly frustrated.

However frustrated, she had no intention of leaving at this moment.

Although now was clearly the perfect moment for her to escape–this man was busy unsealing his points, and pursuers were close behind, too preoccupied to pay attention to her!

But the thought of what might happen if she left now, and he didn’t manage to unseal in time, plunging into danger, stopped her in her tracks!

Alas! She might as well go all the way!

After all, she was the one who had trapped him! She would wait until he finished unsealing before figuring a way out!

There should… be a way out, right?

Thinking of this man’s terrifying strength, Luo Qingtong’s mouth twitched.

No, she should leave now!

Just as she thought this, swoosh! A blood-like phantom suddenly appeared at the end of the alley ahead, where they were hiding.

“Damn! How did these people arrive so quickly?!”

Seeing those imposing figures, Luo Qingtong felt a surge of dread.

She had only estimated the timing based on an Emperor-level warrior!

These people arrived much earlier than she had anticipated!

What level of strength did they possess?!

“Kill!” The assassins from the Supreme Assassin Pavilion waved their weapons without a word, charging forward.

Meanwhile, Ye Qianming’s acupoints had not been fully unsealed yet!
