Chapter Seventy-Three Assassin

  "Tonight, I really can't stay in this house anymore."

  "Often I think of leaving, but my family is now facing a great crisis. They are begging me... Chen Ye, if you were in my shoes, what would you choose?"

  "If I were in their shoes, family would be something they couldn't bear to part with."

  At midnight, Chen Ye let out a heavy sigh in his heart. He was much luckier than usual at home, with only one person, Chen Yuan, pressuring him, but sometimes it was hard to bear.

  No matter if you can bear it or not, sometimes you just have to bear it.

  Frequent unexpected encounters make people sigh, but even on the night of the festival, he couldn't ask her to give up her family, he's just an outsider, can't interfere with other people's family affairs.

  "It's hard to let go." He sneered at himself, saying: "If I could let go, it would be great. That way, I would have left long ago. Why bother staying in this family that makes people hate each other so much?"

  "Tonight, under the moonlight, this flower has intertwined with mine, since we've obtained it together, then let's each have one!"

  Saying so, Chang Wenran handed over the slightly larger strange flower to Chen Ye.

  "The flowers are paired, now we each have one, hoping that through it, our relationship can be maintained."

  "Chen Ye didn't pick up, he said: 'The flowers have already been separated, don't let them be separated too far.'"

  "Actually, in your heart, you still don't consider me as a friend." Chang said with a gloomy tone.

  "When he heard this, Chen Ye thought for a moment and said: "It's still the same sentence, the word 'friend' is too precious. Once you become friends, you have to make some promises to each other, but now, I don't want to make too many promises to people."

  "How do you know I didn't make a promise to you?"

  His eyes were somewhat hollow: "From childhood to adulthood, I have never had friends, and from now on, I will not be able to make other friends. Are you so stingy with your own heart?"

  Chen Ye shook his head, indeed, the unfortunate encounter was pitiful, but this pity could not be used as a blind excuse and reason. The Chen family was now being eyed by others like a tiger, especially Chen Ye himself, who was at the forefront of the storm. Any carelessness would have disastrous consequences!

  Chen Ye couldn't help but be more careful, she often didn't expect... after all, in her heart, Chen Ye still had a sense of vigilance.

  It's not that they didn't want to meet at night, but it's just the way things are!

  "In that case, I will too..."

  Before they could finish their conversation, she and Chen Ye suddenly changed color. The latter's hands had already been placed on the wheelchair, and the mysterious energy flowed, carrying both people and chairs, and the two were already sweeping into the air, then shooting out of the valley like an arrow.

  "Hum!"

  The two had just stood up when a sharp, piercing sound suddenly appeared. In front of them, a sword energy that cut through the air emerged from the void, transforming into rolling waves of air that surged forward like a tide, covering the sky and earth.

  With his current cultivation at dawn, under the sword energy that filled the air, he could only choose to rapidly descend!

  Pong!

  The sword energy passed over their heads and struck the mountain wall, suddenly a deep pit appeared on the flat mountain wall, shocking at first sight.

  "Who's there?" A loud voice boomed from afar in the dark of night.

  "My target is her, none of your business, leave now!" In the space, a black-clothed masked woman slowly appeared, her figure flickering, and in an instant, she was already standing in front of the two.

  At this time, Chang Wei's heart secretly let out a faint sigh of relief. If the assassin was here to kill Chen Ye, she really feared that Chen Ye would misunderstand.

  The current imperial capital is too chaotic, and there are also too many people who want to kill Chen Ye.

  At midnight, he thought the person who came was there to kill him, but unexpectedly, the target turned out to be Chang Weiran.

  "Last night, she was looking for me, you can go!"

  Chen Ye smiled and said: "Although we are not friends, but always come here together. Don't worry, Miss Chang, I will definitely send you away safely from here."

  "Are you often alone?"

  The black-clothed and masked woman couldn't help but snicker: "Chen Ye, you'd better not be unaware of the consequences, this 'Miss Chang' of yours..."

  "Hah!"

  The wheelchair, which had been motionless until now, suddenly moved at an astonishing speed. Two sharp arrows shot out from the handles of the wheelchair, wrapped in a mysterious aura, and flew through space with a series of tremors, appearing instantly.

  "Her cultivation is actually so formidable?"

  The night of Chen was stunned for a moment, and although he had been in contact with the former for some time, he had never let him feel that the latter had the cultivation of the initial mysterious realm!

  Just this covert means alone makes one understand that the place where he is located is not ordinary.

  However, as a man, he couldn't bear to let his female companion take risks, and this was one thing that still remained of a man's pride for Chen Ye.

  When the black-robed woman with a sword cut off two sharp arrows, Chen Ye appeared in front of her like a ghost, and the power of the Jiaolong body quickly merged with the mysterious energy, his fist was as strong as a mountain, heavily smashing down.

  The black-robed woman's eyes changed color slightly, and her palm shot out like electricity.

  In an instant, Chen Ye only felt the space around him, as if it had been sealed off. The power transmitted from the opponent's palm easily broke through his energy and lightly imprinted itself on his chest.

  Pong!

  At midnight, he flew back quickly.

  "What an incredibly powerful cultivation!"

  At night, Zhen thought to himself that even if he were to encounter Xiao Mo at his peak, when he had reached the first level of the Sixfold Spirit Stage through his secret technique, he would still be able to put up a fight. Yet in front of this woman, he felt like a small child.

  The black-clothed masked woman's target was indeed not Chen Ye, but only forced him to retreat, without harming him. However, when facing Chang Wei Ran, that fierce killing intent was completely unmasked.

  Although he was quite skilled in martial arts, his legs were limited, and in front of the black-clothed, masked woman, he had no resistance at all.

  "Don't even think about hurting Chang Nuo!"

  A flash of white light, a small knife tightly grasped in front, the subtle intent of the knife suddenly dispersing throughout heaven and earth, instantly stirring up heaven and earth, with a burst of thunder-like roar.

  "Shatter Blade!"

  At dawn, a fierce shout was heard, and a sharp knife flashed out, in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the black-clothed masked woman.

  The sharpness of the blade made the black-clothed, masked woman unable to ignore it, forcing her to give up her intended killing blow. The long sword changed direction and stabbed straight at the blade's edge.

  The seemingly invincible blade was unexpectedly vulnerable under the long sword.

  But Chen Ye's original intention was not to defeat the black-clothed masked woman. Seeing that he had attracted her attention, his body moved rapidly and in an instant, he arrived behind Chang Wei Ran, grabbed the wheelchair, and with Chang Wei Ran, flew swiftly towards the outside of the valley.

  The cultivation of the black-clothed and masked woman was really too strong. Even if Chang Wu Yan's legs were fine, the two of them joining forces would not be able to defeat her.

  "Tonight, all I want is her, don't force me to kill you."

  At midnight, he felt that his speed and reaction were already fast enough, but the black-clothed masked woman was even faster. Just as they had just sprinted a hundred meters away, she floated down from the sky like a ghost in front of them.

  Listening to the overtones in her words, Chen Ye smiled and said: "If I don't go with her today, then whatever you want to do, it's none of my business. So if you want to kill her, first get past me."

  "This level is not difficult!"

  "I know, but I'll do my best!"

  At this moment, a strong and yet imperceptible aura is slowly surging and floating... This aura does not belong to Chen Ye. Under the cover of this aura, a heart-pounding power is gradually emerging from the small knife in his hand.

  The black-clothed and masked woman's eyes narrowed, coldly saying: "Chen Ye, do you know that the woman you're risking your life to save today may be the one who hurts you the most in the future."

  "Let's not talk about whether I believe you or not, even if what you said is true. A real man has things he will and won't do. Although I'm not someone who usually leaves danger behind, neither am I a reckless person who doesn't care about his life. If she really hurts me in the future, I'll take matters into my own hands and kill her myself."

  Suddenly, the black-clothed masked man burst out laughing coldly: "Since that's the case, let me see what you mean by going all out, and what kind of strength it is. It will also prove a doubt in my heart."

  This sentence Chen Ye didn't understand, but there was no time for him to think carefully. In front of him, a sword blade tens of meters in size, like a giant python, tore through space, flashing with deadly sword energy, and chopped down violently!

  The entire square was already under the sword's edge, transformed into a vacuum zone that no one could enter, and from then on, it became a distorted area.
